Garner Presses Point

Washington, April LP)--In spite
 of Senator Shoots decision to make
 immediate announcement of the
 rates agreed on by the senate-house tariff conference, Representative Garner, the democratic leader, be- lieves the battle for publicity is not completely won, and he intends to carry it farther.
 He now intends to speak in the
 house every day or so, and describe the circumstances leading to the agreements Smoot announces, but
 that he says, is a question of ob-
 taining recognition from the presid-
 ing officer.
 This story of publicity isn't oyer," he said today, it is not always pos siblc to get recognition on the floor
 of the house whenever it is want ed. If I can. however, every day or
 so, l intend 10 speak for few min utes after the morning session of the conference so the public can
 have picture of what is going on."
 Wont Speaker Longworth recog- nize you as the democratic leader whenever you dcsire?" he was ask
 cd.
 Says "Nick" Good Speaker "Well, Nick is right good speak
 er-." He paused in his answer.
 Garner and Longworth are close personal friends.
 The democratic leader has long been arguing that the rates agreed on in conference should be made
 known at once. He said that Shoot s
 action, which reversed an arrange ment approved by the committee,
 means that for the first time in a
 century the decisions of q tariff con-

AMERICAN SINGERS
PRESENT 'YOLANDA'
Impressive Final Act Found
Most Pleasing Feature of
Opera in English.

"Yolanda Of Cyprus, an opera written
and acted by Americans for an Ameri-
can audience, was given first presenta-
ton at the National Capital last night
at Polls Theater. The performance
proved that this work is charming thea
ter material, admirably short, and with
stupendously impressive final act.
Surely the composer, Chicago music
teacher, Clarence L0omiS, viSualized and
was lyrically inspired by the drama of
that last act. This must have been
written first and then built UP to, for it
has truly glorious and convincing music
as well as dramatic action. With the
rich, restrained values of the churchly
setting designed by Robert Edmond
Jones; with the best of the musical
score, both vocally and orchestrally;
Shakespeare In the combined simplicity
and power Of its tragic climax, the
young American singers rose to the in
spiration of all these things.
Has Medieval Setting.
"Yolanda of Cyprus" is a medieval
story of Italy In the days when warriors
of that land were constantly on the alert
for skirmiShes with the Saracens. In
this tale, originally written as a poetic
drama by Gale Young Rice, the dramatic
line is simple and clear with few COM
plications. Perhaps that is why the
first three acts left something to be de-
sired in dramatic or musical effective
ness. They seemed to build up so slow
ly to the real point of the story. The
fair Yolanda discovered her guardian,
mother of her lover, Amaury, Queen
Berengere. in tryst with Camarin. a
baron of Paphos.
Yolanda's rival for the favor of
Amaury. Vittia Pisani, also discovers
the affair. Amaury suspects Yolanda
is not true to him because she is so
distract Vittia has asked her to give
up Amaury as the price of silence re-
garding Berengere's amour. In the
second act the inevitable happens. The
king is told of his wife's affair, and
Yolanda makes it appear that it is she
instead Of the queen who is the beloved
OF Camarin. In. the fourth act Yo-

queen then is reported to have died
from sheer fear.
In the last act the first scene is bv
the bier of the queen. Lovely chanted
music is heard offstage. There is a bit
of burlesque business by a couple of
supposed religious attendants. Their
antics tend to arouse too much mirth,

from her deathlike lethargy long enough

TREASURES OF ANCIENT CHURCH
REVEALED IN CURATOR S DEATH
Relics Not Previously Dis
played Placed on Public
View at National Museum.
Articles Were Collected by
Dr.. Emmanuel CaSonoWicz,
35 Years Head of Gallery.
BY THOMAS R. HENRY.

A treasure trove of rare articles and
curiosities of worship and church his
tory has been revealed in the National
Museum through the catalogue of the
comparative religions collection pre-
pared before his death by DR.. Emmanuel
Casanowicz, curator for IS years and
one Of the worlds foremost authorities
on the subject.
The existence of many of these has
not been suspected by the public, as
those which we're not strictly illustrative
of religious practices were not dis
played.
Some of the most unusual were gath
cred in the Philippine Islands during
the early days of American occupancy.
Among these are two strange wooden
statues of Christ. Long curled locks
are held in place by crowns of thorns
of gilded brass and behind the head
rises cruciform halo of the same ma
terial. In the hands and feet are the
holes of the nails and on the left side
of the chest is the hole caused by the
spear.
Engraving on Shell.
Another rare bit of artistry is an en-
craving of the Ascension on the shell
of a pearl oyster, the central scene sur
rounded by IL medallionS representing
St Peter with the keys, st. Paul with
the sword Of st. Matthew with the pick,
st. James the Lesser with. the club
ST. John with the chalice, st. James
the Elder with pilgrims staff, st. Philip
with the small cross, st. Bartholomew
with book and knife, st. Andrew with
his cross, st. Thomas with the archi-
tsct's square, st. Matthias with the ak
and st. Simon with the saw. The
whole is s by 6 inches.
A notable article of the Philippine
collection is print of the supposed
miraculous image of the Holy Child of
Cebu, reputed to have been found on
the shore of the island of Cebu in 1865
which, when exposed to view of the
populace, has the honors of a field
marshal accorded it.
OF especial value is the collection of
rosaries. gathered from all over the
world. Among these is a lesser Domi-
nican rosary of five decades made of
seeds of Virginia fringe tree. 1t is
strung on a cross of olive wood from
Mount Olive, bound in Japanese silver.
