Claims Court
Backs Fran1ers
Demonstration
BY the Associated Press,

Just to keep the record straight. the
Court Of Claims ruled last week that
when the trainers of the Constitu-
ton granted the President 10 days
to approve or veto new law they
meant 10 days and not 8 or II.
Rejecting a 5000 900 claim filed by
International Manufacturers Co. of
America, Inc, the court held that the
constitutional provision granting the
President 10 days in which to consider
An act Of Congress did not include
the day the measure was sent to the
White House.
The court disagreed with the plain
tiff's claim that President Roosevelt
was one day too late when he vetoed
the company's bill February II, 1885.

able score Of 784 pins for five
games, including a handicap OF
100 pins. The most astounding
manner in which she pounded the
little pins for games Of 148, $50,
1877, 1903 and 146 was a pleasure
to look at. Her total without the
handicap was 435 for the first
three games which was within
eight pins of the worlds record
of Ida Simmons and her total OF
686 was within 10 pins of the five
game record held by the same
famous bowler, who was able to
gather only 612 for her total, In

AGENCY
BARES LABOR
ESPIONAGE
international News Service


Officials of the william j. Burns
International Detective Agency
appeared before the Senate Civil
Liberties Committee today and de-
scribed their labor espionage Serv-
ice to large industries.
They told practically the same
story of labor spy activities as did
officials of the Pinkerton Detective
Agency, investigated by the COM
mittee several weeks ago.
The agency'S operations and
business setup were described by
Raymond j. Burns, president, and
w. Sherman Burns, treasurer.
They testified that from 1888 to
1895, $258,128 of their 81 ,093
gross income was. derived from
labor espionage service. In the
first six months of 1886, the
agency received $129, ,194 for labor
spy and industrial guard service.
Some Profits Revealed
Raymond J. Burns said salaries
for undercover men on industrial
cases usually totaled 40 or so per
cent of the "cost of the job" He
said that during the New York
elevator and building strike in
1886, the agency sold guard serv-
ice to 100 clients and made a gross
profit of $45,861. In 1886 the
agency made a profit Of $12,328
for labor espionage service at the
Remington-Rand Company strike
at Middletown, Conn, from May
% to September 10.
Questioned by Senator Lafol-
lette (P0 of Wisconsin, chairman
of the committee, Raymond Burns
admitted that the 81 district office
managers of the agency were in
Structed to follow closely "the
union labor movement" and solicit
business from industrial concerns
wherever strikes and other labor
disorders threatened.
Burns denied, however, that the
company sold the services of under
cover men to smash unions.
Politics Plays Part
Burns admitted that politics
played a big part in the business. {"
A letter to Burns from w. s..
Gordon, manager of the Minneapo-
lis office, concerning the truck
mems strike there in 1884 was in
troduced. Referring to the late
Governor Olson, Of Minnesota, it
said:
"Everything done is done with
a political viewpoint, and while
the Governor is a personal friend
of mine I know 1 can get by with
more than any other agency
head. And we will call each
other by first names and don't
hesitate to talk plainly with each
other"

AVIATION GAINS

Early on one of the nights Of the
memorable Democratic National
Convention in Madison Square
Garden in 1924, Senator Thomas
Walsh of Montana, who was
chairman, interrupted the pro-
ceedings with a bang of his gavel.
He beckoned to the rear of the
platform and a tall young man in
the uniform Of the United States
Army stepped forward.

That was IL years ago.
A week or two ago, Howard
Hughes hit Newark, N. j., seven
and a half hours after he had left
Los Angeles. Here was a record
which made us sit up and take
notice at a time when daWn-to-
dusk flights from the Pacific to
the Atlantic had become an every
day occurrence.
Slowly and surely aviation has
been building itself during the de-
preston years. The gains are
hardly noticeable to the average
person until he takes the present
day picture and compares it with
that Of the not-too-distant past.

them at a speed Of 200 miles an
hour. Less than a decade ago we
would have believed that we had
reached the peak of our conquest
of the air with our tri-motored
transports which carried a dozen
persons confined to uncomfortable
chairs, with cotton stuffed in their
ears to drown the noise as they
bumped along at a little better
than 100 miles an hour.
SIGN OF THE TINES
In another decade, the planes
will be bigger and better, their
speed will be 300 miles and better,
and as many as 100000 Ameri.
cans will be travelling by air.
The sign Of the times is the
production Of airplanes selling as
low as $1,000. Low costs in
America always means wider
usage. It was not until about 1920
that automobiles got down to a
price the average pocketbeok could
meet. The same will be true of
the airplane.
Soon good safe planes will be
selling at $1,000 each and our
skies will be filled with them.

A stiff battle over the $526,00O,-
600 naval supply bill was expected
in. the Senate today as little and
big Navy advocates prepared for
assaults on the measure when it
is called up for debate, probably
this week.
Senator Nye (RO of North Da-
kota, head of the little navy
bloc, laid plans to considerably re-
duce the appropriation for the
1887 and 1888 fiscal years, while
Senator Walsh 3D. of Massachu-
sets, chairman of the Naval Al
fairs Committee, may seek to re-
store the $35,000,000 slash from
President Roosevelt's budget eSti-
mate made by the House Appro-
priations Committee.
Nye, chairman: Of the Senate
Munitions Committee which in
vestigated naval ship construction
by private companies, asserted the
bill will put the United States in
an armament race with foreign
powers.
In addition to some members Of
the munitions group, Nye will be
supported by Senators Frazier (R.)
of North Dakota and Capper CR0
OF Kansas. Senator Vandenberg
R.) of Michigan, a member of
the Munitions committee, has not
yet expressed an opinion on the
bill, but it is expected he will favor
reduction.
On the other hand, Walsh. who
is serving his first full term as
chairman of the Naval Affairs
Committee, is expected to receive
the aid Of Senator johnson (R)
of California and other "big Navy"
advocates.

BY CARL L. DENIES

BY CARL L. DENIES
Gladys Swarthout, Metropolitan
Opera mezzo-soprano, gave her
first full-length recital in Con-
Stitution Hall yesterday afternoon
with a large audience in atten-
dance. Miss Swarthout was re-
called repeatedly to receive ardent
homage and she responded with
liberal number Of encores and
finally had to inform the audi
ence at the end of the concert
that the transcription Of the Lords
Prayer would be the closing en-
core.
Miss Swarthout's voice seemed
a bit husky during the opening
songs, but her tones came clearer
as the recital progressed. The first
and second groups consisted of
numbers in a somewhat subdued
mood with the possible exception
of the Rex arrangement, "Femmes,
Battez vos Maris."
But when she sang the "Ha-
banera" from Carmen" as an
encore, Miss Swarthout gave a
glamorouS dramatic interpreta-
ton. Her buoyant stage presence
was we'll fitted to make vivid
impersonation Of Carmen and the
charm Of her voice was most
pleasing. Another song in the
same mood, Gel Vito" (Nin), was
concluded with polite yell which
stirred the audience to call for
several encores, None But the
Lonely Heart" and "Spendthrift"
(E. Charles).
Considerable interest was mani
fest in the song by Charles Kings
ford "Clovers," which was written
for and dedicated to Miss
Swarthout. 1t was based on a
poem of thoughts of death. The
thought of clover growing over
ones grave, together with sew
eral other songs on the program
which dealt with sleep and
dreams, seemed a bit incon-
gruouS in the presence Of such
vivacious personality as Miss
Swarthout.
But she made up in part for
this mood in other songs, eSpeci-
ally "Spendthrift," and Hang
My Troubles on a Tree" The
general nature of her program
did not seem, however, to give
full scope to her voice and what

succeeded in captivating her
audience to q high pitch Of
enthusiasm.
The Georgetown University Glee
Club, under the direction of Ed.
ward P. Donovan, gave the annual
mid-Lenten concert last night in
CASTOR Hall at the university, with
Joseph M. Barbecot, baritone, ap-
pearing as the assisting artist.
The chorus sang almost entirely
from memory and with only an
occasional piano accompaniment.
The voices were evenly balanced
and blended nicely. The program
included a wide range of works,
popular light selections, Negro
SpiritualS and sacred works.

themes of the second movement

phon, "Reverie," and another ar
rangement Of themes from the
fourth movement of Brahms First
Symphony, Praise Ye the Lord" I"
The enchanting themes of these
words together with the harmonic
structure Of both made most at
tractive music.
Mr.. Barbecot sang an Arioso
from "Benvenuto" (Diaz) and two
shorter works accompanied at the
piano by Mr.. Donovan. His voice
is rather light baritone, vibrant
and clear with a fine care for die
tion.
The theme shown above is one
of the main themes of the first

FORCEFUL SPEAKER
There was no ballyhoo, no

who heard him set down the
secret of his success in bringing
about great spiritual awakenings,
wrote:
ut was the fOrcefulnesS with
which Moody talked more than
what he said that impressed
his hearers. The mans deep
rooted convictions were so much
q part of him that it was i'm
possible to doubt his sincerity.
There was nothing of the dra-
mantle about Moody. His
earneStneSS was so great that
to hear him was to believe.
II remember him as a pow
erful-lOOking man with brown
hair and a brown beard. He
was absolutely devoid Of SEN
SatiOnal manneriSmS. In tell
ing stories of pathetic happen
ingS, his eyes would fill with
tears, his voice would break,
