of debate and discussion-which at
times waxed rather warm, the oppo-
sition being led by Adolph Hummer,
Cincinnati, representing the brewery
workers. Hummer opposed the term
extension on the ground that it was
unconstitutional. However, most of
the Cincinnati delegation supported
the resolution.
The officers whose terms were thus
extended are: President, Harry Me-
Laughlin, Cleveland; secretary treas
urer, Thomas ]. Donnelly, Columbus,
and the following seven vice presi-
dents: Lee Hall, Columbus; w. M.

that with the three year extension the
officers terms will not expire until
1886. These officers constitute the
executive board and it is they who
carry out the policies of the fedora
ton, and the delegates made it plain
that it was because OF the earnest
efforts of the officers the past two
years and for faithful performance of
duties, that the term extension was
awarded them. The vote on the ex-
tension resolution was 80 to %.
There were many resolutions of i'm

A BOOK REVIEW

BY the Rev. Neal d. Newlin,
Minister of the First COngre-
gational Church, Hamilton, o.
Keeper of the Keys" by Earl
Derr Biggers.
For many of us, there is such a
real fascination in the appearance
of a new "Charlie Chan" story
that all possible engagements are
cancelled while the story is read
with ceaseless attention. This one
ran as a serial in a popular weekly
magazine, and was there conclud-
ed late in July.
The new portrayal takes the ia
nous Honolulu detective to the
lake region bordering California
Nevada A host of characters are
presented to the reader, but the
principals stand out of a unique
setting. The guilty party Cor par
ties) whom it falls upon Chan to
discover might be any of four or
five. The elimination process is so
complicated as to leave you Won
dering, even at the end. Your i'm
agination shifts the guilt from one
to another until the confusion be-
comes a galaxy of evidence indis-
tinctly pointing to all. But, in the
end, Biggers unravels the circum-
stances in an unforgettably clear
exposition.
Like all authors of detective
stories, Chan's creator makes man
slaughter a repeated process. The
reader may feel that some of the
homicides are not required for the
plot. However, there is nothing
gruesome about the story. And the
interpretations of the ancient phil
osophical maxims of the hero's
race is worth many re-readings.
Don't start this book if you expect
to casually peruse it: you will read
it more than once, and regret that
time prevents the memorization
of much of it.

ROYAL JOHNSON'S
WAR PAY IS Barred
Legion Post DiscIoses He Got
Congressional Salary for
Time Spent in Army.

Charging that Representative Royal
C. Johnson of South Dakota has seen
fit in public to denounce, in furtherance
Of political interest, the claims of vet
erans of the World War" Victory Post
of the American Legion today revealed
that, though he served as an enlisted
man and officer during the war, John-
son received for that service the pay Of
member of Congress.
The post in a resolution yesterday
asked Representative Johnson to state
whether he received compensation as a
member of Congress while absent from
his congressional duties with the mill
tary forces Of the United States in the
World War
Today the Legionnaires answered
their own question, pointing out that
Representative johnson did not actually
receive the pay Of Representative
while he was in the service, but was
reimbursed, after his return from the
war, when Congress made up the differ
ence between his Army pay and the pay
he would have received had he remained
at his post in Congress
Referring to the Congressional Rec
ord of February %. 1919, Victory Post
cited the following amendment to the
third deficiency bill of the fiscal year,
1919 passed by the House on that date ::
ITO pay Royal c. johnson for
salary, s7,17123; for clerk hire, 1893 go,
provided that there shall be deducted
from such amounts any money received
(by Representative Johnson) for serv-
ice in the Army during the present
emergency"
The money appropriated and paid
Representative johnson, according to
the records Of the House, covered the
salary Representative johnson would
have received had he not enlisted In
the Army, less the amount he received
as an enlisted man and later as an
officer
Representative johnson is not can
didate for reelection to Congress in
the November election.

MUSIC HEAD SCORES
SECRETARY ADAMS
Attitude on Marine Band Use at
Notification Shows Lack of Sym
pathy, Says Weber.

Secretary of the Navy Adams was
charged with feeling no real sympathy
''for the man who struggles for living"
in a letter yesterday from Joseph N.
Weber, president of the American Fed
Grafton Of Music, in which the musi-
clans protest against the use of the
Marine Band at the Hoover notiflca-
tion ceremonies was voiced.
In his letter to the Secretary, which
marked the renewal of the federation's
antagonism toward use of service bands
at various functions, Mr.. Weber said
that in 100 instances during Secretary
Adams administration the Navy De-
partment had been permitted to fur
nish music free ito the very wealthy,
thus taking from poverty-stricken civil
ian musicians a means Of livelihood
which was theirs by right and which
they greatly needed"
Weber previously had written that
use of the Marine Band at the Hoover
notification ceremonies was "lawleSS.
political, prostituted use at the request
of the Republican National Committee. :"
Secretary Adams replied that the
band was used because 1t was its duty
to play whenever the President was
present, whether or not the occasion
was official"
In his latest letter Weber replied that
Adams had cited no law to uphold his
contention and that this view had been
diSclaimed by Presidents Wilson and
Harding.
