Austin-Nichols Co. Denies
Attempt to Violate
Food Orders

The president and vice-president Of
Inc Austin-Nichols Company, wholesale
grocers, doing an annual business of
more than $3O,00O,00O, appeared yester-
day before Arthur Williams, local food
administrator, at his headquarters, 22O
West Fifty-seventh Street, to answer
allegations that their company had
charged II cents a pound for sugar. a
price in excess of Federal regulations.
Inc president, Harry Balfe, and his
associate executive, j. C. Nathan, pro-
duced official records with which 10
support their defence, and the hearing
developed series Of tilts and argu,
ments on business ethics.
Mr.. Balfe attempted to prove him.

he expressed it,

Mr.. Balfe said. "But I know more
about food than any one on it. You
don't know the food situation. You are
not posted"
The testimony Of the company's ex-
ecutives was to the effect that the
charge they made for sugar was not
illegal, because it was not violation
OF specific regulation. and that it was
not done in a surreptitious manner.
Two ditfcrentials, or additional
charges, which have not been barred
ofhclally, were put on the cost to
buyers. One was an additional four
lenths OF cent pound to restaurants
and hotels, because, Mr.. Balfe said.
such deliveries were put into the estab
llshments of the buyers, while grocers'
purchases were left on the sidewalk
The other differential was half a cent
a pound for brcakage charges. Far IN.

then ship the fifty pounds in smaller
bag - entailing repacking an add
t!onal charge of 25 cents was made for
the labor and material involved in the
transaction.
Mr.. Balfe insisted emphaticallv that
his concern was as "clean as hounds
TOOTH" and invited the government to
put 1T out of business if it were guilty
OF prohteering. On the other hand. he
demanded vindication if the charges
we're found to be without foundation in
fact. N'''''' ~

Mr.. Wllllams's statement that there
was no effort at concealment will clear
the company. Mr.. Balfe and his asso-
clates called attention to the fact that
their concern had been doing business
Feventy-eight years and could not have
survived by Inscriptions methods.

Conductor. Pierre Monteux

Conductor Pierre Monteux
Jules Massenet's That's" which was
sung for the first time at the Metro
politan last season, was revived again
yesterday afternoon. Of course, Nine.
Geraldine Farrar sang the title role,
as the opera has manifestly been given
only to provide new vehicle in which
to present the protean talents Of
Americas most popular prima donna
Muslcally, the work is negligible,
though the famous meditation" is a
we'll written and graceful melody, in
which microscopic religious pill
deeply buried in triple extract of
Partisan sugar is swallowed easily and
eagerly. Manifold are the uses of
religion and temptation to the COM
poser who is willing to write with his
tongue in his cheek. Massenet's opera
IS far cry from the story Of Anatole
France, yet no protest has ever arisen
from the novelist over the twisting of
his ironic emphasis. A contemptuous
federation is the essence of M. France
This liberation evidently extends as
far even as to the children of his own
brain.
Nine. Farrar succeeds better as the
saint than as the sinner In the first
act she shows no spontaneity, no brill
lance. She enters not as a whirlwind,
but as zephyr. Alexandria was an
parently easy to excite. But as she
grows in holiness she grows in credi-
bility. She dies quite in the odor of
sancity. In the opening scenes yes
terday she was in poor voice, but the
| increase of virtue cleared her throat
as we'll as her soul. At the end she
sang very we'll, indeed.
The Athanael was Clarence White
hill, who despite the fact that some of
the music was high for his voice, gave
remarkable impersonation, an imper-
sonstion worthy Of a place beside that
of Maurice Renaud's. 1t was not as
suave conception as that of the
French barytone, but it was one OF
great power and extraordinary spirit
uality. In figure, in facial expression
it depicted poignantly the suffering
soul of the monk Mr.. Whitehll's die
ton, in addition. has never been sur
passed on the stage of the Metropoli-
tan. A new tenor, Rafael Diaz, made
his debut with the company as Nicias
giving an adequate representation OF
the part.
Miss Egener's beauty was striking as
Myrtale. 1t might be asked, however
why the two coquettish little slaves
should have been CARRIED with such i'm
peccable modesty? Pierre Monteux
conducted.
In the evening "The Daughter of the
Regiment" was repeated, with Signor
Scott again giving his splendid i'm
personation of the Napoleonic soldier
Miss Hempel sang the title part, and
Mr. Papi conducted.

sive ring service in the presence of a
few friends and relatives.
The attractive Williams home on
jefferson street was never lovelier than
on this occasion. Although simplicity
was the keynote prevailing, an appro-
pirate color motif of white and green
was most effectively developed in the
decorations. Southern smilax, white
lilies and butterfly bows of white tulle
were artistically arranged in the hall
and rooms of ceremony. From the
center of the rooms white satin ribbons
led to the beautifully designed altar,
where clusters of the lovely flowers.
dainty vines and several handsome ar
delabra, filled with white and green ia
pers, formed the perfectly executed
background for the bridal party.

Mrs. George Richmond, in her usual
charming manner, sweetly sang mo

Scales George, wearing a conventional
suit of white, entered the room, bear.
ing the ring. 1t rested upon a hand
some white satin pillow. in one corner
of which the date of the wedding was
embroidered in pearls.
Preceding the bride, who entered on
the arm of the groom, came the dainty
little lower-girl, Katherine Roberta
Herbert, wearing a lovely white hand
made frock, in French design with
touches of pink, and carrying a basket
of pink rose petals.
For the ceremony, the bride was
gowned in a handsome broad-cloth suit,
in tete de negre shade, with hat and &C.
~cessories IN harmony. She carried a
shower bouquet of bridal roses and
valley lilies.
An informal reception followed, after
which Mr.. Glover and his bride left for
Az automobile trip before going to
their home. For travelling, Mrs. Clio
yer wore a becoming French model of
jersey cloth, with touhes of turquoise
blue, and hat TO match.
The bride has been a social favorite
in her home city and all over the state.
where she enjoys a wide circle of
friends. Her family is one of the old
est in this section. having always been
prominent in both social and business
circles.
The groom is a successful business
man of Americas, where he is president

big Bud" Makes Protest.

When "Big Bud" Cavett. newly-elect-
ed member of the Lower House from
Noxubee county, was taking the oath
of office Monday afternoon before
Speaker Conner, he objected to that
clause reading as follows:
81 will not vote for any measure or
person because of a promise Of any
other member of this Legislature to
vote for any measure or person."
"Read that over again." said the vet
eran from Noxubee. He was plainly
puzzled.
The speaker read it again, explaining
that the purpose of the clause is to
prevent trading of votes.
"Ain't the boys doing that any
more?" asked Mr.. Cavett.
And then the Speaker was embar-
raised. He couldn't truthfully make
an answer in the negative.
"Well, go ahead, III say it anyhow"
said Mr.. Cavett. "But it certainly will
seem queer if they have really quit
trading votes in this body" jackson
