DR.. C. A. Tindley is known
throughout the country. He has trav-
eled abroad very extensively. He is
a great preacher and lecturer. The

DR.. Tindley. All of st. Paul's many
white friends and well wishers have
a very cordial welcome to be with

Tindley while many have only

E. Church, Third and North streets,

ity of hearing this great man of
God.

breaks of typhoid fever, or other So

frequently occurred either during or
Immediately after, time of drought.
Whenever there may be doubt con-
cerning the purity of any water OF
which use must be made, it should
be remembered that there are safety
measures which can be wholly re-
lied upon to remove the danger.
Boiling the water, or even bringing
it to and maintaining it at the pas
teurizing temperature of 145 degrees
for 20 minutes will be found ample
to protect against the transfer OF
most of the infections. If these mea-
sures are not the measures OF
choice, or cannot be followed, there
are several chemical measures equ-
ally efficaciOus, the best known OF
which is chlorination, he points out.
Still other protective measures
which an individual may exercise
are within his reach. Vaccination
against the disease is eficaeious and

is any danger of infection. The val
ue of this procedure is becoming
yearly more highly appreciated. The
protection it affords is positive, and
apparently of much more lasting
nature than was at first thought.
An outbreak such as that which
has recently occurred at Salisbury,
Nd, is greatly regretted, not only
on account of the illnesses and the
deaths which will be the immediate
result of the disease, but also be-
cause a proportion of those who be-
come ill and recover will become
carriers of the disease, to the dang
er and possible detriment of those
with whom they may be later
brought in contact, he declared.

he and the condemned man had
gone to the Reed home to purchase
He also stated in the affidavit that
they were in the habit of going there
to purchase liquor.
In the second affidavit he stated
that he testified in the original suit
as he did because an official had
told him he would be hanged if he
did not do so. This part of the afIi-
davit was jumbled and incoherent.
Persons named in connection with
it are officers Ray, Ingram and Sam
uel Powell, State Detective D. d.
Wharton and Attorney General Will
lev The two officers were referred
to as speed cops"
In the face of Gray's denial that
the statements made in the affidavits
were true, it was argued by defense
attorneys that his testimony in the
original suit was disqualified.
Russ was sentenced on April 20 to
hang on July 25, but he was given
a stay of execution by the governor.
This stay expires today. Attorneys
for Russ said Monday night an at
tempt will be made for a new trial
in the court of Oyer and Terminer
on the grounds Of the conflicting
Gray statements.
In the hearing Monday a petition
for Communication of sentence was
based on the contention that no rea-
sonable and fair minded jury could
have been secured at the time to
try the man.
A considerable crowd attended the
hearing. Mrs. Mary Reed, the wo-
man on whom the assault was
charged to have been committed at
tended the hearing but was not
called to testify.
Russ was represented by T. c.
Fraim and Max Terry, Dover at
torneys, who defended him in the
trial. and James NJ. Tunnel, oil
GEORGETOWN, and i. L. Redding, ne
gro attorney, of Wilmington, who
recently joined counsel for the de-
fense.
1t is customary to hang condemn
ed prisoners in Delaware shortly af-
ter 10 O'Clock in the morning and II
is probable that such a procedure
will be followed in this case.
Counsel for Theodore Russ, negro,
convicted of felonious assault, made
their last appeal for him yesterday
before the Kent County Court of Oy-
er and Terminer. AS the Chronicle
went to press yesterday noon, we
are unable to give the decision OF
the court in this issue.
Thomas c. Frame, one OF Russ
counsel, on Tuesday made applica-
ton to the Kent County Court OF
Over and Terminer for a new trial
for Russ on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence. The court set yes

the execution, as the time for the
hearing.

JUSTIN SANDRIDGE RECITAL
*, XA

The Virginia Union University
presents Justin cambridge, the cele-
brated pianist, with the great Viz
GINA Union University choir of one
hundred voices, Wednesday evening,
February 5th, at Fifth Street Bap-
fist Church.
Justin Sandridge is a truly great
artist. To adequately describe the
perfection of his playing is an al
most unsurmountable task. That he
vii be awarded place among the
finest pianists of all time is the
opinion of critics who have heard
him. ~.
,oandri ge, an American product;
was born in Boston and received all
his musical training there under mas
ter instructors. He made his debut
two seasons ago as guest soloist with
the great Bosom Philharmonic Or
chestra of 100 men before an audi
ence o. 5000.
Mr.. Sandridge opened his 1929.3O
tour in Washington, D. Q. He
l!ayed in the great music halls OF
Pittsburgh and other large cities to
Great audiences-prolonged applause
characterized his every appearance.
The Union University choir of one
hundred notes.-the heart-searching
beauty of their singing and the meas
ured emotion with which 1t IS
charged fulflls the perfect aim OF
art, which is to excite and then to
satisfy. Infinitely touching is the
music from this great body of voices,
which seems to come out from eter-
nifty rather than from human threats.
It's rhythm, its exaltation, its SEN
suous loneliness thrill the ear.
