AN OPERA MINUS THE cHoRus

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir; Last Friday night / attended a
performance Of Donizetti's Don Pasquale.
the peculiar feature of which was the an
sClute absence of the chorus 1t was sivar
by the artists OF the Metropolitan Opera
House at The New Theatre, and I was syr-
prised TO ind that some of the best Num-
pers were not sung, one OF which was the
famous serenade by the tenor. that Is
written with chorus accompaniment. in
quired and learned that the management
at the last moment had found that all the
chorlsters were busy at the METROPOLITAN
ana mat there was not one to be spared
for the performance of Donizettis opera
L remember that when in the last year
Of Mr. Conrieds management one nor
formance OF Faust" vas given without
the chorus on account of a strike +bo
press then did not fail to EXPRESS most
severely its dissatisfaction. and I find -
very strange that not one word has O.,
peared in our papers to protest as.ios+
this treatment accorded TO such nastar-
piece as Don Pasquale'' at the hands %
the management of the worlds first one
ratio institution without any justidable rea-
son.
For the sake of art I wish that our
music critics would make Mr.. CART
Casazza we'll understand that such .'nTi,ar.,
methods cannot be applied TO a CITY tba+
spends millions of dollars to get the ..,,a,.,,
best" nor by an institution which 70 -
puted to make every possible effort to an
able our people to enjoy that very hast..
even at cost facing a deficit OF hal, .
million dollars in a single operatic season
as the case seems to be.

PUNISHMENT on THE STOCK EX-
CHANGE.

The punishment meted out by the
Stock Exchange to the brokers who
participated in the Rock Island episode
is being criticised both as inadequate
and as excessive. 1t is called in
adequate by those who are disappointed
because so sensational an incident is
followed by so commonplace a sentence
as mere suspension. 1t is pronounced
excessive by those who feel that the
real culprit escapes and who say that
The brokers' part in the transaction was
innocent But the really proper criti-
cism of the punishment is that it takes
such exceptional developments as the
Rock Island episode to bring il down
upon offenders against legitimate specu-
lation. If q bungle of some sort had
not been made in the Rock Island cam
paign does any one believe that any
penalty would have been visited upon
the brokers? Still, the offence would
have been exactly the same.
II whenever it became apparent to
the Stock Exchange that a campaign
Of manipulation was under way in any
stock the exchange should institute an
inquiry and punish the brokers partic-
ipating in it in the same way in which
the brokers who were so unlucky as TO
have executed the unbalanced Rock ISL
and orders were punished, the penalty
of suspension would be sufficient de-
terrent. But if the exchange is to take
c0gnizance of the matter only when
manipulators are so unfortunate or NAL
adroit as to have their proceedings SEN
sationally advertised in the newspapers
there will be criticism of the inadequacy
of the protection afforded TO the public
against the activities of stock gamblers.
If the state punished only sensational
murderers not much headway would be
made toward the protection of society.

professional qualifications are Of the

The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court that the Inter
state Commerce Commission has power
to direct railroad to apportion freight
cars impartialiy among the coal COM
panles along it's line which ask for
transportation facilities sustains one of
the important provisions of the Hepburn
railroad rate law. Investigations by the
Interstate Commerce Commission had
disclosed evidence Of favoritism to COM
panies with special influence and of dis
elimination against others. Hereafter a
fair distribution must be made of all
coal cars-those the railroad owns those
ii has on hand belonging to other rail-
roads and even the private cars of coal
companies which are in use ON its tracks.
This decision, taken with the one given
last year as to the transportation by
railroads of products mined or manu-
factured by themselves. will go far tow
ard reTnedying the abuses arising from
community Of interest between shipper
and common carrier, OF which many of
the smaller coal producers had cause to
complain.

Until the series Of aviation contests at
Los Angeles comes to close the discus
sion Of the new records being made there
must necessarily be postponed. Yet one
feature of the meeting already invites
comment. Paulhans daring feats are
said to have excited the wild enthusiasm
of spectators, though the aeronaut's wife
is a notable exception to the rule, and
for the best Of reasons There is reason
to fear that not a few Of those who have
been thrilled by the achievements at Los
Angeles will soon attempt fight with
such machines as they can manufacture
or purchase, and with sublime confidence
in the ease and safety Of the under
taking. Most of them will discover their
mistake too late, and there is a fine
promise Of broken arms, broken legs and
broken necks in consequence. If the
reckless amateurs in aviation were the
only ones who would suffer there would
be less cause for regret.
