EIGHT DIE AS
TRAIN HITS
SCHOOL Bus

CRESCENT CITY, Fla, Dec. ID.
U.P)-Eight children were killed and
about 35 others injured, seven OF
them seriously, when an Atlantic
Coast line northbound freight train,
travelling through fog today, struck
bus loaded with children.
H. D. Niles, driver of the bus, dri-
yer TO the bus, drove onto the tracks
without seeing the onrushing train.
The eight students were killed al
most instantly and three more died
later in a hospital.
The accident occurred at a cross
ing about five miles houth of here,
where the railroad and state high
way No. 3 parallel each other 100
yards apart.
The driver of the bus obviously
did not see the approaching train,
for the rear end of his vehicle was
caught by the freight.
Bodies of several of the children
were SO badly disfigured that iden-
LITIGATION had to be made by par
ents through clothes the children
wore.

MORE RAIDS
WIDEN SPLIT

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IA. U.P)
New raids on fashionable speak
easies widened the split today be-
tween majority faction of the
state board of equalization and John
c. Corbett, San Francisco member,
over the enforcement policy to be
followed in administering Califor-
MAS new liquor laws.
Corbett had instructed Donald
Marshall, chief enforcement officer
to stop his raids after Marshall had
closed at least three clubs flere.
Chairman Richard Collins and
other members of the board told
Marshall to go ahead with the raids.
The enforcement officer report
edly announced that he would listen
to 1.-The last one that talks to me-"
Evidently he had listened to the
Collins faction last, for shortly af-
ter Corbetts instructions, Marshall
visited the Embassy club and the
backyard club and arrested the al
legged bartenders.

feeling that she is convinced that
Beatrice Webb is the dynamic force
in this partnership. Sydney Webb,
OF the lower middle classes of Lon
don, is the husband of Beatrice
Potter Webb, daughter of a
wealthy, powerful ruling family of
England. They are both inspired
and brilliant workers for the labor
ing classes. Mrs. Hamilton has
done good piece of work in show
ing the human side of the Webbs,
smiling at their oddities and weak
neSSeS. She has done an even bet
ter piece of work in showing the
great intellectual stimulus given by
the Webbs to their contemporaries.
One need not be student of pol
itics to enjoy the pictures drawn
of their large circle of friends and
co-Workers. Many OF them are
more famous than the WebbS. The
book includes interesting descrip-
lions of George Bernard Shaw, H.
G.. Wells, Ramsay Macdonald, An
ME BeSant, Arthur Henderson, John
Burns and many other Well-knoWn
figures of modern British life and
politics. The World-reknoWned Fa-
bian society is shown in its infancy
growing through the efforts of Sid
ney Webb and his closest friend,
George Bernard Shaw.
Mrs. Hamilton has shown a weak
ness common to biographers. In
her enthusiasm for the Webbs, she
has become a bit over-emphatic
She naturally has a great respect
for their enormous achievement as
everyone who knows the scope of
their work. However, she is some
what prejudiced in their favor
The student of modern English
politics and affairs should not ne
glect this book. The Labour party,
the Fabian society, the London
educational system, the trade I'M
ions, the poor laws-all of these
have felt the strong imprint of the
Webbs. They are outstanding fig
ures in modern England and should
be recognized as such; and Mrs.
Hamilton reacts to them-as do all
others who come under the Webb
influeuce-with enthusiasm, with
near awe.

DISCUSS PRACTICES
Will Ask Government to Aid in
Keeping Prices Fair Under

CHICAGO, June 8-To stop what
they call piracy in music discounting
by music publishers, the Federal Gov
ernment will be invited to see that fair
prices prevail for cantataS and that the
market for soprano solos isn't wrecked.
Sheet music dealers, meeting for a
convention OF their national association,
decided yesterday to see if the indus
trial recovery act, providing for Federal
supervision, can restore prosperity to
their business.
What the Government will have to
do, dealers made plain, is to enforce
peace on this front. The music dealers
gave examples of what they come up
against In marketing classics. One
dealer said he caught competitor CIV
ing 40 per cent discount on Mendels-
sohn's Spring Song" thus undermining
the entire Spring Song" market.
This price-cutting, others said, has
put the customers, the musicians, in an
unfortunate frame of mind. Then con-
slider price in making up their pro-
grams.
If they can't get the discount they
want" one dealer said sadly, they
won't use your. numbers
Leaders told the convention prices
might be solidified if the music publish
ers. from whom they buy, go under the
Federal industrial act and fix resell
ing price. The convention was further
encouraged along this line by letter
from the Department of Commerce urg-
ing the dealers to "integrate" their in

last nights concert of Latin
i American music and the beau
tiful surroundings and fresh air
aided greatly in the enjoyment of the
music. With the lifting rhythm of
Spanish music and the soft voice of
Ortiz Tirado singing romantic Mexican
songs, it was not difficult to imagine
oneself in any of the countries of our
Latin American neighbors.
This is the first concert in which the
United Service Orchestra has not taken
part, the orchestral numbers being
played yesterday exclusively by the
United States Marine Band, under the
direction of Capt. Taylor Branson. The
program contained several first rendi-
tions, particularly interesting being the
strange La Culebra,' from the suite
La Rebambaramba," by Amadeo Roldon
of Cuba, and La Guacamaya," by
Alberto Galimany of Panama. This
composition is dedicated to one of the
birds living in the patio of the Pan
American Building which attracted the
attention and interest of the composer
on one Of his visits to this city.
Elisabetta M. S. de Pate's bolero,
Gypsy" which was given a first hear
ing On one of the recent programs, was
played again last night by request. The
famous waltz "Sobre las Olas.' by
Juventino RoSas (Mexico), rondo, ''In
the Orange Grove" by Luis A. Calvo of
Colombia, and the cueca, "Manana," by
Anibal Infanta of Chile, were included
in the program, which finished with
Justin Flies Queen of the Night"
Some of the finest lyric singing that
has been heard in some time was done
by Ortiz Tirado, Mexican tenor, who
was the assisting artist of the occasion.
Mr. Tirado'S voice is finely textured, of
soft, ingratiating quality and produced
with the utmost east. Although his
program was made up of more or less
popular numbers, the insinuating
melodies fitted nicely into Summer
evenings entertainment. Mr.. Tirado
sang with deep feeling and variety of
nuance that drew out of these songs
wealth of color that elevated them to
the plane of high artistic merit. In
"Triguenta," by Julio Brito of Cuba, he
displayed a beautiful pianissimo tone
that was pure and vibrating in its ex-
treme softness and again in "Te Quiro
Dijiste," by Maria Grever, Mexico, he
used the same quality to form a con-
trast in the passionate color of the
music. Two other songs by Cuban COM
posers were in his first group, LAS
Perlas de tu Boca," by E1iseo Grenet,
and the charming "Princesa de Abril'
of Ernesto Lecuona.
Dressed in rich Mexican costume, Mr..
Tirado sang number Of Mexican songs,
including Maria Grever's "Lamento
Gitano," Agustin Lara's Rosa" and
"Besame," by Oswaldo Perez Cabrera.
In these songs Mr. Tirado demonstrated
how much can be brought out of music
when thought and artistic feeling COM
bine to search out the minute effects
that mean so much for the artistic
whole. His vital, interested way of

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 8
(NAN.AD.-It's mans day in pictures.
When Hollywood's newest producing
unit, Twentieth Century Productions
announced its first story on which cam
eras will grind, it was not surprising to
hear that two men-Wallace Beery and
George Raft-will be the stars.
Women-beautiful women-will get
their innings most probably in 'the
Bowery" because it is difficult to tell a
story about men without bringing some
lovely women into it. But the main
issue in choosing the story was to pro-
vide these two favoriteS with the correct
vehicle.

nounced for near shooting by this COM
pany, is record Of the difficulties and
adventures Of a young man employed in
this capacity by national telephone
system and Is taken from a real life
story.
Undoubtedly M G. M. had the in
terest of John Barrymore at heart when
they bought Reunion in Vienna and
without doubt this rollicking version of
the gay play will be popular even if it
Is sad Interpretation of it to those
of us who saw Alfred Lunt as the ex-
lied royalty and Lynn Fontanne as
nleana
1t is difficult to pit any other players
against the interpretations of those two,
but Diana Wynyard, lovely as she was
in "Cavalcade" and "Rasputin," was a
very sorry, sober and hopelessly British
choice for the volatile ex-mistress of
the young archduke. She put vitality
into her lines by rushing them-was en-
tirely without subtlety and, in the mad
dest of the scenes, reminded one Of
nothing so much as a large animated
doll when the motor is freshly wound
up.
The comedy technique of Barrymore
Is some 10 years behind that of Lunt.
1t is the old school, drafted along
the identical lines of the first comedy
performances 1 ever saw Mr.. Barry
more give. None of this is going to
spoil Reunion" for you if you haven't
seen it perfectly done. The adapta-
tion is clumsy and, as is usual with
