By the Associated Press. PEIPING, China, April 29.—The British legation here issued a statement today that there had been no confirma- | tion of reports from Shanghai that two Irish priests imprisoned by bandits who captured the town of Sientaochen, had been murdered. The priests’ names were given as Fathers P. Laffan, from County Lim- erick, and J. Lineham, from County Cork. Both priests were from the mis- sion established by the St. Columban’s missionaries of Bellvue, Nebr., Han- yang province of Hupeh. Others of the mission were reported to have escaped the bandit atack. Bandits, who have been ravaging Northern Kiangsu Province for leveu‘l days, torturing peasants, looting and burning their homes, swept into King- suchen, posted machine guns and mow- ed down 1,000 helpless inhabitants. One thousand others were carried off. with loot, from the city. Kingsuchen, which was burned by the bandits before they departed, is within 100 miles of Nan- king, capital of the nationalist govern- ment. Meanwhile, Canton authorities re- ceived a telegram from Kanchow, Kiangsi, which has been beseiged by combined forces of communists and bandits for seven weeks, asking that “additional forces be sent to assist in clearing out the reds.” In the telegram officials saw indications that defenders of Kanchow, where 24 foreigners have been held by the bandit attacks, were gaining strength and hoped with mod- erate assistance to disperse the be- siegers, U. S. C. OF C. SPLITS ON COMPULSORY CAR LIABILITY INSURANCE (Continued From First Page.) the national chamber compelling the automoblle owner to take out liability insurance admitted, however, that driv- ers of cars should be held responsible for all financial damages and accidents for which they are to blame. The wisdom of the chamber’s attitude in opposition to compulsory insurance, it was pointed out, is borne out by the Massachusetts law which various speak- ers sald has proved of little value in the way of relief. Suspension of permits and barring reckless drivers from the road until they can show responsibility to meet accident damages was a method which others believed could be worked out by traffic supervisors in preference to com- pulsory insurance. Secretary of Commerce Robert La- mont will make the principal address at the 8 o'clock general session tonight in the United States Chamber of Com- merce Bullding, which will be devoted to the general topic of “Business Stabil- ization,” the solution of which is the most - important matter before the chamber. A tribute to American business for its challenge during the past six months to “rule of thumb” economies and its | successful efforts in smoothing out the | valleys of a “wayward and fickle” busi- ness cycle was paid today by President address before the opening general ses- sion. “American business has definitely broken new grounds” he told the nearly 3,000 delegates, from every sec- tion of the country, in reviewing the sion and in pointing out “what's ahead for business,” the underlying motif of this year’s session. Intelligent leader- ship and ct adherence to business principles, he said, assure a “disciplined progress to new and greater destinies.” Outlines Future Course. Coupled with this issuance, Butter- worth warned that if the future holds in store a “season of business baiting at the hands of lawmakers or other governmental authorities” the respons sibility would rest ufin a relatively small part of the business community, “which, either through shortsightedness or disregard of its larger interests, makes the canons of fair play to which the Y‘ut majority gives ty allegi- ce. Following the general session at which John H. Fahey, president and publisher of the Worcester, Mass., Post, elabo- rated on the outlook for the future, the meeting split into a dozen round-table conferences for the remainder of the dwelling on the problems that confront theuNutlan'l business and industrial sit- uation. Results of yesterday’s balloting for.18 national councilors, nominated for the board of directors, was made public to- day, although the slate will not be sub- mitted to the general session of the chamber for formal election until Thursday. Successful Candidates. The successful candidates were as follows: Pirst district, Henry I. Harriman, Boston, Mass.; second_district, Chester 1. Barnard, Newark, N. J.; third dis- trict, Willlam M.

Compares 1921 and 1929, Referring_to recent business condi- tions, Mr. Butterworth said that “last Fall, a critical situation arose which brought clearly into issue the question of whether the aliled forces of business and industry, by closer co-ordination of their courage and experience, could demonstrate that the wayward and fickle economic cycle could be straight- ened out in an orderly and harmonious progression. “Though the forces of that mobiliza- tion are still to be applied, already the first pages of a highly significant chap- ter of economic history has been writ- ten. New forces have boldly entered the field and challenged the rule of thumb control of economic conditions which has heretofore too generally prevailed.” In 1920 and 1921, Butterworth said, “we tripped and fell and broke a leg,” but although 1929 we stumbled again and fell” there were “no bones broken.” Speaking of the facts gained and circulated by the comparatively re- cently established National Business Survey Conference, under the chair- manship of Julius H. Barnes, the Chamber of Commerce president said: “Through the medium of our chal bers of commerce and our trade associa- tions this vitalizing current is flowing into every part of the country, stimu- lating communities and individuals to grapple with recent facts, and, with a comprehensive panorama of actualities before them, to plan intelligently for the future.” —_— CAPITAL PARK EXPERTS STUDY RICHMOND SYSTEM For the purpose of gathering ideas for the betterment of facilities in the _| Capital, the public buildings and pub- lic parks committee was in Richmond yesterday inspecting the park and play- ground system.

Charles W. King, jr., local builder, who was named as co-respondent in a suit for an absolute divorce brought by Her- man M. Blerley, 1328 Columbia road, against his wife, Virdie A. Bierley, 1502 Ogden street, and who was sued for $250,000 damages by the husband for alleged alienation of the affections of divorce proceedings. The answer is very similar to the response of the builder in the allenation suit. Through Attorneys Wilton J. Lam- bert, Rudolph H. Yeatman and George D. Horning, sr., the builder admits pro- viding a home for Mrs. Bierley and her children, claiming they had no place to live. He charges that Bierley re- fused to provide for his family. King admits buying food for Mrs. Bierley and the children and also purchasing clothing for the children, but insists his relations with the woman were platonic only. o ‘Wedding crowns of flowers were worn by both bride and groom at the recent wedding of Miss Helen Schilizzl, niece of M.

Last year a large number of persons were turned away, and interest throughout Virginia this year has been considerably more intense than previously. Each school represented by a speaker is planning to send a delegation of stu- dents to the contest. Champions of five counties and the City of Alexandria are taking part in the competition. Since the completion of the group finals a few weeks ago, the youthful orators haves been preparing diligently for tonight's affair. Each of the speakers will be pre- sented with a handsome gold medal, donated by The Star, sponsor of the contest in this zone, and the winner will receive a prize of $100, With vie- tory tonight also goes the chance of being selected as champion of the en- tire Star area and a two-and-a-half month European trip with the six other zone champions. ‘The speakers will be Betsy Cannon, Arlington County; Virginia Carr, Fair- fax County; Anna Branch Nichols, Loudoun County; Ernest N.

His performance for him a tribute not common being sacchi” yed at Thurs- day’s matinee and Thursday and Saturday evenings. “Hamlet” will be given only at the Saturday matinee. The play last night was introduced as a new version by Arthur Good- rich of Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s play of the sge name. Mr. Good- rich has done considerable pruning in an endeavor to speed up the ac- tion, but the better lines have not been deleted. 1t was the skillful work of Hamp- den which saved the play from the perils of too many plots and coun- ter plots. The characters engage in a desperate game for a high stake— the control of France through the favor of a weak King. The play opens in the house of Marion de Lorme, mistress of the Duke of Orleans, but secretly in the pay of Richelieu. There is a plot afoot to slay the cardinal and win over the King, the principal conspir- ators being Gaston, Duke of Orleans, Count de Baradas and Clermont. Chevalier de Mauprat, courageous if not clever warrior, who is in love with Julie de Mortemar, ward of the cardinal, is selected to assassinate Richelieu. In the end, however, de Mauprat is won over to his intended victim's cause, and the plotters are foiled when the crafty Richelieu proves he is a fox as well as a lion. Moffatt Johnston as Count Bara- das, Ernest Rowan as De Mauprat, Ingeborg Torrup as Julie, and Dallas Anderson, in the role of Louis XIII, gave Hampden splendid support. Others in the cast handled capably the minor parts. It is ln’obthle that when Hamp- den and his company make their final bow Saturday night, it will mark the end of Poli’s, as the theater is to be razed to make way for the new Government buildings. It was impossible, however, to obtain today an authoritative confirmation of the fact either from the theater manage- men:. or from the Treasury Depart- ment Walter Hampden, . e fla.lc Crop year nearly B e et e ooe_maey , of wer from the Gold Coast of Am:xe WILLARD BATTERIES ) "“/Ic‘::pmm "FOR SALE 2ND COMMERCIAL CORNER Excellent location, 30-ft. alley.

AMONG ashington’s Theaters. “Jerry” at the National Hits the High Mark of Joy. IF Billie Burke had been watching from the wings of the National Theater last night, she would have seen one of the Flmnnm reminders of the past that could have come to her. For “Jerry,” the play which first carried her up to heights, leaped to life once more and pros- pered htily under the nimble tutelage of the National Players. This is indeed the sprightliest and most polished bit of amusement these now well ripened artists have presented. It is really one of the frothiest comedies of the season. It blossoms not only on account of the wit and folly of its lines, not only through the modulations of situa- tions that mminglfi refuse to W old, but because the leading lady, Marion Wells, leads a truly inspired company through scene after scene with unexceptioned merriment. Last night’s audience waxed from smile to snicker, from snicker to laugh and from laugh to roar, until, at the final cu , it seemed as if it wouldn’t go home at all. ‘The proverbial caption, Man,” is the theme around which Jerry builds her philosophy. An 18- year-old “vixen” with flaming hair and unsophisticated emotions, whose only object is to mortify her mother and remove the fetters from her aunt’s 20-year-old engagement, so that she can marry the man herself, Jerry turns the entire household into a neo-Wall Street panic. When the smoke, so to speak, has blown over; when she, a prisoner in her own room—having meddled with her aunt’s affair—finds that love won't come her way, she solves her diffi- culties by Fr:undhw to take poison and thus forces the man she wants into her own very anxious arms. Into these arms last night went Walter Gilbert with no flinching, for Miss Wells was so exuberantly radiant at the end of the third act that the audience burst into ap- plause at the mere sight of her. Applause, however, generally went the rounds. Adelaide Hibbard seem- ed to strike her choicest role, and Mrs. Hibbard is very popular in Washington on her own account. Romaine Callender deservedly re- ceived more laughs than anybody, and Edith Gresham made an amus- ing part often hilarious.
