IS (IN; LEADER
BILL TO-NIGHT:
Explains Details of Revision and
Effect on Country—Debate to
Continue Five Days.
WASHINGTON. April 23.—Demo-
ratir Leader Underwood opened
tariff debate in the House to-day
\ith a comprehensive statement of
the details of the new bill and an
analysis of its effect on the indus
tries of the country.
Underwood spoke extemporaneous
ly now' and then referring to the
tariff handbook and at other times
to the Ways and Means Committee’s
report. His remarks were construed
as the “keynote” speech of the de-
hate, which, by agreement, is to last
five legislative days, with night ses
sions.
Mr. Underwood declared the time
had come to remove protection from
profits and put American business on
a competitive basis. It was un-
American, he thought, to put a pre
mium on business inefficiency.
Progressive Leader Murdock was
busy to-day on his tariff report,
which will be presented to the
House.
The Finance Committee of the
.Senate had conferences to-day with
those Senators who are opposing
putting sugar and wool on the free
list.
Progressives Speak.
Before Underwood began his speech
he obtained the consent of the House
to an agreement whereby general de
bate on the tariff bill will close at
whatever time the House closes on
Monday.
The Republicans will yield six hours
to Progressive Leader Murdock to
dispose of as he sees fit.
“The Payne hill had hardly been
enacted into law before the men who
framed it began apologizing for it,”
;id Underwood. ‘‘They recognized
themselves that it was not satisfac
tory to the American people.
I do not contend that increased
of living is entirely due to the
high protective tariff system, but it is
safe to say the main reason for the
increase has grown out of a taxation
ms tern which aided only the large
manufacturers and the privileged
(lasses.”
Raps Tariff for Living Cost.
Underwood admitted that there has
been a world-wide increase in the
ost of living, hut he contended that
: has been much larger in the United
States than in countries where tariff
rates are not so high. “Prices will
not be reduced until merchants have
disposed of the stock of goods which
they bought under a high protective
system and they will not reduce these
prices until they are forced to.”
Says Cotton Mills
Must Cut Wages.
BOSTON, April 23.—Edwin Farn-
nam Greene, treasurer of the Pacific
Mills of Lawrence and president of
the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers, speaking at the open
ing of the annual convention of the
association here to-day, declared that
the only chance for the cotton indus
try to meet foreign competition is by
a reduction in the wages of the oper
atives.
President Greene declared that the
industry is facing a crisis as the re
sult of tariff legislation at Washing
ton. .
Hempel Scores Remarkable Tri
umph on First Appearance Be
fore an Atlanta Audience.
Atlanta operagoers who have
grumbled for three seasons because
only Italian, French and German have
been sung will have opportunity to
night to learn whether opera in- Eng
lish really is preferable.
The Metropolitan company is to
sing in English for the first time in
Atlanta, and a work given its pre
miere in New York only a few weeks
ago will be the offering. This is
“Cyrano.” written about ten years ago
by Walter Damrosch, of New York,
but not given a performance until last
February. It has been sung by the
Metropolitan but five times.
The opera is novel, too, in that its
title is given the baritone. Pasquale
Amato, who w’as accorded a veritable
ovation in his “Traviata” role yester
day afternoon, w r ill be the Cyrano to
night. Riccardo Martin, the Ameri
can tenor, who has been 'among the
Atlanta favorites since the first con
cert season five years ago, will be the
Christian. The Roxane will be
Madame Frances Alda, the beautiful
Australian and the wife of General
Manager Gatti-Casazza. It was Alda
who sang Desdemona to Slesak*^
Othello so well two seasons ago.
Hertz to Conduct To-night.
Alfred Hertz, the jovial old Ger
man conductor, has arrived especially
to direct the music of “Cyrano.” Put
nam Griswold, who sings but a few
bars in the whole Atlanta week, came
with him, and will be the De Guiche.
Albert Reiss, the little tenor comedian,
will have the best role he has ever
sung in Atlanta as Ragueneau, the
poetic pastry cook. Basil Ruysdae’,
the handsome basso, whose name is
Dutch, though he is American born, is
another late arrival for the "Cyrano”
performance.
The opera follows closely, until the
finale, the Rostand play which caused
such a furore about twelve years ago,
and in which Coquelin in France and
Mansfield in the United States made
such great dramatic successes. The
music is said to be excellent, running
the gamut from the frivolous comedy
of Ragueneau to the solemn and
weirdly beautiful death song of Cy
rano as the curtain falls. The book is
by W. F. Hepderson, one of the lead
ing musical critics and writers of
New York, and adheres as closely to
the Rostand lines as is possible in a
really "singable” libretto.
Ponchielli's “Gioconda,” with Des-
tinn, Caruso, Gilly and Homer, will he
the bill to-morrow afternoon. There
will be no night performance to-mor
row.
Third Presentation of "Cyrano.”
“Cyrano,” which will be presented
in the Auditorium to-night by the
Metropolitan company, is regarded by
many of the critics as the production
to meet the cry for a new and thor
oughly worthy American opera.
That the music for the opera was
written a dozen years ago by Walter
Damrosch does not in the least de
stroy its characteristic of newness,
for it received its first presentation
only last February, when it was
staged in New York. It was given a
second time in the metropolis and to
night it will have its third presenta
tion.
The book, following in its plot many
of the essentials of Rostand's “Cyrano

Work Is Melodious.
Mr. Damrosch says of his own
work:
“It is not a music drama; it is an
opera. I have gone to older models
than Wagner. The scoring is light;
the work is melodious. There are set
arias and the singers have as much
melody to sing as the orchestra.”
A pleasing scenic effect in the first
act is the reproduction of a tiny thea
ter in the Hotel de Bourgogne in 1640.
Soon after the arrival of the minia
ture theater’s* audience of cavaliers,
burghers, lackeys, pages and fiddlers,
the violinists play an overturo which
Damrosch describes as based on the
style of Lully. It is a most delightful
and delicate bit of instrumentation.

CHATTANOOGA, TBNN., April 23.—
As the result of the death of James
Turney, a former member of the
County Court, last Monday. A. G.
Smith was bound over to the Grand
Jury this afternoon under $5,000 bond
on a charge of murder.
There’s Signor Antonio Scotti. Why
can't we all make diadems out of our
mere straw hats, and scepters out of
our cause, and play the Prince Charm
ing to the utter rout of maidens
everywhere? Because, most likely,
we are not Antonio Scotti.
Style and savoir-faire seemed to
radiate from the stalwart, erect figure
that made its way leisurely along
downtown Peachtree to-day. Military
precision was there, and yet a natural
grace that made it plain that the dig
nity was innate ana not artificial.
A tailor, measuring a customer,
glanced out into the street and saw
the figure pass his shop door. He
rushed to the door and gazed at the
tight coat, the square shoulders, the
ultra-correct trousers, with eyes of
artistic appreciation. Then he went
back and changed a few entries on hi*
customer's order blank.
An automobile sped along the street
with a long-drawn blast of a siren
W’histle. Four girls saw the stalu'art
figure.
“Gee, It’# Scotti!”
“Ou-u-u-u-u.” Four blended gasps
echoed the siren and resounded above
it. The automobile slowed and turned.
“It’s Scotti,” said the girl at the
wheel, whispering, awe-struck.
Scotti sauntered leisurely. Get the

Then the four rapt maidens saw
the luckiest woman in the world. A
handsome automobile swept by. »ts
occupant, a woman, gowned and glo

She spoke to her chauffeur, and th-

NEW YORK. April 23. The “open
letter to railroads” printed by the
New' York American is cordially in
dorsed by Julius Kruttschnitt, chair
man of the board of the Southern
Pacific Company. He declares:
•‘The most effective way to se
cure relief from the oppression
under which the railroads are
suffering - is to secure the a!d and
co-operation of the general pub
lic, of voters, in controlling the
politicians.”
Mr. Kruttschnitt made the state
ment in answer to The American’s
open letter urging that steps be taken
by the heads of railroads to alleviate
—harassment they have complained
of so bitterly
Mr. Kruttschnitt explained that the
Southern Pacific had been co-operat
ing with farmers, boards of trade
and the public in general to obtain
relief by way of the ballot for the
railroads. That this work is having
beneficial results was reflected by the
action of the people of Oklahoma and
Texas in turning down oppressive
laws dealing inimically with the rail
roads.
It was also the belief of Mr. Krutt
schnitt that the decline in the credit
of the railroads, as reflected by a
falling market for their bonds, was
due to the increased burdens imposed
upon the roads by the legislators
and to constant attacks.
‘The railroads of the United
States,” said Mr. Kruttschnitt. ‘‘were
never in better physical condition nor
more economically operated than they
are now, but the activities of the poli
ticians prevent people from invest
ing in them, became nobiQdy
wants to buy into a property that is
being pounded and hammered all the
time”
Mr. Kruttschnitt. referring to the
open railroad letter printed by the
American, said:
1 think the suggestions made by
Mr. Forbes, in the New York Amer
ican are very good. The officers re
sponsible for the management of rail
road properties realize the increasing
difficulty of securing fk*om legislators
in matters vitally affecting their in
terests.- We realize the most effec
tive way to secure relief from the
oppression under which the railroads
are suffering is to secure the aid and
co-operation of the general piiblic of
voters in controlling the politicians.
The only States in which legislation
to needlessly increase the expenses
of railroads has been defeated have
been those in which the assistance
of the people themselves has been
secured after campaigns of educa
tion, argument and reason

Atlanta Now Cleanest City in
America, Says Washington
Sociology Expert.
Paying high tribute to Chief Beav
ers and Marion Jackson for their suc
cessful campaign against commercial
ized vice in Atlanta. Wilbur F. Crafts
to-day declared the South in a few
years would become the cleanest and
most moral part of the world.
Mr. Crafts is superintendent of the
International Reform Bureau, witn
headquarters in Washington. He is
in Atlanta to attend sessions of the
Southern Sociological Congress, which
begin Friday.
One of the first things Mr. Crafts
did after his arrival was to go to
headquarters for a conference with
Chief Beavers on the details of the
anti-vice campaign waged here.
“It is patent,” he said, “that vice
has gone from Atlanta to . cf tay. With
such a man as Beavers in charge of
the situation it can not come back. I
had heard much of the city, but I was
surprised beyond my expectations at
finding it morally the cleanest city in
America. Atlanta has gone at the
problem in the only effective and log
ical method—by instant extermina
tion.
Dr. Crafts is known in Washington
as “Speaker of the Third House.”
Fourteen laws written by him have
been passed by Congress. While in
.Atlanta he will deliver addresses to
the Boys’ and to the Girl’s High
Schools, as well as to several churches.
Sunday night he will speak at the
Harris Street Presbyterian Church.
