Although Baklan-
off escaped punish
ment year ago and
was allowed to so on
with the opera season, 1t was thought
doubtful-in view of his confessed
capacity for many loves and his utter
disregard OF all moral conventions
whether he would ever be allowed to
return to this country. q
Only the other day, however, there
came word that the United States i'm
migration officials have decided to
wise the passport which will permit
him to land in this country.
In view of Mile. Amazars revelations
concerning Baklanoff and what he himself
has said about his love habits he lie GER
tain to be looked over and questioned
very carefully when he reaches New YORK.
Should he attempt to bring with him
Mile. Amazar or some other fascinating
charmer. who is not his wife, 1t Is quite
likely that he will be refused admission.
Then Mary Garden will be forced to look
about for some baritone who finds It pos
sibIe to develop his artistic emotions WIN
out defying the nations laws.
As Mile Amazar made quite plain in-
what she had to say in her fare OF rage
last year, such conduct as Baklanof has
been guilty OF is said to be not unusual On
the contrary. It is so common that she DE
clared grand opera should be called the
land of easy lives and easy loves"
my case is a sad one," she said "but
grand opera seethes with such cases. 1t
happens only that mine has seeped
through the veil that separates grand
opena from the outer world Every prima
donna has been broken.hearted-not once,
but many times.
"It cannot be otherwise when the man
singer is almost never seeking perma
nent mate. He has one wife this season
and another the next-and usually with
out any recourse to the law or the church,
No one Is surprised at this. No one IN
this lawless sworld OF unreality expects
anything else.
"The moment a wife or sweetheart
turns her back the mans eyes, in fine
frenzy, roll about in search Of an object
O, his Hirtatious fancy. II may be a
chorus girl or 1t may be one Of the ballet
maids 1t matters not whom-it is the
nearest. To the man in grand opera pro-
pinquity is opportunity.
Love in grand opera is too easy A
man has the opportunity to meet too many
women. The women have the chance to
meet too many men. They may be settled
and would remain nicely domesticated II
they could have only the occasional ac-
quaintances made by persons In ordinary
life. But every performance may mean a
new temptation. Every new season n
score of them. SO their temptations are
multiplied"
The troubles OF Baklanoff and Mile.
Amazar added fresh fuel to the flames Of
dissension in the company. Some of the
singers sympathized heartily with the lit
tle soprano while others thought that she
had done a stupid and unkind thing in
telling her story to the authorities and
having the baritone hailed into court.

Twenty States To Oppose Rail Rate
Regulation.

Nineteen States will join with Wisconsin
in challenging before the Supreme Court
the right Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to regulate State railroad rates
under the Transportation act, 1t was an
nounced after a two-day conference in
Washington of Attorney Generals of IL
States.
The States which have decided to inter-
vene in the Wisconsin case are New York,
North Carolina. South Carolina. Florida.
Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, Michigan. Iowa, Kan
sas, Missouri, Louisiana. South Dakota.
Nebraska, Texas, Montana. Utah, Nevada
and Arizona.
In formal statement the Attorney
Generals issued statement saying it was
their duty to protect their peoples in the
enjoyment of those rights and powers
which were reserved to each State under
the Federal Constitution. 1t was added
that the Transportation act was "destruc-
tive to our dual form of government and
contrary to the spirit Of our institutions"
1t has always been constitutional right
of the people of the several States to con-
troll purely State traffic. the Attorney
Generals said. adding that this principle
had been upheld by John Marshall and
uniformly admitted by all courts up to
this time.
The provision of the Transportation act
that the Interstate Commerce Commission
fix return without regard to the value
of service rendered is mot only econom-
ically unsound. but it is violative of fun
damental law" the statement declared.
