INDIAN MUSIC RICH
WITH MELODY

People usually think of Indian
music as the monotonous humdrum
they hear at Indian fairs and exhi-
bitions," says Thurlow Lieurance.
noted composer and authority on In
dian music, who will appear at the
Rylander Theaters Thursday evenin ,
March l, under auspices of the Music
Study club.
Whether it be a ceremonial dance,
a flute call, love song or a lullaby.
an underlying theme of pure melody
Will be found running through all If
them. There are working songs, play
songs, hunting songs, society songs
The best love songs come from the
Sioux; the bet ceremonial songs from
the Pueblos; the best sun dances from
the Cheyennes.
In the ritual of the Chippewa
Clan, secret society much like our
Masonic fraternity, music plays an
important part. Initiation into this
society lasts over six weeks, including
as it does, a dramatic pageant of the
Chippewa idea Of the creation of the
world. The songs used on this oc-
caslon alone number more than ZOO"
Mr.. Leurance has recorded at first
hand more than 5000 native melodies
among the North American Indian
tribes. Among these are, first, "By
the Waters of Minnetonka," "The
Owls Bleak Cry" Dying Moon
Flower" " Indian Spring Bird
"O'er the Indian Crad3a-'o, ''Her Blan-
ket" and "Lullaby,55 which will be
heard in the program here. A COL
lection of Indian flutes will be heard
at the concert, played by George B.
Tack.

be an impressive figure in the sad
procession from the White House to
the Capitol. In the mat of flowers
the children will lay cross of yellow
blooms--a golden cross-and the boys

My God, to Thee"
Details for this feature of the
solemnities have been made by the
District Fairgrounds department and
the children will come from the sixty
Fairgrounds of Washington. They
are to meet at their Fairgrounds and
busses and perhaps other cars loaned
by companies and individuals will
carry them to the District building.

such floral riches as we have in May
and June. but the flowers of late
summer are a-bloom. Washington is
not the city of gardens it was once

have trouble in getting blossoms for
their flower carpet and the cross over
which the funeral will pass. Elders
can help in this and the suburbs, where
flower gardens still smile in color.
can make their contribution. Every
garden and every blooming bush will
be sorrowfully happy to give its flow

The New Presidents Trying Task

Calvin Coolidge has been thrust by
the tragedy at SaH francisco sudden
iy and practically w1rn,r-t warning
into IA most difficult and trying pos,-
ton. Although in the nature OF our
affairs the Vice President is chosen
primarily as a potential successor to
the Chief Executive in the event of
his death in office, and is therefore, so
to speak. under warning from the
time he takes his seat in the presiding
officers chair in the Senate, it is al
ways with the full expectation and
the hope that he will not be called
upon to serve in the higher duty.
Mr.. Coolidge, like the other sue
cessor Presidents must carry on in
terms of the policies of his party and
of his predecessor. He must continue
the administration in the same terms
in which it has been conducted up to
the time he assumes the office, how
ever events may resolve themselves
and affect policies and personnel.
In tie first hours and days or "suc-
cessor administration" there is a Sc
we're strain which is inescapable and
from which the President suffers
severely. He must attend promptly
and thoroughly to the routine of the
office. He must meet many people.
He must completely change his rela-
tionship toward affairs, advanced thus
suddenly from a place on the side
lines. 80 to speak, to the very center
of government.
With all the distractions of official
mourning-which is also a personal
bereavement in the case of Mr.. Cool
to practical affairs, receive reports,
confer on governmental matters and
consider his own readjustment to the
responsibilities attending the direct
grasp of the governmental throttle
which, when once the hand is laid
upon it. cannot be relinquished until
Mr.. Harding's case, death loosens the
fingers.
For the President in this stressful
time must be the keenest sympathy,
and there must be also the best wishes
and the most helpful service in CO.
operation. He has become the leader
of the nation and he should have the
help of all.

The Treaty With Turkey.

Treaties signed by representatives
OF the United States government and
Of the Turkish government at Lau-
same yesterday re-establish diplo-
matte relations between the two coun-
tries. When the United States en-
tered the world war relations between
this country and Turkey were severed,
but there never was a declaration Of
war and technically the United
States was not at war with the Otto
man empire Since the close of the
war, however, affairs have been in
disturbed condition in the nsar east,
eliminating in the war between Tur-
key and Greece and the expulsion of
the Greek forces from Smyrna and
other portions of former Turkish ter
ritory.
For weeks and months at Lau-
same, Switzerland, the representa-
tives of the allied governments and
Turkey worked upon a treaty of peace
and a convention relating to the use
Of the straits of the Dardanelles and
the Bosphorus, documents signed
within the last month. Joseph c.
Grew, United States minister to
Switzerland, represented the United
States at the Lausanne conference,
and, while the United States was not
a party to the treaty of peace, the
representative of this country was
largely instrumental in Strengthening
out and smoothing over difficulties
that arose and threatened to dissolve
the conference. Mr.. Grew succeeded
In preventing the recognition in the
treaty of peace of alleged vast pc
troleum concessions claimed by a
British company, considered preju-
dicial to the interests Of this country.
Now Mr.. Grew has brought to sue
cessfu1 conclusion the negotiations Of
the treaties between this country and
Turkey, one a general pact and the
other relating to extradition.
These treaties will go to the United
States Senate for ratification when
that body meets, in December, or.
Evening star., 1923-08-07
,oner should a special session

sooner should q special session be
called. They supersede all other and
older treaties between the two coun-
tries. Turkeys system of govern
ment has been greatly modified with
the overthrow of the old regime and
her political ideals have become far
more democratic. Mr.. Grew has
pointed out that her relations have
changed with European nations and
that not unnaturally the change has
brought about the conclusion of the
new treaties with the United States.
The most favored nation treatment,
under the treaties, will be accorded
the United States by Turkey and
vice versa. Diplomatic and consular
officers will be exchanged, citizens
of the United States will be entitled
to travel and reside in Turkey and
to engage in business and profess
sional activities permitted by law to
foreigners; of particular interest is
the fact that the most favored nation
treatment is accorded in the matter
oi ttiu 1OiiSStiolI VI
on imports and exports. 1t is specially
provided, as in the treaty with Euro
pean nations, that American citizens,
with regard to matters of personal
status. shall be subject to American
courts only. Although the United
States assumes no responsibility for
application of the straits convention.
her ships are assured the freedom of
the Dardanelles, the Bosphorus and
the Sea Of Marmora. in accordance
with the stipulations of the straits
convention.
At present and for some time the
United States has been represented
in Turkey by a high commissioner,
Rear Admiral Mark l.. Bristol. With
the ratification of the Turkish treaties
just signed, and the resumption of
diplomatic relations, the appointment
of an ambassador to Turkey is to
follow. This will be one of the first
major diplomatic posts 10 be filled by
President Coolidge.

Suspension of Business.

Suspension of private business in
the District during the very solemn
hours of this mourning time will con.
stitute devoted manifestation of the
depth to which the people of the Cap
ital have been touched. The Com
missioners yesterday called upon the
owners of places of private business
to close stores and markets today
during the time that the body of the
late President is being moved from
Union station to the White House,
namely from l pm. to pm, and on
Wednesday during the time that the
funeral cortege is moving from the
White House to the Capitol, namely
from 10 am. to II m." There is no
doubt that the call will be answered
with practical unanimity by the busi-
ness interests of Washington and there
is little doubt that this action would
have been generally taken even
though no suggestion had come from
errment.
That part of the Commissioners call
relating to the closing of places Of
business today was written when the
funeral train was not many minutes
behind its schedule and when it was
believed that it would reach WASH
ington at 1870 pm. Further time has
been lost by the special bearing the
remains Of the late President, and this
is due to the request of the widow
that the train not run faster than
