Libel Suit Started by
Madame Gadski, Ger
man Opera Singer
Claims Cancellation of Con-
tract Has Ruined Her Career
in America-Says Reason is
Because Husband, ex-Ger-
man Army Officer is in
America

New York, Feb. Ga half mil
lion dollar libel suit against the Chi
cago Opera Company was filed in
Federal court today by counsel for
Madame Johanna Gadski, wife OF
Captain Hans Tauscher, a German
subject.
Madame Johanna Gadski, the OPP
era singer. was under contract to
sing with the Chicago Opera Com
pany this season but never appeared
and, according to an announcement
some weeks ago, was paid $500 to
cancel her contract. The contract
was made in Europe last summer
by Mary Garden, general director OF
the company.
Madame Gadski charges that the
opera company, after contracting
with her to sing the role of Isolde
in two Chicago performances OF
Tristan and Isolde" at $500 each
publicly cancelled the contract or
the ground that patrons of Grand
Opera would refuse to hear her sing
because of the presence in America
of her husband, a former German
army officer.
Madame Gadski asserts cancella.
ton of the contract and the attend
ant publications of false and ma.
licious" reports caused her the loss
of the stiplated $4,000 and have de
stroyed her earning power. which
heretofore has been very large, sc
that she Is without employment ano
will be unable to obtain employment,
in her profession"
Plaintiff also alleges that numer.
Gus persons who were negotiating
for her services have broken off such
negotiations since publication OF the
Chicago company's refusal to let hei
appear The contract with the Chi.
cago company was signed last Nov
ember 3.
Madame Gadski described herself
as a citizen of Germany and a resi-
dent of New York, with her daugh'
ter. since 1914. Concerning her hus'
, band. she asserts that he devoted
the entire period Of his residence II
Germany during the wal. to the al
deviation of suffering among Amerl'
; can prisoners and that he has come
here at the invitation of the United
States government. to reveal pro
cesses of metal manufacture in
vented in Germany and hitherto
known only TO them"

THE TREATIES

Washington, Feb. 6--(By the A.
P)-Six completed treaties, two
others agreed to in substance, four
teen resolutions, and ten seperate or
joint declarations Of national policy
comprise the formal and tangible
contribution of the arms conference
negotiations to history.
BY the major agreements of the
conference. the great powers put a
limit on their naval strength in cap
ital ships. abjure submarine warfare
against commerce and use of poison
gas, give China new bill Of rights,
based on territorial integrity and the
open door. and set UP a new inter-
national concord to preserve peace
in the Pacific. In addition, Great
Britain declares her intention to re-
store Wei-Hai-Wei to China, and
Japan hands back Shantung and
promises to withdraw from Siberia
as soon as conditions there are sta
bilized.
These are the six treaties which,
during the IL weeks Of negotiations
here. have been brought to final
completion:
Naval limitation treaty. by
which the United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France and italy
agree to scrap or convert 6S capital
ships, and SO limit future construc-
ton that, after q ten-year building
holiday, their first line naval strength
will remain at $3.50 tons: 525, on
tons: $4,000 tons; 175,OOO tons and
175.OOO tons respectively. The FESTIVE
tonnage Of airplane carriers is lin
tied to 10000 tons each for tho
United States and Great Britain: ST.
900 tons for Japan, and $4,000 tons
each for France and Italy. Individ-
ual capital ships are to be no larger
than 5000 tons and carry no guns
in excess of Ii inches. Aircraft car
riers are limited similarly to 27.OOO
tons and auxiliary craft to 10000
tons. and neither can carry 4 gun
larger than eight inches. A FORTH
cations status quo is set up in the
Pacific, under which the United
States agrees not to further fortify
the Philippines and Guam. and
Japan agrees to observe the same
restriction in Formosa, the Bonins
and the Pescadores.
2-The submarine and poison gas
treaty. to which the same five pow
ers are signatories. By its terms
the powers agree as among them
selves not to use submarines 'as
commerce destroyers." in all cases
to observe the rules of visit and
search, and to regard as a pirate
any submarine commander who vio-
ates existing law. AS among them
selves. they outlaw use of poison gas
altogether.
3-The four power Pacific treaty,
by which the United States. Great
Britain, Japan and France agree to
respect one another's rights i'm re-
lation to their insular possessions in
the Pacific. and to meet In consul
tation whenever those rights are
threatened. The Anglo-Japanese al
lance is automatically abrogated
when the new treaty finally il rat-
fed.

Proposed Marketing Bills Ex-
emptying Farmer Bodies
from Operations of Sherman
Antitrust Law

Washington, Feb. 6.-Proposed pro-
visions Of cooperative marketing
bills now before the senate, exempt
ing farmer organizations from oper-
atoms Of the Sherman ANTITRUST law,
We're attacked in the senate today by
Senator Brandegee, Republican, Con-
necticut, who asserted that congress
was going far astray when it said in
legislation that an act by a farmer is
not a crime, but becomes q crime
when done by a manufacturer.
Mr.. Brandegee declared that the
country need not expect relief from
high prices through passage of the
bill, 'if the farmers who are its bene-
ficiaries choose to inflict high prices"
He added that he believed there was
grave danger of a corner in the food
and clothing supplies Of the country"
if the proposed exemptions are facted
into law.
Mr.. Brandegee told the senate that
che did not take much stock in the
statements that privileges granted
through the bill would not be abused
by the farmers as much as if the
same grants of authority were made
to other classes of people. He said
that human nature had not changed
and he did not believe the farmers
had a higher sense of honor than the
manufacturers or otter business folk
with respect to taking advantage of
legal methods accorded them.
The attack by Mr.. Brandegee came
at the end of days debate on the
bill mostly between lawyer-members
Of the senate, none of whom appeared
to agree with any other as to exact
ly the scope of the bills. The house

predicted would be taken.

MURRETTE .

Set formulas for motion picture pro-
duction were cast to the winds when
Oliver Morosco, noted theatrical pro-
Queer, decided to enter the film field.
Instead of inducing herd of tanned
and cowed cattle into stampede scene
to parade before the camera, Mr. Mo-
rosco had a band of cowboys round
up the most vicious steers that could
be found. Then he got busy with dy-
Mantle and warwhoops and low-fly-
ing plane and the stampede started.
1t was a riot, literally and otherwise.
The scene was shot by the Gamer
man and used for THE Half Breed
the picture for which it had been made
and which is the current First National
attraction at the Murette theatre,
where it will play for two more days.
Mr.. Morosco's initiative was all the
more heretical to experienced pro-
ducers because it was his first attempt
at motion picture producing. Although
some dyed-in-the-wool critics have com.
pared him to the individual rushing in
where angels feared to tread, the ma
jority of critics who have seen 1.-THE
Half Breed" have conceded the STAN
pede scene to be one of the most thrill
ing and hair raising incidents ever pre-
scented on the screen.
