PRIESTS USED
COLOR CONCERT
IN INDIAN WORK

Chicago-Though New York has
Just heard it's first color concert, !"
colored music was used among the
Indians long before New York
knew skyscrapers, according to
Miss Clara A. Smith. custodian os
the Aver Indian collection at the
Newberry library here.
Colored music the Indians used
was, however. not native to them
but an invention of Roman Catho-
lie priests in California who strug-
gled in vain to get the Indians
there to learn to sing church music
from the scale.
Why little black spot on a line
should mean one note and a second
dot elsewhere should mean an
other was something the Indians
could not understand. But they
could grasp that a bright red spot
meant to sing low and a bright yell
low spot to sing high, and so the
priests painted their church music
Recently copy of brightly COL
ored Gregorian chant written in an
early mission at Santa Barbara has
been presented to the Newberry
library by Edward E. Aver of this
city. The copy is handsomely done
on Japanese vellum.
Visitors to the Newberry library
would hardly pick the little gray
haired lady who presides over this
collection as one of the best Indian
authorities in the country. That
she is, however, and her library is
declared the finest on American
Indian literature in the world.
From the earliest Indian writing
known-that of a Yucatan tribe
called the Mayas, who gave their
hieroglyphics to the Aztecs and
whose civilization was already
crumbling when the white man
came-down to the Massachusetts
Indian bible of 1663-the first
translation of the scriptures into
the Red Mans tongue-Miss Smith
has the range of Indian literature
within her easy reach in this Ii
brary Only three original pieces
of the Mayas' inscriptions are ex-
tant, all in Europ, but copies are
to be found here.

MONEY AT HAND
To AID RUSSIA
Two Jewish Organizations May Di-
vert Nearly s500-Permanent
Organization Soon.

A preliminary meeting toward the
organization of a local committee
to aid in the work of the American
Committee for Russian Relief was
conducted by Mayor Harry NJ.
'Schriver in the city hall yesterday
afternoon 1t was announced this
morning that permanent organ
ization would not be formed until
next Tuesday when another meet
ing is to be held in the city hall.
Two Jewish organizations have
money on hand that may be turned
over for immediate relief work.
Louis Andich, treasurer of the
Tri-City Jewish Relief association,
said that there was considerable
money on hand and that as the
money was raised for relief of war
sufferers it can undoubtedly be OBJ
tanned for the relief OF the starving
people of Russia.
Ben Stewart, head of the Tri-Ctty
Jewish Welfare association, an or
ganization formed for local relief,
announced that this organization
had some extra money that might
be available for this relief. 1t is
expected that the two organizations
have between $500 and $500.
Mayor Schriver intends to do as
much as possible here to promote
the work of the national relief or
ganization, which reports that mil
lions are starving in Russia and
thousands have already died from
starvation The mayor was great
" pleased to hear that there are
two Jewish organizations that al
ready have money that may be used.
He also will have distributed grain
notes" and check notes. The
former are to be signed by farm
ers, who promise that they will de-
liver so many bushels of corn or
wheat to a designated point within
90 days and the latter are to be
signed by persons who promise to
remit or send within 80 days checks
for specified amounts.
The headquarters of the national
organization are in Chicago.
Mayor Schriver asks ministers to
aid in the campaign by announc-
ing from their pulpits the objects
CT raising money and collecting
foodstuffs for the Russians.
The national association lays
stress on the splendid work that
has been accomplished by Rev. Vic
tor J. Tenwald, pastor of the Zion
who makes his appeal in terms Of
lives already saved and the work
yet to be performed in succoring
the starving. Rev. Tenwald went
before the Kewanee city council
and made appeal for support OF
the relief work and got IL churches
in the town to support the cam
Paign by having special collections
taken for the famine relief.

ment directly. to the soldiers as
bonus could be sold by them or
the government could itself sell the
new bonds and give cash to the vet
Grams without disturbing the fiscal
operations already in process for
the borrowing of sums to meet in
terest and principal of existing
bond isues.
Expect British Money.
Another idea which seems firmly
implanted in the congressional
mind is that Great Britain is ready
to pay interest on the war debt and
that sometime this autumn the first
payments can be confidently ex-
pected. Those who feel that Brit
ish money will be forthcoming in
sist that the American government
can begin paying the soldiers out
OF the treasury receipts and can
apply the funds received from Eng
land toward the new Indebtedness.
The treasury department takes
vigorous exception to this view.
Secretary Mellon has emphatically
opposed this scheme and said that
any payments received from the al
lied war debt should go toward
paying off existing Liberty and
Victory bonds
The question therefore will soon
arise as to whether the secretary
of treasury will be upheld or over
ridden by the president Once be-
fore when the revenue bill was first
drafted, Mr. Mellon pointed out that
a deficit would occur unless a GER
tain scheme of taxation was fol-
lowed but congress went ahead and
wrote its own bill with the conse-
Quent effect that the predicted def
icit is Undertaking. rapidly.
Harding Must Decide.
Mr.. Harding must decide whether
the judgment of the treasury de-
partment is right or wrong. Mem
bers of congress claim that the
difference of opinion is entirely Il
matter of conjecture as to what the
American people will absorb in the
way of securities and they claim
that the treasury department is too
conservative in its estimates and
that unquestionably new bond is
sue could be fioated without Sc
rious embarrassment They point
to the floating of new bond issues
by private concerns and the rapid
increase in investments throughout
the United States. One senator said
that fully seven billion dollars in
private credits had been advanced
since the armistice by the Ameri-
can people in bond issues.
The bonus is coming. Congress
will not take chances with the po-
litical influence of the soldiers this
autumn. President Harding bows
to the inevitable and stands ready
to approve bill which provides
the money. The White house is
changing front. Whether this be-
cause the chief executive thinks the
economic condition of America has
vastly improved since he opposed
the bonus last summer or because
he is beginning to believe the coun-
try will lend its money again for a
patriotic purpose. it is too early TO
tell. The fact is all hope of seeing
presidential veto is vanishing.

knew Taylor TO be a deep reader
who often remained up late. She
said she was awakened the follow
ing morning by screams Of Taylor 8
negro valet, who on reporting for
work at Taylor's house, discovered
the body of his employer and fed
shrieking down the street
Los Angeles, Feb. 3.-Revenge,
jealousy, hate and unanswered love
all were considered by the police
today who are continuing their
search for the slayer of William
Desmond Taylor, motion picture di-
rector whose body was found yes
terday in his apartment.
While the meager clues obtained
so far pointed chiefly to the COM
mission of the crime by man, the
detectives actively engaged on the
case said they still believed it pos
sible that Taylor had been killed by
a woman
Their hunt was largely centered
along three lines, il was said: The
trail of the skulking figure of a
man seen around the directors
apartment both before and after
neighbors heard a shot in the
night; the whereabouts of former
servant. arrested for the alleged
robbery and reported to have
threatened revenge; and the sender
of an anonymous letter in which
were enclosed pawn tickets for ar
ticles stolen from Taylor.
Sean Life History.
The officers also had under con-
sideration a close scrutiny of the
life history of the director, to learn
if the crime might have been COM
mitted by the holder of an ancient
grudge, as, for instance, some SOL
der he might have offended by the
application of military discipline
while he was an officer in the Brit
ish forces during the World war.
Every person known to have been
in or near the apartment where
Taylor's body with bullet wound
in the neck was found yesterday
morning, has been closely Ques-
toned in the search for clues to the
murder
These persons range from Henry
Peavey, Taylor's negro house man,
to Mabel Normand, motion picture
actress, while others prominent in
the film industry whose names
were brought into newspapers in
connection with the directors
death, include Edna Purviance and
Mary Miles Minter, motion picture
actresses.
Mabel Sees Him Last.
Peavey gave the police an &C
count of his finding the body and of
his spreading the alarm. Miss Nor
mand. who was one of the last to
see the director alive. told of call
she made at his apartments the
night before in connection with a
book Taylor had loaned her. Her
chauffeur corroborated her account
of the visit, which included the
statement that Taylor had accom-
panied her to her automobile when
she left: and Mrs. Douglas Mac
Lean, wife OF film actor, and her
maid related having seen a heavy
set man, dressed in dark clothes
and wearing a cap and muffler
skulking about the place. The
story of Mrs. MacLean and her
maid was strengthened by employees
of an oil service station two blocks
, from the Taylor apartments, and
by the crew of a street car.

States Reception Committee
Criticised.

Not only a discourtesy to Mayor Hy-
Ian. the cntys chief executive, but also
the clumsiest piece of political folly
have observed to date was the charac-
terization by Grover A. Whalen yester-
day of Gov. Millers action in appoint
ing a State committee to receive dis
tinguished guests in New York city.
The declaration was made in a letter
TO Lieut.-Gov. jeremiah Wood calling
him to task for speech he was re-
ported to have made in Freeport ridicul-
ing Mayor Hylan's reception to Gen.
Diaz of Italy. Mr.. Whalen continued;
For four years Mayor Hylan and his
committee haye entertained distin-
guished guests from abroad. as well as
native sons. We have never asked for
any assistance or any aid whatsoever
from the state. On the other hand we
have always been most considerate OF
the States Representatives and have In
vited them to all the citys official
functions
When Marshal Foch made his tour
of America he accepted the invitation
to dinner of Gov. Mller's committee
