|PAVLOWA IDEALIZES
TERPSICHOREAN ART

Musical art in the realm Of the
Car occupies position second only
TO the art OF the dance. Both arts
have as a basis the quality OF i'm
pressionistic realism, quality attrt-
butable to peculiar racial tempera-
ment.
Russians are pre-eminently an ex-
pressive people and In their music and
their dancing find a safety valve for
the expression OF their emotions. Both
arts as projected by them have a uni
versaI appeal because both are easily
understood Both glow with the spirit
OF reality and ssethe with life and
animation. II might be said that the
attribute Of realism in the Russian
code recognizes only thu things which
appeal to the finer instincts and the
higher emotions.
This lofty ideal was first revealed
In tho dancing OF Mile. Anna Pavolwa
three or four years ago when she
first came to intimate notice OF tho
American public. Almost Immediate
" thereafter Russian music was
signally recognized and honored by
the production OF two characteristic
Russian operatic works. Tschaiko w-
sky's ''Pique Dame" and Moussorg-
sky's Boris Godounoff' by the Metro
pol'tan Opera Company, New York.
America has had opportunity to
study and learn of Russian music art
and the dance art through the inter-
pretations of Mile. Pavlowa, the great
est exponent OF Terpsichore and the
most able adapter of Russian music
In the world today. During her forth
coming engagement in this city at the
Academy tomorrow matinee and
night. under the direction OF Mrs.
Groner further opportunities of learn
Ing the Russian art will be given The
repertoire of Mile. Paviowa contains
n number OF dances which have been
given inspired by some of the world 3
greatest composers, among them be-
Ing Arensky. Glinka, Rimsky- kor-
sakoff. Glazonnoff' Tschaikowsky and
Moussorgsky. For it is the work of
these modernists WATCH have added
beauty and vitality to a previously lit
tie known choreographic art

OIL TOOK form today In statement
from Representative Lenroot of Wis
consln, member of the House confer
ence committee. who says the bill now
insures the complete giving away of
Aiaska and that '.it reveals what the
democrats of the Senate will do when
ever they get the opportunity"
The conference report has been pre-
sented In the House and is ready for a
vote The bill makes possible laws
and regulations for leasing the coal
lands of Alaska and opening up the
public lands there for development.
Representative Lenroot's statement
today says:
"The main purpose of the Senate in
passing the Alaska coal bill seems to
have been not to develop Alaska but to
give the Guggenheim Cunningham
coal claimants another opportunity to
grab it.
The bill provides that all claimants
shall be subject to valid existing
rights, and then throws open the doors
OF the district courts of Alaska for
suits against the United States to de-
termine their rights after it has leased
the coal. The result would be no coal
lands would be leased at all except to
these various claimants, for any one
else instead of securing a lease would
be buying a law suit"

VIOLATION OF OYSTER LAW,
Reported Dredging at Various Points
in Advance of Season.

1t is asserted by the masters of oyster
buying boats that though the dredging
season on Chesapeake bay and it's tribu-
taries. including the Potomac river, does
not open until November 1. boats are
daily dredging in violation of law on
the natural rocks which should be left
undisturbed for the next four weeks. In

fully fifty scrape boats at work using
small hand dredges that are taking uuan-
titles of oysters from the beds unlawfully.
1t is further declared that back of Smiths
Island ten or more boats are in opera
ton, and Off Point Lookout larger craft
are employed in dredging. The catch
made by these craft is not brought to
market. but is taken to packing houses on
!! the bay. where they are sold at 25 cents
a bushel.
Both Maryland and Virginia employ an
expensive fleet of vessels to enforce the
oyster protection laws Of the state, and the
oystermen making complaint are inouir-
| ing where are the police boats that they
cannot see fiagrant violations of the law
that are known all about the oyster-tak-
