AGAINST CHAL|AP|N
Chicago Opera Company Pc
titions to Prevent Appear
ance Here January rs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associa ted Press.
F. CHICAGO, January 1.-The Chicago
Civic Opea Company yesterday filed
a petition asking that Feodor Chalia-
pin, noted operate star, be enjoined
from making any public appearances
In Washington, D. c., prior to Febru-
ary 10, 1925. The company asks es-
pecially that he be denied the right
to appear in Faust" in Washington
January 26.
According to the petition this would
be a violation of the baritone's con-
tract with the company and also
would tend to greatly reduce the
ticket sale to the opera Boris Goudo-
norff," in which Chaliapin agreed to
appear in the Capital February TO-
Chaliapin's contract, the petition
states, provides for appearances in
80 operas here this winter and a road
trip of ten weeks following the Chi
cago season. He would be paid $4,000
for each appearance.

 Many long distance flights during the past few years, including one from Barcelona to Naples and one from Brindisi to Constantinople, con- Ninced De Pinedo that the hydro plane was best suited In point Of economy and lack of dependence on supply bases for long trips.

Correspondence OF The star and the Chicago

TOXIC, June Livery effort has
Takata x Co, which, for all the years
of Japan's forward movement into the
ranks of world trade. has been re-
garded as one of the four or five great
houses of the Far East
The male members Of the old firm
and the widow of it's founder have
made many propositions to the Credi-
tors which the creditors have refused
steadily to accept, until now definite
announcement is made that the last
really valuable assets. the foreign
agencies. have withdrawn and estab
ished agencies of their own. The Ia
kata failure has been a blow. Fool
fSh finance is written all through the
record said one Of the main credi-
tors, and the creditors are to blame.
DepOsitOrs Dissatisfied
Others are not so charitable as TO
speak of the finance as mildly or SUI
premely foolish. The depositors In
the Eiraku Bank are not yet satisfied
and insist that they should be paid
by Takata out Of the assets of the
firm before the Takata directors and
their property are freed from RESPONSE

so. without payment of any money
whatsoever, goods consigned to Ia

many were taken out and sold for

II Is largely on account of later de-
velopments that the creditors and
principals of great concerns abroad
represented in this country for years
hy Takatas have refused all proposi-
tiOnS for the reOrganizati ton OF the firm
under the firm name.
Failure Shook Confidence.
This failure Of a firm which has en-
ioyed government patronage for the
last TWO or three decades. together
with a few others. has shaken conf
dence more. perhaps. than anything
that has happened for years. And
now. a $ might have been expected
come new crops of rumor and some

spokenness of some of the Japanese
newspapers when dealing with the
reputation of business is astonishing
Indeed. it is shocking to the man who
has lived inside the newspapers of the
west.
Since the Takata smash at least
three big houses. including one for
eign firm. have been written off as
hankrupts by leading japanese news
papers And the wonder Of it is that
nothing happens beyond a mild denial
or demur from the heads of the firm
in question. AS one English written
newspaper puts it. they deny the
truth" and then. of course we ex-
pect to find out that notwithstanding
the denials the truth does prevail So
we are now awaiting further devel-
