not time for d conference.
The Commissioners had earnestly
requested the enactment Of this
measure to allow them to settle tho
hundreds of suits which have arisen
from enforcement OF the Borland

of Justice IN order to speed UP the

sought by local authorities for
years passed the Senate but did
not get through the House. The

which has also been sought for
years suffered similar fate.
On OF the most disappointing
failures from local standpoint was
the Stalker bill to establish NUM-

bill WIS not enacted by either house.
Among the other important local
bills which failed were the follow.
ing: The bill raising salaries of

women's bill: the bathing beach bill;
the bin TO provide free text books
Tor high school Students; the meas

Two others--the resolution to ap-
prove the traction merger and the

in Southwest Washington failed to
come up for balloting in one or
both houses because Of opposition

 In every depa rtment of the thea tricai art Countess Maritza" fulfills, and exceeds. expectations. The prin- ctpals can sing. the comedy is whole 'ome and amusing. the dancing is of the best. the chorus is attractive and capable and the stage setting are a delight to the eye. The operetta combines everything of the best in piie Of the fact that it is not pro- Gucad by the original New York company.
 The story concerns Count Tassilo lnrody, who squanders his estate and accepts an appointment as man. ager Of Countess Maritza's extensive '''''i'ieS' ltNlNASIS iit llhd lpuH I't Il duel in defense of her name al though she was not aware of his identity. The Countess falls in love Vith her oyerseer but is led to be- liove. by reading a double meaning into a note he has written 10 his sister. that he is a fortune hunter. Eventually she learns that he is q lobleman whose love is sincere.
 Leonard Ceeley and Gladys Bay- ter are an ideal pair for thc leading noles. Ceeloy can sing well and Mss l'aNter rot only has an excellent voice but charming personality ;nd stage presence. Odette Myrtle. of the original company, is q rcvela- lion. combining an ability 10 sing, 'iance and play a violin with dra- lnatic talent which brings her sharp ly to the foreground. The comedy burden is carried effectively by Rob 'rt Greig. George Dobbs and Ralph Riggs. Marjorie Peterson is a charln- ing little lass who can use her eyes ond her feet with hypnotizing re- suit. The dancing by Mir. Dobbs, Miss Peterson and Mr. Riggs was applauded 10 the echo.
 Countess Maritza" is rich in col CT, the scene being laid in the Balkans with a gay gypsy atmos- phere introduced. Tho settings are by Watson Barratt and the staging by J. C.

 Countess Maritza" will be repeat ed at evening performances today md tomorrow with a matinee as well tomorrow.
