| himself to the pretty singer. It was
Mr.. sohlke. general stage director for
B. c. Whitney.
Quite sensibly he approved of the
singers voice and appearance, and
asked her whether she were looking
for employment in opera.
Quite naturally Miss Bergere said
that she was, and quite agreeably a
contract was drawn up providing for
Miss Bergere's appearance in one of
the principal roles of "a Broken Idol
in which her success was sufficient to
secure her promotion into f. C. Whit
ney's (the other brother) production of
"The Chocolate Soldier" That was
three years ago. and with her year in
- Broken Idol" constitutes Miss Ber-
ceres experience as star in comic
opera until the Tivoli engagement.
But do not run off with the erroneous
notion that such leaps into the middle
of comic opera activity may be taken
easily or frequently, for there are few
who succeed to principal posts in
light opera until they have carried the
burden of much preliminary spear car
rying.
Besides, in the case of Hon Bergere
and in this, too, the singularity of
her experience in opera is seen-she
had enjoyed the opportunity of study
with some of the best teachers of
voice culture on both sides of the At
lantic. She brought to comic opera
a cultivated voice of natural beauty
and fullness which had been developed
under the training of Oscar Sanger of
New York, and Regneas of Paris. To
these advantages she added the viva

swered with truthfulness, whereupon
Miss Bergere smiled, as though she
would say something TO the discredit
OF my powers of horsemanship, and
then she giggled, which proved her to
be possessed no less of sense of
humor than of courtesy. For what, I
ask you, is more delicately courteous
others attempts to be funny?
And in this, too-this sense of humor
and kindliness-Miss Bergere may be
said to be peculiar among comic opera
condolences.

Bergere that she must do some

had been devoted merely to the good
of their own home in ST. Louis, with
Sunday appearances as soloist in the
church by way Of exercising her culti-
waited talents as singer. So she
thought perhaps she might put to some
financial account the musical educa-
tion she had received and as yet with

500 TO place Ernest Roehn, a young

that Mrs. Roehn could bring suit for
divorce.
Roehn capped the climax by swearing
that McSorley told him that II Roehn
would permit his wife to get divorce
he would give the Roehn's a 800 auto

McSorley on the witness stand denied
that he ever made any such proposition
TO either Roehn or Mrs. Scully. He de-
clared that Mrs. ScUlly once hinted that
she thought she and a friend OF hers
ought to get 500 for hushing up some
secrets in which Mrs. Scully might be
interested. McSorley told her she
coludn't get a cent from him.

FARMERS MAY UNITE
AGAINST THE CITIES
Horticulturist Tells Y. M. C.. A. Mem
bers that Unity of Producers
Is Contemplated.

Unless the farmers receive just
prices for their produce, they are go
ing to unite the country over and
starve the cities into paying them any
thing they ask. This prediction was
made last night by Prof. l. c. Corbett.
horticultiurist of the Department of
Agriculture. in the course OF a lee
ture on Feeding the Multitude de-
livered before the educational depart
ment Of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Prof. Corbett's lecture
was largely taken up with a discus
sion of the high cost OF living.
We complain, for instance. of the
high cost OF milk" said Prof. Corbett:
yet hardly a dairy in the United
States is paying a reasonable percent
age on the investment. The city man
constantly demands a better quality of
food. better service, and greater at
tention from the dealer. These de-
mands stimulate the dealer to ask
higher and higher prices: but the pro-
ducer rarely receives his proper share
OF the advance.
The problem of the high cost of liv-
ing does not rest with the farmer for
solution. He has been striving for
years to produce more crops at less
cost, and he is doing II. We must
also work on the other side OF the
problem-how to get the farmers pro-
duce to the consumer economically and
in proper condition.
II am glad that the conditions which
lead to this question OF the high cost
of living are in existence. The city
has long been drawing apart from the
country; the solution OF the high-liv-
ing cost problem will bring them back
again"

SCANDAL" BLOWS UP.
Secretary Fisher Answers Charge.
Brought by OIL Company.

Another Democratic scandal went
up in smoke yesterday. The explosion
took place before the House Committee
on Indian Affairs. when Walter L.
Fisher, Secretary of the Interior,
answered the charges against him
brought by officers of the Uncle
Sam Oil Company. The officers had
charged that Secretary Fisher. as the
administrator of the affairs of the
Usage Indians, had issued orders, dis
posing of oil lands in the interest of
the Standard Oil Company.
The Uncle Sam Company set up the
claim that II was an independent, and
that for that reason IL had been made
a victim by Secretary Fisher. The
committee was convinced for time
that they were confronted by a sizeable
scandal, but yesterday the scandal. so
far as II affects the administration,
disappeared. 1t is the understanding
that Attorney General wickersham has
in his possession information against
the oil company that brought the
charges against Secretary Fisher
which officers OF that company may be
compelled to meet in the courts
The District Supreme Court yester-
day refused to issue a writ of man
damus, as asked by the Uncle Sam
company, prohibiting the Secretary of
the Interior from carrying out his or
der for the removal of the Usage ooun-
cilmen. The court held in effect that
the Secretary acted entirely within his
legal rights in removing the council
men.
