HAMS ANSWER
CHANGES PROBE
Power Investigators Placed
On Offensive by Text
Of Letter.

Its charges of inefHciency an
swered in a letter from William
F. Ham, president of the Potomac
Electric Power Company, as told ex-
clusively by The Herald yesterday,
the special committee of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers' Asso-
citation, probing recent shut-downs
in electric power, will meet this
afternoon to take action on Hams
reply.
Hams answer, the substance OF
which was that the failures in the
power system were unavoidable and
lkely to occur in any other plant,
put the committee again on the Of
fensive.
Practically the only courses which
the committee can pursue are to de-
eide upon installation of private
power plants, since the company
was unable to guarantee improved
service in the future; to appeal to
the Public Utilities Commission or
TO institute investigation into the
workings of the company's plants,
should the first plan, which AL
ready has received consideration. be
adopted, Washington merchants will
have to decide thereby whether the
expenditure needed for starting prI-
vate plants would be justified
through presumably improved
service.

Public Safety Group of the City

Mr. Rayner made it clear last

for five years. and which they be-

'CELLIST APPLAUDED

Tom Burke, an Irish tenor new
to this country. made his first
Washington appearance yesterday
afternoon at the National The
ater where capacity audience
heard him with the deepest interest.
Burke is an attractive looking
young man, dark, rather swsrthy
and with a magnetic personality
and poise. In all Of his singing the
result OF his years Of Italian train
ing was clearly shown.
Burke established himself en-
phatically with his audience when
he presented his first number, the
aria "otello's Prayer" from Yerdrs
"Otello." In response to tremendous
applause he sang GeehTs For You
Alone" A delightful rendition Of a
group Of songs completed his con-
quest Of his listeners. The selections
were "A Dream" (Grieg), The Gar
den Of Your Heart" CDoreD, "ouesta
o Quella," from Verdfs "Rigolet-
to-" and The Minstrel Boy" ar
ranged by Herbert Hughes. As an
encore 10 these selections the singer
charmed his audience with Mother
Machree."
Encores Many.
Five songs were supposed to
comprise Burkes final selections.
But they did not The group was
The Next Market Day" (Hughes),
The Tender Apple Blossom" (Coun-
3ty Derry, Believe Ne II All Those
Endearing Young Charms" The
Bold. Unbiddsble Child" (Stanford)
and "Macushlsh" (McMurrough).
Then an outburst Of applause was
unlOOsened which almost brought
down the house" La Donna e
Mobile" (Eerd) was sung. Then
came another round of applause to
which the singer responded with
Il Hear You Calling Me-" still the
audience would not be satisfied and
the Arioso from "Pagliacci" was
magnifcently rendered. The show
OF appreciation continued, and for
a finally concluding gem Burke
sang a 18th century Irish song "A
Ballynure Ballad"
'CeIIist MasterfaI.
As an assisting artist Helen
Scholder, a 'Cellist with an unusu-
ally charming personality. proved
one Of the most meritorious soloists
heard by local audiences. Her won
derful mastery Of the violoncello
was first demonstrated in Peppers
"Rhapsodie in D." For her second
number Miss Scholder selected, with
admirable judgment. Cadman's

Hazel Moore, soprano. was heard
in the aria "POlonaise" from
: Thomas "Mignon," "Berceuse"
(GrethChaninOw) and AT the

not demanded. A large share of
credit for triumphant performance
belongs to the accompanies, Frank

The marriage OF Miss Lillian H.
Armstrong, of Washington, to Senior
Don Francisco Sanchez Lateur, Sec
retary OF the Guatemalan legation,
will take place in the near future.
Miss Armstrong came to Washing
ton from Virginia two years ago
and has been making her home here
since.
Justice and Mrs. Mahlon Pitney
have returned to Washington after
spending the summer at Northeast
Harbor, Me. Their daughter, Miss
Beatrice Pitney, has returned TO
school.
The engagement of Nine. Ksth-
leen de Billy, widow Of Eduard de
Billy, former acting French high
commissioner to the United States,
to Robert Davis, commissioner of
the American Red Cross in Austria
and Hungary, has been announced
in Paris.
Mr.. Davis previous to entering
Red Cross work during the war, was
pastor of the Englewood Presby-
terian Church at EnElevood, n. j.,
for some years, and obtained his re-
lease from the pastorate to enter the
Red Cross service, in which he has
distinguished himself. During the
winter of 1917 he spoke at the
luncheon of the Merchants Associa-
tion given in this city, telling some
thing OF the sorrows and glories of
the fighting men. During his last
visit, in the winter of 1919. he spoke
at another gathering, telling how
the American negro won glory in
the war. He was very popular as
a minister in Englewood and is
comparatively young man. being in
his late thirties.
The late Edouard de Billy, acting
high commissioner of the French
Republic in this country in the alb
sence OF VI. Tardieu. was killed on
July II. 1919. by a fall from his
horse while riding in the Boise de
Boulogne in Paris. His sudden
death came as a shock to his many
friends and admirers here. as he
was recognized as one OF the fore
most advocates OF Franco-American
friendship. His death occurred
shortly after his return from this
country, and at that time it was
said that he had been selected as
the successor OF the ambassadorship
in the United States.
The news of the marriage is of
considerable interest to Washington,
as NJ. and Nine. de Billy were ex-
ceedingly popular during their resi-
dence here.
