that they may see the possibilities
of this huge ares which is but wait
ing the completion of the Oregon
project. An effort is also to be
made to interest the Department OF
the Interior in the lands located on
Liberty bench, now drawing their
water supply from the Greybull riv-
err, with the idea in mind that pos
sibly much of this land may be in
.cluded under the Oregon basin pro-
.ject. This plan will possibly elm
mate the, necessity of building the
huge reservoir in Sunshine basin,
which is not meeting with the popu-
lar accord of the residents on the
Greybull river, and may possibly be
a solution of the long demand for
more water for lands located well
down the river
Supt. Mitchell of Powell will join
the party, and will go on with the
reclamation men to the Shoshone
dam and later in the evening of
June oath will take them to Powell
where a meeting is scheduled to
take place. Messrs Work and Mead
will have but two days in which to
visit on the Shoshone project and
cannot be induced to spend more
time in Cody on this trip.
There is to be an urgent demand
upon the reclamation men to include
the completion of the %Shoshone pro
ject in their irrigation program of
the next few years. 1t will be
pointed out to them that nowhere
in the state or any other western
state, is there more fertile lands
than will be found in the Oregon
Basin and Heart Mountain projects
The dam which impounds water for
these projects has already been
built, that portion of the cost OF
reclamation has already been made,
and with the available power which
they have from the h~ydro-electric
plant, it is not only most practical.
but in every way advisable, to COM
plete this project before starting
those on which no money yet has
been expended.

CONGRESS |NPAR|S
SEES "SP|R|T CURE
Delegates Differ on Teaching
Children How to Treat
Ghosts.
Nv the Associated sPress.

PARIS, September 9-Y esterday's
sensation of the International Spirit
ualistic Congress was the appearance
'of Jeanne Devors, a Belgian girl 20
years old.
She had been afflicted with coxilgia,
a tubercuIar disease of the hip, from
the age of 10 months. Doctors
operated twice and then abandoned
hope. Three months ago, the dele
gates were told, NJ. Connecks, head
of the Belgian delegation TO the con-
gress, started giving her spiritualist
treatment, including a simple direct
prayer to God and magnets passes
by mediums. The girl now walks, ii
was asserted, without the aid OF
cane and her foot and hip are re-
Stunning their normal shape.
A difference of view developed be-
tween French and English delegates
yesterday as to whether spiritualism
should be taught in the family. The
French favored this, arguing that IL
would train children to treat ghosts
fearlessly. The English demurred on
the grounds that it might have an
adverse influence on children. The
American delegates maintained neu-
trality.
The question of whether spiritual
Ism is a religion also divided hte dele
gates. Ine Americans ana EnSlISn
maintained that it should be so
classified, while the majority of the
French would limit it to a philosophic
and moral code.
The committee yesterday adopted
spiritualist flag, which will have a
white ground with a golden sun in
the center.
\ resolution was passed disapprov-
ing of mourning as egotistical. Death
IS life, the resolution said, so mourn
ing and sadness are misplaced.

1t was a rainy night and the Veteran was

Good Evening.

EVOLUTION IN BALTIMORE.


The evolution enania has gotten as far
North as Baltimore, and Johns Hopkins Uni
versity proudly announces that twenty Sure
huff monkeys are On their way from the
Himalaya mountains of Asia to Baltimore,
where an exhaustive attempt will be made to
find out for once and for all the real truth
about the origin of man. Several white
scientists who have charge of the experiment,
will keep records of the habits of the monk
eys, together with their births deaths, parent
al instincts, and social relationships; and the
monkey colony will be carefully compared
with those of men. Percfance the monkey
charts and mortality statistics will be intro
duced as expert evidence when the Scopes
case comes from Tennessee for final adjud-
ication.
Not being very we'll acquainted with Asatc
monkeys, we do not know just what they will
do under the restricted environment which
will be carefully shaped for them at Johns
Hopkins University. We are venturing to
suggest, however, some activities which we
firmly believe they would not engage in, even
though they were given a chance We are
confident they would not become consumers
of bootleg liquor; nor do we believe they
would join lynching party, though they can
find some excellent instructors on this side of
the ocean. While trained ape is very intel
llgent, we are convinced that one would never
develop sufficient thought to recognize color
distinctions. If monkey were highly trained
we don't believe he would refuse aid to an
injured man, as was recently the case in
Memphis, Tenn
We certainly wish the Johns Hopkins
scientists great success in their experiments
and trust that they may achieve results which
WI be of use to the scientific and civilized
world. But we would like to add the hope
that Johns Hopkins may, too, add class of
twenty colored scholars to its medical and
other departments for careful study and OBJ
servation and opportunity
Such an EVOLUTION as this. we sim
cerely believe, would be of much benefit.
particularly to the University the Negroes
and the Nation, to all of whom the scientific
and social relationships of soulful men should
be of far greater Importance than the origin
and habits of soulless monkeys

MUSICAL AMERICA GOES ABROAD

Percy Granger (white) one of the worlds
greatest pianists, has returned from Europe
with the astounding information that jazz
music is popular all over Europe. Jazz
says Mr.. Granger, is the natural music of
America and owes its popularity to its thor
ough originality Just how American Sc
lects' will take Mr. Graingers statement is
cutie question when it is considerd that
Jazz is the child of Ragtime and Ragtine
is the musical offspring of American Negroes,
Thus if Negroes are the originators of honest
to- goodness American music-and they must
re. ii Mr.. Granger says soft is not strange
that they are so thoroughly familiar with the
pulse beats of American temperament and
American psychology; for, alas, their musical
product has bee, pilfered and taken abroad
TO delight not only stequenters of the Partisan
Montemarte but into London Music Halls.
Scandinavia, Russia and so On.
When VIII Marion Cook wrote his famous
Emancipation Day" and Harry T. BurIeigh
assisted Anton Dvorak compose the wonderful
New World Symphony neither Cook nor
Burleigh dreamed that they, as American Ne
gro musical geniuses would later be given
credit for popularizing American originality
across the Alps and the Rhine. They proba-
bly, believed that a European battlefield line
would be the only background over which
American Negroes might take some original
American products to Europe, and that all
army rife rather than moaning saxophone
would carry their message Of Americanism
across the seas.
Thanks to Mr. Granger, however credit
has been given where credit is due. And our
only regret is that more Americans of Mr..
Grainger's hue will not take inventory over
here of worthy accomplishments of their fell
lowmen whose ancestors were brought from
