LEE NUSBAUM MADE
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

Announcement has been made that
Lee B. Nusbaum has been appointed
assistant director of the May festival
chorus which. with the Symphony or
chestra, will render Haydn's oratoria,
"Creation." The director. J. E. Maddy,
and the chorus committee decided that
an assistant director should be ap-
pointed who could carry on the work
in case Mr. Maddy through sickness
or accident, was to be prevented from
proc eding with the rehearsalS at any
time. Mr.. Nusbaum, as president of
the Richmond symphony orchestra or
ganization, is in close touch with the
work, and this fact, coupled with his
we'll known ability in musical lines, is
understood to make his appointment
very pleasing to the management.
A 1ong-felt need of the orchestra
has been fulfilled with the addition to
its personnel of a harpist. Mrs. Ora
Miller Mrs. Miller is said to be a
harpist of much ability, and will en-
joy the distinction of being the only
one in the orchestra. She partici-
pated in her first rehearsal with the
orchestra Tuesday evening.
Numbers which are to be rendered
by the orchestra at It's next concert,
March IA, promise to form an aggrega-
ton which proba bly, will. from the pub
lie point of view be the most popular
of the seasons offerings. One of the
most alluring will be the Dance
Macabre," in which the devil and his
minions join in barbaric and evil rev
elry-a dance of death mingled with
shrieks and the rafting of bones. and

MEXICAN RAIL HEAD
LEASES EQUIPMENT
FROM j, s, ROADS
tRv Associated Press

MEXICO CITY. Feb. g. - Railroad
equipment valued at 100000 pesos
has been leased by the Mexican gov
eminent from various American lines,
Francis Perez, national director of rail
ways, announced yesterday upon his
return from the United States. Thir-
ty-fve engines and 200 tank cars form
a part of the rolling stock soon to be
sent to Mexico. he declared. having
been leased by the government in an
effort to clear up congestion of freight
in this country.
Senior Perez denied newspaper re-
ports that he had been called before
Mexican judicial authorities to ans
wer charges that there is a shortage of
!, 900, 900 pesos in his department. He
asserted that reports that he and his
three associates were short in their
accounts were "manufa ctured by enc
mics and that while in the United
States he had received kilograms from
President Obregon and other govern
ment officials assuring him of their
confidence.
Officials May Change.
Another angle of the Mexican rail
way situation. however, involves the
probable resignation of Pascual Ortiz
ltuulO, StCItldIs u! anu
public works. 1t Is asserted that Sen
or Rubio rendered his resignation last
Saturday, following announcement of
the presidents decision that the trea9-
ury department should take over the
financial administration of the Ma
tional railroads, allowing the COM
munications department mere supervi
sion of the actual operation of the
lines. Nothing relative to this pur-
ported resignation, however, has as
yet been made public.
Senior Rubio is declared to hold the
presidents action as reflection upon
him and he is reported to have ex-
pressed a desire to retire Immediately
from the government. He was not
present Monday when the president
opened the extraordinary session of
congress, nor did he attend a function
given yesterday by the Argentine lega-
ton, at which General Obregon and all
other high officials of the government
were present. 1t is known his attitude
was discussed at the cabinet meeting
yesteday afternoon at which he was
present but no announcement was
made. The national budget and the
proposed banking law were among the
subjects considered.

PEOPLE BACK HOME
URGE LEGISLATORS
ACTION BY LETTERS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. 9.-The
state legislators, according to some
members of the senate. have ceased
to represent the people in their own
way. At last, they say. such is the
belief on the part of some of the con-
stituents.
The senate and house postoffices,
which handle the incoming mail of
the members, are the busiest places in
the state house, and keep several en-
ployes hard at work during the en-
tire session.
Letters from back home" telling
members how to vote are said to
be getting more numerous daily. The
average daily number of letters of
this sort to each legislator is put
at twenty by conservative members.
Often the number goes beyond that.
In one day last week, a senator, chair
man of a committee before which
measure was pending, received more
than 90 kilograms containing instruc-
tions regarding his stand on the mat
ter. Others say they have had like
experiences.
Suggests Vote.
In the majority of cases the voter
writes to suggest that his senator vote
for or against a measure. However,
in most cases, the order is direct, as
in the case of a letter received few
DAYS ago by a Lake county senator,
saying:
81 am requesting you to use your
influence against the constabulary
law, the industrial court and the gar
nishee bill. |, as one of the people
who have entrusted the affairs of my
o1of-, fi1r0
of the people you are to express the
voice of the people, and not reserve
the right to express your own views,
as you are only a servant of the peo-
pie and it is not personal matter
on your part, and you will fill the
desires of the people, or stamp your
self man devoid of principle and
honor, and only make yourself a fit
subject for the state pen for violating
your oath of office. Only one thing
can keep you from working against
these bills, and that would be
bribery"
Have "ReeuIars."
Some senators have "regulars" on
their list of letter writing friends.
Senator Rats, floor leader, says he
has one constituent who writes him
daily as to how he shall vote upon
each measure. Other letter writers
seem to fear that something will be
slipped over" on their representa-
tives and take the trouble to send
them vast amounts of data on sub
jects in which they are especially in
terested. suggesting at the time that
the matter be used in a speech by the
member.
There are also letter writer's who
seek to control by a mass of num-
bers Senator Moorehead received
one such letter few days ago, in
which he was informed of the stand
taken by 5000 voters on the constab-
ulary bill. The writer, however, did
not mention the method used in get
ting the opinion of his 5000 friends.

Commerce called for all members for
Thursday will begin at s p. M. in the
assembly hall of the K of P. building
This was announced previously as be-
ginning at 1880 p. m. The conflict
with prayer meetings of the city was

ment of the meeting a half hour.

the suggestion that all these meetings

der to allow people to attend both

Citizens Are Interested
in Institute Speeches

Prof Holden took a census Tuesday
evening 'at the Coliseum meeting
calling for a showing of hands of the
country and city residents, demon
strating that the Richmond citizens
were just as interested in the sub
ject of the last lecture of the twoday
farmers institute as were the farm
ers themselves, since they equalled
the farmers in numbers.
Holden spoke on community work,
its importance and the things it had
accomplished, in some cities. and in
view of the initiation of such work in
Richmond there was a liberal attend
ance of those who are promoting this
movement.

TIMELY INTERVENTION
BY TROOPS PREVENTS
DISASTER IN PARADE
(By Associated PresS)

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 9.-Timely in
tervention by government troops prob
ably prevented serious disorders in
this city last night during parade of
5000 Catholic youths. The parade was
held as protest against the attempt
against the life of Monsignor Mora,
Archbishop of Mexico, on Sunday
night when a bomb was exploded at
the door Of the archepiscopal resi-
dence
After marching for several hours the
paraders turned toward the home of
the Arch bishop but before the prelate
appeared to review the marcherS a
great crowd of spectators became very
abusive. The situation became so
threatening that soldiers were ordered
to drive the crowds from the streets.
They fixed bayonets, and at their ap-
proach the crowd melted away. Later
the marchers halted for moment be-
fore the cathedral and DOTTED their
hats, but abusive terms and cat-calls
reverence. The paraders resented this
sonal combats.
Weird Spectacle.
The procession in which the young
men walked 10 abreast with locked
arms, presented weird spectacle as
it wormed its way through the dense
ly packed and dimly illuminated
streets. When the parade entered the
narrow Avenida Francisco MaXero,
which leads to the National palace, de-
tachments of firemen were rushed to
the scene TO clear the way and to
eliminate as far as possible any dan
ger of disorder. The banners carried
by the young men proclaimed the al
legiance of various Catholic societies
to the Archbishop and the church, and
deprecated the "atrocious acts of dyn-
amiters."

az. S. WANTS WAR BASE"
LONDON. Feb. 9.-The Russian SOW
let authorities were told by an Amer
lean millionaire that the United States
wanted Kamchatka as an Asiatic base
in case of a war between the United
States and Japan, according to an
utterance made recently in a speech
by Nikolai Lenine. the Bolsheviki pre-
mier, concerning concessions. as quot
ed in the Russian Press Review. pub
lished in Moscow, a copy of which has
been received here.
Asserting that the proposed treaty
conceding Kamchatka is part of a
scheme to utilize the bourgeois capital
to accelerate the count-y's industrial
development, Lenine is quoted as haV-
ing said:
Alleges Promise.
AN American multimillionaire who
has been here spoke very frankly
about the motives of the treaty name
ly. that American desires to have
base in Asia in case of war with
Japan. This millionaire said that if
we should sell Kamchatka to America
he would promise Us such enthusiasm
on the part of the population of the
United States that the American gov
eminent will Immediately recognize
the soviet government in Russia
But if, on the other hand, we only
lease it. the enthusiasm would be less.
He is on his way 10 America to report
that the soviet government is not half
so black as it has been painted"
Lenine declared that the granting of
concessions did not mean peace, but
an industrial war. He said it was
likely that the concessionaires would
try to establish free private trade. but
that they could not conclude a treaty
with the sovietS. The cOnceSsionaires
would be obliged to submit to soviet
laws and also to the soviet workers
and learn from them. In the event of
war all property would revert to the
soviet under the rules OF war

Opinion Regarding It's

MADRID, Jan. 2e.-Belief that the re-

to last only until after the visit of King
Albert of Belgium in this city was ex-
pressed in political circles here follow
ing the swearing in OF the new Minis
try. Opponents of the Cabinet, belong

it was the general opinion that the Par

carious and likely to terminate as soon
as. any debate of importance occurred.
Among even the most optimistic there
was not one who could give a definite
opinion as to which party or combina-

Ministry in the event of its falling from
power. The impression prevailed, how
ever, that the inevitable crisis would
