TUSKEGEE BAND
 GIVES CONCERT
Singing of Plantation Melodies and Playing by Band Enjoyed by
 Large Audience

The Tuskegee institute band gave a con- cert at the Orpheum theatre last night. The house was packed with colored peo- pie who responded with enthusiasm to the efforts of the musicians, while a handful of white people who were pres ent enjoyed treat.
 The band is composed of 50 pieces and the programme, including classical selec- tions. characteristic compositions and genuine Ira gtime, was executed in cap ltal style. Although the musicians are students who devote most of their time to learning trade, such as bricklaying farming. or something else of similar nature. and have only few hours a week for practice, they play with much brlliancy and reflect credit on Capt N C. Smith as a bandmaster The member ship of the organization is constantly changing also. as students leave from time to time, and it must require much work to keep the organization up to it's present splendid form
 Among the numbers enjoyed last night may be mentioned the overture from Won 1 Suppe's Poet and Peasant selections | from Faust" from "William Tell" "Dr
 Johnson Two Step and chorus of 4
 voices in typical negro melody. This part
 of the programme YVES given with all the
 rich tone quality for which the old time
 plantation singers were famous.

MEXICAN TANGLE ALARMS
 TbPT'S OFFICIAL ADVISERS
,coNrINUED FROM PAGE D


 European governments are apparently willing to give Mexico, an opportunity to solve her own problem. The Pres ident told callers that so far no for eign governments have suggested that the United States take action 10 pro- tect American and other foreign prop erty and that If this nation intended to live by the Monroe doctrine 1t must maintain order.
 that has seemed concerned in the mat ter at all Italy merely asked several months ago what steps this govern ment would take to protect its citizens In Mexico.
 France, Germany and England, the President understood, were handling the situation from their own viewpoint through their representatives in Mex leo.
 Mr. Sulzers statement was forthcom- ing because of the excitement he feared would result from the killing of Amer jeans in Fl Paso yesterday.
 Is Sister Republic
 Mexico" he said. 'is friendly sister republic. She should be treated as such. Any invasion of her sovereign rights by the armed forces of the Unit ed States would be an unjustifiable act of war, entailing responsibilities be- yond the conception of the finite mind and giving the lie to all our protesta- tions of peace and friendship for our sister republics on the western hem isphere. Let us maintain peace and keep out of Mexico"
 Major General Duncan in San An tonic transmitted the following tele- gram from Colonel Stever, command ing in Fl Paso, to President Taft late this afternoon:
 Am permitting wounded federals and rebels to be gathered up by Amer jeans who volunteered and brought to the United States. Wounded mostly in- surrectos. This is done for humanitarian purposes, although I realize 1t relieves their comrades of the incumbrances. If there Is any objection to my course, please wire at once"
 General Duncan approved the ac- ton.
 General Madero telegraphed to the insurrecto junta here that the insur- gent forces had gained possession Of the greater part of Juarez and that their losses were small. General Ma dero said that the fmprudence of the volunteers precipitated the battle which had been raging in Juarez all of to- day.
 Colonel Steever late today tele- graphed to the war department that the insurrectos hold the customs guard house and north end of the interna- tional bridge but not the custom house.
 The insurrectos have tried to pass various supplies over these bridges" Colonel Steever added, but have not allowed same and will not allow 1t unless I receive instructions to do so. Am acting in apparent accord with Collector Sharpe"

THAT BANK DECISION.
Bale Waggener Says that 1t Was Mis-
understood.

Bale Waggener of Atchison, who
was one of the attorneys in the bank
guaranty cases brought in the federal
courts, and finally carried to the SUI
preme court of the United States
where decision holding the law con-
stitutional was handed down Tues
day, makes the following explanation
OF the court decision in this case:
THE published statement, relative
decision of the supreme court of the
United States in the bank guaranty
cases is Incorrect. In the Nebraska
case, the decision of Judge Van De-
werter that the law was void is re-
versed. In the Oklahoma case the.
supreme court of that state decided
the law valid. That decision is af-
firmed. In the Kansas case brought
by the state banks Judge Pollock de-
cided that the Kansas law was valid.
That decision efyJudge Pollock lis at
firmed by the sdpfSeine court.
"In the case ofcthe national banks
Judge Pollock held the law unconsti-
tutional. That decision was reversed
by the court of appeals, and was sub
sequently appealed to the supreme
court of the United States where it is
now pending, and it has not been de-
cided or submitted. In that case an
entirely different question is involved
than in the state bank cases. In the
state bank cases. the supreme court
Of the United States affirms in every
particular the decision of Judge Pol
lock-
Mr.. Waggener..in his explanation
does not make plain the Pollock de-
ciSion. The state bank cases wherein
the federal judge was sustained were
unimportant compared with the case
wherein he was reversed Judge Pol
locks decision enjoined the bank COM
missioner from enforcing the law on
the grounds that it was unconStitu-
tional in that it Disseminated against
national banks. The constitutionality
of the law was the heart of the entire
case and the main point of the legal
controversy.
