''verboten'' Sign; Bene-
fit for Singers Planned

The Star Opera Company decided
last night to abandon it's plan to pro-
duce German opera in English at the
Lexington Theater. The German sing
ers, headed by Otto Goritz, who last
week succeeded in presenting their
operas while the police fought with
protesting rioters in the streets, will
not again attempt to perform until
after the ratification of the peace
treaty, it was announced
$50 far az German opera, sung either
in English or in German. is concerned
we have sung our swan song said the
managers last night as they turned the
lights out. About five hundred seat
holders crowded into the lobby and de-
manded to know why the place was so
dimly lit. An attendant, speaking in
German, presently appeared to an
nouncc that the opera had been "ver-
boten."
Weber Opera Scheduled
Announcement had been made that
the company would present Carl Maria
English as n substitute for opera in
German, which was prohibited by the
refusal of Justice Leonard Geigerich
on Monday to continue temporary in
junction protecting the company. Theo-
dorc Spiering had been selected as the
conductor.
Only a half dozen policemen stood
guard last night in the theater's vicin-
ity at Fifty-frst Street and Lexington
Avenue. AS the expectant operagoers
walked into the lobby with their tickets

the press representative. He was busy
writing out an explanation why the
opera was. not to be given. He said it
was because the theater had been
ers refused to permit any other kind
of opera to be given. He pictured the
promoters as being between two fires
the demand of the theater owners
that only German opera be given and
the order of the authorities that it
was prohibited.
Benefit for Singers Planned
DR.. Oberndorf intimated that the
none too prosperous financially be-
cause of the failure of their plans.
He said benefit concert was being
planned for Saturday night--in Eng
lish.
One thing that attracted the atten-
ton of the ticket holders last night
was that the box office was dark. Dr..
AOberndorf said the method Of reim
burslnc those who bought tickets would
be decided upon to-day. At the same
time the German speaking attendant
in the lobby was announcing that the
money would be refunded to-day. I

tional measures to curb activities of
radicals were introduced to-day in

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2s.-By a vote
of 65 to 90, eight more than the
necessary two-thirds majority, the
Senate to-day passed the prohibition
enforcement bill over the Ples;-
dents veto. and it is now ,aw
The law prohibits the sale OF aag
beverage containing more than one
half of one per cent of alcohol
The lineup of the Senators in the
vote attracted much attention. DRY"
Senators, such as King and Robinson.
who hitherto have voted for every
measure desired by the Anti-Saloon
League, voted against overriding the
veto because they did not wish to op-
pose the President. "Wet" Senators.
who have been last-ditchers against
the dry wave, voted to pass the bill
over Mr.. Wilson's veto because they
statute books should be enforced, little
as they personally might like the
laws. One Senator, Borah, voted
against it because he wanted more
time to consider the question before
voting to override veto.
Just after the vote was announced
statement was put out at the White
House that the wartime prohibition
woul. be lifted after the ratification
Va Jig pcaSc treaty. NO IoIUldi state
inent was issued to this effect, but the
| newspaper men were assured Of it's
correctness.
New York Senators Split
This is taken to mean that ths
will MT wait for the ratification OF
the treaty with Austria, but will act
as soon as the treaty with Germany
is ratified. Since the Austrian treaty
has not even been submitted to the
Senate oy the President. action on
that cannot be had for long time
The "irys" have been contending that
until the Austrian treaty is ratified,
as we'll as the German, the United
States will be legally in Il state of
war.
The difference in the line of thought
governing Senators on the vote is well
illustrated by the two New York SEN
ators, both of whom are pronounced
"wets." Yet Mr.. Wadsworth voted to
override the veto, because he Thought
the failure OF the enforcement law
would result in an unsa.isfac ctory stu
alton, doing no good in the way of get
ting the govrnment the s40O. 900 900 in

would bring and yet creating bad
situation throughout the country,
while Senator Calder, desiring the lift
ing of wartime prohibition just as
much, voted to sustain .he President
The New Jersey Senators divided the
same way Frelinghuysen voting to
override the veto and Edge to sustain
the President
"Drys~ Win First Test
The test came on a motion to pro-
ceed to the consideration of legislative
business. This would decide whether
the Senate should take up the prohi
bition enforcement bill or proceed with
the treaty. The "drys" won this on the
comparatively close vote of 43 to 3s.
The New York and New Jersey Sen
ators divided in the same way OH this
vote. The vote on overriding the Pros
ident7s veto then was taken

EFFICIENCY ADDED
TO FIRE CONTROL
BY M'C0NAHA Bill

State Senator Walter McConaha
who last week introduced bill in
the Indiana senate providing that fire,
men in Indiana cities should be dis
missed only for cause, thinks that
such an act would greatly help the
efficiency of fire departments OF the
state.
efficiency above everything else
is what you want in your fire depart
ment," said the senator Saturday
morning.
IF you have fire in your house
you don't want green fireman fight
ing it, who has to be told where the
fire plug is, or how to use the hose
cart"
"Of course fireman should be dis
missed for cause, either inefficiency
or misconduct, but my bill provides
for that. Outside Of that fireman
should have the assurance that his
Job will last and he won't be made the
victim of the next political change.
81 think it would add to the eff
cheney of other city departments to
pass the same law regarding them,
but don't intend introducing any more
bills to that effect myself"
Senat tor McConaha said that the
firemen's bill had met with no oppo-
sition so far and he hoped it would
pass.
1.-THE work Of the upper house has
been mostly routine so far, but with
III bills already introduced and 9TH
ers coming over from the house by
basketsful, we are going to be pretty
busy soon," he said.

by officials of the service. It was said
that during the past ten days all mem

1--WE are fully aware that such at

tense and other organizations, the fed
eral service had established 1850 bu-
reaus for returning soldiers in addi-
ton to the $50 offices that the employ
ment service itself organized and op.
crates and that already, more than
100000 returning soldiers have been
placed in employment and that an
average of 100000 persons were being
placed in various industries every
week.
Even now" he said, 1--WE are NOV
ing more than four thousand men a

ADMINISTRATION
AMENDMENTS up
next TUESDAY
Second Party Conference
Monday to Line up Mem
bers on Goodrich Measures.
(By Associated Press)

=
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. Practical
ly up to date on legislation pending
before 1t, the state senate again is TAX
ing another weekend vacation today
All the measures ready for action yes
terday afternoon were cleared off the
slate.
Attention was turned toward the
second Of a series Of Republican con-
ferences, which will be held probably
next Monday afternoon to discuss
and attempt to influence some anti
administration members to favor bills
and proposed constitutional amend
ments advocated by Governor Good
rich. Two such amendments come
before the senate at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon and it is understood that the
purpose Of the Monday conference Is
to obtain assurance of favorable ac-
ton on these by all Republicans. The
amendments provide that the clerk Of
the supreme court and the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction be
appointed instead of elected.
Following passage of the woman
suffrage amendment yesterday by the
senate, representatives of women's or
CARNATIONS are throwing their efforts
to procure passage of the presidential
suffrage bill and the defeat of the bill
legalizing Sunday motion pictures.
Progress Satisfactory.
For the fourth consecutive Saturday
since the opening Of the Indiana gen
, eral assembly, the lower house was
not in session today. The majority of
the members, following adjournment
yesterday afternoon went to their
homes outstate to remain until Mon
day when the house is reconvened at
2 o'clock.
Speaker Eschbach expressed his sat
isfaction with the progress that has
been made thus far. Each afternoon,
the house has been able to adjourn
early with the desk of the speaker
clear of business for consideration.
This has given the committees oppor-
tunity to consider carefully bills re-
ferred to them. Relatively few meas
ures have ben recommended for indefi-
mite postponement in committee, al
though there are many still in COM
mittee which were referred early in
the session. 1t is not unlikely that
large per cent. of these will die there.
The house thus far has passed on to
the senate thirty-five measures and
has received 245 bills.
