|Cabby Finds Not
All Fares Honest

Cables have to be on their
guard these days when they're
hauling strangers around in
their hacks.
At least that's the way W. T.
Futch, local hackster, feels
about it after he was alleged
ly hit over the head Saturday
morning by one of his custom
ers.
He told police he picked up
a man at the bus station, and
upon request, took him to 204
S. Sixth street. On the way
the cabbie and the passenger
chatted cordially.
But when they got to the
destination, the friendly "cuS-
toner" repeatedly whacked
Futch on the back of the head
with a bottle and took off down
the street in a gallop.
The only compensation
Futch got out of the trip was
a two inch cut and a lump on
his head, for which he was
treated and released from the
James Walker Memorial hos
pital.

Associated Press Arts Reporter

NEW YORK, April 5.-R-A ra-
vival and a premiere have marked
the spring season of the Original
Ballet Russo at the Metropolitan
opera house.
The first was pictures at an
exhibition" choreography by Nj
jinska and music by Moussorgsky,
taken owe from ballet internation-
al, and the second a pas de trois,
a advertisement with choreogra-
ply by Jerome Robbins and music
from Berlioz's "Damnation OF
Faust"
The pas de trois is in TWO parts:
minuet-presto and waltz. The
waltz will do, but the minuet-pres-
to section is n of the wittiest
peices On the ballet stage today.
Intended to bring Alicia Markova,
Anton Dolin and Andre Eglesvky
together in a single number, 1t
failed in that purpose for Rosella
Hightower substituted for the in
disposed Markova.
Robbins idea to mock classic
choreography, is not new, but it
was developed freshly and much
of the credit for its success should
go to the three expert dancers,
who drove the Metropolitan audi
ence to loud laughter. Dolin, a
born wit, was bound to hit it off
just right, but Eglevsky, whose
traditional repertoire makes him
seem like a regular poker = face
sobersides, drew the noisiest GUT
flaws.
If you have heard a great deal
of Brahms this season. it is in
recognition of the 50th anniversary
of his death, on April 3, 1897, in
Vienna. Born in Hamburg in 1888,
son of a double-bass player, he
chose for his instrument the pi-
ano, and it was on the concert
stage that he won the attention
and praise of Schumann and vio-
linist Joachim.
A ~perfecter more than an inno-
vator, he secured a publisher for
his compositions by the time he
was 20, received the warmest well
come in Vienna. where he became
director of the Singakademie in
1868, and made the music-loving
capital his home from 1872 on.

this part of the state, O. c. Kohl,
state highway division engineer at
Lima, said its location still is un-
certain.
As matters now stand, Route Is
which passes through Bluffton has
the edge in formative planning for
location of the superhighway, he in
dicated.
In the past, however, there has
been considerable agitation to set
up new route for the super-road-
way, following the abandoned course
of the old Cincinnati and Lake
Erie traction line between Toledo
and Lima.
Final decision on the highway
largely viii be affected by its inn
portance and cost, Kohl said.
Cities, villages and counties along
the route would be expected to con-
tribute financially to the project, it
was pointed out.
Current planning provides for the
local governments and state each to
finance rs per cent of the cost, with
the federal government supplying
the other so per cent.
