man-killing brutes, and the way he could make them eat out of his hand, half an hour after being formally introduced to them, was sight worth going miles to see. He always had immense crowds at his ex- hibitions, and it seemed that his future was assured. But one day he was loafiing around a livery stable, just because he liked the atmosphere of the place, and an old, weary hack horse reached out long, crooked limb, handed him one with it, and broke his leg.
 "He had to go to a hospital for a while, and when he came out, his oc- cupation was gone. He was as good a horse breaker as ever but people wouldn't pay their hard-earned money to see the exploits of conquering hero who had been manhandled by an old hack horse. You must admit that there was some sardonic intelligence back of such joke as that. If the man had been hooked by COW, or run over by traction engine, or chewed up by an honest watchdog, it wouldn't have hurt his renown and prestige. But, no! A blamed old relic of horse had to put him out of business.
 "A long time ago, a very important case was tried In an Irish court The people were greatly wrought up over 1t, and tie courtroom was crowded. When it Was announced that the jury was ready with a verdict, the judge addressed. the audience, saying he knetr there was much feeling over the case but tbe hall of justice was no place Tor a display of it, and if there was least sign of disturbance when the verdict was made known, the gull ty parties would be arrested.
 'The jury brought in its verdict, and tho people heard it fin silence, but just then whole doggone gallery, with about thousand people in it, came crashing down, and the noise could have been heard forty miles out at sea. After the judges solemn warning against disturbance, the fall of that gallery has always seemed to me like painful joke.
 "A long time ago, I was called upon to address a crowd of voters on the living issues of the day, and I framed up a speech that would have been credit to any orator. I swiped it from Roscoe Conkling, and I have always insisted that he was one of the great est of American speakers. The house was full of refined and cultured peo- pie, and I was determined to make the hit of my life. I was just getting warmed up to my work, when the lights went out, and the hall was plunged in black darkness. There's nothing makes a man feel more idiotic than to have the lights shut off at such time. The women in the audi ence were gigglng. and the men haw- having. 1t seemed funny to everybody but me.
 q thought I knew where the little table was, that held the pitcher of ice water, and I moved toward it, and fell over a chair, and flattened my nose against the edge of piece of scenery When the lights were flashed on again, as suddenly as they went out, the audience behdd the silver tongued orator on his hands and knees, climbing slowly to his feet, and trying to mold his nose into its origi- nal shape.
 q never saw such a delirious crowd in my life. Some of the women laughed themselves into mysteries, and the fool men weren't much better They never heard the balance of that oratlon, and the last part was the best"

AIliteration.

Alliteration occurs sometimes in the writings of the ancients, but not, it is supposed, designedly. as they regard blemish Cicero, in the "Otfices," has this phrase: "Sensim sine sensu aetas senescit;" and Virgil in the "Ae- neid," has many marked alliterations. William Mathews.

NATIVE NEWSPAPER MAKES AN ATTEMPT TO DISCREDIT JUDGE THOMAS IN HIS
 OFFICIAL CAPACITY

tive BrOtnernOOu, William l.. fali, secretary, contained the following Because all citizens are touched by the law, we shall print from time to time matter related thereto.
 "Sec.240S. That when the defendant is brought before magistrate upon an arrest, either with or without war rant, on charge of having com mitted a crime, the magistrate must immediately inform him of the charge against him and of his right to the aid of counsel before any other proceedings are had.
 ''Sec. 2409. That he must all low the defendant a reasonable time to send for counsel, and adjourn the examination for that purpose; and may upon the request of the defendant, re- quire a peace officer to take message to such counsel in the precinct, town, or village as the defendant may name. The off, cer, when required by the mag istrate, must take the message without delay.
 Some one should call the at
 tention of Judge Thomas at Wrangell to this point for he has held repeatedly that the prisoner was not entitled to the
 benefit of this clause, or post ponement while the prisoner secured an attorney. The last case coming to our attention was that of US. ys. Charles Jones, wife, and Jim Adams. In this case the commissioner refused a delay of 24 hours altho he knew that counsel was coming by special boat. In addi- tion to this injustice, this com missioner compelled Adams to testify against himself.'
 Upon having his attention called te the foregoing paragraphs, Judge Thomas stated that the records will show that in the case of the United States vs. Charles Jones, Su- sic Jones, and Jim Adams, the defen- dants were charged with a misde. meanor; that they plead not guilty and were given jury trial al which they were represented by Louis F. Paul as counsel. Continu ing, Judge Thomas said -
 "The statement that as US. Com missioner I ever compelled Jin Adams or any one else to testify against himself is absurd in the ex treme.
 Let Mr Paul prove his charge that I compelled Jim Adams to tes tify against himself by the following twelve citizens who composed tht jury that tried this case

 Regarding MT.

He said that there had neYe been case brought before hin where the person accused of crim was not duly informed of his right t time to send for counsel and hay witnesses subpoenaed in his own be half.

Collecting Data From Huge
Mass of CompIaints-Formal
Opening Waits on Reed.

Return from abroad of Senator
Reed, Pennsylvania, about April
will mark the opening of an in
quisitorial investigation of the
Veterans Bureau by a special Sem
ate committee.
Some sensational disclosures are
promised along lines of inefficiency,
waste and extravaganza, neglect
and Entertainment of veterans, and
bad management--all of which has
been charged against the bureau
in House and Senate and by the
American Legion. Just how far
and to what extent the charges
will be sustained by the facts de.
veloped is problematic.
With the acceptance by Maj. Gen.
J. j. Organ, of New York, of the
job of legal advisor to the COM
mittee the work of sorting evil
dence in hand has started. It will
take General Organ fully three
weeks to complete this work, it is
stated, because of the mass OF
complaints turned into the commit
tee from various sources including
Senators and Congressman.
Lines OF inquiry will be laid by
General Organ during his study
which will be followed out and
supplemented by the committee as
facts are developed and new leads
uncovered.
The investigation is expected to
be thorough and to run through
several months, but the committee
is to make it's report to the Senate
at the opening of the next Con-
gress early in December.

.MME. JERITzA
CAPT|vATES
AUDIENCE
Viennese Prima Donna Lives
Up to Reputation Of Power
and Personality.
Rv WILLIAM MOORE.

| A flaxen-haired, pink-and-Wh1te
bit of femininity in a pale blue
crepe dress twitched nervously as
her eyes swept the vast audience
that waited with hushed expectancy.
It was Maria Jeritza's debut in
washington, and her second APP
pearance on the American concert
stage. On Tuesday she took Balti-
more by storm. Would she dupli-
cate the triumph here, before one
of the most critical audiences in
the country? This was the ques-
+jon that forced its way uppermost
in the minds Of the auditors, as
walter Gold, the accompanist,
tuned up
the piano.
"Divinites du Styx-" the singer
began. The audience settled back
in the seats, a subtle sixth sense
whispering that here was q real
genius.
Nine. Jeritza, in short, scored a
complete triumph in her recital yes
ter1ay afternoon at the National
Theater.
The little Viennese prima donna,
whose work with the Metropolitan
Opera Company in New York has
earned for her a worldwide reputa-
tion. has a voice of pure gold, plus
y rsonality and beauty-a combina-
ton exceedingly rare.
The opening number, 'Divinites
du Styx," from Gluck's "Alceste,"
was given with slight trace OF
nervousness, but this was soon
overcome as the singer really
warmed to her work.
Two songs by Brahms, "Dein
Blaues Auge" and ''Nicht mehr zu
Dir gu gehen," tested her ability as
an interpreter. Her diction was
perfect, her quality of tone was
gentle and her shading was clear
cut in it's delicate perfection.
Korngold's technical Song or the
Lutte" was followed by "Seit dem
Dein Aug in Mefnes Schaute," by
Richard Strauss. Following Schu-
mann's 'Widmung," Nine. Jeritza
gave as encores Joseph Marks
"Japanese Rain Song" and "Elsa's
Dream" from "Lohengrin.
The French and English group
came after the intermission. Henri
Duparc's "Le Manor de Rosa
monde" was forcibly executed. In
Debussy's Beau Soir." the tonal
value of words was brought out.
Mrs. II. II. A. Beach's song, All,
Love. but a Dav." and r. Hunting
don Terry's 1.-THE Answer" pre-
coded the 'Suicidio" aria from LA
Gioconda," by Ponchielli.
In response to the shouted de-
mands of the audience, Nine. Jeritza
sang the "Vissi d'arte" aria from
"'Tosca."
Mime. Jeritza was assisted by
william Wolski, violinist, who plays
with technical skill. His rendition
Of Paganinfs I'D major Concerto"
was well received by the audience.
