INTEREST GROWS IN
 ATLANTA FESTIVAL
Other Great Artists Make Up for Inability of Caruso to Be
 Heard This Season

Atlanta, March 19.-(Special )-Despite the definite announcement received this week from New York to the effect that CaruSo could not appear in Atlanta this season to fulfill his annual engagement with the Metropolitan Opera company, interest in the approaching week of mu- sic and song has not Jagged in the least, and the keenest anticipation is every where felt in the coming of the new tenors, Gigi, Crimi and Harold, who will ably fill Caruso's place
 Telegrams received from officials of the Metropolitan Opera company state that there is no possibility of Caruso' 5 returning to Atlanta this season. and that even were he sufficiently improved in health to make the trip, which is his desire, his physicians would not permit of his doing so. A telegram from Caruso himself expressed the deepest regret and disappointment at his inability to visit Atlanta and sing for his thousands of friends throughout the south this season But he confidently expects to be present another season and in firmer voice than ever.
 Naturally, there are none of his many admirers who would want the great tenor to risk permanent injury to his voice by a premature appearance even though his physical condition were i'm proved sufficiently for him to make the trip.
 Benjamne GigIi. called the sensation of the past New York season, will sing the same part in Andrea Chenier' which was to have been sung by Caruso. In commenting upon Giglfs appearance in this opera at the Metropolitan Opera house last Monday night, the New York Herald said: &
 Mir. Gigl continued to Justify the pre- diction made here after his debut that he would always be- heard, with pleasure He is one of the best singers who have come to the Metropolitan in recent years. His beautiful voice Is used with art, taste and moderation. He does not belong to the inglorious company of shouters. This is probably due to the fact that he knows how to sing mezzo voce. His art is essentially lyric, and possesses an Individual charm. He sang the music of "Chenier'' admirably, and the audience received his offering with enthusiastic. accla ma ton
 The sale of season tickets Is now ia full swing. and out-of-town orders are still pouring in. The sections set aside for out-of-town patrons are filling up rapidly, and 1t is we'll not to wait top long to reserve seats. Address orders with check enclosed to 6. B. Bidwell treasurer.

FORMER SERGEANT CLAIMS. MAJORS DEATH ACCIDENT


 Washington. March 1s.-All witnesses before an army board, which investi- gated the death of Major Cronkhite at Camp Lewis. Wash. in October. 1918, and for which Roland K. Pothier, a former sergeant, was held at Providence, R. l., today. according to department of justice officials. testified that the major died accidentally by his own hand.
 The army board found the death to have been due to revolver wound acci- dentally self-inflicted. but later ln- vestigation by the department of Justice, undertaken at the request of the family, resulted in statement by Pothier that while he and the major were at revolver practice his (Pothier's) revolver was ac- cidentally discharged and fatally wound ed the major
 Officials said other witnesses would now be examined, but declined to indi- cate whether other arrests were con templated.

PUBLICITY MAN FOR
 BAND CONCERT HERE
Marines Representative Talks to
 Legion Members

M. Jones, a personal representative of the U. s. Marine. band, which is to give a double concert in this city Sunday, October Is, was at the meet ing of the Eddy-Glover post, Ameri- can Legion, last night, and explained to the members assembled, the various ways and means of making the af- fair a success.
 Commander Harry c. Jackson said that it had been asked him if Fox S theater, was not too small to have a band. He asked Mir. Jones, who re piled that the band members were all musicians and that they always took the size of the place to be played in, into consideration before beginning. Mr. Jones added that the Marine band has often played in the Pink Room of the White House at Washington, D. C., and that this room was not as large as Fox's theater.
 It was impressed on the members the importance of securing the band in this city. One of the points ad- vanced was the fact that it was the highest paid military banl in the world, and considered the best band ir the world. It was this band organ ization which was led by John Philip Sousa, according to MT. Jones. This band is forced to practice two hours a day for five days in the week besides the regular concert work. It was further stated that all encores would he popular music.

corrected that it was he who paid Greenberg $25, the payment being. on a monthly lease of S1OO. He also stat ed that Greenberg held the key to a sub-cellar in which the booze was found and that his only access was through a rear entrance. Bills were introduced showing that merchandise was sold in the name of Jonas and Cremo beer de- livered in that name. No bills were made out to Greenberg since April, bookkeeper John Mccarthy testified.
 Sergeant Hart told of his conference with Jonas during the raid. Jonas told the policeman that Greenberg paid him $25 a week and that he also kept the key to the cellar in which the liquor was found, according to testimony. Po- liceman Thomas Feeney corroborated the testimony offered by the sergeant.
 In arguing that his client be dis charged, Attorney Sexton alleged that there is an ulterior motive back of the entire case. He pointed out that the states witnesses had shown Jonas to be the proprietor and the bills introduced substantiated this theory.
 Rendering his decision, Juige filling admitted that the state Il .L rroved own- ership of the building but no connection with the business at least subsequent to April 14. The alcohol in the cellar. he said, might belong to the chief o1 place as far as the court could deter n:iuc
