U. 5. Model Suggested
For International Amity

The amicable relations brought
about between the States Of this
country through the Constitutional
Convention was cited last night by
DR.. Arthur Deerin Call, secretary
of the American Peace Society. as
q pattern that could be followed in
bringing about peaceful understand
ing between nations.
DR.. Call spoke on '"The Place
of Force in International Relations"
in the third in q series of educa-
tional forum lectures under aus
pices of the Central Young Mems
Christian Association.
He developed the thought that
disputes between nations can bet
ter be settled through observance
of international law and a sense
of justice than by resort to war.
He urged the development Of a
judicial system between nations"
Thus far" he said, I'VE have
found two legitimate places for
force in international relations, one
as means of national defense, an
other for the use by states against
their own citizens guilty OF violat-
ing international law"
Earlier in his address he declared
attempts to establish collective
security based upon the sanctions
Of military force lead hopelessly to
collective wars"
DR.. Call also asserted: 1T is con-
ceivable that conditions may de-
velop making it necessary to fight.
Men want justice more than they
want peace"
DR.. Call was questioned at the
end of his address by a panel con-
sisting of George A. Finch, editor
of the American Journal of Inter-
national Law, chairman; DR.. Her
bert Wright, professor Of interna-
tional law at Catholic University;
Cornelius Ferris, retired veteran OF

Must Advertise for Bids
On Moving, Elliott Rules

The Government cannot hire a
transfer company to move the
household effects of an employe
being transferred without first ad-
vertising for competitive bids, Act
ing Controller General R. N. FL
lott ruled in a decision made pub
lie yesterday.
The ruling was in connection with
. bill of the Security Storage Co.
for moving by truck the effects Of
Consul General John Farr SIM
mons from Washington to Ottawa,
Canada. The State Department
contended it was not necessary to
advertise for bids for this work be-
cause motor carriers rates are filed
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and AARnnot be changed.
Mr.. Elliott pointed out, however,
that motor carriers are authorized
to, and some will, give lower rates
to the United States for transporta-
ton services than to the public
generally" and ruled that such
services are to be obtained only
after advertising" except in specifi-
cally exempt cases.
He approved the Security Storage
Co. bill of $21137 for payment "in
view of the administrative misun-
derstanding," but said the advertis-
ing rule would be applied to such
cases in the future.

Joan Crawford Charges Tone
Demanded Too Much Time
By the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Feb. IL
Keeping her, pace Is = screen star
allowed Joan Crawford too little
time to attend the social functions
enjoyed by her actor-husband.
Franchot Tone, she disclosed in =
suit for divorce today.
The actress, who shortly before
the separation last July 20, ending
a marriage OF three years. signed a
7-year contract calling for nearly
$4,000, 900, said she told Tone when
they were wed at Fort Lee, N. j.,
that her 13-year climb from night
club entertaining had not been easy
and that being film star meant
long hours of study, strict attention
to health habits and plenty of hard
work.
Notwithstanding this agreement"
the actress petition declared, FOR
more than year he has objected
to her activities and has been un-
reasonable in demands for time"
Often, she asserted. Tone insisted
she attend social functions with him,
well knowing she had work to do
or was fatigued, and when she would
suggest postponing it to a better
time, he would become sullen and
angry and would refuse to speak to
her for days at time
When Miss Crawford married the
sauve, polished Tone, fresh from
New York stage hit, Success Sorry"
trophies she won at dances were re-
placed on the mantle by etchings
and oil paintings. She patronized
the arts, studied grand opera and
entertained his friends.
But, her friends said, she tried at
the same time to maintain sched-
ule of arising at 6 am, for bath
and massage. working all day in the
studio, coming home for a voice
lesson, dinner, another bath and
massage and finally settling down
to two or three hours of script study.
Miss Crawford's first husband was
Actor Douglas Fairbanks, jr. The
marriage ended in divorce. With
Tone back on Broadway again, her
name recently has been linked with
that of Film Writer Charles Martin.

McNinch Raps Hostile
Attitude Of F. {. {.
Minority
Discusses Wheeler Bill
To Cut Commission
To Three Members

Striking at members of the Fed
eral Communications Commission
who have disagreed on matters un-
der consideration. but not calling
them by name, Chairman Frank r.
McNinch of the F. C. c. last night
charged that the efforts of the ma
jority had not only been discounted
but even Cancelled "by the hostile
tactics of other members" He de-
livered the broadside in a speech to
the North Carolina Society at Bal
timore 1t was broadcast over the
Mutual Broadcasting System.
Chairman McNinch discussed the
proposed new set-up of a three-man
commission proposed in the bill
introduced Thursday by Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana, and
devoted considerable time to denying
statements contained in an article
on the commission published in a
national weekly.
He said that since he became
chairman of the commission there
has been substantial improvement
in the commissions procedure and,
IF there had been a spirit of CO.
operation on the part of all men,
bers Of the commission, yet further
advances would have been made"
1T Is notorious" Chairman Nc
Ninch said, that for several years
before I became chairman of the
commission it was handicapped by
dissension and division, carried be-
yond reasonable differences of
opinion to a point that precluded
effective regulation. This condition
has persisted and, while 1 am glad
to testify publicly to the co-opera-
ton of most of the commissioners
with each other, would be less
than candid did I not say that those
efforts on their part have been dis
counted or even Cancelled at times
by the hostile tactics of other men,
bers."
He said large commission was
q fundamental disability, creating
an opportunity for individual strug-
gle for power and collective strife,
the ultimate result of which is a
breakdown. The Wheeler bill would
reduce the membership of the COM
mission from seven to three,

Mime. D'Aulby Gives
Delightful Recital
BY ALICE EvERsMAN.

The concert hall Of the Washing
ton Club was fllled to capacity last
evening for the song recital given
by Nine. Nadia FAM d'Aulby, lyric
soprano, assisted by Elena Crivella,
pianist. A charming picture in a
costume Of black and silver with q
touch Of red, Nine. d'Aulby quickly
demonstrated her experience both
as q singer Of songs and of arias.
She has sung in several of the IA
nous opera houses of Italy and has
been heard here extensively in pri-
vate appearances, last evenings re-
cital, however, being her first public
one.
1t was Immediately apparent that
her voice Is suited to q much larger
hall for 1t has a carrying power Of
ringing quality. It's range is large
and evenly developed with a rare
sweetness in pianissimo use in the
upper register. A very special point
OF praise is her excellent diction in
the three languages In which she
sang last evening, Italian, French
and English, which contributed
greatly to the finish of her singing.
Splendid poise in the delivery of
each number and an appreciation
OF the character of the music to-
gether with dramatic temperament
were other outstanding assets of her
art.
In her program, Nine. d'Aulby
included two seldom heard arias,
the I'm quelle trine morbide" from
Puccini's "Manon" and the aria
from Catalani's La Wally." These
numbers effectively displayed her
clear high tones and excellent sense
OF the operate style. A group of
classic songs opened her program,
which contained but one in Eng
lish, Dvorak's Songs My Mother
Taught Me-" which was sung with
deep feeling and rare purity of
tone.
Suzanne Jackowskas "Tristesse
Eternelle," inspired by Chopins
"Etude In E major" and Gretchani-
now's "Triste est lie steppe" were
two OF the most interesting num-
bers given together with de Fallas
Mana" and "Jota." Less effective
were two songs by Weckerlin, Men
uet," and "Jeunes Fillettes," where
a whittier tonal color which Nine.
d'Aulby resorts to occasionally was
apparent.
There was cordial appreciation on
the part Of the audience for Mime.

Figures
What They Mean
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-With re-
juvenated industrial building pro-
gram showing the way, engineering
construction awards in November
continued to roll up steady gains
over 1898, reports from Engineering
News Record revealed today.
Major awards during the month
totaled $302, ,215 900. On weekly
basis this was II per cent above the
average for the same month year
ago and l per cent less than the
October average.
Industrial building contracts re-
corded the most remarkable i'm
provement, rising 800 per cent above
November, 1888, but falling 38 per
cent below the unusually high VOL
ume of the previous month.
Aided materially by the wave Of
industrial construction, private
awards were 95 per cent higher than
a year ago, although they tapered
off II per cent from the month be-
fore. Commercial building and
large-scale private housing were
only about Is per cent above No
vember, 1888, but exceeded October
by approximately 13 per cent.
Public awards declined II per cent
from a year ago, partly offsetting
the sharp gain in private construc-
ton. However, an II per cent in
crease over the previous month
maintained total awards at approx
mately the same level as october,
despite some falling of in private
contracts during the month.
Engineering construction awards
for II months of 1899, totaling 81
8l2,529 900, have already exceeded
the volume for the entire year 1898
and are 1913 per cent higher than
In the first II months last year.
Private awards, boosted by the
second half squirt in industrial
construction, passed their corre-
spending cumulative 1888 volume in
September and are now 10 per cent
ahead of year ago. Public con-
struction, which has recently been
falling behind last year, is still IA
per cent ahead of year ago on the
basis of earlier gains.
Construction costs were unchanged
during the month and are now ap-
proximately 1.3 per cent higher than
q year ago, according to the Engi-
neering News-Record construction
cost index.
