- KELLY POSTAL BILL GIVEN HOUSE 0.K. Measure to Increase Pay and " Rates Passed Without Record Vote. The Kelly postal pay and rate in- crease bill was passed by the House without a record vote yesterday and gent to the Senate, where similar leg- islation had already been passed. The Senate bill, however, had been re- Jected by the House as an infringe- ment on the exclusive right of the House under the Constitution to initiate revenue-raising laws. Tt took only nbout two hours to pass this measure, which was called up under a special rule which limited de- bate, prevented amendments from the flogr and required a two-thirds ma- Jority for passage. This bill is expected to raise about $61,000,000 in revenue, which is about twice as much as the Senate bill con- templated. It falls short by only $7.000,000 of the sum estimated to be required to meet postal employes' salary raises, which it would make available from January 19, 1925, Rates are Temporary. a few scattering “noes” op- sage, although 97 mem- ers had voted against the method of bringing it up, As in the bill passed by the Senate, the rate section is intended to remain force onky made by a joint committee which is authorized to xtudy the whole postal rate structure With a view to permanent revision Representative Mo Republican Ohio, who reported the bill, empha sized that the right of full distribu- tion for newspapers and publications in the countries in which they are printed and published is not disturbed by this bill.

An increase in the appropriation for the operation of Howard Uni- versity was urged by Dr. Emmett J Scott, secretary-treasurer of the in stitution, in his report at the semi- annual meeting of the board of trustees vesterday in the board room of the Carnegie Library on the uni- versity campus.

The board appointed a committee to draft a resolution to express the loss to the university and the board in the death of Andrew F. Hilyer, late member of the board. The members later inspected the site where the new gymnasium, armory and athletic field will be located. Dr. Scott’s report showed that while the total assets of the university had increased $112,524.69 over the preced- ing vear and the valuation of the educational plant had increased as well as the endowment funds, the in- stitution’s needs also have increased and there is necessity for a larger sum for operating expens UNION-OWNED MINES ROW T0 BE TAKEN UP HERE West Virginia Issue Will Be Sub- ject of Conference Shortly, Green Announces.

BALTIMORE, Md., February 11— The discovery of a new antiseptic used recently in Johns Hopkins Hos- pital here to clear pu long-standing Infections of the kidneys and urinary tract, was elaborated upon at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health yesterday, following a preliminary announcement of the dis- covery by a medical journal. The new antiseptic, named hexylre- sorcinol, is sald to be 50 times as strong as carbolic acid in its power to kill disease germs, and vet so harmless to man that it can be swallowed without injury Dr. Veader Leonard, chairman of the clinical committee on internal antisepsis of the National Reserch Council, who developed the germicide in the Hopkins laboratories, said that he and his associates had spent 10 years in research to perfect it First Tried on Rabbits. first fed the antiseptic to Dr. Leonard sald.

The cures THREE LOCAL BILLS | FAVORABLY REPORTED Senate Committee 0. K.'s Building Height Limit, Rail and Insur- ance Code Measures. Three bills. one regulating the height of buildings in the District, another regulating * switching and switching charges on railroads in the District and the bill providing for a new insurance code in the District, were favorably reported by the Sen- ate District committee today. Two others, the extension of Ban- croft place and the bill authorizing the removal of the gates at the head of West Executive avenue, met with objections. The measure to provide for the elimination of the Lamond grade crossing at Takoma Park, D. C., and the Bill to enable the Rock Creek and Potomao Parkway Com- mission to complete the acquisition of land reauired for a connecting parkway were not acted upon, the committee desiring that both matters should be passed first by the House. The insurance bill will give the District for the first time since 1902 a complete insurance code. It has the approval of the superintendent of insurance and others. Regulating the height of buildings to 80 feet, the building height meas- sure exempts only churches which have been undertaken but not com- pleted prior to the passing of the act. Briefly, the switching bill provides that any railroad company having tracks in the District shall have the right to have freight transported by it and delivered upon the tracks of any other railroad upon the payment of a reasonable switching charge. WOUNDING OF DEPUTY DUE TO “EXCHANGE OF SHOTS” Shooting of Halid Pasha in Turk- ish National Assembly by Fel- low Member Disclosed. By the Associated Press. CONSTANTINOPLE, February 11.— Detailed accounts of the shooting in the Turkish National Assembly yes- terday show that Deputy Halid Pasha was wounded in an exchange of fir- ing with Deputy All of Afium Kara Hissar, and not by an unidentified person, as at first reported. Halid who was the more seriously wounded of the two, had a distin- guished military record, having com- manded a division against the Greeks with the rank of general. After the shooting the assembly engaged in a heated debate, in con- sequence of which it was decided to enforce the rule forbidding deputies to bear arms within the chamber's precincts.

The substance Is also be ing sent to a number of medical schools and hospitals throughout the country for additional tests. Resorcinol as Base. The researches, Dr. Leonard ex- plained, were started by using re- sorcinol, a substance very similar to carbolic acid in molecular structure and also poisonous, as a base. It was found that when certain chainlike groups of atoms known as fatty acids were linked up to a resorcinol mole- cule the germicidal power of the sub- stance was increased, while at the same time its poisonous effect on animals was lessened, and these ef- fects were found to increase steadily as longer chains of atoms were used. Dr. Leonard said that in the face of many difficulties the work has gone on, seeking to add chains of ever- increasing length to the resorcinol molecules. The goal was finally reached when a chain containing six groups was successfully linked up. At this point Dr. Leonard found that the poisonous qualities of the anti- septic reached a minimum, while its germicldal powers reached their maximum. ALIEN DEPORTATION LAW STRENGTHENED Violation of Dry Laws, or Physi Mental and Criminal Traits, Specified in Act. cal, By a vote of 213 to 39, the House late yesterday passed and sent to the Senate a bill making sweeping changes in deportation laws.

COURT BANS PUBLICITY ON RUM PRESCRIPTIONS Puts Curb on Paper When Phy- sicians and Patients in Missouri Capital Protest. By the Associated Press. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, February 11.—A temporary restraining order against the Jefferson City Daily Post, Heber Nations, publisher of the Post, and County Clerk Clem A. Dirck, pro- hibiting the publication of lists of persons to whom whisky tions have been issued, was granted by Judge Henry Westhues in the County Circuit Court here late yester- day. The petition asking the re- straining order was signed by near- Iy every physician in Jefferson City. The petition alleges that the laws which allow the publication of the names are in confiict and that they are unconstitutional, in that they in- fringe upon the right of secrecy be- tween physicians and patients. The Daily Post began last week to publish serially the names of per- sons obtaining whisky prescriptions here during the month of January. The names of State officials, State emploves, legislators and persons prominent socially in Jefferson City appeared on the lists. ALIENATION IS CHARGED. Mrs. R. M.

J prescrip- | CHALIAPIN'S BORIS ENTHRALLS CAPITAL Distinguished and Capacity Crowd Hears Chicago Com- pany in Russian Opera. Washington laid new laurels at the feet of Feodor Chaliapin, great Rus- slan singer, after hearing, for the first time in this city, a performance of Moussorgsky's “Boris Godounov,” presented at the Washington Audi- torium last night by the Chicago Civic Opera Company before a dis tinguished audience that packed the theater. Never before in the history of the city has such ability as a ¥singing actor” been displayed here. The man- ner in which Chaliapin actually lives the role of the mentally tortured czar is awe-inspiring. The climax of his scene in the second act, when, all alone on the stage, he held his au- dience enthralled, won a volume and quality of applause, with a number of curtains calls, that is rare in Wash- ington. Groups of citizens who streamed out during Mr. Chaliapin's biggest moments In the last act were severely criticized by those having more sense of the fitness of things. Played Role 400 Times. Although Mr. Challapin said yester- day that he has played this role of Boris for 20 years with more than 15 performances each year, making more than 400 performances in all, ha admits that it completely wears him out every time he does it. His two big arias, “I Have Attained the Power" and “Farewell of Borls,” were superb. “It is the soul of Russia—this role,” sald Mr. Chaliapin, “the czar is a tortured, bound spirit striving to rise above past misdeeds, and finally plac- ing the responsibility for this work in the hands of his small son, Feodor. My role of Mephisto, in ‘Faust,’ which I played here a few weeks ago, was the characterization of abstract ideas of evil; Czar Boris is a human being weighted with the burdens of an un- happy nation—a very different and difficult role to sing.” The title role was sung in Russian with consummate dramatic and musi- cal interpretation; the other roles were well sung in Ttallan. It seemed unfortunate that they could not be sung in English. Giorglo Polacco conducted, and, although at times his orchestra quite overbalanced the voices of the singers, he directed the accompaniments for even the softest pianissimo tones of the great basso with artistic skill. The chorus was remarkably fine, rising to helghts, musically and dramatically. The bal- let had a few charming moments in the nolonaise in the garden scene of the second act. Swarthout Siags Finely. Gladys Swarthout, young American, whose singing of the shepherd boy role in “Tannhauser” won praise. sang the difficult role of young Feodor, the czarevitch, with colorful dramatic work and a delightful bit of humor in the short scene with the nurse, a role well sung by Flora Perini, who did the “Parrot Song” with fine shading of dramatic and musical values. Elizabeth Kerr sang pleasingly the role of Xenia, young daughter of Boris, and Augusta Lensko as Marina, the czars older daughter, with whom the false Di- mitri was infatuated, has a large voice of good quality The love duet between her and Gregory, sumg by Antonio Cortds, tenor, was perhaps the one musical feature that did not gain all its beau- ty in glory reflected from the superb work of Chaliapin, who dominated all other scenes. Gregory's dream arla of the first act was finely sung, and gave interesting musical contrast to the drab monologue of Pimenn, the monk, sung by Virgilio Lazzari, whose tones were muffied in this number, but appared to advantage in his last aria, in which he warns the Czar. Alice D'Herranoy was excellent dramatically and vocally as the inn- keeper and Edouard Cotreuil and Lodovico Oliviero were fine in vaga- bond roles. Cotreuil's singing of Varlaam's drinking song and narra- tive, “In the Town of Kazan’” was brilliant. Romeo Boscacci was a con- vincing Bumpkin and Jose Mofica was imposing in the role of Prince Shuisky. Others who sang solo roles were Willlam Beck, Louis Derman, Giuseppe Minerva, Gildo Morelato and Antonio Nicolich. Story of Political Plot. The story of “Boris Godounov” is sald to have been inspired by the famous drama written by Pushkin, master writer of the Russiaps. It tells of a political intrigue in which a young czarvitch was murdered, to give Boris the throne. Remorse for this deed, however, weighs heavily on the Czar's mind. ' Gregory, a young man in the monastery, who hears the old monk Pimenn tell of the misdeeds of Boris, dreams that Dimitri, the murdered prince, returns. Inspired by his dream, Gregory pretends to be Dimitrl and wins a following among the peasant folk. He loves Boris' daughter and prom- ises to make her Queen. Borls, crazed by remorse and the taunts of his enemies, dies, leaving his young |son, Feodor, to be Czar.

There are wonderful folk tunes in the melodiés and the hand of Rimsky- Korsakoff in arranging Moussorg- sky's score is visible. Taken from every angle, this is a work that leaves a vivid, singing impression upon the mind, with Chaliapin as its embodiment. The settings and cos- tumes were beautiful. The next performance by the com- pany will be “Lucia di Lammermoor,” sung in Italian, Friday night, with the following singers in_leading roles Toti dal Monte as Lucla.

Beauty is overtaking the American village, according to ob- servations of the Department of Agriculture in a current study of vil- lage planning and its benefits. Although nearly 20,000,000 persons live in American villages and a farm- ing population of 30,000,000 largely depends upon them for business, educational and social purposes, the department found, they are “usually unattractive and often very ugly, suf- fering by comparison in this respect with those of other countries. The start that is being made toward im- provement and beautification has proven in every case, it was sald, a material asset as well as an esthetic one. i Pointing out that “as the farmer's chief point of contact with outside interests, the village can make a big contribution to the happiness of farm life,”” the department asserted that an attractive village with good streets and convenient approaches and recreation spots was “an im- portant influence in stabilizing farm life and counteracting the attractions of citles for the young people of the farm.” HERRIOT TO BE QUIZZED ON RIOT AT MARSEILLE drab Catholics Blame Socialist Mayor for Fight Ending in Death of Two.

That case was nolle prossed when called after two of the prosecuting witnesses had been “kidnaped,” as charged by the State. From there the cases were sant to Greenbrier County, where Blizzard was tried on a conspiracy charge and the jury disagreed. Indications that the prosecution would not be pushed Wwas seen months ago in the appoint- | ment of special counsel for the State, also moved to quash cases in Kana- wha County against some of the lead- ers. The cases have been so con- gested on the docket here that they have been merely listed as against “Velasco Carpenter and others.” The motion to nolle was made by Prose- cuting Attorney John T. Porterfield, the defense being representated by Attorney James M. Mason, local coun- sel retained by the miners. Trial of the cases here created the greatest sensation that Charles Town has known in 10 years. Attendance of principals, witnesses, counsel and spectators overran the town, and it was a job to find accommodations. Dismissal of the cases was the last official act written by Judge J. M. Woods, who presided at the trials, as jurist in this county, Judge Woods retiring from the bench March 1 to engage in the practice of law at Charleston. KLANSMEN TO BE COPS.
