to- have been left to Mr.. Meader to aid
him in diferentiating his character
from that OF Guglielmo.
But the Metropolitan patrons are
much more concerned with Mozarts
music, Mr.. Urbans pretty pictures and
the farcical element in the play than
they are with the matter essence Of
Da Ponies book. At the first per
formance Dorabella forgot to carry
her lovers miniature about her neck.
Consequently she could not exchange
it for the trinket which Guglielmo
gave her for it, and Fernando few into
rage without visible evidence of
justification. That oversight was cor
rected yesterday.
The scene of feigned suicide by
poison is burlesqued TO such an extent
as to make the conduct of the ladies
inconceivably stupid. 1t is another
illustration of our oft-repeated com
plant that the stage management Of
the Metropolitan being devoid Of
imagination attributes the same vac
from quart bottles bearing labels
foot long ornamentcd with skull and
cross bones and acting as if collie were
gripping their bellies would never re
ceive such sympathy as Mozart's music
expresses even if the women were as
blind AS bats in the daytime.
Music Overshadows Faults Of Action
But it is the music which wins par.
don for every fault of the action and
the mise-en-scene. There is one chord
in the terzettino in which the ladies
and Don Alfonzo wave farewell to the
supposedly departing lovers, which
illustrates how beautifully dissonance
may be employed, more eloquently than
all the pages of music which have been
written since disharmony came into
fashion. For one measure it floats
over the murmuring muted violins,
which delineate the breezes which the
women pray shall watt their lovers
safely over the waters and dies awav
IN sweet conconance on the word de
sir" There's one effect which
Cassella, Pizzetti Malepiero, and the
rest of their tribe might study with
profit.
Yesterdays performance was a great
improvement on that Of Friday week,
Whllc its most perfect musical fca-
ture was the lovely legato and perfect
phrasing Of Miss Bori, its least cmcc-
tive was caused by the lack Of power
IN the same lady's voice in the con-
certed numbers.

given her higher place in the opinion
OF the Metropolitan patrons.

Barred From Dying Woman's
Bedside, Clergyman Declares

DR.. Campbell said. 1t was his opinion,
he said, that Mrs. Knapp was not com
petent mentally when she died
The Rev. Mr.. Davis admitted that it
was the lack of written order from
the woman's son which had prevented
him from entering the hospital. When
he asked for one. he added, Mrs
knapp's son referred him to his attor-
ney. The clergyman said he was not
accustomed to such formalities in
making calls on dying parishioners and
did not see the attorney.
lis it not an outrage" he demanded
'in civilized community. in the
twentieth century, that an institution
maintained from public funds can ex-
lst to which a son can send his mother
without due process of law and have
her practically incarccrated, her pastor
and other friends denied access to her
except on written order of that son =?
Is it not an outrage that a Clergyman
should be denied access to dying
parishioner and the patient be allowed
to die deprived of the comforts of her

to the so-called accusations, alleged
conviction, and confession Of Mrs
Gould"
Mr.. Rogers said that in this respect
Mrs. Gould had been sustained by JUS
tice Newburger, who had "unquali-
fiedly denied the motion Of Mr.. Gould's
attorneys"
In commenting further upon the case
OF Mrs. Gould, who is contesting in the
courts here the validity Of the French
decree granted her husband, Mr.. Rogers
called attention to the difference in in
quisitorial power of the French and
American police.
"In Paris" he said, "thcre is no safe
guard around the individual and con
fession may be exacted by fraud force
or duress. Besides the Paris police re-
port, which is relied on, does not even
rise to the dignity of a written confes-
sion. 1t is merely report of police
officer whose standing corresponds with
that Of one of our detective sergeants
or lieutcnants of police. Therefore, it
was successfully urged in the courts
here that this testimony would not be
admissible against Mrs. Gould in this
COuntrv."

The Rev. J. o. Davis, rector Of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church, in Ossining.
n. Y, gave out statement yesterday
expressing his Indignation at being
refused admission to Grasslands Hos
pital, a Westchester County institution,
when he called 10 visit Mrs Isabel
Knapp, one Of his parishoners who
was dying there. He otficiated Friday
at funeral services for Mrs. Knapp.
DR., II. W. Campbell, Of Grasslands
Hospital, which is in Valhalla. admitted
that the Clergyman had been barred
when he came to see Mrs. Knapp. The
latters son, the physician said was
paying the bills at the hospital and
had given orders that no one should see
his mother without a written order
from him.
The clergyman did not have such an
order. His assertion that the hospital
had refused spiritual consolation to
Mrs. Knapp when she was dying was
denied by Dr. Campbell. Two clergy
men visited the institution regularly

Mr.. Babson explained the situation.

history has spent itself. Fundamental
conditions finally indicate that a solid
foundation is ready for general and
substantial business Improvement.
THE white line that ! draw today
divides the area OF depression in half
Statistically Il means we are at the
exact bottom Of the cycle. Practically
IL means that business will pick M
this fall and that It should continue
to improve for the next two or three
years.
Technically, the business cycle Is
composed of the four succeeding cycles
of prosperity, decline. depression, and
Improvement, but the average bust
ness man experiences but two condi
tions. Either sales are increasing and
business ia fine or they are falling of
and he ia in deep depression. His at
titude changes, not an we pass from 9
period OF prosperity above the y
line into a period OF depression below
