Capacity Audiences Booked.
Capacity audienrei for all perform
ance have been bonked in advance.
Advicei from Uavaria iay that the
hifli character of production, which
ha characterized the performances
for more than 28l year, ha been
maintained this year.
The management of the play has
been bombarded more than ever this
year with financial schemes, all of
which have been scrupulously de
clined in the spirit of the original
vow. The lofty ideals inspiring the
can and producers are further enun
ciated by the recent rejection by
Anton Lang, the leading actor, of
the "benedictions and dollars." of
fered by an American syndicate for
him to appear in the United States.
It was proposed that Lang should
receive any amount he inilit name,
together with expenses, limphasis
also was placed in the offer upon the
great benefit he undoubtedly would
bring to the religious communities
of the United States, and the value
his visit might have upon interna
tional friendship. It was proposed
that the play should be staged as
at Oberammergau in a huge open
air theater in New York with Lang
hading -the cast. Whatever profit
might be made, the American syndi
cate proposed, could be devoted to
the populace of Oberammergau.
Lang Thanks Syndicate.
"The good and friendly people of
America," said the proixsal, "would
receive you with love and send you
back with benedictions and dollars."
Lang thanked the syndicate and
ixprcssed appreciation of the spirit
of .the offer, but declined to accept,
because to do so would make him
feel like "an uprooted tree."
He also revealed the fact that au
American offer was rejected in 1914,
providing for high 'weekly, salaries
for himself and two'other members
of the cast.
, Girls Are Ejected.
two t-ngiisn speaking youiiff
women who calmly lighted cigarets

Munich's famous opera house during
the intermission of a gala perform

day, apparently were not acquainted
with Munich's attitude toward the
"Wagnerian operas or the ethics of

Their faux pas brought down the
wrath of a crowded house which de
manded their ejection before the cur
tain went up on the next scene.
Two uniformed ushers and one po
liceman "accommodated" the offend

The audience also objected to the
presence of four "extreme looking"

How Lillian and Madge Made
Preparations to Safeguard
Everyone,
The Tlcer. father, mothrr, son anj
daughter left lor their home within
few minute of my return to the
house with Jerry after putting up the
rar. 1 watched them go with re
luctant little tremor of appreiuioit I,
remrmherrd Lillian's words con
cerning Smith, and 1 was not par.
attending to the fattening of the win
nows and doors. "our mother-in-law's
windows have bars you re
member she had them put up after
Junior was taken last fall. I'm go
ing to ak her if I may put Marion
in her bed for tonight, and when
they get soundly, lo sleep I'll lock
them in for a spell. After I've in
terviewed Katie I'm going to take
the liberty of putting her on a cot
in my room she'll be to frightened
by the time I get through with her
that she'll be glad to be locked in
and you know that window iu my
room couldn't be reached unless by
a ladder. Betide, it i on the road.
Then you and I are going on a little
excursion. 1 suppose all these pre
cautions are the rankest foolishness,
but I'd rather be ridiculous one hun
dred limes than sorry once."
A "Little Excursion."
"I should think so." I replied ban
ally enough, but indeed I was in no
state to choose my words. Was it
posMblc that with the man, Smith,
at large in the countryside even if
he were shadowed Lillian meant me
to leave the house with her? Yet
what else could the phrase "little ex
cursion," mean?
My loyalty to Lillian and the cause
in which we were working took a
sickening slump at this point. Not
for anything in the world. I told my
self, would I leave my little lad in a
locked room v'th n'y his feeble
grandmother and little Marion to
stand between him and any danger,
real or fancied. My determination
must have shown in my face, for Lil
lian laughed lightty as she turned to
me from the last window fastening
upon the ground floor.
"I really don't need a padded cell,
much as you may think it," she said.
"Our little excursion will he a per
fectly safe one it's only to Katie's
room after she is settled for the
night. Now, if you don't mind play
ing chambermaid and fixing up a cot
for Katie in my room incidentally,
you and I will share my bed tonight,
when we finally seek a bed t will
go to Katie and try my luck at a
little applied psychology."
1 busied myself as she had sug
gested, and did even more for I car-,
ried Marion, a slight figure for her
age, to my mother-in-law's bed with
out awakening the child, and ex
plained that Lillian wished Marion to
sleep with her, and would explain
why in the morning. k
f "All right." Mother Graham mur
mured sleepily. "Put her on the side
away from my arm. Luckily it's a
wide bed." - ; .
She was asleep again before I had
left thi room, with a reassuring stop
at Junior's cribsirle, and it was not
many minutes afterward that Lil
lian came to her room. .
"You So Goot "
"Everything set, I see," she com
mented, kfbking around the room,
and then, when I had explained what
I had done. "Did Marion wake up. or
your mothej-in-law object? tip?" at
my negative shake or tne neaci.
' That s good. I wish i d oeen as
successful." - . :
I made no reolv. for I knew of old
tliat questions annoyed her, and that
questioning annoyed her, and that
she would tell me Whatever she
wished me to know.
"That girl is certainly a thousand-
piece picture puzzle," she said after
a few seconds pause. She swears
her a swear that she took nothing
from your father's room, or . any
thing else, and I'm almost constrain
ed to believe her. Yet there's some
thing about her I don't know-'
She snread her hands in a help-

lian, and I saw that she was indeed
puzzled and troubled concerning
Katie, and the oossibility of her hav
ing abstracted from my father's room
the mysterious object which Smith
and Joe and the people behind them
were so anxious to find.
I ourooselv left her alone so that
she could hide the thing if she wanted
to I told her Smith thought she had
it, and would no doubt try within the
next few hours to find her and get
it from her. We'll have no trouble
about keeping her indoors for the
next few days or so. Here she comes

i "Yes, Katie." I put. my hand on
her arm reassuringly. "I'll go up

I felt her relax against me.

"There are things about myself
which I would like to tell to some

unbosom, myself would have such a
power over me thereafter that, were
he to so desire, I would be practical

said that only the love of his
grandchildren had made him realize
how unfair, how unjust, and how
untrue his life had been.

Omaha Grain
' Omaha, May 6. '
Buyers and sellers were slow In
getting together in the local cash
market and most of the sales were
made in the late session. Buyers of
wheat were unwilling to pay more
than 5 cents under yesterday's sales
and most of the samples changed
hands at that level. Corn was in
better demand at prices ranging
from 1 to lyic lower. Oats sold
fic to lc lower. Rye was 3c lower
and barley unchanged.
The run of receipts in Omaha was
made up of 48 cars of wheat, 116
cars of corn, 14 cars of oats, 5 cats
rye and barley, totaling 183 cars, and
compared with 150 cars last year.
Total shipments were heavy at
215 cars, a large proportion of which
was wheat and rye, and compared

worse will or wilt not be carried
further than wat at firl expected.
The change for the worc in 19.0
turned out, later iu that year, to be
continuous; financial markcti, after
their brief recovery from the first
anticipatory decline, broke again
with great violence.
The present markets are apparent
ly not yet able to tee beyond the
spring trade revival which they have
discounted by rising prices. If they
are to advance a;aui, it would be iu
response to evidence of larger trade

The Coal Situation '
The features In the coal strike situation
are the continued practical tie-up In the
anthracite coal region, output there being
connned to washery production, a silgntiy
larger output In the Connellsvllle (Pa.)
soft coal or coking coal field, ana a dis
tinctly marked step forward In the non
union fields of eastern and western Ken
tucky, West Virginia and Alabama, In
tho latter two regions output, stimulated
by better prices, is said to be littles below
normal. The estimated output in the soft
coal regions of the country for the week
ondlng April 29 was 4.150,000 tons, and
tho output this week will certainly exceed
this quantity, with the claim made that,
given the stimulus ot higher prices, the
nonunion output can be pushed up to
6,000,000. tons maximum. Present con
sumption is said to bo about 8,000,000 tons
weekly, which Is 6,000,000 tons below the
maximum output reached under the stim
ulus of war needs. With the output 4.000,-
000 to 5,000,000 tons and consumption
8.000,000. tho weekly reduction of the
68,000,000 tons In stock above ground April
1 would be 3.000.000 to 4.000.000 tons,
which would permit of one to two months'
operation of Industry before supplies be
come dangerously reduced.
As showing tho course ot bituminous and
anthracite coal production (in tone) for
the year to date, the following table, com
piled from returns by the geological Sur
vey, will be found of Interest:

The lie of a tint tnr than I per
pent In the monthly ladeg number has
been clearly foreshadowed, recent prlr
londenrlee being definitely upward. Var.
loua important market developed renewed
firmness last month after a period of
Irregularity, and lh recovery hss lnr
been islanded. With demand broaden
ing, eellera ire now In a atronger posi
tion, and lh dvnr in inch eeele com

atlll confined mainly to Immediate or
nearby requlrementa, yet Iher I mere
fore ward business, and nuotallnna on
future dellrenea are on a higher basis in
some Instances. Aa tnessured by Dun'
Index Number, however, the general prlr
level I about St per cent below lh lop
mark of May I, I9!, when lh compile

Ihe prewar basis.
umber f Failure Reduced.
The country' business mortality, a
measured by the Insolvency statistics, con
tinues much above the average, tut Iher
haa been sn Irrrgulsr reduction In num
ber of failure during recent months. The
April totsl 2.IS7 Is about 13 per cent
below that of March and discloses a de
cress ot fully 20 per rent from Ihe 2.722
defaults of January of this yesr. which
wss the highest point reached sine the
beginning of 1916. Many of the weak
spot In Ihe commercial situstlon hava
been eliminated In Ihe period of economic
readjustment, yet frequent Insolvencies of
unususl site keep the liabilities? at an ex
ceptionally high level. Thus, the April
aggrrgste ot 173,000,000 Is In excess of
s)l previous monthly records, excepting
the 173.800,000 of Jsnuary of thia year and
the II7.609.OOO of laat December, and re
veal an Increa of more than 90 per
cent aver lh $38. 600, 000 of April. 19"l.
More than 67 per rent of laat month's in
debtedness, however, wss supplied by 77
failure for 1100,000 or mora In each In
stance. Pig Iron Output Inrreased.
Despite lh coal atrlk handicap, con
tinuing throughout Ihe month, pig Iron
output Increased again during April, A
was tu lie expected, the gain was less than
that recorded In March, but April'a dally
rate of production rose 3.295 tons and
reached the highest point since February,
1921. Based on active capacity. Ihe pig
Iron make at the beginning of lh current
month, according to The Iron Age, was at
an annual rate of 26,000.000 tons, or
10.000.000 tons more thsn last year's ac
tual output. Notwithstanding tho coal
strike, there was a net Increase of 7 In
number of furhaces la operation on May
1, 163 then being at work, and ther Is
a striking contrast with the . only 69
furnsces in blast on August 1, last yesr.
In the current week, howover, furnsc
activities were reduced a little, for the
purpose of conserving fuel.
- Drygoods Advances Continue.
In common with the movement In some
othsr Important markets, textile prices sro
strengthening. The current week brought
advances on a number of fabrics, both
cotton and woolen, and the rise In raw
materlala is clearly having a more potent
Influence In primary circles. While there
I compsratlvely little disposition to anti
cipate forward requirement in volume,
demanda have quickened in aome whole
aale lines and moderate seasonal gslns ap
pear In retell distribution. The unsettling
effects of strikes In New England and In
coal mining fields continue, however, and
raina and flooda have made business Ir
regular In 7e west. Resistance to higher
prices remains a factor In consuming
channels, and merchants are uncertain
as to what action to take on many goods
because of the attitude of buyers SO the
counters On the whole, there Is a tend
ency to proceed conservatively, but Ihe
general situation is unmistakably im
proved, and the present official report on
world cotton consumption showing a con
dition closely approaching that of prewar
times, hss occasioned favorable comment.
Hide and Leather Improvement.
The present week brought a more de
cisive turn for the better in the hide
trade and allied lines. Liquidation In this
quarter ha been extensive, with surplus
stocks reduced, and the markets are
clearly In a more favorable posltloa Re
newed and more confident buying ha
developed In domestic packer hides, sales
during the last fortnight approximating
600.000 hides, and the price lilt shows a
numbfr of advances this week. Not only
has business been of larger volume, but
demands have been more diversified, up
per snd sols leather tanners and harness,
and belting makers holng among those
operating more actively. While fall shoe
orders of mugnitude have not yet ap
peared, leather tanners anticipate a better'
business during coming seasons. The call
for patent leather, which has been an out
standing feature for some time past, con
