Sons Make Statement.

Washington. Dec Erwin A. and
Harry +. Morse. sons of Morse,
through their attorney. Wilton ].
Lambert. issued a statement here
last night declaring their father had
sailed under a passport issued to
him In his own name and without
knowledge of the governments in
tended action before the grand jury.
1t was their belief, the statement
said, that the government knew
Morse had sailed before this contem.
plated action became known.
Morse sailed under the advice OF
his physician that he would have to
undergo operation il he desired to
save his life" the statement said,
adding that he would return when
his presence was desired, "and when
he is in physical condition to do So"
Justice department official de-
clared nothing was known Of Mr..
Morse's departure until it was re-
ported from New York Wednesday
night. Morse was granted pass
port several months ago, state de-
partment officials said, and this
passport presumably was good at the
time of his sailing. No passport is
necessary for citizen Of this coun-
try to leave the United States, 1t
was explained, but the state depart
ment issues them as the most con-
venient proof of American citizen
ship which is required for admission
to virtually all foreign countries.
High government officials were
not inclined to discuss the efforts
being made to effect the return of
Morse to this country. Secretary
Hughes conferred with Ambassador
Jesserand of France at the state de-
partment, but it was not disclosed
whether the subject Of Morse's de-
parture on the Paris, which, under
international law, is French terri
tory, was under discussion.

from Fred c. Switzer, warden of the
penitentiary at McAlester, Thursday

valence Of smallpox throughout Ok

we will not receive any more prison
ers in this institution until you are
further advised. Conditions at the
prison are very much crowded and
you can readily see what the result

nate enough to develop contagious
disease in the institution. / shall
lift this ban as soon as possible"
Switzer said in the letter received
by Sheriff Sankey.

JAZZ POET HERE
IN READING Of
HIS OWN VERSES

Of Poetry.

To On audience composed prlncl

Students and teachers. vachol Lind.
say. sometimes called the ''jazz
poet" read bis poems at the high
school auditorium Thursday evening
In n manner that provoked frequent
and enthusiastic applause. Before
beginning his recital he devoted
some time to n discussion OF the
modern poetic movement. calling at
tention to several recently published
anthologies which contain the best
products OF the one hundred or more
American men and women who fig
ure In the who's Who" Of yersifIers
in this country.
Mr.. Lindsay's theory Is that poet
ry. to be properly appreciated. must
be sung and danced; to the music
of the rythm he insists upon adding
the music OF the human voice and
the poetry Of notion" and In re.
citing HIS own poems he Illustrates
his theory. Chanting, or semi-slng-
Ing. his verses. with frequent repe-
titions of lines and phrases, such
as occur in real singing, he pro
duces effects upon the minds of
his hearers, that are closely akin to
those OF music. While he is reading,
he asks his audience to visualize
characters who by costume and mo-
ton are conveying the musical mes
sage and pictures that are contained
in the words of his verses. In his
reading he emphasizes the metre,
giving the syncopated effect that is
characteristic OF jazz which prob
ably accounts for the title which has
been popularity tackled onto his
name
That Mr.. Lindsay has genius of
a kind that Is peculiarly his own,
will probably be the verdict OF all
who heard him. but the answer to
the question as to whether he is q
poet or not will depend upon indi-
vidual views and definitions Of
poetry. Measured by the standards
set by such singers as Milton, Wads-
worth, Tennyson or Longfellow, his
verses are no more like poetry than
"jazz" is like music when compared
with the works of Beethoven. Lind
says verse is one Of the many in
novations of the modern school; 1t
is high in favor in some literary
and academic circles and the gen
erous approval manifested by the
audience here gave evidence that 1t
pleases the popular fancy; time
alone will tell whether it is pass
ing fad or is poetry based upon prin-
ciples of art and embodying concep-
tions of truth, which will cause it to
endure.
