BRIDGEPORT GIRL
 WILL SING OPERA HERE; MADE GOOD"
Miss Elizabeth Kelly, Sweet Singer, Is With the Royal
 Opera Go.

One of the principals with the Roy al Italian Opera Co.,, which comes here tomorrow is Miss Elizabeth Ke1- ly, a Bridgeport girl with a remark ably sweet soprano voice who has made good in grand opera. Miss Kelly was born in Bridgeport, and lived on the East side during her g1rIhood. When in Bridgeport she sang in the choir, of St. Mary's church and for a time she was employed in the Smith-AGurray Go. store Miss Kelly knew she had voice and she determined to develop it. She has been for years the sole support of her widowed mother and with no one to aid her. she went to New York and applied for position in the chorus of the Metropolitan Opera Go. On the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. house she had to appear with more than 200 other aspirants on whose voices Oscar Hammerstefn was to pass.
 The great impressio was seated in the front row of the parquet in his shirt sleeves and each aspirant was required to walk to the center of the stage facing him and try 8, song. One after another Miss Kelly saw those who preceded her turned away until at last her turn came.
 Wait called MT, Hammerstein before she had finished the first stan ga of the song, You have a voice. you'll do. Report to me in the morn ing.''
 a That was the beginning of Miss Ke1Iyss profeSsi onaI musical career. She obtained "a position in New York and sang in the chorus of the Met ropolitan studying all the time until MT. Hammerstein placed her on such l a salary that she could afford to de vote all her spare time to her music Miss Kelly soon became the leader of the feminine chorus and since then she has sung parts with the Boston and other famous opera companies Her last appearance i'm Bridgeport was last winter at the Plaza theatre when she sang at one of the Sun
 day night concerts given by the Wheeler & Wilson band.
 Miss Kelly has a host of friends in | this city who will be pleased to know the success she has made in her vo- cation. Her rise to a place of prom 1 thence in the musical world has been entirely due to hard work and her own effort. In the musical world Miss Kelly is known as E! Kelsini.

HUNT BLACK HAND GANG FOR THREAT
 AGAINST WITNESS

Upon the instigation of Judge Coughlin every effort today is being made to find the writer of the black hand letter received by Bernardo De Lorenzo, the aged street sweeper liv- ing on Grand street, who some months ago was robbed of S700 by Brooklyn, N Y, swFndIers. The letter is com sidered to have been the means of sealing the mouth of the victim when he appeared in the city court last week against the two men alleged to have swindIed him.
 The police are securing both this city as well as other large centers in an effort to ascertain if the two men who appeared in this city, represent ing themselves as lawyers about the time the letter was received, migbt have been instrumental in it's trans mission through the mails. The po- lice refuse to say where it was mailed
 The letter which is in red ink dis plays a crudely drawn cross above a. freshly made grave bears the following text in black ink:
 Dear friend:ssI let you know
 that here everything is fixed.
 beg that you will mind your own
 business by not abusing to speak
 against me. That you have
 nothing to say. Therefore put
 your tongue in place before you
 will have some trouble"
