poses, lis expected In the Prussian

expenditures that might well be borne
by private enterprise.

to make up deficits in the two opera
houses and two theaters in Berlin. a
theater, in Weisbaden and one in Cas-.

PARIS, February 10 IP). - Erika
Morini, the young violinist, has won
a triumph almost unparalleled in the
annals of French music. Unknown a
few weeks ago, she is now hailed by
French critics. usually most severe
TO foreign artists, as "a young Tiolin-
ist of the great race of Kreislers.
Sarasates and kubeliks." The en-
thusiasm of the public is more than
shared by violinists, who are simply
amazed by Miss Morini's marvellous
stechnic. Lucien Bellanger, one Of
the leading Paris violinists, declared
after hearing her that she must have
discovered some new method. for she
played without the slightest effort
passages of extreme difficulty. which
with other players required years of
close and patient study.

HFLAPPER' VOTING
SUFFERS SETBACK
British Cabinet at Odds on
Suffrage for Women
Under 80.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 1.--"Flapper sur
frage," as opponents term the vote
for women between the ages of Il ana
80, has met with setback in the
cabinet. There is possibility that
the government will take no action
until the views of all the political
parties are given at joint confer
ence.
Mrs. Emmeline PankhurSt ana
other suffragists, who some years BACK
were campaigning for votes Tor
women and won them for women over
80, redoubled their efforts today to
get the franchise for women over Il
because it became known after a cabl-
net meeting that consideration OF the
plan probably would be deferred until
the next session of Parliament.
Cabinet Is Divided.
7he cabinet ministers are at odds
on the subject.
The contention is made by the OPP
ponents of ''happer suffrage" that if
the 900, 900 women between the ages
of 81 and 80 in the United Kingdom
are permitted to vote the woman
voters will outnumber the men in all
but few mining communities.
Should the government adopt the
plan to submit the question to the
political parties. it is believed Pre-
nnier Baldwin will favor a form Of
proportional representation.
Reasons for Delaying Action.
Because of signs of renewed life in
the Liberal party there is likelihood
of at least three candidates in most
constituencies, which would afford
many opportunities for the election
of members by minority votes. The
government desires to avert such a
possibility.
