PAYS fine OF SIS
FOR STRIKING USHER
Boy Had Commented Over Conduct
in Theater.

There are so many slackers. so
many pacifiists and hot-headed radl-
Gals and German sympathizers about
these days" said Judge Mullowny in
Police Court yesterday morning to
John L. Rogers, charged with assault
ing Dan NJ. Brown, an usher in a mo-
tion picture show, that when a man
remains seated when the Star
Spangled Banner Is played. the peo-
pie around him who notice him can
not be blamed If they are suspicious
Of his patriotism"
Rogers arrest grew out of his strik-
ing Brown Thursday night as the lat
ter made a remark to another usher
%uout Rogers being seated when the
orchestra played the Star Spangled
Banner. Rogers took offense at tho
rpparent slur and struck the usher
in the jaw, knocking two teeth loose
Rogers, accompanied by his wife
and little one. visited the show that
night, and succeeded in putting the
child to sleep across his lap and that
of his wife. The child was not well.
Rogers told Judge Mullowny, and the
best way for himself and others in
the show to enjoy the picture was to
get the baby to sleep.
While the court saw no reason to
reprimand Rogers for a lack of
patriotism, his excuse for not stand
ing up seeming to be reasonable, u
did censure him for the lack or
provocation in hitting the usher.
Furthermore" the court said, "a
moving picture show is no place for
sick child" Rogers was fined SO,
which he paid.

Governor Lynn J. Frazier. Of North

aid in a new kind Of problem
The Governor told the Department
Of Labor that the people Of his State
are getting SO law-abiding that they
can't supply enough criminals TO keep
the State penitentiary full.
And as a result, the State binder
twine factory, operated in the peni-
tentiary. is suffering from a labor
shortage and turning out no more
than fifty per cent OF its normal
capacity.
The Governor doesn't know for the
life Of him what the farmers are 60

while he hasn't suggested sending
any more men to prison, he is asking
the advice of the old heads in Wash

MISS GATES Charms
D. c. MUSIC Lovers
Mrs. Wilson and Other Notables at
Seasons Last Symphony Concert.

With Miss Lucy Gates. the AmerI-
can coloratura sporano. as soloist.
and Walter Damrosch conducting.
the Symphony Society OF New York
gave the last symphony concert Of
the season at the Belasco Theater
yesterday afternoon before q large
audience that included Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, the Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court and Mrs. White, and a
long list Of notable box-holders.
The feature was the solo of Miss
Gates. The Bell Song from Lakme,
by Delibes, and the sporano gave
such charm to the beautiful song that
she was recalled four times before
the enthusiastic applause subsided.
With this number Miss Gates eradi-
Gated the Disappointment many had
felt after announcement that Mime.
Galli-Curci would be unable to ap-
pear, as was originally planned, be-
cause Of illness.
Miss Gates sang Una voce poce
ia" from Barber of Seville, by Ros-
sini, as the closing number. and while
she did not reach the height that she
attained in THE Bell Song" she was
thrice recalled to bow.
The first number was Brahms Aca
demic Festival Overture, the least
successful on the program probably
because it was the first. The or
chestra scored in the symphony, In
the Forest" one of the best known of
Joachim Raffs eleven. The best
artistry of the orchestra was heard
in the fourth and last movement, AT
Night" The third. Dance of the
Dryads," D minor, 3-4, allegro asai.
won approval with its dainty mixture
of flutes and yiolins.
The first movement. I'm the Sunlight"
F major. 3-4. allegro. was effectively
given with its pleasing motive of
hunting horn and the second, In the
Twilight" A-flat major. largo. with
the wonderful coloring for which Raft
is famed, was skillful orchestral
work, but neither received the appro-
baton that greeted the third and
fourth movements.
The other numbers included Prelude
TO Act 5, 'Lohengrin." Wagner; Good
Friday Spell, "ParsifaI." Wagner,
and Dance Of the Apprentices. Die
Meistersinger." Wagner.

tions and the assistance of all church
workers will be made from the pulpits
of the churches at services Sunday

A stirring appeal was made yester-
day by DR.. McKim. who said: "It Is
my personal conviction that the Cen
trail Union Mission is doing one of the
greatest public services done by any
charitable organization in this coun-
try. IT. should have the support of
every church in the city of Washing
ton and every patriotic citizen should
be able to make a subscription, no
matter how small. to support it."
DR.. Miller urged greater efforts In
the continuance of the drive for funds
and brought home to the workers sew
eral concrete cases of persons saved
by the mission.
A total of 5000 was reported by the
workers yesterday as a result Of the
forenoon's work. This brings the
grand total up to nearly 5000. Team

Onions grown from seed require the
