A brief discussion of the Importance
Of using great discretion in the selec.

the writer wishes to go on record as

or sells them to cattle feeders, cannot

criminate breeding. There can be no
doubt about that.

AB0RN SINGERS IN FAUST"
Company at National Gives Excel
lent Rendition of Opera.

The Aborn Company's excellent rendi-
ton OF Faust delighted and enthused
large gathering of music lovers at the
National last night. 1t matters not how
often one may have listened to Gounod's
immortal strains-for the more often
heard the more enjoyed. The wonderful
ly appealing melodies of the third act,
the soldiers chorus. and. particularly, the
magnificent finale of the opera are, as
ever, thrilling in their effect upon the
hearer.
or the cast last night first honors went
to Miss Ruby Savage, whose Marguerite
is most satisfying vocally as well as from
an acting standpoint Miss Savage has
a soprano of remarkable range and clar-
ity. this quality being especially evident
in her upper register. Enthusiastic ap-
plause greeted her rendition of the jewel
song, as well as her wonderful vocaliza-
ton in the trio in the last act.
Georges Simodet was the Faust, and
scored emphatically with his rendition Of
the "Salve Dimora." His duet with Miss
Savage in the garden scene was handled
in satisfying fashion, and he proved es-
pecIally happy in the finale.
There were no other changes In the
cast At the matinee today Miss Crosby
will sing Marguerite and Mr.. Sclarretti
Faust while at the evening performance.
Miss Savage and Mr.. Simodet will again
be heard.

BUSINESS MEETING IS HELD

The efforts of the Washington Archi-
tectural Club will be added to those Of
many others working for the preserva-
ton of Belmont. the estate of the late A.
L. Barber.
At a meeting held in the clubrooms, a.
1917 H Street Northwest last night. the
club went on record as favoring the pur-
chase of Belmont by the government.
instead of its being built up. as propose
by a real estate dealer.
The architects pointed out that the es-
tate will be needed as a breathing space
In a few years hence. owing to the rapid
development of the vicinity. They advo-
Gated the grounds being used for a park,
or for any other purpose the govern
ment sees fit, providing II is not built up.
Arthur L. Blakeslee. vice president o.
the club. brought the matter to the at
tention of the members and explained
why the property should be preserved as
il now stands.
At the regular monthly business meet
ing Frederick owen submitted the de-
sign of the new club pin. with which he
won the first prize in the recent compe-
tition. lie bears the emblem of the club.

valid, according to the statement of
w. s. Duvali. legal counsel OF the Wash
ington Motorists Association, at a meet
ing OF the automobilists last night at
the Grafton Hotel
The meeting was called to protest
against bill sent to Congress by the
Commissioners, in which IL was asked
that the board be given authority to
change regulations, and among other
things to impose such taxes as they saw
fit
Mr.. Duvall read a letter which has
been sent to the Senate District Com
mittee. In the letter. IL was asked that
the bill be tabled. 1t was stated that IL
a certain candidate for Commissioner"
said to be opposed to automobiles wers
given the authority asked for in the bill
II would mean the end OF the automobile
business in Washington.
That the ordinance forcing vehicles to
stop fifteen feet behind street cars at
crossings was not valid. was the opinion
expressed by Mr.. Duvall. He further
stated that a motive of the bill was to
make District Automobiles pay taxes
nearly as high as those assessed Mary
land motorists in this city.
Lack OF organization, according to Mr.
Duvall. was responsible for what he
termed excessive taxes and oppressive
laws. He said that II motorists had stood
together, that automobiles would have
been taxed no more than are horses

CAPITAL TRACTION
FILES COMPLAINT
Street Railway Company Tells Utli-
lies Cars Delays Frequently Are
Caused by he Police,

Complaint was made yesterday to the
Public Utilities Commission by the Cap
ital Traction Company that frequent de-
lays on the lines OF the company have
been caused by the unlawful act and
direction" of officers and members OF
the police force Of the District
The complaint. which was signed by
George z. Hamilton, president OF the
company, cites a number OF instances
where cars on the various lines or the
company have been delayed on account
OF small civic parades. He names the
suffragist parade on April Z. the Knights
Templar parade on May l, and the pa
rade of the High School Cadets on
May s.
Investigation Of the complaint has
been made by Maj. Sylvester, Superin-
tendent Of Police, who, in report to
the commission. states that IN the mat
ter Of parades the Police Department
has done much to minimize their num-
Der and extent within the past few years,
and in that action has eliminated much
of the disorder and obstruction formerly
associated with the marching of bands"
II am Of the firm impression and be-
lief" continues the report. that the
disposition OF the members Of the police
force at all times and on all occasions
Is to further the movements OF the
street cars. as Is expressed IN the re-
port OF Sergt. Headley, and am also
of the opinion that the disposition or
some Of the inspectors toward officers
is. at times, very provoking.
IF the inclination Of the police was
otherwise. will state that there Is not
an hour In the day when, for some
trivial failing on the part or the en-
ployes OF the street railway companies.
they would not be subject to adverse
report. but in these regards the ponce
have avoided being too technical In the
enforcement OF some of the regulations.
feeling that such matters could properly
be adjusted by a full cooperation be-
tween the police and the employees OF
the street railway companies. by way
of warnings and corrections, rather than
by unnecessary charges"

M'REYNOLDS PLANS
TOBACCO Proceedings
Attorney General, Dissatisfied with
the Course Of Last Administration,
Brings Matter Before Cabinet.
POLICY NOT YET DEFINED

The Wilson administration is planning
a new move against the American To-
bacco Company. That became apparent
yesterday when it was learned that prac-
ucally the entire session Of the Cabi-
net meeting was taken up with the
consideration OF the decree entered
against the Tobacco Trust as the result
OF the Supreme Courts decision holding
1t TO be a combination in violation of the
sherman antitrust law. Whether the
move now contemplated by the Wilson
administration involves new suits or leg
islation was not learned
One report was to the effect that the
matter considered by the Cabinet related
10 a proposed amendment to the tariff
Dill affecting the tobacco interests.
1t has been well known that Attorney
General McReynolds never was satisfied
with the decree entered in the Tobacco
trust case. He was the government s
special attorney In the prosecution of
that case, and he was bitterly opposed
10 the acceptance by Mr. Wickersham
on the part Of the government OF the
decree entered in the lower court
Mr.. McReynolds contended that the de-
cree did not conform to the decision of
the Supreme Court in the Tobacco case,
and re urged that the request of the in
dependents to appeal from this decree 10
the Supreme Court OF the United States
be granted. Mr.. Wickersham, however,
declined the request
There has been little doubt in Wash
ington that Mr.. McReynolds, now that
he is Attorney General would reopen the
tobacco case II II were possible IL has
been commended. however. that he could
not reopen the decree and that some
new action by the Federal government
would be necessary IL be were to accom-
plish the reforms which he contended
ought to have been incorporated in the
decree.
The belief is that Mr.. McReynolds is
moving toward this end. but whether the
action will take the form of legislation
or court proceedings was not certain.
