M Blanton said this measure has the ap- proval of the District Commissioners. the Citizens’ Advisory Council and the Washington Board of Trade.

In reply fo a question from Mr. Blanton if anv members of the men's har association objected to this legislation, she said that she knew of none. and that the Citizens' Advisory Council had reported favor- ably on' the bill. In reply to a ques. tlon hy Representative Rathhone, she mald that laws on the subject of in- heritance need a great deal of change. Opposed to Amendment. When Mr. Gilhert announced his intention to offer a comprehensive amendment covering the whole law. of descent and distribution. Mr. Reid, Aponsor of the hill under conside tion, protested that the friends of this’ legislation do not want it bur- dened with an amendment covering a revision of the whole inheritance law.

The plino plaving of the second movement wi h.its charming variations was particularly admirable. The za saucy passages for the presto move ment were made A musical conversa- tion hetween violin and piano. There was not a moment of the entire work that was no: completely joyous. Be- fore the nuiaber Kreisler was comed with an ovation: after it he and Mr. Lamson shared another. Henri Vieuxtemps provided the sec- ond work. “Concerto No. 4, in D Mi- nor.” The introduction and cadenza were interesting, but the themes as de- veloped in the adagio religioso, bujld- ing to a crescendo with thrills and then descending In evenly rippling ca dences, seemed the high light of the work. The beisterous scherzo. with onstantly surprising disse nees, 3] tinale arzia provided am srtunity for virtuosity demon- stration, Perhaps the work as an en- tirety would have seemed more inter | esting had it not followed so closely on the heels of Beathoven's gem of sonatas.

Stein, a junk dealer on South Alfred street, was arrested yes- terday by prohibition officers for hav- ing in his possession an alleged still of about 600 gallons capacity.

Stein, the offi- cers say, should have scrapped the atill after taking it to his shop. His failure to do 80 is a technical violation of the law. Stein gave bond of 3500 for his appearance Monday.
