quarters had nothing to base any
claim on whatever. No information is

elections when something the admin
istration wanted was in doubt. The
returns are slow in coming in"
The Socialists are giessful over the
result. They were more interested
in the defeat of the literacy test than
any other one thing. They figured
that disfranchisement would not stop
at the negro race, but that 1t could be
used wherever needed to accomplish
any end and they knew how heartily
they were hated by the Democrats,
and especially by the so-called poll
ticians.
Many Democrats here today are
jubilant over the defeat of all the
amendments. Some would have been
satisfied If the literacy test had car
ried, but are not much disappointed
when they know that the other meas
ures lost.
The governor and his $4,000 spe-
Cial legislative session are repudiated,
is the satisfaction many get from the
result of the election. All OF the
amendments are the creation of the
governor and il was his special session
that submitted them to the people.
He was advised by many good Demo-
Gratis that a special session was not
necessary, even after the United
States supreme court had knocked out
the grandfather clause" But he
would have it.

organization for the defeat of the

Denyer.-Colorado Is falling heir un.
expectedly to 100000. Inheritance
tax collections for the biennial period
from Dec l, 1914, to Dec. l, 1916, were
estimated at 100000 in the two an
nual budgets. The total already is
$501 ,62S, or S201,G2S more than the
Board of Equalization anticipated fol
the full two years.
Leslie e. Hubbard, Inheritance tax
appraiser, estimates further in his
semi-monthly report that the total
revenue from his department will in.
crease by next December to 100000
for the two years, or grand total OF
100000 above the budget figures.
For the state he says it will be like
finding 100000. The size of this sum
for state purposes can be best appre-
ciated by comparison with the total
state budget of 1916, which calls foI
only s2,G2G.G94.
A total of s501, ,62S collected since
December, 1914 was taken from 2,45s
estates. Up to December, 1915, $295,
479 of this had been paid. The re
mainder of s206,149 has been assessed
since then
The striking feature of this record
is emphasized by the fact that the
original estimate of 100000 was
100000 more than usually allowed.
The largest amount collected in any
two-year period up to this time wa:
taken in by Hubbard in 1913 and 191t

viii Assemble Complete Information
on Border Situation.
Washington, April 20.-No decision
as to the withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico is expected for a
week or ten days unless there are new
outbreaks against the forces in Mexico
to compel immediate action. This was
made clear when Secretary Baker dis
patched Maj. Gen. Hugh l., Scott,
chief of staff, to the border as his
personal representative to make a
complete report on the military
problems confronting Gen. Funston.
The administration final action on
Gen. CarranGa's suggestion that tho
expedition be recalled probably will
be based largely on this report.
Gen Scott, who left Washington
last night, hardly will be able to
make the round trip and complete his
observations in less than ten days.
Secretary Baker said Gen. SCOTS
mission would be to assemble com
plete information as to the border sit
uation for the use of the department
Dispatches from the border or from
Mexico contained no word of develop
ments changing the situation.

Assuming that the basis of what is
termed national music is found in
folk-song, it may be urged that Amer.
lean music, so far as it is peculiarly
American, is based on Negro melodies.
This finds support, for example, in Dvo-
rak's Symphony From the New York
World" which abounds in melodies
strikingly suggestive of our plantation
tunes. True, it is contended that none
Of these melodies is to be found in
Negro music, in the form in which
Dvorak wrote them, but the influence
of the plantation song is apparent. OF
Indian music. as it survives. to US,
there is much to be said, but the
scope of Negro folk-song is of more
immediate Importance. since its effect
is more widely felt.
But the Negro is not confined in
music to melodies crooned II the field
or walled in meetings or chanted on
decks. The musician is becoming less
essentially Negro, and more widely
musical. In other words, here and
there Negroes are writing music; not
merely repeating traditional tunes
from generation to generation. but
composing music hat has no racial
qualities to set it apart. In churches
! all over the English-speaking world,
choirs are singing the works OF
Coleridge-Taylor, Negro whose
death a few years ago was regretted
by all the world of music, and choral
societies are singing his beautiful set
ting of "Hiawatha." And only last
week, Amato, the great Italian bari
tone, sang in a concert in New York
a song of warning Italy, which was
composed by Harry G. Burleigh, q
modern American Negro, whose music
has been played in Richmond frequent
ly, notably by that remarkable Negro
organization, the Clef Club orchestra.

West Coast of Africa in 1875 and was
the son of the chief of a powerful
tribe. He had been entrusted by his
father with a dozen or more slaves,
captured in battle from a neighboring
tribe, and he brought them down to
the coast to sell to the American slave
traders. The young African chief de-
livered these men to the captain of
the ship and received his pay in trink.

see this wonderful sailing vessel. At
