WINGED us that Johnson intended to
edit the journal in manful way, and
at the same time in such way as to
cultivate and retain the respect and
friendship OF the great group upon
whom we are 50 frequently depend

Under Editor Johnson, "Opportu-

depicting Negro life, and its hopes.
ideals and ambitions, to all who are
thoughtful enough to realize that it is
an entity deserving Of serious consid-
Grafton in the shaping Of American
life. Johnson always has a story
which fits into both sides Of the RAJ
cial equation, and thereby helps Amer
lea to understand itself more toler-
antly.

New Orleans, La, Sept. All Of
the 80 persons indicted By a federal
grand jury here Thursday on charges
OF conspiracy to violate the national
prohibition act furnished bond Of
$4,000 each Friday.
Many Of Mr.. Cohen's closest friends
thought that the distinguished Comp
troller Of the Port Of New Orleans
was the victim Of a gigantic frame-up
calculated to remove him from Office
Mr.. Cohen was the first Of the indicted
men to furnish bail His bond Is said
to have been signed by Gus Oertling-
prominent white Republican
Cohen Issues Statement
Mr. Cohen issued statement Fri
day saying that he was as much sur
prised as any person III New Orleans
when I heard Of the indictment" and
adding. I was al my summer home
at Bay St. Louis when ! was notified
Of It and at once returned TO the
city. He terminated his brief state
ment with a strong assurance Of vim
dication.
1t Is said that certain southern white
politicians have been greatly aggrieved
since the appointment Of Mr.. Cohen
to the position he now holds By Presi-
dent Harding and have made various
efforts to Gust him during his incum-
bency. 1t will be recalled that in 1924
an effort was made in the courts prior
to the national election to have Mr.
Cohen declared an alien and therefore
incompetent to hold a federal Office
This effort proved a fasco.
Cohen's appointment created a
storm in the United States Senate and
it twice refused to confirm his ap-
pointment After hard fight lasting
more than two years bis appointment
was finally approved after Presidents
Harding and Coolidge had insisted
On i. In 1922 President Harding
gave Cohen the first OF three recess
appointments and he served without
pay until his confirmation.
Among others indicted were DR.. L.
4. Meraux. sheriff Of St Bernard
Parish; Capt. Joseph johnson, of the
New Orleans police department; Cor
poral John Conrad and Patrolman
Paul Gilmore, Alonzoe Patterson and
Arthur Battisella, alleged heads Of an
extensive rum running organization.
The conspiracy charge sets up the
allegation that various persons named
in the indictment planned to transport
4,25O cases Of liquor from Havana,
Cuba, to New Orleans. Three police
men were alleged to have assisted in
the landing Of the cargo. It is claimed
that the liquor was carried from the
ship in high speed motor boats said
to belong to Patterson. Battisel1a, is
said to have been acting in the ca
pacity Of purchaser.
Furnishing information as to the
movements Of customs boats is the
charge made against Hon. Walter L.
Cohen. The Indictment alleges that
Patterson consulted with Cohen July
p as to the whereabouts Of customs
launch.

To Find Out Rights
of Maine in Proposed
Grand Falls Project

Governor Ralph o. Brewster will
thoroughly Investigate the rights of
the State OF Maine in connection
with the proposed power develop
ment at Grand Falls, n. B.. by the
New Brunswick Power Commission.
Replying to letter from Frank
3. kellogg, secretary of State Of the
United States, asking for the views
of Governor Brewster upon the ef-
feet Of the project upon the interest
Of the State or local private inter-
ests, the Governor has sought ex-
tension beyond March II for the fl
ing of communication to the Inter-
national Joint Commission upon the
subject.
Extension was asked by the Gov
ernor in order that time might be
granted to afford opportunity to
properly investigate the situation.
He pointed out that travel at this
season was very difficult along the
st. John River, where any investi-
cations might be carried out and
that there was at present "only\ the
most elementary knowledge as to the
extent to which our rights and in
forests will be affected by the pro-
ject that is proposed"
The erection of the proposed
dam will seriously arrest the natural
flow of a boundary stream and will
affect properties within the State CT
Maine" Governor Brewster points
out. ut seems probable that it might
overflow existing railroad lines along
this stream"
The Governor argues that no
jurisdiction would be enjoyed by the
Courts of the State of Maine or by
the Federal government over the
persons or corporations responsible
for the erection of the proposed
dam at Grand Falls and urges great
caution in any initial grants of
authority that may be made in this
case.
He points out that the proposed
dam at Grand Falls will raise the
water on the Maine side OF the
boundary line 16 feet above the ma
tural low water level. extending back
81 miles. overlooking several hun
dred acres in the State of Maine.
The Governor says that in addi-
ton to the initial development,
carried out largely by storage faci-
lities available on this side OF the
line, it Is believed that IS per cent
of the storage calculated to make
the project economically successful
must finally be developed in the
State of Maine.
without prejudice to other in
terests which may develop as this
projects proceeds. the State of Maine
at this time is vitality concerned
with it's rights and privileges in re-
lation to the properties that are here
involved" Governor Brewster in
| forms Secretary Kellogg.
Insofar as the State of Maine Is
concerned" says the Governor. 1T
| is submitted that legislative sanction
would be desirable IL not necessary
for any grant of rights within its
territories that might be proposed
mo known power exists in the
Executive Department to abridge
the rights of property enjoyed by
owners within our bounds in con-
.nection with a project of this kind,
nor would 1t be possible for the
Executive Department to approve
settlement of interests so materially
affecting the State of Maine" the
Governor further asserts.

Serge koussevitZky, conductor of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra is
credited with having introduced to
the western world the compositions
of Moussorgsky and Rimsky- Kor-
sakov, two of the most noted of
Russian composers.
The two were little known outside
Russia until Koussevitzky began to
feature their music at his concerts
in the various European capitals
Excerpts from the music of these
two composers will make up a part
of the program for his Portland con-
cert at City Hall March %.
The principal monuments OF tho
genuine of Moussorgsky are the
operas Boris Codunov' and
'khovantchina."
The prelude to the latter will be
played in Portland. This depicts
the coming of dawn over the Red
Square in the Kremlin at Moscow,
and has its distinct color and mood
suggestive of the subject 1t is an
interesting sample of Russian music.
AS native Russian Koussevitzky
is perhaps at his best in the inter-
probation of Russian music, and
there will be much interest in his
Interpretation of this prelude and
THE Flight of the Bundle Bee" a
scherzo from Rimsky- X orsakov's
fairy opera. 'Tsar Saltah." which is
quite as different in mood from the
other selection as may be imagined.

There is a way to keep hair dark
and glossy like a girls. To end all
the streaks of gray. And to thus de-
duct from 10 to 20 years from ones
apparent age.
The way is quick and simple. APP
ply sage tea and sulphur Brew 1t at
home If you wish, as countless wonl-
en- did in the old times. But there Is
a better way.
Now the application comes ready
prepared in q modern laboratory. 1t
is not mussy. Some added factors III
it make the hair more beautiful.
Your druggist supplies this modern
preparat ton under the name of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound. It costs but little. and you
will find it vastly better than a com =
pound made at home.
Apply it at night as directed. In
the morning the gray is gone. APP
ply 1t once or twice more, until the
hair returns to the darkness, the lus-
ter, the softness of youth.
You will be delighted-will learn
that gray hair is unnecessary. That
dark hair can always be kept like a
sirTs. And the restoration is so even.
SO natural that nobody can suspect
it.
The old ways are the best ways.
