Dame clubs of Chicago and the
st. Joe Valley stood by idly be,
cause further plans awaited the
arrival of Mrs. K. K. Rockne from
Florida, early this evening.
Wires Pour In
Meanwhile, hundreds of tele
grams from all parts of the cOun
try requested the information
that even the president could not
give. And that was the day of ser
vices.
It was believed that leading
Notre Dame men who have been
scanning lists containing hun
dreds of Rockne's closest friends
for the selection of those who
would escort the famed coach to
his resting place would end up by
naming the following as pail
bearers:
Tom COnIey, captain of the 1880
eleven; Tom Yarr, Captain-elect of
the 1881 eleven, and the famous
backfieId of the 1881 team-Frank
CarideO, Marchy Schwartz, Larry
Mullins and Marty Brill.
May Select Stadium
Knute had so many intimate
friends that the task of naming
pallbearers would be a hopeless
one. His players likely will offer
the solution.
Whether the services will be
held in Sacred Heart Church on
the campus has not been deter
mined.
It is a certainty that thousands
will storm the church on the day
of the final rites and for that
reason there is possibility that
NOtre Dame stadium, which will
serve as Rockne's monument, may
serve as the setting for the re-
QUEEN mass.

Evacuation of Resident Is Urged
As Whole Citv Must Be Rebuilt

President Monca Ia and his
cabinet joined hands with United
States Minister Matthew E
Hanna in co-ordinating relie t
forces until outside help can
penetrate.
After a long conference it was
decided that residents should be
encouraged to evacuate the city
for nearby centerS, as first sur.
veys indicated that the city must
be rebuilt from top to bottom.
A preliminary report showed
that no single structure in the
city is absolutely safe.
Exodus In Full Swing
The exodus, already in full
swing, will aid the situation con-
siderably. Badly injured cases
will be loaded into trains as fast
as possible for shipment to hos.
pitals in Granada, Leo and other
cities. Some $4,000 persons will
have been moved out by the end
Of the week.
President MOncada, living like
any of the thousands of simple
poems deprived of their home, is
sued an official statement warmly
thanking the marines for their
splendid work in establishing or.
der in the city.
From the top of Monte Iona,
where the presidential palace fell
prey to flames, the chief execu-
tive Of Nicaragua viewed with
dismay the wreckage of his cap
1tal. It extends without inter-
ruption to the low shore of Lake
Managua.
300 COnvicts Killed
A survey of the disaster re-
vealed that hundreds of persons
perished in the crash of the city's
larger buildings, such as the
public market place, the city Jail,
the penitentiary, various hospitals,
churches, schools and shops.
The shocks came at the height

HOOVER DENIES
WAGE CUTS

but in general wage standards
have been maintained, even in
the face of a marked slowing
down by business, officials said
today.
The Presidents analysis of in
duStrial conditions was confirmed
today by President Green, Of the
American Federation of Labor.
He said:
"In general, business leaders
have kept their pledge to the
Government not to cut wages.
This is the verdict of leaders
of union labor.
Coal Miners Suffer
$50 far as our workers are
concerned, they have not been
affected to any great extent by
wage cuts. The real SlasheS
have come in those branches of
industry either non-OrganiZed
or partly organized. The bi.
luminous coal industry has Suf-
fered, so have shoes and tex
tiles.
"The railroads, public utili-
ties and the building trades
have maintained wage rates. In
steel, also, there has been little
wage cutting"
Other A. F. of L. officials spoke
in similar vein. Officials of the
Department Of Labor refused to
comment on the Presidents
views, but some of them indicated
that wage reductions we're
threatened in the future in a
number Of important industries.

HOUNDS TRAIL
DESCRIBED At
LURAY TRIAL
Witness Tells How His Dogs
Went From Body to Home
Of Murder Case Defendant

LURAY. Va, April 2.-David
Radford, of Staunton, Va, owner
of the bloodhoundS which figured
in the arrest of David SourS,
Blue Ridge mountaineer, on
charge Of numbering Edward
Buracker, today told a jury OF
Page county citizens of follow.
ing a trail which he says led
from the body of the slain man
to the Sours' cabin.
Radford's testimony was ad-
mitted over strong objections of
the defense, which argued that
evidence procured by the use Of
dogs is not valid.
Trailing Is Described
The dog owner declared that
his hounds picked up a trail at
the spot where Buracker's body
was found, hidden under leaves
and brush, and followed it
through the mountains to the
Sours home.
1t is expected that the case will
last the remainder of the week
and that it will not reach the
jury before Saturday, court at
taches said today. More than 20
of the 80 prosecution witnesses
have been heard.
One of the star witnesses for
the prosecution was heard yester.
day afternoon, when Lester Bu-
racker, a brother of the murdered
man, told of enmity existing be-
tween the SourS and the Buracker
families.
Threat Is Charged
Buracker declared that on
March 4, the day before the mur.
der, SOurs declared that he was
going to "fill Ed Buracker full of
lead"
The story of the feud between
the two families had previously
been related by the widow of the
dead man, who said that bad
blood has existed for some years
as the result Of a moonshine
raid, in which Buracker was &C.
cused of h wing turned IN
former"
Another witness yesterday was
Schuyler Dodson, who is now serv-
ing term in the Madison county
Jail on prohibition charge.
Dodson declared that Sours had
told him that he had shot at
Buracker once, and that next
time he came peeping around his
moonshine mash he would shoot
to kill"
Dodson is a brother-in-laW of
the murdered man.
Woman on Stand
Mrs. zella Buracker, sister of
Buracker's wife, testified that
Sours told her in 1923 that he
was going to kill Buracker, and
also Elvin BroyleS, a friend of
the Buracker family.
DR.. Howell Grady Pickett, pro-
feSSor of chemistry, who exam.

Maximmilian Won Hapsburg
(Alfred Lunt).
The frayed relics of the Haps-
burg dynasty are having 4
secret reunion to live for a
night with the memories of
Franz. Joseph and his royal
menage. Elena is invited to the
party and is disposed to refuse
when her husband suggests that
the presence of Rudolf offers a
challenge. She goes to the party
defiantly wearing the diamond
necklace presented by her i'm
petuous lover.
ReneWS COurtShip
Rudolf Immediately accepts this
appearance as a brazen invitation
to renew his tyrannical amours,
starting his campaign with
sadistic slap in the face that
makes you ponder on the ways
of royalty.
Thereafter his violent and
domineering efforts to make the
lady surrender to his egotistical
charms presents the problem.
When he carried his courtShip
to the doctors home was the
moment 1 decided the world war
was not wholly in vain. It
forced such overstuffed conceit to
driving a taxi.
FOntanne Shines
Lynn Fontanne is an enchant-
ing actress to watch and for two
acts plays eXpertly with smart
dialogue and a role which glows
with beauty and delicate charm.
But when she surrendered to the
absurdity of the plays situations
l found her equally unhappy
floundering in Stiffness.
Alfred Lunt has a staggering
entrance in the second act with
a neat exhibition of clustering
ana herolcs and a scorching hot
love scene that he endows with the
limit of fervor. There is the GUS
tomary vehement Spewing,
Reunion in Vienna" has some
beautifully acted incidental roles,
particularly those projected by
Helen Westley and Henry Travers.
Minor Watson impressed me as

6 Grand Operas
Planned Here
In January

Arrangements were conSum-
mated today whereby the Wash
ington engagement, early in Janu,
ary, of the Cosmopolitan Grand
Opera Company, will be under the
local management of Mrs. Wilson
Greene and promises to be the
outstanding musical event of the
year.
Managing Director Harry C.
Baker, stated that while the
theater has not been definitely
chosen, it is quite likely that the
National will house his organiza-
ton, as the seating capacity of
this theater is large enough to
permit a low top price, yet give
the company a small margin Of
profit.
The engagement will be for one
week with a repertoire of six of
the most popular operas. Romeo
and Juliet" Carmen" and
Faust" will be sung in French;
I'll Trovatore" and "Rigoletto' in
Italian, and "Hansel and GretaP
in both English and German.
The latter opera will be sung
in German in the evening and
will be repeated in English for
the Saturday matinee.
SamOssOud Conducts
While all of the artists have
won world fame and many of
them have been heard in Wash
ington with the Metropolitan,
probably the most pleasant
announcement is that the
musical and artistic director is
Jacques Samossoud, one of the
most popular conductors of
grand opera and symphony that
ever came to Washington.

Andrew z. Kelley line to become
a preposterous farce which all the
forensics of Actor Lunt and the
brilliance of Lynn Fontanne could
make for me nothing more than
long-winded boredom. Reunion
in Vienna" struck out, and inglori-
ously, just as We had begun to ex-
pect a hit.
Where 1t Missed
Perhaps there was a presence"
which spoiled this play for me. 1t
was the memory of Minor Watson
in virile, he-man roles and the in
congruity of watching him with
calm deliberation deb a tin g
whether he should surrender his
wife to the fevered embraces of
the insolent and irritating wreck
of the Hapsburgs as typified by
Alfred Lunt. If he had thrown
him out the window some excite
ment would have replaced an
abundance of Stiffness and at least
Is minutes of precious time.
Gentle SpOOfings
While Playwright Sherwood was
gently spoofing the pSychoana-
lysts and disinterring the glories
of the Hapsburgs of prewar Aus
tria for inspection, there was both
interest and a colorfui faScina-
ton in his play. 1t was when he
attempted to combine the bright
points of the first two acts, re-
taining-as one lamented pub
Usher used to say-the best fea-
lures of each, that his play
trickled off into vapid verbose
ness and to the thinnest curtain
calls Lunt-Fontanne opus has
yet received in Washington.
Action Is Red Hot
Reunion in Vienna" has gay
and a saucy theme that is dar-
ingly worked out. If you are
midvictorian enough you can call
for Lieutenant Van Winkle, for
the Second-act biological gestures
are as frank, yea, as disgusting,
as anything attempted by Mae
West in her lurid drama.

cologist, DR.. Anton Krug minor

This hardened, and perhaps

with the pre-conceived notion that
Lew Leslie's Rhapsody in Black"

phases, as succeeding scenes
proved.
GIOrified Gershwin
However glib one may be in
turning adjectives, however ready
with ordinary figures OF speech,
these tricks of the writing art
must be discarded in attempting
to describe the impression left by
this production. George Gersh-

marvellous as that was, its lnspl-
ration would have been lacking
without the chorus by the choir

basses, like the notes Of ? great

Waters Is Star
Ethel Waters is featured in
this all-colored company and
rightly so. At times she is
feminine prototype of the reVered
Bert Williams as in her Dance
Hall Hostess" at other times, as
in Wash Tub Rub-sody' or You

A daring thing this but rUVerently

The marvellous Valaida not only

featured in exotic song and dance
