one of the six principals with Amelita
Galli-Curci and Giacomo Rimini in
the cast. The following day in all Chi
cago papers the critics commended her
work most highly.
During the Chicago opera season
Miss Maxwell sang in "Dinorah'' sew
eral times and also in "AIanon,' "The
Jewels of the Madonna" "BhlIme,"
francesca di Rimini" and Louise"
each time delighting the audience with
the unusual beauty and range of her
lyric soprano voice.
Nine. Galli-Curci is most enthusiasts
tic in her praise of "the (Americaine
Mees) Maxwelps superb voice."
At the close of the Chicago season,
no one was surprised to find Miss Max
well among those chosen for the East
ern tour of the Chicago Grand Opera
company. The recognition given her
in the East was no less than she re-
ceived in her home city. The New York
Morning Telegraph used large pic
ture of her with an interesting feature
story the morning after her first APP
pearance and the Evening Mail, in a
Saturday edition, published her photo
graph in group with Geraldine Far
rar; Ricardo Stracciari and Gordon
Key.
Miss Maxwell is pleasing, whole
hearted American girl. All her spare
minutes she spends in knitting and at
present she says one of her great am
billions is to go to France and sing for
the wounded soldiers.

third night of the Chautauqua here,

Miss Maxwell made her debut with
the Chicago Opera company this fall

WOUND
PROVES FATAL

j. A. Samuelson, or "Al" Sam
uelson, as he was generally known,
died at $3.50 this morning in the
mine operators hospital. He shot
himself with intent to commit sui
eide at noon on Thursday. He died
without giving any clear reason for
his act. At different times he
said his act had been foolish, that
he was lonesome when he did 1t.
that he had been unable to sleep
and that If he had met a friend
that morning and been able to go
to the springs with him he would
not have shot himself.
Samuelson was 81 years Of age
and was born in Sweden, where his
mother is living. He came to this
country in 1906 and was naturaliz-
ed on Sept. 81 of this year. Having
been in the saloon business here
for many years, he vas widely
known and had many friends.

the tank men, all Of whom were

DESTROY
ALLIED SHIPS
IN ARGENTINA
Movement Is Started to Have Port
of Buenos Aires Boy
cotted
LABORERS HAVE
GAINED GREAT POWER
German Agents Cause Bomb Ex-
plosion and Collisions and
Delay Loading
RITENOS AIRES N,

BUENOS, AIRES, Nov. is. -
Continued bomb outrages, fires
and collisions for the destruction
of allied shipping in Buenos Aires
have resulted in a movement be-
ing set on foot here to have the
allied governments refrain from
sending ships to the port of Bue-
nos Aires until steps are taken to
prevent this destruction by Ger
m~an-paid agents, according to
well-informed men in allied ship
ping circles of this city.
Orders sent to German agents
to organize explosions on board
ships which were sailing to enemy
lands and to provoke delays and
confusion in the loading, sailing
and unloading of these ships, have
been carried out efficiently in Bue-
nos Aires. The confusion and de-
lay is attributed by allied shipping
men to the federation of marine
laborers. The power behind the
recent bomb explosions and fires
on board allied ships either while
in Buenos Aires or just after de-
parting has not yet been identified.
Shipping men have almost de-
SPARED of combating the fedora
ton of marine laborers. 1t is as
serted that it dictates to employ
ers who shall load, unload, scale,
paint, drydock and attend to the
hundred and one necessities of a
ship in port. The employers are
powerless to refuse to allow a
doubtful person aboard the ships
for fear of an instant and general
strike, as has occurred on more
than one occasion in which employ
ers attempted to keep suspicious
characters away from allied YES
sells.
Allied shipping men believe the
power of this federation could be
broken by a boycott which would
prevent allied vessels from touch
ing at the port of Buenos Aires,
as it is believed the Argentine gov
eminent would realize then the. ne
cessity for dealing firmly with this
organization.
