 Located Below Bridge

Bids on the proposed new Gold Greek bridge on the Basin Road were opened this morning by the Bureau of Public Roads, the Men denhall Construction Company be- ing low bidder with a figure ot s1917e.60. The R. J. Sommers Con- struction Company bid $20,474.50 Eneineer's estimate was Sl7,SS1.
 Although satisfactory bids were received. Bureau officials stated that it was questionable whether the award would be made. The Juneau Water Company has lodged written objection to the excavation of the piers for the structure. The water company declares that the placing of piers to the depth shown on the plans is liable to obstruct the free flow of water to it's springs located about 200 feet below the bridge site. It is also feared by the com pany that the city water supply might be contaminated during the period required for the excavation of the piers.
 Under the present circumstances recommendation for award will be withheld anH the reconstruction work delayed, it was stated. R. F Lewis, President of the Juneau Water Company has returned to San Francisco and will take the matter up with the District Engin- eers' office there.

 CITY TREASURER IS ABOARD ALICE
Treat Elm All Friendly Advises H. C. Meme
 of St. Louis

Treat 'em all friendly if you want to get along in politics"
 That's the advice of Henry c. Meme, round-trip passenger aboard the Princess Alice on her stop in Juneau Tuesday night. And Meme ought to know, for he is now serv- ing his fourth term as City Treas urer in St. Louis.
 Meme, making the Alaskan tour with his wife and grand d-daughter, Lorraine Gramlich, Is, left St. Louis several weeks ago and will return to his desk the middle of July.
 A Democrat, he served in the treasury post from 1913 until 1921, period in which most of the St. Louis city hall officials were mem bers of the Republican Party. After an interlude in the banking busi- ness, Meme returned to office in 1883 and was again reelected in a recent balloting.
 They all look alike to me, Meme said, "and consequently have support of all parties, races and groups. If they come in for information or help, don't care whether I know them or whether they belong to the right party. If I can be of help, I'm glad to do a favor"
 How do I like Alaska weather? Well, to be honest, it rained all the way up here. I really enjoyed the scenery and if we had had more of a break on the weather everything would have been per feet. But I'm plenty satisfied witf my first trip north"

A Pennsville IN. j. woman de-

an unpaid hotel bill Of $161.11'

OATH AS CITIZEN.
OF. U. S. is TAKEN
BY MRS.. THAW
Regains Status She Lost
.. By French Marriage

Because . law passed in 1922
automatically deprieved her Of
her citizenship, Mrs. Laura Con-
suelo fitzpatrick Morgan Thaw, Of
1927 Thirty-third st. N. W., ap-
peared at the United States Dis
trict Court today to regain her
status as q national Of the United
States.
Before Justice Jennings Bailey
she took the oath Of allegiance to
the American Flag. She appeared
alone, since members Of her so
cialite family, originally believed
to desire to see the ceremony, did
not appear.
MORGAN SISTER
Mrs. Thaw, born in Switzerland
in 1901, is one Of the three famous
Morgan sisters. One Of her sisters
Is Lazy CuIACoo1 "a 0OANOAA' cSAAA
the other is Mrs. Gloria Morgan
Vanderbilt, of New York.
Mrs. Thaw lost her citizenship
when she married Jean Marie En-
manuel de MaupaS, French cit
izen, in 1920. They were divorced
two years later, and Mrs.
deMaupas thought she had re-
gained her citizenship when she
later married Benjamin Thaw,
jr., an American citizen.
NO OBJECTION
She learned later, however, that
the Cable act, passed by Congress
in 1922, provided among other
things that a foreigner, such as
Mrs. Thaw, could not become an
American citizen through mar
riage.
Hence she petitioned United
States District Court last week to
restore her citizenship. There
being no objection from any
source, the law providing that OBJ
lection may be made by any cit
izen, Mrs. Thaw was given the
oath today.

BY CARL L. BEMIES
When two works of a modernistic
character are presented in the
same program in a chamber music
recital that are easy to listen to,
it is a notable coincidence. The
sixth chamber music concert by
the Coolidge Quartet yesterday
afternoon at the auditorium of the
Library of Congress included two
such works.
The Coolidge Quartet opened
the program with a spirited pres
entation of Haydn'S Quartet in G,
Opus II, No. l." The quartet dis
played a wealth of tone and power
resulting in a most convincing per-
formance. d.
The Hindeminth "Trio No. 2"
violin, viola and cello, proved
to be q work with melodic themes
in a questioning mood. The
violin and viola, for the most part
play in duet while the cello is
assigned the task Of producing
the off.key bass which was not
at all strident.
The final Quartet No. 2, Opus
20," by the second violinist of the
quartet, Nicolai Berezowsky, was
the second work to explore the
disSonant combinations so much
affected by modern composers.
The first movement is filled with
delightful melodic figures which
occasionally meet on a common
ground of accepted harmony. The
second movement Qargo), like
wise contains much pleasing
melody with a persistent bass
figure from the cello. The
sprightly allegro motto movement
furnishes an ending that brought
an enthusiastic response from the
audience and the composer was
given an ovation.
One of the most valuable argu-
mentS for the Hammond electric
organ has never to our knowl-
edge been used in advertising this
musical marvel Of modern science
the fact that a beginner may
practice on the instrument with
out making q bit of noise that
anyone but the player may hear.
AS the music is produced
entirely by means of radio type
of amplifier, the loud speaker may
be cut out and a pair Of head
phones used by the player. Thus
one may practice the instrument
and hear every sound made by it
without disturbing the neighborS
or the rest Of the household. What
a boon for a family with young
musicians in it!
