and while the success Of the
recent enterprise of giving Grand
Opera in English has apparently
broadened the field Of endeavor.
a radical change has occurred
within the last ten years that at
once restricts and broadens this
field. Let me explain.
The whole art is changing and
so are the conditions surround
ing it. AS far back as we can re-
member great singers seem to
have come in periods "a group
at a time. When Maurice Grau
came to the Metropolitan. there
was a period Of great singers.
These seem to have disappeared.
retired. or died out. At any rate.
that periodical group has gone.
Then there came the De Reszke
period. These great singers
seemed to bring to the surface
another galaxy of brilliant stars
who also passed away. Time
passed and now we have Caruso,
Fremstadt. and a number Of
others. All the Rigolettos. the
Romeos and Juliets. and all that
sort of thing have gone. In
their stead has come Wagner and
the new school. which does not
so much require voices.
THE singer must have voice.
l of course. but it is not the one
essential. as of old. She must
know how to act. Madame
Melba. for instance. could not
sing Carpenters Louise" be-
cause she has not the dramatic
skill which it requires. She has
the old Italian Bel Canto voice.
her work is in great arias. But I
would not 60 and sit through an
evening just to hear those arias
alone.
The new school has made the
opera more difficult. Less abso-
lutely perfect technique in the
voice is required. Still, the more
operas that are written the
greater is the difficulty, since
these are composed with view
to dramatic as we'll as vocal abil-
ity in the artist who is to exploit
them.
The aspirant today must be an
actress as we'll as a singer. Audi

Of the hoIdup, probably watching the

The conclusions reached by the Of
ficers explode the theory that the
bandits escaped by auto or horseback
unless. as Sheriff Taylor says. they
travelled by a short distance on the
train to where other means OF escape
awaited them. This, however, he
thinks improbable.
Since yesterday there has been no
further clearing OF the clouds which
obscure the identity OF the dead ban
dit whose body is still held In the To-
cal morgue unclaimed. Though many
still hold the opinion that it is Hugh
Whitney. the notorious idaho outlaw.
others doubt it gravely. The arrival
of another picture OF Whitney this
morning from Sheriff Ed Rand placed
doubt even in the mind OF Sheriff
Taylor who has been strongly OF the
orinion that the identity was estab-
lished while some of the features of
the picture conform to those of the
dead man. others are strikingly diff
serent. The greatest discrepancy is In
the hair. That of the dead man is
black and straight whereas Whitney's
shows curly. However, since the
blood has been washed out OF the

yer siding. nine miles east Of the
scene OF the robbery, Sheriff T. D.
Taylor and Special Agent E. B.
Wood of the O.-W. r. & N, returned
last evening from their manhunt and
today are directing the search from
this city by wire.
With the aid of the bloodhounds
brought from the Walla Walla peni-
Tertiary by Guard Francis Davis. they
followed the trail of the bandits for
about % miles through the noun
tains and it was so fresh that the Of
ficers are convinced that the two fu-
gitives spent the entire day in hid

that night or early yesterday morn
ing.
The trail had been discovered
Thursday by Deputy Ira Hughes and
Ranger Hiram Schreckhise. but, ow-
ing to the hardness of the ground.
had not been followed far. The
hounds were placed on this trail and
the scent was evidently strong for
they had no difficulty in holding It.
Often for miles at time. the dogs
led so rapidly that the men were
forced to run TO keep pace. For sew
en- and a half hours they followed il
up one draw and down another. At

doubled back at sharp angle. The
officers believe they travelled over q

In one place the trail led along the
main road for a distance of severa
