Airs View on Recall
In His Annual Report

Comptroller of the Treasury Trace
we'll went out of his official way in his
annual report, to give his opinion on
the recall Of judges.
The Comptroller gave his opinion on
q political: question in discussing the
dismissal of accounting officials by su-
penors. He held that Federal officials
should not be invested with the power to
dismiss accounting officers who pass on
their expenditures of public moneys
Mr.. Tracewell says this authority is
"only another expression of the popular
fallacy now affecting considerable
part Of our people known as the recall
of judges"

ungovernable fury and threatening vio-
lence to his wife, who has a gun in her
hand. The man Is a brute. The wom-
ans life with him has been degradation
and physical torture. ...~
What happens just after the curtain
falls? Does the woman shoot him
That is the question in the minds Of
the audience. II she has shot him, 1t
would, of course, judging from what has
gone before, have been an act Of self
defense. Indeed. it is hardly possible
to suppose she has not shot him, for 1t
another, as the man had a revolver In
his pocket, and in his rage must have
killed the woman If she had not killed
him. And, so the audience Is left to
speculate. ...-
With this element Of suspense 1.-THE

'oping the play. Miss Barrymore plays
the wife, role rich In sympathy and
abounding in opportunities which enable
her to do what is said to be the most
