interesting experiences at the opera

While in Paris, Mr.. Tchernikoff

that opera. with Mystale in the title
role. Washington will hear Mary
Gardens Interpretation of that oper-
attic heroine in February. He also
heard "Boheme," 'Manon" and "Wer.
ther' in Paris.
At the opera house of Paris, Olga
Spessivetzeva danced in her ballet,
"Soir de Fete," arousing much admi-
ration, and Mr.. Tchernikoff writes of
going three times to see a miniature
group of Russians in week of ballets
at the Exposition in Paris.
In Venice, in the garden Of the Pa
lazZo Popodopile. Mr.. Tchernikoff
saw a performance by a group of
Diaghleff's disciples. lie also writes
of having secured some new ballets in
Paris that are interesting musi-
cally and choregraphically. One is
"L'Amour Sorciere," by Manuel de

compositions are receiving high praise
in every group of progressive musi-
clans. Another new ballet is Les

Frequently I have been urged to

the dismissal of four or five men who
were born abroad. and who. in addi-
ton to being excellent musicians. have
been faithful to me and my band. ]
do not feel that the boast Of an all
American band ever would be worth
the injustice OF dismissal to these
men. 1t would be as narrow and
snobbish to dismiss them as it would
to exclude all but American music
from my programs, another thing l

Owner Of Car Is Asked
for Light; Youth Is
Jailed.

Recognizing his own automobile as
15-year-old youth stopped him on
San Saba Street and asked for
match, George Waggoner. an employe
of the Liberty Mills. Thursday night
proved to be the stumbling block for
San Antonio's most youthful automo-
bile theft gang.
Earlier in the evening Waggoner
had loaned his machine to a friend, at
tending a dance at the Elk's Club.
The youth had stolen it from where
it was parked near the club building.
Waggoner was walking home when
the youth drew up to the curb in front
of confectionery. he bought Gig
arettes and returned to the automo-
bile, as the owner stood in front.
wondering if his machine was as
faithful us dogs which are reputed to
be able to return home by instinct.
Give me a match, mister" the
youth asked.
How'll you trade the car for one"
the owner suggested.
Are you craZy!" the boy asked.
"No, but you're trading just the
same" he was told by the man.
Waggoner turned the youth over to
Police Captain Green.
He in turn delivered the youth to
Detectives Carver and Runke for in
vestigation.
The youth readily admitted his
guilt. In addition to the Waggoner
machine the boy confessed having
stolen six other automobiles.
I'VE strip 'em," he said naively.
who's WEI" Detective Ruhnke
asked.
The youth finally implicated anoth-
or boy of the same age. His arrest
is expected Thursday.
Officers are seeking other persons,
probably older, believed TO be impli-
Gated in the theft ring.

Searching for a tool dropped by a,

Andrew Zapata, 81 Vera Cruz street,
his life.
With the pit in which he searched
filled with damp lint cotton, Zapata
is believed TO have been electrOcuted
when the cord to an extension electric
light developed a short circuit. The
thumb and fore-finger of his right
hand were virtually burned away,
giving rise to the theory of electrocu-
ton.
Zapata told ]. o. Clark, with whom
he had been working at the mill. that
he was going home. However, he
must have decided to search the pit
once more for the valuable instru-
ment dropped by Clark earlier in the
day.
When his wife became worried over
his failure to arrive home she con-
municated with friend of the family,
