Woman Is Fined Maximum
On Noisy Doq CHARGES

Mrs. Harriet B. Stewart of the
5000 block of A1bemarle street NV,
was. sentenced yesterday in Police
Court to pay a fine of $40 on a
charge of keeping barking and howl
ing dogs on her Albemarle street
estate, which disturbed the peace
of the neighborhood.
The fine, the maximum for the Of
fense, was imposed by Judge Walter
J. Casey after witnesses from the
neighborhood had told of being
disturbed by Mrs. Stewart's dogs-10
in all-at various hours of the day
and night. One witness, Ebert T.
Magruder, declared the dogs sound
ed like "howling wolves"
Mrs. Stewart at one time cried
while being questioned on the stand
by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton D. Norman, who prosecuted
the case. She admitted, upon ques-
tioning, that she at one time had
II dogs on the estate and had twice
before been in court on charges that
the dogs created disturbance. On
one Of her former appearances in
court, Mrs. Stewart said she had
been fined and on another a judge
had taken her personal bond.
Yesterday she told the court she
was trying to sell her property so
she could move from the neighbor-
hood and take care of the dogs else
where.

QUEEN planned today for Ignacy Jan
Paderewski. former President of
Poland and world renowned pianist.
included some of the music he loved
best-his own 'Nocturne" and a
hymn which he favored.
Many great composers of the
world had asked that their music
be played at the pontifical mass of
requiem. and scores of famous art
lists asked the privilege of singing
anonymously.
If we could comply with their
requests" said Pietro Yon, organist
and head of the choir at St. Pat
ricks Cathedral, I'VE would have
the most famous gathering of artists
ever assembled anywhere.
Mr.. Yon himself was to play the
"Nocturne" at the Organ as a pre-
lude. Paderewski's favorite hymn
by Kurpinski, God, Who for Years
Hast Given Thy Protection" and
Chopin's Funeral March" were to
follow the mass.
The music was to be broadcast
by short wave to all countries of
Europe free to listen. In the choir
of 18 voices, 10 nationalities were
represented - German, Spanish,
Irish, Italian, English, Scotch,
Cuban, Canadian. Dutch and
Jewish, as we'll as Americans from
many parts OF the country.
