Arthur Barry will be brought from Sing Sing prison, where he is serv- ing 25 years for the Livermore rob- bery, to testify against Williams, District Attorney Edwards said.
 He said Barry and Williams, for merly close friends, hate each other so bitterly now that he expects to ob- tain valuable information by bring ing them together.
 Edwards revealed that Williams had once posed as the son of Judge Thayer of Massachusetts, who pre- sided at the murder trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Actually Boston Billy's" only rela- tionship with the judge was when Thayer sentenced him to long pris- on term when he was 19 years old, Edwards said.

 In 1920 he was sentenced to from 8 to 10 years. again for breaking and entering. He wasn't progressing fast and he was dissatisfied. He escaped on the way to the peniten- tiary and came to New York, where close study of ;..orts pages gave him thorough knowledge of athletic events as we'll as familiarity with the particular variety of the English language used therein. At night clubs he learned to wear full dress. He began to "crash" golf clubs, ob- taining guest cards at some and membership in others. He read so- ciety pages devotedly. Between the society pages and the golf course gossip, he learned great deal about suburban New York jewelry, and, police believe, he profited much from his instruction.

GENEVA NAVAL CRISIS ACUTE
(Continued from First Page)

Britain and the United States are urged by the newspapers to lead the world towards peace-a patch which they say Japan is prepared to follow.
 Businessmen make the point that the capability of cruisers in protect ing trade routes is extremely doubt full and place stress on the develop ment of aviation, instancing the flight of Colonel Lindbergh and others, as well as the activities of German submarines during the war. They regard cruisers as poor in- vestment as protectors of commerce, and call for drastic curtailment.
 Geneva, July Pl-All the dele gates wore smiles as they emerged from the private session of the exec utive committee of the naval con- ference today, and later there were expressions by both participants and observers that things were going very much better. This produced the distinct impression that the ten sion of the past two days had les sened measureably and that the plenipotentiaries were attacking the problems with genuine determina- tion to reach an agreement.
 The cruiser problem, which Is the danger point of the conference, was discussed in general terms. It is understood that no advance was made in solving the difficulty which has arisen from the divergent figures presented by Great Britain on the one hand, and the United States and Japan on the other.
 Admiral Saito, head of the Japan csc delegation, explained the new Japanese proposal, which follows the line of the American minimum pro- posals for cruisers and destroyers, but requests a higher proportion of submarines.

THE FOURTH AEOLIAN RECITAL,
l. broadcast tomorrow night, will be an
occasion of unusual Importance.
These concerts, which began three weeks
ago, form part Of great international cam
paign inaugurated by The Aeolian Company
for the purpose of assisting the rapidly devel-
oping appreciation of the beautiful master
pieces Of the classical composers.
All over the world musical renaissance
is taking place. Evidences of this multiply on
every side. Coming just at this time it is of
especial interes. and significance. Never in
the history of art has good music been so
readily available. Most Of the larger cities
have Symphony Orchestras; the smaller cities
aud towns boast of their Orchestras, Bands
and Choral Societies.
The Moving Picture industry is doing its
share in this far-reaching movement. The
larger houses where pictures are shown have
fine orchestras and their programs feature the
best operate and Symphonic music.
All over the country, music clubs have been
formed and with steadily increasing member
ship are actively engaged in doing their part to
develop an understanding and love Of fine
music
The Radio, the Phonograph and the Repro
ducing Piano, are bringing the works of the
master composers and the famous interpreters
into the remotest homes.
Nor are people longer content to be merely
listeners. Music schools everywhere report
largely increased attendance and in many in
stances have had to turn away pupils. Never was
there time when SO many students were learn
ing to play the piano, the organ and the more
popular of the smaller musical instruments
Evening star., 1927-10-25

Never was knowledge Of good music so i'm
portant; for while you may enjoy the perform
ance of fine piece Of music without any
knowledge of it, your pleasure will be i'm
measurably increased by familiarity with the
composition and knowledge Of the composer
and his meaning. Josef Holman says. "You
get from concert just exactly what you take
to it, no more"
That the Aeolian Recitals crafty a real need
in American life is forcefully indicated by the
reception that has been accorded the first con-
certs. Now, in order that listeners may take an
active part in theprograms. The Aeolian Com
pany announces unique Contest, beginning

ing for the FIVE weeks ending November g.

vkGRANCY CASES IN
 IN JUNEAU DROPPED
BOYLE DISMISSES ALL WAC" Ac- TONS UNTRIED ON MOTION
 OF GOVERNMENT

The so-called "vag" cases came to an end in Juneau when on motion of the U. s. attorneys office, the five remaining cases were dismissed by F. A. Boyle of the U. s. Commission CTS court. This action followed the acquittal of two defendants who had demanded ruy trials. The defend ants in the cases dismissed were: John Veil, Dan Actipis, J. M. Ben nett, H. Rumberg and Gus Strom. The warrant for Strom had not been served. The others were arrested. Rumberg was released on his own re- cognizance and the others were freed for dismissal was based on a lack of evidence to support the charges of vagrancy which, in these cases, al leged the defendants to be absolute and without visible means of support. An amusing incident resulted from this allegation during the trial of the case against Ole Anderson, who was acquitted. During the direct exam ination of a government witness deputy marshal, by U. s. Attorney A. G. Shoup, the latter asked the wit ness if Anderson appeared to be a dissolute person. To this the depu- ty responded, "Yes, he has always seemed to be well dressed and we'll fed. While the jury recovered its composure and spectators stif1ed their laughter, MT. Shoup proceeded to ex- plain the meaning of the word dis solute."

IMPORTANCE OF NUKA BAY

The announcement that the Geodetc Survey steamer Surveyor will make extensive surveys in Nuka Bay dur ing the coming carries deep significance in that it discoses that recognition is being given to the possbi ties of the mines in that region winch rapidly ap preaching great commercial importance.
 It would not be overstatng the prospects of that zion say that it is destined to become of the most important quartz discoveries since the Treadwe. While not yet revealing the large bodies of owgrare that supplied the Treadwel there number of pro- mos % vns for u in that hey N have from grass roots and the initial investment in de- veopment is insignificant
 As the survey of the bay and its harbor facilities has come without any further than the possible ports of the Geological Survey, it is presumed that this department has found possibilities in the district which warrants the attention of the Geodetic Survey.

SENATOR EDWARDS "CALLS THE TURN

"New bureaus with the purpose of making more jobs for the faithful"
 Senator Edwards of New Jersey said it.
 In the vernacular he "told the world" something that the nation is fast awakening to.
 Senator Edwards was the force which prevented the Treasury Department Internal Revenue Service and Dry Enforcement-is 1t a bureau or merely what not?"-from creating two new bureaus to which they would "pass the buck" having failed ignomniousy in putting down the nocooperationist revolt in the nation directed to resentment of invasion of personal beres
 Unfortunately the bell in the revolt is liquor, yet this element is almost lost sight of by nnetens of the under the sting of laws made to regulate pr vae morals and character, differing from ordinary rules of law in that does not encroach upon either destruction of anothers property, confscaton bring within it's scope what are termed crimes of violence
 Theorists will arise to brand Senator Edwards an rreconcabe wet and here the bureaucrats have an out They set down the Senator's attitude to his desire to obstruct prohibition enforcement needs obstruction to defeatt It is defeating itself through the natural forces which compel ordinarily impeccable citizen to refuse to become the persecutor of his fellow that the ba1naces costing the nation than is required to maintain the Navy may continue to cling to the hull of the ship of state
 The prohibition law like most ultra-reforn is the product of cowardce. It enanates from those who being unable to master themselves in the practice of temperance seek to master others by collective action
 And while Senator Edwards was on the subject, he might have pointed to Aaskas newest bureau-a repre- sentative of the Interior and Agricultural Departments to be stationed in the Territory to have say with spect to the activities of other bureaus It remarkable that Aaskns not taken into the confidence of Wash ngton and consulted with respect to what form of gov ernment ttey desired of that the work of consolidating the activities of the bureaus not completed before the enactnet of law granting powers to the President to name another bureau
 Like the prohibition enforcement bureau sought to be created but blocked by Senator Edwards it appears to be an analogous case of where the original organization has failed and instead of aboshng it in it's entirety adds further cbersomeness by multiplicity and as Senator Edwards says: Makes more jobs for the faithful"

GENEVA WILL HEAR PLEA
 FOR 28-DAY MONTH

GENEVA, Feb .16. Determined efforts to bring about reform of the calendar with a 2S-day month have been taken with the view of definite action at Geneva in August.
 In 16 capitals of northern Europe steps have already been taken to show the advantages of the fixed calendar idea. There are opponents of the plan but no organized effort has yet ap- peared.
 Under the proposed plan of reform all months would have 2S days, the first day of the month always falling on Sunday and the last Saturday. If the year remained the same length an extra month would be introduced, leaving one day over and two in leap year. Thirtee months would look like this:
