A new social world will open up to
society when this week the recently
arrived Ambassador for the Union Of
Soviet Socialist Republics and Nine.
Troyanovsky take up their residence
in what was once expected to be the
imperial Russian embassy. Never be-
fore in Washington has such grandeur
obtained in the embassy of republic
as that which will be seen when the
Ambassador and his lady receive and
entertain. The furnishings Of the
embassy vie in interest with the rich
treasures of old-World museums, and
only the china and kitchen ware were
bought in this country. Katherine
the Great was one of the most lavish
rulers of Russia and from her palaces
are said to come the wonderful red
wood, richly carved furniture and
many of the treasures of that art-lov-
ing ruler.
Quite in contrast to the embassy
of Baron Rosen, diplomatic represent
ative of Nicholas II, or even of his
successor. the late George Bakhme-
teff, is the splendid environs of Mr..
Troyanovsky, and yet why not. When
Baron and Baroness RoSen occupied
the old Tracy house on Faragut
square, now the American Association
of University Women's Club, many
may recall his state dinners with
rather simple ware laid upon a some
what crumpled linen cloth, and the
entire atmosphere, except for the
charming hosts, scarcely worthy the
hospitality of the simplest republic.

BY SALLIE V. II. PICKETT.

The observance of Holy week, like
that OF mourning, so far as society in
general is concerned, has changed
nightly in these days of rapid trans
portation, radios and what not, and
it now seems not at all shocking to
entertain and be entertained, even
choosing Good Friday for wedding
day, but there is always sufficient
atmosphere of the more sacred phase
of life, at least in Washington, to
satisfy even the most religiously in
clined For instance, nothing could be
more fitting than the a capella con-
cert, at the Mayfiower tomorrow night,
with its program of sacred songs.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Hughes and 9TH
ers of official life are patronesses and
then there are such necessary events
as celebrating the birthday ami
versary of his ma jesty. King Fuad of
Egypt, when tomorrow officials of high
rank and diplomats must call at the
legation and congratulate Nicholas
Khalil Bey, charge d'affaires. on the
event. He will entertain more than
80 guests at luncheon.
Perhaps the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt never appear as more the
typical, high-class American hosts
than when celebrating some event,
and in the past week or 10 days they
have taken ample opportunity to show
their charms. Yesterday it was for
little Anna Eleanor Dall's birthday
anniversary party, earlier in the week
their own wedding anniversary and
the birthday anniversary of their son.
Mr.. John Roosevelt, and then the
birthday anniversary dinner for Rep
resentative Isabella Greenway. For
a time at least things will slow down
in the Executive Mansion while Pres
ident Roosevelt makes a journey away
for a little rest
Among the little big things that en-
gage Mrs. Roosevelt's time are those
like the luncheon at the Mayflower
tomorrow, when patrons and we'll
wishers Of the yet houndering Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra will feast
and chat together about the welfare OF
the organization. Mrs. Roosevelt
never speaks more eloquently than
when talking of music and art and
the substantial work she has done for
artists during the pressure Of hard
times will live after her. The Wom-
ems Committee, with Mrs. Tracy
Dows, chairman, is arranging the
luncheon and program and final ef-
fort to complete the sustaining fund

ter Bruce Howe is chairman. will be

Busy days await the members Of
the Congressional Club this week

wife of Senator Dill, president of the
club, and members Of the Executive
Board. A cooking school will break
the spell of the fashionable tea at

VETERAN FLAYS
SENATORS

One war veteran was evicted
from the Senate Office Building
by police today and another was
chased from the adjacent side
walk for distributing literature
as nearly 500 former service men
sought to petition Senators in the
interest of payment of the SOL
dier's bonus and two other points
of their program.
Aside from these incidents there
was no disorder.
The veteran evicted was taken
in hand by Capitol police as he
walked down a corridor shouting:
"The Senators are . bunch
Of buns"
He also accused police Of using
their clubs in evicting him, but
this was denied by the officers.
Another group of veterans who
called themselves "World War
veterans" today distributed
pamphlets among the men charg-
ing that the present bonus army
is headed by paid agitators" who
have communistic tendencies.
Incidentally, the veterans have
cancelled further meetings at the

they opened their convention

BANK PAY-OFF
COMPROMISE
IS RUSHED
Vote Assured Tomorrow Under
Special House Rule for
SteagaII Measure
BY ROGER HAWTHORNE

Prompt action of the House on
the Steagall bank deposit guar
anty bill, containing relief for de-
positors in closed banks, was as.
sured by the House Rules Com
mittee today.
The committee reported to the
House a rule which will bring the
measure up automatically tomor-
row for a vote.
Amendments Possible
Under the wording of the rule,
any amendment may be offered
during the two hours assigned for
debate.
The measure is the Administra-
tion compromise bill brought out
by the House Banking and Cur.
rency Committee late yesterday,
It authorizes the FDIC to expand
its capital five times through sale
of debentures.
This would give the corporation
a total capital of more than 1000
million dollars, half of which may
be used for purchase of frozen
bank assets, as corporation Off
cials direct. The remainder will
be kept intact to guarantee depos-
its up to $4,000 for another year.
These Government purchases
will enable banks to pay off de-
positors for closed accounts and
in many cases to reopen, the
same goal as the Mcleod bill.
The outstanding difference be,
tween the so-called Steagall bill
and the Mcleod bill is that the
former only authorizes" the re'
lief while the later directs" that
it be given. The Mcleod bill, too,
specifies that the assets shall be
evaluated and purchased by the
RFC instead Of the FDIC.
Douglass Makes Appeal
A countrywide appeal has been
made, meantime, by Representa-.
tive John j. Douglass CD of Mas.
sachusetts for the nation to insist
on passage of the Mcleod bill.
In a stirring radio address last
night Mr.. Douglas termed the
measure "a charter of justice for
ten million people" and declared
that only with its passage can

ON BUDGET

District citizens were assured
Of voice in local finances with
the announcement today by the
District Commissioners that hear
ings will be held next fall on the
local budget for the fiscal year
1896.
The plan announced by Com
missioner George E. Allen will
provide for a hearing before the
figures are sent to the Bureau of
the Budget.
The Commissioners do not plan
to make public their estimates,
but expect to suggest those Of
fered by department heads for
public comment.
Secrecy has surrounded the
actions of the Budget Bureau on
the local estimates and not until
the District appropriations bill
finally was reported to the House
did Washingtonians have any way
of knowing what their local gov
ernment was likely to spend
during the following fiscal year.
Under the new plan the esti-
maeos will be prepared as usual
and passed upon by the economy
committee. When they are sent
by that committee to the Commis-
Sioners the hearing will follow.
The Budget Bureau will have to
pass on the budget before it goes
to Congress. but at least. Com
missioner Allen feels, the views of
the citizens will be reflected in
the bill as sent to the bureau.

The young person should be

carefully noted. Records should
be kept and at the age of 81, or
even older, the career chosen.
He says:
at is not true that every man

would be happy, if the subject
was given sufficient care and

BOMB MAILER
HUNTED HERE

Possibility that the bomb
which yesterday manned a Post
Office examination clerk may
have been mailed from some
place in the District or neighbor-
ing States was being investigated
today by Government agents.
The case assumed international
aspects when it was learned that
postal agents are investigating the
theory that the Internal machine
was addressed to some person in
Czechoslovakia.
The fact that the bomb may
have been on its way to Czecho-
SloVakia developed when Myrton
L. Genung, ~, of the 2300 block
of F. st. N. w., dead letter office
clerk who was manned by the
explosion, told Government Of
ficials that was his recollection,
although he was not sure.
Officials of the postal inspec-
ton service were tracking down
the possibility that the bomb may
have been sent from some place
in the Washington postal division.
on the grounds that improperly
addressed letters from this area
are usually sent to the local dead
letter office.
At Casualty Hospital it was
said that Mr.. Genung, whose
hand and part of his forearm
were blown off and his face
mangled by the blast, was

ATTACK ON 2.
IS LAID To
ROBBERY
Affianced Couple Battle For
Life in Hospital at Fred
ericksburg, Va.
by Times Staff Correspondent

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, May
22-With the two victims at the
point of death in the Mary Wash
ington Hospital here, robbery
today was definitely ascribed as
the motive for the brutal attack
on Miss Fannie Kurz, 21, and
her fiance, Milton j. Brown, "a,
in Lovers Lane" in the Battle
field National Park Sunday night.
The victims were found un-
conscious yesterday. 18 hours
after the attack. their bodies
in a deep ravine close to their
parked car.
Youths Wallet Taken
Two developments strengthened
the robbery theory, Sheriff M. l..
Blaydes said. Mr.. Browns wallet
with $25 was taken by the at
tacker, and a colored thug, armed
with a pistol, had been encoun-
tered near the place where the
couple we're attacked.
The sheriff revealed that Henry
PraSse and Evalyn Cooper in
formed him they were parked
near Lovers Lane" Sunday night
around $50 o'clock.
The colored man approached
the car, drew the gun, and or
dered them to throw up their
hands. Just then a car drove up
and, frightened by the lights, the
thug fled.
Rewards Offered
With feeling running high be-
cause of the brutal attack, re-
wards totalling- 5000 were offered
for the capture of the thug. The
city council offered $100 and the
chamber of commerce a similar
amount.
Capt. B. w. Thompson, of the
Washington Homicide Squad, and
Detective Sergeant John Wise ar
rived in Fredericksburg this after
noon to investigate and deter
mine if the killing had any con-
nection with the Staying of A.
Paul Rice, killed Sunday night
near the Anacostia golf links.
Two Attacks Similar
Both attacks were made in a
similar manner, beating over the
head, presumably with club.
Authorities planned to go to a
CCC camp, located about 10 miles
from here, and question the mem
bers, many of whom have visited
in Fredericksburg and worked
around here.
Members of the girls family
secuted a theory that the attack
