Bullet Ends Dash of
Staggers-Crazed Horse

A saddle horse owned by George
Kohn, a clothier, of Al West Eighty
sixth Street, was stricken with blind
staggers while standing in it's stall at
the Durland Riding Academy, 5 West
Sixty sixth Street, last night and ran
from the Academy stables west through
Sixty-sixth Street to Columbus Ave
nue., where he collided with a motor
truck owned by Ignatz Wohl, of 544
Eighth Avenue, Astoria, L. i.
After running against the truck the
horse reared on its hind legs and
brought it's forefeet down with terrific
force on the hood of the machine. The
driver applied the brakes and jumped
to avoid injury.
The horse broke one of its forelegs
in kicking the truck and fell to the
street. After consulting the veterinar-
ans of the riding academy, Patrolman
Edward Schaible. Of the West Sixty
sixth Street station, shot the horse to
end it's suffering. The tracks of the
surface car line were blocked for half
an hour.

Disturbance Of the Peace
Next, failing there, there is city
ordinance which is leveled at disturb
ance of the peace. The selling of these
papers on the streets, in my judgme ent,
does constitute a disturbance of the
peace, and If you are unable to secure
successful prosecutions under the state
statute the cases may be brought in
the city court and / will instruct my
assistants to try the cases on the
theory that disturbance Of the peace
has been had.
Il have IN mind constitutional and
statutory provisions as to freedom of
speech and freedom of press That
does not in any wise, in my judgment,
alter the situation. Under that shield
no person is permitted to violate the
law against defamation and criminal
libel.
ut is hardly conceivable that any
one could even hesitate as to the pro-
priety of stopping the defamation Of
good citizens
Ihe publication, as | understand it,
is intended to reflect upon whole
class of people. If the statute means
anything it means that just such a
publication as this should be sup
pressed, and those who violate the pro
visions of the same should be pun
ished."

OPERA SINGER. AWAITED WITH
 KEEN DELIGHT

Margaret Matzenauer, great prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera Com pany, whose phenomenal voice and marvellous vocal adap ability defy classification and have placed her in a. position unique in the musical world comes by her great gifts most logically, as her father was director of the Royal Theater orchestra. and her mother a singer in the opera house of the small town in Hungary where she was born.
 With this combination of inlhe rited musical talent, + is small wonder that at twenty Margaret Matzenauer made her operatc debut as Strassburg as Puck in Oberon. Three years later she received a call to the Court The ater in Munich, a signal honor. Fof

seven years the leading contralto at the Wagner Festivals in Prince Re- genten Theater in Munich, and during that time guest singer in the leading cities of Europe, she came to America at the request of the Metropolitan Opera Company, making her debut here in 1911 as "Amneris' in Aida and having been re-engaged for every season since.
 It is a matter of general knowledge and universal admiration that though first engaged for contralto roles only, such was the triumph she scored at her hurried assumption of the soprano role-Kundry-in "Parsifar' on New Years day-1912-that she has since been identified With such interpreta- lions of the soprano genre. as Brun- hide, so1de, Kundry, Venus and Ff- delio as well the contralto and 1nezzo roles of Orpheus, Amneris, Brangaene, Ortrud, Delilah, Azucena. etc.
 Madame Matzenauer's latest proof of vocal versatility and role ''prepar- edness'h was her recent appearances as Carmen when she stepped in at a moments notice and gave a most ar tistic interpretation of the much in terpreted Spanish cigarette-girl.

 Windsor avenue, especially the first block, is also in need of attention The first block of this street is poor ly lighted, has no sidewalks, and now the roadway has suddenly gone bad, so that people who live on the upper part of the street, where the roadway is better and the sidewalks are laid, must wade through mud in the dark in order to reach their homes at the end of the day.
