GUARDS ABSOLVED
OF BEATING CHARGE
Two at Lorton Were Accused
of Torturing Prisoner,
Aged 20.

Two investigations conducted inde-
pendently have absolved the guards at
the District Reformatory at Lorton of
accusations Of beating and torturing
Archibald Lyles, 20 years old, prisoner
convicted of burglary. One was made
by Paul l.. Kirby, assistant director Of
public welfare. The second was made
by Z. Z. budding, president Of the Pris-
oners' Relief Society.
Complaint had been made by the
youths mothey to the Department OF
Justice. the Board of Public Welfare,
the Prisoners Relief Society and to q
Washington newspaper that when she
went to see her son last Sunday he bore
evidences of cruel treatment In the
shape Of black eye, a damaged nose
and q bruise on his side, apparently
made by O shoe.
Report Being Prepared.
Mr.. Kirby is writing his report on the
subject. 1t IL not yet ready. He stated
orally to George s. Wilson, director of
public welfare, that the boy was bruised
az described, but that his injuries had
been received In foot ball game the
previous week, when he was taken TO the
prison infirmary almost unconscious.
The records Of the infirmary show the
treatment received by the prisoner was
for his injuries.
Mrs. Lyles made the claim, Mr.. VIII
son said, that the injuries had been re-
ceived at the hands of three guards,
Friday. Mr.. Kirby reported that Lyles
and two other youths, Fred Winker
and Joseph De Mar, had engaged In q
tussle with two guards on Friday. The
guards suspected the trio of planning
an escape and ordered them into the
building. The youths refused to move
and the guards were compelled to drag
them in. At no time were any blows
struck, nor was any of the prisoners
kicked, Mr.. Kirby reported.
Denies Stringing Up Man.
Mrs. .Lyles also charged that her
son and his companions were strung
up with their hands above their heads
as punishment for the alleged plan to
escape. Mr.. Wilson said that this had
not been done and that such punish
ment Is never allowed at the reforma-
tory. The youths were put into cells
as punishment for refusing to obey
the orders of the guards, but nothing
further was done to them.
The report of budding gave no de-
tails, but stated that he had made an
Independent investigation and had
come to the conclusion that Lyles had
been fairly treated and that there was
no basis for any complaint on his part
Lyles broke into print recently when
he escaped from Lorton to pay q visit
to his mother who was sick.

M u SIC
PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA.


TINE opening of the symphonic sea-
son last night at Constitution
Hall was notable for number of
L things, including the fact that
Leopold Stokowski conducted the
all Russian program with customary
skill, that the concert attracted large
and, at times, wonderstruck audience,
and that-for the first time-as the
records show here, the famous conductor
led his men with the help Of q score.
This latter more or less phenomenon
was not true of the entire program, for
Mr.. Stokowski, at the new beginning
hour OF S:4S, appeared on the stage,
scarcely waited for the applause to die
down, and began the Rimski-Korsakow
"Scheherazade," with the usual fervor,
command and scorelessness that char
acterize his direction. This first part,
then, with its initial fortissirno passage,
followed by the lyric strains OF the lone
violin and the harp that makes the
almost perfect background, was handled
by Stokowski reverently and yet strik-
ingly. 1t was only in the last half, when
the weird, pagan strains Of the Stra-
whisky lie Sacre du Printemps" mani
tested themselves, that the maestro was
discovered with the pages Of score
before him.
Those who are inclined TO condemn
this work for the brutality of some Of
its "dissonances'-and there seemed to
be many among the audience-perhaps
felt that this bizarre work Is too much
for any leader. Those, however, who
have overcome the feeling almost Of
fear that comes with this titanic ex-
position of the sacred ritual Of worship
by primitive man must have wondered
at the superb leadership that Mr.. Sto-
kowski demonstrated through all this,
as also the phenomenal response from
the musicians. The call and response,
so to speak, from leader to men, was
never demonstrated with more lucid
vehemence. The continual effects OF
grotesqueness that this music inspires,
interSpersed with sudden and breathless
pauses, and the unblennished perfection
with which the instruments swept into
these precipitous silences, was certainly
something to marvel at. Although, as
was evident, this work Of Strawinskys
is not overfamiliar and also not espe-
cialiy revered, anything that Mr.. Sto-
kowski puts his hand to Is necessarily
interesting. And so 1t seemed last night.
as though that part Of the assembly
that was not in sympathy with the tonal
effects of this Rite Of Spring" were at
least struck with the powers OF the con-
ductor's generalship, and that those who
found Strawinskys work satisfying had
an unalloyed evening of contentment.
Unfortunately not the majority.
A large audience-espe large for
election night-iistened breathlessly TO
the first part, and trifie more breath
lessly to the second, and seemed to be
more than anxious to have Mr.. Sto-
kowsky and his magnificent orchestra
return as soon as possible-with or
without Strawinsky. z. de 8. M.

ment Plans Declares Work

The District Commissioners today dis
patched letter to Col. Arthur Woods
Of President Hoover's Emergency EN-
ployment Committee assuring him. of
the fullest possible cooperation with
hi efforts to keep employment up to
normal standards during the coming
Winter on the part of city heads
The city heads advised Col. Woods
that they are making every effort to
rush construction projects and are hold
ing in reserve the buildings recently
bought in the proposed municipal CEN
ter for any emergency housing that
may be necessary.
The Commissioners asked Col. Woods
advice on the appointment of a COM
Ynittee to coordinate the efforts of the
District with those of the Presidents
Employment Committee so that the
fullest cooperation can take place.
Letter Promises Cooperation.
The text of the letter follows:
"The Commissioners of the District
Of Columbia desire to cooperate with
you to the fullest extent possible within
the scope Of municipal activities under
their control in the important work
of relieving unemployment which you
are now carrying out. Certain action
has already been taken by the Com
missioners to aid in this important
matter This action has embraced the
carrying of employees, usually dropped
at the end of the open season, over
the Winter months on part time only.
Further effort has been made to
put under contract at the earliest pos
sible time the works in the way of
buildings and other public works for
which appropriations are now on hand.
The buildings already acquired by pur-
chase In the vicinity of Judiciary
Square in connection with the pro-
posed Municipal Center are being con-
housing that may be necessary.
Committee Contemplated.
'Further than this, the Commission
ers are now contemplating the appoint
nent of a committee of representative
citizens to coordinate the work in this
respect in number of voluntary or
CARNATIONS already active with the
city.
I'm order that these efforts may not
conflict in any way with plans you
may have as to such matters, 1t was
further thought this proposed commit
tee might reach into spheres beyond the
province of the Commissioners with
their ordinary municipal limitations.
Before appointing such a Co-ordinating
Committee your advice is requested as
to the appropriateness of such action.
It was especially desired that no action
should be taken by the Commissioners
that might conflict with any plans or
policies which you have adopted. If you
do consider such action desirable your
further counsel is requested as to the
particular features that would be COW
cred in the appointment Of such CO.
originating Committee and of the In
structions which should be given to such
committee.
'.The Commissioners further wish to
assure you Of their full cooperation OF
the general nature proposed by them or
in any other way that you may wish
them 10 cooperate"

First Introduced By Folger

Years ago these coffees were first served in
the old Bohemian restaurants of metropoli-
tan San Francisco where they were brought
by Folger. Travellers tasting them there
were ~captivated. They wrote backfo ship

nobility, it is said, even purchased private
plantations in Central America to secure
these rare coffees first for their own
tables, and later to exploit commercially
in Europe.
Through your grocer, Folger now brings

Twice The Richness
Twice The Flavor

yx7HEN your coffee is not tasting right
w no matter how many different
brands you try-or ways of making it
here's a suggestion.
Try an entirely different kind of coffee.
Try the rare flavor Of coffees from the West
Coast of Central America.
In the tiny spots on the map below are
grown coffees that leading experts the
world over, concede have the tangiest
flavor, the fullest mellow-rich body of
probably any coffee known today.
Grown in rich volcanic soil, nurtured by
brilliant mountain sunlight and steaming
tropic rain, Nature herself gives them a
richer, finer taste that is captivating the
world. In these coffees there are non of
the rough offensive oils. Just the pure.
clear. invigorating flavor.
