YANK SOLDIERS
ACQUIRED OPERA
TASTES ABROAD
Effect Already Noticed In Au
diences of the Chicago Opera
Association Companni
Pleased With Situation.
It has been observed that since
the war broke out and troops have
been stationed in camps near large
cities, especially musical centers,
opera and other musical entertain
ment have been attracting an entire-
ly new set of patrons. The cause of
this is due to the fact that thou
sands of American boys, coming
from those parts of the country
where there is no musical activity,
have become interested in music in
a manner that is surprisingly en
couraging. Singing in camps, under the di
rection of well known song leaders,
has already stimulated a fond de
sire for a better class of music than
was heretofore known. Managers
of the opera houses in Chicago and
New York noticed many new faces
in the audiences last season.
Soldiers Throng Audiences.
Managers attributed this to the
influx of soldiers-and sailors to the
musical training they were receiv
ing. Salesmen of libretti stated that
never in their experience had they
seen so many men purchase the
story of the operas. Concerts and
orchestral entertianments had many
uniformed strangers facing them.
And it was not only officers in at
ttndance but enlisted and drafted
men. ;
In Europe the American soldier
heard much more music in camp
than at home. The French and
Italians find more recreation in
musical affairs than in sports. They
seem to take more pride in the class
of music. By icoming in contact
with French a fld Italian soldiers,
and thus being ijntroduced to their
music, the American soldier, before
he knew it, had acquired such a
taste for the better class of music,
that the ordinary "stuff" did not
satisfy his growing artistic taste.
Companini Is Overjoyed.
Mr. Campanini expects much bet
ter results from this new class of
audience this season than ever be
fore. The hundreds of thousands of
soldier boys returning from France
should have a wonderful effect upon
the musical situation, and he urges
that every community in the coun
try take special pride to engage in
better music in order that these
boys drift not back again into a
rut.
Ho fully expects to find during
the tour of the Chicago Opera asso
ciation this fall, and especially in
Omaha next week, a new audience.
He feels convinced that the re
turned soldier and sailor is sure to
feel that this trip abroad has taught
him more than the art of handling
a machine gun and rifle. He fully
believes that he acquired some of
the European music, and he feels
that he knows enough about good
music to really enjoy it.
Charges Conspiracy
to Place Husband
in Insane Asylum
Charging that "evil-minded per
sons" have conspired to place her
husband, Frank Kreishutz in the
insane asylum at Lincoln, Mrs.
Elizabeth Kreishutz began habeas
corpus proceedings to secure his
release from the asylum in district
court yesterday. '
The suit is directed against J. D.
Case, superintendent of the asylum
and has been set for hearing Oc
tober 21. '
Mrs. Kreishutz says she is 52
years old and her husband is 59.
They were married 30 years ago
and moved to Platte county where
by industry and thrift they acquired
a farm and several thousand dol
lars. Then they were induced to move
to Fremont by the "evil-minded
persons" and there the proceedings
were brought by which her hus
band was placed in the asylum, she
says.
"Disappointed" Police
and Is Fined; Bottle
Had Root Beer in It
Charges of "disappointing an offi
cer" and vagrancy brought a fine of
$25 and costs to Theodore McCoy,
fregro, 2107 Clark street, in central
police court yesterday. It was a
keen sense of smell that prompted
the police to make a charge of "dis
appointing an officer" against Mc
Coy when he proved to them that a
pint whisky bottle in his hip pocket
contained root beer instead of liq
uor. Police say he attempted to sell
the extract as whisky. The arrest
was made at Fourth and Davenport
streets. Theodore paid his f.ne.
Indian Soldier Accused
Of Striking Army Officer
Lt. Clarence L. King was struck
by "Big Chief," an Indian soldier
:n the Camp Dodge detachment of
troops on guard at Twenty-fourth
and Lake streets, Wednesday night,
following a rebuke given by the
lieutenant when the soldier was
found to have a pint of whisky in
his possession,
"Bi Chief" escaped after striking
the officer. Soldiers and police are
in search of him. He will have a
serious charge to face when he is
caught and will probably be sen
tenced to the federal prison, officers
ay.
Brought From Denver for
Alleged Theft During Riot
Jack Knapp, a bell boy, giving his
address as Denver, was brought to
Omaha from that city, arriving yes
terday.and was booked at the central
nolice station for breaking and en
tering. Police say he is wanted for
leading a gang in an attack upon
several pawn shops September '28,
the night of the riot Knapp was
arrested in Denver upon telegraphic
advice from Omaha police. Detec
tive Franks brought him back.

finest and most business-like sched

Slabaugh yesterday.
"Everything goes like clockwork,"

mass of evidence and more wit

before any grand jury, the business
is being put through with dispatch.
mere are so many angles to this

Resume Picketing
ot Restaurants by
Striking Waiters
Striking cooks and waiters began
Dicketinsr "unfair" restaurants and
cafes yesterday. No picketing has
been done since the recent riot un
til today.
The strikers deny statements -of
restaurant owners that the strike is
lost As evidence of their success
they declare that nearly 30 restau
rants have "come to terms" and that
the membership of the Cooks and
Waiters' union has been greatly in
creased. It was the plan of the strikers to
start a co-operative restaurant of
their own, with cabaret features,
but leaders of the strike say the
difficulty in finding a suitable loca
tion and the fact that nearly every
one in the union is working for
some "fair" house makes the plan
unnecessary.
Managers of restaurants which
are members of the Omaha Restau
rant Men's association declare that
none of the restaurants in the or
ganization has signed the strikers'
demands.
