SENATE GETS
HOUSE BILL
on LIQUOR
Minority Report Is Omitted;
Capper Plans to Offer Dis
pensary Substitute
Read the eight-column
editorial on the editorial
page.

With no minority report accom-
panying it, the District liquor con-
troll bill, calling for private licenS-
ing, was reported favorably to the
Senate today by the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
Senator Robert R. Reynolds,
Cd of North Carolina, submitted
the committee report and will be
in charge OF the bill when it is con-
sidered by the Senate, according
to Chairman William H. King CD
Of Utah, ....
Capper Plans Substitute
Senator Arthur Capper tR0
Of Kansas, explained that al
though he made no minority re-
port, a substitute calling for dis
tribution through Government dis
pensaries is now being drafted
and will be offered by him during
Senate consideration.
Senator King said he will vote
with Senator Capper for the Gov
ernment dispensary plan. but that
if that is voted down, he will give
his support to the bill as reported
by the committee.
Senator Key Pitman (D), of Ne
vada, president pro tenn of the
Senate, said the leadership of that
body had agreed that the District
liquor bill will come before the
Senate tomorrow. Passage is ex-
pected late tomorrow or WedneS-
day.
Dispensaries Face Defeat
Opinion on Capitol Hill is that
the diSpensary system cannot
win sufficient support to carry
it in the Senate due to the
strength which can be developed
by the uniting of the various
blocs in that body against it.
Joining the liberal vets who
oppose the diSpenSary system
from practically every angle, will
be those who refuse to see the
Government placed in the liquor
business, as the dispensary plan
would necesSitate.
Other Senators will vote for
the private licensing system
principle because it was recon-
mended and has been approved
by those agencies best qualified
to know the sentiment of the
Washington citizenry.

licensing plan was proposed by the

FAMED ORGANIST

Charles Widor, Church Artist, Succeeded By
 Marcel Dupre

Paris (UP)-A believer in the musical taste of the American public, Marcel Dupre has just suc- ceeded 90-year-old Charles Widor at the stops of Frances most fa- nous organ.
 Becoming official organist of the Church of Saint-Sulpice in the old part of Paris on the Left Bank, Dupre realizes an ambition of 20 years during which he has tried to emulate his world known prcde- cessor and tutor.
 The organ of Saint-Sulpice, famed for it's tone, is the largest in the country, having 100 stops. It is smaller. of course, than the 400 and 500 stop instruments which thunder in American movie cathedrals, but few in the world are as mellow.
 Famous concerts have been given on the St Sulpice organ, which was first built by Cliquot in 1781, being reconstructed and en- larged in 1862, by the master, Cavaille-Coll. For years, 1t has been the vehicle of Widor, who now has retired to devote his en- tire. time to composition and to his duties as perpetual secretary of the Fine Arts Academy.
 Dupre has given more than 400 concerts in the United States and Canada. He Is well known also for his appearances in Great Britain, Germany. Italy, Switzerland, Hol- land and Spain.
 Returning recently from a tour in the United States, Dupre said: |: T bring back with me the impress sion that Americans are passion ately fond of music and highly cultivated in that arty- I never was asked to change my programs, yet l always was well received. On the other hand, care little for their gigantic organs, playing which becomes a stunt"

 On me flying trapeze."
 The above lines will be brought to mind by the thousands who flock into Madison Square Garden tonight to welcome the good old Ringing Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus in it's 1894 debut. The lines are expected to be hummed when the acrobats of the air and the trapeze artists exhibit their daring stunts rehearsed through the winter months in Sarasota, Fla.
 Among the new features this year will be Clyde Beatty, worlds famous animal trainer, according to Dexter Fellows. MT. Beatty, who was married in September an- nounces the acquisition of four ti- gers, six lionesses and eight male lions, to make up the complete animal list of 47. MT! Beatty states that he hasn't been in the cage since January when he completed a vaudeville engagement but that his only worry was whether the anil mais will have forgotten each other.
 Yesterday the Garden was trans formed into beehive of activity as workmen began the construc- ton of poles, cables and wiring to l holdthe necessary equipment.
