Band Concert Was
Splendid Success

The Holyoke band played to a ca
pacity house at the Peerless theater
Wednesday evening, and everyone
present enjoyed fully the entertain.
ment.
The first on the program was fve-
reel picture, Constance Binney in
"The Magic Cup" Then followed the
band program. In part one the pop
ular numbers were "Trombon Fuss"
and Forest Echos." Brown Broth
ers' blackface comedians was live
number. Their local hits and specials
tickled the audience so they were en-
cored several times. The "brothers"
were Ralph Bunch and Bill Plummer.
While all Of part two was splendid,
the vocal solo, WAS There Ever a
Pal Like You?" by Ross Miller, was
a pleasing feature. as was Bunch's
saxaphone sextette.
AS whole the concert was n bril-.
liant success. and the boys will have
a substantial sum for their trouble.
Manager Guild of the Peerless aided
what he could by cutting his expense
to the minimum, as did also the Her.
aid on the printing.
1t Is remarkable for town the size
of Holyoke to have such n splendid
band. and the boys should receive
every encouragement. A band. like
volunteer fire department. is SC
often taken by many as n matter OF
course. forgetting that the members
devote much time besides when on
duty. Both institutions are needed
and both should be given every en-
couragement.

Atlanta, June 25-Reorganiza ton of the finances of the state and re- lations between the races were the principal subjects discussed in both the inaugural address of Gov. Thomas W. Hardwick and the final messs ge of the retiring governor, Hugh M. Dorsey, to the legislature here to- day.
 Governor Hardwick took the oath of office at noon today in an out door ceremony. the first held at thes Georgia capital since Hoke Smith was inducted into office in 1901 The new governor was accompanied to the rostrum built on the west plaza of the capitol by Governor Dorsey and former Governors Joseph NJ. Brown and Nat E. Harris. where the oath was administered by Judge Roscoe Luke of the court Of appeals.
 Outbursts of applause several times interrupted the new governors first address and specially those references to the necessity for economy in state affairs and his criticism of Governor Dorsey's recent pamphlet on race re- lations in this state.
 Georgia has recently been in- dicted," he said, most unfortunately. anu III thS tiOiHi VI public opinion for mistreating the negro. for peona ge and other kindred crimes" and he declared there is no real basis in truth, and in fact upon which the accusation can rest" He said there is mo state. and no country in which good, law abid- ing, peacable negro can live with more security to his life, property and rights. than the state of Geor- gia.
 Governor Dorsey's reference to the racial relations came in his closing message to the legislature. when he declared mob violence had been sup pressed and by state authorities. for If this Is not done It is very pro- bable federal intervention will not be delayed. He pointed out that since his induction into office in June 1917, the newspapers have carried accounts of the lynching of 5s negroes in that state, and said from sources which so far as I know. are reliable information regarding other 1ynch- .ings not included in that list"

 Previously about ninety indict- ments had been returned.
 Attorney General Freeing. who conducted the inquiry. told the court he could nottully concur in the jury's findings, believing that acauasions should have been made against other officials and alleged rioters. Chief Gustafson and the four policemen are charged with conspiracy to dis pose of stolen automobiles. and the chief in addition is charged with failure to enforce the prohibition law, failure to suppress vice and failure to enforce the law against the car rying of firearms.
 On request of the grand jury and the attorney general, district Judge Naljean Biddison, 10 whom the report was made, immediately ordered the suSpSHSlon or CnleI GuStafSon rom office. Judge Blddison announced that all the accused policemen stood suspended pending trial.
 The final report of the grand jury was comparatively brief.
