Adelein Tromben was to have sung the part, but an automobile in awhich she sallied forth to see the foami of the sea blew out a fuse in the Ingleside road and came to a sudden halt. The show had to be called off. ‘It was rumored that Impressario Nocerini had believed that the soprano had eloped. Seats had been sold in advance for the opera. Thursday afternoon the man- n Francisco | agement tried to find the sweet-volced | | lady, but there was nothing doing. e J. H. Aydelotte, who is| George Lask said that he looked all| stern capital in Califor- | over town for the missing singer, but | that she could not be located. Then came the news through Nocerini that Ze automobile was not so mobile as wiz sald. Ett would not move; ett Ett ess still there.” This with a sweep |of the hand toward San Mateo County. | Just where Tromben was Nocerini | was not able to say. He had hope of | locating her up to curtain time, when the matinee rolled around, but the lady In response to the demands of disappointed ticket holders. “There was nothing left to do but | call off the matinee,” said Lack last evening. “The lady disappeared Thurs- | day evening. She was with her mother !and having a good rest,” it was ex- plained. “Elopement? Actresses never elope. They may say they do, but they are | not given to that sort of a tRing. It was just an automobile ride—and the mother was along—and that was all. No, Nocerini does not know the reason | for the trouble.

True, San INVESTIGATING LEAKY BOILER ON' YORKTOWN Board of .Naval Officers Confronted by Passing of the Buck CAUSE IS_—_UNKNOWN One Story Is That Rivets Were Removed by s+ Engine Crew SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL JYALLEJO, Feb. 16.—The board of naval officers now in session at' Mare Island to investigate the condition of | the Doiler of the gunboat Yorktown, which recently returned to the navy | yard in a leaky condition, are guard- | Ing the tenure of the testimony very| | closely. The Yorktown was recently | placed in commission at this yard and sent to join the Pacific squadron at target practice in Magdalena Bay. The ship was passed as being in first-class condition, but it is reported that the | boller-maker attached to the gunboat found after a day’s journey|out from | San Francisco that 6ne of the boilers| was leaking, and on investigation that| thirteen of the rivets had been removed, causing the water to escape. | The gunboat continued south ‘and| joined the fleet, continuing her target practice, while a report of the affair was sent to the Navy Department at| | Washington. About ten days ago the! Yorktown returned to this yard, nnd‘ the story then gained publicity, but as | no notice was taken in the matter by | the department it was thought that| the incident was of such small impor- | tance.that no further action would be | taken. Suddenly orders came from ! Washington for a secret inquiry. The| testimony in the case developed a gen- | eral passing of the buck. The yard| authorities, of which Foreman Edward Kavanagh of the boiler shop is the| chief witness, claim that the ship was, in good condition when she left the| yard, and that thirteen rivets could not have heen left out by the yard workmen. The tegtimony of those| aboard the ‘vessel téended to place the blame on the y res. ! Another foun gine , not d the trip to the Central where the Yorktown was ordered, sawed off the rivets in order to hay the ship sent here for repalrs. Thers | was no danger of a repetition of the| Bennipgton disaster in the case of the | Yorktown. | WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Naval offi- | cers are inclined to belittie the storfes | that there has been a plot to destroy| the Yorktown, or e has been | any explosion on the Chicag de- | partment heard from the latter ship to- | day, and the di ; saxd that | she had arriv not been at weeks.

They ‘Chance for American BUTTE, Feb. 16.—The newspaper | are inclined to think thall these heavier ON: the UL E. L. HARRIS reports thai principal kinds of beer im- ported into Smyrna, Turkey, are from Germany and Bohemia. The largest quantities are naturally im- ported during the summer months. 1 the intense heat then prevailing ecessitates the use of only those kinds which contain the least possible quan- ty of alcohol. This is the reason why the light beers brewed in Smyrna by the Procopl Brewery have such a large consumption. For the same rea- son large quantities of a similar beer from the Bomonti Brewery in Constan- tinople are imported into Smyrna. The beer brewed by these two companies sells on the local market at 64 centis per dozen bottles, not including the bottles. It is estimated that 2860 barrels of 13.2 gallons and 1390 barrels of 6.6 gal- lons each are imported annually from Germany and Bohemis, as well as 1350 cases, each case containing 5 dozen bottles, from European countries, about 10 per cent coming from America. Small quantities of American beer have been imported into Smyrna, but 41 though the quality has been well ap- preciated, the high rate of freight charged from the United States causes it to be too expensive for the general consumer. The consul suggests to American breweries the advisability of shipping beer to Smyrna in barrels, thereby saving the heavy freight | chargeable on bottled beer to Smyrna in cases. This might make it possible to compete with beer imported from Germany and Bavaria in barrels. Lo DEEmAC Ll KINDLY TRAIT IN A KING King Edward starts many fashions. has been doing it all his life.

In a statement addressed to the unions the publishers stated their willingness to arbitrate at any time with a view to bring about an amicable settlement of the controversy. The pub- lishers said that all they sought was the opportunity of being able to con- duct their business on a parity with newspapers in other cities, which they had not been able to do because of al- leged restrictions of the printing crafts.

Any one of these “six causes” is quite sufficient to re- duce an affluent topknot to a billiard ball surface; therefore a real bene- faction for mankind would be the en- forcement of a mighty fashion render- ing its loss the most admirable thing in life.
