Is Denied.
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, February 13.-Rumor-
ed discord at the Metropolitan Opera
would not down despite official and
explicit denials that Nine. Marie
Jeritza. the Austrian prima donna,
mad any grievance against the italian
tenor, Beniamino Gigli, with whom
she had sung in "Tosca' and finished
In tears two evenings before.
One report was that Jeritza would
never sing with Gigli again." An
other was that her husband, Baron
Leopold Pepper. grandson of Mathilde
Marchesi would be privileged ito es-
cort her to the stage" and remain In
the wings while she sang.
The Metropolitan management said
that Jeritza and Gig!i will sing to-
Sether next season"
Gatti-Casazza said the JeritZa-Gigli
reports were nonsense" The MEM
Der of the opera company said that
it was understood two kilograms,
bearing the general purport of the
published story, had been sent to
Baron Pepper and to Mn Gigli.
Replies Half-Humorous.
Both messages brought replies In
half-humorous. yet half rious vein.
The baron spoke briefly of misunder-
standings, saying everybody would be
more happy If he said nothing.
Giglfs secretary replied. regarding
the climax of tears In this week S
''Tosca," that Mr.. Gigli did not Of
fend Nine. Jeritza. She speaks Ger
man. He speaks Italian. He asked
her to take the curtain call. She did
not understand"
The audience on Tuesday saw Jerit-
Ia. weeping, gently urged out on the
stage for an added curtain call, after
posedly ended, leaving the public still
clamoring for the star of the company,
who is soon departing for her own
Spring concert tour.

SERIOUSLY BURNED.
Miss Evelyn Merrill Trapped by
FLAMES in Garage Office.

FLAMES IN GaraSe OInce.
Miss Evelyn Merrill was seriously
burned Saturday afternoon, in fire
which Quilted the Office of the Frank
lin Street Garage, owned by her
father, A. N Merrill. About
o'clock, A. N. Dority, who is agent
for the Overland car and has an Of
flee at the garage. started fire in
the Merrill office, kindling it with
gasoline from an oil can. Flames
caught in the can and ran up MIR.
Doritys arm. He rushed to the door
and threw the flaming can into the
street. Turning, he found the room
full of fire, forming an impossible
barrier.
Miss Merrill, bookkeeper at the
garage, who is handicapped by lame
ness resulting from infantile paraly-
sis, was trapped in the office by the
sudden burst of flames. Fernando
LeBlond, an employee of the garage,
who was in the office when the fire
started, tried to drag Miss Merrill
over the high railing that separated
the desk enclosure from the en-
trance, but, having only one hand, he
was unable to do so, and the flames
drove him from the room. Miss Mer-
rill then climbed to the shelf at the
show window, and Mr.. Dority, break
ing out the window dragged her
through to the sidewalk with her
clothes blazing. She was hurried to
the Hurley hospital, where she re-
ceived prompt attention. She was
badly burned about the head, chest
and shoulders. No complications
have arisen, and it is now believed
she will recover. She is reported to-
day as slightly improved, though she
passed an uncomfortable night. Mr..
Dority and Mr.. LeBlond received
minor burns.
The firemen demonstrated their
efficiency again. No one thought of
timing them, but it is believed that
the flames were conquered within M
teen minutes from the time the call
came in. A fire in garage is a
serious matter, with gasoline and OIL
present in such large quantities. the
firemen realized this, and fought fast
and furiously, keeping the flames al
most wholly within the garage once:
Everything in the office suffered
from the flames. A $1,000 cash
register was ruined, also a type
writer, adding machine, new once
furniture and smaller personal prop
erty. Osman Merrill lost about
$500 worth of radio equipment,
which he has promptly replaced with
a rush order of goods. Car tenders
wheels, etc., stored above the office,
were spoiled. The total damage is
estimated at over $4,000. All OF the
property was insured. Mr.. Merrill
nlans to rebuild the office as soon as
possible.

pected western special, THE Pony

rected for Paramount, with bril-
liant cast of several Thousand play
ers, headed by Betty Compson, Rio
ardo Cortez, Ernest Terrence and
Wallace Berry, will be shown at the
Dirigo Christmas and Saturday.
There will be a special matinee

This mighty frontier cinemaster-
piece gives Cruze the unique distinc-
tion of producing the only photoplay
that seriously threatens the suprem-
acy heretofore maintained by his
first great epic, "The Covered
Wagon" There is much these two
classics have in common.
1.-THE Pony Express" is powerful
story combining historical fact with
the element of romance that charac-
terized the West Of pioneer days
But although its climax Is as
tremendous, and it's ending as
emotional and beautiful as that OF
"The Covered Wagon" its love
theme is more appealing, its back
ground more fascinating, and its
dramatic episodes more startling
more thrilling and more colorful.
Besides the heroic achievements Of
the Pony Express, the production
wildly and authenticity depicts ths
violent yet picturesque life OF tnt
primitive West. OF the many his
torical characters who are portrayed
particular interest attaches to tn
Youthful Mark Twain, the stripping
Buffalo Bill and the famous Mormon
leader, Brigham Young.-Advt.
