OPERETTA SUNG
IN SCHOOL

An enthusiastic audience braved
the inclement weather last night
to hear Emmerich Kalman's "The
Dancing Princess" sung at Cen
trail High School by the Zalipsky
Opera Club.
The cast included Marjorie
King, Sylvia Shapiro, Donald
Helm, Helen Vasa, Eugene Suy-
CERT, John Herman, DR.. Charles
Gordon, Maurice Delaport, Milton
Schwartz, Maurine Mulliner, Vir-
ginia Barry, Charline Springsguth,
and Margaret EdmonSton.
The performance was staged
under the direction of Nine. Marie
Zalipsky. Theodore Bekefi ar
ranged the dances and Harold
Snyder was in charge of the stage
and lights.
"The Dancing Princess" is not
one of Kalman's first-rank oper-
ettas. Coming after "The Circus
Princess" and Countess Martha, :"
one is likely to surmiSe, and right
~, that "The Dancing Princess" is
an amateurish work, revived after
Kalman achieved fame as a Sec
ond Franz Lehar, which he is dis
tinctly not.

DECISIONS

Section SectiOn)
I stock in the Bank of the United

Of stock in the Bank of the United
States.
The plaintiff alleged that he
had determined the bank could
not continue; that it's liabilities
exceeded it's assets by more than
30,000,000. and that he had or.
dered it's liquidation.
Defendants pleas were in the
nature of a demurrer and the
courts action was in regard to the
plaintiffs demurrer to the de.
fendant's plea.
The plea raised the question as
to the insolvency of the institu-
ton and stated on information
and belief that since liquidation
had been ordered, the banks as
sets have enhanced in value to
the point where the deficiency has
been wiped out.
The demurrer to the plea and
the memorandum attached in
support stated that the New York
banking act goes even further
than the national banking act
in giving authority to the super
vising officer to determine sol
vency and liquidity. (Kennedy VS..
Gibson. IS U. S. 498 and line
of State cases in Connecticut and
Pennsylvania where the New
York banking superintendent was
plaintiff, were cited)
Determination of the Superin-
tendent that a bank is inSolvent
and cannot continue is final and
cannot be questioned. (Broderick

Justice Jennings Bailey sus-
tanned the plaintiffs demurrer to
the defendants pleas on May 10,

Hill, jr., represented the plaintiff
and W. Bissell Thomas, the de-
fendant.

D.C.TELEPHONE
CASE REOPENED.

Appeal of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company from
an order of the Public Utilities
Commission reducing local phone
rates 10 per cent was reopened to-
day before Justice Jesse c. Adkins
in District Supreme Court.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
William A. Roberts sent certified
copies of the recent United States
Supreme Court decision in the
Illinois Bell Telephone Company
case, which netted phone SUBJ
Scribers several millions of dollars
in reduced rates, to the court.
Attorney George P. Hoover,
counsel for the telephone COM
pany, then requested that the
local case be reopened to give him
an opportunity to explain the ef-
feet of the decision here. He con-
tended that the decision involved
'generalities" and had no immedi-
ate bearing on the local pro-
Ceeding.

THORP DENIES
JOB OFFER

Reports were current today at
the Department of Commerce that
DR.. willard L. Thorp, whose
nomination as director of the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce was withdrawn by
President Roosevelt following word
that the Senate would not con-
firm him, would be offered posi-
ton for which Senate confirma-
ton would not be necessary.
DR.. Thorp said, however, after
a conference today with Assistant
Secretary of Commerce John l..
Dickinson, that he had no init
nation to that effect. He had
turned in his resignation, he said,
and was awaiting the Presidents
action. Unless a successor is
named he would hold office until
the adjournment Of Congress.

Roy, the weaker of the pair,
died at an early hour today,
while Ross gained steadily in

while inside the apartment

the defense of his professional assist
ants. Whether he does or not, they
will be on the stump, arguing for the
new order of things.
Personal Popularity Involved.
The outcome of the election will be
interpreted as measuring the personal
popularity of the President with the
electorate. If the Congress goes
strongly Democratic, the party in
power will proclaim that the action
is an Endorsement of Roosevelt and
his program. It will be argued that
his hold on the people is unbroken.
If, on the other hand, the Republicans
make inroads in the House and Sen
ate, they similarly will contend that
it Is reputation of him and his efforts
They will insist the country has reg
istered its wish to return to a more
conservative conduct Of national af-
fairs, which only their party can
provide.
Mr.. Roosevelt's name, however, will
not appear upon the ballot. His
strength must be determined, if it is
to be determined, through the candi-
dates for Office who indorse his poll
cies. In some instances he will be
more popular and in other less popu-
lar than those who will bear his
standard. An uncertainty that wor-
ries not a few of the Democratic
members of Congress who aspire for
another term is that while he has
gained support in their home sections
since his Inauguration. they ap-
parently have been weakened.
This is because they have been un-

not going to interfere in the affairs
Of the other nations of the hem
isphere and he undoubtedly had in
mind particularly the forcible inter-
ference symbolized by the landing of
Marines He did not think the idea
through.
But if the landing of troops on for
eign soil is not intervention, what Is?
The most generally accepted defini-
ton is that of Hall, one of the au-
thorities on international law, who
says: Intervention takes place when
a state interferes in the relations of
two other states without the consent
of both or either of them, or when
it interferes in the domestic affairs
of another state irrespectively of the
will of the latter for the purpose of
either maintaining or altering the
actual condition of things within it."
Calvo's Definition.
We must always remember that the
writer's on international law when
giving a definition such as this. can
never speak ex cathedra; they have
no body of written laws from which
TO quote; their definitions are merely
personal attempts to explain what
they have deduced, from their study
of international relations, to be prac-
tically universally accepted custom,
and therefore law. Calvo, another au-
thority says: Intervention signifies
the interposition of one state in the

Business has been relatively quiescent
under the restrictions imposed upon 1t
during the last year. But self-pres-
ervation is the first law of nature.
The tendency is to strain against the
bonds that bind.
1t promises to make business vocal
and active. It already is producing
evidence that the Democratic party,
anticipating what business will do.
will raise anew the menace of the
money power" which endangers the
Nation and which it will slay if con-
tinued in power. AS time goes on. the
discussions in this and all other par
ticulars will filter through the 25,000,-
900 households over the country. All
the people will become temporarily
perhaps heatedly-argumenta
There is still another variation from
the campaigns that have gone be-
fore, promising political pyrotechnics.
1t has to do with the brain trust. !"
Those learned gentlemen have taken
the spotlight of national affairs since
the last election to an extent no one
anticipated back in 1882. They have
been the active and enthusiastic
sponsors of the more outstanding ex-
periments the administration has
made since that time.
Old line politicians, Democrats as
we'll as Republicans, if the truth be
told. object to their prominence and
their activity. The Republicans, if
not the Democrats, will speak their

well the firm and loyal friendship of
Mr. Hoover, knows that he was rapidly
removing possible causes of friction,
knows that his speeches in South
America were just as sincere as were
Mr.. Hulrs. They will not be deceived
by any assertions that when Mr..
Roosevelt tries to do exactly the same
things that Mr. Hoover tried to do
the things somehow become different
and more altruistic.
The more serious mistake was in
the intimation that the United States
would never intervene, if by inter-
vention is meant the landing of troops
for the protection Of American citi-
Zens. Never" is an impossible word
for any government to use on any
subject. Furthermore, according to
all the authorities on international
law. the landing of troops under the

America and in the Far East, is not
intervention at all.
Suspicion Unjust.
If one could possibly suspect the
Secretary of State of Machiavellian

Filipino Emigration
To Hawaii Is Opposed

HONOLULU. Hawaii.-After a brief
visit to Hawaii. Jose Figueras. labor
commissioner of the Philippines, has
returned to Manila with the state
ment that he will urge stopping of all
Filipino emigration to Hawaii and the
repatriation of unemployed Filipinos
now in the Hawaiian Islands.
His statement is discounted here
by the fact that there is no such
emigration. Sugar planters of Hawaii
have not been bringing in Filipino
labor for more than year and in the
last two years have, at the expense
of the planters, returned more than
10000 Filipino men, women and chill
dren to their homes. The policy Of
the planters is to offer jobs to unem-
ployed men who want to work, but in
the last few months a good many
Filipinos have refused to work, pre-
ferring to live on their savings.
