For the second time in recent years the two boards of the Associated Char- ities and Citizens' Relief Association held a joint session vesterday after- noon at the Soclal Service House to consider ways and means of meeting the steadily mounting relief expendi- tures of these family welfare agencles, whose funds have been raised for the 20 years through joint appeals. Those present from the Assoclated Charitfes board were Miss Mabel T. Boardman, Dwight @lark, Judge Wil llam H. De Lac Franklin H. is, Charles C.

At that time the commission will also take up again for consideration the placement of standardized flag decor tion on the downtown streets of the Capital, a matter that has been in abeyance for several months. The commission has also before it a re. quest for advice on improvement of temporary buildings at the Naval Hospital _at Twenty-fourth and B streets.

We only asked the President to select some outstand- ing lawyer. Mr. Tilson not only did mot reside in the district, but his ex- perience has been principally in ab- stract loan and insurance business more than in general practice.

District officials yesterday afternoon opened bids for the construction of a snew birdhouse in the Zoological Park and discovered that the lowest quotation exceeded by $46,000 the ap- propriation authorized by Congress. Plans are being made to readvertise for bids. The lowest bid, $148,695, was quoted by a Baltimore contractor. The ap- propriation for the birdhouse amounts to $102,000, from which must be de- ducted 233 per cent for preparation of the plan: MUSIC CLUBS CONDUCT CONTESTS FOR PRIZES Catherine Birch, Grace 0. Wash- burn and Helen Belt Are Leaders in Events. ‘The first biennial contest for student musicians and the seventh biennial contest for young artist musicians, under auspices of the Federation of Music Clubs of the District of Colum- bia, was held in the Sunday school room of the National Memorial Bap- tist Church last night. The winner of the student contest was Catherine Birch, lyric soprano. The winner in the young artist con- test was Grace O. Washburn, lyric soprano. Helen Belt, being the only contestant on the violin, was declared the winner., The judges were: Mrs. Charles Brooks Smith, chairman; Otto T. Simon and Herndon Morsell.

By the Associated Press. March 10.—A tale of s riches in oil, gold, platinum and precious stones in Colombia and a nge race of whites deviod of cripples or insane persons was unfold- ed in a prospectus that induced hun- dreds to invest nearly $1,000,000 in a land-selling scheme which postal in- spectors characterized yesterday as an amazing fraud. Henry J. Froelich and Joseph De- vore were arrested on indictments charging use of the mails to defraud by sales chiefly to Illinois and Ohio esidents of land to which they had no title, at the rate of $10 an acre. Golden Cooking Utensils, Golden cooking utensils were used the peculiar people that Devore imed to have discovered in a trip of exploration into Colombia, the gov- ernment of which, according to Assist- ant United States District Attorney Edward J. Hess, had no knowledge of v concessions to Froelich or Devore, or of the people Devore told about, much less of a cousin of Devore repre- sented as being a legal advisor to the republic. The prospectus told of an oil field in extent about 20 by 200 miles, of placer mines with hugh deposits of gold, platinum and precious stones. In all, Froelich and Devore claimed to control 3,000,000 acres. Froelich Recently Fined. Froelich recently was fined $100 for selling real estate without a license. Froelich at that time charged Devore with operating a confidence game against the former, but he failed to appear at the hearing and Devore was acquitted. Froelich is €9 years old and Devore 60. Froelich and Devore were released last night under bonds of $2,500 each pending arrangement. VETERANS HOLD SMOKER. Minstrel Show, Boxing and Vaude- ville Feature Affair. A minstrel show, boxing bouts and vaudeville numbers were on the program at the stag entertainment and smoker of the American War Veterans’ Club Tuesday night at the Arcadia. More than 500 members and their Buests were in attendance when Happy Walker, master of ceremonies, opened the program. The guests of honor were Representative Manloe of Missouri and Representative Sanders of Texas, both of whom made short addresses. ‘The minstrel show was presented by the Vincent B. Costello Post, the American Legjon. Sergt. Henry Loveless led the drum corps upon the platform. Kin Carroll was inter- loctor, while the individual stars were Tom Murray, Sammy Bear, “harles Plunkett, Al Stern, Paul Burthe, Barney Puck, TimothyRegan. Wilbur Alderman and Jack Lynch. Charles N.

They are much the same everywhere and include a closer study of indi- vidual family needs, when sickness or distress come and more adequate giving 18 required to meet these needs; increased interest in the wel- fare of children in such dependent homes with instruction to the moth- ers as to correct feeding, the abun- dant use of pure milk and green vegetables as recommended by nutrition workers, the growth of population in all our large cities and the maintained cost of doing relief work with the purchasing power of the dollar so much less than in pre- war times. More Families Cared For. The visitors of the Associated Charities reported 511 families under care in February as compared with 457 for February, 1926. In order to meet this heavy increase in calls for assistance the society has employed additional workers. Sickness con- tinues to be the chief immediate cause of need in the families under care as reported by these social workers. Of the 411 such families, 326 were found to be suffering from sickness or physi- cal disability of one sort or anothe: In order to meet the present emer- gency, the joint finance committee of these two family welfare organizations have been obliged, it was reported at the meeting yesterday, to fix the pre- Easter campaign goal at a minimum sum of $70,000 as compared with $59,000 last year. The campaign will open with the annual meeting of the Assoclated Charitles at Rauscher’s on Monday evening, April 4.

Felian Garzia, pianist, of New York and Washington, gave a program Iast night at the Playhouse before an audi- ence composed largely of musicians. Mr. Garzia, who has shortened his name of Garzigla recently, is well known in Washington, where he has had a studlo for a mfmber of years. He has developed his own method of playing and has a remarkable technique. Mr. Garzia seemed most interesting | in his reading of the group of com- | positions by Debussy. He seems to| have absolute sympathy with the dell- | cate quality of the French composer’s selections and the ability to catch the elusive, delicate poetry of each num- ber with its Corotlike descriptive powers. ‘'The works presented in cluded ““The Little Shepherd”—a very fleet-footed, light-hearted shepherd in deed: “Gardens in the Rain,” in which the strings of tears were blown by gentle winds; “La Soiree dans Gre nade” was gay, and the "Golliwog's | Cakewalk,” substituted for “L'Isle Joyeuse," had ringing guitar-like notes in the plucked melody ever o often that gave added color and individual- ity in the interpretation. This same guitar quality was also noticeable in the Liszt arrangement of Mendelssohn's “On Wings of Song," | although in this number the melodic | emphasis seemed oddly sometimes to | fall Just off the edge of the beat rather | than exactly simultaneously. The Schumann **Novelette, No. 2" was an other outstanding selection, for the subtle lyric beauty of the work was smoothly brought out as a vivid pat- | tern against the background of the | | Engineer 1.

Latham, soprano, and Seba Christy, tenor, in a program at the Washing- ton College of Music last night. Groups of diversified types of songs gave both singers opportunity for dis- play of good vocalism. Mr. Christy’s voice is characterized by typical dra- matic coloring apparent in “The Blind Plowman” of Clarke and “La donna e Mobile,” Verdi. In a sacred| song of great beauty, “How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings,” by Liddle, there was splendid style and conviction. Mrs. Latham is a singer of attrac- tive voice and stage presence, who touched high points of artistry in ‘Winter Watts “Wings of Night,” the “Desert Love Song,” by Spross, and Curran’s “Dawn.” “Maids of Cadiz,” Delibes, was sung with brilliance and ease. Musicianly adaptation and beautiful blending of voices in a duet version of Lohr's ‘“Where My Caravan Has Rested,” closed the program. STATE SECRETARY NAMED AS DEFENDANT IN SUIT Immigration ‘Consultant” Asks $500,500 Damages, Alleging Con- spiracy to Destroy His Business. H. Ely Goldsmith of New York, a consultant in immigration matters, yesterday filed suit in the District Su preme Court to recover $500,500 dam- ages from Frank B. Kellogg, Secre- tary of State; Carlton B. Hurst, Amer- ican consul general, Coert Du Dois, chief of the visa office of the State Department; Arthur C. Frost and Ed- g-gd Cafferey, American consuls in ‘uba. Goldsmith charges a conspiracy to destroy his business by the alleged | refusal of the consular offices to per- mit certain clients to make temporary visits to the United States, The peti- tioner says he had retainers of more than $100,000 from nearly 300 such applicants and asserts that without lawful right the consular officers de- clined to visa the passport of Yankiel Korzcak, a resident of Havana, visit his brother, a plumbing con- tractor in Detroit, - nounced they would take the same stand in the case of the other clients of Goldsmith. Secretary Kellogg and the visa office chief were appealed to in vain, Goldsmith says, as they upheld the action of the consular officials. Gold- smith claims tha officials are in a conspiracy to ruin his business, more, and lade nguer crystallize Efficiency Is Objective. e survey of the license burea t was emphasized, will be made witl, view to increasing its efliciency and not with any expecta n on the part of the investigators of develop ing a scandal The Commissioners believe that it may be poossible for the efficiency experts to recommend ome reforms that would improve the business practices of this department The Commissioners, it was pointed | out, are particularly’ anxious to dis-| — pose of the traffic department case | just as soon as possible, but hefor taking action they want to get the recommendations of Mr. Brown and | his investigators. While awaiting this | report they plan to study carefully the transcript of the hearings in the traffic signal episode, a copy of which they have received from the Gibson committee. Action on Moller Undecided. | Just what action the Commission- | ers plan to take in Col. Moller's case | is entirely problematical at this time. | While they deplore any attempt to| link the suspended traffic engincer in a ‘“‘scandal” they point out that he has committed several ‘reprehensi- ble” acts which they do mot propose to condone. The most serious of these, it was said, was the false certification of _vouchers. Next in importance they rank the removal of the official correspondence from the traffic department’s files to the home of Col. Moller, which was done, the Commissioners believe, to thwart an i@vestigation in connection with the purchase of traffic signal lights. Sunday Base Ball I;w ienten.
