CINCINNATI, December 10.-In-
dictment for perjury of John s. Berger,
rich Los Angeles. Calf, exposition
promoter and self-styled star wit
ness" for George Remus, his boyhood
friend, was today's outstanding de-
velopment in connection with the muir
der trial of the former king of boot
leggers.'
The indictment was 900 words long,
but it dealt specifically with Berger s
testimony that at st. Louis. Mo-, he
had not requested Mrs. Remus, for
whose Staying here two months ago
Remus is on trial, to give him 5000

the defendant as at that time broke.
Berger accepted his arrest, he said,
as spite work by Charles p. Taft, 2nd.
Hamilton County prosecutor.
Mrs. Elizabeth Felix of Birming-
ham, Ala, formerly of Atlanta, Ga,
who became intimately acquainted
with Mrs. Remus while the de
PENDANTS wife lived near the Federal
penitentiary, which then housed her

agent, who convicted Remus and sent
him to prison.

N U e
IRENE sCHARRER's RECITAL.

The little chamber music auditorium
at the Library of Congress was
packed with an unusually rapt ana
enthusiastic audience yesterday attef'
noon when the graceful young Brush
pianist, Irene SCharrer. made heI
Washington debut in a program of
lovely music charmingly played MISS
Scharrer. as all the artists appearing
in that hall was presented under the
auspices of the Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge Foundation, and Mrs. Cool
idge, the founder, was present in the
audience.
Miss Scharrer opened her program
with three arrangements for piano OF
chorals by Johann Sebastian Bach.
The first two were arranged by wafer
Rummel and the third by Myra Hess.
another noted British woman pianist
with whom Miss SCharrer has been
playing two-piano recitals in New
York and who will herself appear here
later in the season under other
auspices.
A gavotte by William Boyce, ar
ranged by Harold GRAFTON. and Air
Varie." by Johann Mattheson, ar
ranged by Harold Bauer, were other
compositions of early schools of music.
Due to a conflict partially with the
opera matinee presented by the Wash
ington Opera Co. the writer did not
get in to Miss Scharrer's program
until she was playing the moderns,
Debussy's Reflects dams Teau" and
"Poissons dor and Maurice Ravels
"Jeux d'eau." The pianist seems to
have marked skill and sympathy in
interpreting these modern works; the
eXquisitely impressioniStic style
seems TO bring out her best qualities
although in the Chopin, which follow
ed. there was amazing strength and
color in her left hand work. Chopin $
Sonata in 3 Minor, Opus SIS" was
followed as encore with very brief
Prelude and for the last group, six
etudes of the Polish writer's were sub
stituted for the "Ballade in + Minor"
originally listed. A minuet by Pur-
cell was the final encore.
There was no doubt but that the
audience was a united admiring
throng sending even vocal "bravos'
to the charming artist on the stage.

NYE AND NORBECK
GET SENATE POSTS
Frazier and Howell Also
Named to Head Impor-
tant Committees.


Additional Republican irregulars
from Western States were assigned
to important Senate committee chair
manships yesterday by the Republican
committee on committees after the
declaration of truce between Senators
of this group and of the old guard on
the question of Senate organization.
Gerald p. Nye. of North Dakota,
ono of the Youngest Senators both in
point of age and of service, was given
the craftsmanship of the public lands
committee, and Peter Norbeck, of
South Dakota, succeeded to the chair
manship Of the powerful banking and
currency committee.
Lynn J. Frazier, of North Dakota,
was assigned to the Indian affairs
committee, and Robert b. Howell of
Nebraska was elevated to the chair
manship of the claims committee.
Other Irregulars Placed.
Besides these Senators, others Of
the irregulars who have chairman
ships Of important committees are:
Borah of. Idaho, foreign relations.
Norris Of Nebraska. judiciary.
CGuzens Of Michigan, education and
labor.
McNary of Oregon, agriculture.
johnson of California, immigration.
The assignment of Nye. NorbeCk,
Frazier and Howell have yet to be ap'
proved by the Senate. but there is lit
tie doubt that the tons of
the ma jority committee on committees
will be accepted as the Democrats
have disclaimed any intention of seek
ing to take control of the standing
committees.
The chairmanships of the banking
and public lands committees were the
chief ones in controversy before the
committee on committees and the ir-
regulars were able to obtain both
chairmanshipS because Norbeck de-
Clined TO become chairman of the
lands committee and insisted upon
having the banking committee place.
Nye was the last Republican in rank
on the lands committee with Smoot
of Utah, Norbeck. Dale of Vermont
and Oddie of Nevada outranking him.
However, Smoot, Dale and eddie de-
sired other chairmanships. and Nye
was placed in position for the appoint
ment.
The vacancy on the banking commit
tee was caused by the resignation of
Senator Mclean of Connecticut, who
did not care to longer carry the bur
dens of that post. Had NorheCk taken
the lands committee, Edge of New Jer-
sey would have been in line for the
banking craftsmanship. However.
Senator Norbeck appeared in person
before the committee on committees
to ask for that place.
Frazier became chairman of the
Indian committee over Curtis of Kan
sas. the Republican leader, and Nc
Nary of Oregon. who have other i'm
portant assignments to committees.
Howell was in line for the chairman
ship of the claims committee.

A crew of Indians from the Apache

The object of the movement, which
I will be observed in more than two
thousand cities, is to focus the atten-
| tion of the public on the boy as ma
tion's greatest asset, according to
| Walter w. Head, an Omaha banker,
chairman of the general committee in
charge of the affair. The committee
also hopes to interest boys in them
selves and to emphasize fundamentals
in character building.
Mr.. Head is most insistent in stat
ing what Boys Week is not. nWe
are not trying to raise funds" Mr..
Head said. I'VE do not want to ex-
plot the boy and we do not want to
provide him with weeks holiday by
this celebration. We are anxious to
give every youth an equal chance to
work out his destiny without the hand
leap of underprivilege or overprivi-
lege."

lar interest IS being displayed by " local
