Harry I. Spielman, who has long
been sought by the Department of
Justice in connection with the
operation of a large scale automo-
bile theft ring, was arrested today
in New York city by special Fed
eral agents, j. Edward Hoover an
nounced.
Spielman, with his two brothers,
George and Wade, were indicted
by a Federal grand jury in ElkinS,
w. Va, June 20, 1923, for violation
Of the National Vehicle Act. The
Government claimed they trans
ported IT stolen automobiles.
Harry Spielman was arrested
here in 1923 by Metropolitan po-
lice while he and his brother,
George, allegedly were transport
ing a stolen auto from Front Royal,
Va. Both were released on $4,000
bond and escaped.
Since the Federal grand jury
indictment in West Virginia,
George Spielman was apprehended
in Anaheim, Cal, and was SEN
fenced to two and one-haf years in
penitentiary.
Agents trailed Harry Spielman
through South Carolina, Califor-
MIA and New York. He was work

II have a honey with lots Of
money" No, George Cohan did
not write this line. 1t was the
English translation Of the mar
riage brokers' tempting offer in
the recent performance of Sme-
tana's opera The Bartere d
Bride" at the Metropolitan Opera
House.
Observing music critics claim
that the audience apparently en-
joyed this opera in the English
language as much as If it had
been one Of the more popular
musical comedies. It is quite evi.
dent that Manager Edward John.
son is humanizing grand opera in
the spring season so that it may
be actually enjoyed by the masses.
The claim is also made that the
English version stepped up the
tempo and pep of the production.
In the German version, this opera
had never been much of a sue
cess in the Metropolitan. So far,
only operas that have numerous
comic situations have been given
in English at the Metropolitan.
The die-hardS will claim that
such translationS cause an opera
to lose its original flavor. If by so
doing an opera gains in under
standing and popularity, what
difference should it make to those
who think of grand opera only in
terms Of social duty? If opera is
so appealing in foreign languages
as the high-brows claim, why is it
usually necessary to make up q
deficit at the end of a season? We
still believe that grand opera can
be made attractive enough that it
may become self-supporting.
The masses do not attend a

is apparently more vim, energy

Addressing the social action sec

declared instability of the eco
nomic system is probably the
most important cause of our eco

hardly be recommended, nor would
general reduction in working hours
be sufficient to spread employ

Youngsters who leave the par
entail fireside to seek their own
fortunes, said Muriel Hudnut
F'rizzell. of the Travellers Aid
Society, should not be packed up
and sent back home as soon as
authorities find them. Frequently,
she added, they should be helped

finals of the presidents cup game at the national championship tour- aament of the American Bridge League. George Rapee, who, with Curtis Jacobson, of New York, won the event, found the way to gain a maximum result with the hand.
 After North showed the void in diamonds, South, with the king of hearts and fair fit in spades, might have bid five clubs; but felt that he had done enough bid- ding with his hand and preferred to take the easy way out by bid- ding game in spades.
 When South saw the dummy, he regretted that the bidding had not stopped at five spades. Ap- parently he would have to lose one spade and one heart, but there was one chance to make six clubs, and he took it.
 The opening lead of the diamond ace was ruffed in dummy and one round of trumps was all that was necessary. South saw that his only chance of making the contract was to find one hand with not more than two spades, and to locate the ace of hearts in the same hand.
 He now played two rounds of spades and led 8 small heart from dummy, East saw his predicament and refused to win the first trick, but South played the king and re- turned heart, fineSsing the ten. East won with the jack, and led a diamond upon which South discard ed his. losing spade and made the contract.
