The East Capitol street site, DR..
Reichelderfer believes, is "unneces-
sarily distant" for auditorium audi
ences, which, he pointed out, will
come from the hotel district and
residential areas which are not CEN
tered about the foot of East Cap
itol street.
"The claim of conflict of audi
torium traffic with Government per-
sonnel traffic, I think, is overem-
phasized. Auditorium traffic will not
be at its height from z to 9 am. or
4:3O to pm.," the former Com
missioner said.
Public Vehicles Cheaper.
II think the day Cor night) when
q private car owner may hope to
drive his car anywhere near an
auditorium or theater and find
street parking is about over. I have
not used my own car for such a
purpose for long time. Public
transportation, including taxicabs, is
cheaper and more convenient, and
I find many of my friends are
reaching the same conclusion.
MY opinion is that an auditorium
should not be combined with an
armory or stadium in any location.
The auditorium should be as CEN
trally situated as possible and I be-
ieve traffic difneulties will not be
as formidable as some anticipate
and win be far outweighed by the
convenience of short and mex
penstve approach"

Dr.. ReicheIderfer Advocates
Separate Auditorium
Believes Structure Should Be
Located in Central Port of City

This is the 37th OF a series of
articles dealing aHth the audi
torium stadium problem noD
pending in Congress. Further
discussion tDiA tollow, and the
opinions of readers are inuited.
The proposed local auditorium
should not be combined with an
armory or stadium in any location
and the auditorium should be as
centrally located as possible, in the
opinion of DR.. Luther H. Reichel-
derfer, former District Commits
Sioner.
DR.. Reichelderfer approved the
selection by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission of
q site in the municipal center, at
Constitution avenue and John Mar
shall place NV. for the proposed
auditorium and also indorsed the
East Capitol street site for projected
stadium and armory projects.
Suitable for Armory.
"The East Capitol street site is
suitable for the armory and stadium,
but not, I believe, for an auditorium,
which should be separately and CEN
trally located" DR.. Reichelderfer
said. If the armory, stadium and
auditorium should be in any way
too closely combined Especially the
auditorium the functions might
conflict The noisy enthusiasm of
an Army-Navy football game might
not harmonic too well with a SYM
phony concert nearby"

TN the last 10 years there has
been complete change in the gen.
eral public's interest in good music" :"
Mrs. Watson observed thoughtfulIy.
"Of course there is still great room
1or improvement. But it seems to
me that I never saw young people
so interested in great music-at
least they are talking about it,"
Hesltantly, Mrs. Watson offered
some suggestions for the layman
who would try to appreciate music.
First, he should provide himself
with a recognized text on the sub
Ject. Second, he must listen-"you
know. most people really don't lis
ten,' she said. Third, he should
take it in moderate amounts -"long
doses are bad"
Mrs. Watson was born in Omaha
Nebr., and at the age of 3 was TAX
ing piano lessons. Then there was
school at Mount Vernon Seminary
in Washington and in Berlin, Paris,
Brussels and Venice. When hand
some Edwin NJ Watson, whom she
had met when he was stationed in
Omaha, was transferred to the
Paris Embassy, they were married
in the French capital. There fol-
lowed tours of duty in Texas, Okla
homa, New York, Leavenworth
Brussels, back to New York and
then Washington.
1t was Mrs Watson's sense OF
humor that made the final question
possible-What of swing?
I'm tone deaf to it." she said with
twinkle in her eye, but I like it.

Wife of Presidential Secretary
Was Queen S Fuvorite Pianist
Mrs. Watson Declines
To Tell of Time She
Accompanied Einstein
By PAULINE FREDERICK.

In the inner Circle OF the Bel
gian court there Is a hitherto un-
published story of the unique role
once played in the royal household
by Mrs. Edwin M. Watson, musi-
cian-wife of the newly appointed
Secretary to the President, succeed
ing James Roosevelt.
1t happened while Col. Watson
was attached to the American En-
bassy in Brussels toward the end of
Albert's reign, so the well-founded
story goes. Mrs. Watson is de-
clared to have received frequent
telephone calls from Queen Eliza
beth's lady-in-waiting, requesting
that she come to the palace at Lac
ken to play for her majesty. This
concert pianist, known profession
ally as Frances Nash, would then
play privately for the Queen of the
Belgians for nearly two hours of
an afternoon, after which there
would be tea.
One afternoon, so the story goes
further, Mrs. Watson arrived at
Laeken in response to q royal sum-
mons to find a little man with
bushy gray hair lingering a fiddle.
Queen Elizabeth, too, brought out
her violin, and Frances Nash sat
down to the piano to accompany
the duo. The man was Albert Elm
stein. For nearly five hours the
trio played. forgetting all about tea
time.
But to obtain confirmation of
these stories from Mrs. Watson is
to meet with the same discreet si-
lence that makes her a valuable
confidante, whether the secret be of
kingdom or of state. One must be
content with the inscription on the
portrait of Queen Elizabeth in the
artistic drawing room atop a FASH
ionable apartment house facing the
wooded valleys of Rock Greek Park.
The inscription reads:
ITO Mrs. Frances Watson in ap-
probation of many pleasant mu-
sical hours at Laeken. 1891"
Come what may in the official
circles of the Capital, Mrs. Wat
sons daily stint at the grand piano
is no less than three hours.
you don't begin getting ready
for a concert q few weeks before
hand" she said. You are always
getting ready"
Mrs. Watson has played both for
mally and informally at the White
House since her husband was de-
tailed to duty there in 1888.

Appeals Court Remands
Habeas Corpus Plea

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today ordered remanded to
District Court hearing on a writ of
habeas corpus sought by Lillian
Clawans. Newark IN. j. attorney.
The higher court, in remanding
the case for further proceedings.
indicated that shelving a case after
hearing of evidence had begun was
tantamount to acquittal.
The woman lawyer was arraigned
in Police Court ON disorderly con-
duct charges After some evidence
was heard, the case was dismissed
and the corporation counsel's Office
framed new information and OBJ
tanned a conviction.
The defendant elected to serve
five days in jail, rather than pay
SIS fine. and sought a writ of
habeas corpus in District Court.
This court refused to hear evidence.
Through Attorneys Levi H. David
Of Washington and F. D. Masucci of
Newark, she appealed. Today's
ruling ordered the lower court to
hear evidence upon the plea and
concluded that the allegations in the
woman's petition, if proved, were
sufficient to entitle her to the relief
she sought.
