DETECTIVE TO FIGHT
CURB ON INTERVIEWS
Will Appeal Baltimore Contempt
Ruling in Somehow
Robbery Case.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, December 81
Whether a police official has dis
cretionary powers to take the public
into his confidence during the course
of police investigation will be tested
in the Maryland courts.
Judge Eugene O'Dunne found
Detective Capt. Charles Fl. Burns
guilty of contempt for q statement
attributed TO him in a newspaper
story, in which he explained that
James (Fur) Sammons, arrested in
Chicago in connection with the re-
cent $4,000 ho1d-up of Henry Some
born & Co. pay roll messengers here,
had not been claimed by Baltimore
police because it was desired that
he be released to act as a decoy for
William Neimoth, also wanted for
the same crime.
The judge cited the detective cap
tain for not abstaining from Eek
PLANTATION and glorification' until
after the cases had been disposed in
the courts. Capt. Burns maintained
he owed it to the public to explain
that the police had not been derelict
in their duty. His counsel an
nounced last night that they will
appeal.

FLOOD SPREADS
OVER NASHVILLE
Swollen River Creeps Slowly
Higher, With Crest Ex-
pected Late Today.

By the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, December 81.
The Cumberland River, having
reached a 55S-foot stage. five-tenths
of a foot higher than the previous
record of 1882, was creeping upward
this morning at a snails pace. A
flood crest Of Sc feet is expected late
today,
In the meanwhile, relief work pro-
crossed among the 5000 refugees of
the city and a check of the water
bound areas indicated that property
damage of. at least $2,000,000 had re-
suited from the high water.
Both approaches of the suspension
bridge over the Cumberland leading
to Old Hickory have been claimed by
the tremendous wash of the waters,
leaving only the center Of the struc-
ture visible in the middle of the
swollen stream.
A two-story house. which stood near
the bridge was washed down the river
about 900 feet. Many other instances
of freakish pranks of the stream were
visible.
Downstream towns were being mum
dated by the gigantic swell, and new
high-Water marks were established at
Ashland City and Cumberland City.
More than half the latter town was
submerged.
At Hartsville the river rose slowly
yesterday, and early today was 10
inches higher than yesterday.

OPERA DOORS OPEN
TO TWO AMATEURS
Florida Girl, Ia, and South

By tho Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 31.-A year
of triumph for homegrown operate
talent reached it's conclusion today
with additions arranged for a 14-year'
old Florida girl and the daughter of
a South Dakota farmer.
With the laurels of a metropolitan
debut fresh on the head of Joseph
Macpherson from the base ball sand
lots Of Nashville, Robbye Cook,
soprano, from Pensacola. and Mrs.
Emma Chladek Janousek. n1ezzo con-
tralto. daughter of Czech Immigrants
and widow Of q South Dakota lawyer,
were down for vocal tests this after
noon.
Miss Rosalie Sellers, a, Pensacola
radio fan, heard Robbye broadcast
three weeks ago. Miss Sellers wrote
to Otto Kahn, chairman of the Metro
politan Opera Co, and he suggested
q hearing in New York. Florida
radio fans raised the funds that
brought Robbye and her aunt, Mrs.
Norma f, POUCH, here.
Mrs. Janousek gave up her musical
ambitions when she married in Yank-
ton, S. Oak, but resumed her vocal
studies after her husbands death
seven years ago. She has two chill
dren.
MACPHERSON, a basso. who first sang
publicly in an amateur minstrel show
to earn money for Il Nashville sandlot
base ball team, won favorable COM
ment from critics.
He sang yesterday as the bewhisk-
cred Egyptian King in Verdi
Aida" in a benefit performance I'M
der the auspices of the Smith College
Club, after a failure to make his
debut December 8 because of cold.
The Herald-Tribune says: His voice
is of very good quality, well produced
and even. with ample depth"
The Times says: His voice is per-
haps a bass-baritone rather than a
bass, smoothly produced, of good
range and sorority"
Mrs. MACPHERSON was unable to
hear her husbands debut as her hip
was broken in fall on an icy side
walk several weeks ago.
Among other native singers who
had their chance on the Metropolitan
boards this year are Marion Talley,
daughter of a Kansas City telegraph
operator; Mary Lewis, adopted daugh-
ter of a Little Rock preacher, and
Louise Lerch of Allentown, Pa.

ETIQUETTE SAME.
British and American Meth

sea Talks Not Difficult.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 31.-Tele
phone etiquette apparently knows no
international boundary lines.
With Inauguration of the trans
atlantic radio phone service set for
early next month, American telephone
users will be relieved to learn that
telephoning in England is much the
same as in the United States. The
lone difference is that in England the
operators say "the line is engaged
users long since have used Hello In
place Of Are you there?"
The routine of obtaining a trans
atlantic telephone connection is ex
pected to present no greater difficulty
than the ordinary long distance call.
Operators Selected for Voices.
The first conversation marking the
opening of the new service for general
public use will be between Walter 5.
Clifford, president of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co., and Miss
Evelyn Murray, secretary of the Brit
ish post Office, which controls the
English telephone system.
Mr.. Clifford will pick up the tele'
phone in his office at 1875 Broadway
and ask for long distance. He will
ask long distance for London and Will
bo connected with an operator as
signed to the transatlantic service.
These operators, selected for their
low, we'll modulated voices, are now
learning the various New York and
London exchanges in order to faclli-
tate the service.
Calls Are ReIayed.
Mr.. Gifford's voice will be carried
by wire rs miles to Rocky Point, on
Long Island, and hurled through the
air 1850 miles to Wroughton, Eng
land, at a speed of 1856 900 miles sec
ond, and be carried 80 miles to Lon
don by wire.
Miss Murray's voice win go by wire
IS miles to Rugby, by air 1890 miles
to Houlton, Me, and be relayed by all
600 miles to Rocky Point and then by
wire to New York.
Conversations after the initial try
out will cost SIS for the first three
minutes use of the $5.000,000 worth
of equipment necessary and S15 for
each minute thereafter.
