In this confession, Jackson is said to have told how he obtained a stout stick and trailed his victim from Four- and-a-Half street and Pennsylvania avenue to a point within the Capitol #rounds where he felled her with two blows on the head, dragged her from the sidewalk and took her pocket book. Finding it empty, the alleged confession states, he tossed it on the ground by her prostrate form anc made off. . Detectives today were continuing investigations inte other assault cases which have occurred within the past year in the territory which Jackson has admitted freguenting—the vicin- ity of the Capitol and the Union Station. e LAUDS NEWSPAPER WORK. Miss Elizabeth Poe Gives Inspira- tional Talk to Students. “Every newspaper worker hopes to write the great American novel,” said Miss_Elizabeth Poe, music editor of the Washington Post, in an address before the journalism class at George Washington University, vesterday afternoon, and she added that she “has an idea that the ‘great American novel’ will be written by a newspape: man or woman, because of constant contact with the real life of the people.” The speaker called the responsibil- ity of the press a very great one, be cause of enormous power and the effect upon public opinionof published statements, . She advised that “a BCoOp is not so important as the ques tion of ruining a life or a cause.” The importance of esprit de corps and morale in the profession was im pressed on the students, with the admonition that in dealing with per- sons of all kinds they should bear in mind the necessity for keeping faith with those who were assisting them in their news gathering.

The United States Naval Observatory will lie to the west of the structure. Two adjoining lots, 100.by 200 feet each, have been acquired on the Mas- chusetts avenue side to provide e main entrance. Another lot, front- 1g on the circle, will give ample room for a service entrance.

The chancellery, which will be joined to the residential section of the em- bassy by a port cochere, will stand well back from the street, overlooking a park across Massachusetts avenye. The Ambassador’s office will be situ- ated above the port cochere, where he will have ready access to both portions of the building. The entire structure will be unmis- ‘akably in the English tradition. It will be of red brick with white stone trimmings, and will be surrounded by MUSIC MME. VON UNSCHULD'S RECITAL. Mme. Marie von Unschuld, who has been associated with local music circles for many vears and is recog- nized as a leading exponent of the piano, gave the initial recital in a series of musical morning programs planned for presentation at the Carl ion Hotel under the auspices of the department of music of the Washing- ton Federation of Women's Clubs vesterday. The audience filled the patio recital hall and was unusually appreciative. Mme. von Unschuld called her pro- gram “One Hour with Musical Minia- tures,” and gave short explanatory remarks preceding practically every selection. Sometimes these notes were based upon comments reported to have been made by the composer of the work; more frequently the notes involved the pianist’s own idea of a mental picture suggested by the composition about to be played. The comments were interesting. This pianist:is noted for her facile technique and unusual volume of tone. However, it was in the delicate and comparative simplicity pf Kreis- ler's “Fair Rosemarin” and the other Viennese melody of Godowsky's, “Alt Wien” that Mme. von UnSchuld seemed at her best and most individ- ual. Her reading of the Brahms' “Re- trospect” (intermezzo from Sonata in F minor) was original and very pleasing. Her scales were clear and rippling and her glissandos, used in several selec- tions, had varied color and sustained smoothness. One gets the impression that Mme. von Unschuld studies her compositions and interpretations by phrases, for there are times when the composition does not have a single, unified effectiveness, but rather the effect of a continuation of varied pic- tures placed one after another. This pianist can comand either the softest pianissimo as employed in the, Schu- mann “Warum?” or the ultimate for- tissimo which bombarded forth from her arrangement of the Liszt “Thir- teenth Rhapsody.” Due to the length of the program, two Liszt arrange- ments were omitted. H. F. NEGRO SPIRITUAL PROGRAM. The department of music of Mount Vernon Place M. E.'Church South presented an entire program of ne-gro spirituals last night, under the direc- tion of R. Deane Shure. The musical entertainment was attended by an au- dience that filled the church to ca- pacity both on the first floor and in the balcony—an audience that listened with close attention and seemed to en- joy every number very much. This music is always lovely to hear, and has been featured on several pro- grams in Washington during the cur- rent season, one of the most notable being the performance given by the members of the Hampton Institute Choir, under their leader, and an in- ternationally noted authority on in- terpretation of these spirituals, Na- 5 | thaniel Dett. The choral numbers last night in- Y | cluded an arrangement of “Dig My Grave,” from the Henry Krehbiel col- lection; Burleigh's arrangement of “Deep River,” which was sung a ca- pella; the me composer’s arrange- ment of “I'm A-Rolling,” N. Clifford Page’s arrangement of “Swing Low, weet Chariot,” Dett’s “Listen to the Lambs,” sung at an unusually slow tempo, but with effective handling of the short a capella passage near the end of the work and of the final chord, and Arms Fisher's arrangement of “Going Home.” Edith Gottwals layed the accompaniments on the or- gan with excellent taste, so that the instrument never dominated the vas i Phillips Terrace Apartment 1601 Argonne Place Just North of Columbia Rd. at 16th St. left just a few of these won- we Bt & tile bath and re- m_$45 to 852.50 aleove, tile 1l, from kfast room, and One room. tehen., ception hall. fro One. room. kitchen, dining ‘bath Tw "t rooms, e bath’ a f ‘rooma: All prtients have all ve ' “Fith beautifal outiook | exposurea | Bujit-in_bath_fixtures Murphy beds, ete. 24-Hour Telephone and Elevator Service Inspect Them Today Before !

Mitchell, tenor. There were 77 in the choir last night, all of whom sang with fine at- tention to the directions of their con- ductor. It is announced that this choir, the Mount Vernon Chorus, has been engaged to present the same pro- gram at Trinity Church, Baltimore, next month. g e CONCERT BY PUPILS.
