D. C. COAL CONTROL BODY STUDIED
******** *** *
$/65,000,000A skedfor U. S. Buddmgs
PRESIDENT
IS GIVEN
PUN
Congressman Madden Pre
sents Six-Year Program of
Construction for U. S.
A public buildings program, in
volving an expenditure of 1165,-
000,000 over a six-year period, was
recommended to President Cool
idge today by Congressman “Mar
tin ‘B. Madden, chairman of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee.
. The amount includes $15,000,000
for the carrying out of old build
ing projects authorised by legisla
tion qver ten years ago for which
money never has been appropri
ated.
Mellon Would Control.
The Madden plan . would give
Secretary of the Treasury Melloff
complete discretion as to what part
of this appropriation would be de
voted to construction of new de
partmental buildings of the District
of Columbia.
While Congressman Madden is hot
directly opposed to the measure
prepared by the public buildings
commission, which would give
Washington 150,000,000 for nr*
buildings, over a five-year period,
he is inclined to think hla omnibus
bill, virtually giving Secretary Mel
lon control over the entire appro
priation, is a better one.
Inasmuch as Secretary Mellon*is
known to be strongly in fayor of
erection of new buildings to house
the income tax unit and other Bu
reaus. there are good grounds for
believing that the local department
would receive liberal treatment un
der the Madden program. It is
certain that the 950,000,000 program
would be carried out under Secre
tary Mellon’s supervision, and it is
possible that an even larger amount
would be alloted to the city. ,
Reorganization Urged
Congressman Madden also made
'it known today that he favored
giving President Coolidge blanket
authority over the question of re
organizing the Federal departments.
He thinks this legislation would be
a proper solution for the tangle in
which Federal re-organization is
now involved. He does not think
there is much hope of pressing th-a
Smoot-Brown measure, carrying out
the recommendations of Con
gressional commission on re-or
ganization.
Such emphasis is placed by Con
gressman Madden upon the public
buildings bill that he favors its
enactment by the House directly
after passage of the tax bill and
the major supply bills.
Os these appropriation measures,'
It is Madden’s plan to postpone a
hearing on the District bill until
all the others have been disposed
of. He favors this action not be
cause of discrimination against
District affairs, but because cer
tain members of the House Dis
trict Committee will be absorbed
In hearing of other supply bills
until late winter,
MRS. ROSE A. BERMAN ASKS
FOR LIMITED DIVORCE
Alleging nonsupport, Mrs. Rose
A. Berman, 614 Fourth street north
east, today filed suit in the District
Supreme Court against Louis C.
Berman. 10ft7 E street northwest,
for a limited divorce and alimony.
Represented by Attorney D. Ed
ward Clarke. Mrs. Herman says
that her husband makes 950 a week
as a professional musician and that
he recently sold a billiard parlor
which he owned for 92.300 and falls
to support her.
Mrs. Btrman 1 alleges that after
he has finished his evening’s en
gagements as a musician he visits
Chinese restaurants with other
women coming home at late hours.
She asks the court to prevent Ber
man from leaving Washington
pending her suit. * They were mar
ried at Elkton, Md., March 23,
1925.
JUDGESETSVERDICT
ASIDE AS INADEQUATE
Justice William Hitz of the Di*
trict Supreme today set aside
as inadequate a verdict of $250
damages recently rendered by a jury
in the case of Wayne K. Wilson, jr.,
sixteen, who sued Thomas G. Borden
for 930,000 damages for injuries re
ceived in an automobile accident at
Tuxedo. Md., September 11, 1924.
The jury deliberated several hours
before reporting. Attorneys Mark
and Henrv Stearman appeared for
the boy, while ihe owner of’the car
was represented by Attormy H.

STARS IN COMING ST. PAT’S REVUE OF 1925

“The Washington" Is
Newest Dance
Dancing fans are due for another surprise!
The “Charleston” has had its day,'and, already near the
discard line, is to be replaced by a more intricate, yet less
vulgar step, which will be known as—one guess, Archie?
THE WASHINGTON! ; 1 ,
And the Nations) Capital will again be honored—this time
m the.scintillating name of syncopation. • :
A word About thia new dance
and whence it comes. Here’s the
"inside” story without a single
reservation:
When the St. Patrick Players
started rehearsals of their new fall
production, “The Patter Revue of
4925,” Ralph O’Brien, noted dance
director, opened his first getting-to
gether with, a curt announcement
that "he wanted only dancers who
had brains in Their feet. “I don’t
care what else you can do,” O’Brien
declared, "just as long as you
dance —and expertly.”
And that was that!
Intellectual Feet
His words evidently sunk deep
Into toddling heAds for the girls,
piqued a bit. set out to excel any
thing in dancing O’Brien had z ever
seen. And more especially did
Orme Libbey and Helen Ault, who
are featured in ”D. C.” the big
number in the first act, set them
selves to the tank of evolving, if
possible, some unique gyrations for
their own use.
Secretly these two rehearsed on
their own. And one night, when
the composer of the music of “D.
C.,” Agustin Borguno was trying
out the tune with them he noticed
they were doing some very clever
steps—hitherto unused.
But the steps were incomplete,
and O’Brien, when called in said:
“Good, but not good enough.”
Then, in a flash, while the two
were still stepping, absorbed in the
tempo of the moment, O’Brien
suddenly ekclaimed:
“I’ve got It!”
He took up the figurations
where the dancers had left them,
and within a few moments had
fashioned them, with changes and
additions, into a complete dance
movement.
“And.” he laughed, as the music
and steps seemed to embrace with
perfect synchronization, “we’ll call
it ‘The Washington’!”
“The Washington” is being used'
in “The Patter Revue of 1925,”
which opens at Carroll Hall, No
vember 16, with a company of
sixty-five of the finest of the Capi
tal’s non-professional stars in the
line-up.
, entire production was staged
by Helen Evans O’Neill, late star
of “Ben Hur," as to sketches and
skits, and Ralph O’Brien as to
dances and ensembles. The cos
tumee were designed and executed
under the personal supervision of
Madeline Baker, modiste de luxe
and the whole revue rehearsed and
played under the personal super- (
