STAR CLUB SEES "PANTHEA."
Pictures of Monckton Hoffe's Drama
Shown to Members and Guests.

The Evening Star Club entertained
members and their guests last evening
in its clubroom with a presentation of
Norma Talmadge in "Panthea," adapted
from the drama by Monckton Hoffe for
the Selznick Picture Company, and
loaned to the club through the courtesy
Of Sidney B. Lust, local representa-
tive.
The story of "Panthea" deals with a
young Russian girl, who, falsely ac-
cused by the secret police of revolu-
tionary activities. escapes to England
and marries struggling composer. In
Paris Panthea's husband suffers many
disappointments in an effort to have
his opera produced. He gives way I'M
der the strain and the physician tells
Panthea that the only way in which
her husbands life can be saved is
through the realization of his musical
ambition.
Driven to desperation. Panthea sub
mits to a dishonorable proposal in order
to save her husbands life. The opera
is produced, and on the eve of his
triumph Panthea's husband discovers
the dishonorable relationship. The rec
onciliation of the couple comes when
the long arm of the Russian police
stretches forth to snatch Panthea from
Paris for exile to Siberia.

CHARGES AGAINST PAPERS
NOT TO BE INVESTIGATED
House Puts Off Desired Probe by
Representative Moore Because
Of Objection.

Objection by Representative Adair of
Indiana today prevented the House
from considering a resolution by Rep
resentative Moore of Pennsylvania to
investigate charges Representative CAL
laway of Texas inserted into the Record,
February 9. that American newspapers
had been subsidized by English money,
under the direction of J. L. Morgan &
Co. and others.

of honest Journalism"

been wasted on investigation of mat

Il am assured by Mr.. Galloway" Mr..
Moore replied, that he can prove his
charges"
I'VE also were told by man named
Lawson that he could prove certain
things, Mr.. Adair responded.
Mr.. Moore indicated that he would
call up his resolution again. 1t would
provide for an appropriation of $50 900
for making the inquiry. He was drawn
into the controversy over the alleged
control of American newspapers by re-

BRIEF IN ELECTION CASES.
Federal Government Seeks to Have
Its Powers Defined.

Seeking definition of federal authority
over primaries and elections. Assistant
Attorney General William Wallace, jr.
for the government, today filed a brief
in the Supreme Court of the United
States in four election fraud cases
which have been sent to the highest
court on appeal Many charges Of mis-
conduct at elections in different Sec
lions Of the country are being held in
allegiance in the expectation that the
ruling in the pending cases may make
plain the course to be pursued by the
government in the prosecution Of the
other cases.
The four cases have been advanced
and set for argument March 6. The
government contends for its broad
power to insure free and fair primaries
and elections wherever candidates for
federal positions are being nominated
or elected, and that Congress has, UNI
der this power and by sections 81 and
10 of the federal penal code, safeguard
ed primaries and elections against
bribery, among other forms of miscon-
duct, if done under a plan or con-
spiracy.

Brown-Stanley Concert.

1t is gratifying to attend concert Civ
en- entirely by American talent. This
country has long been accustomed to
hear of the discovery of a promising vo-
calist or instrumentalist. only to be in
formed afterward that he was not able
to meet the competition of foreign musi-
Clans. OF late, however, Americans have
worked their way to the front musicaly
and have been able to remain there. This
truth has never been better substantiated
than by the beautiful concert at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday by Ed6y Brown,
American violinist, and Helen Stanley.

Mr.. Keating's Views.

wherever women take the same re-
sponsibility and do the same work they
should be paid the same as men, Rep
resentative Heating said. IF women
are to work as machinists they should
be paid by the hour at exactly the same
rate as men machnists, and not few
cents an hour less"
Mr. Heating said he had no knowl-
edge of the War Departments call for
woman operatives, except through a
newspaper article which stated the
Labor Department had been asked to
furnish thousand women for factory
work.
However, 1 will study the situation,
and if necessary will introduce and
work for the proper legislation to place
these women on the same pay scale as
men"
Representative Heating is the author
of resolution calling on the Presi-
dent for information as to the state
ment made in government clerk circles
that the War Department discriminates
regularly against woman employees.

Opposition to the employment of

Department of Labor that the War De-
partment had called upon the United
States employment service to secure
positions for men and women-the lat
ter as sewing machine operators-in
munitions plants, was greeted today
with mixed approval and disapproba-
ton.
Some officials today expressed the
oninion that women certainly should
not be employed in such factories -un-
til war actually came, at least.
