Mrs Eva Lovette, who was entirely
unaware that her promising young
pupil, with the full tenor voice, had
just completed pouring water and
passing butter and bread to guests at
the hotel.
Neither did friends, in whose beauti-
full homes he appeared in immaculate
evening dress and sang to their delight
the songs of Latin America, realize
that the young gentleman, with such
charming manners, hid beneath his
smile, the fatigue of hours of dreary
drudgery.
Not until a few days ago, when a
friend of de Arango'S was dining at the
Lafayette was the secret known. In
few days, he will leave Washington
to continue his vocal studies in New
York, and never again does he ex-
pect to take up "the hotel business. t"
From his salary as hotel boy, enough
has been saved to carry him along
until the necessary course of vocal
studies will be completed to justify his
going on the concert stage.
The young waiter musician will sing
a farewell concert at the Washing
ton Club this evening, when it is ex-
pected that many of his friends
throughout the city will gather to ap-
plaude the program of Latin American
music, as well as his courage.

FASCIST FACES
TREASON BILL
Hitler, Head of German
Party, Charged With
Government Attack

LEIPSIC, Bavaria, Sept. 24-F1E
Accused Of treason, Adolf Hitler.
leader OF the German fascist party.
was under subpoena today to testify
in the trial or three young Reich
swehr lieutenants regarding the
beliefs and policies Of his party.
1t was revealed III court, at the
time the subpoena was sought by
DR.. Frank, attorney for the defense
OF the three men, who are charged
with high treason, that Hitler is be-
ing charged with high treason also.
Details Of charges against Hitler,
who Is an Austrian although die
tator In the second strongest party
III the newly elected Reichstag. were
not disclosed. but the presiding
judge would not hear OF the sub
poena until informed by the states
attorney, as the defense counsel
commended. that such a serious
charge was being lodged against
him.
1t was expected he would appear
tomorrow. the date set in the sub
pOena. Defense counsel indicated
that he would be asked to state
whether the fascist policy had not
changed since 1923, year Of the
Munich beer cellar Putsch. This
may involve acknowledgement or
denial that he would have his party
overthrow the constitution by un-
constitutional means.
The three lieutenants, Richard
Scheringer. Hans Ludien, and Hans
Friedrich Wendell used yesterdays
appearances in court as opportuni-
thy to expound their theories Of ir-
responsibility of the past German
governments.
we could have no confidence In
a government which is permanent
" pacifist and neglects the true in
treSs Of the army, which exists to
fight for the nation" their spokes-
ma told the court.
They are charged with implan-
tation of fascist cells in the Ger
man army with the intention Of
overthrowing the constitution.
First mention OF the charges
against Hitler came Yesterday af-
ternoon in the midst Of the trial
of the three officers on charges OF
high treason. The defense attor-
ney. DR.. Frank. asked that Hitler
b subpoenaed 10 testify and pos
Sibly to e%xonerate the accused Of
ficers. He declared:
Behind the charge against these
Reichswehr officers looms like a
storm the menace that the national
socialists are planning to overthrow
the government or the constitution
and that the accused were merely
tools used by the party to under
mine the R-lchswehr."
