So even if there are gunwor- en who are employed by the unions why talk about it and not say any thing at ail about the gangsters who beat up the union men? Why is it worse for one side to usc violence than the other? Granting, which I don’t, ithat there are gunwomen, I would like to ask that question.” 4 R # FINE SINGERS AT THE LYCEUM| !

The an- nual spring tour of the Boston Opera Singers is looked upon in the cities usually visited as the “mustcal events of the scason,” and rightfully so, be- cause the high artistic excellence of the programs presented is not only a matter of intense enjoyment to the avdiences, but also a matier of pride to the'company itself. This season the management has exerted every effort to maintain the high standard estab- lished on previous tours, and -calls attention to some of the features cer- tain to be of interest to patrons of high class musical attractions. The company includes such well-es.- ! tablished favorites as Maria De Gabbi, soprano; Giovanni Gatti, tenor and Fdgar Littleton, basso. New comers this season are Signor Arnalde Conti, | for the past five years leading musical director of the Boston Opera house, Rodolfo Fornari, baritone, who has been & member of the Boston Opera ! forces since the Opera house opened | in 1908 is this season leading barritone. Aaother new comer is the famous Bnglish contralto, Marie Kitchener.

She might read in an advertisement or be told that alum and lime phosphate, which are used as inferior substitutes in cheap baking powders, were all right in the quantities used but she would not buy them or permit them to enter her kitchen. Why? Because she knows that cream of tartar has always been accepted as the most wholesome agent, with soda, for raising cake and bis- cuit, and she wants a baking powder made of cream of tartar, like Royal. This conclusion is the result. of unconscious absorption, either her own or her mother's, of the opinions of the highest authori- ties on hygiene and home cooking. The prudent housekeeper, when she uses baking powder, reads the names of the ingredients printed on the label. She knows what she wants. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO.

We don’t want to run the risk of these women being paid to get out of town rather than give their testimony. Because it is our intention to make it impossible for the gunwoman to do violence, just as well as for the gunman. One is a bad as the other. Both have to go. Miss Rose Young who is well known as a magazine writer and suffrage worker, was arrestéd during the shirt walst strike about two years ago for picketing. When she was told that the commissioner had said that thére were gunwomen in that strike, she said: “If thére was anybody who could be calléd a gunwoman in that strike T certainly did not see her. What vio- lence was done was the other way around. Called “Scabs.” “Wh, the day we were arrested, what deo you suppose the eharge madeé against the girls was? That they had slapped anybody even, let alone juring anybody? Not at all. It was that theéy had called ‘scabs’ at the strike breakers. I was impressed all the time with the self-control which the girls showed and with the instruc- tions given them constantly to be care- ful, lest there should be viilence whici would hurt their cause. “It seems a strange thing that if these gunwomen have been operating it is just being discovered. Of course, if the commissioner says he has the proof I can scarcely say he hasn't. But if I were asked offhand what T thought of a statement that gunwom- en were hired in strikes and if T were not told who said it I would say that it sounded to me very much like a trumped-up story and a part of the general scheme to discredit labor.” If there are desperate characters mixed up in strikts—and she is of the opinion there are—they are not on the side of the strikers, according to Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain. _“I've seén ruffians In strikes,” she said, when asked what skc thought in regard to gunwomen, “but they were not women and they were not working for the union. the employers; Once T visited a strike- breaking agency and talked to a couple of men, who were brothers. They told me that they didn’t like the work, but they had to make a living some way, and they could make =z good one as strike-breakers. They said they worked with riff-raff, the scum of the earth. “Of course, T won't cohtradict the commigsioner in his statements. How can I? I don’t know what he knows. I only know what I know. And that is that I have always been impressed with the control shown by women when on strike. I have wondered sometimeg how they could show =o much restraint when they saw wom- en ‘scabbing’ on them. I wouldn't have blamed them if they had shown violence, but I would have deprecat- ed it, because I do not believe that violence avails anything. Question for Commissioner Woods, “Thére is one thing I'd like to ask the police commissioner.

GREAT CITY PLAY BIG FOX FEATURE In the famous melo-dramatic pro- duction “The Shadows of a Great City,” which will be shown at Fox's tomorrow and Thursday, the director of the screen play selected for scenic settings such well known spots tHroughout New York' city as Chat- ham Square, Five Points, Mott and Doyer streets, Chinatown, the top of the Woolworth buflding, Grand Cen- tral Terminal, Twenty-third street, the base of the Statue of Liberty, East River, Harlem River bridge, Black. well’s Island, Wall strect and Times Square Subway station. These lo- cations fit admirably into the action of the play and give a piece of local | color that could have been gotton in no other way, save to take the piz- tures right where the manuscript stated. “The Shadows of a Great City” is virile, stirring and the sit uations arc such as to arouse that in- tense enthusiasm that goes with rapid, active dramatic climaxes, that touch home with the average auditor. The plot is one remembered by the older theatergoers as having been popular many' years ago. Tts unconventional theme, the surprising finish and manv little tangles not reckoned with by the spectator, constitute a most for- ‘midab'le screen drama. Thomas Jef- ,fersnn and Adelaide Thurston, two | prominent dramatic stars, play the leading roles, supported by a special-) selected cast.

Mr. Goodwin has the power to in- spire men and women to higher and nobler thought: He sings because to sing is to give joy and strength to all who listen.

It doesn’t matter winether you call it a salary or mnet. Tivery woman should know what her husband earns; the two should talk wver and plan expenditures together: a portion should be allotted for the Yeusehold expenses and another portion for the wife's personal expenses.

Wilmot Gaodwin is known to thou- sands of listeners whom he has de- lighted with his art. After success- fully. filling the position of soloist in leading churches of New York, he sang with the St. Paul, the New York Philharmonie, the Boeton Festival, and the Russian Symphony orchestras, Mr. Goodwin then accepted the position of principal baritone with the Aboyn Opera company and for three years sang leading rales with that organi. zation, His voice has won him the highest praise throughout the country and téday it is at the fullness of its perfection, Maurice Warner, the violinist, made his debut fourteen years ago and was immediately classed as a genius. He was a pupil ef Ebann of Chicago, then of Adamoski of Boston. Tt was at the ciose of his term of instruction with this great teacher that Padetew- ski heard Warner play and accom- panied him, exclaiming at the con- clugion of the selection: “You will be one of the world's foremost violin- iste.” Lee Cronican, the pianist, is a solc- ist of power and brilliancy. He does not, however, appeal through his technique alone, for his major claim to the appreciation of his audiences lies in his power to make his inter- pretations of classical themes so pure- 1y elemental in presentation that mn- sical edueation is not necessery to their thoreugh enjoyment. An nrtist of high rank, but always a mausician of and for the average listener, Mr. Cronican has won &' place amaong the few pianists truly enjoyed by the gen. eral public. | GALLUCCI AND SON SHOT BY GUNMEN Millionaire and ‘“Boss of Harlem's Lit- e Italy” Probably Fatally Wounded ~—Twenty-fifth Attempt on His Life New York, May 18.—Giosue Gal- | Jueei, millioraire and a political power in Harlem's “Little Italy,” was shot and probably fatally wounded last two men as he lounged in street.
