which he is charged.
Sergeant Wise, who had also
questioned Miss Lyttle's sister,
Esther, %, and other persons in
connection with the shooting all
day yesterday, was the first to
testify. He told the jury Of six
men that the slain girl had re.
fused to deliver the two notes to
Mrs. Hisey, or to accept a gift OF

from a "boy friend"
He declared further-on the
basis of Hisey's story to him fol-
lowing his arrest-that the money
was not the real cause of the quar-.
rel which ended in tragedy. Hisey
told him the refusal of the money
was the "only thing he had
against the girl" the detective
narrated, and that the gun went
off while he was trying to force
her to take the notes to his wife

WASHINGTON, March s.
America today is paying for failure
to join the World Court and at
tempt to end international anarchy,
by having to finance an increased
army budget, in the opinion of both
Indiana Senators.
The army appropriations bill was
raised more than 20 millions in the
Senate and both Senators Frederick
VanNuys and Sherman Minton
voted for the increases.
Since we have refused interna-
tional cooperation by our World
Court vote failure" Senator Van
Mugs explained, lit is only sensible

Both Senators voted for United
States entry to the court
1--WE are now in the midst of in
ternational anarchy and chaos and
we must be prepared to face the
consequences" Senator Minton de-
clared.
He also admitted that the need
for army protection in case of in
creased internal diSsension and the
danger of riots may have been an
"undiscussed factor" in the in
creaSeS.
"One Senator commented thatoif
we faced serious trouble at home
our present army wouldn't be large
enough to put out a good size fire"
Senator Minton said.

MONTGOMERY PLAYERS
GIVE "BIRD IN HAND"
Comedy Entertains Large Audi
ence at Leland Junior
High School.

IF THE Montgomery Players did not
have a reputation as one of the
best of the acting groups in Washing
ton and vicinity, there probably
would be no cause for critical COM
ment on their production of John
Dinkwater's Bird in Hand" Satur-
day night at Leland Junior High
School in Chevy Chase, Md, but as
long as they have, and are proud of.
reputation for almost professional
proficiency in producing their plays,
they'll have to be judged accordingly.
The comedy entertained large
audience, however, make no mistake
about that, and was much more sue
ceSsful than was the groups first ven-
ture of the season, few weeks ago,
which never quite came of.
Certain of the players. though, were
good only up to a certain point, and
performed with q bit Of a stiffness
which would not let them get COM
pletely into character. This would
not be so bad, perhaps, except for the
fact that all of them exhibited certain
signs of ability which indicated they
could have done a bit better. Other
marks on the debit side of the ledger
must be chalked up for the unduly
long wait before the curtain rose, and
for what seemed like too long a wait
for scene changes at both intermis-
sions.
The red entries in the book were
more than balanced, however, by the
performances of Robert Warfleld, j.
A. Bishop and Frederick M. Kerby.
These three chaps practically carried
the play, in the roles of the three
guests at the Bird in Hand" Inn,
who Strengthened things out between
the innkeeper and his daughter.
Mr.. Warfield turned in practically
a stellar performance. He is at home
on a stage, he has poise. he knows
how to deliver lines, and his English
accent Saturday night was just right,
all of which made his presence more
than welcome.
Mr.. Bishop, the first of the three to
enter the play, brought life into it

the ways Of comedy. His candle
lighting scene at the end of the first
act, and, in the next act, his embar-
rassment at being discovered in long
nightgown, and later temperance
with frock coat over the nightgown,
were high lights Of the plays COM
edy. Mr.. Kerby did a successful Eng
nsh barrister in a pleasantly natural
manner.
Clifton A. whyte won applause for
a couple of his better scenes, playing
the stolid and stiff British innkeeper
well, though perhaps mite too
stiffly at times. The others were
Betty Chase, Doris Dewey Day, How
ard Bandy who'll be better when he
forgets his hands,, and David p.

A PIANO recital by Winifred Nc
Gregor Michaelson, Saturday eve
ming at Barker Hall, brought out a
sympathetic audience to welcome the
young player Miss Michaelson's pro-
gram included Three Sonatas, G
Major, G Minor and A Major" by
Scarlatti: Variations and Fugue on
a Theme by Handel, Op. "a" by
Brahms, and group of Chopin, made
up of "Impromptu in F Sharp Major, "
'Etude Op. 25. No. 12," "Etude Op.
10, No. S." "Berceuse" and "Scherzo
in B Minor"
The young artist showed herself a
profound and serious student of her
instrument and its literature. She
has well developed sense of line and
color, deft fingers, with a velvety
touch at proper moments, and great
strength when needed. Her absorp-
ton in the full exposition of her idea
is noteworthy, although at times it
prevents a more spontaneous play of
feeling.
The three different types of compo-
sition on her program allowed her a
display of her fine appreciation of
style, and her classic reserve in the
Scarlatti sonatas was matched by the
delicate exuberance with which she
played Chopin.
Miss Michaelson, recently returned
from several months work with Tobias
Matthay in London, and now director
Of the Wilmington Music School,
Wilmington, Del, is a pianist with
the type of talent that is marked for
still greater undertakings.
