The Union government has given specia!
facilities for the discussion In the house

Smart. the leader OF the Opposition that,
in view of the state OF anxiety or the
public mind as to the increasing preva-
ience Of crimes by black men against
white women the government should con-
slider the appointment of commission
of Inquiry. Sir Thomas said he had been
informed that twenty firms were engaged
in Illicit liquor selling on the Rand. and
that this was largely responsible for the
black peril

said the government had hitherto hest
tated to appoint commission, as such a
course would Immediately bring the

VIENNA, May u.s.
Three burglars who were determined TO
emulate the motor bandits of Paris kept
thirty police constables at bay for over
two hours early this morning. after they
were discovered roobing a. safe IN q vino
shop.
When ordered to surrender they opened
IRE with automatic pistols. and barri-
caded the doors of the building. AS the
electric wires had been cut. the battle
was fought in darkness.
The police surrounded the shop and re-
turned the burglars fire from the windows
OF neighboring buildings. Two burglars
surrendered at daybreak, but their leader
declined to give himself up. He threatened
to kill every policeman who entered the
building.
The police finally battered down the
door. and Just they rushed into tho
shop the burglar shot himself. He died
whiio being taken to a hospital.
He was afterward identified as the no.
torious criminal Adamek. who has COM
mitted many burglaries in Vienna Some

In reply to an interview yesterday
Mahmoud Shevket Pasha, the Turkish
war minister, made the following ex-
prc,t declaration on the war with Italy:
"Italy's action in the Aegean Sea, in
Guiding the occupation of Rhodes. is
merely childs play which cannot have
any influence whatever on the conclusion
OF peace.
..The Turkish government and nation
are equally resolved to resist to the
end We shall never give way; we shall
fight to finish.
This war will spell the ruin OF Italy.
as Turkey will suffer neither the moral
nor the material losses which viii fall
on Italy"

The reactonary supporters Of Abdul

.PUCCIN| WILL WRITE
NEW OPERA IN SPAIN
Popular Spanish Comedy ~ Quin-
tero to Be Basis of the
Libretto
THE TRIUMPH OF YOUTH
Production the Most Ambitious
Yet Attempted by the
Composer
HE TRIUMPH OF YOUTH
BERLIN. May 25.

BERLIN. May Is.
s!gnor Puccini Is preparing to 60 TO
Spain. where he will write the music OF
his new opera. which is to be first pro-
duced in London next autumn.
Puccini has taken 'Anima Allegro. f"
the popular Spanish comedy by ouintero
as the basis OF the liore,to. and 1t is
probable that the opera. like the play,
will be IN three acts. 1t is said to EN-.
phasize the triumph of joyous youth over
old ase, and, according TO private re.
ports received here. the production will
be the most ambitious of any yet at
tempted by the famous composer.
The First Act
The first act OF the opera will show
the castle OF the Marchioness Arrayane.
where tho marchioness. dull old woman,
lives quiet life surrounded by a small
and Eedate court.
Pedro, the son OF the marchioness,
thinks his ancestral home too gloomy as
a permanent residence. and he only visits
the castle when he needs money. He
changes his mind. however. when Lolita,
Arrayano with her maid, Coralina- Lo-
lita enliveps the court in many ways.
and her escapades reduce Don Eigio. the
court marshal. to despair.
The second act takes place in vii
lage near the castle. Tho cheerfulness
OF Lolita and her maid proves conta-
gious. The entire community becomes
merry, and @ great feast IS given. at
which tho belle OF the village Is mar
ried and the villagers participate in
dances. Lolita, having spent all her mon
ey at the festivities, is unable to give
the bride any present except some good
advice. which ia this: Always bo gay;
always be charitable; lie should be full
OF laughter"
Scenes of Gayety
Her advice is followed Immediately. and
scenes OF wild gayety ensue. Don Pedro
arrives for the purpose of taking Lolita
back to the castle, where the old March
ioness is waiting to discipline her for her
.soandalous' behavior.
But Don Pedro has fallen in love with
Lolita Instead of taking her away from
the fets he joins heartily in the fesdvi-
ties. and dances and sings with the vii
layers until his mission Is forgotten. The
scene, and orders both young people to
accompany her back 10 the castle.
The third act -transpires in the castle.
The principal scene Is q long duet be-
tween the lovers. The Alarchioness. after
much hesitation, gives her consent to
their betrothal. and the play ends with
the triumph OF youth over dreary old age.
Spanish folk songs In the music. The
opera will probably be produced in Rome.
as well as in London. before It is taken
to New York.
Caru.o Will probably sing the part Of
Pedro.
