PRO-JAP SPEECHES GIVEN PREFERENCE ON RADIO, CHARGE Senator Shortrigde Asks Hoover to Investigate Corporation's Tokio Relations.

Washington, May 5-Charging that those advocating Japanese exclusion had not been given fair treatment in radio broadcasting. Senator Shortridge, Republican, of California, has asked Secretary Hoover to determine the relations of the Radio Corporation of America with the Japanese Government. The California Senator announced today that the reply of the Commerce Secretary would determine his course with respect to a possible investigation by Congress. Senator Shortridge charged that he was invited by the Radio Corporation to deliver an address April 29. but that later he was informed through his secretary that the date was May 29, and in addition that he must submit an advance copy of his speech.

Representative Free, Republican, of California, endorsing Senator Shortridge's demand, declared he, too, was asked for an advance copy of a manuscript which he declined to furnish. Both Senator Shortridge and Representative Free complained that the opposition to Japanese exclusion had been broadcast in undue proportion by the corporation and that the contractual relations between it and the Japanese Government should be public. F. P. Guthrie, Washington manager of the Radio Corporation, declared the corporation had a contract with Japan, but denied that any censorship or refusal to have Senator Shortridge speak was contemplated.

A mistake was made in the speaking date, he said. "We would be glad to have him come and speak at any time, on the Japanese question or any other ne desires," he added. The corporation desires advance copies of speeches, Mr. Guthrie explained, so that they can be sent to the newspapers.

May it come what it will I have done it out of deep love, grief and depression." The other note was this: "Please bury me near to or with Virginia in the same cemetery. Death has cleared everything. She is again my love." These two scribbled missives were recovered by Detectives Robinson and Galvin of the Fort Hamilton station. Forced Attentions on Girl. The story of the shooting is that of an erratic man of 34 who persisted in forcing his attentions on a child and who had been warned to desist.

He again pressed his advances yesterday afternoon when she was trying to master her arithmetic lesson. "Go away, Wladimir, I'm studying." she said. A torrent of hot words poured from the rebuffed man. Then he drew his gun and shot her. The Arg bullet struck her in the ribs.

She silently and grimly struggled with him. as scratches on his arms bore testimony to. Twice more he shot her and she collapsed in the chair. The shooting took place in the home of Sigismund Dattner, an attache of the Polish Consulate and brother-in-law of the dead man, who had lived there as a boarder 10 vears ago. Mr.

Dattner had gone to New Jersey to deliver a lecture. He had warned Idzikowski to cease his attentions to the girl or he would have to forbid him to the house, and the man had promised to control himself. Adam Dattner, 14, discovered the crime. Playing in the he heard the shots and went into the house, Anding the two dead on the floor. WIDOW GETS BULK OF MAREAN ESTATE (Special to The Eagle.) Norwalk, May 5-Mrs.

Coney Island was not the most popular place in the city yesterday, but more than 250,000 a steady tatto on the Boardwalk. About 300 sported in the surf, most of them Manhattan Beach, where several hundred stood in line signing up for season lockers. Rumors had sprung up over the week that there would be a general boost in the price of bathing houses.

Matthew Murray, manager at Manhattan, as well as other bathhouse managers, denied it. At Manhattan the weekday price of 75 cents and the Sunday toll of $2 will prevail, for the season. Murray sald.

ONE WORD AFTER ANOTHER By NUNNALLY JOHNSON A Good Cry May Be Had Any Sunday Afternoon by Attending a Jewish Musical Comedy on the Bowery. SUNDAY atternoons, when work piles high before one, with stories to be written, with the weekly mending to be done for the first time in three weeks, with socks to be darned, knives to be sharpened, home brew to be stirred, the hundred and one homely duties that are constantly arising, it is pleasant not to do any of them. As one pauses to consider in what other way the afternoon may be inost nicely spent, what is more likely to spring into the mind than an inclination to attend the matinee of a Jewish musical comedy on the Bowery? Down in that neighborhood there is indeed a theater world that is selfsufficient.

Its limits do not run much further north than 14th but within its area it is famous. Who outside, for instance, knows that there is an amazingly loved star of the musical show named Mollie Picon? Who among those that know all about "Little Jessie James' and Poppy" and the "Follies' realizes that "Yankele" has Just ended a run 01 many months, making much money? Who would guess that there is a play in New York jammed at each performance far worse than any on Broadway? Who would guess that this show is "Bendel in Japan?" What do the names Max Gabel and Jennie Goldstein mean outside of the lower East Side? But who hasn't heard of the famous Jewish chorus girls? Max Gabel and Jennie Goldstein were playing in a "musical comedydrama" called "Dearer Than Life" yesterday afternoon, but which of the players they were I could not tell for certain. since there were 11O programs. I guessed, though, by the great applause on sight that Gabel was the comedian and that Miss Goldstein was the stoutish and highly emotional young woman who played the principal female role. was she, I also guessed, who had lost something dearer than life.

It was all in Yiddish. at which I am a very poor hand, knowing but two words in the language, both iniproper, but this I saw plainly: that for any kind of show bearing the description "comedy" it was the most tragic ever produced. The whole atmosphere was purposely sad, depressing. People were wronged, people's hearts were broken, people lost dear ones. One of the leading characters was a rabbi, an apostolic figure, and an impressive part of a synagogue service was counterfeited on the stage.

The musical accompaniment was slow-tempoed, wailing, mournful--the moans of a tortured heart. A cantor appeareda mighty favorite with the audience -and. with a choir of small boys and shawl-dreped women, chanted sadly. A gray-haired mother broke down and cried. An outraged father flung wide the door and pointed Into the night, and a daughter, head bowed, weeping softly, staggered out.

The music played on, slowly, dejectedly. This went on for an act and a half, with nothing to show even in a suggestion that "Dearer Than had any right to be called a comedy, even in part. Once my hopes rose that I might be able to understand a littleOne of the characters said. very distinctly. "Excuse me, please." It was in English.

Here. I said, is fellow who will put me wise to what this is all about. But no, his English phrase was a "catch line." He repeated it again and again, and everybody finally got' to laughing at it. Why, I couldn't tell. And then in the middle of the second act the audience was astounded to see a tall, not ungraceful young man rise suddenly from his seat.

rush down the aisle, spring over the footlights and kiss the horrifled young lady who was singing on the stage. It was The Eagle re- A BUICK Touring Car FREE!

Death came yesterday while the aged man lay on his sick bed in the quarters of the Dreamland Circus at Coney Island. He had been suffering from pleurisy. Barnum discovered Bowen at an Ohio country fair. Bowen leaves a wife and four sons. He was born in Fremont, Ohio, in 1842, MENTALITY OF GIRL AT BEDFORD TO BE TESTED (Special to The Eagle.)

"Dearer Than Life' was proceeding with its native tragedy when, for no reason at all, this young lady came on the stage in burlesque Bowery tough girl costume end began to sing in English what sounded like a variation of the ular song of a year or SO ago.

I am certain that her appearance in this particular ploy could be Justified by no law or logic.

The apostoiic rabbi retired. The gray -haired mother raised her hands in horror. The broken-hearted daughter halted her sobs for the moment. The entire play was held up pending the singing of a tough song in English. It was good to hear the old language again.

was good to com prehend words once more. The Eagle reporter's heart went cut to this young lady. She was supplying something from which he alone the audience was not excluded. She was like a letter from home. And vet, when you come to think of it, what was the sense of sending her out to sing that particular song at that particular time in that particular kind of play? She.

The character. though, seemed a9 amusing to this audience as it does at the Columbia burlesque show or the Winter Garden uptown. But what gestures they had made at comedy had been only incongruous, as sad as the rest of the show.

It was like joking at a funeral. They were out of place, tasteless, and, as comedy in such an atmosphere deserves, they were futile. Everybody has something to say about the Jewish chorus girls. Ag the result of a rigid closed shop, from which no members can be fired and into which no new ones can be drafted. it has been said that they are astonishing sights.

It has been said that they are old, some them grandmothers: that some of them have lost their beauty, that some of them have become very, very fat, almost elephantine; that altogether they are the strangest chorus girls in the world. It has been said that, as result of this strong union, they are incredibly bad dancers, singers and actresses. Well, nobody lied.
