'Kaffir Noise Is What
HindoO Actor Calls
Jazz"

LONDON, Aug. 14.-Jazz has
come under new attack, this
time from a Hindoo.
Rajah Rham Singh, Hindoo
actor and dramatist, has writ
ten a bitter attack upon jazz.
"Kaffir noise of the water
melon variety that takes its
origin from the yam and ba-
mana jungles of cannibalism. is
no help to the musical art of
civilized nation" said Rajah
Rham in his anti-jazz mani
festo.
"This everlasting plague-call
of the music hall and the, thea
ter for some Dixie land of mud
and cotton and fried chicken
that is stolen by a love-sick
coon - jumbling about negro
ma1nmies and black-eyed picka-

in introducing the confession Doro-
thy made to police that she killed
her mother, by reading to the jury
a confession Dorothy wrote while in
the Napa State Hospital, in which
she declared that Jimmie Lamar,
dope-fiend. killed Mrs. Ellingson.
The defense brought out in cross
examination of police witnesses that
the State had made no effort to
find Jimmy Lamar outside the
State, despite the fact the girl
originally accused him of the crime.
The defense was expected today
also to make a fight to place before
the jury the verdict of the jury
which declared Dorothy insane
Alienists, including Doctors J. d.
Ball and Fred E. Clark, were to
testify today that the girl is insane.
The father of the girl vas the
opening defense witness, declaring
he believed his daughter insane.
The defense may close it's case
this afternoon and State alienists
will testify tomorrow in rebuttal.

compliment.
All Of which is interesting be-
cause Garry McGarry is and con-
tinues to be a booster of Wash
ington as a theatrical city, and
has persisted against all pessi.
mistic opinion, that the National
Capital has a native population
ready and eager to support stock
productions.
X
At this late day, am violat-
ing no condolences when | reveal
that Mr.. McGarry's last expert
ences in the Shubert- Garrick-
that lamented F street playhouse
of wide open spaces in the or
chestra-was enough to shake
the confidence of all but a 100
per cent optimist. Garry engaged
the theater for his troupe, and
then proceeded for an elaborate
opening program. He had his
choice of the De Wolfe Hopper
Company playing the Gilbert and
Sullivan pieces for a season or
the visiting star system with
plays of standard merit and es'
tablished success.
He elected the latter program
and chose Jack Norworth in my
Lady Friends" to inaugurate his
repertoire experiment. To make
a short story briefer, it might be
said that 81 800 trickled through
the box office window during the
eight performances, and after
Saturday nights payroll had been
met, Garry stole silently away
to mediate on what happened.
A few months later, De Wolfe
Hopper came to Polls and play
ed a very successful sea with
the same productions McGarry
had rejected and then some time
later Harry Frazee turned my
Lady Friends" into a musical
comedy, i. e. mo, No, Nanette"
and raked in profits by the tens
of thousands, and is still raking
them in.
Such a run of luck would be
calculated to make even a chronic
Pollyanna grumble with the world,
but McGarry is ever looking tos
wards tomorrow's sun
He got his hands on another
bankroll started stock produc-
tions at Niagara Falls and had a
successful season.
This year he has been fortunate
in picking winning productions
from the start and his Buffalo
earnings have been the topic OF
much Broadway gossip.

Proverbially, the first six plays
of any new season die laugh
ingly. Just why, no one seems
to have, at this time. deduced:
but the early crop of failures"
is a slogan in the theater. And,
by a sad quirk of cosmic deri
sion. the first failure of any
season invariably gets itself
laughed into the graveyard of
oblivion because it produces
pun or jest never intended by
the producers.
In eXtenuation, note the re-
view Gilbert Gabriel, scribe de
theater, projected into print on
"a Lucky Break" the new
Zelda Sears comedy which opened
at the Cort early in the week.

twenty new plays New\York-bound.
1t seems there was a Wall
Street millionaire who went back
to his little Connecttcut ZONE
town and, just to be rid Of the
cares and opportunities of wealth,
announced that he was poor and
ruined. But everybody there, in
stead of turning againEt him,

COMMISSIONERS
EXPLAIN TAX REDUCTION

The Herald has been furnished
board of equalization. which is
printed for the benefit of those who
wish to know more about the pur-
poses N results of his action of
the county board. The Herald has
a very complete table of figures
showing results of the new rate. and
its effect in the various school dis
tricts of the county. but space for
| its use this week. The state.
ment is as follows:
There have beer complaints by
some project jewellers against the
action of the Park County Board of
Equalization in lowering the assess
ed value of grazing land. Thinking
much of this opposition is due to
ignorance of the exact effect of
this change, h Board publishes
this to acquaint the people with the
exact figures. These figures are
taken from a table compiled from
the assessors records for 1924 and
luz to the fact that more grazing
Land is being proved up on and
subject to tax, the change will be
less than shown. There is a fear
expressed that the railroad graz
ing land will be affected too much
and therefore the figures of that
land are also added.
There is listed on the Assessors
books in 1924, 325,623 acres of
grazing land at a total value of 81,
617,a09 which makes the average
value S4.94 per acre. The proposed
value of $3.50 per acre would make
the 325.623 acres worth s1,O79,90O,
or a reduction in the assessed val
of $3.50 .O09. This reduction of val
ne will be partly made up by an in
crease of owe 500 900 on sheep.
about 100000 on more grazing land
proved up on and increases due to
more property in the county. 1t is
not proposed to raise any rates,
therefore no one will have to pay
more taxes.
Approximately half of the taxes
derived from grazing land go di-
rectly to the school districts. There
fore any reduction in taxes reduces
the county income about equally
with the school districts.

BY the Associated Press.
The pending project of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad for acquiring
the Virginia system by lease and pur-
chase was brought into critical ques-
tioning yesterday at hearings before
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
n. ID. Maher, chairman of its board of
directors; A. c. Needles, its president
and w. j. Kern. vice president, in
charge of its operations, were all re
called to the witness stand to give
opponents of the plan opportunity to
cross examine them upon direct testi-
mony given last month.
MIR. Mahers stay was the longest
and II. j. Wagner, counsel for the
Norfolk port commission. sought re.
peatedly to show, in questions, that
the consolidation of the two railroads
would mean a lessening in railroad
competition for the whole Hampton
Roads area. The witness, disagree
ing, held that the Virginian was not a
real competitor with the Norfolk and
Western, and the controversy was car
ried into statistical representations of
traffic carried by the two lines.
Mr. Wagner also raised the question
of the Pennsylvania ownership of part
of Norfolk and Western stock, arguing
that this meant that the Virginia, too,

Unsatisfactory conditions charac-

The supply of beef on the market
seemed somewhat excessive, as com

NEW YORK. December 1-Nego-
tiations are now in progress on the
part of some of the larger common
carriers for the adoption of a device
which is expected to revolutioniZe
ticket selling on railroads, interurban
roads end bus lines. Under the pro-
posed system all but few ticket sell
ers and ticket offices would be elimi-
mated and the passenger would be
provided with his ticket by the con-
ductor.
This is accomplished by the use of
a ticket printing and auditing ma
chine, which is carried on strap by
the conductor. By the use of this port
able machine the ticket Is printed
In duplicate and acts both as a re
ceipt and a hat check for the passen-
ger, while the machine shows the ex-
act sum the conductor must turn in
TO the company at the end of the run.
1t is claimed by the manufacturers
of this device that the traveller is alb
solutely protected from overcharge or
the chance of being forced to pay
twice, while the cost of the tickets so
printed is only one-tenth as much
as for ordinary tickets.
