RECEPTION GIVEN
VIRGINIA O'BRIEN
Enjoyable Gathering of Prima Donas
Friends at Knights of CoIum-
bus Home.

Miss Virginia O'Brien, a former
Bennington young woman who has
made a remarkable success in comic
opera and who is passing a portion of
her summer vacation with friends in
Bennington, was given reception Fri
day evening at the Knights of Colum-
bus home on west Main street.
The affair arranged with little time
for preparation by the knights and
the Daughters Of Isabella, was infor-
NAL and for this reason all the more
enjoyable. Many Of the guests are
personal friends of the young prima
donna, who received them in man
ner that put everyone at ease and the
gathering had more of the atmosphere
of family party than a reception to
rising star of the operate stage.
The intensely interested expression
on the faces of the audience and the
whole hearted applause that follow
ed Miss O'Brlen's every number was
sufficient evidence Of appreciation, but
II will not detract in the least to inti
mate that perhaps the young woman 8
pleasing personality was a big factor
in making the evening the unqualified
success it proved to be- The fact that
Miss O'Brien is an undenyingly pretty
young woman with cameo like fea-
lures, beautiful head Of fluffy hair
and a smile as radiant as sunshine
on a perfect June day also helped
quite bit, Those who were fortunate
enough to hear and see her Friday
evening can we'll understand why her
encores lengthen the productions with
which she has been appearing before
large city audiences.
Miss O'Brien played her own accom-.
paniments and was assisted by several
local singers and musicians. The pro
gram follows:

QUESTION BEFORE COURT
Does Massachusetts Lose Jurisdiction
of Liquor Law Violations?


Boston, July 9.-Did the courts Of
Massachusetts lose jurisdiction of
prosecutions made under its statutes
for violation of the liquor laws when
the 18th amendment to the Consttu-
tion of the United States took effect?
That question was argued before the
full bench of the supreme court today
and on its answer depends at least 100
cases on the superior calendar, In the
case heard today counsel for the ap-
pelant who was found guilty in the su-
perior court of selling liquor, contend
ed that until Massachusetts in compli-
ance with provisions of the 18th amend
ment enacted appropriate legislation
the state had lost all right to prose-
cute.

Chicago, July 10.--A coroner's in

shooting drew a new angle to the case.

the twin mysteries of the $500 Mrs.

was the weapon which was supposed
to have been used by the stranger to
kill Mrs. Wanderer, as it was found
by the mans body.
The police also said they could not
understand how, with ten shots fired
at a range of less than three feet,
Wanderer escaped unscathed. while
fboth his wife and the other man were
killed.. ..,..,.

Chicago July 10.--Albert II. Meads,
father of Robert T. Meads, the Dart
mouth student who killed a fellow stu
dent a short time ago in a fight over
a bottle of liquor, has demanded the

Canadian whiskey which had been

many Dartmouth students and that
President Hopkins is to blame for it.
Dartmouth alumni in Chicago brand
this demand of Meads as 'preposter-
