"Jazz will never die"

Jazz will never die"
That's the opinion of J. Russell
Robinson, who put Indianapolis on
the map as the home Of the composer
Of ''Margie," on arriving here from
New York to spend few days with
his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Rob
inson, 315S Fall Creek Blvd.
II believe people who say jazz IS
dead do not really wnow what jazz
is" he said. Jazz, as far as music
is concerned. is the pep numbers of
the popular songs. As for jazz dane
ing, that is a different question. You
will find jazz in many of the best
known classical compositions, so jazz
can never die"
Mr.. Robinson has been trying to
get home all summer. First, the
plantation Revue" a Broadway sue
cess of which he is the composer, de-
tanned him; then he was called on to
write the music for the Boardwalk
Revue" and when he thought he was
ready to leave for home, the chief, {"
as head Of the Waterson-Berlin and
Snyder firm is known, asked Mr.. Rob
inson for a certain style number the
firm wanted for their catalogue. The
result was Tomorrow" which they
think will be as big a hit as "Margie. "

With Action.

Two suits to enjoin the public serv-
ice commission of Indiana from In
terfering with a raise in telephone
tolls in this State were filed by the
Indiana Bell Telephone Company IN
Federal Court late yesterday.
Frank Wampler. whose resignation
as vice president and general manager
Of the telephone company was almost
simultaneously made public. made no
comment upon his resignation today.
Wampler Was Opposed
Mr.. Wampler is said to have op-
posed asking Federal Court action as
a result Of failure Of the company
TO obtain all of its requests from the
1 Indiana public service commission.
The suits are similar to the one
fled several months ago by the
Citizens Gas Company. Violation of
that section Of the Constitution Of
the United States forbidding taking
of property without due process Of
law is made the basis of the suits.
Rates COnf1scatOry
According to the complaint present
tolls yield the company only 1,7o6
per cent upon the investment, and the
rates fixed by the commission are con.
f1scatory.
- The cases will be heard as soon as
three Federal judges can be got to-
gether. At present Judge Albert B.
Anderson is at Burt Lake, Mich, and
Judge Francis E. Baker, judge of the
United States Circuit Court Of Ap-
peals, said that it may be late in Sep
TENDER before three judges can be OBJ

WASHINGTON. April 11-America
has a sweet tooth, and it's been
getting sweeter right along for the
past ten years.
If you got your share OF the
sugar consumed in the United
states last year you did away with
97.S pounds. and that was thirty
five pounds more than yeu were en-
titled to in 1900.
The department of commerce has
been figuring out how much sugar
the people of this country used in
-921. and the total has been placed
at 10.54S, $4,000. which is quite a
lot of sugar and which represents
an increase of 81 per cent over the
consumption in 1920 and Is ESQ per
oent larger h the average con-
sumption for the ten-year period
ending in 1920.
CONSUMPTION SETS RECORD.
The per capita consumption last
year-97.S pounds-was h largest
in the history OF the country, and
the total was nearly one-third Of
All IAkAE GuE0A HAD AACEA al a ffVAAA
IN that yeaer.
Although this country used ten
and a half billion pounds Of sugar
in 1921 only two and a half billion
pounds were produced in continen-
tai United States during the year.
The non-contiguous territories of
the United States supplied 2.132,-
s2s.7S0 pounds. which included e77.-
1892 pounds from Hawaii, SIS
043,ss0 pounds from Porto Rico and
337.143.94S pounds from the Philip
pine Islands.
Sugar imports in 1921 totalled g.
s73.O41,s67 pounds. supplying more
than half Of the consumption. Ex-
ports Of sugar decreased As per
cent during the year.
ENGLAND USING MORE.
Reliable estimates made for the
commerce department show that
Great Britain Will use 5000. 900 600
pounds Of sugar this year as
against 2,s4o, 600. 900 pounds last
year and an annual consumption
before the World War OF $500. 000.-
900 pounds. American commercial
agents in the United Kingdom hg-
ure that the consumption will be
larger this year If sugar gets the
benefit Of a lighter duty under the
anticipated reduction in British
taxation in the next budget esti-
mates.
British ~refneries will melt about
100000 tons this year. leaving
400 000 TONS ~ rafpad S.t1o~ - -
imported. the bulk of which must
be drawn from American sources.
In the case of France II is re-
ported that the sugar production
this year will be scarcely half the
consumption, which is rising, but is
not back to the pre-war level.
