ABORN PLAYERS REPEAT
BEAUTIFUL NEW OPERA

The third performance by the Aborn
Opera Company of Wolf-Ferraris
beautiful new opera, The Jewels of
the Madonna" brought together a
gathering of music lovers that filled
the National Theater last night.
The part of Gennaro, the black
smith who steals the jewels, was
again splendidly rendered by Saliva
tore Giordano, and that of Maliella,
the coquctte. for whom he steals
them, was bewitchingly acted and ex-
quisitely sung by Blanca Saroya.
Louis DAngelo sang Rafaele. The
musical beauties of the score aroused
an enthusiasm which would indicate
that the patrons of the company
would appreciate a greater number of
performances of this comparative
novelty.
This afternoon the company will
give III Trovatore" again, and in the
evening La Boheme" will be~repeated.

NEW YORK LETTER

tFrom Our Regular correspondent.)l
lTHE unintended but fortunate dis.
closure Of General Funston's en-:
phatic Recommendation that Gen.
eral Pershing's command be with.
drawn from Mexico has revealed an.
other important phase OF the Mexi.
can situation which the administra.
ton had earnestly sought TO suppress.
Since April II, General Pershing's
command has been kept in Mexico,
In constant danger from attack, not
permitted to advance, without rein.
%forcenient, to the injury OF its health
and morale. because-President WI.
son could not make up his mind, eth.
err to continue the pursuit Of Villa
or to withdraw. In the effort TO shift
responsibility for any military disas.
ter which might occur Mr.. Wilson and
Secretary Baker have persistently
avoided asking the military authori-
ties for their opinion, but they mad.
vertently asked General Funston for
his views in connection with the pro.
posed Mexican conference and the
courageous little Kansan, without re.
gard to how unwelcome' his words
would be to Mr.. Wilson, came back
with a flat.footed recommendation that
the troops be withdrawn from Mexi.
can soil. The administration tried
vainly to suppress the fact that Funs.
ton had made this Recommendation,
but 1t leaked out and knowing Funs.
ton they do not dare deny 1t. SPersh
ing. 1t will be remembered was or
dered into Mexico to break up the
Villa band OF bandits" Mr.. Wilson
said ito get Villa"-following the raid
on Columbus, on March s. The punt.
tive expedition was brilliantly led and
had nearly captured Villa In the Sier.
ra Madre range when, on April IL,
the Carranza forces at Parral treach.
erously attacked the American troops,
killing and wounding several. The
Wilson administration Immediately be.
came panic stricken, ordered the pur.
suit abandoned and a "watchful wait.
ing" policy adopted by American
troops in enemy country. In great
danger and at great expense, the Per.
shing line into Mexico has been main.
tanned ever since, although II he was
not to 60 forward he had no reason
for being there and should have been
ordered back. Pershing IA then 500
miles below the border. Finally, he
was secretly ordered to withdraw to
Namiquipa, $50 miles below the Dor.
der. The retreat Of the American
soldiers emboldened the C%arranzistas
again to attack them, at Carrizal, on
June 81, where two officers and a mum.
Der of troopers were killed. Are.
doodo Carranza's Ambassador, inform.
ed President Wilson that the Carran.
"a soldiers fired by order of "the First
Chief" Again the administration be.
came panic.stricken and Pershing was
secretly ordered to retreat to Col.
onia Dublan, 100 miles below the Dor.
der. As every military man knows,
although few dare say It. Pershing
has been kept there. for no reason
whatever save that Mr.. Wilson has
been unable to make up his mind and
because he has feared popular criti.
cism on the one hand, IL he appeared
to yield to Carranza's demand that
the American troops be withdrawn,
and on the other, loss Of the belief
Of some Of the uniformed voters, that
"he has kept us out Of war"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. a.
The grand jury investigation of alleg-
ed frauds committed at the juno pri.
marysin Mcdowell and Mingo counties
Will be started at Blueield today.
While the Department of Justice sane
lions the investigation, and has desig-
mated D. e. French to assist District
Attorney w. G. Barnhart with 1t, It
is the understanding in official circles
here that Senator Chiffon is the Or
iginator, and IL that be the case, then
il appears to the observers here mat
It Is 10 be anything else except an I'M
partial Investigation to enforce exact
Justice on any wrong doors VINO ma,
be found, It matters not whether they
brokeft the laws in behalf Of Democrat
IL or Republican candidates. The
main purpose, 1t is believed, is to trip
up charges against Republicans, IN
dict some Of them II possible, and let
them remain in the shadow OF suspi.
cions until after election, as no trial Is
expected or desired prior to that day.
The idea seems to be to do something

votes from that party for the Demo-
cratic candidates. Privately 1t is whis.
