ALTSCHULER Directs
PATRIOTIC ENSEMBLE

The Russian Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Modest Altschuler, gave
a concert at the National Theater yes
terday afternoon with Bernard Alt
schuler, the well-known 'cellist, as
soloist
This concert was the third of a series
of ten arranged by T. Arthur Smith to
bring to Washington the best music.
In a program of great variety, rang
ing from the "Pathetique" Symphony
of Tschaikowsky to an arrangement
of allied hymns by Glazunov, the au-
dience were pleasingly II not classi-
cally entertained.
In the lighter numbers Mr.. Alt
schuler interpreted with particular
charm, receiving a large ovation after
little Russian Folk Song. This num-
ber was so well appreciated that Mr..
Altschuler repeated II to the delighted
audience.
Bernard Altschuler was encored
after a little Gavotte by Pepper. which
he played most effectively. Mr.. Alt
schuler has a depth Of tone which is
most pleasing.
A most magnificent arrangement of
the allied national airs by Glazunov
was played while the audience stood
at attention, bringing to a close this
program with Dixie" The audience
left with the feeling Of having attend
ed a patriotic ensemble rather than a
symphony concert. The program fol-
lows:

sky). O Adagio, Allegro non troppo.

Federal Employees Union
Considers Petition to
Congress.

As q practical remedy against the
high cost Of living, the FEDERAL EN-
ployes' Union OF Washington. through
its board Of Representatives. last
night voted to consider the petition
ing Of Congress. the Secretary of
War and the Secretary Of the Navy
to permit government employees 70
buy supplies at the army and navy
commissaries.
The special committee which con-
sidered the question recommended Pc
titioning Immediately. but the mat
ter was referred to the advisory COM
nlittee for a report and recommends
ton at the next meeting.
Should the employees succeed In their
desire 1t would mean that they could
take advantage OF the low prices
which the government secures through
its immense purchases of foodstuffs
and commodities and the head of ,tRe
family, ~ a prudent buyer. could
place his dependents on army ra-
tions atI q cost Of 70 cents a day
per person.
Street car facilities were roundly
scored and John s. Ginder offered a
resolution that Congress investigate,
with view to suggesting some meas
ure of relief for conditions that have
demoralized some Federal depart
ments through tardy employees. That
matter also went to the advisory
committee for a report.
President John 8. Beach felt that
the organization should take some
part in civic affairs, and suggested
that a member OF the board Of rep
resentatives be named for member
ship in the trade bodies and the civic
organizations. That matter will also
be discussed by a special committee
which will report later.

PRINCE GEORGE
COUNTY LIQUOR
LAW IS valid
Baltimore Court Upholds
Constitutionality Of Test
Case Measure.
Special to n. w..hinr.ou Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Baltimore, Nd. Nov. 8.-The law
passed by the war emergency session
Of the Maryland legislature, making
Prince George County dry, after June
1. was declared constitutional here to-
day by Judge Heuisler, In the Baiti-
more city court. and old John Barley
corn. already staggering from repeat
ed blows suffered another knock
down.
The decision Of Judge Heuisler was
rendered in a case brought to test
the constitutionality of the law,
which State officials declared, went
into effect last June. The vets con-
tended that the law did not become
operative until June /, 1918.
Edward Mahoney, Of Bladensburgh,
Nd. was arrested by the authorities
charged with violating the statute
by having liquor in his possession
and unlawfully selling it.
? Dry Faction Wins.
The constitutionality of the law
questioned in habeas corpus proceed
ings brought by council for Mr.. Ma
honey. 1t was attacked on the
theory that. under the constitution of
the State. 1t should not become opera :
tive until June /, following the ses-
sion Of the General Assembly at
which 1t was passed.
Counsel brought forward by the dry
forces to uphold the constitutionallty
OF the law. which included Wayne B.
Wheeler. for the Anti-Saloon League
OF America, contended the law was
not unconstitutional and became eff
fective June 1 this year by reason of
the fact that it was q war emergency
measure. - -
Judge Heuisler upheld the conten-
tion of the drys and declared the law
constitutional and held Mahoney for
action Of the grand Jury for Prince
George County.
In order to test the law II was
decided that Mr.. Mahoney should
open his bar and sell liquor. He did
so and sold a drink Of whisky to the
sheriff and was Immediately arrest
ed.
With the constitutionality OF the
law making Prince George County
dry one of the last consultations which
has fingered in the" hearts Of those
opposed to dry Washington has
been wiped out.
No longer will It be possible for
them to slip out q short distance be-
yond the District line and get "a
little drink" The famous road houses
that have fourished for years along
the Bladensburg road and the vicini-
ty will be forced to stop selling
spurious liquors.
