WASHINGTON, Nov. l6. CUP
Congress convened in special SEES
sion at noon yesterday and within
30 minutes the house was torn by
dissention which threw admin s.
tration leaders back on their heels
and raised the spectre of revolt
against President RooSevelt's leg
iSlative program.
The explosion was touched of
when Rep. Ralph Church, R., Ill.,,
objected-after reading OF the
presidents meSsage-to a unanl-
nous consent request to adjourn
until Thursday. Tempers flared
and order was restored only when
Rep. Raymond J. Cannon, Dem.
Wis, still wearing his overcoat,
stalked into the house well and
moved adjournment until today
when a Speech-making field day
was indicated.
Both chambers convened with
nothing to look forward to except
the presidents message, due TO
failure of committees to have
crop control, wage-hour, and other
legislation ready. The senate, as
usual, sat sedately, except for a
bit of back-patting ana handclasp-
ing. The house, also as usual, was
disorderly, ready for the custom
airy political fights and the indi-
vidual bloc revolts that keep lead
ers on the jump and legislation
in turmoil. All that was needed
was Rep. Church's objection to
Majority Leader Sam Rayburn's
request to adjourn until Thurs
day.
Rep. Arthur Lamneck, d., o.,

The case has been in litigation
since May, 1896, when the power
companies filed a plea with the
chancery court in Knoxville, at
lacking the entire Tennessee
Valley authority program.
It later was transferred to the
Federal District Court in Knox

an injunction of the iva program
until the merits Of the case had
been adjudicated.
The Government twice moved
unsuccessfully in District Court,
for dismissal of the power COM

The utility concerns, in their
original petition complained that
the iva was IAN illegal, proprie-
tary Federal monopoly" and that
the so-called yardstick rates were
dishonest, unfair, unreasonable
and confiscatory."

Glee Club and the second group
by the Mems Club proved to be
the high points Of the evening
"Emitte Spirituum" (Schuetky)
and List! The Cherubic Host,
from Gaul's cantata, The Holy
City," were sung by the Girls Club
with a sweetness of tone and dell
cacy of expression that was truly
beautiful.
The Mems Club performance OF
Lamp in the West" (Parker) sao
Dear Land of Home" adapted
from Sibelius' "Finlandia," showed
a careful delineation of moods
and dynamics. In the first group
by the Mems CLUB, there was
more of the boisterous spirit which
made a fearful din as heard
through the amplified loud speak
ers. Then too there was the s.
whistler near one of the micro
phones whose sibilants came
through the loud speakers with a
loud hiss.
The ballroom Of the Willard
Hotel has peculiar acoustical
properties. If, for instance, a
sound of the Shuffling feet OF
many dancers is made. the result.
ing echo from the dome-shaped
ceiling necessitates power ampn1l,
cation in order that the dance or
chestra may be plainly heard.
But if, on the other hand, a
sound emanateS from one point,
the sound behaves nicely and is
clearly heard in all points of the
hall. Recalling that when we had
a seat near the front last year
when this group sang without the
doubtful benefit of power amplifi-
cation, the powerful seXtuple
fortissimos were such as to give us
a bad headache, we were careful
to take a seat last night in the
last row.
Imagine our surprise when we
saw a loud speaker pointed right
at us, and the music of the clubs
was heard first through the loud
speaker and the echo came later
from the lips of the singers. Such
a Setup might have been fine for a
Madison Square Garden, but GER

BRITISH EMPIRE
LEADERS0PEN
1887 FARLEY

LONDON, May IA GN.SO'
Britain's 1897 imperial conference.
attended by statesmen from all
corners of the Empire, held its
first plenary session today, elected
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
president OF the conference and
sent a message of loyalty to King
George vi.
The session ended at 1875 a. M,
a little more than an hour and a
half after it began. The principal
delegates will meet again Wednes-
day, after the traditional long
English weekend, and subcommit-
tees on shipping and general eco
nomic questions will convene Tues
day.
Delegates to the conference in
cluded six Commonwealth Prime
Ministers and other empire repre-
sentatives. Their message to King
George reaffirmed their loyal de-
votion to the British Empire and
wished the monarch happy, pros
porous reign.
The conference will discuss a
host of subjects, from imperial de-
tense to Anglo-American relations.
The sessions are being held in his
toric st. James Palace.
Prime Minister Baldwin, in his
inaugural speech, declared the par
ley is meeting amid a difficult and
even threatening international Sit
uation, and added:
1.-THE responsibility rests with
us to see that the deliberations
are not only a service to our
selves but help in solution Of in
ternational problems perplexing
the world"
He said the task of the dele
gates was to examine the causes OF
international unrest and by an ex-
change of views try to make a
contribution toward diminution
and removal of these causes.
He urged the delegates not to
be discouraged by the immensely
of this task and said:
II believe we shall find the
principles upon which we our
selves rely are the key to the
solution of the rivalries, suspi-
cions and bitterness which
grievously divide the world to-
day."
Baldwin deplored the "ruinous
race for ornaments" in which, he
said, Britain had no choice but
to compete.

Just how much this demon
stration was emotional, time
alone will tell. Taking as the
subject of his opera a story that
had a profound meaning when
published in the Atlantic Monthly
in 1858. when patriotism was a
blazing issue, DR.. DamroSch had a
theme susceptible of highly dra-
matte treatment.
The story was extended to in
clude a love interest-Mary Rut-
ledge-and the libretto was writ
ten by Arthur Guiterman. DIN
DowneS, music critic of the New
York Times in giving a critical
analysis of the opera said in part,
THE theme was made the basis
of an opera libretto with due sue
cession of solos, duos, dances and
glittering stage SpectacleS-the
kind of thing that has been done,
time without number in opera
land, and with the greatest Of
subjects.
Calculated to entertain, If it
meets the hearers taste, rather
than to move him or arrest his
attention by originality. 1t is an
opera of set numbers, conventional
lines, and expert but very ordi-
nary music. This is equally true
of plot, text and score. A text of
more quality is usually necessary
to inspire a composer"
BY way of illustrating the quail
ity of the libretto, Mr.. Downes
quotes the lines sung by Philip
Nolan and Mary Rutledge in the
balcony scene, 1T is all Of bright
moonlight and meadow and river
enthralling,' and the 'whipporWilr
whose motive is duly stated and
variously developed by Mr.. Dam
rosch's orchestra-'calling. Mary
says, Poor lonely whipporwill. A
lovely tune. Where did you find
it?'" ut is of piece and far,
far from the poignant implica-
tions of Hale's pros"
The annual spring concert OF
the George Washington University
Glee Clubs, under the direction
Of DR.. Robert H. Harmon, was
