Chicago, April 28.—Edward Tllden,
head of the bedf trust; W. C. Cum
mings and George M. Benedict today
were arrested on warrants charging
them with contempt of the state senate
In refusing to produce documents de
manded by the Lorimer Investigating
committee In the Investigation of the
alleged bribery In connection with Lori-
mer'a election to the United States sen
ate. Tho attorneys Immediately went
before Judge Petit and obtained a writ
of habeas corpus, returnable Immedi
ately. Tllden and the other men are
"Incarcerated" at the Union League
club.
Attorney J. J. HeaJy, who represents
the stale senate committee, was not
consulted regarding any of the proceed
ings and It was more than half an hour
after the attorney! had been In court
before the news leaked out. Even after
the Issuance of the writ became known
to Healy he was not informed officially.
Nathaniel 8. Scars, attorney for the
beef trust head and the banker*, ap
peared In court alone and the applica
tion for the writ merely atated that the
men were In custody of EL H. Hatfield,
assletant eergeant-at-arma of the state
senate.
The men were released under bonds
of 26,600 each, to appear before Judge
Petit Monday, when, the final disposi

"Lohengrin" was
sung to the only
audience of the

a disappointment
to the singers. But
there was hardly

house.
But when 6,000 Atlanta folk who
didn't know opera from oatmeal until a
year ago, except for an occasional me
diocre company which they didn’t go
to see anyway, pay from 22 to 26 a
seat to hear a strango opera without
the glamour of a certain Italian name
which shall be written nevermore. It’s
a pretty good Indication that Atlanta
has learned to enjoy opera for Its own
sake. It was an extremely well-behaved
audience Which llstened'to "Gioconda."
which argued that most of the seal
holders. came to hear and see rather
than to chatter and be seen.
, Lste Arrivals 8hut Out,
Perhaps 11 /was the rain which kept
so many from arriving on time. The
first curtain was announced for 7:46
o'clock, but at that time scarce half the
audience was seated. Twenty minutes
of grace were given, but "Gioconda” Is
a long opera at best, and with a late
start It might prove fatiguing. So at
2:05 o’clock the doora were closed on
perhaps 200 lafe comers In the corri
dor outside, who were forced to wait
for nearly an hour until the long and
beautiful first act was over.' Two or
three of th» music association direc
tor* and half a dozen opera singers who
did not appear except as visitors, were
among the shut-out ones, and tho there
were protests and pleadings nobody
could get In, because the doors were
locked on the Inside and It's hard to
storm or plead thru solid oak.

With almost every .seat sold at noon
and hundreds of disappointed applicants
for the lower-priced tickets, which dls.
appeared long ago, the first appearance
of Goraldlne Farrar this year promises
to mako Friday night's opera, "Koe
nigskinder," the principal event of At
lanta's second season from the view
point of general popularity. There ore
several factors which have made this
the drawing card of the engagement.
One Is tho opportunity to hear Miss
Farrar, the young American girl whose
beauty and personal charm have made
her such a favorite here. Another Is
the announced appearance of 40 At
lanta children In the village scene.
Them too, the new Humperdinck opera
has been given wide advertising thru
Its recent production In New York—It
