Max Rabinoff's production Of
Verdi's grand opera, Ia Ira

Constitution Hall tonight, at $3.50
o'clock is arousing not only the
attention and cooperation Of
social and music folk but also
of professional artists in the
dramatic field.
Both Phil Baker, comedian, and
Rubinoff, the brilliant violinist,
are keenly interested in this
event and especially in the debut
locally Of Eds de Philippe, the
little soprano native to Manhat-
tan, who will sing the leading
role in the opera, that of Violetta,
the courteSan.
Rubinoff has q box for the
opera and will sit there between
his own engagements at another
theater here. Phil Baker also
will share Rubinoff's box and has
wired Mrs. Baker, who has been
comfortably enjoying Florida sun
shine during the recent snow
storm here, to take the train and
come north, snow or no snow,

"Dear Mark" writes
Frank Hawker. "Here's a
little story that you should
certainly be able to use. It's
absolutely true-and it hap
pened only a week or so ago.
Down in the Court Of General
Sessions, a young man from the
West Side was up on a burglary
charge. He had no counsel, be-
cause he claimed that he was
too poor to hire an attorney. SO
the court assigned a lawyer to
defend him.
''Now, these lawyers, as you
doubtless know, are not guar
anteed any money for these
assignments. They take the
client, and then get whatever
they can for their services. And
they usually discuss finances as
early as possible.
"This case was no exception.

about the situation almost i'm.
mediately.

The West Slider nodded.
Correct he chirped. II amt
got 50 much as the price Of a
package of cigarettes

That's nothing he OBJ
served lightly. Nothing at all.
I do my best for my clients,
even if they haven't a penny.
But-er-you no doubt have q
father or mother with a little
money. Or perhaps a brother

money for your defenSe?"

ROOSEVELT HINTS
RELIEF FUND CUT
Tells Educators He Hopes They
Will Limit Pleas to Rea-
sonable Sum.

A strong hint that relief expendi-
lures for the coming year would be
reduced was given by President Roose-
welt yesterday during an informal talk
with a group of State educational
superintendents from 81 different
States. who have been in conference
here
The President told the educators
the Federal Government had been as
liberal as possible in handing out
money for educational purposes dur
ing the emergency period and that
ne actually had stretched the law in
the matter Of spending in the interest
of teachers and schools. He hoped
the educators would cooperate with
the administration in the future and
not demand more than is reasonable.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that while he
felt the necessity for reducing the re-
lief expenditures, he had reason to
know that education throughout the
country had suffered probably more
than anything else during the period
of the depression.

Philippine Republic Of 1898, and other
scenes. He shows the visitors the bal
cony from which the independence
proclamation was read and points out
the giant tree in his yard which used
to serve as an observation post from
which to watch the Spaniards.
Followers Gather Nightly.
Under this tree, which the general
says was just about as big when he
was boy as it is now. there gather,
almost nightly hundreds, and some
times thousands, of his old soldier
followers, who hear inflammatory
speeches in favor of immediate inde-
pendence, applaud the general and
go home to bed.
The general talks through an In
terpreter, except when he becomes
excited and reveals his English. He
will tell you he was counted out in
the last election and should be Presi-
dent now, instead of Quezon. He says
Quezon does not represent the COM
mon people. He wants immediate in
dependence and no export duties on
Philippine products, but when one
asks him for some of the details OF
how such a program could be made
workable he passes on to something
else-like DR.. Townsend does IN eX-
planning the Townsend plan. He
praises the Americans and still talks
about how well he was treated by
Gen. Funston when he was captured
Those who know the Filipino tenn
perament will tell you that the only
threat in Gen. Aguinaldo's opposition
to Mr.. Quezon lies in the possibility
that he might be used by others as
rallying point for revolt; that his
name might become the symbol for
new revolt as it is still the shining
symbol TO many of independence"
The logic of the cause or the gen.
erals own ability as statesman
would be a minor consideration.
AguinaIdo Warned.
Before the inauguration the stories
of attempts that might be made
against the life of Quezon were heard
from Toxic to Manila and during the
ceremonies there was never a more
expectant group of newspaper men
than those who watched Mr.. Quezon
as he rose to take the oath of office
in front of vast throng OF his
countrymen. A few days before the
Inauguration Gov. Gen. Murphy had
summoned Aguinaldo to a conference
and talked turkey to him, mentioning,
with other things. that the American
flag was still flying and the United
States was still responsible for an or
derly and peaceful Inauguration day.
And the day was peaceful enough.
For the danger to the Quezon regime
apparently does not rest so much with
