Kansas City, Monday, June
II, 1916 Prime cattle held
steady last week, but everything
below prime declined in price,
common steers selling 30 to so
lower for the wsek, Butcher
grades got a moderate cut, COWS
and bulls holding up because of
scarcity. Stockers and feeders
held about steady, as there was
a good demand from the COUNT
ry, and the yards were well
cleared The supply today is
10000 cattle, and the market
averages fully steady, prime
steers and butcher grades sell
ing stronger, and low grades of
steers, including guarantees of
this class, weak to 10 lower. A.
car load of pulp fed steers sold
at 81 90, a new high figure on
pulp steers, and highest price
paid this year for any steers.
Other pulpers brought $1,000 to
$10,75, and the Western delega-
tion also included some'short fed
steers around 50. Cattle from
the summer feeding section of
Missouri are starting, some of
them bringing $1,000 today.
Prime dry lot corn fed cattle
are scarce, although numerous
lots of steers were good enough
to sell at $1,000 to slO.65. A
train of Arizona steers weighing
1855 lbs. sold at $500, ipclud-

VERNON STILES IS HEARD
Tenor Brought Back by War Gives Re-
ctal in Carnegie Hall

Vernon Stiles, a tenor well known
in the opera houses of Germany, whom
the war has brought back TO his native
land, gave recital yesterday after
noon in Carnegie Hall. Mr.. Stiles is
a man Of fine presence and stature,
with a voice OF power and much nat
ural beauty. Long residence in Ger
many has given 20 it a share Of the
defect peculiar TO most of the modern
German singers-a throatiness Of pro.
duction. with the resultant loss OF
ease in delivery and sensuous charm.
His breath support was unusual. but
his use Of it at times questionable IN
the exaggeration Of phrase. Exag-
geration of dramatic effect and GER
tain sentimentalizing at times also
harmed his singing, yet II is undoubted
that in Mr.. Stiles New York has made
the acquaintance of a new singer OF
fine gifts. -. ,,,
On his programme were Purcells III
Sail upon the Dog-Star' and Mary OF
Allendale," Schumann's "Dichteriiebe,
two songs by Moussorgsky and alas
Liza Lehmann's "Ah, Moon of Ny De-
light" 10 which Mr.. Stiles added as
an encore "Oh, Sing Me Songs of
Araby." A special word of praise
should be given Mr.. Stiles for the IN
usual clarity Of his diction.

SET 'EM UP
FOR MIR. SHAW
True Reason for Defeat of
Charles E. Hughes
in Election
By HAYWOOD BROUN

Nobody understands the human race
better than Bernard Shaw. but half
a hundred writer's know more about
the English. Since Shaw shares none
OF the Englishman's prejudiees he
can't possibly know him. Far sighted
ness is the necessary handicap Of clear
vision. That is probably the reason
why the dramatist writes more intelli-
gently about julius Cesar than about
Sir Edward Grey. 1t may also ex-
plain the fact that Shaw seems thor
oughly at home in the eighteenth CEN
fury court Of Catherine Of Russia and
somewhat at sea in satirizing English
snd German war psychology. All OF
which leads TO the reiteration Of our
belief that Great Catherine" is .
vastly better play than "The Inca OF
Jerusalem"
Shaw can't blame hi, failure TO I'M
dertand the English on lack of early
advantages. He was born Irish. which
gave him a great head-start, but he has
since dawdled. Soccer and sirloins.
beef and beer, ale and athletics, all
these Shaw has neglected. II he has
denationalized himself he has his re-
ward. The world Is his circuit. The
sun never rises on his plays, although
there have been nights whom we
thought it would. But he must pay
the price. When he dies Of an Anamls
superinduced by low protein diet he
will not be buried In Westminster
Abbey.
II is strange that Lord Dunsanv
should have written THE Queens
Enemies" without ever having seen
Nazimova. In world Of imperfect
adjustments nothing may come of it,
but it will be her play in heaven.
This is q piece designed for an actress
capable Of discreet duplicity. The au-
dience must realize from the first that
the little queen Is a sinister figure
in deceiving her associates II the play
is to be plausible.
There may be demand for Q .
o'clock theatre. but one can get to the
Neighborhood Playhouse after 10 and
see "Great Catherine"
"Trifes," the best play on the ex-
cellent bill at the Comedy, Is an in
teresting example of the skilful Gre
alton Of atmosphere. Wisely, Miss
Susan Glaspell has built it up as the
story goes along. Once upon q time
David Belasco produced q very at
mospheric play about Southern Calf
fornia or northern Mexico called "Ths
Rose Of the Rancho" Mr.. Belssco de-
cided to establish the atmosphere
right away and have it done with, and
so, when the curtain went up. some
body tinkled a guitar and then paused
to yawn. There was little more
music and more yawning. So II went
on for FIVE or ten minutes. Finally
there were shores. They came from
the audience.

necessary to convey to the audience q
sense Of chill bleakness in the kitchen
of an abandoned farm. Bit by bit you

PAPI CONDUCTS
MAN0N LESCAUT'
New Leader and Old
Opera Both Score at the
Metropolitan

The third performance OF the Metro
politan Opera season and the frst ltsi-
ian work TO be given thus far took
place last night, when Pueeini's "Manon
Leseaut," with Nine Frances Aida in
the title part, Enrieo Csruso as De'
Grieux and Antonio Scott as Lesesut,
was sung to an overwhelming audience.
A new conductor was also making his
debut in Gennaro Pspi, formerly one o.
the assistant conductors Of the theatre.
"Manon Lescaut" wears well. fully
as we'll as any Of the other Puccini
operas While il lacks the susv!ty, the
delicate feeling. the essentially French
spirit Of Massenet's "Manon,' its spon-
tsneous melody. its passion. its dra-
matte texture make Of IL . work worthy
OF high respect. In IL the young ltsi-
ian composer sahg as youth should
sing. THE Girl Of the Golden West
had not yet arrived, and strange har-
monies and rhythms had troubled no,
his soul. To "Manon Leseaut' We can
20 for refreshment, even though the
orchestrstion may be little crude and
noisy.
Fine Work OF Leaders
Nine. Aida is not, perhaps, the poets
supreme dream of Manon, but she
knows the part and sings twell, though
not emotionally. She was in excellen,
voice last night and her first air IN
the second act she gave very effectively.
Mr.. Caruso as the Italian Des Grieux
was altogether In his element. Freed
from the shackles of a foreign tongue
he revealed in the broad phrases OF
the music and poured forth ms golden
voice with superb opulence. In figure
and bearing he will never be the real
Des Grieux, but when he sings his
music the hsrps OF the angels are MS
only fit accompaniment.
Mr.. Scott was his own inimitablc
self. For real rascally, daredevil
ish villain. opera to-day knows il must
turn to him. This is his eighteenth sea-
son at the Metropolitan. and there Is
no one on the horizon 10 take his place.
He was in excellent voice.
Mr.. Segurola Is always amusing IS
Geronte, but the raison d'etre for Miss
PERMITS presence In the company Is
invisible.
New Conductor Succeeds
A special word should be said for the
conducting of Mr.. Pspi. 1t was elastic.
authoritative and we'll balanced. His
reading Of the score was informed with
passion. but it never passed the bounds
Of good taste. Mr.. Papi is welcome

ductors. This was the cast:
