In answer to the question as TO
what was needed here most TO build
up music and to help our musicians:
Before all, a great national conser-

have no basis.
"Rut what | mean by this conservs

utions--preferably in Washington
including schools OF music, singing

arts. II should be supplemented by a
national theater, by great natonai
orchestra. a national string quartet
and later on. or course. by state con-
servatories. We need a center for our
art. just as we need a Government
center like our Congress. Until we
have one all our art will lack sta
bility."
Mr.. Godowsky added that the cost

Banjo Song" sung for a Victor Rec
ord by Madame Louise and Miss Lou
Use Homer. This highly original rec
ord may be said to have a refrain for
the soprano. There is voodoo-strain
throughout the whole OF the music.
The most remarkable thing about the
record is not perhaps the voices, for
their wonderful quality is known to
everyone. but rather the fact that
such true negro music should be
written by the composer, who, far
from being a negro. Is no other than
Sidney Homer, the husband and father
OF the artists.
"Feather Your Nest by Albert
Campbell and Henry Burr. and "Old

Dover Sent
To Mexico
By Hughes
New Plan Launched to
Untangle Diplomatic
Snarl That Prevents
Recognition
By Louis ?. Kirby

Mexico City, Sept 9.-0utside
Of President Harding and Secre-
tary Of State Hughes, the Amer
lean most talked about In Mexica
to-day is Elmer Dover. of Tacoma
Washington. Mr.. Dover, who
came to Mexico City with group
OF Pacific Coast bankers and,
while here, held numerous con-
ferences with President Obregon,
Is now in Washington, where he
is working to bring about an
agreement between the United
States and Mexico. II he is
successful and the United States
government recognizes the Obre-
gon government 1t is likely
that Mr.. Dover will be the next
American Minister to Mexico.
There have been no outward
indications that Mr.. Dover is
making progress, but Mexican Of
ficials and American business
men In Mexico have not given up
hope.
Mr.. Dover was active In Presi-
dent Harding's campaign. For
merly he lived in Ohio and at
one time was secretary of the
Republican National Committee.
When he departed for Washing
ton he left behind high hopes
that. owing to his close relation
ship with Republican officials he
might be able to induce Secretary
Hughes to change his severe at
titude toward Mexico.
Eager for Recognition
There Is little doubt that most
of the Americans here are eager
for American recognition. Some
having business which would Inn
prove from the Mexican Govern
ment. favor immediate, uncondi-
tional recognition. Others would
be satisfied II the United States
modified its attitude toward
Mexico. They talked with Mr..
Dover while he was here and i'm
pressed their views upon him.
Whether Mr.. Dover carried any
proposals to Washington with him
is not known. but Mexican Of
ficials emphasized to him their
desire for recognition before any
treaty negotiations were under
taken.
Mexican have been led to be-
lieve that propaganda for recogni-
tion is making much progress
with the public IN the United
States.

washington, Sept. 9.-Senator
Oscar Underwood, Elihu Root.
Senator Lodge and Secretary
hughes will be the four repre-
sentatives of the United States at
the Washington conference on
limitation of armaments, 1t was
officially announced today.
The delegations of all nations
participating in the conference,
In all probability, it is said, will
be limited to four members.
Later 1t was learned that an
agreement has been reached
among the nations to limit their
delegates to four. No limitation,
however, will be placed upon the
number of advisers. In the case
of the United States, 1t was said
that these probably would be
twelve, including. army, navy,
aeronautical, economical and po-
litical specialists.
There were surface indications
that the senate finance committee
had somewhat stormy session
today in considering revision OF
the house tax bill behind closed
doors. The discussion lasted three
hours and apparently the commit
tee got nowhere.
Democratic members made clear
their opposition to retroactive re-
peal of the excess profits tax and
the retention of the Transports
tion levies at half the present
rates. They questioned Secretary
Mellon, who again was before
the committee.
After the committee adjourned
Chairman Penrose said 1t was his
judgment that the time had come
to quit talking and for "the Jury
to bring In its verdict"
