INTERIOR MEASURE
NEAR SENATE VOTE
Bill Expected to Be Passed Today
Carries Funds for Pay
Raises.

The Senate may pass the Interior
Department appropriation bill today
with money included to begin promot-
ing Government employees In under
average grades, but the final decision
as to whether increases in under-aver-
age cases will be started during the
coming fiscal year rests with conferees
on the Treasury Post once bill.
The same principle regarding these
increases Is involved in all the depart
mental bills, and, since the Treasury
Post ONCE measure was the first to
reach the conference stage, the verdict
on that bill will be guide for the
others. The Senate has named its con-
ferees on the Treasury-Post Once bill,
and as soon as the House members are
named. they will meet to settle their
differences. The Senate Is backing the
budget recommendation that money be
appropriated this year to take care Of
80 per cent of the under-average cases,
the remainder to be provided for in the
next two years. The House did not in
clude these increases.
The Interior bill, which carries $248,-
1874 for increases in under-average sal
aries, was before the Senate for a while
yesterday, but not completed. Senator
Smoot Of Utah, in charge of the bill,
hopes to obtain final action today.
The forthcoming conference on the
Treasury-PoSt once bill will be the
second one, the Senate having turned
down the first report of the conferees,
from which the Senate salary increases
had been eliminated.

JUSTICE REVERSES ]
REALTY DECISION
Trustees Told to Seek Liens
Against Mortgagor Before
Paying Surplus.

Real estate brokers and operators will
be specially interested in the opinion of
the Court of Appeals holding that
trustees making foreclosure under deeds
of trust are required to see that there
are no recorded judgments or other
liens against the mortgagor before pay
| ing over to him any surplus remaining
after satisfying the trust in which they
are named and the expenses incident
| to the sale.
Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel so de-
clared today when he reversed the ac-
ton of the Municipal Court in denying
a Judgment to W. A. H Church, Inc,
which had sued Kirk Holmes and Ed
win M. Barr. trustees under a deed of
trust made by John w. Jackson. The
Church company held a recorded judg-
ment against Jackson which the APP
pellate court holds was a subsisting
lien against the property of Jackson.
When the trustees had paid over sur
plus from the sale to Jackson, the judg-
ment creditor brought suit against the
trustees.
The trustees dehurred to the declara-
ton asserting their liability under the
terms of the deed of trust was only TO
the maker of the trust afer its other
terms had been satisfied and the costs
and commissions paid. The Municipal
Court sustained the demurrer and the
Church Co. appealed.
There are few, If any, Jurisdictions,
says Justice Van OrSdel, where the
matter of foreclosure is conducted in
the summary way that prevails IN the
District of Columbia, where under a
power Of sale conferred in the deed Of
trust, the trustees may on short pub
lished notice, sell the property mort
gagged without any right of redemption
in the mortgagor. The rule, therefore,
| that the trustees shall take notice of the
| records as to junior mortgages, judy
ments. or liens before disposing of sur
plus in their hands or turning it back
to the martgagor, is not harsh one,
but wholesome, equitable requirement
for the protection of Junior incum-
brancers. It iS no burden upon the
trustees to require them before paying
over the surplus to have a proper search
made of the records or require the
mortgagor to present a certificate from
the proper officers that the record is
clear of existing membranes"

over the place. And the same may
be said for the first half hours
harping on what was very evident
indeed, namely, that the young wife
wanted q baby and didn't think she
could ever have one. That she
eventually did, and that It belonged
to the doctor and not her husband.
and that the child was hurt almost
unto death so that It needed the
care of his rightful parent to bring
him back to the land of the living,
was what occupied the rest Of the
play until the obvious ending, when
the doctor took himself on and life
went on as before.
Mr.. Barry has drawn his char
acters nicely, and as one might say
lyrically, but never with the Shrewd-
ness that went with some of their
predecessors. His lines have less
humor, more poetry and more Of
the sweet darling" pretty bird"
variety, known to make certain
theatrical customers wriggle un-
comfortably during their recital.
And while his theme is effective in
spots and even delightful in random
moments, this seems rather the fault
of the actors than the premeditated
skill of the author. The whole be-

casionally eventually, and too sweet

tinually.

PROHIBITION TEST
CASE OPENS JAN. q.
Priority Given Appeal From
Judge CIark's Decision
by Supreme Court.

| By the Associated Press.
The appeal of the United States to
test the recent decision of Judge Clark
holding the prohibition amendment in
valid was today advanced by the SUI
preme Court for hearing on Wednesday
January 81.
Chief Justice Hughes made this an
nouncement today and said it would be
heard ahead of all cases awaiting hear
ing on that date.
Counsel upholding the Clark decision
! yesterday requested the hearing be
deferred until the middle of April on
the plea previous engagements would
prevent their being ready at en- earlier
date.
Solicitor General Thatcher advised the
court yesterday that the Government
was ready to contest the decision at any
| date which might be set. He urged
| that it be taken up soon.
BY hearing the appeal on January 81
! the court will be able to render q de-
| cision before the close OF the present
term in June. Ordinarily an appeal
filed at this time would not be heard
before next Fall.

The Supreme Court also has taken
action to settle long-standing prohibit
ton controversy It ruled illegal the
Federal dry raid on the offices of the
Go-Bart Importing Co. of New York
in June, 1929.
Meanwhile, a move to press 100 new
Federal dry agents into service before
July ! reached the floor of the House
of Representatives. Prohibition Direc-
tor WoodcocKs request was contained
in the first deficiency bill which was
reported. The bill asked for $543, $40
for prohibition and would put 257 ad-
ditional dry workers in the field, ap-
proximately half of them agents.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
was dealt two blows yesterday by the
Supreme Court.
Returning from a three-week recess,
the highest tribunal set aside commits
sion order that Florida interstate freight
rates on logs be increased, and ruled a
special fund Of So $4,000 created in the
reorganization of the st. Paul Railroad
was free from the commissions control.
Rates Held Unjustifled.
In the former case the court, which
several years ago sustained the cohnmiS-
sion's conditional authority over intra-
state rates, ruled the rates imposed by
the commission were unjuStified.
Justices Stone, Brandeis and Holmes
disSented from the ST. Paul decision,
while Chief Justice Hughes took no
part in its consideration. The railroad
had maintained this fund was created
to pay the fees of counsel and reorgani-
cation managers.

did evidence not only OF portraying
Gunther with a command that was
climactic in many instances, but of
the fact that his popularity among
the great of German singers Is well
= deserved. Johannes Sembach's Sieg-
ried had distinction in the more
dramatic moments, but seemed to
lack something in the way OF vocal
effects-his voice pleasing some and
not 81 r,''lch others. Marie Won Es-
sen, an American girl, whose career
in this country should from this
moment forth be positively assured,
was not only delightfully."- attuned to
her role. but created picture Of
youthful vitality and lyric sweetness
not usually found in such a young
singer. There was Carl Braun, too,
the same as he has been in other
years, as Hagen-perhapS In better
voice-and 1t is a splendid voice
and Isolde Won Bernhard, lovely to
look at, but lacking quite the strength
Of voice that her role called for.
All of which made the evening

of the orchestra pit forced some of
the musicians to occupy the front
rows, a grand and glorious event.

be attributed to DR.. Won Schillings
This noted director, whose fame is
phenomenal in Berlin and around

ovation at his entrance which was
entirely justified later on by the per-
Torrance. Words of praise having

were those prepared to be wary of

after the first few minutes of the
prologue had gone their way, there
couldn't have been any one uncon-

Spring Mode
Is ShOzU11 as
Very Simple

George Philip Meier, whose name
In Indianapolis is synonymous with
fashion" was definite in his de-
nunciation Of the paiama frock
Tuesday before the show OF Paris
imports sponsored by him in the
AyTes auditorium.
The pajama frock is not smart,
Meier said. Already the hostess
frock has supplanted it in vogue.
One hostess frock shown was OF
eggshell crepe, with the bodice not
too snugly fitted, and flowing
sleeves. The skirt was fashioned
from two large squares Of the same
material bordered with wide rose
stripes meeting in front in an in
verted pleat and one, set diamond
shaped in the back. Points Of the
squares fell at the sides.
The outstanding feature Of the
spring mode is its utter simplicity,
for which the woman will pay, and
pay. and pay. The hand touches,
the elaborate appliques and faggot-
ting, the yards and yards Of tulle
rufling. which give the simple eff
feet, belle their looks on the price
tags
Cotton BIatantIy Forward
The mode, which during the win
ter wavered a trif1e, has gone de-
cidedly feminine. Many gowns, par
ticularly dance frocks, have old
fashioned petticoats, long and
trimmed with lace or ruffles, whose
sole purpose is to peep intriguingly
from out milady's hem.
Cotton, surprisingly. has come to
the front. Not tinidly, as in other
years, but blatantly, in all its glory.
Organdy, and eyelet embroidered
materials are very popular.
Black remains as smart as ever;
brown is holding its own, with two
young upstairs appearing on the
color horizon, opaline green and
opaline yellow.
Accessories do not match the OUT
fits this year, but contrast either in
gay or somber manner.
One mentions nothing else but
straw, rough preferred, for hats.
Loveliest Frock White
The loveliest frock in the show
was by Premet, Of white organdy.
very long, with appliqued nosegays
outlined in bugle beads. With it, as
with many others, was worn a mar
row black velvet sash.
The most striking was Lanvin
model of white broadcloth, with a
sleeveless dress and a belted coat,
the sleeves of the coat cut in one
with the yoke. A tricky scarf of
black galyak that may or may not
be worn, completed the ensemble.
An Agnes turban in white kid was
worn with the outfit.
Another lovely evening gown by
Callot Soeurs was of black satin and
lace over a pink satin slip. A lovely
frock for a young girl was of silver
lace over a poudre blue satin sheath,
with double circular tulle fiounce
falling from the hips, in the back,
giving a redingote effect. This model
was from Norman Hartwell.
L. S. Ayres models were supple
mented by the following: Mrs.
Henley Holiday, Mrs. Charles
Latham, Miss Frances Holiday and
Miss Harriet Denny. Mrs. John
Fishback, fashion director for Ayres,
spoke before the fashion parade.
