Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire
New York, Aug. 28.-Upon wl1os'

say musical people, to argue that
his like will ever be seen again
Among the most popular candi-
dates is John Mccormack, records
or whose voice are 10 -be found in
more homes on this continent than
those of any other living singer. Nc
Cormack is 81. and at his very best.
Mario Chamlee, who is only 50,
is of the Caruso type When he
made his American debut last No
veinber at the metropolitan opera
the critics went into ecstacies over
his voice. He was born in Los An
geles, of an Italian father and an
American mother.
Other contenders for the crown OF
Caruso are Giovanni Martinelli. who
made his debut II years ago and has
appeared in ,every important city in
the world.
Benjamin Gigli, whose unquestion-
ed talent has been recognized in Eu-
rope and South America, has his eye
en- the goal and has admirers in this
country.
Edward Johnson. the brillian.
Canadian tenor, is climbing swiftly.
Orville Harold, native of Indiana,
Paul Althouse and Kingston, are
men to bear in mind. while Europe

rived at Pierce, Mackay is said tc
have informed Bahr and the two

Bahr is now awaiting trial in the dis
trict court on a murder charge.
Bahr makes no denial Of killing
Steifel.
"He broke up my home and
killed him." is his only explanation.
Bahr has lived with the Santee
Indians for many years. He married
a full-blood girl from the tribe and
although he has felt the sting of the
white mans aninosity to squawmen,
he respected his Indian wife. He ac-
companied her to the surrounding
towns and made it plain IN public
that he wished it known that the ma
tive woman at his side was his wife.
Neighbors say, however. that his
pride was often hurt By treatment
he received, at the hands OF some Of
the whites. When his two daughters
grew to womanhood, they were well
educated and Bahr had planned that
they should marry white men. Mac
kay's suit was rejected. Up to the
night Bahr walked up to Steifel and
fred the two fatal shots, he had
never. seen his victim face-to-facc.
