U.S. OFFICIAL REJECTED
j* BY CITY IN ENGLAND
Vice Consul Outright Objectionable !
to Nottingham on Account of
Newspaper Letters.
NOTTINGHAM, England, via London,
January* CO.?On account of letters <
written by him and published in a ! <
nptrsnnnpr at T innrtln Wh Tnhn T! 1
Cutright, newly accredited American
vice consul at Nottingham, did not
take up the duties for which he came
to this city, but returned to London.
Mr. Cutright departed from Nottingham
after he had been informed by the
mayor and other city officials that he
would not be acceptable as vice consul
because his newspaper letters were
regarded as expressive of pro-German
sentiments.
Before coming to Nottingham Mr.
Cutright served as American vice consul
at Coburg. Germany. While there
be wrote the letters to which the Nott
ngham officials took exception.
Mr. Cutright is a son of John Cutright.
editor of the Lincoln Star, and
formerly private secretary of William
.1. Bryan. The son, a graduate of the
I'niversity of Nebraska, had been In
the consular service only a few months.
Cutright Recalled.
John L. Curtrlght, American vice
consul at Nottingham, England, was
recalled, according to a statement today
by Secretary Bryan, because a letter
written by Mr. Curtrlght and published
in an Omaha paper "contained
expressions of opinion in regard to the
war." A report from Nottingham said
Mr. Curtrlght had left there for London
after being informed by the mayor
and other city officials that he would
not be acceptable as vice consul at that
place.
Secretary Bryan's statement, after
declaring that the denartment fcari nn
confirmation from Nottingham that Mr.
<*utright had been informed that his
presence there as an official was objectionable,
adds: v
"'Upon receiving word that he had left t!
Coburg notice was sent to him at Not- \
tingham which he received upon his f
arrival and the department was in- _
formed several days ago that he would p
sail from Europe on the 18th. Re- a
ceiving later information that he had a
gone to London instructions were sent
to him there in care of the embassy a
to return at once to the United States." ...

P
Fetworth Citizens Postpone Action b
on Eesolution Commending Effort *
4 p |
of Senator Shannon! ..
? X-X?~? *<
When a resolution commending the
effort of Senator Morris Sheppard of
Texas to put a prohibition amendment ^
in the District of Columbia appropriation
bill was introduced by Jesse
<\ Suter at a meeting of the Petworth q
?'itizens* Association last night, it re- ^
suited in an exchange of views which a
indicated that there is a wide differ- Ci
ence of opinion among the members
concerning the propriety of rider p
legislation.
C. J. James, president of the associa- r,
tion, declared ho considered rider Cl
legislation such as that proposed by g
Senator Sheppard vicious. C1
"Senator Sheppard represents a state f.
which has voted down prohibition,"
said Mr. James. "He is attempting to
bring about prohibition in the District
in order to gain favor with a o;
minority in his state that favors pro- q
hibition by shoving down the throat of 5
the District of Columbia something ..
that he knows it does not want." jj
Favored by E. W. Oyster. tl
E. W. Oyster spoke in favor of rider
legislation, saying that if it had not tl
been for this type of legislation the si
Jones-Works excise law could not have
been accomplished. He also spoke In *
ravor 01 promotion. r
"Let the brewers turn their plants P
into paper or flour mills," said Mr. 6
Oyster.
When the discussion turned to the
matter of a referendum vote in the
District to determine the wishes of {
the citizens regarding prohibition C. T.
Richardson suggested that action on I
the resolution commending Senator
Sheppard be postponed until the next t
meeting in order that the entire mem- c
bership of the association may be given
an opportunity to vote.
"In this way we will at least get
the opinion of Petworth citizens," said
Mr. Kichardson.
-Mr. Richardson's suggestion was
adopted, and in the call for the next
meeting of the. association mention will
be made that the resolution commendrig
Senator Sheppard will be considered.
Advocates Single Tax. s
?
"Tax Reform in the District of Columbia"
was the subject of an address
??y Jackson If. Ralston, delivered after
the regular business had been conclud- S
? d. Mr. Ralston's address was devoted
almost exclusively to a general explanation
of the single tax idea, and but
Mttle reference was made to the District.
The present plan of taxation in
ogue almost everywhere is illogical
and oppressive, he said,
bl. W. Oyster, member of the board of
ix assessors and also an advocate of
'he single tax, told the members of the
association what the system of single
taxation would mean to Petworth. lie
.llustrated his remarks with a chart
showing the square bounded by Georgia
avenue and fcth street and Randolph
and Shepherd streets. If the single
tax system were in vogue, he said,
the Improved lots In this square would
be taxed $550 less and the unimproved
lots would be taxed $200 more. The
saving In taxes would be $350 for the
square, he said.
The committee on transportation reported
on the running schedule now in
tween Louisiana avenue and I'pshur 1
street, which is believed to be satisfac- i
tory. The schedule is only temporary i
and haa not been definitely agreed upon
by the public utilities commission.
The committee on streets and sidewalks
reported that a letter had been
sent to the Commissioners directing at
Antlnn ?n i 1
needed In Petworth.
The association held its meeting in i
the newly completed First Ignited Presbyterian
Church. New Hampshire avenue
and Randolph street.
Resolutions urging the Commission
rs to take steps to carry out that nor
lion of the McMillan park plan which :
provides for the widening of Varnum 1

and the east ?ate of the Soldiers' Home
were adopted.

ORATORIO SOCIETY SINGS
MESSIAH FOR BELGIANS
Robert Maitland of England Hakei
Bow Here in Bus, Scoring
Decided Approval.
The Washington Oratorio Society,
which, in the three years since its
organization, has become a notable
factor in the musical life of the city,
ivas greeted by a capacity audience
ast evening, when It presented Hanlei's
"Messiah" at the Church of the
Covenant, under the direction of Sydley
Lloyd Wrightson. The solo parts
vere sustained by Ethel Holtzclaw
lawler. soprano; Beulah Harper, conralto;
Richard P. Backing, tenor, all
)f this city, and Robert Maitland, bass,
>f England, now resident In New York.
Much interest centered in Mr. Maitland,
who had been heralded as one of
the foremost oratorio singers of the
English school today. His voice is
rich and mellow as the diapason of an
jrgan, and his recitatives and arias
were given with authority, poise, fine
vocalization and clear enunciation. Especially
effective was his rousing interpretation
of the arias, "Why Do the
Nations So Furiously Rage Together?"
ind "The Trumpet Shall Sound."
Mrs. Gawler, in spite of the handicap
>f a severe cold, was at her beet In
'Rejoice Greatly, O Daughter of Zion,"
md "How Beautiful Are the Feet of
rhoee That Preach the Gospel of
F?eace," In the second part of the oraorio.
Mr. Backing's singing of "Every Val- 1
ey" proved his voice acceptable In tone ,
luality. It was, however, in "my ??>uke
Hath Broken His Heart" and "Be- '
lold and See If There Be Any Sorrow," <
n which he made strongest appeal to ,
lis hearers. (
Miss Harper gave her numbers, es>ecially
"He Shall Feed His Flock," an 1
ntelligent and devotional interpreta- ?
ion that was effective. (
Chorus Work of High Order. ?
The chorus, numbering 140 voices, '
?as well balanced and the work ?
hroughout of a high order. Mr.
Frightson's reading was reverent and t
ree from eccentricities, and the fugal ,
assages, in which the choral numbers '
bound, were developed with clearness
nd massive climaxes.
The numbers bad been rearranged '
nd the performance closed with the '
Hallelujah Chorus," the audience, as 1
ell as the chorus, following the long- a
stablished custom of standing throughlit
this impressive number. "
At the organ was Harvey Murray, ?
110 played the leads and accompani- ,
lents with a master hand, and, as the
reiude to the oratorio, rendered Han- 1
el's celebrated ,rLargo." The per
jrmance will be repeated this even- ^
lg. No cards of admission will be re
uired, the doors being opened to the 1
ublic at 7:45 o'clock, the performance t
eginning at 8:15 o'clock.
Fifty per cent of the collection which '
111 be taken up during the evening j
ill be given, after the expenses are ,
aid, to the Belgian minister to be "
>rwarded to the war sufferers. 1

THE WHEAT EMBARGO.
A Plea for the Farmer to Have a
Chance to Profit.
To the Editor of The Star:
We are told that an effort will be
made to place an embargo on the export
of wheat In order to bring down
the price. Why should those who have
been toiling for the production of a
crop of this cereal be arbitrarily deprived
of their present opportunity, one
which occurs only at intervals of forty
or flfty years? The producer of the
wheat crop has been systematically
robbed by farm machinery men, produce
commission houses and banks for
a lifetime. Here we have a situation
In the rise of wheat, not of our own
creation, which bids fair to help the
farmer pay his bills, with wheat at
only $1.35. if wheat should go to
$2.50 and stay there for three years it
would be no more than he needs and
give him an opportunity to extricate
himself from debt. Why should an op
portunity such as this is ?e rudely
snatched from the possession of the

man who has tho clearest and best
right to it?
A farmer has to borrow money to
move his crops, and cannot earn anything
at all on wheat unless the price
is over $1 per bushel. He should not
have to borrow. He borrows on a note
with two names on it, his own and another.
The note bears a clause in
which he waives notice, waives protest,
and last but not least waives the
benefit of homestead exemption; his
indorser does the same.
The bank has therefore the security
of two farms, all the live stock?im fact,
everything?and in addition gets 6 per
cent interest for the accommodation.
We observe the fruits of this in widely
advertised bank statements.
The rate of interest (6 per cent) is
greater than any farmer can afford to
pay unless the price of 52.50 per bushel
for wheat prevails.
The homestead exemption law was
originally framed and enacted. I pre
sume, to protect the farmer against
any and all contingencies which might
arise and which might be termed the
act of God, as they would Include destruction
of crops by storms, etc.

note willingly (apparently) renounce
this protection.
So commonplace is this clause now
that I doubt whether four-fifths of Che
farmers of the country know it is on
the note or appreciate its meaning:. It
should be prohibited for banks to force
any such agreement on a farmer,
either directly or indirectly.
The borrower walks out homeless,
hungry, discouraged, burdened with
sorrow and perhaps even with debt, if
at forced sale the security was still ostensibly
inadequate. He becomes apathetic,
useless, and finally dies of a
broken heart long before his time. 1
Years of healthy toil would not have "
brought him to this pass, but he has ,
been legally cheated of his homestead ,
rights, and when by the rise in the
price of wheat the opportunity comes, '
after a lifetime of waiting for him to <
lift himself from the slough of debt
into which he had been thrust, he finds .
an iron grating, an embargo, thrown ,
across the slousrh which nrevents anv
thins but his heart from emerging.
Enough for him to see and hear that in
the final analysis he has been again j
cheated.
