SPICY PLAY OF
ANCIENT GREECE
BROADWAY HIT
None of Bold Humor OF
1000 Years Ago Left
Out Of DiaIOq.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, June 6.-"Lysis-
trata," jovial and somewhat
slapstick comedy by Aristophanes, Of
ancient Athens, settled itself today
for what appeared to be long run
on Broadway, after leaving behind
the embattled censors of Philadel-
phia and received the enthusiastic
"bravos" of a New York audience.
The ancient comedy, presented in
a modern setting by Gilbert Seldes,
found shelter and enthusiastic hos
pitality at its premiere here Thurs
day night
None of its bold humor over the
marital difficulties Of the women OF
Athens, arising from their efforts to
bring about peace by GOODNESS to
their warrior husbands was left out.
New York, recently concerned
with alleged indecent performances,
found itself host to a play 1000
years old, and still running, which
does not mince words.
Broadway apparently enjoyed it in
the same spirit as the ancient
Athenians, who never saw a movie
and wouldn't have known what to
do with a subway if they had had
one.

In Iowa; Clue Aids Police

Exclusive announcement by The
Washington Times that Olga

ing in Fredericksburg, Va, when
they actually were being sought
by police for questioning, was q
clean newspaper scoop.
It came through the alertneSS
Of The Washington Times Fred.
erickSburg correspondent, John T.
Goodrich, who by the merest
chance happened to be in the
telegraph office at FrederickS
burg when Miss Skinner sent a
wire, relating to the murder, to
her brother in Iowa.
The telegram warned her
brother, F. M. Skinner, of More.

get into contact with Hugh
Sperry and tell him not to tip
them off "n he was found"
Judge Frederick w. Coleman, Of
Fredericksburg, and Sheriff H. c.
Fields, of Arlington county, re-
garded it as an admission that
Olga Skinner and Mildred Sperry,
and their brothers knew more of
the murder Of Mary Baker than
they had admitted.
On Tuesday in Fredericksburg
car with Washington license
plates was standing in front of a
telegraph office when a Times
man turned in to send a message
Inside he wrote a short message
hurriedly, while, a girl near him
handed the telegraph operator a
card and asked him to make a
message of it. The operator
copied the message on a regular
blank form and the girl red AeSted
him read it back to her. The
Times man could not help hear

knew that it was worth remem

picked up the card on which the
original message was written. It
said:
"F. M. Skinner, MoreIand,

has been unable thus far, how
ever, to obtain assurance that the
Senate can act before June /, the
scheduled date Of adjournment.
Opposition COnjectured
Just how much opposition there
will be to the treaty is conjectural
at this time.
Senate leaders, including Sen
ator Borah (R) of Idaho, have
informed Mr.. Hoover they do not
think there will be serious oppo-
sition provided the text, when re-
ceived here, bears out the advance
notices Of its contents cabled
from London. There will be some
criticism, they say, but unless
close examination Of the text dis
closes something not hitherto re-
vealed in the cabled advices, they
do not anticipate any extended
battle.
Senator Hale CR) Of Maine,
chairman Of the Senate Naval
Committee, however, is going to
insist upon hearings on the treaty
in order to give members of the
general board an opportunity to
express their opinion about it's
effect on the American Navy. :
May Delay Action
These hearings probably would
consume some Unexpectedly too
much to permit ratification in
the short period between its sub.
mission and the scheduled ad.
journment date.
One part of the treaty that is
certain to come in for extended
criticism by the big navy
group is that which specifies that
the United States shall not com
plete more than IS eight-inch-gun
cruisers before 1895.
The treaty itself allocates to
the United States Is cruisers of
the eight-inch-gun type, as against
Britain's IS. American preponder.
ance in this type is offset by
Britain's superiority in the six
inch-gun class.
The Senate critics are already
saying that the clause limiting
the American Navy to IS of the
larger cruisers up to 1885 is I'm.
fair, in that it insures British
cruiser superiority until that time
While parity would exist in the
large cruisers, it would not in
the small cruisers. The "big
navy" group obviously fear that
by 1885 some method will be
found for shelving again the con.
struction of three eight-inch gun
cruisers tn which the Navy is en-
titled under the yardstick agree
nent worked out at London.

Gephart Statement Does Not Represent
Associations Opinion, They Say.
TACOMA, Wash, September Is tH9.--
Backers of Harold Bromleys Japan 20
Tacoma fight expressed amazement
last night at the statement in Seattle
of Valentine Gephart. technical director
of the National Aeronautic Association
in this section, in which he said that
further such attempts would not be
sanctioned until satisfactory evidence is
presented of the reason for Bromley's
turning back and abandoning the flight
I'm view of the fact that absolutely
no information has come from Bromley
direct, 1t seems that MIR. Gephart's
statement is premature, to say the
least" said Guy Kelley, legal adviser Of
the flight committee.
Until such time as we have direct
word from Bromley it strikes us that
the fair thing for the association which
he represents to do would be to with
hold judgment.
ct will be remembered that Dieu-
donne Coste, the French flyer now being
idoliZed for his air voyage from France
to New York, made one unsuccessful
start in which he went far out to sea
and then returned because he met
wall of wind May we not wait, in all
fairness, for Bromley's explanation?
THE sentiment of Mr. Gephart's
statement cannot be taken as indicative
of the spirit of the organization which
he represents"
