ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE JEFFERSON

That the true secret of the actors art lies not in the makeup box, but ill the minds of the player and his audi ence, is the belief of Raymond Hatton, who is playing the role of Gringoire in The Hunchback of Notre Dame," the Universal production which is now play~ ing at the Jefferson theater
 When one dons costume for a part, he in q manner steps into a new life," says Hatton. "This action and reactions, the entire mental attitude becomes different. This aspect of the thing should be realized by the actor, and made the most of. He should strive to completely submerge his conscious self into this subconscious thing that strives for expression"
 Hatton's excellent performance of the effeminate poet ill the Hugo classic would seem to prove his contention as he is just the reverse type in real life. He is an enthusiastic horseman, golfer and swimmer.
 '"The Hunchback'' remains at the Jefferson for two more days only-Fri- day and Saturday.
 GUY BATES POST COMING
 At the Jefferson theater Monday, February 25, Guy Bates Post will open a three-day engagement in Edward J. Locke's unusual play, 'The Climax" Consummate artist as he is, it is doubt full if, in "The Heir to the Hoorah, ,' ''The Nigger," Paid in Full" '"The Virginian," "The Masquerader'' and "Omar the Tentmaker," or in his many fine leading parts with Mrs. Fiske, Mir. Post has ever demonstrated so ably and intelligently that ability to act which places him in line with Sir Henry IT, wing and Richard Mansfield. As Luigi Golfanti, music teacher and maestro of opera, training the voice of beauti- full girl and lovingly guarding her for great future in the walls of his New York studio, MT. Post holds his audi eAce in an absorption Of interest so tense and still that the hush may al- most be felt in the great dramatic mo- ments of ''The Climax "a play serious enough to make the minimizing think funny enough to amuse everyone, pure enough to make clergy and laity re joice, and good enough to live.

Commissioners Favor Stricter
Provisions in Bill on Traf-
fic Law Violations

The Mcleod bill to impound auto
mobiles for violation of District
traffic laws was given the full ap-
prevail Of the District Commissioners
today.
The Commissioners, after approx
ing the report, recommended changes
in the bill which would serve to
put more teeth" IN the measure
than had been inserted by Con.
gresham Mcleod of Michigan,
author of the bill.
Although declaring it to-~be the
belief of the Commissioners that
power to revoke permits, when con-
tinuation of the permit becomes a
menace to the public safety, would
fully solve the parking situation.
the COMMISSIONER report stated
that the provisi pms of the Mel cod
measure should prove highly bene-
ficial."
The bill as introduced by Con-
gresham Mcleod calls for the i'm
pounding Of any automobile for vio-
lation Of the traffic laws, the auto
mobile to be redeemed upon pay
ment of the fine imposed.
The commissioners suggested that
the bill be SO worded that a driver
whose car has been impounded
would be required to pay both the
impounding fee and any fine that
may have been imposed.

TEACHERS |RED
BY DISTRICT
RED TAPE
Those in Night Schools Forced
to Wait Week for Pay
at Month-End

District government red tape has
aroused the\ire Of teachers in the
night classes Of the public schools.
Instead Of receiving their pay
at the close Of the month, they
have been forced to wait sometimes
more than a week for their checks.
The reason for the delay, it was
explained at Franklin School head
quarters, Is that the night school
teachers are pep diem employees and
cannot be paid until after the end
Of the month.
Since they are paid by check. the
payroll must be certified by school
authorities and pass through the
District Building. The principal Of
the school in which a teacher is
employed must first certify the
teachers to be paid to the director
OF night schols at Franklin School.

He Should Not Be Com
PEELED to Testify

Gratz L. Dunkum, foreman of
the special grand jury investigating
alleged criminal actions by Albert
b Fall, former Secretary of the
Interior, and the other members of
the grand jury today certified to
Justice HitZ of the District Su-
preme Court the refusal of Edward
l.. Doheny. jr., of Los Angeles,
Cal, to testify Tuesday when sum-
moned to appear before the grand
jury, and asked that Mr.. Doheny
be required to show cause why he
should not be compelled to appear.
Justice Hitz issued a rule requiring
Mr.. Doheny 20 show cause Friday,
PEELED to testify.
Mr.. Doheny, according to Attor-
ney Frank j. Hogan, who repre-
sents him, is acting under his d.
rection. claiming a constitutional
right not to be obliged to bear wit
ress against himself.
Hogan told the court that
Doheny had explained to the grand
JURY IAdL AlSItHST HIS ldIHcES HOT
he, nor the company in which they
are interested, had been guilty of
any crime, yet statements made by
his father had been used as a
basis of proceedings against him.
Hogan said he would be prepared
to argue the matter, notw1thstand.
ing the fact that the report Of the
grand jury itself was evidence that
no rule should be issued.
Counsel for Government, consist
ing of District Attorny Gordon and
Special Attorneys Atlee Pomerene
and Owen Roberts, agreed that the
matter be heard Friday and the
court fixed the day.
The inquiry before the special
grand jury, according to the re.

it is aimed at former Secretary

U. S. Engineer Testifies That
D. c. Can Have Cheap "
Power at Hearing .

Abundant electric power can be
delivered in Washington at q cost
of 3.54 mills per killowatt hour;
according to figures presented by
Major j. A. O'Connor, Of the
engineer corps, U. S. A., at the
initial hearing held by a special
House subcommittee on the pro-
posal to build a hydro-electric
plant at Great Falls.
Major O'Connor's figures showed
that the cost of constructing the
plant would be considerably lower
than the original estimates pre-
pared by Major M. C. Tyler.
Gives Complete Survey.
Major O'Connor was on the stand
during the entire session today. He
made an exhaustive statement re-
garding the amount Of power avail
able. the market for this power and
the comparative costs between
water and other forms of electric
power production.
The entire Tyler plan calls for
power dams at Chain bridge and
Great Falls and the storage reser-
voirs at three points in the upper
Potomac. Major O'Connor declared
that these projects could be handled
separately and advocated that the
Chain bridge dam and power plant
be considered as the first project.
He declared that it would be pos
sible to obtain from the Chain bridge
project alone 416.000.000 kilowatt
hours per year. This supply, he
estimated, would take care Of the
needs of Washington until 1880.

The Chain Bridge project, accord
ing to the Tyler figures, would give

vestment, would furnish power TO

Early Adjournment Of Con-
gress Means Loss or Delay
to District Legislation

District Of Columbia legislation,
caught in the present legislative
jam in Congress, will be served a
good turn if the Administration
plan of adjournment early in June
is. forced to be abandoned.
The supporters of measures-
which are certain to fall by the
wayside if Congress adjourns
within the next four weeks-in-
GLIDING the Democratic radical
coalition, are making predictions
that they will be able to keep the
House and Senate in session dur
ing the summer months, or at
least until the legislative program
is completed.
Would Aid District.
In such a situation uncompleted
District legislation would come in
for share Of attention. The Sen.
ate would have time to enact the
Lehlbach Redistribution bill, passed
by the House yesterday, and also
the amendments to the civil service
retirement act reported from Civil
Service Committee and now upon
the calendar.
The Phipps bill, giving the Dis.
trict credit for it's accumulated sur
plus in the Federal Treasury, un,
doubtedly would be favorably acted
upon by Congress, should the pres
ent plan of attaching it as rider
to the District appropriation meas,
ure fail in the House. The Great
Falls power bill, already passed by
the Senate and now pending IN the
House, and traction legislation also
are possibilities of the situation.
Other Measures Pending.
Minor District legislation. most
Of it going by the board now be-
cause of Congressional sluggishness
and apathy, would have an excellent
chance Of getting through In an
extended session.
There are more than thirty meas
ures of this type which have been
hanging fire in the House and Sen.
ate District committees for from
six to eighteen months.

Newton L. CutshaW Tells
Court Efforts Made to
Embarrass Him

\ Charge that his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Virginia Smith, is continuing
20 force him to do something
which will cause his arrest and
break up his eighteen-day-old
marriage to her daughter, Mary
Elizabeth Cutshaw, is made today
by Newton L. Cutshaw, in a petit
ton filed in the District Supreme
Court asking that Mrs. Smith be
restrained not only from plotting
his disgrace but also from alleged
threats to do him bodily harm.
Serves Term in Jail
Recent marriage of the young
couple caused widespread interest,
tnasmuch as it was through the en-.
forced testimony of his wife four
years ago, when she was a girl Of
fourteen, that caused him to re-
celVe q ftve-year sentence in the
Atlanta penitentiary. Cutshaw was
arrested after a baby was born to
his then sweetheart.
In his petition today, filed through
Attorney Raymond Neudecker, Cut
shaw points out that should. he get
in the least trouble with the au-
thorities that his parole period of
one year and eight months will be
revoked and the marriages to the
young girl which he has looked
forward to in a prison cell for
nearly four years shattered.
Supporting Affidavit.
Cutshaw sets forth in the bill one
specific incident when, he alleges,
his mother-in-law lured him on May
3, last, to bring his wife to Ninth
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest
and that when he found she was
there in company with an escort
that he was prevented from leaving
by Mrs. Smith, who physically re.
strained him, and by her escort who
"shook his fist in his face" On
this occasion. the petition alleges,
Mrs. Smiths escort told Cutshaw:
IF this lady" (Mrs. Smith) gets
sick from this thing (meaning ap.
parently, petitioners marriage to
the daughter Of respondent you
and 1 are going to have it out and
one of us is going"
The youths petition is supported
by an affidavit made by his wife
bearing out her husbands conten-
ton that her mother appears de-
termined that they shall not live
together as man and wife, and that
she is anxious to see the boy do
something which will cause a re-
vocation of his parole.
1t is set forth in the petition that
the newly married couple are now
residing at No. 2 Eye street north
east.
