M U SIC
CONTRALTO, VIOLINIST AND
PIANIST.


Anne Yago McGuffey, who as Anne
Yago, contralto, appeared In Washing
ton FIRST several seasons ago In light
opera productions, has returned pro-
fessionally to the National Capital in
the less familiar role Of concert artist.
Mrs. McGuffey Is practically member
Of local music circles now, living as
she does in nearby Falls Church, Va,
since her marriage. The singer ap-
peared as principal artist on the pro-
gram given before the Friday Morning
Music Club yesterday. She proved as
fine and sensitive an artist in the more
dignified and trying role Of concert
work as in the field Of light opera. She
brought a sparkling personality and
poise as well as sympathetic interpre-
tation TO her songs. Her opening num-
Der was the aria "Ahl Mon Fills" from
Meyerbeer's lie Prophete," which she
gave with finish and style. In her
group of incorporate numbers she VAS
at her best in Eric VOLTS Itch Furchte
NIGHT Gespenster" and the more Somber
Retreat" Of Frank LaForge. Both
songs showed the rich, dark mellow
ness Of her voice quality and grasp Of
Interpretation that was essentially dra-
matte, yet always in good taste for the
concert platform. Her encore was the
LIlOoI popular I'LL IIOil oAACoo O0AhASAA'
John Marville, well known baritone, was
an unusually sympathetic accompanist.
Another newcomer to concert pro-
grams here this season, Mabelle New
Williams, gave a group OF violin selec-
tons. She plays with considerable sense
Of authority and evident absorption In
her art. She was accompanied by
Beulah Beverley Chambers, long estab-
hshed here as pianist.
Minna Niemann, popular member
Of the younger group OF planists Of
washington, showed her usual com
msnd of musicianship and brilliant
technicalities In her art in a group OF
three solos. There was feeling IN her
reading of the MendelsSohn-Liszt ION
Wings Of Song" without being too
sentimental, and her rendition OF
Dohnanyi's "Capriccio in F Minor" was
enjoyable. She gave piano arrange
ment Of Richard Strauss "Staendchen'
as her encore. H. F.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW CASTLE, Pa, March 22.-Death
in the electric chair today loomed
ahead as the final grim chapter in the
life of Irene Schroeder, whose 81 years
have encompaSsed hold-ups and gun
battles which resulted fatally for two
men.
Convicted last night Of flrst-degree
murder for the Staying OF Pennsylvania
highway patrolE1an, Mrs. Schroeder, who
gave up waiting on tables in Wheeling,
w. Va, restaurant to become bandit
for the thrill" it gave her, today sat
in her cell, Indifferent to efforts Of her
counsel in taking new steps to save her
life.
New Trial to BE Asked.
Monday her attorneys will 60 into
court with q motion for new trial.
They have announced they may carry
their battle to the State Supreme Court.
After celebrating less than three hours
the jury found Mrs. Schroeder guilty Of
killing Corpl. Brady Paul near New
Castle last December 81, and the verdict
carried no recommendations Of mercy.
Paul was slain when he and Pvt.
Ernest Moore halted an automobile TO
question the occupants regarding store
hold-up at Butler, Pa. Mrs. Schroeder,
her companion in crime, w. Glenn
Dague, Wheeling automobile salesman,
and her brother, Tom Crawford, replied
with gunflre.
Pleads Impulse to Rob.
The hold-up was but one Of many
which Mrs. Schroeder and Dague,
awaiting trial for murder in the same
case, had perpetrated In Ohio, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania. On the
witness stand MRS. Schroeder, who de-
serted her husband shortly after the
birth of her son, Donnie, 4, talked freely
Of the hold-ups.
1t was a plea of IAN impulse to rob"
that her counsel had placed before the
jury. The plea was assailed by State
witnesses, who said an impulse was not
recognized form Of insanity.

way in which she directed the actors,
but for the astute Characterization size
gave to the enigmatical and turbulent
queen.
George T. Oden assumed the role of
the British captain who has the honor
of considerable favor from the queen
for a brief and amusing few moments.
He seemed at his best when, tied hand
and foot, he lay PROSTATE before her
majesty and was forced to submit to
the torture of rib-tickling-one of Mr..
Shaw's splendid bits Of satiric tonlfool-
cry. AS the inebriated Patiomkin--his-
tory's Potemkin-H. r. Baukhage came
dangerously near stealing" the acting
honors, certainly his "key-hole" phil
osophy and his oft repeated threats to
go by-by" contributed vastly to the
evenings meriment. Anne Ives as the
fiancee of the "Museum-Piece" Brit
ish captain did very nicely in small
part, and others who did the same
were Dorothea Lewis, Helen Burton,
Mildred Browne, 10 Bourne-and par
ticularly A. e. Dubber as the queens
chamberlin.
Mention should be made OF the
scenery, which although simple, included
some rare and artistic pieces OF furni-
ture. Selections on the organ during
the entre-acts were also much appre-
clated by the audience which seemed TO
enjoy itself immensely throughout

HUSTON AS LEADER
PROBLEM TO PARTY
G. o. P. Executive Committee
Expected to Discuss Han
ding of Funds.
By the Associated Press.


A meeting of the executive committee
of the Republican national committee
to be called soon is expected to furnish
an opportunity for discussion OF the
activities OF Chairman Claudius Huston
in using funds collected for the Tennes-
see River Improvement Association in
stock market transactions.
A growing reStleSsneSS in Republican
ranks caused by HuSton's announced
intention of sticking to his post as ma
tional party chairman Is apparent, par
ticularly with the biennial congressional
election not many months distant.
This may find an expression In con-
ferences with Republican congressional
leaders, which President Hoover is plan
ming for the next few days and 1t Is
expected, too, that 1t will be rejected In
the coming meeting Of the executive
committee.
Expected to Preside.
This session Is to be called for the
purpose of selecting a successor for
Representative Franklin Fort of New
Jersey, who resigned several months
ago as secretary of the national COM
mittee. Huston Is expected to preside,
and thus will be enabled to discuss the
Speculation over the possibility Of
HuSton's resignation continued today
and the belief persists that ultimately
he will reverse his decision and with
draw from the national Craftsmanship.
Some Republican leaders have express
ed the view that he should separate
himself from the party, at least during
the remainder of the investigation OF
the Senate lobby committee, which dis
closed his stock market activities and
has not yet completed its inquiry.
The national executive committee
nominally selects the national chairman,
although its action is generally a con-
flrmation of the selection Of the PreSi-
dent. This was true in the election OF
Huston and his predecessor, DR.. Hubert
Work.
Watson Is Mentioned.
Already there is some discussion Of
who HuSton'S successor might be. Sen
ator Watson, the Republican leader, ID
prominently mentioned, as is also SEN
ator Moses Of New Hampshire and Wal
ter Newton, the Presidents executive
secretary.
Testimony before the lobby committee
disclosed that Huston collected $50, 100
from the Union Carbide Co. for the
Tennessee River Improvement ASSocia-
ton, which was interested in Muscle
Shoals legislation. This money, received
in two checks, was deposited with a
New York brokerage firm and used par
tally to cover a marginal stock market
account. It also developed that at the
time Of the deposit there was an indebt-
edneSS Of 1881 in Huston's account at
the brokerage house.
