CAPITALISM' HIT Bl WALSH “Capitaflism, it must be con ceded. has failed to provide adequately for those two ele ments which haunt the lives of workers the world over—suffi ciency and security.” This statement featured an address last night by the Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, at the George town Foreign Service School. The address was the nimh in a series comparing civilizations following the American and Russian revo ' lutions. Father Walsh declared that Russian Communism is super capitalism, embodied and en throned in an impersonal, soul less state which is rapidly accu mulating the worst vices without the virtues of its regenerated competitor. |AT YOUR THEATER TONIGHT ll| OFFICIAL PROGRAMS of Theater Member* of the Motion Picture Theater Owner* of District of Columbia rF nX | WARNER BROS.

Osborne and Howes are seeking to prevent the commissioners from paying R. G. Rankin and Company $14,000 in excess of the $20,000 estimated as the cost of the audit of the county books. Estimate Only While admitting the plaintiffs are residents of the county, the commissioners said that as far as paying taxes is concerned, if it be material, the complainants have not paid their taxes, but are parties to a suit protesting the payment of taxes. The figure of $20,000 was de clared merely to be an estimate. | as no reliable figures could be gathered until the books were examined with the proper aid 1 given by county officials and em ployes. Books Not Balanced There was nothing concerning j an audit of the school board’s I books in the contract, the an | I swer said. The books, however. 1 ■' were examined to determine the ' form of bookkeeping and were found to be in accordance with the State public school system law. It was found that the books of the county commissioners’ of fice “were not properly kept, erasures made and not balanced since July 1, 1915, while full co-operation was not forthcoming . from Berry E. Clark, deposed 1 clerk to the county commis sioners.” Sister Again Clears Alleged Distiller Dixie Curry, of Leonardtown, Md.. was cleared of liquor charges when his sister, who lives in Bal timore, testified that he was at her house the day that Federal agents said they saw him at a .still in Southern Maryland. | Several months ago Curry ap -1 peared before Commissioner J. j Frank Parran on a similar • | charge. At that time another j sister bore out his alibi. Piano Club Gives Recital Tonight The Washington Piano Club, directed by Mrs. W. A.
