AZALEAS DRAW
BIC CROWDS

With a special azalea exhibit at
the U. S. Botanic Garden enter
ing its sixth week, today finds
these fragrant blooms at their
best. The exhibit occupies almost
the entire right wing of the build
ing and is commanding the ad-
miration of hundreds of enthu-
siastic visitors daily.
While the azalea display holds
the center of the stage there at
present, numerous other plants
come in for their share of the
visitors attention.
Preening themselves within this
glass-domed structure in the
shadow of the Capitol are stately
palms and giant ferns which
thrive as we'll as when rooted in
their native jungle. The par
ticular pride of Wilmer j. Paget,
assistant director of the Botanic
Garden, is a mammoth fern sci
entifically branded with the name
of Angiopteris Evecta. When Mr..
Paget first became connected with
Uncle Sans dollhouse, "a years
ago, "Angie" was a mere STRIPPING
of a shrub-not quite IL inches
in height.
Today he Grapes his rambling
self over the garden floor in an
eightfoot radius, and displays a
mass of foliage that renders Mr.
Paget's reminiscent description
of Angles" infancy tale diff
cult to believe.

5000 FACE SUIT
ONFA|LURE To
PAY TAXES
Mandamus Action Prepared
To Compel Payments
Due for 1884, 1885

Mandamus proceedings against
5000 District residents were be-
ing prepared by the corporation
counsels office today to compel
payment of personal property
taxes for 1884 and 1885.
Action was filed in the District
Supreme Court today against 10
persons to force them to show
cause for not filing returns.
The legal writs call for the
appearance of the delinquents in
court on or before May IS to
give an account of personal prop
erty holdings.
In the event that they cannot
excuse their delinquency a 20
per cent penalty, an $11 man
damus fee and a l per cent a
month interest fee penalty will
be charged against them.
Personal tax returns must be
filed on jewelry, stocks, bonds,
and bank deposits. Returns are
required of all District residents,
but legal action will be instituted
only against persons known to
possess property.
It is expected that the legal
steps taken today will spur a
number of delinquents to make
proper returns. If the returns
are filed in time the mandamus
actions will be dropped.

LAW RULE
CONTESTED IN
ALEXANDRIA
Appeal Due; Closing Violations
Will Be Checked; City's
Power Defended

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 25
Beer and wine dealers in Alex
andria continuing sale of these
beverages after midnight will be
doing so at their own risk, despite
the opinions of Judge James Dun.
can, of the Alexandria Police
Court, and Judge Walter Nc
earthly, of the Circuit Court, that
the ordinance regulating their
hours is invalid, City Attorney
Carl Budwesky said today.
Mr.. Budwesky said the Circuit
Courts decision would be ap
pealed to the State Supreme
Court and any violators of the
ordinance before the case is set
tied will be brought into court If
the Supreme Court reverses the
decisions Of the lower courts.
Case To Go Into Fall
The first steps in the appeal
will be a formal application for
a writ of error from the appeal
court. If the writ is granted the
case will be placed on docket for
argument and probably will be
heard in the fall.
In declaring the city ordinance
invalid, the opinions stated that
the State Alcoholic Beverage Con
troll Board had reserved all legis
lative powers pertaining to the
sale of these beverages and that
the city was without power to
adopt an ordinance regulating
the hours.
City'S Power Defended
Mayor E. c. Dawson and a
number of the city councilmen
contend that the State constitu
ton gives municipalities power tc
adopt ordinances to improve the
general police activities OF the
city.
The ordinance was adopted on
recommendation of Captain OF
Police John S. Arnold, who told
the council members that most
of the disorder reported at night
occurred after midnight.

LOSE
Z0N|NG FIGHT

Overriding the protests of two
church congregations and civic
petitions, the District Zoning Com
mission today permitted the re-
zoning of an area in the 1900
block Monroe st. N. W., to allow
construction of an apartment
house.
Representatives of the Sacred
Heart Church and the Gunton
Temple Memorial Presbyterian
Church appeared at two public
hearings and filed objection to the
change of coming on the grounds
that it would affect the religious
atmosphere of the neighborhood.
Supporting the protest, the Mt.
Pleasant Citizens Association pre-
Sented a petition signed by resi-
dents of the area asking that the
change be refused.
In the rezoning order, the Com
mission changed the status of a
25foot frontage which would al
low the owners to add the prop
erty to a frontage already Zoned
as class C.
However, the Commission did
not permit the rezoning of a IS
foot frontage adjacent to the
Sacred Heart Convent. This strip
of land, the Commission held, will
serve as a buffer between the
convent and the apartment house.
The Commission also denied the
appeal to rezone a section of the
north side of the Monroe Street
stretch.

THEATER HERE
PROPOSED
Federal Aid in Raising Plane
of Drama Sought BY
Mackaye, Sirovich

Establishment of a national
theater in Washington was urged
today before the House Committee
on Patents by Percy Mackaye, a
dramatist and author of wake
field" the festival pageant pro.
duced here during the Washing
ton Bi-centennial.
Headed by Representative Will
liam I. Sirovich CD of New York,
himself a dramatist, the commit
tee is conducting hearings on a
bill to establish a Department of
Science, Art and Literature.
Better Art, His Goal
Mr.. Mackaye declared the goal
of a theater freed from the neces-
sity of making money and estab-
lished directly for the production
of art for arts sake has been a
dream fostered ever since the
stage began it's tumultuous career
in this country.
He said one of the things most
important to the development of
true art in the theater was the
fostering of the relationship
among play, actor, and audience
that can be obtained only on the
stage.
He contrasted this relationship
with the work of the film indus
try, where the sequences are I'M
rolled in reel after reel, oblivious
to the applause or temper of the
audience.
SirOvich Backs Plan
Mr.. Mackaye's proposal won in
slant support from Representa-
tive Sirovich and j. Anthony
Atchison, Washington sculptor.
Representative Sirovich said:
"TOday we have to cater to
the gutter with SensuOuS, v0Iup-
tuOuS plays. 1 think we should
have a theater where the light
Of young genius can aspire to
see his work carried out as he
envisiOned it, not as it is re-
written by a producer who has
eyes only for the box office.
II hope in the future to see
the great plays of this country
produced in a national theater
in Washington"
Mr.. Atchison, who preceded Mr..
Mackaye on the stand, gave his
full support to the measure on
the ground that it would take
greed out of the culture of this
country. He said:
"This bill holds a torch to
light the path of art"

D. {. LOAN PLAN

An attempt was to be made
today by the conferees to settle
the House-Senate controversy
over the proposal to authorize
the District to borrow 100000
from the Public Works Admins
tration for making repairs at
the Children's Hospital here.
The provision was inserted by
the House in a bill authorizing
the District borrow between
$2,8OO,O0O and 100000 for con-
struction of the first unit of the
municipal center project. This
court item is not in dispute,
both Houses having approved it.
After the Children's Hospital
item was inserted in the bill by
the House, the Senate refused
to agree to it and sent it to
conference.

"WHAT PRICE DOWRY"

WHAT PRICE DOWRY"
Looks like Italy celebrated a
Roman Holiday on Easter Mon
day, when 2,2O6 couples were
married to win those 5OO.lire
prizes offered by the FascistS.
That 500 lire sounds like a
lot of money, but, strange to
say, when its reduced to Ameri.
can dollars. . it figures out to
just about the price of a baby
carriage.
OF course, to the men in the
United States, it sounds sort Of

CHARGE
To Be HEARD
FRIDAY
Physical Culture Exponent De-
MES He Is Doctor; Gives
His Views

Prof. Paul C. Bragg, writer and
lecturer on health subjects, will
defend his teachings in Police
Court Friday before Judge Ralph
Given. Arraigned today following
his arrest in the Masonic Temple
auditorium last night, he waived
his right to a jury trial.
Accompanied by his financial
secretary, Miss June Day, and his
attorney, Herbert r. Grossman.
the lecturer after his arraignment
indicated that he would be Eek
hibit A" for the defense.
Less than six feet tall and
weighing about 100 pounds, the
health culturist, ruddy as an ath-
lete, supplied surprise after sur
prise for his intervieWers. Al,
though his appearance would in
dictate that he is in his early
thirties, the professor admitted
that he is in the dangerous
forties."
Natural Living"
Natural living is his forte, he
expounded. He explained that he
had just returned from the South
Sea Islands, where he observed
at close range the last natural
race of people on earth. He called
them the most perfect. His refer
ence was to the PolyneSianS-not
on those islands which have been
stricken with the blight of the
white mans civilization, but the
remote islands where the faint
has not reached.
But he had been a health
culturist for many years before
his Polynesian visit, he said, and
exhibited magazine articles and
lecture manuscripts to show that
he is a contributor to physical
culture publication and one of its
associate editors.
While unwilling to go into the
specific charge confronting him
practicing the healing arts with
out a license-Professor Bragg
earnestly avowed that he has
never been interested in the cure
of disease and has confined all
his efforts to the preservation
of natural health. He said:
81 am a teacher who is mis-.
understood only by certain
people. Out of my 400 students
not one has anything but
praise. 1 am teaching people
how to be healthy and
haven't anything to do with
disease. 1 do not undertake to
cure anybody.
81 teach them to have ma
tural health through proper
foods, deep breathing, physical
culture and personal hygiene"
SHOWS DIPLOMA
Although he made no claim to
the title of professor" the
health lecturer exhibited his di.
ploma of graduation from the
American School of Naturopathy
and a degree emitting him to
teach physical culture subjects.
He also has papers indicating he
has lectured on hygiene and
health in the New York and
California public schools.
The lectures which, the District
government claims, have Melted
the defendant as much as $4,000
in a single week, will be discon-
tinued while the case is pending.
Meanwhile the methods by which
the District Commission on Licen-
sure obtained the information
against the professor" were re-
vealed for the first time.
