REF UND
SOUGHT

Another attack on the $3.000,-
0Oo retained by the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company last year,
when it reached q compromise
agreement with the Public Utili-
ties Commission over the division
of the $4,000, 900 impounded fund,
was launched in the District Su-
preme Court today--this time by
the United States Government.
u. s. 10 intervene
District Attorney Peyton Gordon
filed a petition with the court ask
ing for continuance Of the case
OF Edwin L. Davis, who filed a pc
tition last week asking for his share
Of the $4,000 900, in order that the
Government may intervene. The
request was granted by Justice
Stafford.
The Governments claim win be
based on decision Of Comptroller
General j. Raymond McCarl that the
Government should have received
$3.50 900 from the $4,000 900 instead
OF $125.000.
The Governments petition was
presented today when the petition
presented by Davis came up for
hearing. Davis is attaching the
right Of the court to approve the
compromise. He claims:
THAT the order Of compromise is
void in that the court was without
authority to sign any valid decree
affecting money belonging to your
petitioner in a cause in which he
was not named q party litigant.
Interest In Total Claimed
Davis claims that he has an in
lterest in the entire $6,000,0 900 fund
and that instead OF receiving $50
he should have received SIS.
Both petitions viii be heard next
Friday before Justice Stafford wing
signed the decree settling the origi-
nal compromise which resulted in
the division of the e-impouuded fund.

 Deny Oothers' Right
 Now that the commissions pro- posal is about to be transformed in law, thus necessarily comprising legislation regarding things and persons primarily under the sacred power entrusted to us by God and our apostolic ministry, for which ws answer to God, and God only. there is imposed upon us the duty to de- clare that respecting such things and persons we cannot acknowledge to anybody else the right and power of legislation without pre- vious opportune negotiations for legitimate accord with this holy sec and with us.
 Tt is moro than a mere measure restoring religious teaching in tho schools or the return to the church and clergy part of which has hcen unjustly taken from them.

NEEDS NEW COURT
 OF COMMON PLEAS
Hartford County Cases Increas.
 ing, Judge Malloy Says

The glib tongued lawyer who makes the most noise in court Is not always the best attorney, according 10 Judge Thomas J. Malloy of the Hartford county court of common pleas, who addressed the members Of the New Britain Lions club at the Burritt hotel today.
 Judge Malloy told the Lions when considering a lawyer, don't always consider the man who is glib of tongue, Often q layman is de- ceivcd by the noise n lawyer makes in court, Many times 1t is the noisy lawyer who spells his own case be, fore the jury and quite often with the court itself"
 Judge Malloy said the Creator did not Intend that life should be full of gloom and sorrow, but that since there must bo a certain amount of troubles, the courts are sort of n necessary evil He said the Hart ford county court of common pleas, organized in 1869, 10 relieve conges- ton in the superior court, Is unlike courts of other counties in that 1t does not have Jurisdiction over criminal cases,
 Common pleas judges are appoint ed for four years as compared 10 the eight year terms of superior court judges. Judge of common pleas court were originally paid s2,500 a year. Now they get sG,O0O.
 Ho quoted statistics showing the growth of the business of tho com mon pleas court since 1t was or ganizcd and predicted that Hartford county soon will need an additional court of common pleas.
 He said that while there Is q com mon feeling that lawyers arc in- clined to promote litigation, as rulo 1t is very much to the con trary and many persons are saved money, time and trouble by their lawyers settling the case out of court. Very often, he said. a client literally demands that the case be carried 10 court.
 hhp'llOl NpulI Jh16'o H4N tiS hardest worked men, intellectually, in the country, he said. They do their hardest work Saturdays and Sundays. They are paid 5000 q year, out of which they must pay their own expenses, amounting to about $2,00O a year. Any one of them, he added could make three times as much in private practice,
 The Lions voted to be hosts to the United Community Corporation drive workers one day this year, as Is the usual custom.
 Calling attention to the Y. W. C. A. drive for 15,000, President Har- ry G. Hancock announced that he had refused permission for a five minute speaker because last year young woman asked for five minutes and took 20.

MARION TALLEY IS
 AGAIN GREAT HIT
Her Singing at Matinee Thrills
 Vast Crowd

New York. Feb. 23 Rl-Maron Talley, youngest coloratura soprano of the Metropolitan Opera company yesterday afternoon repeated in her second appearance the success she achieved at her debut Wednesday night.
 Tho ovation that greeted her ca. dcnza in the mad scene of Doni2ct- tis Lucia Iii Lammermoor" equal cd in volume and duration that ac- corded her singing Of "Caro Nome" in her debut in "Rigoletto" and eX- cceded 1t in apparent spontaneity.
 Hundreds were turned away from the doors after the last pos sible stander had been squeezed into the ranks three and four deep in the horseshoe bordering the or chcsra seats to hear the 19 year .oll Kansas City girl. All seats for todays non-subscription matinee were sold out before her debut.
 Her arias In the three acts in which she appeared were generous ly applauded, and at the end of the first act she took nine curtain calls and at the end of the second act ten calls. with Lauri-Volpi and De Luco, who also supported her at her debut.
 In the sextette in the second act, Miss Tallcy at times held back her voice and was obscurcd by Lauri- Volpi's vigorous tenor; but in the mad scene of the third act. she gave herself full range. taking the coloratura runs with the same as surednoss and absence of nervous ness that marked her debut.
 The brilliancy of her upper reg ister and the full softness of her lower tones delighted the audience, and at the end of the aria she was given an ovation of three and h half minutes.
 Again, as in "Caro Nome." the briliancy of the high notes was achieved at the expense of tight ness and apparent straining. But as she followed the flute obligato there was less sharping than was noticed at her debut.
