BASSO'S FISTS FLY
OVER GIRLS VOICE
De Segurola Gets Bruise After
Denting Singing Masters
Shirt Front.

When Andrea de Segurola appeared
last night as Colline in LA Boheme
at the Metropolitan Opera House, those
members of the audience who were in
the front OF the orchestra noted that
upon his forehead appeared what
looked like somewhat prominent
bruise. The grease paint had ap-
parently not been able to eradicate it.
But those at the opera did not know
that the bruise was inflicted in an en-
counter between the basso and William
Thorner, singing teacher, at yester-
day mornings musical at the Bilsmore.
Miss Anna Fitziu was the innocent
cause of all the disturbance. Miss
Fitziu, who was Anna Fitzhugh when
she appeared as a musical comedy star
before she went abroad to return as
an opera singer, WAS one Of the SOLO
lists at the Biltmore yesterday. While
she was singing there chanced to be
some remarks between de Segurola and
Thorner, which were continued at the
/ close of the concert.
Those who heard say that Thorner
! expressed his opinion that if Miss
| Fitziu had chosen a different pro-
| gramme she would have been heard to
greater advantage, whereupon the bassc
turned upon him verbally and asked
him why he was so solicitous about
Miss Fitziu. Thorner replied that he
had taught her, and his opponent re-
1 taliated with the fact that he, too, haC
had part in giving instruction.
Then the fight started. Who struck
| the first blow has not yet been learned
J but it is known that de Segurola came
! forth from the arena with a disfgureG
| forehead. His most pretentious blow
according 10 Mr.. Thorner, had merely
| dented the singing masters shirt.
But last night, just before "La Bo.
heme" began, all was again serene
Thorner, who said Miss Fitziu had
praised him In glowing terms, an
nounced that he and his flstic rival haG
kissed and made up.

London, Nov. 1e.-Frcsh from the

Kitchener in the Near East there Is
growing reason to expect unusual
activity in that section.
Winter weather has set in on the
west front, making impossible any
strong offensive movement. Fight
ing, as shown by the communiQues,
is confined TO local engagements. In
some quarters it Is said that the
big battle of the near future may

Germans are said to be withdrawing
great numbers of men from both
east and west fronts in anticipa-
tion of a new allied offensive.

GIRL BLOCKS ART
DEALERS LANDING
His Niece" or Secretary" Said
To Be Claimed by Angry
Husband in Italy.

Hard-h hearted immigration officials,
unappreciative of the cause of true art,
will give the plans of one of its devo-
tees severe jolt unless Secretary of
Labor Wilson interferes in the case of
Professor Ella Volpi. The professor, a
wealthy art dealer of Florence, arrived
on the Duca degli Abruzzi Wednesday
evening with two original paintings by
Titan, valued at 100000, some other
works of art, and pretty Italian girl,
Lisetta Morosino, who was understood
on shipboard to be his niece.
Volpi and his companion have been
kept at Ellis Island ever since the
boat docked, although their detention
was kept secret until yesterday. IL

terday that the art dealer told the spe-
cial board of inquiry at Ellis Island
that Miss Morosino was his secretary
and did not claim her for niece.
measure up to the standards of sec
retary.
This did not surprise the officials,
they said, because before the Duca degli
Abruzzi reached New York they had re-
ceived information from an angry ltal-
ian husband that the young woman is
the mother OF a six-year-old boy in
Italy. The message, it was said, was
the cause OF the investigation. Volpi
is sixty years old and numbered among
his patrons the late J. p. Morgan. The
board ordered him deported with his
companion.
Dismsyed by the sudden turn in his
Affairs, Volpi appealed TO his business
representatives, the Hudson Forward
ing and Shipping Company, "a state
Street. Through them he obtained
Isidor Finkler as counsel. The lawyer
prepared an appeal to Secretary Will
son, which will be sent this morning.
The paintings and other art treas
ures are still in the Appraisers Stores,
but j. Freidenberg, president of the
Hudson Shipping Company, said yes
terday that this had nothing TO do with
Volpis detention.
Volpi and Miss Morosino will be sent
back on the Duca dcgl Abruzzi on
Wednesday II Secretary Wilson does
not champion them.

The I. W. W. poet, convicted Of the
murder of John G. Morrison, a grocer,

twice appealed for further respite for
