As the | BUILDING PROBE WILL BE PRESSED lSenator King Insists That Al- leged Combine Here Be Investigated. Prompt investigation into the al- leged reports of criminal combina- tions among builders and build- Ing material.men, as well as lnbor.l in the District of Columbia is to be pressed by Senator King of Utah, the latter said yesterday. Senater King sald that unless an investigation is instituted very soon by the United States attorney for this District, he would take the mat- ter up direct with Attorney General Daugherty and seek to have that official direct the local District attorney to Institute an inquiry immediately. More Evidence Gathered. Information continues to pour into Senator King's office from various sources pointing more strongly, he believes, to combinations here which are keeping up the price of property and delaying building of homes. These reports, he pointed out, can- not be ignored, and he intends, he said, to see that a thorough inves- tigation s instituted, to the end that the real facts may be brought out, and, if criminal culpability is found, to bring those responsible before the courts for trial. Senator King said that he under- stood that the local district attorney, to whom he presented several days ago Information in his possession pointing to the existence of combina- tions in the building industry, has! Just completed the investigation inj the increase in the cost of bread. As soon as this is finished, he said, he was given to understand that im- mediate and aggressive steps would be taken to probe the building in- dustry. Ho said that he is. watching closely for an nouncement of some action, and thdt if it is not forth- coming in a short time he will carry the matter higher. Will Ask Special Probers. He said that he planned next week to ask Attorney General Daugherty to assign some special assistants to help the local district attorney in probing the alleged charges of col- lusion among the building men. Senator King left for New York yesterday to keep & speaking engage- ment tonight. before the Far West Traveling Men’s Assoclation. While there, he said, he.wlll confer wi Samuel Untermeyer, who handled the} investigation of the Lockwood com-y imittee into the building combinations f{in New York. Senator King said he hoped to get much information from Mr. Untermever, which will assist in pursuing the investigation here. Upon his return he will have an- other conference with District At- torney Gordon and impart to him the information received from Mr. Unter- meyer, and which he hopes to be of much value in developing facts here. ——— “STRONG AS THE HILLS” FAVORABLY RECEIVED of Interhigh-School Cast in I Playlet for Playgrounds. Miss Ada Loulse Townsend's dram- atization of the little story by Mata- | lee Lake, “As Strong as the Hills” which was produced at Central High School this week, has received wide and favorable comment. ‘The success of the playlet by the inter-high school cast speaks well for ing to Marie Moore Forrest, acted as director. Mrs. Forrest is lavish in her praise of the energy, ability and unselfish |effort that the student players dis- | played in giving the play for the benefit of the public school play- grounds, and is of the opinion that it will help to inspire further literary and dramatic effort in the high schools. ‘Anna Herford,and Katherine Gault, in the parts of Zorista and Haid were as charming as they were dra- matic. The clever work of Ralph Robertson, George Anadale, Clark Beach, Alfred McGarraghy, Dennis Connell and Samuel R. White stood out well above the efforts usually dis- played by amateurs, and won many rounds of applause. Greek and Persian soldiers, rose maids, cushion bearers, train bearers and attendants and romantic cos- tumes produced a delightful back- ground that was colorful and his- toricly correct. Gladys Wilbur, assisted by Mary Butterfleld, Helen Ault, Dorothy Kelly and Donna Smith, as Persian dancers, proved to be one of the most attractive features of the pro- gram. Fairy-like draperies and youthful grace lent their interpre- tations .distinctive charm. . —_— SYNAGOGUE AND SCHOOL ASSURED FOR SOUTHEAST Talmud-Torah to Be Built at 417 9th Street—Conceived by Rev.
