WURZBACH MUST FACE INDICTMENT Corrupt Practices Act Held| to Cover Charge Against Texan. Members of Congress accepting money from officeholders in their primary campaigns are liable to prosecution under the corfupt practices act, the Supreme Court declared yesterday. The question reached the highest tribunal in an appeal by the Govern- ment after it had failed in the western district of Texas in proceedings against Representative Wurzbach, Republican, of that State. He had been indicted for accepting contributions from office- Tolders in his primary campaign for renomination. Representative Wurz- bach recently was awarded a seat in the House as a result of a contest with his Democratic opponent, Augustus Mc- Closkey. The effect of the decision today | will be to force the Texas Representa- tive to go to trial on the indictment, which had been dismissed by the Fed- eral District Court. The opinion was written by Justice Holmes and no dissent was announced. I stated that “Congress may provide that its officers and employes neither shall exercise nor be subjected to pressure for money for political pur- poses, upon or by others of their kind, while they retain their office or em- ployment. * * * Neither the Consti- tution nor the nature of the abuse to be checked requires us to confine the all-embracing words of the act to_po- Jitical purposes within the control of the United States.” Following this iine of reasoning, the court held that, while Congress did not have jurisdiction over primaries, it did have authority to prohibit its mem- bers from accepting contributions for “any political purposes whatever,” and thus reach contributions of all kinds. “TWO KILLED, ONE HURT IN CRASH OF AIRPLANE Young Chattanooga Capitalist and | Doctor Die on Way to Former’s Wife. By the Associated Press. SMYRNA, Ga., February 25.—A AMUSEMENTS P 9 The Numes aausible expla- OLI Smtfi)fl of Miss Ethel Barry- “The Lavemore's choice of “The Love " Duel” at Poli’s this week as her latest vehicle has been noted with sufficient emphasis in the advance notices of the play. These have laid significant stress on the fact that this sophisticated study of sophis- tication is the exact opposite of “The Kingdom of God,” in which Miss Barrymore was last seen in Washing- ton—thus implying that it affords an in- teresting study in contrast, at least, and 2 nice test of ore's versatile repertory. This being granted one seeks in vain for other explanations. The play is constructed of the flimsiest sort of material and the ability of the star and the supporting cast to hold it together through the first two acts until it can stand on its merits in the third is all the more praiseworthy; a subtle tribute to their skill, ‘The play is based on the conception of two persons, a man and a woman, as impions in the game of love. Both Louis Calhern—and “She -Miss Barrymore—have traveled far and wide and each has left a trail of broken hearts behind. These broken hearts are as so many scalps on their belts, or notches in " their guns, each denoting some past triumph or conquest. Finally the two champions meet, and, like ail champions, must cross swords to deter- mine the final winner. They enter upon their duel with an agreed and avowed purpose in mind, based on an accepted thesis that he will be the victor who can bring pain and suffering to the other. Wrapped up in an armor of pretense and sham, both trip on their own swords, both lose but each wins shrough the intercession of a third party whose identity is concealed in this review except for the hint that he has been interceding in such situations, for better or for worse, since the world began. ‘While the major part of Miss Barry- more’s role calls merely for apt portrayal of pale and wan boredom and the list- less manipulation of a fan, there are occasions when she must rise to the full heights of her fine art in expression of a deep and poignant emotion that tran- scends such superficial poses as sophis- tication. This she does, as always, with & marvelous restraint that is, of course. most effective. Louis Calhern is well cast in the part of the rather cold blooded and malicious philanderer who thought he kpew all about women until “He” met “She.” His work is most Ppleasing. Except for a good third act, which makes up for many of the faults of its predecessors, the play is rather dull; a fact that may be explained by the sub- ject with which it deals, for sophistica- tion and sophisticates are in themselves, as a rule, tiresome. “The Love Duel” is by Lili Hatvany, young Chattanooga, Tenn., _capitalist and his family physician, who were flying to the bedside of the former's wife, were killed near here yesterday, as their ship plunged them to death while attempting a landing.
