EECHAM'S > PILLS~ fioxj Sick Héadaches ] Popular Interest in Subject Proved by Biggest Attendance at Hall Since 1894. ROXIE STAYS OVER TONIGHT |J New York Entertainers Given Ova- tion by Admirers Here. The popularity of radio in Wash- ington was conclusively proved last night, when 10,000 persons jammed their way into Convention Hall on the opening night of the first annual ra- F3 Speakers Urge Residents of the Various States Be Acquainted ‘With Conditions. An outline of the aid that state so- cieties can give in obtaining suffrage for the District of Columbia was told to the Illinois State Soclety last night, in_the ‘Women's City Club, by John 0. Berkley and 4. Bailey. Both speakers sald that acquainting residents in the several states with conditions existing in Washington, it was felt great good could be accom- plished. A musical program was a feature. Following an address by Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, daughter of Gen. John A. Logan, the Navy Band Orchestra ve a concert. Others appearing on the program were: Senor Di Glorglo, cornetist: Ralph Dermon, planist; Le- roy Bension, violinist; Mrs. Shick, in whistling novelties; Ralph Graves, planist, and Carl Smith and Prof. dio show, and between 4,000 and 5,000 | Oakes, in musical specialties. stood in line for several hours, hope- ful of gaining admission. Soon after the doors were thrown open the big auditorium was filled to capacity. About an hour later the ticket booths were closed by orders of Capt. Peck of the second precinct and fire marshals. After 8:15 o'clock tew additional radio fans were per- mitted to enter the building, and the thousands of persons who had stood in lines three and four deep around the outside of the hall were denied admission. It was the first time since 1894, when Moody and Sankey were conducting evangelistic services at the hall, that persons seeking admis- sion had to be turned away. Roxie Again Tonight. Those who were fortunate enough to get into the building remained throughout the evening in order to seé “Roxie” and “his gang” from the Capitol Theater in New York. It was about 10:20 o'clock when the troupe of vocal and instrumental artists, led by the famous radio impresario, reached the hall, where they were given a great ovatlon by the immense throng. The concert given by the Capitol Theater troupe was typical of those broadcast every Sunday night by WCAP and WEAF. “Roxie” and “his gang” will give the final concert in Washington at Convention Hall tonight, at 10 o'clock, after which they will return to New York. Fifty per oent of the proceeds of the radio show tonight will be turned over to the “Roxie” fund for the purchase of radio sets for the soldiers and sailors at Walter Reed Mount Alto and the naval hospitals, Special Admission Arranged. So great was the crowd last night that few of the visitors had an op- portunity to view all of the numer- ous exhibits on display. An equally large crowd is expected at the show tonight, and Alfred L. Stern, director, announced today that those who have purchased tickets in advance will be admitted immediately and not forced to stand in line as was the case last night. Dlstrlct Commissioner Cuno H. Ru- dolph, chairman of the board of Dis- trict Commissioners, officially opened the show with words of welcome to the exhibitors and stressing the pop- ularity of radio in Washington. Com. missioner Rudolph estimated that there are at least 75,000 radio receiv- ing sets in use in Washington. Fred S. Lincoln, general chairman of the committee in charge of the show, introduced Commissioner Ru- dolph, and paid a glowing tribute to Stern, the show director, and Wwilllam P. Boyer, president of the Radio Merchants' Assoclation, under whose auspices the show is being held. Service Ideal Upheld. “This show,” sald Mr. Lincoln, “is the visible evidence of the desire of our local radio merchants to openly, frankly and honestly assist the pub- lic with its radio problems. To that end only manufacturers of the high- est types of equipment have been in- vited to participate with us. These, together with the federal govern- ment, some private organizations al- lied with the radio. industry, and others are showing the latest achieve- ments thus far developed.” Other features last night were concerts by the United States Army Band, the Wilson Normal Glee Club, Pete Macias’ L'Aiglon Band and xylo- phone solos by Master Hen Gold- stein. The music was carried to the throng by loud speakers scattered throughout the hall. While success was anticipated by Mr. Stern and other officials of the show, the opening crowd far ex- ceeded their expectations and most enthuslastic hopes. Exhibitors who have been at radio shows In New York, Chicago and other cities said that the Washington exposition eclipsed them all. Following lhe meeting, a social ses- sion was held. TRAIL IN M’BRIDE MURDER CASE FAILS Grilling of Prisoners in Maryland Results in No Tangible Clue. Grilling of James J. Forsythe and Ernest Perry, prisoners in the Mary- land house of correction at Jessups, and a prisoner named Abbott, serving time in the Maryland state peniten- tiary, in an effort to get a tangible clue in the Barney A. McBride mur- der mystery, has failed to give De- tectives Kelly and Scrivener the slightest clue to a possible solution. Police said today the investiga- tion since the finding of the wealthy Oklahoma oll man's body near Mead- ows, Prince Georges county, Md., the morning of August 10, two years ago, has failed to reveal a single clue. One Important piece of informa- tion the police have failed to get is the whereabouts of' the victim the day before his mutilated body was found. Maryland authorities have participated in the investigation with the local authorities. Representative W. W. Hastings of Oklahoma, a personal friend of the deceased, " has informed Detectives Kelly and Scrivener that he is deeply interested in the murder investiga- tion and offered to assist them any way he can. e O Headlights and lightheads often come together on grade crossings. 20 Hoosier Cabinets DEVELOPMENT BILL House Measure Identical With That Already Reported Favorably in Senate. Chairman Luce of the House com- mittee of the library has introduced a bill providing for a comprehensive development of the parks and pl. ground system of the National Capital, This is identical with the Senate bill, which has already been reported favorably. In conference with House Leader Longworth, a delegation headed by \Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, engi- neer officer in charge of public bui'd- ings and grounds, argued that this legislation should be included in the constructive program for the District which House Leader Longworth and a subcommittée headed by Representa- tive Fred N. Zihlman from the House District committee is going to urge upon the republican steering commit- tee for passage at this session of €on- gress, The local committee, which includes leading business and professional and others prominent in civic affairs, was much encouraged by the interest which House Leader Longworth has taken in such a program for the Dis- trict. ‘Tghten up with EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
