Walsh, as counsel for the Irish republic, issued last night a rejoinder to the statement of the British embassy made in reply to the report of the commission of the com- mittee of one hundred- investigating conditions in Ireland. He characterized the British state- ment as a “gross perversion of facts™ and challengod Ambassador Geddes to appear before the commission, or some _international tribunal and pre- sent his evidence to disprove the com- mission’s findings on penalty of being branded by Mr. Walsh as “a wilful and malicious falsifies “The gross perversion of facts in Ambassador Geddes' statement,” Mr. Walsh said, “is proved not omly by the public statements of distinguish- ed British statesmen. who have in- vestigated conditions in Ireland, but also by the admissions of Premier Lloyd George and Sir Hamar Green- ‘Wwood in the house of commons. “The British ambassador has se- lected the public press for his an- swer to the evidence of eye-witness- es. who appeared before the commis- sion.

Y, April 2— At least twenty-eight alleged begus divorces and annulments are known to have been sold by Herbert F. Miller, now being sought as the alleged oper- ator of a “divorce mill” in Manhattan, Assistant District Attorney Walter Ferris announces. District Attorney Lee Davis said that a clerk employed by Miller had given hifa further evidence and that indictments would be sought against Miller on charges of forgery in the second degree, perjury and the mis- demeanor of practicing law in this state without being admitted to the bar here. The clerk told-pewspapermen that Miller had a staff of ten girls to act AMUSEMENTS] Paul Kochanski a Genius. Paul Kochaneki, Polish violin genius, astonished and thrilled an audience which filled the National Theater yes- |lerday afterncon to hear the last of the ten star concert series of this season. Mr. Kochanski, who has been in this country little more than a month, came with modest advance trumpeting, and the ‘music lovers and connoisseurs were startied at his complete mastery of the violin—his great, rich tone, and a tech- nic 8o dazzling, 5o clean, that it would be difficult to name his superior. He is in the class of the greatest violinists. He is young. dignified to the degree al- most of staiellness, with a paramount respect for and love of his art, and he is without mannerisms. 5 The opening number was the Vivaldi “Concerto in A Minor,” arranged by Nachez, which he played with a ma- jestic breadth of tone—vigoreus, rich and -clear. His second number was a | group of three short compositions ar- ranged by Kreisler. The first, a Gluck melodie, he played delightfully, bringing out its quaint, classic beauty. But it lwu not until he” had played the two g others, Francoeur's “Sicilllano et Rigou- don” and Pugnani's “Praeludium et Al- legro,” that his astonished hearers real- ized they were listening to an artist of superb accomplishment. His technic in pianissimo is wonderfuily beautiful and his trill has not been surpassed, even if equaled, in the memory of the present generation. What he accomplished vesterday in harmonics and staccatos have seemed almost beyond the range of the possi- bilities. He made exquisite trills and roulades where scores of good Vio- linists can scarcely make a tone. En- thusiasm knew almost no bounds, bravos and stamping of feet pre- dominating, but the young artist did not break the continuity of the pro- gram with encores. Appredation of his brilliant work in Saint-Saens’ “Rondo Capriccioso” was shown in the middle of the composi- tion by enthusiastic appliuse. The familiar Chopin “Nocturne,” arranged Y § oR as “co-respondents” when the fake divorces were framed up. “A lot of the people who came to Miller for divorces,” he added, “agreed to help him conduct this fake system.” The olerk said he did not know positively whether there was a chain of *“divorce mills” throughout the country. ‘Word was recelved here that offi- cials and clerks in the undefended divorce part of the oklyn supreme court were convinced that Miller has been working. the same game in Brooklyn. An investigation, it was stated, will be made at once of all the undefended divorces granted in Brook- lyn in the last two years. According to one clerk, there have been several inquiries during the last few days from persons asking for “Lawyer Miller”” When asked why they wanted to see “Lawyer Miller” they invariably became evasive, but seemed worrie by Sarasate, was beautifully played in tone, trills and poetic interpreta- tion, and Sarasate’s Spanish dance, “Zapateado,” was brilliant in its deli- cacy and harmonics. The Kreisler “Caprice Viennoise” was something of a disappointment, for the muted strings seemed to lack in vitality and warmth. The Wieniawskl “Le C: aval Russe” was a spectacular close ‘to a brilliant program. 1t was played with dash and vivid color and was descriptive of the vari-colored atmos- phere of a Russian carnival. ‘The only encore Mr. Kochanskl granted was a “Berceuse,’ by Nat- alie Townsend, which he played with rare tendern drawing with his bow. almost human tones depicting all emotions, and bringing moisture to_many eye 7 Mrs. Townsend, known' in social circles of Washington as Mrs. Law- rence Townsend, i8 a composer of dis- tinction, and is herself an accomi- plished musician.

MERE'S SIATEEN MoRE BRICK, | THAT'S THE STUEE! WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH ]APANESE S“RRE[] Anti-Bolshevist Forces Lose _F ight to Control Vladivostok ISARMAMENT BYD Large Crowds Follow Yukio 0zaki, Exponent of Mili- tary Curtailment. TOKIO, April 2—Large audiences greet Yukio Ozaki everywhere as the celebrated parliamentarian tours the country to awaken public support for, his project of an international agree- j ment in naval and military curtailment. The Osaka Mainichi notes that the big crowds at the Ozaki meetings in Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto show how earnest the public is to learn some- thing about the big question at issue. Fees are charged for admission to the lectures and the Mainichi thinks that the large attendance despite the en- trance charge is-an “important sign of the time and indicates which way the wind is blowing.” The money raised is to be devoted to educational objects among students. Intcrviewed after one of the meet- ings by a reporter of the dapan Chronicle, Mr. Ozaki said that Amer- ica, England and Japap should enter into a plan for the reduction of arma- ments, and he hoped that America i would make the first proposal within the ‘next few months. In the event that the United States fail to make this proposal, then Mr. Ozaki believed that Japan should take the initiative, “When the agreement is made,” he | added, “it will be kept. Besides, ac- cording to the eighth article of lhal league of mations covenant, all na- tions have promised a reduction of armaments, and this must be carried out through the league. “What rcason did the members of the house of representatives give for ‘turning down' your proposal for re- duction of armaments?” he was asked. *“They did not give any real reason— said that the time was not ripe. Some army men stood up and made speeches which I could see no meaning in. Afterward some of the members came to me and said that their ideas were the same as mine, but still they voted against me. Their sentiment of hat- ing_me seems to be stronger than their sentiment of love of country.” The iffterviewer mentioned that it appeared that a large proportion of the taxes were expended for military purposes. “Would you like me to give you the exact figures?” Mr. Ozaki exciaimed. | “Our direct taxes total 750,000,000 yen, and the amount for the present fiscal year which we are spending on the | army and navy is 760,000,000 yen, or 10,000,000 more than our direct taxes amount to.” Direct taxes are not, of course, he explained, the government’s only means of revenue. There are ifi addition_the railway, post office and {elegraphs, tobacco and salt monopo- es. With reference to his recent expul- sion from his party, Mr. Ozaki stated that this had been done because he had been ‘“naughty from a party point of view,” or,as the French say, “he was an enfant terrible.” LUMBER PRICES FALL.- Depression in Industry Worst Ever Enown, Says D. C. Man. CHICAGO, L, April 2. — Lumber production costs still cling to their high levels in spite of the fact that more- than half of the mills now run- ning are doing so at a loss, Wilson Compton of Washington, D. C., secre- tary and manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers’' Association, told delegates to the annual lumber congress today. Mr. Compton said the twelve months just passed witnessed the most pre- cipitate decline from the peak of in- flation to the depths of depression ever experienced in the Tumber industry. “Prices at the mills have declined more in the last year than they went up in the preceding three” he said. “A year ago there were many orders, but “few cars; today there are many cars, but few orders.” PLANS FOR PERMANENCY.

TOKIO, April 1.—Attempts by anti- bolshevik elements to gain control of the city of Vladivostok have resulted n failure, according to official advices received here: { The incident was the outgrowth of terday. morning, but had not proceed- ed very long before officials of the Japanese garrison ordered the bel- ligerents to cease firing and disarm. This order was obeyed, and dispatch- es from Vladivostok state that at present. the situation is not consid- ered serious. The incident was the otgrowth of an intrigue of the anti-socialists to seize the_city, with the help of the remnants of the forces formerly com- manded by Gen. Kappel, anti-bolshe- vik leader in Siberia, it is said, in special dispatches to this city. The authorities, however, had been in- formed of the conspiracy and took precautions against a serlous upris- ng. Some of the attacking forces arriv- ed by ‘steamer, and opened the en- gagement at several points, notably near the railway station and around the fortress. They were disheartened, it is said, by the failure of the 2,500 militiamen in the city to join them, as was expocted. As they were arm- ed with only bombs and pistols, the attacking forces were soon dispersed by machine guns in the hands of the defenders of Vladivostok. There were a few casualties, two Japanese soldiers having been wounded by stray bullets. The commander of the attacking party and several reactionary lead- ers have been arrested.

GILBERT GROSVENOR. ~A land of flowers, blue sea and red soil, where there are no poisonous ! weeds, no snakes and no poisonous | insects—such was the “lovely and en- terprising Hawail,” as described by Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic Society, before members of the society last evening at the New Masonic Temple. Mr. Grosvenor showed some of the most remarkable slides seen in Wash- ington, colored from photographs taken by himself and his friends, and motion pictures also were shown which _penetrated to the cal- dron of the setthing Kilauea. The crater of Mauna Loa, “the youngest volcano now threatening io bury its parent, Kilauea,” and Haleakala, in whose crater the entire island of Manhattan could be contained, were pictured. Mr. Grosvenor explained why the most isolated islands of the Pacific are of such great economic and poli- tical importance. He recoupted the fascinating story of their original in- habitants, and told of the remarkable variety of racial strains to be found among their present people. No billboards mar the beauty of the islands, he said, because the women declined to patronize merchants who used that form of advertising. The industries, the flora, the can- yons and other beauties were described and pictured. — Deflation has resulted in a reduc- tion of more than $36,000,000 in Kansas state bank deposits, as com- pared with one year ago, according to a statement by the state bank com- missioner. 1 —we are y Painting, Paperhanging or Upholstering.

CREFELD, Germany, Leading communists in April 1 — the Crefeld district to the number of 281 were ar- rested last night and early today by the Belgian military authoritics. The latter hold the communists responsi- ble for ordering a strike of 30,000 workmen and inciting rioting. The arrests were made after a con- ference between the Belgian premier and the allied high commissioner. The Belgians have the situation well in hand and do not expect further trouble. A Coblenz dispatch of Wednesday told of communist uprising in Moers and Crefeld, in the Belgian zone of occupation, which resulted in clashes, in which casualties were inflicted on the communists. The whole Belgian zone was in a state of ferment, the dispatch said. —_———— PRICE OF FISH DROPS. Big Catches of Hardheads Flood Local Market. Net fishermen, at various points along the Chesapeake bay and lower Potomac river are making immense catches of hardheads, and so great has been the supply in the local markets this_week that the price dropped to 25 cents a bushel. The price of the hardheads resulted in de- creasing the prices of other fish, in- cluding shad, rockfish, carp and cat- fish. > Roe shad sold at wholesale for 95 cents, while bucks brought 30 cents. Carp, weighing flve pounds or more. sold for 25 cents. Last year they brought 75 cents. Rockfish were quoted at 15 cents a pound. No large catches of shad or herring have been made in the lower Potomac thus far this son. Fishermen say it is early for big catches, but expect they will be more plentiful in the next two weeks. It is probable that a number of anglers will visit places on the sait water tomorrow and Sunday. Many such fish are being caught in the nets off Chesapeake Beach. FURTHER ACTION UNDECIDED.
