 quality and an exceptionally good
 range, pleasing 10 the ear and per

 Mrs. Solomon showed that she was
 just as much at home in operatic
 music as in the lighter type. Her
 first offering, light selection,
 Thank God for a Garden" by Del Riego. was followed by a difficult { Donaudy in which she showed that she Is capable of running up and down the scale with ease and per feet equanimlty. In the selection "Knowest Thou That Fair Land" from Mignon, by Thomas. the singer demonstrated that she is also capa-
 ble of handling difficult passages that require quick changes of tone.
 The rendition of this song was ex- cellent and the singer was rewarded
 with thunderous applause.

CHICAGO MUST END
 PARTIES AT 1 A. M.
Night Life CurieW Ordered by Police

l. Chicago. May II Pl-Commis- ..sioner Of Police Michael Hughes has ~iecreed a curfew on the city's night life at a. m.
 Since his return Wednesday from 8 vacation in Missouri, "Go-G et- Elm Mike" has issued ultimatums and orders with gatling pun rapidity,
 His first was to clean up gambling and vice conditions, then followed instructions to clamp on the lid tight at l a. m.
 Unless his orders were obeyed, he told deputy commissioners, they would face charges before the po- lice trial board.
 His specific orders were:
 Enforce the l a. n. closing law for pool rooms and soft drinking parlors.
 Halt all rum running vehicles and turn liquor and prisoners over to the government authorities,
 'Jan all racketeers op sight and keep jailing them as frequently as they are released.
 Stop all open gambling"
 Those are your instructions" said the commissioner, 'and they can't be misunderstood, See that they are followed 10 the letter. There will be no buck passing to the cap- tains or subordinates. It is up to you to see that these orders are follow ed. If they aren't, you go before the board"
 Reports that Commissioner Hughes would resign have been de- nied repeatedly.
 He told subordinates the results of the recent primary election indicated the voters wanted reform.
 Well give them reform" he said. Close everything. Make a house to house canvass in the hunt for beer flats. Watch for slot machines and any other form of gambling. We are going to make this town so tight it squeaks."
 All beer flats. disorderly houses and gambling houses also were or dered closed permanently.
 The city licensing laws which re- quire all cabarets, night clubs. and ,.eoft drink parlors to close one hour after midnight, have not been en- forced since the World War, This ordinance, the commissioner said, gave police a powerful weapon in the drive against underworld char acters, who have been accustomed to meeting in such places during early morning hours
 Grimes of violence are already pretty well in hand" he said, "and i' is the places where low characters meet and carry on affairs of evil DOT tent that We are after now" : Frank J. Loesch, president Of the Chicago crime commission, has been ordered 10 appear before six judges '.of the circuit and superior courts |. Monday and explain what he meant recently, when he charged three criminal court judges with lanlency toward criminals.
 The six judges. selected hv their bench colleagues. will sit en ganc. as members of court, unparalleled in Cook county jurisprudence. Judge Thomas Taylor will preside.
 Loesch said he would be pleased to appear and assist the court 'in tn- vestigating this bad criminal condi- .ion. l expect to produce the records of the commission to support each of the charges against Judge Stanley Kla 6wski, Emanuel Eller and Otto Kerner. The commission is ready and anxious 10 produce full proof ot the state Of affairs in the criminal court"

CREW RELATES STORY, WRECK
 OF SCHOONER
Nine Men of Alaska, Lost on Kodiak Island, on
 Admiral Watson

Enroute to their homes in Ket- chikan and Seattle. nine men of the crew of the Alaska, ill-fated, s4-foot halibut schooner of Capt. Conrad Petersen, which was wrecked on the southeast coast of Kodiak Island early in the morning of February 20, passed through here Saturday night on the steamer Admiral Watson.
 According to the story told by the men. they were battling their way through a heavy storm on the night of February 19 In their opinion the compass was damaged several hours before they struck About o'clock on the morning of February 20, travelling by com pass in heavy seas and darkness. the Alaska went on the rocks.
 All hands immediately took to the life-boats, and no time was spent in saving personal belong ings or valuables. Until daylight the men rowed to keep their boats off the rocks and to hunt for shel- ter and by mid-morning the storm had quieted somewhat. Later the boats reached Kaguyuk Bay. about twenty miles distant Fortune favored those on board during the minutes after the Alaska struck and during the hours of rowing in the storm, for no lives were lost and none of the men suffered seriously, they reported.
 The same day they reached Kaguyuk Bay part of the men took off in one of the boats for Port Hebron, whaling station, and from there radio was sent to Kodiak The Olive, small gas boat, was sent out and took the men to Kodiak.
 All were enthusiastic in their praise of Capt. Petersen and his handling of the situation, of the fine treatment they received at Kaguyuk Bay from the natives who sheltered and fed them, of the Seward Trading Company where they were staked, and of Capt. c. C. Graham and the off cers of the Admiral Watson, wh, made things pleasant for them on their trip from Kodiak.
 Capt. Petersen remained in Ko- diak and will not come south un- til he has completed arrange ments with the insurance com pany, and he may attempt to sal wage as much as possible from the wreckage.
 The Alaska was valued at $30,- 900, crew members said, but was insured for only one-half of that amount. She was built in 1913 and equipped with a 135 horse power engine. Her home port is Seattle.
 Those of the crew who are on the Admiral Watson bound for Seattle are: John Jorgensen, An drew Jorgensen, George Andre sen, M H. Johnson and Fred Ol- sen; for Ketchikan: Knute Nil son, Fred Simonsen. Hagen Mathe- son and N. A. Nelson.
