JERITZA. FAILING TO RECEIVE
LEGION OF HONOR, QUITS OPERA
Soprano Resents Decoration
of "0ffiCer of Public Instruc-
ton" From France.
Metropolitan Star BIameS,
Vienna Director for Not En-
phaSizing Her Eminence.

VIENNA, May % (p).-Because she
did not receive a coveted decoration,
Maria Jeritza, soprano of the Metro
politan Opera Company. has decided to
resign from the Vienna State Opera
and to return to the Austrian govern
ment her title Of honorary singer TO
the imperial court"
Nine. Jeritza thinks that she should
have received the legion of honor from
the French government. The French
instead offered her and three other
woman singers the decoration OF
officer of public instruction" JeritZa
felt that this was not sufficient tribute
TO her ability and not commensurate
with her honor and dignity.
She blamed the director OF the Vten-
ma Opera for her failure to receive the
decoration she desired when the opera
company appeared In Paris. She claim
cd he failed to emphasize adequately
70 the French authorities what she con-
sidered to be the eminence Of her posi-
ton.
The title of honorary singer was con-
ferred upon her when the HapSburgs
were In power In Austria by the En-
peror Franz josef. She was the last
singer to be so recognized.
Nine. Jeritza's decision caused sem
sation In Austria, since she has been
one of the stars Of the Vienna Opera
for years II was expected, however.
that before leaving Vienna she would
appear In the new Richard Strauss
opera, Helen Of Egypt"

 Capt Lathrop's credentials showing him to have been elect ed in the April primary did not reach Kansas City until after the convention was concluded. The National Committee did not meet after they were received.

STRINGENCY OF FUEL
 REASON DURRAN COULD
 NOT CHANGE ITINERARY

The reason given by the British Ambassador to the United States for the inability of II. M. S.

George A. Parks.
 An excerpt from the letter writ ten by the British Ambassador to the Secretary of State said: up. on inquiry of the Commander ir Chief of the American and West Indian Station as to whether 1t would be possible to alter the itinerary of the Durban to permit attendance at Juneau on July 4th, Sir Walter Cowan has replied that he very much regrets that 1t will not be possible to accede to this request owing to stringency of fuel"

 As the fighters enter the ring tonight each will be instructed that when any boxer is knocked down, the other man in the ring must retire at once to the farthest neutral corner.

New talent was added to the American Legion's fight card for tonight when three boxers were obtained from the cutter Sno- homish now in port. Billy Lynch, 150, and Buddy Donegan, 147, shipmates, will be seen in action. and a little brown brother sailor, Villubes will meet local Filipino named Lubeck.
 These boys are featherweights and both are said to be clever with their dukes.
 Krauklis in Shape Although Wade Krauklis was substituted for Butler against Collier in the main event but two weeks ago, he is apparently in fine form. He arrived from Ketchikan yesterday evening, trained down from IFS to 164 pounds. He seems as hard as nails and is confident he can beat the local boy. Anyway, he is in the mood to give Collier a battle and the fans can look for ward to action as long as the scrap goes.
 Collier quit heavy training the first of the week. He is in as good shape now as ever in his career. And the boy is determin- ed to win as it would put him back on the road to the heavy weight title in the Territory. It is a six round fight, each three minutes.
 Eldred and Brady are both in good physical condition. They come together in the semi-final event which is creating almost as much interest as the main l bout. Eldred seemed to be a slight favorite this afternoon all though Brady's supporters would not concede him any edge. Brady is in slightly better shape as he has trained longer and if the fight goes the full five rounds he might have an advantage there.
 The preliminaries are said to be of better than the ordinary run of mine scraps and should furnish plenty of entertainment. | Referee Sole Arbiter

The property now being opened is still in the prospecting stage, ana considerable additional develop ment work will be necessary be. fore it's future as a mine can be definitely determined.

GOOD PROSPECT
 AT HARKRADER
 COAL PROPERTY
Development W ork Pro- gressing Under Good
 Management

B. D. Stewart, Territorial Min ing Engineer. returned on Satur day night from a twelve-day trip to various mining properties in this vicinity. Most of the time was spent by Mr. Stewart at the Harkrader Coal Mine on Kanalku Bay on Admiralty Island, where he made thorough examination of the mine and the surrounding country.
 Good Progress
 "They are making great prog ress with the work at the Hark rader Mine, considering the small crew which they have working a present. The surface arrange ments are so far advanced tha' they can now go ahead rapidly with the underground work. The have an efficient tipple whict will handle promptly all coa mined for some time, and prac tically the only thing left to dc is to bring in water to sprinkle the coal before sorting MT. Stew art said.
 "The slope, or incline shaft which follows the coal bed down ward. is down 275 feet, out oi which coal is being hauled. On that slope three crosscuts, or lat eral tunnels, on the coal seam have been started at intervals oi 60 feet on the angle of the slope They plan to continue two cross cuts to the west until a favorable point is reached 10 drive out a second slope to the surface. This second slope will probably be used eventually as the main out. let for the mine. In the mean. time ii will be used as an air course to yentilate the workings The present slope is also being driven deeper. All of these pre- liminary development workings will yield coal for marketing as the work progresses.
 About 1S0 feet of the slope was sunk by George Harkrader in the original development of the mine. At the point where MT Harkrader stopped work, the coa seam was subjected to local dis turbance. The work done by the company now operating, has dem onstrated that this disturbance was purely local, as their develop ment work has carried then through it, and they have nov reached a section that is mucl less disturbed. The structure O the seam shows continued i'm provement as the work has deep ened," MT. Stewart declared.
 Two Benches of Coal
 "The coal seam occurs in twt benches separated from one an other, as is commonly the cast in coal beds, by a seam of clay The upper bench averages abou two feet in thickness and the low CT bench three feet. The pres ence of the clay seam is favorable for cheap mining for the reaso' that it enables the miners to pic. the clay out, leaving an opel space between the benches. Tn coal can then be pried out il large Jumps. or broken with tn use of a minimum amount of eS plosiyes. On the whole, cond tions at Harkrader are very fay orable to low mining costs.
 Extent of Mine
