Gladys Swarthout and Nino
Martini received a series of ova-
tons yesterday afternoon in Con-
stitution Hall. Seldom do singers
arouse such enthusiasm as did
these famous Metropolitan Opera
stars.
Nino Martini, leading tenor Of
the Metropolitan, possesses a voice
that is rich and full even in the
higher tones. 1t is voice that is
masculine and not thin as are so
many So-called tenors.
Early in the program, the de-
mand for encores was evident
and Mr.. Martini sang Neapoli-
tan song, "Turna, surrrento,
following his programmed mum.
Der, Aria, o Paradise! from
"L'Africana."
At the conclusion Of Miss
Swarthout's second group, she
sang "Pioggia," by Respighi, as
her first encore. Miss Swarthout,
leading mezzo- soprano of tn e
Metropolitan, possess that type
Of voice which is rich and warm
yet flexible. There was no appar.
ent effort in taking the higher
tones and the effect of a full
floating jaw showed complete re-
taxation and control in using her
voice.
When the two combined ef-
forts to sing the duet from La
Gioconda," some of the effect
was destroyed because Mr.. Mar
TIM unwittingly caused a no.
ticeable echo when he held the
book. from which he was sing

ties Of Constitution Hall, the
greatest care should be observed
to prevent such echoes.
The tuneful nature of the final
duet. "Ai nostri monti," from I'll
Trovatore," the theme of which is
shown above, was repeated at the
insistence of the audience. Miss
Swarthout was accompanied on
the piano by Edwin Macarthur, who
has been heard several times with
other artists. His services as &C.
companiSt are in such demand
that he left at the end Of Miss
Swarthout's last group to take a
plane for a later engagement.
Miguel Sandoval gave a careful
and sympathetic accompaniment
for Mr.. Martini's numbers and
also the duet numbers. Both Miss

journey to Hollywood within a
month where they will start work

tity by 8 per cent, and in value
by n per cent. This figure, 2,133

because of the devaluation Of the

Import quantities remained about
the same, but the value, 1855
million dollars, was IA per cent
above the total for the preceding
year. DR.. Taylor reported:
international Service trans
actions, including interest and
dividend items, resulted in esti-
mated net cash claims by for

million dollars, thus leaving this
country a creditor on balance Of
approximately 375 million dol

In effect, approximately 10 per

Alderman Slater said he was

Possibility that the summer con-

phony Orchestra will start June
80 was seen today as officials
of the symphony and the Musi-
clans Union ironed out their diff
ferences.
DR.. Hans Kinder, director of

the union agreed to allow him to
bring in an assistant concert mas
ter and first flutist.
The symphony, on the other
hand, agreed to hold additions to
try out Washington musicians for
several vacancies in the orches-
ira, rather than bring in must
clans from other cities. It was
understood, however, that in event
local musicians do not come up
to the standard required that the
outsiders will be permitted to play
with the orchestra.
Additions for the vacant places
will be held within the next few
days, and it is hoped that the
summer concerts will start this
month. The plan is for the or
chestra to play from barge

D. {. TAX PLANS
HIT HOLDING
COMPANIES
Roberts Donovan-Richards
Would Permit District to
Finance Own Utilities

A complete turnabout in taxa,
ton Of public utilities, banks
steam railroads and other cor
porate enterprises in the District
was recommended today to the
House District Committee in re-
port signed by Peoples Counsel
William A. Roberts, District Audi
tor Daniel j. Donovan and Tax
Assessor William P. Richards.
The report was filed personally
with the committee by Mr.. Rob
erts and includes three separate
bills covering this taxation which
the committee suggests be substi-
tuted for the measures now before
the Senate and House.
Follow the President
Foremost in the recommendations
is one suggesting an attempt to
tax out of business the holding
companies controlling the District
utilities.
Calling attention to the Presi-
dents message to Congress in
which he declared useless holding
companies must go, the report
states:
mot Oe of the holding COM
pany operations above named is
essential to the coordination,
financing or indignation of the
splendidly coherent local utility
operations.
Nothing but good would re-
suit fro man indignation of the
corporate structures and the
dispositions of the investments
into local hands. Washington
is adequately able to finance
and operate its own utilities"
It was pointed out in the report
that aside from the holding COM
pany provisions the redraft of the
taxation bills follows the theory
of a 4 per cent tax on gross re-
ceipts and a 6 per cent tax on the
net corporate revenues. It was es-
timated that under these meas
ures the income of the District
government would be raised by
$1,306,000.
Paid Less In 1888
In connection with these figures,
the report points out that in 1888
the gas companies, electric-light
companies and the street railroad
and telephone companies in the
District paid $950,000 less taxes
than they would have had had
they been taxed on their property
within the District at the rate ap-
plicable to real property.
It was also pointed out that
street railway merger of 1888 up
set the schedules of the companies
involved to such an extent that
the new bills will be necessary to
reach appropriate tax on the rev.
enues producing units of these
utilities.
In connection with the taxation
of banks the report reviews the
changes that have occurred in the
banking situation in the District
as it has changed throughout the
country and suggests an entirely
new system for taxation.
The new legislation proposes
that a confidential report be made
on all deposits and that mill
take be substituted instead of the
present 5 mill tax and this be paid
directly from the deposits by the
bank.
