MUSIC WAR STIRS CAPITAL
ALBION FOUGHT
by SANOUSSOUD

Washington today faces the pros
poets of a music war which prom.
ises to vivify its never prosaic win
ter program.
Announcement that Jacques Sa.
naossoud, until lately the conductor
/ Of EdOuard Albion's Washington
Opera Company. would give q SYM
phony concert Of his own early in
January. was followed today by the
statement that this symphony would
be by the same artists SamossOud
has been conducting for the past
three years, Safnossoud Is taking
Albion's artists with him. at least
for the time.
Behind these cryptic announce
ments lies realm of entertaining
rumor, not to say gossip. 1t cen
ters, as such gossip must. about the
temperaments of directors, conduc-
tors and artists, and boils down to
the opinion that Sanossoud has of
Mr.. Albion's acquaintance with
operate literature.
Mr.. Albion has. countered by ex-
pressing. almost publicly, his views
regarding certain of Samossoud's
qualifications to be "A conductor.
Friends of Mr.. Albion regard the
severance with approval.
Friends of Samossoud on the
other hand say openly that the ar
tist. in an unguarded moment, per-
mitted his sensibilities to rebel and
conquer the philosophic tolerance
with which Samossoud for three
years has met Albion's insistent
handling Of musical scores and
choruses.
The fact remains that Samossoud
will give his own symphony with
Albion's company of 80 artists. and
further, that Albion has engaged,
to replace Samossoud, George
Georgesco, royal director Of the
grand opera and philharmonic or
chestra Of Rumania, imported to
this country by Queen Marie.
Georgesco. too. will direct the same
group of 80 artists for thu perform
ance of 'La Boheme" January 10
Meanwhile other aspects of the
music war are brewing. There is
a claim OF money due Samossoud
and Attorney George Vournas has
written a polite note to Mr.. Albion
askin for an accounting.
Whether there will be court &C.
ton depends on Mr.. Albion, the
attorney said today.

at $40 he was rearrested by Sixth

INDIAN DANGERS ID REST TONIGHT
Ceremony to Sun God Has Con-
 tinued Since Saturday

Poacatilo, Idaho. July 20 lP) - Entering into the final period of their dance to their sun god with renewed vigor early today, the 70 Bannock and Shoshone tribesmen reached frenzy unknown in the first stages of the ritual. Spurred by in tense hunger and thirst, the dancers accelerated their monotonous steps as they sought physical and spirit ual purification from their gods.
 Some scooped up dust from the base of the great totem pole and rubbed it over their perspiring bodies. The tom toms grew louder and increased their tempo to keep time to the whistles of the dangers.
 Later today the dancers will rest in their places about the totem pole. around which they have danced since sunset Saturday.
 Then they will be given scant swallows of water at intervals, and later small portions of food to pre- pare them for the feast which is to be theirs after they have suf- fciently recovered from their ex- ertions.
 Hundreds of Indians have as- sembIed from the Fort Hall and other reservations for the dance and the celebration to follow.

BANKRUPTCY PROCEDURE
 EXPLAINED BY REFEREE
Keogh Believes That Tucctfon Of The Court Is To Discharge
 The Bankrupt.

Bridgeport, July 20 tP - The schools of thought" which divided business men in their opinions con- corning bankruptcy were explained from the bench by Federal Referee John Keogh in bankruptcy court today.
 Maurice Bernhardt, owner of the Barnum Trucking company. whu was adiudicated bankrupt on April 27 owing to 4S unsecured creditors in the sum of $15,5S3.95 and having assets of only s575. filed an applica- ton for a discharge as a bankrupt. A person interested in his estate. confessing his unfamiliarity with the law, asked why discharge should be granted.
 There are two schools of thought" Referee keogh advised him, one group holding that 1t is most important to take bankrupts assets and distribute them equitably among his creditors; the other school declaring the principal func- ton of bankruptcy should be to "clean up'' and discharge an insol- vent debtor, it being more important to discharge a bankrupt than II Is to give his assets to his creditors. At any rate, if bankrupt has vio lated no criminal or bankruptcy law. he Is automatically entitled to a drs'
