Famous Orchestra
Gets Foreign Offer

(By J. A. jackson, Through Special
Arrangement of the Associated Negro
Press With the Biilboard)
A colored orchestra left New York
on July rs, en- route for Manila,
Philippine Islands, under contract to
play for a year in the big government
hotel there. They went via Montreal
to Vancouver and the Pacific S. s..
Line.
The group includes Toney Yates,
Andrew F. Rosemond. Bailey w.
Jackson, William f. Gegeman and
Little Junk" Edwards, FIVE of the
most famous musicians of the me-
tropolis.
The engagement is the result of ne
gotiations conducted through the
Page by Major Loving. conductor of
the famed Philippine Constabulary
band, and Charles A. Parker, the Co
mmbus, Ohio, band and orchestra di-
rector. who recently moved to New
York, where he is now conducting a
musical booking office. While sever
al smaller contracts have preceded
this one, this is the biggest piece of
business handled to date. In point
of distance. 1t is probably the longest
range musical contract involving our
group that has ever been handled
from New York or any other Amer
lean center.
Mr. Parker has just installed his
family. a wife and two daughters, in
a New York residence. The daugh-
ters are both accomplished young
ladies, one being a graduate of Ohio
State university, and the younger one
of the Columbus high school.

THERE WAS NO LAW SUIT
TO WIN OR LOSE.

The facts are these: Mr.. Hardy
had carried an insurance of 1000 90
on his life for more than twenty
years. He first made his mother the
beneficiary in the insurance policy
afterwards it was changed and he
made his wife, Mrs. Clara Hardy. the
beneficiary.
For years Mr.. Hardy informed Mrs
Hardy that he was depending on that
insurance to pay off the mortgage OF
81, 100000 on his home and for the
past ten years Mrs. Hardy paid the
premium on the insurance out of her
own money, and then for some un-
known reason and without Mrs.
Hardy's knowledge, the latter part OF
February. 1923, Mr.. Hardy caused
the insurance changed again. This
time Miss Simmons. a niece, was
made the beneficiary. I
Mr.. Hardy died March 10, 1923,
less than three weeks after the bene,
ficiary in the insurance had been
changed, leaving no funds with which
to pay off the mortgage on the home
and no property except the home.
Under these conditions, Mrs. Har-
dy notified the insurance company
that it seemed that undue influence
had been exercised on Mr.. Hardy and
to withhold payment until an investi-
cation could be made.
The insurance company then paid
the money over to the clerk of the
district court, to be paid to whoever
was entitled to it.
Mrs. Hardy made no appearance in
court, did not contest the matter, and
as a matter OF course the money was
paid over to Miss Simmons. named as
beneficiary In the insurance policy.
Yours truly. -

Attorney for Mrs. Hardy.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 3.-The St.

Wood has lost so much caste as the

WILL SPEAK At

Principal of Industrial High
School Will Tell of Work

GREW FROM NOTHING TO
ONE OF THE GREATEST
Various Departments Character
ize Progressive Spirit
of Leader.

Mr.. A. HI. Parker, principal or the
Industrial High School of Birming-
ham, Ala, who is the guest of his
cousin, Mr.. and Mrs. George Wills,
1902 Iglehart avenue, is one of the
formost educational and Industrial
builders of the race. The work OF
Prof. Parker in building SO great a
school during his administration is
of great Importance. He became
principal of the High School in 1893.
1t was at that time very small
school and it was necessary for MT.
Parker to function in the capacity
of principal, teacher and janitor be-
fore reaching his present success.
The graduating class of this year
numbered 103 students from the
various departments; this proves that
courage plus hard work will sur
mount any reasonable difficulty.
Have Many Departments
Thirty teachers are employed in
the various departments of the school
at present, in comparison to one
teacher at the beginning of Mr.. Park
er's regime. One thousand students
are in attendance and the curriculum
embraces thoro courses in nursing,
printing, tailoring, home economics,
and domestic science. Other depart
ments cover dying, mechanics, plumb
ing and heating and electrical wiring
A sixty piece band is another one
of the assets of the school. The girls
must learn to cook and sew besides
their theoritical education. The
school laundry is closely allied with
this department. A school paper is
edited by the class in printing and
a major portion of the printing OF
the citizens is handled thru the
school medium.
VIII Have New Building
The continuous growth of the High
School has necessitated an increase
in the buildings. A program Is under
way whereby ,he school will have q
new structure costing $250,0oo which
will without doubt. expedite enc
iency. A major portion of these con-
tinued improvements may be traced
to the initiative and personal work OF
Principal Parker. His success is at
tributed to his being able to foresee
the future needs and plan according
ly. Mrs. Parker is also OF valuable
assistance as she has so systematizeo
the luncheon department that the
student body of one thousand are fed
In forty minutes.
One can readily see that the In
dustrial High School is of paramount
Importance to the community that 1t
serves.
Principal Parker will speak at
Pilgrim Baptist School Sunday eve
ming, August 9Th. Everyone is urged
to hear him.
