Clyde T. Jaffrays Added to
i List Of Rail Chiefs From
i Outside Jobs.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 15.-When
Clyde T. Jaffray, bank president,
took up his duties today as president
Of the 500 Line, it marked the pass
ing virtually of practical railway
men as executives, of Northwest rail-
roads. OF the half dozen typicaily
Northwest roads that in days gone
by boasted Of the "railroading" abil-
1ty Of their presidents, scarcely one
now can claim that distinction.
Ralph Budd, president ~of the
Great Northern, probably comes the
nearest to being a practical railroad
executive in the Northwest. And he,
like Howard Elliott, was trained
engineer, who won his spurs
through his ability in that line
rather than as a railroader from
the ground up.
Charles Donnelly, president Of the
Northern Pacific, is a lawyer who
has specialized in railroad law. He
succeeded j. M. Hannaford, who be-
gan railroading more than half
century ago and never left it until
his retirement from the Northern
Pacific post.
Hale Holden, Of the Burlington,
another Hill road, likewise is law
yer. William H. Bremen, president
and receiver Of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis, attained his success
through his legal connection with
railroads. III. e. Bremen, president
OF the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul, and 8. M. FELTON, head Of the
Chicago Great Western, are the two
outstanding examples Of practical
railroad men now at the head of
northwest lines. They both started
at the bottom and worked to the
top.
Mr.. Jaffray, who leaves a large
Minneapolis bank to direct the af-
fairs Of the 500, succeeds two prac-
tical railroaders. F. E. Huntington
and Edmund Pennington, the two
previous presidents of the 500, both
grew up in the service. Mr.. Jaf-
fray has for some time been a di-
rector of the 500.

MELODY
Broadcaster Finds Popular
Tune Based on Worthy
Old Music.
BY international News Service.

BOSTON. Jan. Is. - Several
months ago the song, Eyes, We
Have No Bananas" aroused great
interest. It soon swept over two
continents. Millions Of copies w>re
sold.
The composers Of the great HE
were hailed as wonders.
Then came the question, Where
did that popular song come from?"
1t took Miss Jean Sargent, secre-
tary to Maj. j. J. Tanning, who
IL in charge of the radio broad.
casting at the WNAC station to
find the answer. She found that
several sections Of "Yes, We Have
No Bananas" were lifted bodily
from Handel's Messiah" and "I
Dreamt / Dwelt in Marble Halls, I"
from Balf'e famous opera, "The
Bohemian Girl"
Similarly, some parts Of the fox
trot, "Margie," correspond in every
way with the harmony OF Jesus.
Lover of My Soul"
The foundation Of the great song
was discovered while Miss Sargent
was playing HandeTs Messiah. %
Thinking she had put the wrong
roll in the piano, she looked; but,
no. She then played the banana
song and it was the tune Of the
great hit.
The only difference, she says, is
that Bananas is written in the
key Of c and the opera number Is
tone and a half higher, the key

Gilmore charges that the indict.

the evidence. Prosecutor Malcolm
Douglas maintains that the indict-
ments will stand, as Royse is a regu-
larly appointed deputy prosecutor,

handed down. The two cases are
identical, Gilmore claims.

SUDDEN
SWITCH
IS Seen
Prosecutors Pro
gram Apparent
ly Upset; More
EvidenceSought
By Jack Nelson

Plans to return sweeping
indictments against members
of a so-called Seattle liquor
ring went astray Thursday
when the King county grand
jury failed to make its ex-
pected report and began sub
poenaing witnesses again.
Altho according to au-
thoritative court house re-
ports the indictments had
been all outlined and the ma
chinery for returning them
was held in readiness late
Wednesday, a sudden switch
of tactics on the part Of the
Jurors completely. upset the
program planned by Prose
cutor Malcolm Douglas.
The Jurors adjourned until Thurs.
day morning when preparations to
perform the indictment routine was
again made by Prosecutor Douglas.
Both Deputy Prosecutor E. d. Col
win. who is directing the grand
jury, and Court Reporter Arthur
Royse were dismissed from the jury
room while the jurors took up con-
sideration OF the contemplated in.
dictments.
For more than an hour the jurors
debated the proposed indictments
with no one present from the prose
cutors office. Colvin spent the
time In conference with Prosecutor
Douglas. Foreman James McCabc
finally called Colvin into the jury
room.
Then suddenly the indictment
plans were apparently dropped and
the jury resumed its work of in.
vestigating liquor cases. A mum.
Der OF subpoenas were issued and
turned over to Sheriff Matt Star
witch to serve. Three witnesses
were called and one was admitted
to the jury room.
Douglas refused TO comment upon
the sudden switch in grand jury
plans. II was rumored tina. no
indictments would be returned at
all Thursday, and possibly none
Friday altho it is understood that
several, far less than had pre-
viously been indicted. were ready
to be returned.
Lack of evidence to warrant re.
turning the indictments, 1t is be-
lieved, upset the plans. tho Douglas
refused TO say.
