"Deep in the s,oamp Mr.. Council met

had to endure. The fugitives from Haiti
made themselves at home, hopeful that
somehow way back to France might be
found. But they must have been broken
in spirit by the sheer terror of what they
had endured, and after a while the will
derness swallowed them. A new genera
ton that knew nothing but the swamp
and the plaintive dull sorrow of the old
women took their places. They became
one with the people they found In the
swamp, with the swamp itself. A century
passed.
In this return to the primitive these
refugees gradually forgot the culture that
should have been their inheritance. They
forgot everything but the grim necessity
of wrestling. a living from the swamp.
Forgot even the spelling of their own
names, or the spelling of any names.
CluveireS became ClewiS, and DeSaucerie
became merely SaSSer, and Formy-Duvau
degenerated into half dozen unimpreS-
Sive variations.
And gradually their speech degener-
ated. What must have been a pure
French became something that was not
French nor American nor Portuguese nor
Spanish, but had some of the character
iSticS of all Of them. Then, finally, Amer
lean English came to occupy the domi-
nant position. The fugitives brought
with them burden Of terror that helped
them to forget their native ways.
CVEN their legends took refuge in
silence, except when the older peo-
pie were sure Of friendly listener.
Among themselves, handing them down
from mother to child, there was the
fierce hatred, born Of terror, against
black people, and the name Of the island
from which they had been driven was
clothed with am especial terror. Some
day, the legends said, frightful ven
geance would come upon the black peo-
pie of Haiti, terrible day Of reckoning.
This feeling is the most persistent of
their beliefs.
It would be difficult to say-and Mr..
Council was reluctant to hazard guess
as to how many of the $500 people
scattered over the occasional high ground
in hundred square miles Of swamp are
descended from the remnant who es-
capped the Black Rebellion. Half Of them,
perhaps, would not be bad guess.
There must have been some amalgama-
ton Of races and families in the remote
isolation Of the forest, but the French
strain, even after q century and quar-
ter, is definitely apparent. 1t Is predomi-
nant, If you stop to analyze individuals,
to set them over against definite types OF
their neighbors.

An ominous silence pervaded the

HOK|E HITS PINS
FOR 387 SET

Hokie Smith is all ready for
Henry Hiser Saturday night.
He gave an inkling of his con,
dition by cutting the pins for a
387 set, including a 157 wallop'
though his King Pin team bowed
twice to the vigorous pin-slapping
of the Petworth crew in the Dis
trict League.
Petworth alleys are plenty
tough to those unfamiliar with
them, and when a crack bowler
visits them for the first time
in several months and chalkS up
387 set, that lad is going places,
incidentally, Hokie picked up a
couple of pins on his 124 aver.
age. Chick Heltman's 1863 and
Clarence Kibbey's 357 figured
heavily in the Georgia Avenue
gangs victory.
Johnny Micro laid the mineralite
in the pocket neatly for a $50
game and 1863 set to lead Rinaldi
Tailors to a clean sweep over
Young and Simon in the National
Capital League. Ollie Pacini had
357. Lake led the insurance
men with 338.
Louie Chipouras again grabbed
the spotlight in the Dynamite
League with 131 game and 356
set. Campbell's 141 and Phillips
1862 were the Internal Revenue
heroes with General CounSePs
$40 and Personal Audit's 1,649
topping the teams scores.

was high in the Amos an Andy
League, Whites lis and 311 led

Joe Toomey's triple-header in

BOWIE RACE TRACK, Md,
Nov. 19.-Mrs. Blanche Watson is
planning to ship her stable to
Cuba for the winters racing.
Jockey Don Meade and Agent
Pedone will accompany the stable.
Here's one for the book. Fair
dale was sold last winter at st.
Johns Park, Florida, for $3.50,
and since then has won 13 races
and more than $4,000 in purses.
There were two nice perform
ances shown yesterday by w.
Prior, the 100-pound apprentice,
who is under contract to Frank
j. Kearns. The lad registered
with John F., $13.10, and then
kicked Scot Free, SO, home. He
will go to Cuba with the j. P.
White stable.
Jockey R. Leishman has ac-
cepted terms to ride for George
D. Widener next year and has
departed for Miami where he
will ride for the Philadelphia
sportsman.
Leishman, while securing only
few mounts this year, is what
one would call a money rider.
He was astride Shem, one that
afterward proved to be a ringer,
when he won at Havre de Grace,
but the lad was unaware of the
fact when he was hoiSted into
the saddle. A year ago Leishman
had IL winners, 40 seconds and
35 thirds to garner $74,030 in
purse money.
Tommy Sullivan, who claimed
Scot Free, also holds some
sort of a record for he has won
five races since making the
claim. After winning a race at
Havre de Grace.
Scot Free captured two at
Laurel and his score yesterday
was so easy that it looks as if
he will continue to make it tough
for the platter division.
Jockey L. Knapp packed his
tack today and departed for his
home In California. Later in
the winter he will join Bennett
Creech's stable at Aqua Caliente,
Mexico.
John Kermath, of New York,
states that the report published
that his horses we're attached by
the sheriff of this county was
erroneous. Kermath states that
the horses in question belong to
David j. Ely.
Jockey A. Snider has informed
Jesse Bennett, custodian of the
Jockeys room, that he plans to
leave for Miami either tomorrow
or Saturday.

Silence on coaching changes
prevailed at the university today,
as it has throughout the football
season, while vague rumors have
made the rounds. Rumors were
flying more thickly and faster
this morning.
One which could not be veri-
fled was that Capt. Albie Booth,
variously known as the mighty
atom and potent pygmy, will go
on the coaching staff in an
assistant capacity.
Best available information was
that Adam Walsh, former Notre
Dame star and present line coach
at Yale, will ascend to the head
coach position, or that another
Notre Dame man not now on the
Yale staff but who has made a
success of coaching elsewhere, will
be named if the Walsh appoint
ment does not materialize.
Stevens, whose contract expires
this year, will quit football to
practice medicine.

LA YER LOSS WON'T HURT TECH ELEVEN NEXT YEAR
HON { COMING
TILT 9THFOR
Old LINERS

Maryland's football team will
be playing its ninth Homecoming
day game when it tackles Wash
ing and Lee at college Park
Saturday at 2:30 O'Clock.
The annual affairs were inau-
gurated back in 1928. when one
of the greatest teams ever turned
out by the Old Liners ran away
from Catholic University, 40 to 6.
All other Homecoming tilts have
been with Washington and Lee
and Virginia, except for a score
less battle staged with North
Carolina State in 1924.
One Victory Over G. U.
Maryland has won three of the
homecoming affairs, three have
been tied and two have been lost.
One of the victories was scored
over Washington and Lee, and
the other, in addition to that
over Catholic u, was over Vir.
ginia, with which two ties have
been played.
The two defeats have been at
the hands of Washington and
Lee. Maryland had the 1925
game "sewed up," 3 to 0, when a
forward pass, made by the Old
Liners with 20 yards to so for a
score and about a minute to
play, was intercepted by the
Generals and turned into a touch
down and victory.
Blocked Kick Nets Tie
The Old Liners also had Vir-
ginia beaten, to 0, with a. min
ute to play in 1928 when the
Cavaliers blocked a kick near
midfield and recovered the ball
after it had rolled to the 1-yard
line. They then took it over for
the tieing touchdown.
Comparative records give Mary
land the edge for Saturdays tilt,
but the recent showing of the
Generals, including victories over
Virginia, Virginia Poly and Prince
ton, bode trouble for the Old
Liners and the washington and
Lee jinx may return to life.

PROMINENT FILM STAR DIES

NEW YORK, Nov. %. UPJ -
Robert Ames, AZ, and Ina Claire,
stage and screen stars and off stage
sweethearts, had set today for a
decision on whether they would ap-
pear together in the only roles of a
projected Broadway drama.
They were cast instead in the
leading parts of a drama of life
and death, Ames dead under mys-
terious circumstances with an
autopsy set for today in New York.
Ames came east last Tuesday
from the coast where he had been
linked romantically with Miss
Claire, the former wife of John
Gilbert. He had conferred with
Tom VanDyke on the latter's play,
Interview and was enthusiastic
over its possibilities. Miss Claire,
it was understood, was not so en-
thusiostic.
Success of the couple in the film
play Rebound" was believed to
have led to their consideration as

Ames' body was found by a
