is that a transportation tie-up would not

Although Washington is rather blue
because the first statements from both

win Make Gesture Of Disapproval.

The optimists here see in the first com
mentS of the Shopmen q change of tao
tics from what occurred when Mr.. Hard
ing made his first proposals The shop
men accepted too quickly, in fact. so soon
chat the railroad executives regarded the
proposal as one-sided and made at the
instance of labor. Now it looks as if the
railroad executives, although protesting
their dislike of the proposal. will make
a gesture of disapproval but will accept
the suggestion of the President, with the
proviso of course that they remain the
judges of which men they take back into
their employ. They cannot be forced to
take all the strikers back unless the
unions make it reason for preventing
the return of any strikers or unless the
transportation systems of the country
become tied up through the sympathetic
action of the brotherhoodS in refusing to
take out what may seem to them defec-
tive locomotives and equipment
The situation is drifting for the no.
ment, but conservative opinion here IS
that neither side can afford to reject
President Hardng's latest 5. compromise
without proving the inSncerity of the
first acceptances by railroad executives
and shopmen of the proposal that all de-
cislons OF the labor board viii be recog-

concerned, the belief that they will ac-

Negro, Aged 1872,
Earns His Living
(By Associated Press.)

Buenos Aires-Antonio Rosas, a
negro who is reputed' to have been
born 1872 years ago in the African
Congo, is still earning living in
Buenos Aires as q medicine man and
ticket seller. He was not too old to
put up fight when three men held
him up and robbed him few days ago
but told reporter he would have
made a better showing if he had not
"taken drop too much" Antonio
does not yet believe in prohibition.
Antonio claims to have been cap
tured in the, Congo when child by
French slave traders. The French ship
on which he and other negroes were
placed was pursued and captured by
an English vessel and taken to Ma
deira. He was brought to Argentina
at the age of eight.
He saw the birth of the Argentine
nation in 1910 and slavery abolished
in 1878. In later years he adopted the
surname of Rosas after the famous
Argentine tyrant, Rosas, of whom he
was an admirer. He is one of the few
negroes living in Buenos Aires.

SUM FOR
WAR ORPHANS
Capacity Audience Greets
Mrs. Emma Tester in
Concert Here.
KENOSHANS ASSISTED

A large sum Of money for war or
phans in central Europe was Melted
Friday night when Mrs. Emma Tester
OF Stuttgart, Germany, gave vocal
recital in the Emmanuel M. E. church
hall. The hall was filled to capacity
with a most enthusiastic and appre-
clative audience.
Mrs. Tester is visiting her uncle, the
Rev. A. Lutz, pastor of the First I'M
manuel M. E. church in Milwaukee, and
it was through the Rev. Mr.. Schwiering
OF the local church that she made her
appearance in Kenosha.
Is Noted Kammersangerin. &
Mrs. Tester is known as a Hammer
sangerin and she has won considerable
success in European musical circles.
Although she is booked as a dramatic
soprano, it was in the lighter mum bers
that she made the most pleasing i'm
preston. She has magnetic person
atty of the large, good-natured and
matronly German type common among
opera singers, and she made an imme-
date and favorable impression on
Kenoshans.
The middle register of her voice was
especially good. She had splendid con-
troll of her voice and her mezzo voce
was beautiful. Her high forte notes
were metallic and forced, but her soft
notes were wonderfully exquisite. 1t
seemed difficult, too, to reconcile her
bird-like trill with the metallic quality
aforementioned. Her folk songs were
by far her best medium and in her
humorous encores, too, she was espe-
cially delightful. All her songs were
in German. In all her work she threw
her entire person into the interpre-
tations.
