POLISH ORCHESTRA
IN COLORFUL DEBUT
Peasant Players First Ap-
pearance PIeases Audience
at Polls Theater.

With gay peacock feathers in their
jaunty red caps and tapping time
with their tall black boots as they
played Slavic rhythms, a unique or
ganization, the Polish Peasant Sym
phony Orchestra, made it's debut In
Washington under the leadership OF
Stanislaw Namyslowski, at Polfs
Theater yesterday afternoon.
In their long white coats lined with
scarlet that cut vivid slashes into the
ensemble, these forty-odd men were
a picturesque sight. When consider
ing the fact that it was not half a
century ago that they were organized
into an orchestra by the father or
their present leader, the achievements
of the present group seem remark :
able. Their efforts should not, OF
course, be compared with the leading
American symphony orchestras that
Washington music lovers are accus-
toned to hear. The orchestra mem
bers made up in vim of execution
and clean-cut attacks what they lack
ed in uncertainty of tempo. small vol
ume, and sometimes in accuracy of
notes.
Open With U. 8. Anthem.
The opeing numbers were "The Star
Spangled Banner" played with novel
Polish embroiderings, and the Polish
national air. This was followed by
Glazounov's arrangement of Chopin's
dashing 'Polonaise in A Major" All
compositions were Polish.
For some reason Paderewski, the
most famous of living Polish musi-
clans, was not represented. There
were undoubtedly many of the num-
bers that had strong appeal and in
terest for the Polish natives who
seemed TO form a large part of the
audience.
To others there was some monotony
in the program. Features were the
overture to Moniuszko's Fairy Tale"
and a musical tableaux group en-
titled THE Wedding" by Powiadom-
ski both full of dominant character
istics of the Slavic music and given
with plaintiveness in the mood under
lying even the gayest notes.
Noskowskis arrangement of Echoes
and Souvenirs of Polish National
Songs" Zelenskrs overture, I'm the
Tartar Mountains and LAS You Like
It." by Namyslowski, were other un-
usual numbers. The four Polish
dances, three mazurkas by the or
chestra leader, in which he led his
men with his own violin, and an
oberek from Lewandowski's ballet,
Pan Twardowski," were among the
brightest, most enjoyable numbers.

SADNESS OF BRYAN
TRIBUTE MARKED
Emphasized as Doors, Closed
in Life, Are Opened
to Commoner.
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

There has been something mex
pressibly sad about the funeral rites
for William Jennings Bryan. Other
great men by the score have been
buried here at the Capital City during
the passing years, but about nearly
all of them it could be said they had
attained their life's ambition. Perhaps
none of them had a greater hold upon
the people-certainly none appealed
more to the imagination of the
masses-but in Mr.. Bryan's case
there is the feeling that he came here
at last to rest within the shadow of
the great dome of the Capitol, the
classic portico of the White House,
sadly disappointed that he had not
been able to strut his hour across the
national stage.
There was the sadness of the ar
rival of the funeral train when the
Presidents room and the Presidents s
own gateway at the Union Station
We're opened for the Commoner. In
life they had been closed to him COM
pletely. There has since been the
tribute of the plain people, filing by
the flag g-draped casket in the historic
old New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church, which seems a veritable
shrine of fundamentalism. The "old
cOVenanter mas seemed Serenely at
home there. And then the dripping
clouds of the funeral morning. They
seemed to make the picture complete.
Death Was Happy.
The sadness felt for Mr. Bryan in
his last earthly moments has been
a material one. however, which un-
questionably would have been repug-
nant to him. There is every reason
to believe that if ever a man died
happy-died ready to meet his
Maker"-Mr. Bryan was that man.
1t was the privilege of those of US
who saw his activities at Dayton to
see a man in most deadly earnest.
And yet even there Mr.. Bryan was
a disappointed man. He was irked
and excited that he could not close
the mouth of every person who dared
10 believe there could be any other
Interpretation of the Bible than the
fundamentalist one. Mr.. Bryan truly
felt he was fighting for his God. He
felt the hosts of blackness and of
evil were assailing Gods holy word

PARIS is SURPRISED.
Sees Maximum Debt Terms Rejected
by London.

by London.
PARIS, July 81 CP.-The announce
ment in London that the French COM
mission which has been engaged in
preliminary negotiations with British
treasury experts regarding Frances
war debt to Great Britain would re-
turn to Paris today caused consider
able surprise in official quarters here.
The foreign office is at loss for an
explanation beyond the supposition
that some wide divergence of opinion
has developed, making the French
delegates feel the need of personal
talks with Finance Minister Caillaux
and Foreign Minister BRAND to see
whether fresh instruction can be given
them.
The French delegates went to Lon
don with a schedule strictly limiting
them in regard to minimum and
maximum terms for a settlement, and
it is supposed that the maximum
terms offered on behalf of France
proved below British expectations.
The return of the French delegates
was referred to at this mornings meet
ing of the cabinet by Finance Minister
CaillauX, who, according to the official
communique issued afterward, said
that the French and English view
Nevertheless the first step toward
bringing them together had been taken
and the French delegates were re-
turning to Paris to inform him of

CASH REGISTER co.

Remington Concern Obtains In

By the Associated Press.

HARTFORD, Conn, July 31.-An

Co. of Dayton, Ohio, restraining the
infringement of patents for improve
mentS in adding and recording ma
chine and requiring payment by the
National Cash Register Co. to the

lions dollars damages, was filed by
Judge Edwin S. Thomas of the United
States District Court here today.
The amount of damages is yariously
estimated from 81 ,000,000 to $4,000, 900.
The specific charges in the bill in
equity filed by the Remington Cash
Register Co. were against machines
manufactured by the National Cash
Register Co. and sold in Connecticut.
known as class 1900 and class 1000 of
the National products.
Judge Thomas found all of the
claims filed to be valid. The infringe
ment found by the judge was in the
use of certain devices for plurality
of totalizers in adding machines, de-
vices for clearing sub totals and grand
totals, and methods of printing and
recording such totals.
But in an exhaustive analysis of
the mechanisms of the various ma
chimes involved Judge Thomas con-
cludes that the Remington machines
embody new and previously impatient
ed devices and that the National ma
chimes, though perhaps different in
form, substantially have adopted
those devices, in violation of plain
tiff's patent rights.
The case was tried before Judge
Thomas in New Haven in 1924, dur
ing which there were Is days of testi-
mony with two days of argument on
February and 10, 1925. The opin-
ion comprises 122 pages. Its prepara-

Britain Sees Hope in Negotiations
Despite Rupture at
Opening.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. July 31.-Wide diverg-
ence of views between British and
French government financial experts
regarding settlement of Frances war
debt to Great Britain has resulted in
at least a temporary breakdown in
the preliminary negotiations, which
began here last week.
The French commission will return
to Paris today.
Reports current last night that the
conferences at the treasury had been
interrupted were confirmed today.
While complete reserve is maintained
in official circles 1t is understood that
the French experts will report to the
Quai d'Orsay that they found it i'm
possible to reconcile the French and
British viewpoints on the debt ques-
ton.
In view of the outcome of the nego-
tiationS il was regarded as unlikely
that Finance Minister Caillaux would
follow out his original intention of
coming to London for further discus
sions next week.
British Optimistic.
British official quarters are not
pessimistic regarding the debt nego-
tiationS and confidence is expressed
that after the French government has
considered the report of its delegates
the commission will be sent back to
London for further conferences.
At the treasury this morning, 1t
was explained that the situation had
by no means reached a deadlock. the
difficulties having been encountered
merely upon technical points. The
important problems of the settlement
have not yet been considered, 1t is
stated.
Although it is not likely that FL
nance Minister CaillauX will come to
London Immediately, 1t is believed
here that the negotiations will be re-
sumed in a week or SO.
