New York, Mar. 2.-The production
of "Natoma," grand opera In Eng
lish, is probably the most notable
event of the year, in operate and mus
ical circles. The opera, written by
Americans, produced in English and
given it's initial presentation in an
American city, marks new era in the
operatic world, where European com:
posers and European tongues have
long reigned predominant. The muse
was composed by Victor Herbert; the
libretto was written by Joseph D. Red
ding. The opera has been produced
successfully at the Philadelphia Op-
era House and was then transferred
to New York, to the Metropolitan Op-
era house. In the cast were many
notable stars. In the accompanying
illustration Mary Garden Is shown in
the titular part of Natoma, an Indian
maiden, and Lillian Grenville as Bar.

Authorities Anticipate Death
Of q Million People From
Starvation

Peking, China, Mar. 2.-Famine and
plague are sweeping over China. Known
deaths from the plague number 80, 900
and according to official statistics the
death rate averages 200 daily. But the
officials have little knowledge of con-
ditions in the interior, or they are not
permitting the facts to be known. There
are few or no foreigners in the in
terror, and conditions there Tor this
reason are not attracting much public
attention. 1t is impossible even to es-
innate the number of deaths that have
resulted from lack of food.
Samuel Cochrane, an American, who
Is engaged in the work of relief, writes:
"One million people will die before the
first crop is harvested. This will be
scanty, because the people have not
the strength to till the soil, and no ami
mails remain for blowing. Owing to the
political question involved between
China and Russia and the presence of
foreigners along the railways, the
plague in Manchuria is receiving great
er attention than the famine, but the
death rate from the famine is many
times greater than that from plague.
The famine is result of ths destruc-
ton of the crops by the fall of sixteen
inches of rain in two days last August
in the district where people ordinarily
have a hand-to-mouth existence"

Princess Di Trigona Of Italy
Stabbed to Death in
Cheap Hotel
Lover was Officer in Army
and Said to be Implicated.
in Scandal
10y Associated Press.)

Rome, March 2.-Princess Di Tri.
gona, lady-in.Waiting to Queen Helena,
niece of Marquis Di San Ciuliano,
Italian minister OF fireign affairs, and
cousin of Prince Di Scalea, secretary
Of state in the foreign Office, was muir.
dered today III small hotel in this
city by Lieutenant Baron Paterno, q
cavalry officer, who then shot him
SELF Paterno was still alive when
the room occupied by the couple was
entered by hotel employees, but the
princess was found lying on the bed
dead. She had been stabbed In the
neck and death was almost instan-
taneous. Princess Di Trigona was
one of the most beautiful ladies.in-
waiting to the queen, and her tragic
end has caused tremendous sensa-
tion. She was at the court ball on
Monday and attracted more than ordi-
nary attention as we'll as general ad-
miration. She had had q disagree.
ment with her husband, which deeply
grieved the queen. Her majesty used
every influence to reconcile the couple
but without success. Baron Palermo,
who had been In close attendance on
the princess Tor some time past, en-.
gagged roof In small hotel this
morning. Soon he was Joined by
Princess Di Trigona and they re.
NAMED together until afternoon. A
waiter, passing through the hall heard
. pistol shot, followed by groans. An
attempt was made to break in the
door, but this proved too strong to be
forced, and employees entered the room
by a window. The princess, half
dressed, lay on the bed in a pool of
blood. The dagger had severed blood
vessels In the neck and she had bled
to death. Palermo was outstretched
on the floor. There was q bullet
wound in his breast, made in an evi-
dent attempt to commit suicide, but
he was still alive and was quickly
removed to other quarters. The prin-
cess had been summoned to appear
before the courts today in separation
brought by her husband.
Both she and Palermo we're Sicilians.
Last summer the princess was at
Saint Moritz, with her two daughters,
who are Z and IA years old, wren she
received letter from Palermo ex-
planning that his debts prevented him
from Joining her. She was touched
by Paterno's recital of his embarrass.
ment and sent him a check, which he
turned over to one of his creditors.
The creditor, it is said, instead of
sashing the check, used it for black.
mail purposes against Prince Di Tri-
yona, thus revealing the scandal. It
seems that the princess intended the
meeting today to be q parting with
Ter lover. When Queen Helena was.
informed of the tragedy she tainted.
