DIVES OF PARIS RAIDEDNIGHTLY Police Continue Cleanup Begun for Legion. £l pikßls! Dec* 16.—Paris hnc no! been the same since the American Legion came and went again. The crusade of the new chief of Paris police, M. Chiappe, to clean up Paris for the Legion visitors, has not let up even though the tardiest Legionnaire has embarked for home weeks ago. Police raids at surprising hours and in surprising quarters of the city continue nightly and the results are seen In the thinned ranks of guides, naughty postcard sellers and pain tea women on the boulevards. The police were surprised by the results of their raids. Men they had been searching for years, army deserters hunted since the war, thousands of foreigners living outside the law, and dealers in drugs, whiteslavers and apaches fell into the police nets nightly. So rich were the hauls that M. Chiappe has ordered the nightly raids continued and promises to have Paris on its good behavior again, as it has not been since the war.

HUM VERGERISCORES AGAIN IN OPERA Emilia Vergeri, dramatic soprano of the New York Grand Opera Company and ranking member of the organization in my opinion because of her voice and tremendous dramatic ability, scored again last night

as Donna Leonora in Verdi’s “La Forza Del Destino.” This opera has never been given before in this city and it is rarely if ever given on tour. New York has had it at frequent intervals. Here is violent dramatic opera concerning Leonora and her unfortunate love affair with Don Alvaro. Slvaro accidentally kills Leonora’s father while the couple were planning to elope. Then Don Carlos, son of the murdered man, swears revenge upon the murderer. Leonora dons male attitre and goes into seclusion near a monastery. Alvaro goes into the army and under a different name joins the same regiment with Don Carlos. Alvaro is injured and Carlos discovers his real identity when he finds a picture of Leonora. Alvaro goes to the monastery near which Leonora has found quiet. Don Carlos follows and forces Alvaro to

fight a duel in which Carlos is mortally wounded. Don Carlos calls his sfeter to him as he is about to die and stabs her. Leonora asks forgiveness for Alvaro and he drops sobbing by her side as she dies. I repeat the argument of the opera because I have been asked by several readers of this department to do so. One can easily see that much of the music has the beauty of the church of that period. It is in the second act that Leonora and the Abbot have some beautiful numbers, together and as solos. It was in this scene that Miss Vergeri as Leonora reached splendid emotional heights and her voice became really spiritual while singing both “Sull’ Alba II Piede” with Miguel Santacana as the Abbbot and during “Madre, Madre” with with the chorus. The chorus was splendid in this act. The work of Vergeri last night coupled with that on Tuesday when she was heard in “Cavalleria” convinces me that in this woman we have a great artist, true as to voice and gifted with a dramatic sense which is seldom found among opera singers on tour and at that often in the larger operatic centers. Bocca Fusco was the Don Alvaro and Martino Rossi the Don Carlos. Both were splendid, especially In the battle scene and in the scene prior to the duel. Fusco was magnificent in his last moments with Leonora. Elizabeth Hoeppel was heard as Prezicsilla. Splendid as usual. Tonight “Othello” will be heard with Muriella Cianci, Elizabeth Hoeppel, Bocca-Fusco and Ciro De Ritis. Saturday matinee bill will be

"Aida” with Anna Turkel in the title role at English’s. Many people are passing up big music done in a big way. Other theaters today offer: Jim McWilliams at Keith’s; Parisian Red Heads at the Lyric; “East Side, West Side” at the Circle; Don and Mazie Dixon at the Colonial; “Irresistible Lover” at the Ohio; “Two Arabian Knights” at the Indiana; “The Gay Defender” at the Apollo; burlesque at the Mutual and “The Swell Head” at the Isis.

BEACH,CONVICTED OF KILLING, HOLDS TO CAR Candy Bribe Fails to Move Man Sentenced in Slaying. Bu Times Svccial ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. 16. —A box of candy failed to humor Willis Beach sufficiently yesterday to enable an automobile dealer to regain possession of the famous blue sedan which the police said was used in connection with the Lilliendahl slaying.

John B. Posunato, Vineland motor dealer, visited Beach in the Mays Landing Jail and after giving the poultryman the sweetmeats, endeavored to get a release on the car. Beach has paid only $175 on the auto, which is valued at $1,442, according to the dealer, although a note was executed for $447. Beach, it is understood, contends that the car was illegally confiscated by the police and has threatened to take legal action against the authorities. It is now parked in the State police barracks at Hammonton.
