6 WORK UNDER WAY ONMUSIC BUILDING Construction at Catholic U. Expected to Be Finished by Next March. With ground broken last Monday for the school and auditorium which will house the lately established school of liturgical music, to be situated near the Shrine of the Immaculate Concep- tion at Catholic University, Right Rev. Mgr. James H. Ryan, president of the university, announced yesterday that he anticipates completion of the structure by the first of March. ‘The edifice is the gift of Mrs. Justine B. Ward to the university and will con- tain a large auditorium, class rooms, library, practice rooms for piano and organ, offices and study rooms. It will be known as Dom Macquereau Hall, after the famous monk of Solemas, France, outstanding scholar of Gre- gorian chant. ‘The monks of Solemas have worked for the perfection of the chant and the study of liturgy and Catholic Univer- sity’'s new school exists primarily for the study of this ancient form of music which is regarded as the supreme model for sacred music, In speaking of the new school, Mgr. Ryan said, “The school of liturgical music will be a noteworthy addition to the artistic and educational life of mmgwn‘ Music lovers who appre- % the close ties which have always wund together church and secular usic cannot but welcome the estab- Jshment of a school with such high /classical ideals as we intend to conduct. / They will watch, I feel sure, the course ( of the work with pleasure and expect- ancy. BOOTH LETT.ER NAMING SUCCESSOR KEPT SECRET Note, Locked in London Safe, Will Be Destroyed Without Read- ing Contents. By the Assoclated Press. QUEBEC, August 31.—Inclosed in a mysterious letter locked in the massive safe of the legal advisers of the Salva- tion Army in London is the late Gen. Bramwell Booth’s official nomination of his successor. The letter will be kept for a time during certain legal adjust- ments and will then be destroyed, un- opened. Gen. Booth's nominee, whose identity has been the subject of speculation on the part of army officials the world over, will never be known. This was revealed by Gen. E. J. Higgins, newly elected commander of the Salvation Army, when he arrived here. Gen, Booth was supplanted as com- maer before his death by Gen. Hig- BRIAND GETS GREETING UPON REACHING PARIS Officials Mingle With Citizens to Receive Prime Minister After Conference. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, August 31.—Shouts of “Long live Briand, long live peace,” greeted Premier Aristide Briand when he ar- rived last night from The Hague Reparation Conference. Scores of of- ficials of the government and city and members of the diplomatic world mingled with ordinary citizens in the impromptu reception. It was noted that the premier picked out German Ambassador von Hoesch from the crowd and had several minutes chat with him on the station platform. Both appeared well satisfied with the re- sults of The Hague meeting. It is generally felt here that despite the additional sacrifices France was obliged to make, she emerged the moral victor because she made possible a peaceful conclusion of the conference. M. Briand drove from the station directly to the ministry of foreign affairs, where he went to work with his secretaries, preparatory to leaving on Sunday for Geneva for the League of Nations meeting. GANG GETS $5,000 IN JEWELRY AND CASH Fashionable Apartment in Chicago Robbed by Five Bandits, Who Posed as Policemen. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 31.—News of a caring robbery last Saturday night in the fashionable apartment of Mr. and Mrs, Stuart Logan, social leaders, by five bandits who took between $5000 and $10,000 in jewelry and considerable cash was made public Thursday night. Police had suppressed it to give the bandits an opportunity to open negotia- tions with Logan for return of the loot on & cash settlement basis, as they had agreed to do. ‘The bandits, posing as policemen, forced their way into the apartment and kept Mr. and Mrs. Logan and the servants in separate rooms while they ransacked the place. Lo{nn. who is a wealthy retired bro- ker, tried to persuade the robbers to re- turn the stolen goods for a cash pay- ment. They promised they would, but failed to do so. MUSICIANS MAY STRIKE. CHICAGO, August 31 (#).—Unless an agreement with theater owners is reached, 800 members of the Chicago Musicians’ Union will walk out tomor- row at midnight and, according to James C. Petrillo, head of the union, will “stay out until the public demands GAMING DENS REPLACED BY BROKERAGE HOUSES Former New York Assemblyman’s Book Will Tell of Conditions in Manhattan. NEW YORK, August 31 (NAN.A)— It's funny the way brokerage houses are spreading branches through the middle of Manhattan, and interesting the way professional and business women are pnromnn%’ them. A few years ago many gambling joints flourished in this section and they had the police bluffed. Frederick L. Hackenburg, former As- semblyman, about to come out with a book telling of his penniless arrival as THE SUNDAY STAR,I WASHINGTON, D. €., SEPTEMBER 1, 1929—PART 1. an_immigrant boy, and his use of the public library in all of his spare time, discloses_this fact eflln. Tom O'Brien, on Thirty-sixth street, drew a chalk mark on the stoop and threatened any policeman who crossed that “deadline.” A form of communi- cation approaching underground telepa- thy existed among the gamblers, politi- clans and courts, he says, One place was raided 113 times, and the magis- trates’ courts threw the case out 113 times. Mr. Hackenburg has opposed capital punishment, also the present divorce system, on the ground that it was a chief reason for envy of the rich cn the part of poor wives and husbands who couldn't afford the fees, and one of his speeches against reformers led Raymond Hitchcock to say that he would be glad to pay $2,000 a week to a man capable of duplicating in the theater this speech Mr. Hackenburg made in the Legislature. Mr. Hackenburg, an ingenious spirit, used ‘to give picnics for his section of the town, and his offer of a prize for the most freckled boy got him immense publicity, and thus the approval of a ‘Tammany leader as a candidate. LT Huge Liquor Cache Seized. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Au- gust 31 (#).—Whisky and beer valued at approximately $1,500,000 were seized and one man arrested yesterday in a police raid on the Nastillers, Limited, warehouse. The raid was conducted under the personal direction of Chief of Police W. J. Bingham. Trucks were kept busy all afternoon moving the liquor from the raided premises to police headquarters. STOLEN SACRED JEWELS PROVE TO BE IMITATIONS Naples Stirred by Perplexing Mys- tery Following Recovery of Church Loot. By the Associated Press. NAPLES, Italy, August 31.—The poulation of Naples has been stirred by a strange jewel robbery. On Wednesday nuns on duty in the oratory adjoining the Church of Santa Chiara, discovered that priceless jewels and sacred objects had been stolen. Thieves apparently concealed them- selves in the church during the evening service and later calmly walked awa) with their loot. % . ‘Thursday & man and three accom- plices, charged with the perpetration of the robbery, were arrested and a search of their homes led to recovery of the valuables, including a statue of the in~ fant Jesus, inlaid with jewels described as priceless. A surprising development in the case came today when police said examina- tion of the recovered objects revealed the jewels were paste and instead of being worth millions their value is less than $100. Whether the jewels were substituted before the robhery occurred is not known, but a thorough investiga- tion is to be made by the police. e Nearly $8,000,000 worth of toilet preparations and soaps were exported from the United taStes in the first half | tha of this year. TAX ON “HOME BREW” MALT IS PROTESTED Law Recently Enacted Defied by Detroit Resident Who Rufuses to Pay Assessment. By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, August 31.—Michigan's “home brew” malt tax law, a subject of contention since its passage by the Legislature last Winter, was up against its first formidable stumbling block yes- t':rd?’y, the refusal of a taxpayer to be xed. ‘The law imposes a tax on all malt ex- tract, malt sirup and wort sold for other in commercial baking and medicinal against home brewers. Wort is taxed 25 cents a gallon and malt 5 cents a o of wets and drys have d the tax, the drys claiming it reg)‘g:;;d an fllegal “industry,” the wets that it was aimed at poor people. Yesterday, with the measure in effect scarcely three days, John Stroh, secre- tary of the Stroh Products Co., for- merly the Stroh Brewery, declared his concern had not paid and did not in- tend to pay the tax. “We manufacture and sell malt sirup and malt extract for medicinal and commercial baking purposes only,” Stroh said. “If we knew any one want- ed to break the law we would not sell him the malt.” Investments of Swiss eantonal banks have increased by $10,000-000 in te last purposes and Is admittedly aimed three years.
