Opera
Faust" Sung in Metropoli-
tan, "Cavalleria Rusticana''
and "Pagliacci' in Lex
ington Avenue

Both the Metropolitan Opera House
and the Lexington Theatre held hugo
audiences last night. In the Broadway
house Faust" was the opera, and in
the Lexington Avenue one "Cavalleria
Rusticana" and "Pagliacci."
A new Mephistopheles made his APP
pearance in the Gounod opera in Clar-
ence Whitehill. Dramatically Mr..
Whitehill's impersonation was the most
interesting one New York has seen in
many years. 1t was no conventional
operate impersonation, but figure
aristocratic, intellectual, sinister, quite
transcending the limits set by Gounod
and becoming character such as
Goethe himself intended. 1t placed Mr..
Whitehill on plane with the great
acting singers Of the Metropolitan ira
dition.
Miss Rosa Raisa was the Santuzza
in the Lexington, and an admirable ono.
Her native force was as ever superb
and the primitive type of the character
vas fitted to her personality Miss
Fitziu was the Media of the Leonco-
vallo work, and once more displayed
her luscious tones to fine advantage,
Miss Raisa and Miss Fitziu lowered
head and shoulders above the other
artists.

Bolshevik Steam Roller

fractional clashes of spirited nature

Tended representatives of organizations

Even the anarchistic delegation became
angered at one stage Of the proceedings
and declared itself in no uncertain
terms.

Irotzky, or whether in an effort to
emulate the Bolshevik methods now
quite the thing in Petrograd and adj
Jacent territory, those delegates who
profess that political faith began early
IN the day to conduct the convention in
their own way, the result of which was
a storm of protest from the minority
and, finally, complete resignation on
the part of the offended.
Bolsheviki Rule Endorsed
A resolution congratulating the Boil
sheviki government for it's success in
the revolution was the frebrand. 1t
was fostered by the majority and OPP
posed bitterly by Kolchin, Broginsky
and Chinoy, Of the Menshevik faction.
kolchln insisted that the Russian peo-
pie and not the government should be
SO honored.
But the resolution passed, neverthe-
less. 1t read as follows:

greets revolutionary Russia in the per-
sons of the Peoples Commissions and
the Council Of Workers, Soldiers and
Peasants"
- The resolution will be cabled to
Petrograd.
The second upheaval Of the day came
when the anarchists made charges of
fraud against the Bolsheviki, asserting
that the majority wished to gain alb
solute costrol of the body and prevent
the minority from having a voice in the
proceedings. 1t followed the introduce
ton of :. resolution by A. Weinstein
calling for. the creation of a commits
sion whose duty it would be to draw
resolutions.
The Bolshevik element insisted that
eleven members should be voted for

When the anarchists presented them

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Ruma-
man army may attempt to force its
way through Siberia to Vladvostok in
the event of its present position be-
coming untenable. The suggestion is
made in a letter received form Ruma-
Man journalist at the front, in which
he says:
What we have suffered this winter
is terrible. The regiment has had 1900
dead from exanthematic typhus, and
VIC are still losing an enormous num-
her of men. We are considering the
question of evacuation. We shall 20 to
Vladivostok if it is necessary. We are
prepared to be arrested in Siberia, but
We shall accept neither peace nor ca

Der by the Rumanian government is
absolutely unchanged. despite the grav-
lty Of the situation in Moldavia."

anarchists saw their hope for repre-
sentation gone glimmering, in view
OF the overwhelming opposing vote.
The Mensheviki also made fiery
speeches.
Finally one of the anarchists insist
ed that the commission be appointive,
and that the Bolsheviki have FIVE rep
resentatives, the anarchists three, the
Mensheviki one. the Workers one and
the Citizens party one.
Here an adroit move by the Bolshe-
wiki resulted in the motion being lost,
and the commission subsequently ap-
pointed contained the name of one
Mensheviki and no anarchists. Ten
Bolsheviki were chosen.
There also was division and violent
debating when the convention was

Longshoremen's Head Cites
Attempted Walkout ON
Cunard Dock as Proof
Says Strike Is Illegal
Southern Pacific Strikers Have
Violated Agreement,
He Declares

r. Y. OConnor, international presi-
dent Of the Longshoremen's Union. last
night charged that alien enemies were
working along the waterfront trying to
tic up ocean shipping and prevent the
sending of supplies to the American
troops in France. AS specific proof he
cited an abortive strike on the Cunard
wharf yesterday morning.
THE men were threatening to so out
in sympathy with the men who are
Illegally and improperly on strike on
the Southern Pacific piers,"' he said.
"Joe Ryan. representing the union. was
doing his best to keep them at work.
"'For Gods sake. boys. think what
you are doing he pleaded. Don't
you know you are tying up supplies
for the men in France?'
Men Returned to Work
"'To - with the men in France
replied big Austrian who was in
sisting that the men should quit. He
had his way, but they went back to
work later in the morning. The man
is a member. / am sorry to say, of
Local 7s3. l am arranging now to
lay the full facts before the Secret
Service people and have that fellow
interned."
The incident on the Cunard docks
was but one of many in an exciting
day along the waterfront, during which
the 900 strikers on the Southern Pa
citic piers resisted the efforts of O'Con-
nor and others of their national lead
ers to induce them to return to work,
and refused the plea of Chairman
Bass of the national adjustment board
and Captain Baker, of the quartermas-
ter's department, to leave any griev-
ance they may have to the adjustment
board for settlement.
This refusal was followed by an init
nation from Washington that further
disturbances, and particularly any in
reference with transatlantic shipping,
would be met by the use of troops if
necessary.
Mr.. O'Connor would not discuss this
last night. He insisted, however, that
the situation is in hand and that the
strike will not be allowed to spread.
Il do not believe" he said. chat the
strike will spread beyond the Southern
amicable adjustment in the next day or
so. Tomorrow may tell the full story.
Say Workers are in the Wrong
"The men are absolutely in the
wrong in this instance. Not only are
they bound by the findings of the board
to which they submitted their demands,
but by their formal acceptance of the
awards of the board They are under
contract, and they must abide by it,
The strike was illegally called and
must be stopped. That is all there is
TO it,"
Were alien enemies at the bottom
OF this strike?" he was asked.
mo, l cannot say that they were. r
cannot say at this time who was, but it
was not German influence.
= There is. however, any amount of
German and Austrian influence at work
along, the waterfront trying to stir up
trouble"
The demand of the Southern Pacific
strikers is that they be paid the same
rate of wages as is paid men employed
on Transatlantic vessels.
