Recommendations by the &pecial poll committee that persons especially in- dorsed by the citizens of Washington be appointed to fill vacancies on the Pub- lic Utilities Commission were tabled. William McK. Clayton, however, one of those in the list prepared by the poll committee, was favorably mentioned. It was voted 1o send letters to all the delegates to the Federation of Citizens’ Associations urging them to support G. Howard Dunnington, a member of the association, for election to the Citizens’ Advisory Council. In a resolution approving the traffic lights as installed at Dupont Circle, the association urged that similar lights be placed at Thomas Circle. A motion also was adopted favoring the control of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Senators to Be Thanked. Another resolution was adopted to send letters of thanks to Senators Tyd~ ings and Bruce for their efforts in the Senate to obtain a farmers’ market in the midcity section. 2 Addresses were delivered at the meet- ing by A. H. Gregory and H. N. Stull of the Stapton Park Citizens’ Associa- tion and by N. F. Jenney of the Ana- costia Citizens' Association, who urged that the members of citizens’ associa- tions visit frequently with other citi- zens' associations. A motion was made to appoint a special committee from the Mid-City group to pay such visits. A. J. Driscoll, president of the Mid-City Citizens’ Association, presided at the meeting. FILES SUIT FOR $250,000. #Swedish Nightingale”. Charges Opera Singer Slandered Her. NEW YORK, March 26 (#).—Counsel for Lydia Lindgren, sometimes called the “Swedish Nightingale” of grand opera, yesterday announced that papers had been served in a $250,000 action for “slander and defamation of char- acter,” brought by her against Julla Claussen, etropolitan grand opera singer. ‘Robert Dempsey, Miss Lindgren’s law- yer, refused to disclose the basis of the suit. He said that details of the allega- teons would be revealed when the com- g; int was filed, which he said would be about 10 days. 2 He added that other suits also will be filed, based on the claim that it is “a slander to repeat a slander.” Miss Lindgren, whose husband is Raoul Querze, an opera tenor, was prominent in the news about & year ago when she was treated in a Boston Thospital for poisoning. ——ih .

Mrs. Plummer does her own house- work, while in the other half of the house Mrs, Coolidge often assists her white-haired housekeeper, Mrs. Alice B. Reckahn, with the marketing and other household tasks. Both the Plummers and the Coolidges pay $40 a month rent, and there are no indications that their landlord, James | W. O'Brien, a former Democratic mayor of Northampton, intends to boost the amount. Mr, O'Brien has declared that it's nobody’s business whether he raises the rent, so presumably the public will not be informed—unless Mr. Coolidge or is their wont. AMUSEMENTS POLI'S—"“Trial of Mary Dugan.” Poor Mary Dugan is on trial again. And that fact represents the one tech- nical flaw worth quibbling about in a play that is otherwise remarkable for its close adherence to things as they are. But Mary Dugan’s trial at Poli’s this week is absolutely unconstitutional and something ought to be done about it, The fifth amendment to the Con- stitution, a part of the justly famed bill of rights, declares in no uncertain terms: “Nor shall any person be sub- ject for the same offense to be twice ut in jeopardy of life or limb.” Noth- ing need to said here of Mary Dugan's limbs, but her life was certainly put in jeopardy last night for the same offense for which she was tried right here in ‘Washington not many months ago, to- wit: For the murder of Edgar Rice. And, according to the advance notices, she was also tried in Australia, London, New York and many other places, with great success. But what’s the Constitution among friends? The main point is that the trial of Mary Dugan is in progress at Poli’s Theater this week, and any man or woman who has secretly longed to be on a jury in a sensational murder case has an exceptional opportunity to gatisfy that craving. The trial brinj -~ N e N answers the dey with feet ha Shoe has only so recent] vears recognized that it the muscles of the foot But only now after tw and experiment has the the manufacture of the ' Street JELLEFF'S Gold Stripe 499, $1.95 A FASHION INSTITUTION Parie Washington v out the story of & goodt murder, with a1 Follies girl as the defendant, several other Pollies girls as witnesses, a dis- trict attorney who might be able to give Mr. Hoover’ law enforcement commis- sion some pointers on what is wrong with the courts, and a fiery young at- torney for the defense who has a great future before him. “The Trial of Mary Dugan” is one of the best of the melodramas that came in answer to the public’s call for more and better court scenes. It is guaran- teed to keep anybody sitting up and taking notice throughout the day and a half of the trial. The entire cast is adequate and the work of Edward Em- erson as Jimmy; John Spacey as the district_attorney and Edith Broder es Mary Dugan is commendable. Jimmy and’ the district attorney are fine.
