B8 *» THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, CAMPAIGN EXPENSE PROBE DENANDED Cramton Asks House Check While General Vote Is Pending. Campaign expenditures of members of the House would be inquired into by & special House committee while the | campaign for re-election of the entire | membership is under way, according to a resolution introduced by Repre- sentative Cramton, Republican, of Michi- gan. Cramton said it was more important that the special committee of inquiry be created to inquire into charges of improper use of funds while the cam- | paign was in progress than to wait | until atter the elections. Cramton’s measure is along the lines | of that recently sponsored in the Sen- ate by Senator Norris, Republican inde- pendent, of Nebraska, to set up a com- | mittee in that branch to inquire into the campaign expenses of senatorial candidates. In introducing the resolution Cramton issued a statement saying a “certain association” recently had indicated 1 proposed to spend a million dollars in connection with the forthcoming con- gressional election, “It js currently reported,” he said, “that $75,000 of this amount is to be used in an effort to defeat my colleague, Grant Hudson, from the sixth district g;yMlchignn." Hudson is a Republican A recent survey showed that 9,000,000 people in England are living in over- crowded conditions. TAXICAB PARTNERS ASK TO DISSOLVE SERVICE Two Drivers Claim Third Did Not Divide Calls to Office in His Own Home. Amos 'n’ Andy have no monopoly on the difficulties of the taxicab business, according to a suit filed today in the District Supreme Court for the dis- solution of La Sedan Taxi Service, in which two of the three partners accuse the third of not dividing the calls for taxicabs received at his home, where the office of the company is located. Edward E. Thomas, 430 Irving street, and Ira B.

Justice Peyton Gordon of the District Supreme Court is 60 years old today. “Here at work in the Criminal Court,” was the answer of the jurist to an in- quiry as to how he would celebrate the anniversary of his birth. Justice Gor- don is a uative of Washington, where he was born April 30, 1870. Most of his life has been spent in the District.

OAKLAND, Calif, April 30 (#).—A great hulabaloo in the “Jungles” near Livermore early yesterday brought po- lice to the scene. They found approxi- mately 100 hoboes making “whoopee” on stolen wine. Nineteen of the ftinerants were ar- Tested and 18 placed in jail on vagrancy charges. One was taken to a hospital with a fractured skull and five of them nursed cuts and bruises as a result of a clash with police. The wine had been stolen from a winery near Livermore Monday night. Canada Charges Ship Seizures. OTTAWA, April 30 (#).—A report submitted to the House of Commons i::urday said 48 Canadian ships have 'n seized by United States prohibi- tion officers since January 1, 1922, In four cases protests were made by Canada and in two instances the United States Government apologized, | There were several who did not stay MUSIC THE SCHUBERT CHORAL CLUB. A women's chorus of Washington, the Schubert Choral Club, organized last season, gave its third program last night at the Hotel La Fayette. The guest con- ductor was Mrs. Apolline M. Blair of Boston, formerly of this city, who is known: here for her work as a leader of this type of organization. The regu- lar conductor, Mrs. Emily G. Dickin- son, was at the piano for the club| members. A guest soloist was Jetson- Rider, baritone, from New York. He was accompanied by Louis Potter of this city. The audience not only filled the gold room to its capacity but also over- flowed up a short flight of steps and half filled the dining room on & higher level The chorus had an unusual combi- nation of songs on the program, begin- ning with “One Alont song by Rom- berg, sung with special permission. Gulesian's “Hymn to America,” Mana- Zucca's tar of Gold” and Bueno's “Nightfall in Granada,” sung by re- quest, completed the first group. Just as odd was the combination of the sec- ond group, opening with a "Cradle Song” of Schubert, then giving Rubin- stein’s “Since PFirst 1 Met Thee,” a beautiful song, in which the tempo taken seemed too slow. and ending with “Mah Lindy Lou,” by Strickland, which won a repetition as encore. The club's most ambitious number was an arrangement of the spinning chorus of Wagner’s “Flying Dutchman,” fol- lowed by “Sancta Maria,” by Faure- Shelley. The “Italian Street Song" from Victor Herbert's “Naughty Mari- etta,” with soprano solo by Florence Sindell, closed the program. The club is still too new for one to expect the finest ensemble effects. It | seemed last night as though there were few times when the singers, num- bering about 40, were exactly together in tone quality and interpretation. on pitch and a few who forced high tones. The club still has to achieve trie smoothness of ensemble work, espe- clally in softer passages of song. The members are all sincere and talented. Mr. Jetson-Rider presenied songs by Handel, Haydn, Clay, Tosti, Homer, Charles and Manney, with a generous supply of encores. His operatic air was “Vision Fugitive,” from Massenet's “Herodiade.” Part of the time one sus- pected this singer of being a tenor, although he showed baritone character- istics in many of his numbers. —H. F. INTERSTATE MALE CHORUS. ‘The twenty-eighth concert of the Interstate Male Chorus was held last night at Memorial Continental Hall before an audience that was as enthu- siastic as it was large. Striking from the very first a polished finesse that waxed rather than waned throughout the evening, this group of well trained songsters, under the leadership of Clyde B. Aitchison, provided an espe- clally appealing musical entertainment. Sylvia Meyer, harpist, as soloist, proved conclusively that the harp is the most spiritual of instruments. She also proved that she is a musician to be reckoned with. Her first number, Widor’'s “Choral and Variation” for harp and piano, seemed like a bit of another world—for the harp is not over- familiar in these parts, nor is the se- lection, and the combination—what with the cool, clear, plucking of the strings, and the melody which ran its course with almost wistful intona- tion, was sweet and soothing to the in “The Broken Melody” (Sibelius), when every cue was taken with pre- cision. Nickerson's “Lullaby” was given three times and seemed to improve at eacl rendition. Singing with slow tempo and well modulated tones, rising to an occa- sional crescendo, this number was a high spot in the club’s program. It is little wonder that the audience had it repeated. While “Invictus” was billed as the final number on the program, the audience continued to applaud at its conclusion, demanding another selec- tion. As an encore, a well known and popular Negro spiritual was sung, pleas- ing the audivnce and completing a well arranged program. ‘william Allen, pianist, is a remarkable technician and artist. He has a light touch and much facility in his playing. He offered three numbers, all excellent Moszkowski's “Scherzo Valse” was ad- mirably performed. He was judicious in his use of portamento in this number, but used it freely in his other renditions. Bert J Morris played the cello obbli- gato for the glee club in the rendition of “The Mystic Star” (Arensky). B. W. WIFE ASKS DIVORCE Mary J. Hayden Sues for Separation and Alimony. Limited divorce and alimony are asked in a suit filed in the District Su- reme Court by Mary J. Hayden, 3312 New Hampshire avenue, against Howard A. Hayden, 811 Webster street, who makes $11 a day as an interior deco- rator, the wife says. They were mar- ried August 17, 1929, and the wife charges her husband with physical Mrs. ears _for the wife. “Say it with Flowers” Flowers for Spring Weddings A floral setting of % unusual beauty is Y™ best assured your wedding by leaving arrangements in Shaffer’s hands. 1 Newest effects " in bouquets for brides and attendants.

In the sextet number from “Lucia di Lammermoor” there was profundity of feeling apparent, as well as technical precision, and as an obli- gato to the chorus’ rendition of “Forest Harps” it seemed as if this talented young musician had reached well-nigh perfection in her art. ‘The program that the chorus offered was as varied as the March winds. The selections ranged from works of Beethoven to those of Wagner and Sullivan. Even the able conductor, Mr. Aitchison, had his finger in the musical pie, drawing from it one of the largest plums. His composition, “When Twi- light Dews,” set to one of Tom Moore's most eloquent love poems, was one of the highlights of the evening. So also was _a novelty called “The Two Wives,” by PFranz C. Bornschein of Baltimore, whose weird and nicely dramatic notes provided a stimulating bit of genuine and ripe modernism. Other numbers that seemed especially important were the “March of the Peers,”, from “Iolanthe,” one of the most compelling of Mr. Sullivan’s lyricisms, and ‘“‘Cross- ing the Bar,” set to original and lovely music. E. de 8. M. HOWARD U. GLEE CLUB. ‘The Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel of Howard University rang last night with the applause of an enthusiastic audience, in approval of the efforts of the Men's Glee Club, presenting its sixteenth annual recital. The club was under the direction of Roy W. Tibbs. ‘The accompanist was Aladdin A. Red- mond. the club was Willlam D. Allen, jr., pianist, a faculty member of the university. “To Howard” opened the program last night and was followed by “Ave Maria” (Arcadeldt). The collegians sang with enthusiasm and forcefulness. Stanford’s “Cavalier Song” was very well done and was one of the best num- bers of the evening, although at times the report said. No Canadians were killed or wounded by prohibition officers during the period. ‘WOODWARD the attack seemed rather ragged. But, if it seemed a bit uneven in the “Cava- lier Song,” it was very much otherwise | * & I.oTHROP Sheer and Brown and Printed —are fashion reasons in- deed for the fashion im- portance of the gown sketched; for lovely, long town or country evenings, this flowered chiffon en- ters as the very special sort of dress for the occa- sion—and its flowering brown tones will continue to grow smarter and smarter as Summer comes. | cruety. Attorney Carl A. Marshall ap- | KOHLER TESTIMONY HELD SUPERFLUOUS Judge Rules Prosecution Must Show Company Funds Were Authorized. By the Associated Press. SHEBOYGAN, Wis., April 30.—Fur- ther testimony on expenditures in Gov. ‘Walter J. classed “superfluous” in his ouster trial until the prosecution established his connection with nearly $5,000 expendi- tures already introduced in evidence Circuit Judge Gustave Gehrz told at- torneys in an informal session after court’ closed yesterday. Gov. Kohler filed his expenses as $2,781. The judge said that books of the Kohler Corporation, a plumbing and electrical manufacturing company, which the governor heads, showed $2,217 in addition paid for entertain- ment of voters at the governor’s Kohler, Wis,, “model village.” The law limits campaign expenditures to $4,000.

Judge Gehrz warned Wilkie He must show this total of $4,998 was spent with Kohler's knowledge, consent and approval. If this proof was not forth- coming, he said, the State then might return to other accounts in attempts to prove expenditures were incurred by the governor’s company which would be_illegal. Defense counsel admitted more than $4,000 was spent in the campaign. They said such excess amounts were not authorized by Kohler. Parrot Fever in Canada. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 30 (®).—Six cases of “parrot | fever,” believed to have been contracted from parrakeets brought from the Ori- ent recently, were reported yesterday by Dr. J. W.
