Plans, Curt Urged

Justice Wendell p. Stafford, of the
District Supreme Court, whose de-
cree OF January last directed the
big packers to take immediate
steps for the disposal of their In
terests in public stock yard market
companies, stock yard railroads and
stock yard newspapers, was asked
Yesterday to disspprove Of the plans
of the packers. which were submit
ed in accordance with the decree.
The petition, which was filed by
United States Attorney for the Dis
trict John E. Laskey and Isadore
Kresel and Joseph Sapinsky, the
latter special assistants to Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer. sets
forth the alleged facts that these
plans-with the exception Of those
submitted by the Cudahy Packing
Company-do not meet the require
ments of the court as contained in
the January decree which required
an early and complete divestment Of
these properties.
It is also claimed that the plans
do not provide for a complete con-
troll Of such interests b" the courts
during the time contemplated by the
plan for the carrying out thereof.

OPERA HOUSE IN DC.
URGED AT CITY CLUB

Establishment of a great opera
house in. the National Capital, a
structure that would be the show
place of the city, was urged by
Edouard Albion, president of the
National Opera Association and di-
rector of the Washington Opera
Company, in an address at the week
ly forum luncheon of the City Club
yesterday afternoon at the club
house, Farragut Square.
Washington is an ideal city to
attract the cultural influences OF
America." said Albion. TT is the
ideal place to foster creative mu-
steal effort and to stimulate In
terest in grand opera.
TT would be a good business ven
ture to establish an opera house in
Washington. 1t would advertise the
city and would bring big returns
The Washington Opera Company Is
preparing the way for the opera
house of which we dream. America
is about $50 years behind Europe
in opera development. Our great
curse is our craving for great mu'
sical artists who can make a big
fash. Our great curse is our un'
willingness to wait for the gradual
development of artists through long
training.
I'VE will never develop a great
American opera until resident opers
companies are formed and the peo'
pie are given a chance to build VI
their own music as an expression OF
their own ideals"

OF ASSAULT HERE
Sixteen Persons Fingers Rest
When Unique Trial
Ends.

The fingers of sixteen persons,
which have flown fast and furious
for the past two days in presenting
evidence in the sign language to
Judge Mcmahon in Police Court.
came to a halt yesterday when the
jury in the case of Raymond Allen.
charged with an assault on John
Caslow, brought in a verdict of
guilty.
The case proved to be one of the
oldest yet tried in the Police Courts.
Eleven Of the witnesses were eaf
mutes as were the complainant and
the defendant. Assistant District
Attorney Ralph Given, an expert in
the sign language, was opposed by
his brother, Attorney Harvey Given,
also an expert, as counsel for Allen
with Attorney Michael Mangan.
Or. Percival Hall. president Of the
Columbia Institute, at Kendall
Green, acted as interpreter and
through him Judge Mcmahon and
''-, jury learned what was going
en-.
rom the evidence introduced via
the finger route. it appeared that
Allen was asked by Fred Hall and
his wife, Mrs. Elsie Hall, who room
ed at CasIow's home at 1885 E street
southeast on June last, to notify
CaslOw that they were going to
move and that they wanted him to
help them move. For some reason
or other the tenants did not care
to go to Caslow themselves and tell
him of their intentions.
Allen claimed self-defense and
declared that Caslow struck him
first. Caslow lost his eye in the
fight. Allen was notified to appear
for sentence on February "a.
