The dinner was fol- lowed by & program of music and speeches, The entertalnment was conducted in the guise of a radio broadcast with the president, Louise Munsey, as announcer. Esther Lin- kins, the director, gave a short wel- come; Hans Kindler, guest of honor, made a speech for the National Symphony Orchestra, and Gideon A. Lyon read an address on “Washing- ton as a Cultural Center.” One of the members, Florence Hinman, also gave a clever history of the club in verse. ‘The music was supplied by Erbin G. Thomas, baritone, and Dorothy Radde Emery, local composer-pian- ist, Mr. Thomas’ two groups were selected carefully with an eye to variety and interest. The aria “Hear Me Ye Wind and Waves"” from Handel's “Scipio” showed im- mediately the finish and sincerity with which the baritone handles his not overpowerful voice. He enun- clates with welcome distinctness and surprises one With & soft, upper register. The “Floral Dance” from an old Cornish air, encore to the first group, had & marked rhythmic swing. The well worn Huhn “In- victus” was also done with real con- viction. ~ Fortunately Mr. Thomas chooses songs whose words are worthy of emphasis, even in such humorous ones as Sanderson’s “Cap- tain Mac.” The three verses of an English ballad by were perhaps too long for an en- core, but the song was very fine and thoughtfully rendered. Mrs. How- ard Blandy, the club accompanist, gave Mr. Thomas sympathetic sup- port in the piano parts. A resounding A flat, whose damper failed to work, slightly disturbed Mrs. Emery in her first group of Brahms waltzes, but she overcame the obstacle in John Ireland’s “Island Spell.” The most interest- ing number was Griffes’ “Scherzo” best described by its brief introduc- tory program: “From the Palace of Enchantment issue into the night sounds of weird revelry.” ‘The play- ing, if not sharply rhythmic nor very profound, was on the whole well contrasted with a melodious minor theme that arose in_the . uddle of the composition, D.

CHICAGO, November 11.—An effic- iency rating for 12,000 civil service em- ployes, proposed by J. L. Jacobs, ef- ficlency expert, was the question before 75 city department and bureau chiefs yesterday. Before Jacobs submitted his plan he‘ was criticized by Richard J.

BLUEBEARD TO ASK CHANGE OF VENUE Man Accused of Slaying Five | Linked in Another Murder. By the Associated Press. CLARKSBURG, W. Va. November 11.—Attorney J. Edward Law, counsel for Harry F. Powers, indicted late yes- | terday in connection with the slaying of two women and three children, said | today he would ask for a change of | venue ‘o the 42-year-old matrimonial | agent. Powers, who is to face trial late this | month or early in December, is incar- | cerafed in the State Penitentiary at | Moundsville, where he was removed after a mob threatened him here in September. | County authorities sald they expect | Powers to be brought here probably Saturday to plead.

DOMINICANS HALT PAYMENT ONLOANS “Drastic Emergency Step” Said to Violate Convention With United States. The State Department announced to- day that the Dominican Republic has suspended further payment on foreign loans as a “drastic emergency step. Although American long-term invest- ments are believed to have absorbed virtually all outstanding Dominican gov- ernmental securities, the department announced the United States plans no action for the present. ‘The republic will continue, however, to pay interest on foreign loans. Cer- tain customs revenues, which previously had been applied to the payment of the principal of this indebtedness, will be for the present diverted to the gov- ernment’s own maintenance. Held Vielation of Pact. The suspension is said to constitute a violation of a ‘“convention” of the treaty between the United States and the republic, whereby increases in Dominican national indebtedness must be approved by the United States and a customs receiver is kept there to pro- tect the interests of foreign investors. ‘The Commerce Department estimated at the end of 1930 that American long- term investments in Dominican gov- ernmental securities were $17,367,000. $69,822,000 Private Investment. ‘The Dominican government recently fixed its outstanding foreign debt at TONITE «..and every W ednesday, Saturday and Sunday nite to the best music in “Burt’s 1343 F Street 3-Day Special Men’s Shoes Black and tan calf and grain leather shoes —in popular lasts and the weights you will want now.
