As he was leaving his house the de-| teetive at the legation telephoned him that the daughter of the janitor of the legation had just left her apart ments in the costume of Carmen, It did not take the inspector long to locate Carmen at the ball, 8he was seeking a man who eventually appeared in the uniform of a Hun garlan magnate, and wearing the customary black mask. The palr withdrew discreetly into a quiet room, and the inspector waited at the only | exit, | Soon they came out, the girl wear- ing an expensive necklace she ha not had on before, The inspector ap- | proached Carmen and the Hungarlan magnate and spoke a few quiet but | well-chosen words, There was no| protest and no scene, They proceed- ed with him to a taxicab, and on the vay to the railroad station the in-| spector stopped at police headquar- ters.

Biloxi, Miss., April 17.—As a result of a legal squabble over the owner- ship of a defunct whale found several days ago off the coast of Biloxi, the federal district court here issued a w of sequestration directing the United States marshal to “seize and bring into court” the whale weighing more than 75 tons and measuring more than 65 feet and valued at $10,- 600, Rojello Lopez, captain of the fish- ing boat San Francisco, and his crew found the dead whale floating a few miles off the mainland and towed it to the northeast end of Deer island. After attaching a placard bearing the captain’s name and that of his boat, the crew anchored it and proceeded to New Orleans. Upon their return | they found another party in posses- sion of the whale. lLegal proceedings immediately were begun by L.opez and his crew. A suit in the name of Lopez et al against the J.

They take good or bad translations, but insist on their own language. “But we must go still further. How can we build up good citizenship with a condition existing such as three score foreign language newspapers in Chicago in which no word of English appears We cannot carry facts or art to the citizen who does not know our language. “These newspapers and all like them by government decree, should be bilingual. Our children will have no careers in this artistic fleld if we do not demand opera in English of all companies incorporated in the | United States. “Poor translations are being harped upon, but without cause, for in the private library of Mrs. Edith Rocke- feller McCormick, masterly transla- tions ace being made of the foreign operatic repertory, later to be given to our public opera companies. Coop- eration of the public, every small community that has singers, choral clubs, small or large orchestras, and particularly the small opera company such as one sees in Europe must be had.” St. Mark’s Societies Plan May Social and Dance The Girls' Friendly society and the Knights of Washington society of St. Mark’s Eplscopal church will hold a social and dance in the parish rooms of the church Thursday evening, May 24, The dance will be open to alll members of the parish and their friends.

As an indication of the prevalent fceling the correspondent quotes the Irish Times as advocating a confer- ence between a government represen- | tative and the republicans with & neu- tral chairman. It suggests Monsignor Luzlo for this post. The newspaper announces the idea may not be pleasing to the govern- ment but says a conference is the only alternative to a continuing of the fighting untll the extremists have been utterly crushed. It urges that the government cannot be endangered by, such a conference which may bring, “a safe peace'—the only peace nwg nation can afford to accept. Miss Marie May Bride f Of William A.
