Cong. Crowthers Condemns

Congressman Frank Crowthers of
New York sent a few cannonballs

in addressing members of the Wash

took a crack at jazz music in this
jazz-ridden age and generation" and
earnestly pleaded for a return to the
substantial virtues of common
sense and usefulness.

BERLIN, March lotto Wied-
feldt, chairman Of the directors OF
the great Krupp works at Essen.
today entered the field as a candi-
date for the post of German am
bassador to the United States. Herr
Wiedfeldt Is member OF the
younger generation and Is con-
structive business man.
Friends of the diplomatic aspirant
say he has progressive ideas and
that he Is not bound by any en-
tangling political affiliations. He
enjoys the fullest confidence OF
German business rnen, especially the
big industrialists who believe he Is
better fitted for the Washington
post than any of the old-line diplo-
mats. Herr Wiedfeldt. they say,
would introduce business methods
in diplomacy which would make
hit with the American people.
1t Is felt here that the old.time
diplomats have been discredited
along with their secret methods.
Herr Wiedfeldt. by his executive
ability and commercial skill, has
converted Krupps from the biggest
armaments plant in the world into
strictly peace industry, turning
out locomotives, motor parts, and
agricultural implements. He enjoys
the distinction of being a success
full mediator. He is given personal
credit for averting the downfall of
Chancellor Wirth.
On account of the depreciation of
the German mark II is necessary
that the next German ambassador
at Washington be a multi.million-
aire. Herr Wiedfeldt has a gigantic
fortune. Herr Hermes and other as.
pirants, who are not rich, are
virtually out of the race now.

into a romance. The engagement
was announced on November 81.
1920. They were to be married the
next spring In Havana, where the
basso had taken over the manage
ment of an amusement enterprise.
1t was in May that De Segurola
gave evidence Of his romantic devo-
ton In frequent long-distance tele-
phone calls from Havana to his
fiancee in this city, and gifts Of
Tiffany diamond sunbursts by cable.
Nevertheless" Miss Fitziu went
on, American girls should not
marry foreigners. 1t Is true there
have been many such unions, but
the cases of resulting happiness,
such as the Caruso marriage, are
the exception. AS was saying, Mr..

NEW YORK, March 1O.-Anna
Fitxiu, the prima donna, smilingly
confessed today that her engage
ment to Andreas de Segurola, for.
mer distinguished Metropolitan

In recounting the circumstances,
however, Miss Fitziu revealed her
self an iconoclast of the first

'Tho artistic woman no longer

Engagement Declared OFF.
The understanding that the en-
gagement was to be called off was
reached, according to Miss Fitziu,
on the night before her appearance
in concert at the Biltmore on jan
uary 6.

and arduous tour Of the West" ex-

cided to separate on the broadcast pos
sible grounds. After my concert the
next day I left for California, but he
didn't take me to the train. That's
all there Is to It,"
But this was merely an artistic
finish, for there turned out to be
really a whole lot more.
AS everybody knows, Mr.. de Sc
gurola and myself were engaged on
November 81, 1920. Mr.. de Segurola
had an interest in the Casino at Ha.
vana that took him away for long
periods Of time. I went off on long
concert tours and 30 we were separ-

long separations. They undoubtedly

Temporarily Enjoined on Petit
ton Of Property owners.

a temporary injunction against the
District Commissioners was issued
today by Justice Bailey. Of the Dis.
trict Supreme Court. to prevent them
from proceeding with their plan to
erect q school for tubercular children
at Fourteenth and Upshur streets
northwest.
Bond Of 81 900 was required of the
plaintiff property owners in the
ncighborhood who brought the pro.
ceedings. and who objected to the To-
cation Of the school and hospital.
Attorneys Darr. Whiteford &
Darr. representing the plaintiffs.
claimed that the Commissioner had
no authority of law for erecting the
buildings in question, and they
pointed that Congress had specifi-
cally named the portion OF the site
for a tubercular hospital and ju.
nior high school. but had mare no
designation OF any portion Of the
tract when providing for the tuber.
cular school. They also claimed
that the placing Of the school in
their neighborhood would seriously
injure their property.
The District Commissioners, rep.
resented by Corporation Counsel
Stephens. denied that they were
proceeding without warrant Of law,
and also denied that the location Of
the school would result injuriously
to the property Of the plaintiffs.

The Washington times., 1922-03-10

The chamber was suddenly hushed.
The curtain had risen for the last
act.
The big moment had come-silent-
ly, quietly, as in all crises.
Never will any one who was In
that court room yesterday forget
the melancholy timbre of Mad.
alynne's voice as she approached iu
her story the fatal hour of the
murder.
Her words came slower and
slower. There We're long pauses
when every man and woman there
In the courtroom held his breath.
Now and again long, piteous
sobbing sigh escaped her trembling
lips.
Her head sank lower and lower.
Seemingly oblivious Of the Judge.
the spectators, even her attorneys.
Madalynne turned squarely to the
jury and told pleadlngly Of the shots
in the night.
II was shaking so that could
hardly walk" A long pause.
Then ! took hold OF his shoulder
his hand-was cold"
Then It was that Judge Rush
softly asked her: "And did you hon.
estly and sincerely love Bolton Ken.
nedy at the moment that he was
killed?"
Admits She Loved HIM.
With a proud lift to her head, with
an electric flash in her eye that
thrilled even the most faded spec.
tator to the quick, came those never.
to-be.forgotten words:
Yes. did love him"
Then she broke. And silently,
without a murmur, the tears
coursed down her flushed fao,.
SO the woman last night In the
twilight stood alone while the ruddy
bailIff fumbled with the clanking
keys to unlock the iron doorway
onto the Bridge Of Sighs.
Before her was the impenetrable
grayness OF her prison cell. And
or the hangman's
moose?
I'm tired" was all she said.
