Sorry to keep We waitin',
sir. OH Good afternoon,
Colonel Tomlin. How are ye?"
The customer stood near
the doorway. staring at Louis
in a furious fashion.
MY name" he cried ar
rogantly, "is Colonel Jones'
Tomlin.
Louis smiled ingratiatingly
then flicked the surface of the
table by the door with
napkin and said in a soothing
tone:
"Begob! That's right, Colo
mel. I'm always forgettin' the
Jones. Colonel Jones-Tomlin,
and a fine name it is, too.
Will ye have the usual?"
The customer asked in
menacing tone:
What exactly do you
mean by the usuale"
Louis gaped at the colonel
for a moment, in a pretended
attitude of apologetic awe;
but he was saying to himself
as he gaped:
bad luck to the impu-
dence of that silly codger.
He owes me damn near five
quid in drinks over the past
ten years an then he gives me
dogs abuse. Why don't |
take him be the seat O. the
pants an chuck him out?"
However, he smiled ingra-
tiatingly. "Ah! sure, an un-
educated man like mesel' has
a poor way of expressin'
himself. Sure, l meant that
ye always have a whiSkey an
soda. Ye've been a regular
customer here for fifteen
years or more"
"Are you aware" inter-
rupted the colonel furiously,
that it's been three months
since was here last?"
Faith, That's right. / -"
"For goodness sake" said
the colonel. sitting down to
the table, stop your chatter
and fetch that whiskey."
"Yes, SIR"
As he darted from the
room, Louis glanced at the
clock. 1t was ten minutes past
four. Only twenty minutes
to come to a decision and
make a bet!

BY the Associated Press.
SAN JOSE, Calf, March 8.-Events
that followed the death Of Allene
Lamson in her Stanford University
campus home were brought out today
in the second trial of David A. LAM
son. charged with his wife's murder.
Neighbors of the Lamsons yesterday

lowing the discovery Of Allene's nude
body in her bathtub, on Memorial
day. 1888
Explaining she had gone to the
Lamson home on the fateful day to
show it to clients, Mrs. Julia Place,
Palo Alto real estate agent. said she
went to the back of the house and
found Lamson close to bonfire with
q hoe or a rake in his hand.
The State has charged that In the
bonfire was 10-inch piece Of iron
pipe Lamson used to kill his wife to
end an unhappy marriage. The DE-
fense has insisted Mrs. Lamson died Of
injuries received when she accidentally
slipped in the bathtub.
"Lamson said he would 60 through
the house and let us in," Mrs. Place
continued He went into the house
and after few minutes we heard a
peculiar noise. Several minutes later

ANTI-ALIEN LAND BILL
HELD PROBABLY ILLEGAL
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHOENIX, AriZ., March S.-An
anti-alien land bill pending before
the Arizona House of Representatives
probably is unconstitutional, the Ju-
dietary Committee of that body re-
ported in releasing the bill today.
The committee proposed an amend
ment which would entitle aliens to
such rights "as may be granted by
treaty between the United States" and
other countries as well as rights de-
fined in treaties which already exist.
The bill denies ineligible aliens the
right to own, lease. manage or culti-
vate lands in Arizona or to be en-
ployed as laborers until they have
registered with the secretary OF state.

CHAl|AP|N URGES
OPERA IN ENGLISH
Noted Russian BaSS0 Sees
Need of Nationally Spon-
S0red House in u. S.

Americans should adopt the ma
tional pride of other countries and
insist upon hearing their operas in
English, sung in a nationally sup
ported opera house. in the opinion of
Feodor Chaliapin, noted Russian
basso, who is to appear in concert at
the National Theater Sunday.
IF were an American" Chaliapin
said, Il should be the first to begin
fight to establish an opera house
and a department of arts.
"You Americans are too modest. In
Russia, if we wish to play "Rigoletto."
it is played in Russian; in Italy Boris
Goudonoff" is sung in Italian; the
Germans sing Carmen" in German.
So it is in each country; except IN
rare circumstances opera Is given In
the tongue of the listeners"
No Foundation Laid.
In America, however, the Russian
star observed, there has not been even
the beginning of a concerted effort to
lay down the foundations Of a ma
tional art, with native artists, in the
native tongue.
yet we all admit" he said, that
understanding the action Of the song
will double the pleasure Of the hearer.
why are operas and foreign songs
sung, as a rule, in foreign languages
in America? Sometimes this may be
necessary, but generally, certainly
not" With radio having advanced
music so far, why Is not something
done to establish traditions Of your
own country.
Time for Action Seen.
"In 1907. when I first visited Amer
lea, could see some reason for in
activity. Although Americans un-
ouestionably knew what was good IN
music, they perhaps were not then
sufficiently developed to begin to build
their own musical institutions. Now 1t
is different. Developments have been
made during these years; artists have
grown, audiences have learned. In
stead of leaders in America beginning
a good fight now to start national
opera house, and to use radio to help
in that purpose, they are content to
wait. Why?"
1T is rather obvious that national
opera houses in the countries OF
Evening star., 1935-03-08

Europe have done an immense amount
Of good, not only from the point OF
view of audiences, but also in the de-
veIopment of artists. composers, stage
craftsmen, and laboratory workers.
The danger of political exploitation, OF
course. as in all countries, is great;
but this should certainly be no deter
rent in going ahead"

Indicated

WASHINGTON. May IS. Up Ad-
ministration officials wer reported
Saturday to have assured labor
leaders the wage scales recently an
nounced for the 100000. 900 work
relief fund would be applied only to
the real emergency work" and that
prevailing wages would be paid un-
der the 81, 600, 900 900 to be expended
for buildings and highways.
The $40 to s94 a month wage
scale recently announced by the ad-
ministration was the subject OF a
conference between officials in
charge Of the program, Secretary

labor.
IT was reported later from labor
sources the officials had given labor
four assurances:
4. That the scale would only apply
to real emergency work such as
recreational Fairgrounds. parks and
projects OF this nature"
2. That exceptions would be made
when the scale would in any way
tend to tear down existing wage
levels and a board would be set up
to handle complaints.
8. That the $1,000, 000. 600 for
buildings and highways would be ex-
pended under the Bacon-Davis pre-
vailing wage law.
4. That the security - or lower
would only be paid where la
Dor was employed directly by the
government and contractors we're
not involved.
Senator McCarran D-Nev), who
was a leader in the fight against the
lower wage scale, commented the
assurances would "help some" but
expressed the view they had been
offered 70 dissolve" the opposition.
