CHARGES NISTAKE BARS SCHOOL AD ‘Peyser Says Corporation Counsel and Board Are Wrong on Secrecy. Citizens of the District are being handicapped In their fight for better {schoois by a serlous mistake of the i corporation counsel and the board of leducation in interpreting the Dis- trict law, it was charged today by fCapt. Julius I Peyser, president of {the Public School Association. By ruling that preliminary requests ifor school improvement and expan- sion shall be kept secret until the final estimates are published by Con- gress, the board s inhibiting the ¢fforts of the school assoclation's committees, Mr. Peyser sald. “Unl the corporation counsel shall modify his decision on more careful consid- eration, our association will ask for a spectal ruling from Congress itself on the subject, he “Heads of departmcnts cannot make budget estimates within the meaning of the law.

Peyser said. The law which has caused the trouble refers to the District Commissidhers only, and follows: “Hercafter the Commissioners of the District of Co.umbia shall not submit, nor shall the Secretary of the Treasury transmit to Congress regular annual es- timate for expenses of the government of the District of Columbia for- any fiscal year that shall exceed in the ag- sregate a sum equal to twice the amount of the total estimated revenues of the District_of Columbia for such fiscal year, Said estimates shall take into consideration and embrace all charges egainst the said revenues arising under appropriations other than the reguiar District of Columbia biil.

Disposition of the building appears 1o be as deeply velied in uncertainty as ever. ) Mrs. W. B. Meloney, head of the Dbétter homes movement, following a conference at the White House with President _Coolidge, which had been dedicated by Presi- dent Harding as the ideal of better home life in America, had been glven | to the Girl Scouts, to be used as a| natlonal clubhouse for the order. With ny promises made, however, to Col. C. O. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, that the house wouid be moved from its temporary location it developed that the latest proposal seemed not yet to have received the final “0. K.” of the Girl Scouts' or- ganization, according to local oMclals of that order. Col. Sherrill said the building was fllegally occuping its present site and the law prohibited such occupancy of government land except temporarily It was understood that the maftter would be brought officially before the national executive board of the Girl Scouts In New York city, November 16, when Mrs. Herbert Hoover, head of the Girl Scouts, could be present. Rumors that the building might be located on a plot of ground near the Red Cross bullding providing that the Girl Scouts accepted It, were of a most uncertain . nature today with some officials declaring the building could not be moved to the Red Cross 1ot becauso the government held title to the land. Others held, however, that there would be no prohibition in Jaw to a site on the Red Cross grounds. DR. MERVIN W. GLOVER, G. U. GRADUATE, DIES Dr. Mervin W.

The chancellor belleves that the swiftly liquidated insurrection has been @ valuable asset to German: abroad, demonstrating even Bavaria' determination to defend the German republic against attacks from within, That aemilitarist of the “malled flst’ variety typified by Gen. Ludendorft should permit himself to be led away as a culprit implicated in a miniature beer {hall revolution ealtcrnately _provokes | amusement and disgust in official and | political quarters, and while the military }leaders who were formerly assoclated | with_nim on the German general staff | are inclined to give him thelr sympathy, | they express amasement that an officer {of his rank and military antecedents should have submitted to such-humilia- tion as was heaped upon him yesterday. A ranking officer in such. a predicament in any other country would have com- mitted suicide, say many of those who | formerly were inclined to hold a brief | for the general. Nevertheless, official quarters are convinced that Ludendorft has now been eliminated definitely from | German internal politics regardiess of the further trend of the relations be- tween Berlin and Munich. Opinion here holds that Ludendorft is gullty of high treason, under which | charge he 1s answerable to the speclal { court established for the defense of the republic. In this case he would face a severe prison sentence, or even the { death penalty. | "The central government so far ha: | abstained from interfering with Dic- {tator von Kahr and the other Bava- jrian authorities while they are en- gaged in stamping out the last j smoldering ' sparks of the short-lived | revolt. Reports from Munich and other points in Bavarla indicate that the federal troops were completely out of sympathy with Hitler and Luden- | dorfl, a fact which contributed ma- { teriaily to enabling von Kahr and von 1 Lossow to regain authority for them- selves and for the von Knilling gov- ernment. A long official statement has come out of Munich designed to convince the public that Dr. von Kahr, Gen. von Lossow and other Bavarian offi- cials entered into the plans of the Hitlerites only under duress. “They were compelled at the point of a pistol to co-operate,” says the statement, “and they gave the assur- ances required of them because they were convinced that only united ac- tion would secure the maintenance of Bavarian state authority. Their as- sent apparently was given with the object of regaining their freedom of action. ! “The public w {coercion employe 'The statement adds that radio mes- sages were sent out at 1 o'clock Fri- day morning stating that Dr. Von Kahr_and Gen. von Lossow had re- jected the putsch, their consent to it i having been extracted forcibly. In a subsequent proclamation the dictator complained that there had been “odi- ous.oppression” and that the extorted declarations were invalid. The communique closes with the assertion that the guilty will be pun- ished and that the national socialist party and similar orgznizations will be_dissolved. Until all points connected with the revolt have been thoroughly cleared up, it is expected that the parliamen- tary situation in Berlin, now ve: much confused, can not be untangl i ignorant of the LANDS 71 IN TOILS!

Caught at Last. Ever since, while organizing civil war, Ludendorff has put the respon- sibility on others, but the trap in which he thought he had von Kahr turned out to be a trap for Luden- dorff. For the first time he was caught publicly in an act of high treason and, what is worse to the Germane, he made a miserable mess of it. ‘The long rivalry between the Bavarian and the bl German—the -blue and white and the red, black and white— sections of the Gérman nationalist gov- ernment_was supposed to have been healed by the virtual submission of Hitler to von Kahr. A combination in this form was {rresistible. Von Kahr's steam roller was working with terrific efficlency against the Stresemann re- publicans, the moderates and especially the socialists. It was only a question of days when a national dictatorship—in fact, it not in name—would be estab- ‘Then the vain Hitler, having no un- derstanding _of politics and thinking only of dramatic acts and grandiloquent language, became restive and planned the schoolboy stunt of Thursday night in the Burgenbrau beer hall. This was quite in_ ki though few respansible. Not a Real Leader. He was not regarded by the monarch- ists as a real leader like Mussolini (as he imagined himself). He was_ really only the platform man of the movement. His indisputable talent as a speaker was valuable. His power to arouse enthusiasm, faith and hate was unequaled by any other German agitator. But his ex- travagant lgnguage and promises re- vealed that he had no conception of political realities. > The reslly able men, like Capt. Ehr- hardt, Gen.. von Lettow and Col. Bauer, who were more or less asso- clated’ with the Hitler organisation, ‘were unable to prevent his verbose incompetenca from dominating, and finally rulning, the movement. The whole performance could have happened only in present-day Ger- many or in the operas of Gilbert and Sullivan. The spectacle of these of German unity and honor double-crossing each other does not inspire much reverence for the mon- archist idea, but It {s unquestionable that von Kahr emerges from the a. fair with greatly increased personal prestige. The Struggle between norih and south Germany has been resumed where it was left off. Von Kahr, now rid of a dangerous ally, will start the -eam roller moving again: RITES FOR MRS. DE MOLL.

Phone Is Dlaconnected. Immediately upon fecelpt of the message, proprietors of the lunch- room disconnected the telephone wires in the establishment, making it impossible for bootleggers to trans- act business there last night. It is deemed certaln, however, that cut- ting out the one telephone did not serve to put the bootleggers out of business, there being any number of public telephones in that immediate neighborhood. Sergt. F. S. W. Burke of the first precinct, working under directions of apt. E. W. Brown, served notice on the ' lunchroom 'proprietors two months ago that the place was sus- pected of being visited by bootleg- gers, who were reported to have been doing business over the telephone. Proprietors of the lunchroom _dia- { claimed knowing of any bootleg" op- erations in their place of business, | but assured the sergeant they would do all in thelr power to prevent such persons from operating there. Martin J. McHugh, member of the fim, told a Star reporter that he knew absolutely nothing of any boot- & business done over the telephone in_the lunchroom. % “The public phone is in a booth, he stated, “and only the person using the telephone could possibly know jwhat transpired -in it.” Refers to Suspects. MeHugh 8aid, after “his attention { was called to the alleged bootleg op- |'erations, he was able to recall four or five persons using the telephone who possibly were in the bootleg business. They ate In the lunchroom and were about there from time to time, indicating, he thought, = that they had no employment. - “But what thelr business was.” he ‘added, “I did not know. As soon as I _got the letter yesterday I discor nected the wires and am_willing to od-operate with the authoritles in thelr efforts to put a stop to the bueiness.” Maj. Danfel Sullivan, superintend- ent of police, this morning told a Star reporter that the bootleg situa- tion .mentioned in the complaint was & ‘matter for the precinct police. In- view of ‘the fdct that it was represented that the police knew o the -identity of the bootleggers, friends of the lunchroom proprietors expressed surprise that the violators of the law had not been apprehended. It is sald to be the intention of McHugh and Brown to keep their telephone wires disconnected in an effort to prevent a possible bootleg business from bding conducted from their lunchroom. —_—— ‘WOMARN DIES AT 106.

AMUSEMENTS Salvi and the Buncan Dancers. _Alberto Salvi, young Italian harp- ist, gave Washingtonians an unusual treat at Poll's Theater yesterday. aft- ernoon, where he appeared in joint recital with the three Duncan dancers, | Lisa, Margo and Anna, before a large audience. | _Salvi ‘seems absolute master of every string on his instrument, from the delicate and tinkling treble to the deepest bass. Many of his composi- | tions required and. seceived a subtie- ness of touch and shading that made ithem exquisite music pastels. There jWwere Debussy’s “Am Meer” and his “Arabesque” (given as the only en- ). Chopin’s “Impromptu” Danse Orientale.” the lovellest numbers was Salyl's own arrangement of “Louis XVI Minuet." His arrangement of Appommas’ ‘““Tar- antelle,” Schnecker's Impromptu” and Poenitz's “Norweglan Ballade” com- pleted his program. The three Duncan dancers were as dainty and graceful as three figures gtepped from the frieze of a Wedge- | wood vase. They showed Ik wevery number the minute attention to de- tall which 1s especlally characteris- itic of puplls of the great Isadora, Not a pose but had fine, weli balanced lines, with particularly exquisite hand and arm movement. The bas-relief yldea was carried out in nearly every ensemble number, with pure Greek oftect, combining well considered steps with artistic spontaneity. There was {little attempt at strictly individual interpretation of the moods of the music, but rather co-ordination in a strongly unified impression of the story told by the dancers, and alwo with a serles of beautifully balanced pictures. The first group of dances told the story of the companions of Orpheus mourning at the tomb of Eurydice. Tralling gray vells were well handled in this number, and formed even .con- trast with the scanty flaming cos- tumes in the danse des furies. The purple costumes the middie num- ber carried njcely the suggestion of the transition from gloom to bac- chanalian fury. The final Elysian fields dance was {nterpretative of still another contrasting mood. the second group only whimsical pla; dances were attempted. They were different from the more poetic and somber Greek numbers, yet ag full of precise artistry and colorful spl Both Gluck's and Mozart's music w played by a pianist who harmonized his playing perfectly to the move- the dancers.
