Bright Walled Cafe Lights London Gloom

LONDON, Nov. 15-An anti-do- pression restaurant for shoppers on foggy days has opened in Pic cadilly.
 Artificial sunlight effects are obtained by glowing golden walls and ceiling in the lounge. The walls of the restaurant are paper ed silver and are set aglow by dull orange and green lights in alabaster globes.
 The yellow carpet has blue suns on it. The chairs and tables are of apple-green. Shimmering gre sn taffeta curtains provide an illu- sion of leaves and woods outside.
 We wanted something thAt would cheer up women shoppers on the dull, sunless sort of day that is good sample of the Eng. fish climate in any season." one of the sponsors of the idea de- clared.
 A jazz orchestra will further brighten the atmosphere.

SAMOUSSOUD SUES
OVER OPERA TICKETS
Conductor Wants Accounting From
Director and Washington Com
pany on Alleged Agreement.

Edouard Albion and the National
Opera Association, both of 1914 G.
street, were sued individually today
in the District Supreme Court by
Jacques Sameussoud of 1859 Hobart
street for an accounting in connection
with the sale of tickets for two per-
formances of the opera association.
Samoussoud, who formerly was
conductor for the association, says
that in April, 1926, Albion made an
oral agreement with him to give occa-
sional performances of opera in Wash
ington. the profits and losses to be
shared equally. After the perform
ances of La Traviata," May 10, 1925,
and "Pagliacci," April Is, 1926, Albion
told Samoussoud, the latter says, that
insufficient money was made to pay
expenses. Samoussoud says he then
gave Albion $3.50 and $500 to Nine
in addition released claim of $500
for compensation as conductor.
Samoussoud claims the opera com
pany has received large sums of mon
ey from guarantors to defray its losses
and has reimbursed them by giving
them tickets, which he says is indi-
rectly selling them. In this manner
he claims, $4,000 was distributed
among the guarantors. He says he
has repeatedly asked for an account
ing of this distribution and has been
refused. He asks the court to COM
pei the accounting and payment of a
share of the money received.

and distribution of property, and also
to make remarks, personal and other
wise, with regard to Representative
Oscar f. Keller" of Minnesota, a mem
Der Of the District committee, who Is
leaving Congress at the close of the
present session.
Mr.. Blanton attended the committee
meeting only long enough to plead
with the members to protest against
confirmation by the Senate Of the APP
pointment of Blaine Mallan as peoples
counsel with the new Public Utilities
Commission.
Every one Of us ought to be rising
up and asking the Senate not to con.
firm him. There ought to be some
one in that office who understands
the peoples interest in public utilities
matters. l know he is appointed by
the President. and We have no au-
thority there, but the confirming power
is in the other end of the Capitol and
where we do have some influence. We
should serve notice that the President
must appoint a man who is able and
efficient to the Office Of peoples coun-
sell" said MIR. Blanton.

claring he was producing a spec

for Moreno endeavored to have
Kelly point out any distinguishing
features of the three bullets, but
the detective heatedly refused to do
so, explaining he was not a pistol
or bullet expert. He gave the
opinion, however, that the bullets
looked like .3S caliber."

as vicious circle"
Says "Circle" Exists.
Mr.. Gilbert said that the superintend-
emf of schools who was to be appoint"
ed hy the Board of Education was also
influential in the appointment OF the
school Board. The Chief Justice had
repeatedly said he would not appoint
any one to the School Board who
would not cooperate with, or VINO
would be antagonistic to, the superln.
tendent of schools, he continued, ana
added that the superintendent had
frequently said publicly he would not
have any one on the School Board VINO
would not cooperate with him, 50
the question is whether the School
BOARD appoints the superintendent, or
the superintendent appoints the
school Board" Mr.. Gilbert told the
committee.
Carrying out the suggestion OF the
subcommittee on education, following
the hearing last night, Mr.. Gilbert laid
the matter before the. full committee
with the suggestion that further in

ferred to the Gibson subcommittee,

SINCLAIR TOFACE
CONTEMPT CHARGE
viii Be Arraigned Next Week
on Accusation of Refusing
to Answer ProberS.

Harry f. Sinclair, New York oil
magnate, will be arraigned early
next week in Criminal Division . of
the District Supreme Court, on an in
dictment charging him with contempt
for his refusal to answer certain Ques-
lions propounded by the Senate oil in
vestigation committee, United States
Attorney Peyton Gordon announced
today.
The mandate of the Court of APP
peaIs which dismissed the special APP
peal allowed Sinclair from an order of
the lower court overriding his de-
murrer was presented to Justice VIII
liam Hitz by Mr.. Gordon.
Sinclair also is due to stand trlai
February with Albert b. FAN, Tor
mer Secretary of the Interior. in
Criminal Court before Justice Hitz
on a charge of conspiracy to defraud
the Government in connection with
the Tea Pot Dome lease. Mr.. FAN.
however, may not be able to appear
owing to his illness In Ell Paso.
The lower court held that Sinclair
should have answered of the 10
questions propounded. His special
appeal was held up in the Appellate
Court for a long time because the
United States Supreme Court had
not decided the Nal Daugherty con-
tempt case which involved the same
questions of law.
The Supreme Court has decided
one of the questions involved in the
Daugherty case--the legal authority
of the Senate to subpoena witnesses
and documents-and in favor Of the
Senate, bat the right of the Senate
to compel a witness to testify under
threat of indictment is still open.
