When Cathedral Choristers
ApDear

Archbishop Michael J. CurIey Of the
archdiocese OF Baltimore, in letter
to Robert Lawrence, director Of WASH
ington's second Music week, from May

dral of Indianapolis. who will come

A letter from Director Steffen to Mr..
Lawrence stated that the organization
understood thoroughly the nature of
his work and plans in behalf of the
naturalization Of music and that the
organization would be glad to start
at once to prepare programs in ac-
cordance with any suggestions he
might offer.

ACCUSED OF GEM Theft.
Alex West Admits Taking Jewelry
at Luquer Home.

Investigating the theft Of diamond
jewelry valued at $4,000 from the res
idence of Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Luz
quer, 1443 Rhode Island avenue. the
last few weeks. Detectives Kelly.
Jones and Jackson yesterday arrested
Alexander West, colored, twenty-four
years old. 1857 S street. employed as
butler in the Luquer home, and
charged him with grand larceny.
1t was after an all-day grilling, the
detective stated. that West admitted
taking two articles of jewelry, a dia-
mond brooch and a diamond cross
valued at $4,000. but denied taking a
pin and bracelet that were reported
stolen. Last night Mrs. Luquer dis
covered that lace valued at $1,000 had
been stolen. while Lynch Luquer. a
son. missed a suit of clothes.
West, a former Pullman porter, told
Of having sold the $4,000 cross for
$50. while the brooch, he said. was
sold for $3.50. The detectives traced
the brooch through five hands and
recovered nine of the diamonds that
had been taken from it.
Two other colored men are held by
the detectives in connection with the
investigation of the robbery. No
charge has been preferred against
them.

impossible to reach an agreement and
asking that the rules disputes again
be taken up.
Forty-seven railroads were involved
in the western group. thirty-eight in
the east, and twenty-five in the south
east.
Charges Of favoritism on the part
of the roads toward the big four
have been made several times during
the present wage hearings. Leaders
of the smaller labor groups have
declared that the railroads wished to
reduce their labor bill at the expense
Of the lower classes of workers, while
retaining present rates of pay for
the train service men.
The brotherhoods have no national
agreement, but work under separate
agreements with the individual rail-
roads. Most of the roads are now
seeking relief from the railroad ad-
ministration's application Of the time
and half rule and from the
rule requiring additional pay for de-
lay at terminals. Various other minor
rules. applicable to the individual
roads. are also under dispute.
