Damages Sought
by Madam Cadski
Singer Files Action in Conse.
quence Of Cancelling of
Her Contract.

New York, Feb. GA hall mil.
lion dollar libel suit against the
Chicago Opera company was filed in
federal court today by counsel for
Madame Johanna Gadski, wife oi
Capt. Hans Tausiher. German sub
ject.
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 on the
ground that patrons of grand opera
would refuse to hear her sing be-
cause Of the presence in America OF
her husband, former German army
officer.
Madame Gadski asserts caucella-
ton OF the contract and the attend
ant publication Of false and malic-
ious" reports caused her the loss OF
the stipulated $4,000 and have de
stroycd her earning power, which
heretofore has been very large" so
that she is without employment and
will be made to obtain employment
in her profession. =,
Madame Gadski described herself
as citizen of Germany and resi-
dent Of New York with her daughter
since 1914. Concerning her husband,
she asserted he devoted the period
of his residence in Germany during
the war to the alienation OF suffer
ing among American prisoners and
that he has come here at the invita-
ton of the United States government,
to reveal processes of metal manu-
facture "invented in Germany"

which would tell Of the election OF

when a thin wisp OF smoke came
from the chimney leading from the
Sistine chapel. II was then known
that the Catholic church had once

Canopies Let Down.
As soon as the two-thirds vote Tor
Cardinal Ratti had been verified
Cardinal Vannu,elli, as dean Of the
sacred college, arose and proceeded
to the throne OF the chosen ono, ae-
companied on either side by Csrdi-
mails Logue and Bisleti, respectively
deans OF the cardinal priests and the
cardinal deacons. He was asked III
Latin by Cardinal Vannutell in ac-
cordance with custom if he accepted
the election to be supreme pontiff,
and the new pope answered with the
formal. "Sincc it is the will OF God,
| must obey"
The purple canopies over the
thrones OF the cardinals were let
down, one by one, until only that
over the new pontif remained. This
was done to show that the whole
sacred college rendered obeisance to
the new head of the church. Dean
Vannutelli thereupon asked the new
incumbent what name he chose to
take during his pontihcatc and upon
his reply. "Pius XII" Monsignor Sin

fed his election TO the papal chair.
Escorted to Ante Room.
The new pope was then escorted
to the ante room within the Sistinc
chapel, where he discarded his car
dinal robes, assisted by the conclay
lists and the papal vestments, which
had been held in readiness since the
opening of the conclave, were placed
upon him. These included the white
cassock, white sash, white stockings,
red slippers. a red and gold moz-
zatta and finally the stole of red.
worked with gold.
The pontiff, fully vested with the
papal garb and accompanied by his
cardinals, thereupon returned to the
throne he had occupied in the Sistine
chapel.
There the cardinals, according to
their rank. and headed by Vannutelli,
made their first act of alteration to
his holiness, kissing first his feet and
then his hands, after which the pope
received them in embrace and be.

benediction.

The war is over in Nebraska.
Within few weeks 100000 men

Tor tie new crop. Al winter they
have been looking back on their
troubles, but now the approach OF
spring turns their eyes forward with

the problem is one mainly OF dis

too great a tendency for the farmer
10 raise his crops irrespective OF
TIE market demand and expect them
tc be absorbed at profit to him.
One thinks OF the way the motor
car has cut down the consumption
OF oats and wonders why here in
northeastern Nebraska almost as
much Of this cereal should be raised
as when the towns had many horses
TO feed.
Seek Further Rail Cuts.
There is a mighty sentiment on
all sides for another reduction OF
freight rates. At Norfolk, North
western railroad employees say freight
traffic has picked up Is per cert
since the recent cut, aud that extra
trains are being run, a thing un-
known for more than year. To the
west, in the hay country about New
port, hay is being moved as fast
as cars can be spotted. Country
bankers and every other interest
claim that further rate concessions
would be Of general benefit.
An idea OF the confidence which
pervades the agricultural industry
can be gained from two pure-bred
livestock sales held in Norfolk last
week. Purchases aggregated $1,000,
every cent paid in cash. Three hun
