ditions Was Changed.
RH the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Senate Finance Committee dug
into the financial affairs of Cuba today
and learned that a Son-inlaW of Pres
ident Machado had part in a $50
600 900 loan made to that country by
the Chase National Bank.
Carl J. Schmidlapp, vice president
of the bank, said s5OO,OO0 had gone to
Jose Obregon as an official of the Chase
Co.'S Cuban branch for distribution
to the banks that took part in the
loans.
He said the relative Of the Cuban
President had only minor part in ne
gotiating the loan and denied he was
employed for that purpose.
Earlier. Herbert D. Brown, chief Of the
United States Bureau of Efficiency,
testified that a report he had made OF
conditions in Panama had been chang
ed by officials of the National City
Bank.
Profits Put at s627,927.
He said his report had pointed out
a way by which the country could avoid
borrowing but that the bank went
ahead and loaned it s4,OOO,OOO.
Schmidlapp said the Chase Bank had
made profits of $627, ,927 from its Cuban
loans from which it had not deducted
losses through depreciation in values.
The bank and the Chase Securities
CORPORATION held $5,415, 900 of Cuban
securities on January %, ne said.
Schmidlapp said Obregon was joint
manager of the Cuban branch from
April. 1927 to April, 1881, when ne
resigned. The loan was negotiated in
April 1928.
The total Of loans to Cuba by Chase
and its associates, the witness said,
was 100000 900, of which all but $lO,-
600 900 were made while Obregon was
in charge.
Why was it the commission was not
paid the joint managers Of the BANK"
King asked.
1T was not customary" the witness
replied.
S125,000 for Expenses.
C, P. Anderson, jr., vice president of
the Chase Harris Forbes Corporation,
testified S125 900 of the $500,000 paid to
Obregon was used to pay usual expenses
Of negotiating and distributing the loan.
OF the remainder, he said, $4,000
went to tho Chase Bank, $4,000 to the
Chase Securities Corporation and the
remainder went to other bankers in the
group.
Chairman Smoot placed in the rec
ord a letter from the Cuban Patriotic
League saying the payment of $780,
900 to Obregon was a replica" Of the
commission received by the son of
former Peruvian President on loans to
that country.
The letter charged "a large part Of
the money advanced by the Chase
Bank was pilfered by the Machado ad-
miniStration."
THE Chase Bank" the letter said,
tatorship a tWo-year lease on life. 1t
has permitted the wholesale murder
and exploitation which has character
lied the Machado despotism."
The letter said Machado went into
office absolutely penniless and is now
reputed to be worth over $50,000OOO.

ceptance of the japanese demand

AUGUSTA, Ga, November 9.-Mem-
bers Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South and Of the Colored Methodist
Episcopal Church are preparing to cele-
brate early in 1888 the 50th ami
versary OF the founding here Of Paine
College, believed to be the only school
OF college grade where Southern white
people and Southern Negroes work to-
gether directly for Negro education.
The school, which has an enrolment
OF about 200, of whom 125 are In the
college and the rest in the high school,
was founded in cellar by DR.. George
Williams Walker. South Carolina
aristocrat who believed the Negro had
too few opportunities After a while it
was transferred to two stables.
Braved Popular Opinion.
Dr.. Walker and his associate, Prof.
Robert L. Campbell, soldier of the Con-
federacy, had to buck popular opinion,
both white and colored The idea that
q Southern white man should teach
Negroes was so unpopular that bishop
of the Colored Methodist Church paid
the first boys and girls to marticulate
at Paine Institute, as the school was
known until 1908.
Step by step the founder of the in
stitution. who was its president for over
Is years, built it into recognized
school He was aided largely by the
Methodist Episcopal Church South and
also by the Colored Methodist Episcopal
Church and by gifts from individuals.
Today Paine College has four attrac-
tive brick buildings and a pretty
campus of 65 acres. It stands on the
approved list of the Southern Associa-
tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Ten thousand students have passed
through its halls Its first college grad
uate Is now Bishop Randall A. Carter
of the Colored Methodist Episcopal
Church. Another is DR.. Charming H.
Tobias, international secretary OF the
Young Mems Christian Association, IN
charge Of the associations work for
Negroes.
Trains for Leadership.
It's training is largely academic, for
It believes that its best service can be
in preparing Negroes for leadership
Eighty per cent of its graduates are
living and working in the South. Many
of them are teachers.
The president of Paine has always
been a Southern white man; the dean,
a Southern Negro. Members OF both
races serve on the board of trustees and
on the faculty.

racial relations has been developing
and attracting worldwide attention. 1t
