A bill to provide for the appointment

to Chairman Capper Of the Senate Dis

The principal difficulty which has
been encountered is not with the law
itself, but with the opportunity of get

the District of Columbia has 81 cases

another the court has been unable 10

AT the same time the Commissioners
sent a report TO Congress on the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
missions bill providing for a change in
the procedure of condemnation of land
for the use of the Federal Government
and urged that the District be not in
cluded in this bill. "Condemnations of
land for the purposes of the District of
Columbia are much simpler and require
a much simpler procedure than con-
demnation of land for Federal pur-
poses" the Commissioners declared.
The procedure under the present law
to acquire land for District of Columbia
purposes. and the law itself, has been
construed by our courts and has been
believed generally satisfactory for Dis

'.MikadO'' Retains
Its British
Manner

Though a japanese prima donna,
Hanna Shimozumi has sung Yum
Yum in Gilbert and Sullivan's
''The MilSado'' in New York, and
the operett9 has been given in
Japan. the lord chamberlain in
England in 1907 caused such ado
BY banning 1.-THE Milado" in Lon
duction of the opera, and Win
Fushni was expected there for a
visit. Though the scenes and the
costumes OF THE Mikado" are
Japanese, the work is thoroughly
British. Gilbert engaged Iapa-
mese dancer and a tea maid of
Japan to assist in the first pro-
duction Of thha opera, and VIM
throp Ames has been assisted by
Michio Ito in the dance numbers
and other native details in his pro-
duction.
Still these are the trappings and
the decorations: the spirit Of THE
Mikado. ever will be British.
a. III. Goodwin in his book, Gil
bert and Sullivan" says that they
both understood that the words
and the music to which the MI
kado enters were automatically
japanese. Not until later did they
iiscover-or so the story goes
that In its own land the song
they had used had q most un-
eavory pedigree.
TO substantiate this statement,
Goodwin refers TO Shelford Walsl1's

opera to achieve japanese effect
In music and words and thus

probably do, steal into regal pre-
cincfs. As for the words, an in

tives has not produced a transla.
