SAYS ROOSEVELT
STAND IS RIGHT
Baldwin, Running for Governor of
Connecticut, Replies to the
Former President
NO CONTROVERSY ON ISSUE
Democratic Nominee Declares He
Is Misunderstood Regarding
the Labor Question
(Associated Prfss)
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 31.—Judge
Simeon E. Baldwin, Democratic nom
inee for governor, sent a letter today
to former President Roosevelt in reply
to Roosevelt's recent letter relating to
Judg Baldwin'! stand on certain labor
legislation.
The letter, In part, follows:
"I have received your two answers
(both undated) to my letter of October |
L' 4; one written before you received it
and the other written after you had
read it.
"Apparently you have misunderstood
the point of my communication.
"You had charged me with holding
a certain view on a point of law. 1
stated that I did not hold that view
and never had, and requested that yuu
retract the charge.
"The passage from your address to
which I referred was one in which you
stated I was a man 'who took the view
that it was competent for the work
man, when driven to accept any em
ployment, to bind himself not to be
compensated if he lost his life or limb
In that occupation.'
AGREES WITH ROOSEVELT
"In your first undated letter you
state that your recollection of this
passage In your address is that you
mentioned that the Democratic candi
date for governor of Connecticut oc
cupied a retrogressive attitude as to
the right of legislative bodies to inter
fere with what you regard as the ut
terly miscalled liberty of laboring men
and women to contract for the per
formance of work under conditions
which jeopardized their welfare and
their lives and limbs; and that the Re
publican party, on the contrary, stood
for what you regard as the only
proper progressive attitude, which is
that it is not competent for the work
man, who may be driven by dire need
to accept any employment, to bind
himself not to be compensated if his
health Is damaged, or if he loses life
or limb in that occupation.
"I would say that this view which
you describe as that of the Republi
can party is the view which is gen
erally taken by courts and lawyers
and was explicitly taken by me in my
work on American railroad law, in a
passage to which I refer you in my
letter of October 24. It is part of the
general American common law, resting
upon principles of right and Justice
that have been generally accepted by
the people of the United States.
"You have stated in public that
took the view that it was competent
for the workman, when driven to ac
cept any employment, to bind himself
not to be compensated If he lost life
and limb in that occupation.' I have
denied that I ever took such q, view.
I will add that I have long boon in
favor of the workingman's compensa
tion act (though not unaware of tho
constitutional difllcultieH in applying it
In this country), and was nominated
to the office to which you referred by
a party which called for such legisla
tion in its platform.^

NEW STAR SHINES
AT OPERA START
Regina Vicarino Is Accorded a
Great Reception as Singer
and Actor in 'Lucia'
FLORENCE BOSARD LAWRENCE
Worthy grand opera at popular prices
proved its success last night at the
Auditorium, when the Be.vani opera
singers made their initial appearance
before an audience which crowded the
theater even to the topmost gallerle*.
Good gingers, an excellent orchestra
and scenic and costume properties of
merit combined to furnish the local
music lovers with a treat such as they
liave rarely enjoyed here. The triumph
of the singers was immediate and the]
enthusiasm which swept the house
gave them confidence and enabled
them to do their very best, which is
possible! only when singers and listen
ers are completely en rapport.
Donizetti's opera "Lucia" was the
bill last night, and served admirably
to introduce the remarkable young
soprano Reglna Vicarino. This singer,
still in her early twenties, received
what was unquestionably the greatest
welcome ever accorded on a local stage
to any singer as little known and as
unheralded as she. From the moment
uf her first appearance she won and
held her audience. Her voice has all
the range anil limpidity of an ideal
coloratura. The upper register is clear
and brilliant, and the lower tones
wonderfully vibrant and rich for a
coloratura voice. She sings apparently
without effort, and throughout this
opera responded to encores again and
again, repeating even the wonderful
aria of the mad scene in the fourth
act, ■■"•! achieving the same purling
trills the same scintillant birdlike
arpeggios. She sang this (lorid orna
mental music with a delicacy and per
fection of Intonation which marks it
easily one of the greatest vocal read-
Ings of the role ever given in this
city. Dramatically this young singer
is also far removed from the stereo
typed grand opera soprano with the
two or three stilted gestures to which
they have accustomed us.
11ATTA1N ALSO iCOKM
Eugenio Battain, whose splendid
tenor voice is already familiar to I-ob
Angeles audiences, essayed the role
of Edgardo. His success last night
was in accord with his previous good
work and he enacted the role, which
was 'particularly suited to the tense
dramatic quality of his voice, in ex
cellent manner. Histrionically, Bat
tain has improved tremendously since
his former appearances, and he evinces
not only ability of a high order, but a
thorough studiou-ness His duets with
Vicarino were beautifully done, and
his bolos d.iighted lils hearers.
Achille Albert! iang the part of
Henry and Alexander Bevanl was cast
as Bide the Best. Both these singers

Newcombe is a young singer of this
city whose advent on the stage was
Interesting to her friends last night.
She appeared to advantage In the
small part of Alice, and William Gui
lani sang Arthur in Impressive man
ner and a pleasant young voice whose
possibilities seem yet unrealized.
An orchestra entirely commensurate
with the needs of the singers was di
rected by Robert Francini and the
overture was especially delightful. The
chorus finds little opportunity in
"Lucia," but is evidently that most
unusual thing In grand opera—young
and good looking—so much the mar
riage scene of the opera permitted us
to know.

MAY BRING IN NEW OIL
FIELD NEAR INDIAN WELLS
Reports coming In from the vicin
ity of Indian Wells, in the extreme
northeast corner of Kern county, in
dicate that a new oil field may be
brought in there at no distant date.
Close around Indian Wells a number
of companies and individual opera
tors have begun drilling. The Santa
Fe is said to have gotten a good
showing of oil at 630 feet.
Four or five other concerns are re
ported either at work or getting ready
to work. The oldest of the pros
pectors, which is working about six
teen miles north of Indian Wells, has
recently purchased its second rig.
This company was in the field several
months before the railroad was built
through. The railroad now runs near
the property. The Hoffmans of San
Francisco are down about 268 feet with
their prospect well.
Nothing is proven there as yet, but
drillers from the other Kern county
wells declare that the formation al
ready penetrated looks as good as
Hi" best. Many local people are in
terested in the district through loca
tions or otherwise. It is reported that
the Southern Pacific will drill for oil
as soon as it finishes a string of water
wells it is now drilling for the rail
road's use.

J. J. KENNEY NEW
PRESIDING ELDER
Methodist Church South Names
Successor to Rev. J. W.
Shoaff
The closing day of the forty-first an
nual conference of the Methodist
church south of Southern California
and Arizona was full of activity yes
terday at the Trinity church, complet
ing the work of one ot The most suc
cessful sessions ever held by that body.
At the morning session the confer
ence unanimously adopted the report
of the committee on temperance and
Sabbath, observance, which regretted
what was termed the prevailing Sab
bath desecration.

siding bishop, expressed his pleasure
over the conference, saying that the
sessions had been harmonious and had
resulted in general satisfaction in all
departments of the church work.
The bishop will be the guest of the
Rev. R- P. Howell, pastor of Trinity
church, a few days to secure a much
needed rest and attend lo his delayed
correspondence.
The report on the Arizona Polytech
nic college which is to be built in Ari
zona next year received considerable
prominence in the closing deliberations
yesterday. The California junior col
lege to be built on the Pacific coast
also was discussed. Plans were made
for the enlargement of the Deaconess'
hospital and a deaconess' home. The
committee on publications advocated
more reading of the religious papers
in the homes of church members and
less of the frivolous periodicals.

TEXAS TO GIVE
NATIONAL DRAMA
Spring Carnival at San Antonio
Will Be Great Historical
Pageant
(Special to The Herald)
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 31.—
For the first time in the south a grand
historical pageant such as has been
given with success in England and
several of the northern cities and
towns in the United States will be
presented at the next spring carnival
in April. For three days the story
will be given of the beginning, the
growth and development of a nation.
It is planned to make the pageant
a national drama, something so his
torically correct and picturesque that
it may be produced as well in Madison
Square garden, New York, as under
the live oak trees by the winding river
in San Antonio. The idea originated
with John B. Carrington, secretary
of the chamber of commerce, and it
has been indorsed by that body. A
subsidiary organization of citizens
under t;.e title of "The Pageant as
sociation" will carry out the plan.
From 260 to 300 persons will be on
the stage at one time. This stage will
be placed on the banks of the river,
and will represent an open space in
a dense oak forest. An amphitheater
capable of seating 20,000 persons will
be built.
HAS BERVKI> SIX FLAGS
No section of the country has a
history more dramatic, more thrilling
than Texas, which has been governed
under six flags, those of Spain, France,
Mexico, the Confederate states, its
own flag as thej-epublic of Texas, and
lastly under the Stars and Stripes.
Of the several hundred players,
many will be descendants of the ac
tual heroes. The unfolding of 200
years of romance, heroism, bloodshed
and warfare, with the last chapter de
picting the amazing growth of the
southwest, the "New Empire In the
United States," will be shown In a
scenario so thrilling the story will be
lifted above local color and become
nation-wide in importance. Some fa
mous actress will be secured to speak
the prologue to each performance. She
will be known as "The Spirit of
Texas."
The following is a tentative arrange
ment of the episodes of the play:
1. Indian village, Indian maiden
dances, war dance of braves, old med
icine man announces the coming of
the mysterious white men.
2. The Spanish explorers with their
3. The French explorers. La Harpe
and others, all in the costumes of the
day, and bearing their flag. -
4. The coming of the Franciscan
fathers, the founding of missions and
San Antonio.
5. The Mexicans throw off the Span-
ish yoke, capture San Antonio and es
tablish Mexican Independence.
6. The Texans throw off the Mexican
rule and establish the republic—ln
cluding the fall of the Alamo and the
victory of San Jacinto, Introducing
Texas heroes, Houston, Travis, Crock
ett, Howie, Fannin, etc.
7. The coming of the Germans—-
Prince Solms and the founding flf New
Braunfels, with German costumes of
the period and music.
8. The war with Mexico, Introducing
Gen. Lee, Gen. Grant, etc.
9. The growth of San Antonio Into
a city.
10. The war with Spain—the muster
ing of the Rough Riders under Col.
Ropsevelt.
11. The new empire—modern San An
tonio, the metropolis of the southwest
—the wilderness is conquered—and
peace and plenty bless a happy people.
