Allen, former policeman, dismissed from the force on a charge of insubordination, will seek reinstate- ment within the next two weeks, his attorneys, H. Ralph Burton and Tench Marye announced today. ‘According to the atforneys, suit will be filed 1n District Supreme Court to obtain a review of Allen’s record as a policeman, based on an allegation of prejudice on the part of the trial board which found him guilty and the Co) missioners who recommended his dis- missal. The charge against Allen, it was pointed out, was the result of a letter written to Maj Pratt, superintendent of police, by the former patrolman, which mentioned a newspaper statement at- tributed to Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty, which Allen said, impugned his good name. At the time of the trial Burton and {rial board, stating the impossibility of a police board unprejudiced toward Allen.

A group of young artists presented the first “salon” program of the series | planned by the Misses Sutro at the| Cariton Hotel yesterday afternoon. The music was all of the Colonial period and quite charming. The one criticism would | be that there was such sameness in the pastel quality of this dainty music that monotony threatened. Even so, it was certainly an unusual program and ex- ceedingly interesting from the point of view of suggesting the type of music that satisfied our ancestors of Revolu- | tionary days as compared with the crashing _dissonances of the modern | composers and the jazz, which is the | musical fare of the average American today. The particularly effective draw- | ing-room setting of the lovely room that is used for these afternoon programs | and the casual comfort of the scaftered | groups of chairs about the room add| greatly to the pleasure of the audience | in the music presented. Katherine Riggs, harpist, opened the ?rngmm with works by Haendel, Scar- | af tti and his majesty King Louls XIII. The jast-mentioned is the composer of | that delightful air “Amaryllis,” which the artist played with special charm yesterday. Later a “Rondo des Songes,” by Rameau, was the feature of her second group, and a chanson of the “Troubadours” and two familiar airs, listed merely as folk songs—“All ANFRACE OV DINING ROOM CLus BREAKFAST 50¢ SPECIAL 65¢ LUNCHEON Taete D'HOTE DINNER $1.50 Also A La Carte.
