and Baccolini grappled after dis
cussion of Schurman's demand OF
cash for the chorus.
Baccolini was arrested after he
had directed one act OF the delayed
opera! 4I5s
Half the chorus walked out in
sympathy with Schurman.
Clara .Jaeebo. singing the lead,
collapsed after seeing Baccolini di-
recting the first act with a detec-
tive on eitifer side of him.
Many of the audience demanded
their money back because' OF the
delay.
Orchestra Finishes Show
Inasmuch as the Chorus Union
is an Independent organization, not
affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. the orchestra was
not affected by the row. and played
the opera out.
Baccolini charged that Schur
mans visit was unexpected and the
epithet. 'bugiardo. the Italian
equivalent of liar was heard IN
the sacred grove of the druids be-
fore the fight. Baccolini claimed
that Schurman was injured in fall
ing against a metal waste can. He
said the chorus had been paid by
a check for $500 each night, but
Schurman wanted cash.

France to meet her debt to the

poaedly economic facts" that
Treasury officials declare are Ell
tireIy without foundation.
Indicative of the trend OF the
institutes report is one excerp,
which says:
Contrary to the general impress
sion, the French people are bei1lg
taxed and are paying taxes fully
as heavily as the people of Great
Britain and very much more
country. If is IL idle to expect

These statements are fatty con
tradicted by the results of thu
Treasury's own exhaustive survey
of French finance and economic
conditions generally, which thu

the negotiations with the CailIauX
mission.
Treasury Figures
On the question of taxation
alone, for instance, the Treasury
only a few days ago issued figure
disclosing that the French people
are being taxed considerably less
than either the Brltish or Anneriean
people, and that for the second
time in fifty years France now "

vorable balance of trade.
One Treasury official, comment
ing on the taxation aspect of the
debts problem, stated that if
France would raise her tax rate
to Britain's and apply the differ
ence to amortizing her debt to the
United States, the entire debt could
be cleared off without undue incon
venience to French industry or
