prise to Atlantans who had been led to believe it was rather a dull and uninter- esting work, and it is difficult to under stand why the Metropolitan, usually in search of new operas or old ones which may be revived, has not long ago maze La Juive' a part of it's repertoire.
 Nothing that Caruso ever has sung here before has so sounded the depths of the soul; and nothing could demon- strate more decisively that in such roles as those of his later years-Eleazar Samson and John Leyden in 'Le Prophet there is a Caruso far greater than the rollicking tenor of T'Elisir d'Amore, e care-free Duke of 'Rigoletto, or even broken hearted Canio of 'Pagliacci and his sob song. There may arise new idol with a golden throat-but not for many year will there develop another Eleazar.

The various opportunities of, fered people to hear good music greatly contribute to advance the cause of musical education, as the Italian people have the best of these opportunities.

Hotel Man Gave n. y. :
Police Inspector $1,000

NEW YORK. May 11-Ferdinand Del
enne, a former hotel proprietor test
fed today at the trial OF Police inspeS-
tor Dominick Henry. charged with ne,
gect Of duty IN eonneetiSn wtth alessa Sisl
trict," that he had paid Henry $1,000
for helping him to obtain q ten-year e1-
tension on a building lease:.s
morning session, which was occupied
principally with testimony Of detectives
called by Assistant District Attorney
James E. Smith concerning CONVICTIONS
Of women they had arrested in Henrys
district.
Asked by Mr.. Smith II he had not
given Henry the thousand dollars Tor
projection" Delenne replied hotly:
II never gave Inspector Henry money
for protection. He never would nave
accepted the money for protection. he
was too honorable a man.
Mr.. Smith then asked him If month
later one Of Henry's men had not ar
rested u woman in his hotel. Delenne
replied he did not know who Nom aad 10 mace see
Henry the next Sunday. He also ad-
mitted that Henry twice visited his
home at Hollis. Long Island. once ac-
companied by his wife. -.
lenne said he became acquainted with
Henry when the inspector visited his
restaurant several times, and that sub
sequently he visited Henry When ne
contemplated purchasing, the hotel. He
said he abandoned the idea Of buying
the place after Henry told him 1t had
bad reputation.
Under cross-examination Delenne said
he later decided to take advantage OF
IL receivers sale. and bought the hotel
at marked reduction. Subsequently
the lease extension was stolen from the
hotel safe. he said. and this led him
to visit Henry to learn whether he
could assist him in having the lease
extension renewed. Other trouble In
connection with the lease developed lat
er, the witness said, and when ne con.
suited Henry again the inspector offered
TO return the $1,000 he had given him.
Delenne said he declined the INSPECTOR 9
proffer because Of the trouble he had
put him to.
