pronounced everywhere. When the company made it's tour last season it. was declared that the singers who composed its list of principals were so admirably fitted to their roles that they formed a perfect organization. A short vacation of few weeks inter- vsned between last season and this and the producers retained the entire company. Gene Luneska, who sings the role of the saucy Princess Bozena, J. II. Goldsworthy, the naughty Prince Aladar, and most of those who filled out the cast last season still sing the same parts. Harry Short, the trage- dian Roland, Ethel Ivimey as Ursula, Flank Wooley as the sleuth, Arthur Hyde, who makes the role of Baron Rudi sparkle with music and Hattie Fox as the mischievous Annamirl, form a group of principals who swing through the melodious score and de- velop the fascinating romance with splendid effect. At Atlantic City, where the company opened it's season, the enthusiasm exceeded even the ovation given the opera last season.

 FIGHT TO SAVE,
 STRIKE LEADERS

Courthouse. Salem. Mass, Nov. g. Counsel for Joseph Ettor, Arturo Gio- vanniti and Joseph Caruso, this morn ing, produced it's first trump card in the fight to save the strike leaders charged with the murder of one of their own number, Annie Lopizzo, from the chair
 Caruso's landlord, Antonio DiBar- toio, testified that Caruso, his wife and his Godfather, were eating together in Caruso's rooms at Is or 20 minutes Of o'clock the night of the shooting. Annie Lopizzo died about 5:30-
 He said he heard three shots fired while he was in the room
 Was there any talk made about the shots ?'' Yes"
 The witness testified that he was in no way related to either Caruso or Mrs. Caruso.
 The real alibi, however, was furnish ed by Salvatore Buonacozza. when he testified that he called on Caruso and his wife at about 15 or 20 minutes af- ter o'clock and found them eating. Annie Lopizzo is alleged to have been shot at almost exactly this time. The witness testified he was not related in any way to either Caruso or his wife.
 He corroborated DiBartolo's testi- mOny.
