LAWYERS WIN SUIT FOR
FEE IN PROPERTY CASE

Justice Robb of the court of ap-
peals, in reversing the lower court,
has directed that Thomas w. Mil
Ter, alien property custodian, to
recognize a claim amounting to ST.
500 Of Nash lockwood and Charles
T. Lark, New York lawyers, for
services rendered as counsel to the
Gebrueder Stollwerk Aktiengesell-
Schaft.
In reversing the District Supreme
Court, Justice Robb pointed out that
the plaintiffs are American citizens
who performed valuable services for
which they had not been compensat-
ed. Had there been a specified
amount there would be no question
of their right to recover, said the
court, and to deny them such right
because it will be necessary to de-
termine the value of their services
would be to place form before sub
stance which a court of equity
should not do.

ALMAS SINGERS
DELIGHT IN
DESERT
Glee Club and Orchestra Rem
der Symphonic Ode in
Masterful Style.
BY WILLIAM MOORE.

Almas Glee Club, the Rubinstetn
Club, the Almas Orchestra and
delegations Of chanters from out
of-town temples were heard in q
concert last night in the auditorium
of Central High School. A large
gathering of Shriners and their
families applauded the musicians.
The principal feature of the con-
cert was the rendition of a SYM
phonic ode, 1.-THE Desert com
posed by Felicien David and sung
by the Almas Glee Club, assisted
by the orchestra.
1t takes real musicians to sing
the symphonic ode. Its difficulty
was apparent from the moment the
strings began the introduction until
the final Allah" was sung. =
The motif Of the desert, ominous
and unreIenting, was majestic in
its conception and Interpretation.
The storm in the desert, with the
whirling sand sweeping down upon
the helpless caravan, and the
shrieks Of the dragomans, implor-
ing the protection of Allah the
Merciful, was vivid.
Director Charles r. Bartlett
guided his chorus with q GOODNESS
and aplomb that marked his genius.
He has good material in his glee
club and he knows how to bring
out every bit of harmony in his
organization.
DR.. Henry w. Jaeger sang the
tenor solos in the symphonic ode.
While his voice seemed restrained,
it possessed a sweetness and lyric
quality that was pleasant to hear.
His rendition of the difficult MueZ-
Yin Call to Prayer was especially
we'll done.
The Almas Orchestra, under the
capable direction of Arsenic Ralon,
played two overtures and accom-
panied the singers with intelligence
and ability.
The ode was interspersed with
readings by Charles Hanford.
The Rubinstein Club, under the
direction of Claude Robson, gave
Good Night" Czecho Slovak
folksong; 1.-The Lost Chord" by Sir
Arthur Seymour Sullivan, and
Mamma Zucca's big Brown Bear"
The combined Rubinstein and
Almas clubs sang weeping Will

American Proposals.
By WILLIAM STONE,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

GENEVA, June S. America

the League of Nations opium
commission unanimously adopted
the American resolution limiting
opium production to medical needs
only, after sessions of several
days had brought about many
heated discussions over the plan
with opium producing countries.
Porter Demands Showdown.
There was a heated session at the
hearings last night after the Ameri-
can delegation, led by Stephen G..
Porter, had re-entered the session to
inform the nations America would
not consider any amendments to it's
proposal.
Porter demanded the nations go on
record to show which of them sup
ported reservation number l, which
provides 1.-The use of raw opium ac-
cOrding to the established usage in
India IS legitimate under The Hague
convention
Several Want to Leave.
India, Portugal, Germany and
Great Britain joined in stating they
had made such reservations and
would fight to uphold them.
That was the situation this morn
ing, with neither group willing to
make any concessions.
A further complication was pre-
scented with the announcement of
the Indian delegation. as well as
several others, that they would leave
tomorrow, regardless of whether a
decision could be reached by that
time.

CUNO'S NOTE TO LEAVE
INDEMNITY TO EXPERTS

BERLIN, June 5.-Germany's
new reparations note will not name
any definite figure, leaving that
decision to the international ex-
perts, according to today's plans of
the cabinet.
Industrialists are willing to sup
port the government If it will give
guarantees for $4,000, 900 10000 gold
marks, but the Socialists demand
that the note shall not offer more
than 10000, zoo, 900.
The industrialists suggest &c.
600 900 900 as an elastic figure, al
lowing the international experts to
determine if Germany is able to
pay that much.
