KILGALLEN. NEW YORK, Dec. 80.—-A new peace plan, which would embrace the best points of the many pro posals made to effec# a settlement of the long drawn out anthracite coal strike, will have to emerge from the deliberations of the oper ators and miners if efforts to bring about permanent peace in the industry are to be successful. Uris was the view expressed today by some of the conferees, notably the union leaders, who frankly declared there was little chance that the Markle Peace Plan, the latest submitted, would be accepted as it stands. Q tiwoMd to AibtCratfon -‘-'imaa ioint ■ncßosrmee waa..lSM. in geTCng startßrTodly the Markle plan, and other pro posais, up to midnight. But the miners were’up early and breakfasted in a body, »t which, time they again went over the Markle proposal in detail. They granted that this plan of Alvin Markle, big independent coal operator of Pennsylvania and im partial chairman of the Joint con ference, was of hie own conception, and that he was sincere in offering it. "But,” said one of tho union leaders, "it is not acceptable to 1 us—it is only another form of arbitration. And we arc opposed to arbitration.” r It was conceded by leaders of both sides that the question of arbi tration is the main obstacle in the path of peace at present. The operators regard Lie Markle plan with favor. Under the plan a fact-finding committee would be appointed, a ten-year contract would be made, revisable each year at the request of miners or operators, and the books of the operatois would oe open to the committee. The men would go oack to work at once at the wages prevailing August 31. This would be their pay until the new contract would become effective, September 1, 1926. Union leaders made it plain they preferred the Pinchot plan which calls for a five-year agreement, a (Continued on Page 2, Column 7.) NEW N. Y. POLICE CHIEF -4/w s Mayor James J. Walker and George V.

HUTCHINSON Although numerous pitfalls will itrew the legislative pathway of Congress in the new year, it became apparent today that the Administration will face its great est problem in the effort to ob tain ratification Os the >2,000,000,- 000 Italian debt settlement. The Italian pact will be fought, It was definitely learned, by a Senatorial coalition of independent Republicans, the Insurgent bloc and a Boat of Democrats which may develop sufficient strength to jeopardize the settlement, even though the House should approve it. From the attitude of various spokesmen, it was indicated the debt pnet .will meet far ttiore seri ous kippotition Chan either the World or R* tax reduction hilt Johnson Joins Opposition The growing opposition to ac cepting the terms laid down a month ago by the Italian and American Debt Commissions was increased today by Senator Hiram W. Johnson (R.) of California. Johnson announced he wopld op pose the pact and demand further information before even considering it in the Senate. •'Unquestionably, there wIU be a contest In the Senate over ratify ing the Italian settlement," said Johnson. "We will demand addi tional information concerning the basis for this settlement and why these extraordinary terms were given to Italy.** The Italian pact already has been attacked by Senator Borah (R.) of Idaho, chairman of the Senate For eign Relations Committee. Borah said he would oppose all settlements which did not conform to the terms given Great Britain. This would include' tiio Belgian settlement as well as Uie Italian pact. A similar view also was given by Senator Norris (R.) of Nebraska, leader of the insurgent bloc. Because of this threatening op position, Administration leaders have agreed to postpone considera tion of the Italian pact until all other urgent legislative matters have been enacted. This would place the pact’s con sideration behind that of the World THE WASHINGTON TIMES TM Nrtimtal DaUji WEPNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1925 POSEOJSBME 111 WIL FRMJD i By InCernetiMMl News Servtee ST.

Guy B. Zepp, prominent in the Washington realty world, was stated to be the present manager of Lewis-built homes. This was incorrect, as Mt.

In the meantime, of course, the subject will be brought frequently Into Senatorial debate While. the tax bill is under discussion Smoot Is Optimistic Although the Italian pact will be delayed, administration forces will seek to obtain approval of the Belgium. Czechoslovakian, Rumanian and Esthopian settlements. There is no opposition to the latter four while a general feel ing has existed that Belgium should be given the lenient terms provided by the American com mission. Despite the gloomy outlook, Sen ator Smoot (R.) of Utah, member of the American commission and in charge of the pacts, remained optimistic. “We will get all the debt pacts ratified,” paid Smoot. “There may be some delay over the Italian set tlement but In the end. it will be ratified."

Lord, direc tor of the budget, objects to criti-' clsm of the work of the bureau by Lieut. Col. C. O. Sherrill, retiring director of Public ’Buildings and Public Parka This is revealed in a letter of complaint the budget director has written president Coolidge, which has been forwarded to Sherrill on the eve of his departure for Cin cinnati, where he will be city manager. The letter asks the P/esident to restrain Colonel Sherrill from criti cising the alleged parsimonious at titude of the budget bureau toward the development of the National Capital’s park systtim, on the grounds that such criticism is in violation of the policy laid down by the President requiring bureau heads to co-operate with the budget bureau. Lord' objects in particular to a speech made by Colonel Sherrill recently before the Garden Club of America in Philadelphia, in which Lord was arraigned j for withhold ing funds with which to purchase park lands. The Garden Club adopted resolu tions calling on the country to sup port more liberal appropriations for Washington’s park system. Colonel Sherrill leaves today for Cincinnati to accept his new post.

He admitted that he was attired only in an under garment when arrested but assert ed he had removed his clothing when it became apparent he would have to remain with Miss Jenkins to minister to her illness for a considerable time. Miss Jenkins said she wore only a night gown, but was in bed. Several witnesses testified that Miss Jenkins was subject to at tacks of illness which resulted in such pain that she was unaware of her actions at such times. The trial was attended by a dis tinguished gathering of churchmen and educators, including the presi dents of several colleges, many of whom appeared as character wit nesses for the two defendants. After the verdict, Brabham testi fied that “before God, he was In-’ nocent.’’ 3

6 PAST AND PRESENT MEET AT BLUE AND GRAY BENEFIT BALL VETERANS OF CIVIL WAR “STEP OUT” Join With Maids of Today in Brilliant Ball for Stone Mountain N O “blue boys" "seemed to be in evidence at the bell—the Blue and Gray—given last evening at The Mayflower Hotel for the benefit of the Stone Moun tain Memorial, but there were fully a dozen silver-haired old dears Wearing the gray of ’6l-’ss. These •‘stepped out” in the show part of the ball—the dancing of the Vir ginia reel, the lancers and square dances, which were features early in the evening—with an agility that Zould serve well in the Charleston. Representatives of the up-to-date military were seen here, there and everywhere. From midshipmen of all sizes on vacation for the holi days .wearing th«Br uniforms with youthful satisfaction on through the various grades of officers and culminating in uniformed generals, such as General Amos A. Fries, for instance. Present, too, were several of the “old school" whom one rarely sees away from home after dark. In deed, the ballroom floor and the double tier of boxes encircling the room were filled with the most varied collection of people that has been seen at a festival here for many a moon. Throughout the evening there was never a shortage of things to interest one. Color a-plenty! And the evening lasted anti] 2 d’clock this morning. Paris Frocks During the closing hours of the ball several groups of young girls, wearing lovely Parisian frocks, and their escorts came in evidently from some earlier party and danced until the end. The boxes were flag-draped and many were named for leaders of the North and South during the Civil War and were occupied by their descendants, who entertained guests. Over one box was a bust of Sam Davis, evidently a man of •distinction during this period of civil strife, but from the remarks overheard his reputation has not ex tended very far among the ranks of the present. Rear Admiral and Mrs. Cary T. Grayson, who have been taking much interest in the Stone Moun tain project, received the guests, who arrived early—and most of the important ones did arrive on time -10 o’clock. Page Mr®. Henderson Shortly after this reception ar pro gram was given in which prac tically all of those costumed in the fashions of long ago took part. And there wore many quaint fig ures—maids and matrons, young, middle-aged, and elderly—clad in gowns whose length would hays de lighted the eye of John B. Henderson, concerned with her Don Quixotic venture in making the past to live again in the dress*:of the girls and women of the present.

-'I, 44 I® r z f /AH *v IrV ’’’i r r l lKSi jb i MISS JANET MOFFETT*AND STODDARD In the picturesque costume of Civil War days, in which they danced at the Blue and Gray ball last night. The program consisted of old-time songs and dance® under the direc tion of Miss Elizabeth Howry. The opening number was a Vir ginia reel led by Mrs. Robert E. Lee, widow of a son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the Confederate leader, and Rev. Meade Bolton Maqßryde. Mrs. Lee wore a gown of her grand mother’s, -of the ’6O vintage. It was a beautiful creation of black satin fashioned with a very full hoop skirt and flounces of marquise lace at the bottom and midway up. She wore a shawl of cream with a deep fringe, which is 150 years old. It was followed by a set of lanc ers .and an old-fashioned waltz, danced by Miss Janet Moffett, Miss Ruth Stoddard. Miss Craig, Miss Dorothea Lane, Laird Dunlop, Capt. Robert Henderson, Jr., the Rev. Meade Bolton Macßryde and Man nix Walker. Miss Moffett and Miss Stoddard looked perfectly precious in their old-time hoop-skirted, tight-bodlced frocks and their hair arranged in soft curls. Patriotic Tableau The final number of the program was a patriotic tableau symbolizing the peaceful reunion of the North and South to make the beautiful “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.” Mrs. William Laird Durtlop was the liberty-loving lady of the picture. Some of the Interesting ladies harking back to the Confederacy, who enjoyed the ball tremendously and who In turn, were very much enjoyed, were such picturesque ones as Mrs. John G. Walker, widow of General Walker. who lives in an apartment at the Toronto and who was wearing her customary cream laoe cap falling In soft folds to the shoulders: and Mrs. Marcus Wright, widow of a Confederate general, who was escorted by General and Mrs. Fries; and Mrs. Louise Long street Whelchel, daughter of Gen. James Longstreet, whb was with her brother. Capt. Lus Longstreet. Captain Longstreet has an apart ment in the old Chateau Bonaparte on K street, which he owns. Mr. and Mr®. William Atherton DuPuy, hosts of the Arizona box, had among their guests Mr. and Mr*- Norman L. Orme and Miss Julia Lee Orme. THE WASHINGTON TIMES TA. National Dotty WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 30, 1925 MISS JUUA ORME WINS PRIZE WITH CIVIL WAR DRESS In the role of her own grand mother, bonny Miss Julia Lee Orme won the prise, for the pret tiest* and most authentic costume of the civil war period worn at the Blue and Gray Ball last night. Choice was made by a committee of judges, of which Miss Eliza beth Howry was the chairman, and the award was a Stone Moun tain Memorial coin, diamond set, and designed to be worn as a pendant. Wearing a gown of green tulle, full skirted and garlanded In roses, with a fichu of old lace and her hair dressed in the curls of’ the ’6o's. Miss Orme looked to the life that Julia Overall, who was one of the heroines of the civil war.; The story goes thus. The Union troops descended upon the Overall home near Front Royal, Va.. one day and demanded break fast. While it was being prepared and their arms stocked in the door, the daughter of the house, aged sixteen or thereabouts, gath ered up their rifles, raced fleet footed into Front Royal and re turned with a detachment of gray coats at her back. iw ___ m &n®sig I I (For f/ie Holiday Festivities and to Add m Enjoyment to Your Southern Sojourn $7.50 j H to w i I $12.50 J)FSJ g j n I The season is at hand for formal dinners, balls, theater parties, elaborate holiday functions.

For Miss Boyle wore the very gown of ivory white brocade which this lovely Georgetown belle had on when she waa mar ried in 1840 to the distinguished Russian diplomat. As a compliment to her bride groom, Miss Williams wore the Russian Kakoshhik instead of the traditional wedding veil; and, al though the original headdress is now lost, pretty Miss Boyle wore a duplicate, very becoming and in effective contrast to her gown. In the same effective costume she took the part of Baron Bo desco’s bride in the pageant of old Georgetown last year.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES TA* National Dotty WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1923 BEWARE OF THIS PRIMA DONNA’S IfFTHOOK “As the princess in the opera ’Tambourine* I’m wiling to be as charmingly feminine the power of make-up will let ,me, but I’m doggoned if I’ll be called ‘Sweetie’ on the campus.” This is the" warning Daniel S. Warner, leading lady of the Michi gan Opera 'which plays "at the. Washington *N e w x Year Eve, issued to his student friends recently. After some of the boys had seen Warner do his stuff In the show they dubbed him "Sweetie.” “I may look sweet but I swing a mean left hook,” warned War ner so convincingly that his .pals have decided it isn’t such a funny joke after z All and are back to the old sdbriquet of “Dan.” Warner is making a real hit as “leading lady” >ln the show from reports in cities where “Tambourine” has already -been. The book was written especially to feature his dancing and acting. The new star had a feminine lead in last year’s show "Tickled to Death" and at this time was recognised as a coming star. His work in this year’s produc tion is one of the outstanding attractions of the opera. WARDIAN PARK— “The Devil.” Molnar—that Inevitable Hun garian of the satiric pen—came in for a theatrical inning in Washington last night when the Thomas Herbert' Stock Company presented his fantastic comedy, "The Devil,” out at the Ward man Park ter perfect as to cast and mounted in simple tasted "The Devil” fell short of being' the fantastic com edy Molnar intended when he wrote it. It jusj didn’t "dick.’’ A shortage of talent was per haps at fault and a thoroughly good play sagged in the middle. Parker Fennelly, as "the devil,’’ played the principal role sinous ly rather than satanically, and Ruth Harrison, Ben Cain, /jr., and Robert L. Clear failed to get wholly within speaking distance of their respective roles. A pity, but true. v Mary Keene, young, pretty and cast in just an off-hand role, seemed the most real in her deliverance of verbal gym nastics. With more direction she probably will develop. At least she has a flairs, a flashing indi cation of talent. As a theater evening, "The Devil” was weak by professional standards, but fairly presentable for a hastily coached troup.

Fevdr for one’s art is not the same as fervor fpr more plebian chores. The more fervid a poor actor I or a poor painter is, the stronger our he is in the wrong business. On the other hand we are prbne to snatch from I the victor’s, brow, in a prise fight or a marathon, the laurels right- I fully his and plant them on the loser who worked harder to win. But the higher-browed pursuits, such as the stage, when you get ardor, energy and achievement, you have something and this is I what I am told is being dished up at the Little Theater this Week. I

In the three weeks of its existence this aggregation has been a breadliner; down on its luckr heavily out of pocket, but it has gone ahead, blinding its eyes to the stiffer competitions of Christmas, Claus to go away and shouting “Thalia be praised.” I Monday the stage hands were let out, there being no money to I pay them. The actors turned their hands with hammer and saw I and paint brush and needle. Sets and props were procured, cos tumes arranged. “But, why?” asked One mem ber of the company, “all this fuss when we haven’t the script* for the play!” 1 This was Monday morning. And the play was to go on Mon day night. No script, im-. provised sets, and only the ver iest tinkle at the box office. Someone hurriedly dashed to the Congressional Library, cop ied the printed play, made a dozen carbons and at 2 o’clock rehearsals were on. Tuesday night the cast was completely up in its lines. A second perusal of the reviewer’s report doesn’t quite substantiate all I have said about ardor, energy and achievement, but I still maintain that if they did no more than drag their bodies across the stage, the players did a pretty good job and a com mendable one. GIRL SCOUTS GIVING FOR BROWNIES The home of E. C. Graham, Car roll avenue extended, TakomaPark, is the scene this afternoon of a party given for all Brownies, girls too young to be -scouts, by the Girl Scouts. Mr. Graham's home has been loaned to the scouts for social and athletic purposes. There now are five associations of Brownies. One meets at Noel House, Seventeenth and Kramer Streets Northeast, under the direc tion of Miss Katherine Wylie; an other at Blair School, directed by Miss Margaret Eustis; a third at Lyon Park, Va., under the direc tion of Mrs. Arthur Orr, the fourth in the new library, Sixteenth ana Lamont Streets Northwest, and the fifth at the Chifrch of the Transfig uration, Sixteenth and Gallatin Streets Northwest. p— “A Dollar Saved is a Dollar Made.” Your oculist prescrip tions accurately filled. 25% off standard prices.
