in Denouncing Governor

HE WILL CONTINUE DRIVE
Attacks Will Not Deter Him
from Going on with Fight
Against the Organization

The sensational Ku Klux Klan
scare brought to Washington yes
terday by Governor John M.
Parker, of Louisiana, by night had
dwindled into State political row.
A White House statement. issued
after a visit from the Louisiana
governor, was tc the effect that
justification for Federal interven-
ton had not developed.
While Governor Parker was
stating his case to President Hard
ing, members of the Louisiant
delegation in Congress bitterly de
nounced his allegations of khan
dominance as II reflection on their
State.
BITTER TOWARD GOVERNOR.
They made the charge that Gov.
ernor Parker is seeking political
capital through an attack on the
khan and that conditions are not
as he has represented them. ThoY
say also that the governor has
full authority to cope with situa
ton suth as he has described and
Ia in no way justified in appeal
ing to the Federal Government.
Congressman Aswell was par.
ticularly bitter in a formal state.
ment in which he declared that
he did not know of the existence
of the khan in his district.

Pulliam. receiver general of Dominican customs. Mir. Puliam's report says the project was re-launch- cd recently and is commended to the sympathetic considerations of Pan Americans everywhere.
 The remains of Columbus wore brought to santo Domingo from Spain 1t has been the practice lately to open the casket and permit high dignitar- les or distinguished visitors to the island republic to handle personally some of the bone fragments.
 When some high dignitary comes to town" the report says "the inner casket has been opened to allow a closer inspection and the actual han ding of the bones themselves"
 Tt was the very fact" the report continues which first suggested the idea that 1t should be the concern of the peoples of the 2l republics occupying the territory of North and South America and Can ada to provide a suitable memorial and final resting place for Columbus in the cradle of America as Santo Domingo is called.
 "A popular move it should be. Poor, Santo Domingo cannot do it alone"

TO EDUCATE PUBLIC IN LOVE 0F MUSIC
Movies With Concerts Is Plan Of 7 Rochester School

Rochester N. Y,, Aug. 2s.--The Eastman Theater. George Eastman's s5,oo0, 900 gift to the University of Rochester as an integral part of the Eastman School of Music, will be opened early in September. The play house was conceived as a means to educate the public in the love of 9V- sic. The donor proposes to draw peo- pie to good concerts by showing mo- ton pictures.
 The theater has been described as one of the most unusual structures in the world. It contains every kind of musical instrument. including the largest organ in any playhouse in the world. IL Is adorned with paintings worth several hundred thousand dol lars. It seats 3,400 persons. En- trance is by the way of commodious lobby finished in rich marble and bronze The massive auditorium abounds in exquisite marbles, sculp- tural reliefs and rich hangings. The decorative scheme is Italian renais- sance. Venetian in treatment.
 When the playhouse opens 1t will mark the end of motion picture pre- sentation in the dark. according to the experts associated with its con- struction Through the lighting sys- tenn, the hazard of gloomy auditor ium will be eliminated. The theater will be sufficiently well illuminated for patrons to read without discom- fort, and at the same time view the film without effort
 There will be sought a solution to the problem confronting purveyors of character of such entertainment may be improved. refined, and undergo an evolution that will establish good music as an everyday need
 Tt is necessary for people to have an interest in life outside of their oc- cupation," said Mir. Eastman. T be- lieve that working hours are going to be shortened in order that people may live fuller and happier lives. What is going to be done with the leisure thus obtained I am not at all of the opinion that people have been ground down by industry Leisure Is un- fruitful because we do rot know how to use it productively. Do not i'm agine from what I say that I am a reformer-far from that. I am in- terested in music personally. and I am led thereby to want to share my pleasure with others.
 T have come to see that what we need is a body of trained listeners quite as much as a body of trained performers. Without appreciation, without the presence of a large body of, people who understand music and 1 who get joy out of it. any attempt to develop the musical resources of any city is doomed to failure Because in Rochester we realize this we have l undertaken scheme for bull vng capacity on a large scale 1 from childhood"
