retains the many features that
In years past have proved attractive
TO tourists. Not the least of these are
Its imperial playhouses and palaces.
Occupying a full square block on the
famous Rlngstrasse in Vienna stands
the Imperial opera house. Two bronze
figures, symbolic of music, adorn the
left and right wings of the building.
These and the ornamental candelahrae
at the entrance were designed by Fritz
Zenitsch.
The opera house, erected in 1861 go,
Is four stories high, with flve front en-
frances and six side ones, built en-
tirely of white stone. 1t is OF vene-
tian style, principally of the Renais-
sance period. with mixture of French
architecture Of the same time.
Directly on the main avenue is n
balcony above the entrance over which
are five arches, each having n statue
of renowned musician. At the ey-
treme sides, slightly higher, are two
imposing bronze figures seated upon
horses.
Scenes depicted from "The Magic
Flute form frescoes in the loggia
The foyer is resplendent in color
scheme OF red and gold. Many heavy
bronze doors lead into the foyer, some
being draped with red plush curtains.
An old marble mantelpiece stands mt
one end, with a carved and gilded
grating.
The ceiling is ornnmented by rare
paintings; ut the sides are busts of
composers. The walls are enriched
with wreaths Of flowers and fruit chls-
eled In stone, making decidedly bril-
liant showing against black marble
background.
The auditorium. one of the finest
anywhere abroad, was finished by
Bitterlich, while the drop curtain used
In gay operas was painted by Lauf-
berger, that for tragic purposes, being
designed by Rail. The imperial box Is
located In the center, with seating
capacity of two dozen persons, for the
royal family and guests of nobility.
1t protrudes slightly beyond the other
loges, and bears the Austrian seal and
flag.
Magnificent Imperial Theater.
The Imperial Theater, on the Lowell
baster section Of the Ringstrasse, is
equally magnificent. The exterior has
statues Of Phaedra, Don Juan, Falstaff
and Hanswurst. The surrounding
inches contain the busts of poets.
A feature OF singular note is the
grand staircase OF 100 steps. Tall
lamps at the base and head illuminate
the wide ascent, and the sides are

tain kind of fish may reach maximum
size in one body Of water. but remain
small in another; how many fish n
body of water may support.
About 1000 fish were tagged two
years ago, but so few were returned
that 1t was thought that the tags
placed on fins were lost. A new tag
to be placed on the gill was therefore
devised. A few scales OF each tagged
fish are preserved because the fish's
age may be determined from the rings
on the scales.
Doctor Pearse has gathered much In
formation In the last Ave years con-
cerning the habitats. foods, habits and
best growing conditions Of fresh-water
fish.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-''If we had

Rear Admiral C. p Plunkett today told
the senate subcommittee investigating ng
the conduct of the war by the navy.
The reason would have been the lack
Of men," Admiral Plunkett said.
THE reason for the lack of men was
none other than Secretary Daniels.
Admiral Plunkett was in charge Of
naval gunnery during the war and es-
tablished the naval railway battery in
France.
81 argued with Secretary Daniels for
two years to provide sufficient person
mel but made no impression on him.
Plunkett said.
in 1915 we woke up to the fact that
we had ships and no way to fight them.
"A fire control board was named.
1T was then we found what was
needed to properly man the guns.
The report almost upset the navy.
"At the request Of Admiral Benson,
chief of operations. 1 went to the secre-
tary to plead for men," Plunkett said
Admiral Benson was unable to do any
thing with the secretary"

The charge is made that packers are
now organizing other corporations TO

through loopholes allowed In the govern

continue to enjoy their special railroad
privileges in direct competition with

GARVIN QUITS
COUNTY RACE
Can Not Run for Chairman Be-
cause of Business, He Says.

Thomas E. Garvin, who announced
some time ago that he was a candidate
for democratic county chairman, with
drew today.
His withdrawal was announced In the
following letter to The Times:
1T is with regret that I wish to an
nounce, through the columns of your
paper, that will be forced to withdraw
as a candidate for democratic county
chairman. For some time | have had
under consideration an unusual business
opportunity which has just recently de-
veloped and it proves to be too great a
temptation to not accept 1t.
MY greatest regret, however, is that
will be required TO be absent from the
city the greater part of the time In con-
nection With this business enterprise
which would OF course not permit me to
accept the chairmanship.
Il regret 1t more especially because ]
feel that this year more than any other
the democratic party has one of the
greatest opportunities since it's organisa-
ton, for victory next fall. because of its
magnificent record both in the CONNER
cial world and on the field Of battle. and
1t is my belief that the men and women
who accomplished this great military feat
will demonstrate in unmistakable terms
that they do not look with favor upon
being mere puppets and having forced
upon them a treaty Of peace that Is not
in accord with their sentiment nor the
purpose for which they made their
sacrifices.
Il believe they wish to send to Wash
ington, as their representatives, men who
will represent the people and not Strategic
political factions, as has been demon
strated recently"
