VATIGAN SUBJET 5 FROM AMERICA Father John Hagen of Georgetown U. Has Served for 25 Years. By the Associated Press. VATICAN CITY, November 6.—One Ione citizen of American origin—and he a naturalized one—stands out among the 518 “subjects” of the new Vatican City State. He is Father John Hagen, S. J. di-| Tector of the Vatican Observatory. Born an Austrian, and naturalized American while at Georgetown University, he has been fulfilling his functions at the Vati- can for about a quarter of a century. 389 Are Italians. Out of the 518 citizens or subjects 389—headed by the Pope himself—are of Italian origin, albeit Pius XI was actually born_an’ Austrian subject. hi birthplace, Desio, near Milan, being under Hapsburg domination at the time he came into the world. The Swiss, in view of their century-old privilege of furnishing the papal guard, come next with 113, while the French have 11. “This last number includes their nation's “Cardinal of Curia,” his eminence Alexis Lepicier. Germany has five Vatican citizens, headed by the venerable Jesuit, Cardi- nal Ehrle, librarian of the Vatican. Spain has two, one being Cardinal Merry del Val, former secretary of state and now archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica. Austria and Holland, with one citizen each, are represented by their two curia cardinals, their em- inences Fruewirth and Van Rossum. Jew Represents Abyssinia. ‘The only other two nations to be rep- resented by one borrowed citizen each are Norway and Abyssinia. The latter shatters all beliefs in precedents by being a Jew. This singular citizen of the Pope's own state will not remain much longer in the faith of his fathers, however. Before the constitution of the Vatican City was effected Hagos Fessuh, native of ‘Alitena, in Abyssinia, had already announced his intention of becoming a Roman Catholic, and being attached in a special capacity to the Ethiopian Seminary, which is on Vatican soil, was cirected to remain there pending com- Once he has been admitted to the church the Pope will reign over 518 subjects who are 100 per cent Catholic. students of the Ethiopian Semi- nary itself are not counted among the denizens of the Vatican, since their residence is only transitory.

It was the Phila- delphia Symphony Orchestra under its regular leader, Leopold Stokowski. The acoustics of the new hall stood the test with flying colors. Favorable comments on this fact were heard on all sides as the large audience dispersed after the | event. The stage ftself seemed to be taxed with the size of the orchestra, the men filling every inch. Mr, Sto- kowski, who has been a subject of con- siderable comment in the press all over the country recently for-his disciplining remarks to a New York audience which included modern work that he presented, seemed to throw himself completely into the task of getting everything possible from the colorful program which he chose for interpretation yesterday., and both leader and orchestra won prolonged ap- as a varied program. The first half of the afternoon was devoted to widely contrasting works. The gay | mood of Berlioz' “Carnaval Romain” was followed by the subtle, impression- stic Debussy nocturnes, “Clouds” and “Fetes,” both of which Mr. Stokowski as interpreted here previously and to which he gives unusual and effective readings. The phantom pageant of the | atter was especially vivid. Wagner's | ‘Magic Fire Spell” music and “Wotan's Farewell” from “Die Walkuere” formed cloquent highlight of the afternoon. given with beautifully balanced tone effects from all sections of the orchestra.

It has been several seasons since the American baritone, Oscar Seagle, a pupil of the French tenor, Jean de Reszke, has been heard in Washington.

Mr. Seagle was in excel- lent voice throughout his program. The volume and richness of tone at his command were shown advantageously in the air, ‘Troups de Sultan” from Massenet’s “Le Rol de Lahore.” The singer's capacity for achieving rounded pianissimo tones, sustained tone, and beautifully placed tones for swelling climaxes was brought out in Duparc's “Phidyle,” Richard Strauss’ “Caecelle,” Horseman's “You Are the Evening Cloud” and Goetz’ very lovely song, “Melisande in the Wood. ‘The tripping intricacies of Debussy’s “Man- doline” were given a deceptive ap- pearance of ease in the interpretation and every note was given its correct valuation. In short, the artist entertained his audience with a rare combination of dramatic personality and command of artistic effects, and he won enthusias- tic appreciation. As request encores, Mr. Seagle gave a touch of characterization to *Lindy Lou” d some Negro spirituals, of which “Standin’ in the Need of Prayer” was unusual in its quality of realism.

By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, November 6.—The official organ, Izvestia, yesterday warned Nikolal Bucharin and other members of the right wing opposition in the Com- | munist party that unless they acknowl- edge their “mistakes” that the government is pursuing the correct policy in its economic and agri- cultural plans they will meet the same fate as the exiled Leon Trotsky. Izvestia declared that the wonderful results of the first year of the five-year industrialization plan proved the mem- bers of the right wing wrong. Nikolal Bucharin formerly was edi- tor-in-chief of Pravda, important Mos- cow daily, and has held posts as mem- ber of the Comunist executive and member o fthe Praesidium council of supreme economy. He generally has been assoclated with such other “right- ists” as Michael Tomsky and Alexis Rykoff. and recognize WOMAN TO FACE JURY AS HUSBAND SLAYER Mrs. Baldwin, California, Who Said She Shot Mate During Quarrel, May Plead Self-Defense.
