MUSICAL FESTIVAL
DRAWS WIDE PRAISE
Capital Should Be Center of
Best in Arts, Boston
Editor Says.

Evidence that the big music fes-
tival being planned for Washington
next Spring is already attracting at
tention in other large cities came
TO the attention of Commissioner
Rudolph today in the form of an
editorial from the Boston Transcript.
The editorial voices approval of the
action of the Commissioners in Off
cially launching the movement
which, 1t is hoped, will become an
annual event that will in time make
Washington the music center of the
United States.
THE movement initiated by Com
missioner Rudolph and his colleagues
is deserving of support, the Boston
Transcript writer said "It has been
the dream of many public-spirited
citizens of Washington to make the
National Capital center of many
professional and civic activities. but
this has not yet been realized, except
by the lobbyists. The will of George
Washington, it will be recalled, in
tended to provide for a National Uni
versity, and the late Sidney Lloyd
Frightson, a sterling musician. one
.ne head of the Washington College
of Music. tried to interest members
of Congress in taking advantage of
it's provisions to establish a National
Conservatory of Music.
Heinrich Hammer, another capable
musician-noteworth for conducting
with empty hands instead of the ba
ton-got together an excellent sym
phony orchestra, but these organiza-
tious are difficult to maintain with
out subsidy. Edouard Albion has
achieved distinct success with the
Washington Opera Company
After referring also to the impetus
that has been given musical culture
by Herbert Putnam, librarian of Con-
gress, the editorial continued:
Local Washington is ripe for such
a project as the District Commits
sioners have proposed, and we be-
lieve the country is pleased with
whatever adds to the dignity and at
tractiveness of what Is. after all, the
peoples city. We have said repeat
edly that Washington should stand as
a model, not only in civic develop
ment, but as the national exponent
of the best in all arts and sciences.
Here at hand is an opportunity to
make beginning with music
Commissioner Rudolph expressed
qualification at this comment from
the press of another city and pre-
dicted that the proposed music fes-
tival would find similar favor in other
large centers of the country.
The next move in preparation for
the festival, which is to be staged in
May of next year, is for Commissioner
Rudolph to name the committee of
zoo to arrange the event. The nam
ing of the committee probably will
not be taken up for several weeks.

WEEKS EXPECTED
TO QUIT OCTOBER |
Believed to Be Planning to
Fight Budget Reduction
Before He Retires.
By A STAFF Correspondent.

By a Staff Correspondent
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. August 81.
1t was rumored in official circles
here today that John w. Weeks, Sec
retary of War, who has been away
from his desk for more than four
months because of a serious illness,
but who is now on the road to recov-
cry, will formally tender his resigna-
ton to President Coolidge the latter
part of next month, to become ef-
fective October l.
Although ID has been understood
generally that Mr.. Weeks, because of
his health, wonld retire to private
life some time this Fall, no definite
time for his resignation has before
been mentioned with any amount of
authority. The Secretary is under
stood to have told the President when
the latter called at the Secretary's
retire, but first wanted to go back to
his desk in Washington to clean up
things.
Secretary Weeks will - return to
Washington before the fight between
the War Department and the Budget
Bureau, evidenced in the recent ac-
tivities of the general staff to pre-
vent reductions in appropriations in
the War Department, is made ef-
fective. The estimates must be pre-
sented to President Coolidge by Oc-
tober ]. In other words, If the off,
cials in the War Department submit
to radical reductions these will not
be made under the administration of
Secretary Weeks.
Secretary Weeks is of the opinion
that the War Department has scaled
down it's expenses to the lowest pos
sible extent. He has found that there
might be a slight saving in the ex-
penditures by elimination of duplica-
tions. But there cannot be any ap-
preciable economies effected, in his
opinion, without impairing the eff
cheney of the Army establishment.
The only way money can be saved,
Mr.. Weeks holds, is to cut down the
size of the Army. He is opposed to
such a step and would not recon-
mend 1t. On the other hand. LhA Sec
retary of War has no authority to
reduce the Army. This must be oNne
by an act of Congress. If PresidtNt
Coolidge wishes to make a saving IN
the War Department that would be-
felt in his economy program, it is de
clared, it must be done by dropping
many officers and 10000 to $4,000
men.

DEATH RATE IS CUT,
BIRTHS INCREASING
Fewer Fatalities From Griu
and Pneumonia Held
Cause by Fowler.

The death rate went down while the
birth rate increased in Washington
during the calendar year 1924, indi-
eating a general improvement in the
health conditions of the city Health
Oficer William C. Fowler told the
Commissioners in his annual report
this afternoon.
During the calendar year there were
1857 births. as. compared with 9,029
in 1928, an increase of more thon 800.
There were only 6,5S3 deaths last
year. decrease from record Of 7,105
in 1923.
These figures caused the birthrate
per 900 to increase from 19 per cent
to 1922 per cent and the death rate
to go down from 1923 per cent in 1928
to only 13.46 per cent last year.
DIR. Fowler attributes the lowering
of the death rate to the small number
of deaths last year from pneumonia
and grip.
Low Infant Mortality.
An outstanding feature of the re-
port is the announcement that Wash
ington has the lowest death rate in
its history among infants under l
year of age.
The rate for white infants was 81 i
per cent, for colored 1922 per cent
and the general rate 1871. DR.. Fowler
stated that this was a very gratifying &
showing, and expressed the hope i'm
provement would continue.
A chart accompanying the report
shows that organic heart disease was
the most potent cause of death in
Washington last year, with ISL. Pneu-
monia was close with TAI.
Turing 1914 147 poSaS nf llno~
were reported. DR.. Fowler also
pointed out that in January of this
year the District was invaded by a
malignant type of this disease. From
that month until June a total of SO
cases was reported with 20 deaths.
The vaccination history of the SO
cases, DIR. Fowler said, demonstrated
the value of vaccination. Only four
of the patients reported had ever been
successfully vaccinated, one about so
years prior to the attack, one 3S
years ago, one Is years ago and the
fourth IA years ago. All four of
these patients had a mild type and
| recovered. The other 55 cases had
not been successfully vaccinated
Urges Health Center.
DIR. Fowler again calls attention to
the urgent need for erection of a suit
able building in which the Health
Department could care for and treat
minor contagious diseases, which now
are handled under contract by two
of the local hospitals.
DIR. Fowler told the Commissioners
that the action of Congress last Win
| ter in passing the new milk law has
given to the people of the District one
of the best pieces of legislation in the
country for the control of public milk
| supply.
The health officer urges that a much
larger force of medical and dental ex
| aminers be appointed in order that
all children entering the public schools
at least may be examined upon en-.
trance and properly followed up for
| the correction of such physical defects
as may be found. DIR. Fowler states
| that from experience of his depart.
| ment 1t is evident that a large per.
centage of the pupils entering the
public schools in the kindergarten and
first grade are handicapped by physi
cal defects.

in a collision between a street car and
the hose wagon on which he was
riding.
The inquest was begun Friday and
was adjourned until today on motion
OF the Capital Traction Co. attorneys,
who said they wanted to obtain more
witnesses. Testimony today was
heard from persons on the street car
at the time of the accident and a
statement also was made to the jury
by o'Neil.
O'Neil, who has been a motornna n
for the Traction Co. for 33 years.
said he left the Decatur street barn
for Union Station at 12:49 o'clock and
in the vicinity of Park road heard a
kind of sound, but it didn't sound
like a whistle" II didn't hear any
thing until the machine flew out in
front" said O'Neil II saw it zig
gag and saw two fellows fall off" The
front of the street car was midway
in the street, he said, when the fire
apparatus struck the car. Il never
saw it until 1t was on me and
didn't hear anything. 1 had no cur
rent on and threw the car into re.

Passengers Testify.
Dr. William E. Stutzman, 1900 De-
catur street, a passenger on the street
car, testified he heard the fire ap-
paratus, but seven other passengers

gave testimony which indicated that
although the siren and bells of the
fire apparatus were sounded regu-
larly, O'Neil evidently failed to hear
the warning in time to avoid crash
Among those who testified Friday
was John E. Lyons of 2003 II street

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, August 81.
Remarkable flying judgment and
cool-headedness saved the life of Col.
William F. Mitchell chief of the sth
Corps air forces, when an airplane
which he was plotting crashed here
this morning He was unscathed, but
his plane was a wreck.
The accident occurred while Col
Mitchell was taking off from the old
remount station and in full view of
the entire staff of the Sth Corps Area
present to inspect the field for avia-
tion possibilities.
The plane poised for an instant as
the motor cut out at about 100
feet up.
Beneath the machine was maze of
trees, bitches and fences.
Forced to Act Quickly.
Col. Mitchell gently set the machine
down in the best cleared space he could
locate quickly.
The undercarriage struck a ditch
and it's nose ploughed into the ground,
momentum carrying it over IN a for
ward somersault, where it landed on
it's back.
Col. Mitchell tripped his belt,
crawled from beneath the wreckage
and grinned as he waved to the ON.
cial group as a signal that he had not
been injured.
Then he motored to Fort Sam Hous-
ton and ploughed into a huge pile of
correspondence on his desk.
That's something we have to face
every day." declared Col. Mitchell.
II had made two or three landings
at the new flying field and was taking

Accompanied by Civilian.
Col. Mitchell was accompanied by
Harry Short, civilian airplane expert.
I'VE had reached an altitude of about
so feet and were near the edge of the

| did not have sufficient altitude or
speed to enable me to turn back to-
ward the field.
