Mrs. Pauline Jacobs, thirty years old
Of 1479 Hoe Avenue, the latest victim
Of the epidemic of burglaries in tha
Bronx. is suffering at her home with a
possible fracture Of the skull. She
was knocked down by a burglar who

Jazz Is Called Music's
Evil and Voodoo Spirit
Expresses Hysteria and Incites
Discord and Dissipation, Says
Convention Sneaker

CHICAGO, May 9.-Jazz is the evil
spirit of music, according to DR.. Frank
+. Marion, chairman of the music in.
dnstries committee, who spoke at the
opening OF the music trades conven.
ton here to-day.
"Jazz."" said DIR. Morton. Expresses
hysteria and incites to idleness, revelry
dissipation, destruction, discord and
chaos. 1t accords with the devastating
volcanic spirit that has burst forth
over the world in the last six wears.
Rhythm and musical vibrations swayed
the half savage voodooists like power
full ifitoxicant.
"The difference between the incanta-
tion-crazed fanatics and the patriot or
soldier stirred to noble action by music
is difference in the music itself. Jazz
is compounded after the same formula
as the Voodoo chants Typifying the
unbalanced state of humanity's mind,
IT tends to unhinge it more and more.
Human nerve tissues respond to this
perverted organization of sound lust
as readily as did those of the Voodoo
zealots, and just as readily will they
respond TO music of the higher. en-
nobling order. The world needs good
music as never before
Seldom do you hear Home. Sweet
Home sung now. With Home, Sweet
Home silenced, home itself tends to
disappear. With home swallowed up in
the cabaret, the great stabilizing center
of society is lost"

q Same Old Rot, -
Asserts DENLY of
Haytian Charges
Declares Marine Corps Did
Fine Work as Humanely
as Possible; Accusation
of Prison Death Nonsense

FROM 1'he TTtbune's Wdshtn0ton Bureau
WASHINGTON, May BIT is the
same old rot am sick of having this
thing recur, be disproved, and recur
again." Secretary of the Navy Denby
declared to-day in refutation of the
charges made by the three Haytian
delegates, who issued memorial yes
terday accusing the marines of malad-
ministration in the Black Republic.
Secretary Denby declared that he
would welcome any investigation that
Congress might desire to make of the
occupation of Hayti by American ma
rines, whose work there, he said, was
above criticism.
"The marine corps did splendid
work as humanely as was possible to
be done, and the naval establishment
has functioned in Hayti in way sell
dom equalled by military occupation
anywhere" Mr.. DENLY declared.
The Secretary said that responsible
naval officials had made an exhaustive
inquiry into the conduct of the marine
forces in Hayti and that upon his re-
cent visit there he saw evidences on
every hand to indicate that continu-
alton Of the occupation by American
marines was desirable
In many of the villages visited by
Mr.. DENLY arches and banners carry
ing the legion "Vive La Occupations"
were noticeable, and numerous organ
izations of natives urged the Secretary
to permit the marines to remain there
for an indefinite period.
Secretary Denby declared that the
charge of the Haytian delegates that
large numbers of native prisoners died
in the marine and gendarmerie prisons
was hard to believe, in view OF the
American method Of thoroughness that
marks the work of the marines there,
Il am confident that charge is abso-
lutte nonsense, Secretary DENLY said.
when was in Hayti last month I
visited the prison at Port-au- Prince,
and it was the best conducted estab-
lishment [ ever saw. Prisoners there
were most humanely treated, and the
hospital corps worked marvels in re-
constructing some of the inmates. The
whole affair is the same old rot"

Mr.. Wilson, at the peace conference,
May 81, 1918, gave the Rumanian dele

boundaries were again endangered the
American army and navy would be sent
to preserve them. To-day Senator
Spencer backed up his previous asser-
tions.
President Wilson, through Secretary
Tumulty, directly prior to the election
denied the truth Of the allegations by
Senator Spencer.
Senator Spencer to-day brought
the record down to date. He said
that April II of this year, in
response TO his request, he had
received from the State Department D
copy of what the President said at the
plenary session of the peace conference

does not approve of this course at all.
Majority Take Optimistic View
Most of the Republicans, however,
are disposed to take the Admnistra-
tlon at its word and TO believe that
the representation of Colonel Harvey,
Ambassador Herrick, who will succeed
Mr.. Wallace when he arrives in Paris,
| and Roland w. Boyden will not involve
this country in any of the kind Of diff
Wi1ies ssi1tles Which Sai the opponents Of the
Versailles Treaty feared
Certainly the President and Mr..
Hughes, in so far as their ideas have
been transmitted to members of Com
gress, have gone as far as possible in
asserting that the recent actions Of
the Administration are not taking this
country in the direction of joining the
League of Nations or participating in
the Versailles Treaty,
On the contrary, some officials of
the Administration believe that the
Joining by this country of the Supreme
Council is apt so to dwarf the League
of Nations Council and its whole ma
chinery, in that the decisions of the
Supreme Council will be so much more
Important on international questions
than anything done through the league
machinery that the league will soon
become fifth wheel on the interna-
tlonal scheme of things.
Republican Comment Discreet
Republicans in Congress, even those
who view with misgivings the actions
so far. Of the Administration, have
maintained q discreet silence. Des.
perate efforts by newspaper correspon-
dents, eager for fight" story between
the President and the Senate and
eager to draw a parallel between the
relations of Harding and Wilson with
the Senate, have failed so far to bring
forth much besides anonymous COM
ment.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, the oriei-
| nal irreconcilable on the Democratic
side, in his statement as printed this
morning actually voiced the private
views of some of his Republican col
leagues, but they are not willing, even
since the acceptance of the invitations
to participate in the post war problem
conferences, to come out openly against
the Administrators foreign policy.

German Fina,scier Tells Coun-

sonabies Rocky Road ahead

BERLIN. May (By The Associated
press). The advice which Robert
Friedlander, widely known Industrial.
ist and financier. gives his countrymen
IN the course OF an examination of the
Allied nltimatum and protocol is this:
The fate of Germany and her future
good name are in our hands: let us 70
to work. This document has not been
drafted by generals or politicians, but
drawn up by sober-minded. calmly cal
culating business men, who, while not
wholly disinterested, have carefully
weighed the prerequisites upon which
their conclusions are based"
Herr Friadlandcr believes the Al
lies terms are acceptable, he says, be-
cause they are not unreasonable and
can be fulfilled under conditions which
may be taken for granted and which,
indeed, will be incorporated in the
treaty.
This German economic expert sets
forth the things necessary to Germany
ability to carry cut conditions of the
protocol as "the return Of Germany
industrial capacity, inventive genius
and enterprise to the pre-war basis at
her territory be detached, thus caus-
lng. irredentas on the borders.'
Herr Friedlaender commends the
authors OF the separations document
and the ultimatum for wisely having
refrsined from projecting the ques-
tions. Of guilt or moral responsibility
for the war into the present issue. He
tells his countrymen they have q
thorny. rocky road ahead of them, but
that acceptance now will remove "the
paralyzing burden of uncertainty and
enable Germany's economic organiza-
tion to settle down to the job of pro-
ducing the surplus needed to meet the
reparation terms. He comedies that
the results of the effort in this direc-
ti'.n probably will not be visible for
the first two or three years, but thinks
they would assert themselves within a
few years afterward.

an investigation Of alleged gambling
in Saratoga Springs and the county
When court was adjourned the de
fense had exhausted it's legal number
of peremptory challenges and only two
remained available for the prosecution.

made difficult, it was said, by the wide
spread publicity the case has received.
The trial will be resumed Wednesday.
During the gambling investigation
fifty indictments we're returned by the
grand jury and more than a score have
pleaded guilty. Attorney Andrus is the
first of the indicted officials to be tried
In addition to the charge Of neglect of
duty, indictments also have been
returned charging him with bribery
and grand larceny. These are not in
volved in the present trial.
The attorneys for the accused of

evidence and that if gambling existed
it was due to the negligence Of others.
