PARIS, Sept 1--tSpeciat Cable r.
Announcement in Berlin telegram
that Putnam Griswold, the American
hasso. may shortly pc entrusted with
the management of a national school
OF opera in America subsidized oy
rich Americans and possibly con-
troiied to some extent by the United
States government, has aroused much
interest here. The creation of
school built on the lines of the world
famous Paris conseryatorire has been
warmly adsocared in these columns.
Discussing Mr. Griswold's plan to-
day Miss Mary Garden said:
"A school OF the kind mentioned
would render great assistance both
to art and to America The pro-
jeeted conservatorie Is to be estab-
iisheti in New York. and its first aim
should be to teach it's students Eng
lish diction. When last spring ] at
tended performance of Mona at
the Metropolitan hardly understood
one word the artists sang and yet |
made myself quite clear In ,Natora,T
because | worked hard English die
ton can be mastered If one studies
it in the same way as French or Ger
man or Italian diction.'
Should Sing in English.
Andre Messenger. director of the
Paris opera house, who happened TO
be present added this:
English is both beautiful and
singable language. / never under
stood why 1t is heard SO very seldom
in America. A conservatory should
be the foundation of all national
opera There are some snobs in every
country who want opera to be sung
only in the original. but if We did
as they desired here we should ex-
clude the vast majority OF French
men from tfTE -cfftos rfe7rt OF opera.

President Taft Runs From $4,000
to $1,000 Behind Opponent
in Primaries

San Francisco, May with few
precincts missing it is shown today
that only about one republican vote
of every four cast, was for President
Taft. Taft men admit that Colonel
Roosevelt has a plurality of $4,000.
Roosevelt men say it will run up to
$4,000 and that Roosevelt may have
majority over Taft and La Toilette
combined.
President Taft ran strongest in San
Francisco where he ran close to
Roosevelt. In other sections he was
badly beaten.
Complete returns from 21O9 of 300
precincts gave Roosevelt 9S,091, Taft
51S15 and La Toilette 911S6.
Clark has substantial plurality
over Wilson. Figures from all pre-
cincts reporting gave Clark 26,321 and
Wilson 11,9T4.
Taft supporters when they found
out that Taft won a victory in the
fourth congressional district, a part
of San Francisco. announced they
would disregard the Roosevelt prefer

test two delegates of this district to
