' Frontier Situation Calm. | 'The situation on the Paraguayan srontier continued calm with both Par- pguay and Bolivia maintaining their garrisons in thelr Tespective positions.

REPLIES ARE STILL AWAITED, League Council Gets No Onswer From y or Bolivia. LUGANO, Switzerland, December 12. WAR SCARE WANES AS BOLIVIA TELLS ENVOY TO RETURN (Continued From First Page.) matic relations with Paraguay cherging that troops of the latter countey had crossed into territory rightfully belong- ing to Bolivia and killed Bolivian sol- diers. The spark of the present quarrel was this clash on the frontier between Paraguayan and Bolivian troops, which took place last week. But the dispute is one of long standing over a tract of land called Chaco Boreal, containing about 100,000 square miles. It is cov- ered with jungle and virgin timber, and recently it has been found to be under- laid with oil in large quantities. Another source of the quarrel is Bo- livia's desire for access to the sea. The Paraguay River, which is navigable for ocean vessels along the boundary of Chaco Boreal, would give her such ac- cess, if she controlled that territory. Paraguay contends that Chaco Boreal rightfully belongs to her and that she alone is privileged to use that stretch of the Paraguay River for commerce. An opposite claim is made by Bolivia. ARGENTINA BLOCK PLOT FOR BOMBING TRAIN OF HOOVER (Continued From First Page.) Hoover with the opportunity of study- ing one of the greatest engineering feats in the world. Mr. Hoover in crossing the Andes completed his travels to the only im- portant region in the world that he had never visited before. ‘The train was carried over the moun- tain by a rack system. On the Chilean side the line has been electrified, the energy being obtained from large water- power plants near Santiago. Coming to the summit of the mountain the road ran through a tunnel nearly two miles long and the train in pass- ing through this tunnel crossed the border between Argentina and Chile. Mr. Hoover bade farewell to Chile after exchanging hearty expressions of friendship between the United States an Chile with his host, President Ibanez. At a luncheon which was the climax of the Chilean welcome, President Ibanez said that the national spirit of the United States had given to the world incalculable benefits and an even great- er hope for future sipirtual and material advancement between the peoples of both continents. Mr. Hoover in replying said that in bothi countries there was a common history of building in a new world a new form of government founded upon a new conception of human rights. He asserted, ‘“‘our economic interests are reciprocal and our progress in pros- perity and comfort can only be mutual.” In addressing newspaper men, who are accompanying Mr. Hoover, the Chilean president said: “You must not forget that this country desires solid friend- ship with the United States.” ‘OMITS PORTO RICO VISIT.

GIVEN ANNEX 10 HOUSE BUILDING Committee Orders Favora‘ble Report on $7,500,000 Office Structure. ‘The House committee on public buildings and grounds today ordered a tavorable report on the Dallinger bill providing for acquisition of a site di- rectly south of the Capitol Building and erection there of another House Office Building. Effort will be made to have this measure passed at the present ses- sion. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $900,000 for acquisition of the site on either side of South Capitol street between B and C street, Delaware and New Jersey avenues, It authorizes an appropriation of $7.500,000 for erection of the model fireproof office building. ‘The project has the approval of the Commission of Fine Arts. ‘The plan is to acquire all of the property now in private ownership in the two parcels of land east and west of South Capitol street, but to build at the present time only on the eastern parcel. The Government owns prac- tically one-half of this property, which is occupied by the Public Health Serv- ice, Coast and Geodetic Survey and the United States and Canada Boundary Commission. Also on this property are the Congress Hall and Potomac Hotels. The_ other parcel is practically un- developed and the Government owns about one-fourth of that. It is expected it will take about two and one-half years to have the new building ready for occupancy. Congress has for more than 10 years ‘recognized the need for such additional office space in order that each member be provided with two office rooms and that some of the committees may be given larger rooms to accommodate the witnesses attend- ing hearings.

Ossip Gabrilowitsch has won fame by many paths. First he became one of the world’s leading pianists, “Later, he shared in the reflected glory of that great personality that was Mark Twain, when he married the humorist’s daugh- ter Clara. At the present time, al- though he is still heard occasionally in solo recitals or delightful two-piano programs with Harold Bauer, Mr. Gabrilowitsch is most noted as the ex- ceedingly competent conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. During the present season he is sharing witn two other conductors the honor of be- ing guest conductor of that supremely capable musical organization, the Phila- delphia Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Gabrilowitsch made his initial appear- ance this season in this capacity in Washington yesterday afternoon, and he also will conduct the program on January 22. ‘The symphony was another of the many Schubert_centenary commemora- tions. It was Franz Schubert’s rarely heard “Symphony in C Major.” There is no doubt that this work is long drawnout and at times seems to be- come too loquacious with the multiple inverted twists and interpretations of simple basic themes. Simplicity is in- volved in an intricacy of design in the four movements of this symphony that suggests the complications of a spider- web; a glistening, ethereal plece of natural gossamer texture with a gen- eral pattern that does not seem over subtle, but which, upon close exam- ination, reveals the very essence of skilful complication. The ‘opening bars of the symphony’s first movement have a charm that is unadorned, but cleverly clothed in multiple disguises later on. ‘This symphony, for all its length, has a peaceful beauty and the woodwinds are given special opportunities which were well displayed yesterday. In his Testrained yet purposeful conducting Mr. Gabrilowitsch showed his artistic musicianship. He conducted without a score, Richard Strauss’ lovely tone poem, “Don Juan,” was an effective contrast to the Schubert work and was beauti~ fully interpreted. The introductory music to Moussorgsky's “Khowant- china” gave still different orchestral color and had a remarkably impres- sive final wiiich held the audience spell- bound for several seconds. The rather humorous *‘Sorcerer’s Apprentice” of Dukas, which closed the program, brought still another varied color to an interesting program. H P “SHOPLIFTING SQUAD” _ STARTS STORE VIGIL ‘Twenty-two policemen, under direc- tion of Detective Sergt. C. J. P. Weber, today were assigned to plain clothes and dispatched to keep a vigil over the Christmas wares displayed in down- town stores. ‘The group, known as the “shoplitting squad,” is formed each year at this time. This is the second year that ‘Weber has been in charge of the squad and his men are the same who served last year. The squad last year arrested 60 alleged plifters and recovered ap- proximately $2,000 worth of loot. FALL INJURIES FATAL. Hospital Employe Slipped While Alighting From Elevator.

Little in the way of putting more teeth into the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment is expected by the dry organizations from the present short session of Congress, and it is ex- pected that any temperance legislation that might be an outgrowth of the present conference will not get a hear- ing before Congress until near the end of the session. “We feel that Congress has plenty to do during the present short session,” declared Dr. Arthur J. Barton of At- lanta, president of the conference, who was re-elected last night. “We won't try to push any legislation on temper- ance until toward the end of-the ses- sion, or, perhaps, not until the next session of Congress.” The other officers re-elected at last night's session were. Dr. Edwin C. Din- widdie, Washington, secretary; Mrs. Clarence True Wilson of Washington, vice presidents. With the completion of the sessions of the legislative conference here this afternoon, the National Temperance Council annual sessions will get under way. The memberships of the two or- ganizations are largely interlocking, and it is expected that those who are here for the conference session will remain through tomorrow for the council's sessions.
