Picture at Circle Handled
More AdroitIy Than
Silent Film.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

II We aren't mistaken there are
going to be lot Of orange-crate
swords flashing around Indianapolis
backyards next week, with local
"d'Artagnans' attempting to emu
late the gaIlantry and skill Of the
original, whose exploits are featured
in The Three MuSketeers' at the
Circle
And to those who are too old TO
make swords out of orange crates,
the ring Of steel on steel will bring
back the memory of the silent
days when Douglas Fairbanks

The current picture has been
handled much more adeptly than
the clumsy silent film. The scenes
are fewer, yet the story told more
adrotly.
Seeks Adventure
There are few who don't recall the
tale Of the fiery young Gascon,
d'Artagnan, who, taking his fathers
decrepit nag, "Charlemaigne," his
fathers sword and his fathers
famous name, sets out for Paris.
Within an hour he has challenged
to duel de Rochefort, the famous
traitor, whom he meets on the road.
An hour after he gets to Paris he
has challenged "the three" Muske
tecrS, Porthos, Athos and AramiS,
arranging to meet them at hourly
intervals.
The Cardinal Richeleus guard
finds the men duelling, and chal-
lenges them. SO expert is d'Artag-
mans sWordmanship, that the three
take unto themselves a fourth. They
rOut the Cardinals men and
d'Artagnans fun begins.
Takes Part in Politics
His part in the politics of France
and England, ferreting out the plots
against the King and Cardinal, his
romance with Constance, lady-in-
waiting to the Queen. his trip with
the other MusketeerS to England for
the Queens brooch, play part in
the story.
The most exciting and realistic
scenes are those showing the three,
Aramis, PorthOs and Athos pursuing
and capturing the coach in which
their companion, dArtagnan, is be-

3 EXPERTS SOUGHT.
TO DRAW PLAN FOR
STADIUM Project
Formal Request Expected
in Forthcoming Report
to Ickes.
TRAFFIC PHASE OF
SITUATION STUDIED
Finnan Including Armory and
Big Drill Field in Structure on
East Capitol Street.

Secretary Ickes will be asked soon
to approve the employment of an
engineer, an architect and landscape
architect as expert consultants to
draw up plans for the proposed sta
dium at the end of East Capitol street,
it was learned today.
c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
of the National Capital Parks. who
heads a special committee that is
studying the stadium project, expects
to have his report ready within a
couple of weeks and make definite
recommendations to the cabinet officer.
The stadium is being projected to
seat 100000 people. This will give
rise to a traffic problem which the
Finnan Committee is considering thor
oughly. Finnan's group is hopeful Of
reaching a final decision before the
$4,880, 100000 public works BILL now
being considered by the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee, is passed by
Congress.
Employees of Finnan's Office have
laid the ground work for the study,
inasmuch as the Public Wos;;s Ad-
ministration allocated $4,000 for the
preliminary work. The Finnan Com
mittee will include plans for an
armory for the District National
Guard in the project. In addition, a
large drill field, suitable for National
Guard, Army and other maneuvers
will be a part of the development.
The land, overlooking the Anacostia
River. recently was transferred by the
United States engineer Office to the
National Capital Parks Office.

Convinced that many violators are

During the recent week the spot

greatest number in single week

So far, it was pointed out, not a

traffic violations. The law-breaking
motorists who are reported by OBJ

LAWYERS OPPOSE
MEASURE
Company Attorneys Voice
Objection to Proposed
Appeal Methods.

For two and one-half hours today
attorneys representing the various
public utilities of the District outlined
their objections to the bill supported
by the corporation counsel and the
peoples counsel to determine a new
method of appeal from decisions of the
Public Utilities Commission. The
hearing was conducted by the Sub
committee on Public Utilities of the
House District Committee.
Two main objections to the proposed
legislation were given by spokesmen
for the public utilities. One was that
it undertakes to make" the finding
of fact by the Public Utilities Com
mission conclusive on the court on
appeal. Another is that it attempts
to make the appeal under the statues
the exclusive remedy depriving the
court from giving judicial review on
a bill in equity" Both of these to-
gether, it is argued, would deprive the
one making an appeal of due process
of law and is therefore unconstitu-
tional.
Acts in Legislative Capacity.
Corporation Counsel Prettyman ex-
planned that under the present law
when an appeal is taken to the Dis
trict Supreme Court that court acts
in a legislative capacity and issues
whatever order it deems proper. He
said the bill under consideration pro-
posed to change this procedure so the
action of the court will be judicial
review, not receiving any additional
evidence The scope of its review
would be on questions of law and he
cited the new Federal radio act as an
example of what he sought which has
been approved by the United States
Supreme Court.
Prettyman was assisted by Ray
Sparks, assistant corporation counsel.
William A. Roberts, Peoples Coun-
sci, indorsed the bill and was assisted
by Harry S. Wender, representing the
Southwest Washington Citizens Asso-
citation. Thomas Lodge, chairman OF
the Law and Legislative Committee OF
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, appeared in support Of this bill.
Utilities Represented.
The public utilities were represented
at the hearing by John Koons, vice
president of the Chesapeake & Poto-
mac Telephone Co.; r. A. Van Orsdel,
general counsel for the telephone COM
pany; George Hoover, counsel for the
telephone company locally, who also
represented the Washington Rapid
Transit Co.; G. T. Dunlop, counsel
for the Capital Transit Co.; S. r.
Bowen, representing the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co.; Gen. Horton, repre-
senting the Washington Gas Light
Co., and John Bruton, attorney for

Quoting the hearing were Representa-
tives Carpenter, Kansas; Ellenbogen,

their desire to get this bill before the

lob INSURANCE
BILL INTRODUCED
D. C. Measure Drawn With
Cooperation of Commit
tee to Be Model.

What is designed to be a model
unemployment insurance bill for the
District of Columbia, drawn up with
the cooperation of the Presidents
Committee on Economic Security, and
intended to be guide for legislation
in the various States, was introduced
today by Representative Ellenbogen,
Democrat, Pennsylvania, a member of
the House District Committee.
He explained that this bill embodies
the latest findings and recommended
tions of the Presidents committee,
and was prepared after months of in
tensive study of the most modern
methods of administering unemploy-
ment insurance benefits.
Opportunity for District.
Ellenbogen said this measure would
give the District an opportunity to
lead the whole country in setting up
a working model" of unemployment
insurance.
Under the terms of the bill, no con-
tributions are to be made by employees
to the Insurance fund. These will
come from per cent pay roll tax
assessed against all employers of four
persons or more and would be supple
mented by a contribution from the
District of one-third of the amount
raised by the tax. He estimates the
number Of employees in the District
eligible under this plan at 1900 to
$500 and figures the annual revenues
for the fund would amount to
$4,000,0 900.
Plan for Benefits.
Ellenbogen contemplates payment
of unemployment benefits for a maxi
mum of 26 weeks a year after a wait
ing period of three months The ben
eflciaries would receive 40 per cent
of his average weekly salary with an
additional 10 per cent for a depend
ent husband or wife and per cent
for each dependent child. The total
benefits permitted would be SIS week
