Senator BCrah asserted the issue
was whether the United States would
enter a League of Nations court or
IAN Independent judicial tribunal"
He recalled that the late President
Harding, in a message to the Senate,
declared the tribunal should be in fact
a world court and that the United
States should enter 1t only upon
equality with other nations.
The Senator quoted many sources
to show that the present tribunal is
d part of the League of Nations. He
said that when the secretary of the
league called together the jurists,
constituting the committee that or
ganlzed the court, they We're notified
that they were to organize an essen
tial department of the league. He
quoted Elihu Root as saying the court
was connected with the league.
Cites Limitations.
No state or government not mem
ber of the league can use the court
without the leagues permission, Mr..
BOrah asserted. He added that until
the United States adherence was
broached there was no denial or ques-
tion of the leagues connection with
the court. Sir Robert Horne, speak
ing to the recent meeting of the Inter
parliamentary Union in Washington
had said that although the United
States had refused to join the league,

A real World Court, the Senator
argued, must be founded upon inter
national law, chief among whose ar
ticles would be u clause defining war
as a crime, and providing that those
men responsible for war be held ac-
countable to the court. He would give
the court compulsory power to brinc

MUSIC
Fourth Mayffower Concert.

A program of operatic music with.

creating plausible atmosphere is al
ways difficult, and shows the artists
participating at great disadvantage.
Such a program invites a facetious
and unsympathetic reception. The

ception. Three singers, a violinist
and three accompanies strove to
please fairly large audience, but the
ungrateful type of their music, SC
rarely satisfactory on the concert
stage, and many annoying sounds
from external sources in adjacent
compartments of the hotel were OBJ
stacles not easily to be surmounted
AS result, this final promenade con

successful.

GAYETY-Abe REYNOLDS.

This Is like old homecoming week
at the Gayety Theater. Abe Reynolds
Is paying his annual visit to Wash
lngton and he is being accorded a
reception befitting his position on the
burlesque stage. There is only one
Abe Reynolds, and, strange to say,
no imitators. There may be funnier
and cleverer comedians in burlesaue,
but If there are they never reach
this city. Reynolds has a smooth
flowing line of fun that is hard to
resist, never resorting to slap-bang
methods so common with many
comedians, yet he is able to get the
laughs from the most sophisticated.
Abe has new speciality. Base Ball
a la Carte" that is uproariously funny
and timely. Lew Lewis and Duke
Rogers contribute largely to the fun
making.
Grace Cameron has a clever spe-
cialty in which she mimics we'll known
stage characters and also proves her
ability as a comedienne otherwise.
One of the pleasing features of the
show is the singing of Lora Carol, a
charming young woman with a good
voice and striking personality. The
soubrette, Kay Norman, won favor
with the audience with her singing
and display of pep"
"A speclalty that caught the fancy
last night was a musical turn by
Kanui's Hawaiians, who played haunt
ing melodies on guitar, banjo and
ukelele such as only Hawaiians can.
They were literally rewarded with
applause.
Others in the cast are Thad De
Monica, who played violin with
considerable ability; Lui Ring, Andy
White and Betty O'Day. The scenery
carried by this shaw is rather pre-
tentious for burlesque production,
and the chorus is well trained in the
dance ensembles.

ARLINGTON BEATS
ROADS BOND PLAN
Favorable Majority Returned
In But One Precinct-Ex-
ira Taxes Feared.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLARENDON, Va. April 21.-The
proposed road bond program in Arling-
ton district was rejected by the voters
yesterday by 29s majority. Only
one precinct out of the five-and that
the smallest in the district, Glen
Carlyn--turned in favorable vote.
The election developed two big sur
priSes. Arlington precinct, believed
to be the stronghold of the opposition,
went against the proposal by the small
majority of 16 votes. Clarendon pre-
cinot, which before election was count
ed on by the proponents to turn in
good vote for the bonds, and even
conceded as lost by the opposition,
showed a ma ajority of 50 against.
Ballston and Rosslyn ran about true
to expectations.
The vote by precincts follows: Ross
lyn, Sc for, 173 against; Glen CarIyn,
60 for, 2S against; Ballston, 1874 for,
$50 against; Arlington. EOS for, 224
against; Clarendon, 273 for, 355 against.
Rejection of the proposal, it is be-
lieved, was due principally to fear
of a burdensome tax, that the estab-
liShment of the roads would not work
to equal advantage on all sides, and a
sentiment that improved water and
sewer works should be provided first.
Members of the Arlington District
Good Roads Commission, a citizens
organization which spent year work
ing up the plans for the project, ex-
pressed themselves as much disap-
pointed, but not discouraged. They
stated that they believed the voters
had made a mistake. The organiza-
ton is a permanent one, but it could
not be determined what future action
it would take with regard to road de-
velopment.
Elated over their victory, the op-
posing forces staged a torchlight au-
tomobile parade through the principal
communities of the district.

ADJUSTMENTS

A brilliant audience greeted, ap-

more and her incompatible genius,

she appeared In revival of Sir
Arthur Wing Pinero's famous drama,

Critics have acclaimed Miss Barry
more's Interpretation and characteri-
zation of the title role Of this impress
sive old play as a standard of the
American stage. Discussion of it's
superb artistry would, therefore. seem
to be superfiuous. 1t is sufficient to
say that it held and swayed a repre-
sentative audience of the National
Capital with its power, its flnesse and
its heart-touching sympathy from
the time when the unhappy Paula
first entered the home of Aubrey
Tanqueray, burdened with a dismal
past and wildly clinging to the hope
of happiness through marriage, until
| the tragic close of her life in the final
scene of the play.
Her audience closely followed with
sympathetic interest her wayward i'm
petuosity, her jealousy of her hus-
bands affection for her daughter,
| fresh from the atmosphere of the
| convent where her chaste and unre-
! sponSive mother had placed her before
| her DEATH her struggle to win the
affectionate response of the girl, her
| protest when she is removed from her
influence, her joy and her hope when
the girl returns with her first kiss of
affection and the crash of everything
| when she discovers that she has given
her heart TO a man she believes to
be unworthy of her.
Certainly no role to which Miss
Barrymore has ever devoted her eX-
quisite talents has ever made a wider
or severer demand upon them, and
| yet,N as she ranged the entire run of
the emotions for which it calls, she
seemed ever mistress of the situation,
ever Incompatible in her power of
portrayal. 1t is said that Miss Barry

failed to widen this clientele in Wash
