was prolmble thnt it could net be proved
that force was used te tuke the "boys"

Statements of the "boys," whi., ac
cording te Welfare Department efflcinls
runee in nge from eighteen te forty,
were te the effect that they had been
Induced te go te Turtle Creek by prom-'
Imw nf liich waces "and a eoed time."
The return of the fourteen State wards
te Columbus marks the conclusion of
months of effort, it was said at the
Welfare Department. The situation first
as brought te light here last August
and xtnee that time negotiations with
vnrietm branches of the Pennsylvania
Btnte government have been carried en.
After conferences with various a.gen
cie, co-npuiatien of the Pennsylvania
Btnte police was assured, it was said,
and the rnid plunued In order that long
rie!aM through court action might b?
avoided.
Today the "boys" were back at the
Institution here and working en the
Jobs they had before they departed.
The Ohie tigents snid last night that
the raid hiih a consequence of official
(leclnriitleiis that the young miners were
wards of Ohie nnd were working for
low wages under "terrible conditions."
Sergeant Creps, one of the ngeuttt, sata
he made it perianal inspection two days
before the rnid and confirmed the
charges.
"Seteinl days age," said Sergeant
tiep, "1 went te the enrep te nscer

that of Iiarra In the great love scene

with that of Mme. Klinova in the beau
tiful duet in the second act. Mme.
Mlura has evidently made a very care
ful study of the part both from the
nationalistic nnd the operatic stand
point, as her finished performance
shows.
Mr. Barra was fairly geed as Lieu
tenant Plnkerten, better perhaps in
voice than in the action, although the
role is both difficult and ungrateful.
Anita Klinova made an excellent Suzuki
and did especially geed work with the
ducts with Clo-Cle-San as well as act
ing the role well. Marie Valle, who
substituted for Richard Benelll, was
thoroughly satisfactory in this part, as
he is in all the roles of his large reper
toire, and Pietre tie Binsl made the
most of the short but intense purt as
signed te the Bense.
The orchestra played the difficult
music well, and the stage settings were
