JER|TzA SINGS 0N DESPITE TELEGRAM
Opera Star Completes Perform
 anCe- e-Brother Dead in Europe

New, York, Jan. 16 (UP)-The in termissions were rather longer than usual at the Metropolitan Opera House last night and a few discern ing mem bers of the audience noticed that Maria Jeritzl, the prima donna, was a bit nervous.
 The Viennese soprano hesitated a bit here and there. but for the most part sang and laughed through her role in the light opera, Der Rosen- kavalier," with her usual abandon. The third act especially is replete with comedy and the audience laughed at Jeritza's actions and ap- plauded her Hitting songs.
 At the close she was called back for 12 curtain calls, and bowed with smile each time. Then she fled to her dressing room. and closed it to all but her maid.
 Just before the performance be- gan Jeritza had received a cablegram telling of the death of a brother in Europe.
 He was my favorite," she told her maid.

 Are we to lose the friendship and | cooperation Of those splendid citl- ] zcns of the provinces and receive in l exchange their enmity, their suspi- cion and their hostility" he asked. | Referring to the subject of equal i opportunity for all, he said: ! "I am impressed with the evidence | of increasing graft and opportuni- i ties for illegal and illicit wealth 1 during these days of prohibition. The i riches of the underworld so flag rantly Haunted before us in our l large cities, and the retirement Of | law enforcement officials, in pos i session of enormous fortunes, can

Senate Approaches Vote

Washington, Jan. 16 With the outcome still in doubt, the sen Cte today approached a vote on the troublesome question Of increasing the tariff on Cuban sugar. A full week had been devoted 10 heated discussion Of the proposition, but, by agreement debate had to end at noon and a vote be taken at that , time.
 The pending question was an amendment by Senator Harrison, democrat, Mississippi under which the present rate Of 1.76 cents pound on the Cuban product would
 be continued. In the event of it's de- , feat. Senator Shoot was ready to ask ! a roll-call on the proposal of the finance committee that the levy be increased to 2.2O cents.
 Two other proposals remained to be disposed of, one that the tariff be increased to 2.40 cents. sponsored by Ransdell and Brou3sard of Louisiana. and the other, system under which the present rate would be retained with the addition of a | governmental bounty to domestic | producers. This was sponsored by ! Howell of Nebraska and Borah of ! Idaho, both members of the inde- ] pendent republican faction.
 Support e.20 Figure Regular republicans supporting ! the 2.20 cent figures, were confident 1 of victory with their ranks swelled
 by defections from the democrats and i independents. But opponents of the ! increase were equally sure that they would win out. On one point, all i were aGrced-that the vote would be ! close.
 A block Of doubtful votes held by
 eastern republican senators, in whose ! states are large refneries drawing
 their raw product from Cuba, was : regarded as a determining factor.
 The decision was expected to have
 some effect upon final voting on the tariff bill as whole, as several op- poncnts of the increased duty had asserted that they would oppose the measure on the final roll call if such
 an increase is incorporated in it.
