CHAL|AP|N BREAKS
WITH CH|CACOANS
Row Over Appearance in
Opera Here Seen One Cause
of Singers Decision.

Feodor Cha'iapin, Russian artist
who Will sing a leading role in the
performance of Rossini's opera The
Barber of Seville" by the Washing
ton Opera Company on Easter Mon
day. April 13, is not expected to sing
with the Chicago Opera Company
next season.
This word has just been received
from New York. where, in a state
ment made by 1. Hurok. manager for
Mr.. Chaliapin for several seasons
suggestion was made that certain
differences with the Chicago Opera
management" brought about this
severance of relations. 1t is men
toned that one of the differences
may have been inspired by Mr..
Cha'iapin's singing in Faust" in
Washington January % with the
local company.
Every one interested in music in
the Capital recalls the fact that a
veritable operatic cyclone ragged in
Washington for period of two
by the Chicago forces to secure an
injunction against Mr., Chaliapin's
appearance in Faust" The attempt
however, was frustrated and the
singer gave an excellent performance
here.
VIII BE Here Next Season.
Friends OF MI. Chaliapin in Wash
ington state that 1t is their opinion
that the singer did not desire to re-
new his Chicago Opera Company con-
tracts, as he is planning more ap-
pearances with the Metropolitan
Opera Company in New York next
season and also has been completing
arrangements to take an opera COM
pany of his own on tour next year.
He has arranged to make several
appearances in Washington during
the season l925-26 and will have his
usual concert engagements on tour.
Mr. Chaliapins appearance in the
Rossini work will be his fourth ap-
pearance in this city this year Fol-
lowing his recital in. October came
his appearance in Faust" in January
and in Boris Godonouv' in Febru-
ary He has expressed keen interest
in the work of the Washington Opera
Co, and he is q great favorite with
Washington audiences. He has three
more appearances this season sched-
uled for New York. all in the Metro
politan Opera House, where he will
sing Boris Godonouv' April 8, give
recital April IL and sing Faust"
April Is.
Edouard Albion. director of the
Washington Opera CO.. states that at
a conference in New York last week
Mr.. Gatti-Cazazza and his assistant
manager, Mr.. Zeigler. informed rep
resentatives of the local company that
the Washington Opera Co. was con-
sidered by them as being of first rank
among operatic organizations and
that whenever dates did not conflict
with their own performances the
Metropolitan would gladly lend their
artists for guest appearances" with
Mr.. Albion's company.

MOBILE HOSPITAL ASKED.
Illinois Storm Experience Leads to
Demand

CHICAGO, March 3O.-Privs tions
experienced by volunteer nurses and
physicians who recently went to aid
the hundreds of injured in the south
ern Illinois tornado area have led to
preparation of bill to be submitted
to the Illinois Legislature tomorrow
to set aside $4,000 for equipping a
State hospital on wheels.
Representative r. NJ. Mitchell of
Chicago will ask the sum to outfit a
railroad coach to be fitted with mod
ern hospital conveniences and to pro-
vide quarters for disaster relief work
ers. 1t is estimated the coach, to be
kept at Springfield, could reach any
point in Illinois within five or six

WEEKS TO ASK BIDS
FOR SHOALS POWER
Alabama Plant to Be Pro-
ducing by July POLICY
Is Temporary One.

Bids for the purchase OF hydro-elec-
trio power developed by the Wilson
Dam at Muscle Shoals Ala, will be
invited by Secretary Weeks.
Estimates given the War Secretary
by Army aeineers reveal that the
Wilson d = will begin development
bout Jul ! of 100000 horsepower
da lily.
The decision to sell the power was
made because Of the failure of Con-
development through legislation COW
ering that phase of the Alabs ma prof.
ect.
Only Temporary Plan.
In the present situation. II was said.
the most practical solution Of the
power question was to make the will
son Dam product available to power
users pending final determination of
the question by Congress. This plan
has been contemplated by Army en-
gineers, with a view of starting power
developments at the dam without de-
lay and at the same time provide a
market for the product.
1t is the intention OF Secretary
Weeks to entes into contracts. revok-
able by the Government on 30 days
who offer the Government the best
return on its investment
Army engineers do not expect to
secure high rates for the power TO be
sold. since the purchasers are required
TO base their contracts on brief time
periods and cannot themselves enter
into long time contracts with con-
sumers
Nnst Construct Lines
II is pointed out also that the com
panies interested in power distribu-
tion VIII probably be faced with
heavy expenditures in the construc-
tion of transmission lines over which
the power can be carried from Muscle
Shoals to the consumers in the States
adjoining
Army engineers recognize also that
the power companies may hesitate to
construct at their own expense these
transmission lines because of the
brief interval during which the power
may be available to them under the
terms of the contracts contemplated.

Richmond is only $3.50 per dav and
that there are many men N Balti-
more and Philadelphia who are anN-
ious to get work. No attempt VIII

unanimously decided that they would
consolidate all their forces and
2DSOlu1etN Stdnu HTln against the
pending increase even if it might
bring about a strike in the trades now
demanding higher wages.
Seek to Avoid Strike.
The sentiment of the committee
seemed to be that the situation is an
anxious one. but according to Mr..
Galliher every means will be taken
to avoid any strikes, providing that
il does not mean a change in the
present wage contracts with the
union Mr.. Galliher said that it made
no difference to him whether a man
carried a union card or not, he would
be employed at the standard wages
of today.
Arthur T. Smith of the Master Build
ers' Association told the committee that
his organization stood with them. Mr.
Galliher and b. F. Saul both supported
a resolution which stated that no builder
would be given contracts if he submitted
to any wage increases.
The committee will further take steps
to arrange its program to cope with
the situation. Those who were present
at the meeting this morning were Will
liam T Galliher, chairman B. F. Saul,
Herbert T. Shannon, John A. Petty,
