the requirements of the investigation,
so that any classification based upon
the old Investigation is now out OF
date.
Secretary Penn stated that negotia''
tions were under way for new i2ves'
tigation by arhe Council of ChIrcn
Boards of Education, located IN
New York, or some other standard1zlng
agency. 1t is the understanding that un
til THE new investigation is made, 80
that new classification of Negro IN
stituti,ns may be issued, there is no
list of accredited Negro institutions
sponsored by the Council Of Medical
Education of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. Upon this subject the Day
tona conference passed the following
resolutions:
'Resolved, that the presidents and
principals of the professional schools,
colleges and secondary institutions,
operated by the Board of Education for
Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in session at the Daytona-
Goodman Collegiate Institute, Daytona
Florida, note with great satisfaction
the information which comes to US,
that pending new investigation OF Ne
gro colleges, the classification OF Ne
gro schools be discontinued, as publish
ed in Circular No. 1903 page 9. OF the
Council on Medical Education Of the
American Medical Association.
The classification above referred
to was made on the basis Of an investi
cation of Negro institutions from ten
to twelve years ago. The institutions
of the present have made great prog
ress during TIE decade in meeting the
condition mentioned in that investiga-
ton. 1t is therefore both just and right
that the hitherto published list be dis
continued and abrogated, pending a
new Investigation.
Resolved, also, that we appreciate
the effort of our Board of Education
for Negroes, in cooperation with 9TH
er Boards and schools, to secure new
investigation at the earliest possible
moment, that the new classification Of
the schools be made that will ne
brought down to the present date.
The conference closed with Good
Will Sunday when thousand white
tourists and Negro citizens and stu
dents gathered in the chapel of the Day
tona school. President Mary Mcleod

ial Commission and DR.. I. Garland

the statement that the Ku Klux Khan
wished to give him some good advice
with reference to his refusal to leave
the dormitory and said:
"This organization does not take
away a single right as an American citi

IOENDI LOSES TO CELTICs.

preston News Service)


PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 10.-The
world champion Celtic Five playing a
series of games in this vicinity against
the strongest of the local clubs, met
Loendi Thursday night at Labor Tenn
pie before packed house, and romped
away on the long end of $3.50 count,
giving the local champions the worst
beating they have been subjected to in
years.
Loendi's fate, however, was no worse
than that of other clubs, who met the
Celtics. Fans remembering the 42-39
game played earlier in the season, turn
ed out with the hope that Loendi might
hold her opponents to close score, but
all in vain.
After the game in which plenty of
money was wagered and lost-on points
the consensus of opinion seemed to be
that the Celtics can beat any team in
these parts by just as many points as
they want to.

Mind Reader Whispers a Few
Things to Prince Out of
Hearing of Guests
By ROLAND KREBS.
International News Sarv,c.

SYOSSETT, N. Y, Sept. 16.-The
latest interest Of the Prince Of
Wales, it became known today is
In the occult. Last night at a
party at the boathouse of Rodman
Wanamaker, II, at Oyster Bay. the
prince was so interested in the
mind-reading proclivities of a
master mind of mystery who was
the star entertainer that he de.
serted the dance hall to have his
mind read--out on the front porch
where no one could hear.
The mystic and seer told the
prince a few things before the
select group gathered together at
the boathouse after dinner, but
when it began to get interesting
the probe into the occult was
transferred out of their hearing.
What the mystic told the prince,
however, only the twinkling stars
overhead.
Later there was dancing until
a wee-small hour this morning.
The prince was to lunch TODAY
with Egbert Winthrop before going
to the polo match between the
American and British teams this
afternoon, and had no other engage.
ments for the day.
Tentative arrangements are now
being made for the prince and his
party to leave for his Canadian
ranch on Friday.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Torn
across the face like a discarded
program, the British polo team will
enter the field against America this
afternoon for what will almost Ger.
tainly be the final and decisive
match Of the international series,
the victim Of further internal dis
sension which developed in the last
twenty.four hours. The latest rift
was caused by the peremptory
dropping of Major F. B. Hurndall
on the eve Of the match by the
British selection committee. Hurn-
dali happens to be a member Of
the committee but, it is said, wasn't
consolidated about his removal. Hence
the agony.
HurndaII Protests.
Major E. G. Atkinson will play
number in place of Hurndall, the
nounced. He was one Of the weak
est links In the coNo-web chain Of the
British defense in the opening match

Hurndall esteems his successors

action.
The twice-revamped British line
up will include Colonel T. p. Mel
will, No. /; Major Godfrey H.
Phipps-H ornsby, No. q; Major At
kinson, No. 8, and Luis Lacey,
back. It had been announced pre-
viously that Major T. v. Kirkwood
and Major Atkinson, No. and No.
2 in the original lineup would be
removed. The announcement was
only so per cent true, unfortunately
for Major Hurndall. He was cap.
tain OF the original team until de-
NOTED over his vigorous protest in
favor of Lacey.
These difficulties are typical of
what has gone before in the forrna.
ton and management of the in.
Vading four. The original team
The Washington times., 1924-09-16

for instance, was lined up behind
Lord Wimborne, its financial back
er, in favoring Hurndall over Lacey
for field leadership. Lacey still
holds the position however, and
Lord Wimborne Ia an mid-ocean,
bound for England. His hasty de-
parture has given rise to many
unpleasant reminders, few of which
will and Major Phipps- Hornsby,
new members of the team, are said
to be Lacey men.
The above incidents have COM
bined to lower the prestige and
morale of team that never had a
chance in the first place.
1t was faced at the outset by an
outfit, declared by polo experts to
be the greatest ever assembled. and
the British lost by an overwhelm-
ing score. Malcolm Stevenson, in
jured on Saturday, will be missing
from the American lineup this aft
ernoon, but In his place will be Rob.
ert e. Strawbridge, a young man
far more brilliant but not as de-
pendable.
Only a modern miracle can pre-.
vent the Americans from winning
this afternoon and retaining posses
sion of the cup. A third match will
be played on Thursday in any case,
for some reason or other.
Colonel Melvill and Major Phipps
Hornsby are expected to increase
the speed and hitting ability of the
British team at the expense Of
weakening its defense. That seems
to the writer like exchanging q
necktie for a cravat. The Prince OF
Wales will be there again. He is
a Durable Dane for punishment.
