WITKOWSKI LOSES
GLEN ECHO SUIT
Fight Between Former Mayor and
Town Council Decided Against
Militant Official.

Rockville, Nd. May 1S-The suit of
Louis C. witkowski against the Mayor
and Council Of Glen Echo, which was
brought by witKowsh' when he was
Mayor Of Glen Echo. which was an sc-
ton to enjoIn the town Council from
carrying into execution an alleged ordi-
nance appropriating money and re-
straining the holding of an election to
fill the vacancy In the Council because
of alleged irregularities in the selection
of one Of the judges to offlciAte at such
election, has been decided by Judge
Peter in the Circuit Court here against
witkowski. The only effect OF the de-
cision is to make witkowslki pay the
costs, as the purposes iof the action
were accomplished by the temporary in
junction granted by Judge Peter at the
time the suit was filed.
In his decision, Judge Peter declares
the court erred in preventing the cleo
ton. The election should have been held,
says the decision, and then II the plain
tin was not satisfied with the result he
could have appealed to the Circuit Court,
as provided by the Glen Echo charter.
The bill of complaint is dismissed. and
the costs, which amount to something
like $500, are placed against Witkoysh.
The decision of Judge Peter is the last
act in the controversy between Witkow-
ski and the members of the Glen Echo
town council. witkowsh was represent
ed IN the proceedings by Thomas Daw-
son and Alexander Kilgour, Of Rock
VILE, and James F. Kelley, Of Washing
ton. The Mayor and Council of Glen

SOCIETY FOLK SEE
WOODLAND LEGEND
Artistic Production Presented Be-
fore Large Audience at
Rauscher's.

A woodland legend in prose and song.
conceived by Miss Charlotte Z. Hunter.
Of ISIS p Street Northwest. was presented
at Rauschers yesterday afternoon before
as audience OF Washington society folks
by Baroness Won RottenthaI. of Austria.
assisted by the s. CoIeridge-Tsylor Cho-
raj Society. The recital was for the ben
eft OF local colored settlement work.
The recital yesterday afternoon was
the first appearance in Washington Of
the baroness, who has won favor with
her artistic ability in several countries
She was trained in Paris at the Opera
Comique under the mistress of the ballet
OF that world-famous institution. The
baroness danced before the elite OF Mu-
mich, Germany. where she received a
cordial reception. She later danced be-
fore New York audiences, where she was
equally well received. She has posed for
several painters of prominence.
The Woodland Legend represented the
struggle and wooing OF a primitive soul
The music was based on Edward Grieg's
"Peergwnt" The first two books Of
''Hiawatha" were utilized in the forma-
ton OF the plot. The setting was natural
foliage. Hiawatha's wedding feast, the
death of Minnehaha, and the arrival Of
the primitive soul in light and state Of
glory were the important parts OF the
legend.
The feature Of the recital was the
fact that the music was hidden. 1t
seemed that the strains of weird melody
came from nature itself
The Interpretations OF the Baroness
Won Rottenthal were excellent, and her
attacks were wonderful The legend
reached a climax in TIC srriyal Of the
soul in perfect light and here the Aus
trian artist made her grand coup. The
singing OF he cho:Il society was ex-
cellent.
Miss Hunter was congratulated by
every one present upon her success On
the conception of such an artistic pro-
duction. Miss Mary L. Europe was ac-
companist at the piano.
Washington society was wen repre-
scented at the recital Among those
present were Mrs. Christian Hemmick
Mrs. Pinchot, Mrs. Hunt Slater, Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins, and a delegation OF
the Austrian Red Cross, headed by the
celebrated surgeon, DIR. Silbermark.
