Judges' Pay Will Advertise in Newspapers; Says Confidence in Courts Aids Prosperity Special Visvatch in Thr Tribune DETROIT, Oct.

Lord will sponsor a movement to the salary of United States Supreme Court judges to and that an ordinary Fed- eral judge to $25,000. says Mr. Ford, will make them independent of all I outside influence, and insure probity in i handling of cases. A nation-wide campaign with news- paper advertising is planned by Mr. Ford.

He feels that he must carry the idea to the man in the street. "We cannot have real prosperity un? less we have confidence," said Mr. Ford to dayJ "'The confidence in which our national prosperity is erected in first of i all a confidence in our laws and our. courts. We have too long been, inclined to think that prosperity was entirely i industrial.

"The olfl era from which we are now passing won't go without a protest. It will appeal to the courts. Wc must, place our courts outside those influences which have been so prevalent, in the old era by fixing the salaries of Federal judges at a figure that would leave them free to take all points of view into consideration and decide according to the higher code of President Ousts Kentucky Federal District Attorney WASHINGTON, Oct.

Reichsrat Accepts L. S. Treaty BERLIN. Oct. 6 (By the Associated Reichsrat, or Imperial Council, at to-day's session officially notified the Reichstag of its assent to the' peace treaty with the United States without modifications.

The New Play Percy Hammond Mr. Jolson Justifies in -Bombo" the Deed of the Shnberts in Nam? ing a Theater for Him THE AI Jolaon, Korresi Huff, Franklin A. Helle, Krltzj Von Busing, Vivien Oakland, Adair. Gladys Caldwell, Mildred Vern Buyes Cole and host? hosts ot others.

Mr. Jolson, as much as any minstrel, deserves to have his name honored as the rubric of a theater on Broadway or thereabouts. He is the most cele? brated of the negroid troubadours, and, moreover, he is, in fact, sole and un? paralleled in the. hymning of mellow street-songs, and in the cracking of easy, intimate jokes. The Messrs Shubert, therefore, per? form a gracious gesture when they sign his name to their newest play? house and bid that it be known as "Jolson's (Fifty-ninth Street) The? ater." To justify further this acco? lade of the public's esteem and that.

of Messrs. Shubert, Mr. Jolson wrought comic and melodious wonders last evening at his new headquarters, and emerged from a costly chaos of pretty women, pretty clothes, doggerel, hanky-pnnk, nursery tales and droll stories, the upstanding, if weary, fea? ture of our most infant entertainment. By that I mean that, he was, as he was meant to be, the "hit" of It has been remarked that, there are two kinds of Shubert extravaganza one with Jolson in it, the other with? out. Both, it may not be gainsaid, are popular.

But ''Bombo'' if you will forgive the alliteration, represents Jolson in his most industrious and his impressarios in their most prodigal moods. Mr. Jolson plays eagerly, as a child dors, perhaps, and his cntrc peneurs humor him his play? mates in front) with gorgeous and ex? pensive knick-knacks. The libretto of "Bombo'' needs these encouragements, so ennuied would it be without them; but since it gets them, who should worry Certainly not the First, or Eleven Dollar, audience which gathered last night at Jolson's Theatrr to see and to admire their favorite jongleur. We sat impatiently in our comfortable new chairs, while the other actors and dancers spread the red carpet of the plot preliminary to Mr.

Jolson's ap? pearance. He entered the proceedings, usual, as a black-faced servitor, to something in a librettist's dream, this time, no doubt, as assistant to Christo? pher Columbus, who was about to em? bark upon his discoveries. Mr. Jolson had to wait a long, long time before the uproar ceased. As dignified and as modestly proud as Garrick used to be on a first night, he received the plaud? its of those present.

Then he walked down to the edge of the stage, leaned over and confided to us that it was not. his fault that the prices of admission were so high, but J. Thereafter, now and then. Mr. Jolson lifted his voice, which is the People's Voice, in the primitive psalms of the theater and in the jests which never go over our heads.

His seraphic larnyx were employed in sounding the. melodies of "April Showers," for instance, which seemed to penetrate deep into his audi? ence's ears, though 1 cannot find the number on my program. A pretty song and lucidly rendered. Mr. Atteridge, the librettist, was of help here and there.

Once, during Columbus's voy? age to America, Mr. Atteridge caused Mr. Joison to ask Mr. Forest Huff, who impersonated the explorer, why pinochle vas not played on Ark. Columbus, not knowing why, in? quired and was told by Mr.

Jolson that it was because Noah sat on the deck. iWafitenaneBii WHITE STAR WINTER VOYAGES DE LUXE Azure blue of storied cities glory that was vivid modern life of Cairo, Athens, Naples, Monaco? these and all the deep sentiment associated with the cradle of our era within the gate of Gibraltar, are yours on one of the White Star winter voyages to the Mediterranean.

gf um International Mercantile Marine Company 9 Broadway, New York "Which comes first," some one queried i of some one else. "Rosh Hashana or Yom Klppur?" and the answer was: "1 I don't know. I haven't played the races i for a year." In the course of this dreamy pil grimage there are ballets, parades, pageants, evolutions and tab i leaux, all of them inhabited by cpmely women in colorful and barbarious vest? ments. The Misses Hart, Irene and Bernice, croon Southern songs softly, and show their bony, bare legs; Mr, Forrest Huff eloquently pronounces words of one syllable in two or more; Mr. Franklin Batie skillfully asks ques? tions for Mr.

Jolson to answer, and Mies Vivien Oakland, a handsome, quiet lady, impersonates Rosie, who, if I am not mistaken, is supposed to be enamored of the ebony Bombo. It is big. rich, gorgeous, ramshackle and routine mess, and it. proves Mr. Jolson to the most effective entertainer of his time.

Alice Frisca Makes New York Debut in Recital at Aeolian Occasion Marred, by Overdisplay of Force on Elegant Music, Show? ing Flaws of Technique Miss Alice Frisca gave her first piano i recital in New York last evening at A( olian Hall, Lorn in San Francisco, i she studied in that city with Pierre Douillet and Clarence Eddy. Recent she has given recitals in Paris and London. Unfortunately there is little that is auspicious to record of her New York debut. Superlatively endowed with proverbial Western energy, she pounded through her first group, which included Beethoven's Variations on "Xel Cor Piu Non Me Scarlatti's Capriccio and Dasuin's "Le Coucou with a force and speed wholly out of keeping with the elegance of this gentle Old World music. These characteristics of her playing reached a formidable climax in the final number of the group, Tausig's arrangement to Bach's organ toccata and fugue in minor.

Frisca evidently mistakes force for brilliance, but her energy oniy served to throw out in boid relief other defects in her playing, such as abuse of the pedal and a somewhat uneven technique, which made her prone to strike wrong notes. In the Bach num ber these occurred frequently. Alto gether in lier n'a ing last evening Miss Frisca more nearly resembled a noisy amateur than a professional pianist.
