VARE AND WILSON
CONTEST DELAYED
Senator Waterman Says
Matter Will Not Be Settled
at Early Date.

The contest brought against Senator
elect Ware of Pennsylvania by William
B. Wilson, his Democratic opponent in
the 1925 election, is not likely to be
settled at an early date, in the opinion
of Senator Waterman, Republican, OF
Colorado, chairman of the subcommittee
handling the question
Returning to Washington yesterday,
Senator Waterman, Republican, of
the contest indicated there was little
likelihood that the Senate would be
able to act on It at this short session.
This would throw the case into the
larger Republican majority, which meets
next year.
Complexities Cited.
The Senator described the long
standing contest as "one of the most
complex in the history Of Congress. "
Ballots in six counties have been re-
counted by the committee, but no tabu-
lation of the results has been COM
pleted.
Senator Waterman declared that
further counting and checking of the
votes in the contest are in prospect.
It may be necessary, he added, to check
over voting lists with registration lists.
Meanwhile the seat Is vacant.
Mr.. Ware, who was elected In 1925,
was denied the oath Of Office when he
presented his credentials a year ago,
pending the outcome of the contest
being waged by the Reed Senate COM
mittee against him on account of ex-
penditures in his primary campaign.
That contest Is still pending but Sem
ator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, the
chairman of the committee, Is expected
to submit report at this session. 1t is
the final session for Senator Reed, who
is retiring on March 4.

AUDITORIUM IS HELD
UNSUITED FOR GUARD
Board Of Trade Committee Makes
Adverse Report on It's Use
as an Armory.

A proposal that the Washington Audi
torium, Nineteenth and E streets. be
leased or purchased by act of Congress
for use as an armory for the District
National Guard has been rejected by the
military and naval affairs committee of
the Board of Trade.
An adverse report on the alternative
proposals was adopted at meeting Of
the committee late yesterday after
months of study. The suggestion for
the purchase was made months ago and
before publicity was given the proposal
experts were set at work surveying the
property and its cost.
The Auditorium was found unsuitable
for armory use without extensive alter
ations, which would make the cost too
high in the opinion of the committee. A
report on the action of the committee
will be sent to members not attending
the session yesterday for Endorsement.
Mai. Gen. Eli A. Helmick, U. S. A., re-
tired, former inspector general Of the
Army, is chairman of the committee.

FAUST CAPTURES
LARGE AUDIENCE
Brilliant Throng Hears Clos
ing Opera of Short Season
in Capital.

The largest and most brilliant audi
ence socially that has attended any
Of the three performances in the short
season Of opera presented here this
week by the American Opera Co. show
ed increased enthusiasm for the produc-
ton of Gounod'S Faust" which closed
the local engagement last night at
Keith'S Theater.
It was this particular Faust" which
was the company'S first presentation
in the National Capital year ago. It
Is one that has won much praise
wherever it has been given. In 1t Mr.
Rosing, the director, develops the psy-
Geological suggestions offered by the
different characters with Skillful aid
from the impreSSionalistic stage settings
and the fantastic costumes designed
by Robert Edmond Jones. Mr.. Rosing
makes even more picturesque use of
his chorus groups and the kermess
scene is especially realistic and effect
i've.
Mr.. st. Leger, the excellent con-
ductor, on his part has emphasized and
given skillful Interpretation to music
In the Gounod score that is rarely
brought out so beautifully This was
especially noticeable in the simplicity
OF singing the theme that Marguerite
sings at her spinning wheel just prior
to the more Snowy "JeWel Song" and
the exquisite chorale that is sung after
the death of Valentine.
There are a few changes from the
production last year. MephiStopheleS is
not so much the evil influence in
churchman's guiSe, but rather is shown
with shadowy attendants. Another
change, less effective, is the arrange
ment Of the cross vision at the very end
Of the opera.
Pictorially and vocally Natalie Hall is
an ultimately satisfying Marguerite, girl
ish and charming with lovely liquid
voice. Brownie PEBBLES is equally well
cast as the worldly Martha and John
Gurney, the youthful interpreter Of Me-
phistopheles, Is excellent. Mr.. Gurney
combines a feline grace with rich deep
voice and well restrained acting. Allan
Burt is an admirable Valentine and
Harold Hansen gives reality to the slen-
der, gentle youth that is Siebel Pat
rick Killikellys lute-like Irish tenor
brings a crystalline quality to the voiced
longings of Faust, the scholarly ancient
who Is loning for youth and it's pleas
ureS.
Clifford Newdall, a robust tenor.
brings excellent vocal equipment to his
role as the impetuouS lover who loves
so deeply that he retains his conscience
and has constant struggle with it even
after he has sold his soul to Mephis-
topheleS. John Uppman made the most
of the small part Of Wagner.
The artistic success of these young
Americans cannot be too much en-
phasized, and Mr.. Rosing and Mr.. st.
Leger both deserve a maximum of
praise for the consistency and thor
oughness of their efforts in building
this company that gives American
audiences operas in the language and
with singers and style Of presentation
that are native to this country. H.F.

PUPIL ENROLMENT
LIMITATION URGED
Chevy Chase Citizens Asso-
citation Acts to Relieve Over
crowded Conditions.

Limitation Of enrolment In public
schools to the number which each
school is designed to accommodate and
renting of additional quarters for sur
plus students was urged last night as
a feasible means of relieving over
crowded conditions In Washington's
public schools by the Chevy Chase Citi-
Zens' Association at its regular meeting
in the E. v. Brown School.
In letter to the Board of Education
outlining the plan OF the new schools
committee of the association, j. Francis
Moore, chairman of this committee,
took particular notice Of conditions at
the e. v. Brown School.
The new plan, it was claimed, not
only would relieve congestion in every
school in the city, but would result in
such confusion and dissatisfaction that
Congress would eventually be brought
to realization of the pressing needs of
WaShington's schools.
Congestion Is Cited,
The E. v. Brown School has an en-
rollment Of more than 1,100 children
in a structure normally intended to
accommodate bit 725. It was suggest
ed that the School Board prohibit the
enrolment of more than the normal
number and to rent quarters nearby
for the instruction of the surplus. This,
it was said, could be done at much
less expense and, though lacking in de-
Girable features, would at least pro-
vide a desk for each student. 1t was
said that relief had been promised, but
in the meantime overcrowding con-
tinueS preventing proper and complete
odlINQfinr1 fHnCa Il
ing, and also violating the ordinary
rules for health and sanitation.
Had Congress and the Budget Bureau!
maintained the proposed annual aver
age Of appropriating $20,000,000 fer
carrying out the provisions of the five
year school building program t!:1 .vln-
pleted appropriations would now rep
resent 30 per cent of the total amount
but instead, it was shown, only about
SO per cent had been attained. Failure
to maintain the pace Wat attributed as
one cause for conditions in this school
TOW. TIA f'Ts-year program has turned
INTO g. :@Zht or nine year program, it
waS S-5d.
rfeiAberS of the committee indicated
-SSI2t they would not be content with
STle plans they had suggested, but, while
awaiting the slow process of congress
sional action for permanent relief, rent
ed quarters would be accepted. The
request, along with the limitation OF
pupils in the E. V. Brown School, also
urged an eight-room building on Broad
Branch road and junior high school
on the Repn site.
<acedTftions Adopted.
H 2. Schreiber, chairman of the
safety committee, said a survey had
been made of traffic conditions along
Connecticut avenue, and offered reso-
lutions, which were adopted, supporting
a petition of merchants asking that a
one-hour parking limit be established
on the avenue in the Chevy Chase busi-
ness district.
Resolutions presented by Lewis Rad
cliffe and adopted recorded the dis
approval of the association in the build
ing within its environs of homes OF
construction and architecture inferior
to those representative of the section
and urging all builders and those max
am loans on homes to discourage the

practice. 1t was recommended that
all plans for homes receive the ap-
proval of the American Institute of
Architects.
The Commissioners will be requested
to lay sidewalks on Thirty-third street
from Rittenhouse to Oliver street and
to reSurface Nevada avenue from Rit-
tenhouse to Mckinley and Patterson
street from Chevy Chase parkway to

tiers also are requested for Military

a spell of training that will take him
into several big matches this summer

Carter meeting Bud Taylor at the

ting this match in some time late in

the King match would not be put on
