SO superabundant as in LucreZia
Bori, the first woman to appear IN
recital this Winter. The charm of
her singing and the charm Of her
personality are CT almost equal i'm
portance.
Simply dressed in white, she made
an attractive picture a. she began to
sing. In variegated group of songs
in Classical strain. her voice showed
its clear, bell-like quality. There
was nothing heavy or sad or dra-
matic in what she sang but delicate,
fairy artistry that sketched her pic
lures with dainty touch. One wished
she might have u-ed more substan-
tial numbers especially in the Eng
Iish group in which to display her
fine artistic sense for in the encore
she gave, "Reve de Ia Vierge" by
Massenet there was depth of feeling
that made one long for more. In
certain upper portions Of her voice
there Is a haunting quality and a
smoothness of emission that COM
pensates for lack Of color in the
lower register.
The last half Of the program,
given in costume, enchanted the
audience with the opportunity 1t Of
fered for her delightful mimicry.
Small gestures and expressive facile
play brought out the coquettry Of
little peasant girl in the charming
Jean ne ment pas" (Arnaud) and
Wecherlin's "Menuet de martini"
and proved her a diseuse Of unique
ability.
A burst of applause greeted the
lovely picture she made in a red
and white Spanish costume and she
sang her native songs with ravishing
effect. The Cruz de Mayo" by
Font, which she finished with
dainty dance, enthused the audience
to the highest pitch and they were
not content until she added several
encores to continue the picturesque
effect.
Frederick Bristol, who proved an
ideal accompanist, proved also his
talent as a soloist In two groups of
interesting numbers. He has not
cnly an easy technic, but keen in
terpretative feeling, and after the
Spanish group, which fitted in so
well with the atmosphere Miss Bori
created. he gave two encores in re-
sponse to many recalls. A. E.

FLAXSEED PROBE
BY j. S. DROPPED
Tariff Commission Silent on
Action-Lack of In
tereSt Blamed.

BY the Associated Press.
Dismissal without prejudice" Of its
20-month investigation into f1axseed
duty schedules was announced last
night by the Tariff Commission.
No explanation of the action was in
cluded in the formal statement making
the decision public.
The commission announced it would
continue it's inquiry into the rates on
resolution adopted by the Senate
June 20.
Lack Of Interest Blamed.
Members of the commission, who de-
clined to be quoted, said the f1aXseed
investigation was discontinued because
of a lack of interest from foreign Or
ganiZations that originally asked for it..
The inquiry was launched June 8,
1881, under the flexible tariff pro-
vision permitting SO per cent change
up or down by presidential order.
The first request for the investiga-
ton, coupled with plea for lower
ing of the 65-cent bushel rate on
agricultural societies in Argentina, a
heavy producing country.
Cost Comparisons Unfavorable.
Commission members said unoffcially
that recent crops in Argentina had been
so good and those in the United States
so poor that any cost comparison would
be unfavorable to Argentina and that
agricultural interests in that country
had lost interest in the inquiry.
The American production centers in
the Middle West. in North and South
Dakota, Minnesota and Montana, and
in some of the Atlantic States.
Information obtained in the fiaXseed
inquiry, the commission said, would be
used in preparing survey report on
the subject.

SOVIET SANCTIONS
RELIGIOUS MEETING
Statement Following Session in
Armenia Compliments Govern
ment for Tolerance.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, November 26-Evidence
that all religion Is not yet dead in the
Soviet Union came today in news from
Erivan, capital Of the Armenian Soviet
Republic, that a congress of the Ar
menian Church had been concluded
after the election of patriarch and
a supreme ecclesiastical council.
The congress was held in Echmiadzin,
ancient seat of the church, and was
attended by 72 delegates from both
Soviet and foreign bishoprics, including
French, English and Americans.
The new patriarch, whose actual title
in the church is CATHOLICS. is Horen
Muradbekian, former archbishop Of
Erivan.
At the conclusion Of the three-day
meeting, which ended November 13, the
congress addressed its greetings to the
government Of Soviet Armenia, COM
plimenting it on the religious toler-
ance of the Soviet power" in allowing
the meeting to be held. The delegates
also expressed deep satisfaction at the
Soviet governments unshakable policy
Of peace toward other nations"
The Armenian communion, called the
Gregorian Church after Gregory the
enlightener," has fiourished since the
year 451, when it declared its indie
pendence of the Byzantine Church, with
which it had been identified since
Christianity was introduced into Ar
menia in the year 302.

OFFICIAL UPHOLDS
CREDIT OF CHICAGO
Treasurer Says City viii Be
All Right When Taxes
Are Paid.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 26.-Is Chicago
broke? No, City Treasurer James A.
Kearns answered yesterday. And its
credit, he insisted, ranks with the best
of the great cities of the country.
Father Dearborn, he pointed out, has
gone SO years without default in In
terest or principal Of municipal bonds.
He has plenty Of bills collectable-from
taxpayers-and Owls nearly half bill
lion dollars worth of unencumbered
property.
Citizens Pay Slowly.
The payless pay days for municipal
employes-the firemen, policemen and
others-have been brought on by Glow-
ness of citizens in paying their taxes,
Kearns said, but they have not affected
Chicago's repute as a prompt debtor to
its bondhoIders. The teachers are not
municipal employees, but are paid by
the Board OF Education, separate
taxing body.
Chicago has outstanding, according
to Kearns, $136,147, 400 in long-term in
debtedness bonds-a meager amount
compared with New York's 1881, 1885,
246 as of November 1. This city, Kearns
added, has an unexercised bonding
power Of $500 900, which could be
used on basis of current valuations.
Warrants, issued in anticipation Of
taxes to be collected. have figured
heavily in accounts Of Chicagos alleged
plight, Kearns said. but the total Of
warrants now in the hands of the pub
lie, including bankers, is only $1S,5o4,-
900.
The "why" of these warrants is famil-
lar to those who have read of Chicago's
recent pecuniary embarrassments. They
were issued following a reassessment
first ordered in 1928, which was not
completed for two years, thereby de-
laying the inflow Of tax receipts. Since
then many taxpayers have been behind
in their payments to the city, county
and State and other warrants had to
be sold to provide funds.
Warrants Are Liens.
"The warrants are liens directly upon
taxes and will be liquidated as soon as
1--WE expect to be fully caught up, with
all warrants redeemed. in three years.
Not SO very long ago Chicago had
more money than it knew what to do
with-nearly S100,000,000 in fact. We
bought our own warrants. Today we
have sos, 400, 900 in the treasury. This
is in trust funds, traction funds and
sinking funds. We have bought $780,
TOO, 900 Of our own warrants and secur-
tiles with some Of this money to keep
them of the market"
Recently city officials estimated that
81 per cent Of the delinquent taxes of
Cook County were owed on pieces Of
property valued at more than $500,000
each.
THE owners Of such property are not
going to let them be sold for taxes" !"
Kearns said. "It is too valuable"
When the taxes are paid Chicago
will receive its share along with Cook
County and the county's other govern
mental units, some Of which are not
so favorably situated as the city.
Kearns said.

RAILWAYS HAMPER /
SOVIET PROGRAMS
Failure of Lines to Keep Up
With Production Delay In
dustriaI Units Work.
BY Cable to The Star.

BY Cable to The Star.
MOSCOW, November 26.-Transpor-
tation is once again revealed as the
weakest link Of the Soviet economic
system. Figures for the first 10 months
o: 1882 show that no other factor has
done more to slacken the pace of the
five-year plan than the failure of the
railways to expand their operation in
accordance with the program. Produc-
ton of new freight cars in 1882 will be
only about half of what was planned
and freight car loadings for 10 months
arc less than 2 per cent greater than
they were for a like period in 1881.
october loadings were actually 5000
cars less than the same month in 1881.
This Is true in face Of the fact that
figures recently published show that
during 10 months pig iron production
increased more than 20 per cent over
the same period last year, that steel
production increased IL per cent and
coal 16 per cent. Because of chaos in
the transportation system, this increased
production can be only partly effective.
Production, especially of goods, can
contribute to the economic advance
only If the goods can be moved to points
whereat they are needed.
Bunch Up at Stations.
Ia Industrializatsia says: "The turn
over In freight cars is unbearably slow,
Ia part because trains fail to keep
schedule and tend to bunch up at sta
tions." In this respect, this journal
states, the situation is worse than last
year. The commissariat of communica-
tions is now sending out special shock
brigades charged with the duty of
speeding up loading and unloading
cars.
Freight traffic Is slowed down in no
small degree because passenger traffic
has increased so rapidly since the revo-
luton. At most stations tickets are
obtainable only day or two in ad
vance of the departure Of trains. The
big industrial labor turnover, due in
part to unfavorable living conditions, Is
partly responsible for the inflated pas
senger traffic. Difficult living conditions
in the Ukraine and other agricultural
peasant migrations, are also contrinut-
ing factor.
Roadbeds Are Poor.
The roadbeds of some of the Soviet
rail lines are in bad condition. Re-
Gently on a railway journey this corre-
spondent lost the greater part Of a
nights sleep simply because he was
bounced about so much In the berth.
Passengers in all the other cars on the
train experienced similar difficulties in
slumber.
1t is obvious that Soviet industrial
production cannot advance at a rate
much faster than that of expansion OF
the transportation system. Recent ex-
perience indicates that improvement in
the country's railways IS to be rela-
lively slow process. Completion of the
projected lines from Donbas to Moscow
would greatly assist the coal industry,
since Donbas Is in the principal coal
producing region. Over long period
the transportation system will expert
ence difficulty in providing sufficient
rolling stock to meet the need Of the
new industrial giants, such as Magni-
togorsk and KuznetZstroy.

Point to Promise of Increased

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 16-Promise of
improved purchasing power in the ag-
ricultural districts on the rise OF live
stock prices and generally favorable
harvest indications afforded a more
favorable basis for trade forecasts. al
though the business of the week in re-
tail and wholesale markets and in in
dustry was on a restricted scale. the
weekly merchandise reviews said today.
Bradstreets said th-t industrial CEN
tiers. commerce and trade are feeling
acutely the seasonal hull. although the
past weeks retail transactions held up
fairly well. Summer and vacation
merchandise in the lower price brackets
moved in fair volume, but in some Sec
tions of the country department store
sales have slowed up materially 1t
stated
According to Dun's. trade is more re-
Stricted than is generally the case, and
wholesale markets in practically all
lines are extremely quiet. This review,
however. regards the prospect of pro-
longed Summer slackness less discon-
certing because of the improved agri-
cultural outlook. Corn promises large
yield, and the July crop report indi-
Gates most satisfactory conditions as to
other farm products, it is asserted.
Curtailment in the cotton acreage is
held to have had beneficial effect on
the extensive cotton industries, and
prospects for farm buying later in the
season ere said to have been greatly
helped by this situation and by i'm
provement in prices of live stock.
Industrial operations are reported at
a still lower level, chiefly in steel and

COMMODITY PRICES
CONTINUE UPTREND
General Average Is Higher
Than Month Ago After
Long Decline.
BY CHARLES p. SHAEFFER,

Action Of commodity prices Is an
outstanding favorable business indica-
ton at the present time.
These prices appear steadied. The
trend of the general average has been
downward for more than two years. but
at present the general average is higher
than a month ago.
Considered of most significance Is
that the advances and chief strength
have appeared in the most heavily
weighted groups. These include the
main groups of foods. fuel, grains, feeds,
live stock and textiles.
After three consecutive weekly gains,
the wholesale price index of the Ma
tional Fertilizer Association for 476
commodities showed its largest gain of
the year during the week ended July 9.
1t advanced to index number SIS, based
on representing l926-28 averages as 100,
a rise OF l9 points over the record low
point OF 596 shown on June II, end
gain of OS point during the week. A
month ago it stood at 596 and a year
ago at 70.3.
Foods advanced 19 points during the
week, grains, feeds and live stock rose
18 points and textiles scored gain OF
04 point. Fats and oils. not so heav-
lily weighted. advanced % points.
For the first time in months the num-
Der of commodities that advanced was
greater than the declines. During the
week 81 commodities scored price rises
while 18 declined.
Among the advances were such items
as cotton. lard, butter, sugar. pork
potatoes, wheat, corn. cattle, hogs and
rubber. The declines included wool
rayon. eggs apples, feedstuffs. pig iron
hides and coffee.
