GEORGE UHLE’S SPEED IN CAR PROVES COSTLY George Ernest Uhle, whose speed has won him star berths in the mound corps of the Cleveland Indians and the Detroit Tigers, got himself temporarily in trouble on account of another kind of speed last night. Uhle was arrested at Morrison street and Connecticut avenue by Motor Cycle fOfficer Homer O.

MUSIC FINNACOM-DAWSON RECITAL. ‘The_ third of the five joint recitals given by ten members of the Washing- ton Planists’ Club Katherine Mac- Reynolds Morrison, director, was given last night at the Columbia Heights Christian Church, when Helene Finna- | com, ‘;l;uenud her st _public recital, Dawson, presented by Charles Cooper of the Peabody Conservatory of Balti- maf;,l appeared in his second public recital. Little Miss Finnacom, who claims Just 15 years, presented an ‘outstanding program. She has assurance, poise and composure. With no I in memory, she gave the “Prelude and Fugue in A-Flat Major” of Bach with crisp technique. Her pedaling at all times was splendid. Her next number, “Sonata, Opus 2, No. 1,” of Beethoven, was given with stac- cato, clear-cut fingering. Miss Finna- com gave both the Chopin “Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor” and familiar “Valse in C-Sharp Minor” sympathetic interpre- tation. The closing numbers in this group were two rarely heard composi- tions of Albeniz. Her closing number was the rarely heard “Concerto in A | Major” of Mozart, with LaSalle Spier playing the orchestral part at the sec- ond piano. As this composition cannot be obtained in this country, and is out | of print, it is understandable why it is | not heard oftener. It is typically Mozartian, and it was played with thorough knowledge. During the intermission Mrs. Morri- Bon introduced Dorothy De Muth Wat- #on, chairman of the Washington Com- rs’ Club, who brought the greeunfi rom that organization to the Pianist Club and the compliments of the or- ganization to Mrs. Morrison. The other recital of the evening was presented by Edward Dawson, who showed marked improvement made dur- ing the past year. Just 17, young Daw- son power in strong hands and arms. He opened his program with “Prelude and Fugue in D Major” of Bach, and closed his first group with the “Sonata, 31, No. 2” of Bee- thoven, the first movement. Each com- sition was given an interesting read- g and piayed in a big, broad manne: It was perhaps as a budding com. fposer that much of the interest cen- tered around Edward Dawson, for he opened his next group with a “Sonata in A Minor,” the first movement, Allegro con calore, by himself. Study- ing composition under instructors at the Peabody Conservatory, this young man _appeared as the only composer in the Pianists Club, and he received an ovation for his effort. It is done in true sonata form, with an interesting theme. ‘The next numbers were the two in- termezzi of Brahms, in A flat major and in A minor, interestingly played. It seemed as if Edward Dawson brought understanding to these B num- and Edward by LaSalle Spier, gave |- Sunday, when she will play on_ three programs at Calvary M. E.

PROHIBITION BILL GETS RIGHT OF WAY Proposed Transfer Heads List of Measures on Sen- ate Program. ‘The administration’s proposed legis- lation to transfer prohibition enforce- | ment from the Treasury to the Depart- ment of Justice has been put at the head of the list of the Senate's legisla- tive program by the Republican steering committee. ‘The prohibition measure, against which little opposition is in prospect, will be taken up as soon as the Senate disposes of the pending measure by Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York to establish Federal employment agences. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, act- ing chairman of the steering committee, explained that the tariff bill and the London noval treaty would be given right of way when they are ready for consideration. Preferred status will also be given the rivers and harbors measure and the veterans’ compensation bill, both of which have been passed by the House, as soon as they are reported. After the prohibition transfer bill the steering committee placed the resolution by Senator Swanson, Democrat, of Vir- ginia providing for a change in rules to restrict double consideration °f meas- ures by the Senate. Next in line are the measures by Sen- ator Couzens, Republican, of Michigan to restrict railroad consolidations and tp reorganize the Federal Power Commise sion. A bill by Senator Norbeck, Re- publican, of Scuth Dakote to tax oleo- margarine products and the House measure modifying the merchant marine act will get next attention. o TWO OHIO CONVICTS ARE SLAIN AS GUARD FIRES BY ACCIDENT (Continued From First Page) Collier, Ironton, to make an _official investigation of the shooting. He said the guard regretted the shooting very much, but that such accidents “cannot be helped.” He pointed out that dur- ing the World War in France wasay machine guns, all delicate in operation, were discharged accidently. The guns in the prison yard were loaded and ready to fire at all times, because those in charge realized that the unruly con- victs might make a break for liberty at any minute. ‘The 88 tents destroyed by fire and erected to house the mutineers after they had damaged their cell locks will not be replaced, Col. Haubrich said to- day. The conyicts housed in the stock- ade will be forced to sleep in the open for the time being, he said. ‘Two hundred prisoners who have re- to work since the fatal fire are in the White City cell house in solitary confinement, on a bread-and-water diet. Four hours after the regular breakfast hour, the convicts in the stockade, where one lone tent survived the fire, had not been fed. Col. Haubrich sald, “We are too busy doing other things to feed Specials Buy Tomorrow them.” ‘The two men who met death by bullets had escaped death narrowly in the tragic fire.

When questioned as to their names, prisoners for the most part refuse to answer. All prison shops were operating today, excepting the woolen mill and machine shop. ‘The firing of the tents was described by a guard. “In the first red glow, I discerned a man wearing a prison cap, pass from one tent to another, firing them with burning paper. Then others joined him, pushing one tent against another already ablaze, until the whole place was afire. Many of the convicts pulled their beds and cots to safety. There was no open disorder. As the fire died out so did their spirit,” he said. Ed Sullivan and Russell Thomas, long termers, were taken from the stockade after the tents were destroyed and placed in the “hole,” a dungeon-like block of cells. Girl Paints in Plane.

The District of Columbia division of the national motoring body pointed out that with members of the Congress alive to the needs for safety in the Dis- trict, evidenced in numerous ways, this interest augers well for final enactment of the law. ‘The law has been adopted in whole or in part by New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, California, Iowa, Maine, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Vermont, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Minnesota. In brief, the measure provides: Mandatory suspension of the driving privileges of all persons convicted of serious violations of the motor vehicle laws until proof of future financial re- sponsibility has been established; sus- pension of the driving privileges of per- sons against whom a final judgment es- tablishing the driver's negligence has been legally rendered and who have failed to meet the judgment, this sus- pension to remain in effect until the Jjudgment has been satisfied and a guar- antee of future responsibility established, and the insertion in the driver's license law of a proviso which will prevent the issuance of a permit to any person whose right to drive is at t time suspended in any other State. ..

Why, if you ask us, Mother’s Day has always been every day throughout the years. You have never seen the day when Mother laid aside her role to taste the myriad other joys. True, there have been other roles — but always it was Mother who made plain the way of life. And so it is to do special honor that Mother’s Day has come to be a day when you can give a little more to Her who offered her life for you. No, you cannot pay the debt —nor we—but as you stand before her, to whom you owe so much, you can bring a flower and a message which when opened upon the perfumed air will remind her that you still love her.
