-5 |~ 3 SEVEN VOLCANOES REPORTED ERUPTED (Aleutian Islands Disturb- | ances Said to Show Alter- | ing of Contours. By the Associated Press DUTCH HARBOR, Alaska, Decembe 14.—Reports that seven volcanoes o the Eastern Aleutian Islands and the Southern Coast of the Alaska Peninsula were spouting flames and spreading | dense sulphur smoke in the first general | outburst in that region since 1927 was | believed by marine men here today to | indicate that jsland and coast contours | there are again being altered. The crew of the steamer Starr arrived | here with reports that the volcanoes Katmai, Pavlof, Mageik, Kagami}, Akutan, Chiginagak and Shisaldin were unusually active. All of the volcanoes are remote from civilization, but a few Indian setticments are on the islands near some of the peaks. ; ! Akutan, of 4100 feet altitude, spread lava over the island of that name last May and part of the top of it was blown off. In the Summer and Fall of 1927 about 20 volcanoes were violent in the | Tregion. Shishaldin was reported here as being the most active. This peak, rising 10.000 feet on Unimak Island near the villoge of Sisagul, always one of the most_spectacular, opened a new crater in 1914, There are at least 600 inlets which never have been charted and frequentiy are changing in this region. The Bogosiof Volcano, which towered 1,000 fect above the sea in 1823, entirely dis- appeared under water after_that, only to burst out again in 1896.

Distinguished by vivid tableaux and rollicking _tempo, the Junior League “Fete de Nuit” went across with a bang last night before an enthusiastic au- dience of more than 2,000 members of Capital society in the ball room of the Mayflower Hotel. So great was the de- mand for admission to the annual charity fete of the younger set that the overflow had to be accommodated in table groups arranged along the cor- ridors outside the ball room. Representative Lewis Douglas of Arizona was master of ceremonies and ushered in each number. While not of the same length or extravagance as some of the performances of former years, the 1929 show rivaled them in originality and costuming. The headline attraction, from an artistic standpoint, was the dance classic featuring Miss Virginia Peters, supported by Mrs. Chester Snow, Mrs. Gerald Linke, Misses Katherine Carlisle and Hallie Brooke. Another striking number was the snow ballet, “Winter,” in which Mrs. Harry Eaton, in her initial appearance in local league affairs, had the role of “Jack Frost.” Reeve Hoover welcomed the guests in a solo number, “Good Evening, Friends,” after which Mr. Douglas sum- moned Jazz, Beauty, Dance and Melody (Miss Mildred Huston, Mrs, Cortlandt Parker, Mrs. Marshall Mar- ston and Mrs. Harry Eaton) to make whoopee, “bigger and better than ever.” Old-Fashioned Party. An_“old-fashioned Valentine party” 1ad Miss Caroline Roebling as its star. Another high comedy note was sounded with the appearance of Mrs. Winslow Van Devanter as a “spinster” of 20 years ago, and her “boy friend,” Griffith War- field, who deplored the complete dis- appearance of “the chaperon.” “Girls of Yesterday and Girls of Today” pro- vided an amusing chorus in this skit, the demure misses of “Yesterday” in- cluded Mrs. Dorothy Mills Gibson and Misses Lucy Larner, Caroline John- and Mary Parrish Bradley. The mod- ern “flappers” were Mrs. Henry Ravenel, Mrs. Hugh Rowan, Misses Clara Bolling, Frances Wall, Helen Clifford and Mrs. Ernest Swift. Miss Elizabeth Hume, leading an Irv- ing Berlin chorus, “Baby, Where Can You Be?” was uproariously received. They were followed by another song and dance number in which Mrs. H. L. Rust, jr., and Miss Katherine Dunlop stepped with J. Lawn Thompson, jr., and S. Bin- ford Valentine. Stephen Nyman's tap ‘dfi\ncz, “Rattle Taps,” was equally pop- ar. Much of the success of the show was due to the tireless efforts of Mrs. Cary T. Grayson, general chairman, and her | corps of workers. The boxes were occupied by those prominent in many circles of Wash- ington society. The Secretary of Com- | merce and Mrs. Lamont took a box, but | owing to official mourning did not at- tend the party. The box of the Am- bassador of Great Britain and Lady Isabella Howard was given to members of the embassy staff. Others who entertained guests were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brett Noyes, whose | guests were Mr. and Mrs. Imbrie, who have recently come here to live; their sons-in-law and daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Wilmott Lewis and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hart; their son and daughter- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Newbold Noyes, and Mr. and Mrs. John Newbold, jr. Mrs. Hunt 15 Hostess. Mrs. Ridgely Hunt was hostess to Capt. and Mrs. Hugh W.

The monthly meeting of the Bright- wood Citizens’ Association last night turned into a mass meeting of members of the assoclation and property owners, who vigorously protested against the as- sessments levied in connection with the condemnation of land for the extension of Peabody street between Seventh street and Georgla avenue. The meet- ing was held in the old Brightwood school building and the assembly hall was filled to capacity. Various property owners expressed their opinion regarding the assessments and pointed out what were described as irregularities, which will be embodied in a petition to be presented to the clerk of the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia the first of next week. ‘The petition will point out that “the amounts of money assessed are exces- sive, unreasonable and unjust, that the verdict is clearly erroneous, errors were made in listing certain squares” and “the verdict as a whole is materially affected by the omissions.” Two Not Assessed. In one instance it was shown that at the intersection of Eighth and Peabody streets two corners were assessed, while Will Rogers Says: f BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—These are happy days for Uncle Joe Grundy. Here he has been stand- ing out in the lobby of our Capitol for 40 years, and finally asked to come in and sit down. And he will make 'em a valuable man. When they resume the in- vestigations of lobbyists, put him on the Senate committee, and he will know exactly how to trap ‘em. And his rise has been unparalleled in American history, why less than six months ago I used to get hun- dreds of letters, “Who is this Grundy you are always talking about in your dispatches, is it a real char- acter, or one of your inventions?" Now here he is better known than Mayor Walker or Clara Bow. the other two were not assessed. The statement of one of the District offi- clals as to the reason brought forth the information that the two corners in question didn’t appear on the map from which the jury made its assessments. The jury in the case rendered its ver- dict October 24 last and about 400 property owners are said to be affected. It was voted to have William McK. Clayton and George Francis Willlams prepare a petition to be signed by the individual property owners and filed with the clerk of the Supreme Court prior to December 18, which is the final date for filing protests. The following committee was appointed by Acting President A. W. Foster to arrange the details of the petition and file protests: C. W. Taylor, chairman; A. L. Poole, El- mer Johnson, H. C. Drum, W. B. Bell, C. B. Sattler, L. G. Nutt, Alhert S. Gat- ley, Henry W. Syfrig, Frank A. Schweit- zer. The following were elected members of the association: Jared E. Sparks, Cecil W. Taylor, A. L. Sampson, Miss Mary R. O'Connor, Jerome C. Jackson, W. P. Money, J. L. Mahoney, James F. Douglas, G. S. Connor, Frank A. Schweitzer, Mrs. Mary Kieffner, Mrs. Clara Preston Bell, Miss Edith E. Payne.

At the beginning of the working season it is proposed to construct concrete side- walks on the west side of Eighth street from Quackenbos to Madison and on one side or both sides of Oglethorpe street from Seventh to Eighth street.
