ROTARIANS HELP OPERAT|C STUDENT Kansans Are Fostering Talented
 Young Singer

Wichita. Kan, Jan. 8 R-Thrce years ago in the choir of Wichita church, Kathleen kersting today is hailed one of the discoveries" of modern opera She is completing her musical education in Europe, with Mme. Emma CalVe, under the guar dianship of the Wichita Rotary club.
 Calve heard Kathleen sing while the French opera star was on con- cert tour of North and South Amer ic. in 1922. She consented 10 a ncwspapcrman's request to intro ducc the girl and was so charmed by the .imprompto recital that she insisted Kathleen should accompany her on her return 10 France.
 Kathlecn's father is a farmer, but the family invested all their humble holdings in the training which CaIve sail the girl should have abroad. Two years of study in France and Italy, where new world opened out before the little Kansas girl under the mothcrly care Of Madame, and uo little fortune was gone. The V" 'siings had opened rooming ',s lae to help obtain funds. Kathleen came home last winter 10 sing in concert but ouiy a few hundred dol jarS were gotten together.
 Then the Wichita Rotary club learned of the situation and came 10 kathleens aid. In a twinkIing, $5,- GOO was raised. and Kathleen went back to France and to the jealous care of her internationally known tutor. With the othor of Calves youthful protcges, the girl studied 'hc music and art Of the continent.
 Recently She appeared in infor- nal r"ctals where her voice was ac- clIimrd by several of the great French critics as that of Calve. al the height of her career. The criti- Cal audience, said one of those pres ,n,, little anticipated what was in s'orr for them. But as Kathleen sang the attitude changed from one of eager interest to one of frank and charmed amaZcmcnt. CalVe stood below her watching every movement Kathleen responded 10 cncorcs un. iii ralve refused 10 let her sing more.
 Calve. herself, says that within i've years. Kathleen will be known as one of the great voices"

TERRIBLE DECISIONS HANDED OUT IN FIGHT
Referee Henry Gerrity Hits Hardest Blow of Two Fights at
 Governors Foot Guard.

Two of the worlds worst decisions were handed down by Referee Harry Gerrity in the boxing card at Foot Guard hall last night.
 There were several hard blows blows struck during the fight. but the hardest blow Of the fight was the one put forward by the noble referee. It staggered the entire crowd. At the end of the 18th round of the main go. the crowd started to leave knowing that the only thing left now was the formal ity Of declaring Petroile the winner. When Muntys hand was raised the crowd was paralyzed. Not a man left in the hall moved for at least two minutes, and then the uproar began.
 Petrolle, the fighter sent the shifty Mandy, the boxer, staggering about the ring several times throughout the battle. The latter's mouth bled from the early rounds. Manty did not seem to have punch for he connected several times without even marking his opponent.
 PincuS Silverborg, state tlywcight champion from Ansonia, also came in for raw deal in his hattlo. He fought d clever, heady fight. In the first two rounds which he lost, he displayed a good defense. He did not show the tashy form that his opponent. Ruby Bradley showed. but he had clear margin of points when the referee declared the Dark Cloud" from Bridgeport the winner. A draw or a decision for Silverberg woulN have been better. but to give the decision to Bradley was rank piece Of work.
 "SmiIcr" Mccormack of New Lon don did very little smiling in his bout, in fact Johnnie O'Keefe, his opponent laughed out loud. O'kcefe might have knocked the 'Smiler" out if he followed his advantage in .he first round, but he was given a technical knockout decision in the last round.
 Frankie portclle of Hartford had Johnnie Dow of Holyoke out on his feet in the first round. and out, off his feet, in the second stanza.

VIRGIN ISLANDS SEEKING CHANGE
Insular Affairs Committee Considers Re-
vision of Legal Status.

Washington, Jan. 30-Revision of the
legal status of the Virgin Islands was
given consideration by the House of
Representatives Committee on Insular
Affairs at the Capitol.
Different aspects of the question have
been placed before the House by the
presentation of bills H. r. 8517 and
H.. r. 7I83, the former to confer United
States citizenship on inhabitants of the
group and the latter to establish a llml-
ted form of self-government patterned
after the American model upon the is
.-nds. This first hearing. however, was
devoted to general discussion of the sub
ject in which representatives of the is
landers and the Navy Department were
heard.
H. V. Berg, member of the Council of
St. Croix, said that members of elective
bodies, such as he, all favored autonO-
my, while those now vested with authori-
ty desired continuation of the present
tions he advocated the separation of St.
Croix from the other two islands and
its incorporation as a municipality of
Porto Rico. 40 miles away.
This step he advocated since St. Croix
was dSIlCulluld d. WuSlGdS tue wv OClCL
islands were mainly industrial.
Asked how he proposed to raise the
$3.50, coo deficit. now contributed by the
United States, he said the funds would
have to be secured by increased taxation
upon the inhabitants and properties of
the islands.
Rear Admiral KittelIe. the third COVER
nor of the islands, appeared and said
that the islanders were fine people and
were MOI suffering from any basic trou.
bles. The placing of the territory under
the authority of the United States had
destroyed manufacturing and shipping
industries on account of the prohibition
law, so the principal problems were
economic and not political in any local
sense. The actual government of the
islands, he said, was a very simple affair.
He advised the committee to send "a SUBJ
committee to investigate on the spot.
He favored that TIE inhabitants be
given citizenship and that the judicial
system be given so that appeals could be
