MANAGER BILL IS PATCHED UP IN CONFERENCE Good as New After Foes Agree to Nullify Amendments. The house of representatives will be asked to send the Noll city manager bill on to third reading Monday with the context of the bill undamaged despite the disastrous series of amendments proposed by State Representative Lloyd Claycombe of Indianapolis, who has lead the anti-manager fight in the house. By changing and substituting words here and there Representative J. Glenn Harris of Gary and Claycombe have succeeded in nulli; lying the effect of the amendments which would have wrecked the city manager plan bill. An amicable agreement to do this was reached at a conference Friday night of Harris, Claycombe, Fred C. Gause, counsel for the city manager league, and former Mayor Charles W. Jewett, an enemy of the city manager plan. Vital Changes Made The proposed amendments, as changed, will be presented to Judiciary A committee of the house Monday at 10:30 a. m., and if indorsed by the committee, will be brought on the floor when the session opens at 11. The changes of the most importance are those which continue the various departments of the city government “until changed or abolished by ordinance.” The Claycombe amendment requires that the general assembly through special legislation had the only power to change or abolish the ’.wards. The new phraseology gives the city manager government that right. Cuycombe has consented, according to Harris, tc strike out his amendment which would permit the present city council to function under the city manager form of government and defining and prescribing the rights and powers of the council, which would have nullified any attempts of the city commission to change the form of government.

Elections Provided It also was agreed to cut out the amendment making the city manager the mayor of the city for ceremonial purposes, but retained the amendment providing that in event the supreme court holds the city manager law unconstitutional, the city election commissioners shall hold a primary for nomination of city officers sixty days after the decision is handed down by the supreme court. An amendment that will be added, provides that the election of the city commissioners shall be conducted by the regular board of city election commissioners, according to the provisions of the general election laws in so far as they are applicable. The city clerk, who will be appointed by the city commission is to be an ex-officio member of the election commission, the other two members to be a Republican and a Democrat. Salaries Increased Other amendments agreed upon, provide that; any group of seven or more candidates for city commissioners may appoint one challenger and one watcher in each precinct, the appointment to be fikd in writing with the election commissioners, salaries of commissioners shall be increased as follows: First class cities, $4,000; second class cities, $3,000; third class cities, $2,000, and fourth and fifth class cities, $1,00(1. It was only after a bitter parliamentary battle Thursday that Harris succeeded in showing the strength of the city manager proponents and had the Noll bill recommitted to his committee for any changes deemed necessary.

Held Over

■ •••

Fannie Brice

Fannie Brice has proven herself such an excellent drawing card in ‘‘My Man,” Vitaphone talking comedy drama, her first screen vehicle, that it will be held over for a second week at the Apollo starting today. Written especially for Miss Brice, “My Man” was inspired by the song of the same title which the comedienne made internationally famous. It is a story of theatrical life with the comedienne in the role of an ugly duckling who experiences but one love affair and suffers the sting of seeing the man to whom she is engaged,, appropriated by her young sister.

FRANCE TAKES STEPS TO EASE FARMPROBLEM Legislative Program Pends to Meet Increasing Crisis. (Thi* is the second of s series of stories on European farm relief problems. It deals with conditions m France.) BY SAMUEL DASHIELL United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Feb. 16.—The French agricultural problem is greatly similar to that of the United States. It centers about the scarcity of farm labor and the “spread” between the price which the farmer receives for his raw product and the price he has to pay for his finished materials. As in America, also, the government is striving to find a solution. The fact that 500,000 young men and women have deserted the farm acres for the factories and industrial life oi the city Jn the ten years since 1910 and that 2,223,900 acres were left uncultivated in the four years from 1920 to 1924, makes it a governmental problem. A review of the farm situtaion now being prepared for the U, S. department of commerce recites that the most important farm legislation in France, which has been in effect several years, is the credit agricole, providing state loans to farmers at low interest rates. New legislation before parliament contemplates: Anew housing plan, a scheme for social insurance which takes in every detail of farm labor protection; special grants for crop failures due to frost, floods or storms; establishment of premiums for raising of products wherein long waits and risks are necessary, such as in olive culture. Jean Hennessy, minister of agriculture, head of the family of cognac distillers, diplomat and political scientist, calls attention to the fact that parliament has voted 6,000,000 francs (about $234,000) for the improvement of wheat culture, of which 500,000 francs (about $19,500) will be employed by the institute of agronomic research for the creation and perfecting of different varieties of grain. Special credits will permit greater experimentation in methodical employment of fertilizers and funds will be provided for chemical destruction of parisitic plants, Hennessy said.

What’s a Leg! Women Too Worried Over Knees, Says Parisian Style Creator.

Bv United, Press NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Skirts are too short and women are spending all their new found freedom trying to keep them down over their knees, said Paul Poiret, Parisian fashion expert, before sailing for home today. But it won’t be long, he predicted, until American women will know how to dress properly. “In another fifteen years,” Poiret said, New York will have a style of fashion all its own, entirely separate from the Parisian. “What the American woman needs is a little more daring, a little more originality, more individuality in her dress. Fashions here are too standardized and too mannish.” It is estimated that out of a world population of nearly 1,800,000,000 about 680,000,000 are Christian.

EDITH MASON TO SING WITH CHOIR ‘All American’ Program Will Be Presented at Murat by Mendelssohn Organization. ACTIVE preparation for the annual spring concert of the Mendelssohn choir will begin next Tuesday evening at Hollenbeck hall In the Y. W. C. A. building, North Pennsylvania street, when 125 or more singers will assemble for a season of weekly rehearsals under the direction of Elmer Andrew Steffen, oonductor of the Mendelssohn choir. The concert will take place April 29 at the Murat theater. It will be the twelfth annual spring offering of the Mendelsaohnians and it will be featured as an "All-American” concert, because during the second half of the performance only the works of American composers will be presented. Having this “All-American” feature in mind, the management

of the Mendelssohn choir will bring Edith Mason, the famous American prlma donna soprano of the Chicago Civic Opera Company, as the guest artist of the concert. Among the American selections to be sung at this concert will be a new five-part chorus by James P. Dunn especially dedicated to the Mendelssohn choir of Indianapolis, which will be given its first public performance here. During the first half of the concert some of the old favorites sung before by the choir will be presented by request. Edith Mason, the distinguished soloist of this concert, is the outstanding American prima donna soprano of the decade. In a recent chat with Miss Mason, lyric soprano of the Chicago Civic Opera Company, she told something of her early life, and how an incident was the motivating influence that caused her to become a singer. Probably there are hundreds of young girls In the United States today who would make any sacrifice to hear a performance of Miss Mason in the Chicago Civic Opera Company, and it will be of interest to these to learn that not so many years ago Edith Mason had the same ambition anent another star, namely Emmy Destinn, w T ho was called the greatest Mme. Butterfly of her time. When a girl she attended the famous Ogontz school in Philadelphia, and even at that time (she was 12 years old) she was imbued with the idea of excelling the others in her class. To reward her success her mother decided to take the little girl to the opera, which happened to be Mme. Butterfly with Destinn and the famous Caruso. Vague dreams that had been floating through her head materialized as she sat enthralled in the sorrows of the hapless Butterfly, and then and there she made up her mind that before she died she also would sing Butterfly. Al-

though she kept it a secret from her mother, from that time her ambitions crystalized into the one of becoming a singer in opera, and she has made good her resolve. Needless to go through the long process by which she arrived, but today the name of Edith Mason is known throughout the world. She has sr v, ~ in most of the principal opera houses in Europe and America, and the critics have exhausted their vocabularies in telling of the beauty of her voice. The opera that was the means of her career, Mme. Butterfly, is one of those in which she excells, and for which naturally she has an extreme fondness. Those that have been fortunate enough to hear her in this role will never forget the sonorous sweetness of the entrance music for Butterfly, or the wonderful “D” m Alt with which Miss Mason finishes her entrance phrase. She is a shining example of what the American girl can attain to when she makes up her mind to do so. 9 9 9 Two recitals will be given next week by the Metropolitan School of Music.

SAINTHOOD IN I PROSPECT FOR MATINEE IDOL

Former Cavalry Officer Is Declared Martyr to Religion. BY N. REYNOLDS PACKARD United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Feb. 16.—Vicomte de Fouc&uld, once a soldier of fortune and matinee-idol of Paris, may be created a saint if the legends of his later beatific life, during which he is reported to have worked miracles, are proved true. A mission of Catholic priests has just left Algiers for the Hoggar in the French Sahara to investigate the stories of his martyrdom.

According to tales brought back by travellers from the parched interior of the desert, his body Is still in a perfect state of preservation although he was murdered in 1916 by Senoussist nomads. Three invalids w'ho have touched his remains are said to have been immediately cured. Ths mission, speaking Arabic and the dialects of the desert tribes, will particularly seek to confirm the almost incredible accounts of his sufferings * and sacrifices while he struggled to convert Mohammedan dissidents to Christianity and the cause of French occupation. The mission will report its findings to Pere Joveux, of the order of the White Fathers, who was appointed by the Pope in 1926 to obtain data on the religious life of Foucauld in connection with petitions for his canonization. Awarded Gold Medal After completing his military training at the Saint-Cyr College of France, young Lieutenant Foucauld, eager for adventure, became a cavalry officer in Africa. There he distinguished himself for bravery, abandon and daring. • He next left his regiment to study Arabic. Once master of the language he pretended he was a Jewish pilgrim and wandered through Africa, studying the habits and customs of the desert people. He traversed 2,250 kilometers during these travels and covered much of the distance ’Jarefooted through sun-baked sands. He then went to Paris and published a book on his travels, for which he was awarded a gold medal by the Societe de Geographic. Became Hermit Going to Asia Minor next, he entered a convent of the Clarisses as a humble kitchen-scully. After several years of this life of humility, he was ordained a priest in 1901 and immediately proceeded to

Africa. Here as a saintly hermit he was hailed by the tribesmen as a man of superior wisdom and almost divine understanding.^ The natives came to him for advice. He cared for the sick and injured. He acted as intermediary between the French and the belligerent nomads. He preached Christianity and pacification, urging the rebels, in the eloquence of their own language, to cease fighting. Unmindful of the torrid sun he trudged miles through the desj ert sands, extending his influence | day after. day. j The power of peace that he exercised over the people in the French Sahara became so strong that rebel leaders plotted to kill him in order to mobilize their forces against the rule of France. Some of his native followers were bribed and he was murdered by their hands in 1916. The first Christmas pantomime was produced at Drury Lane theater in 1702.
