RADIO

Chicago, Nov. % (ANP)-On his
return to Chicago from New York
City where he took part IN an NBC
coast-to-coast broadcast for Gener-
al Motors, Clarence Muse stage
and screen star and composer of
popular songs, was highly praised
by local radio fans for the excel

national network and for his deve.
lopment Of the unique tableax idea
which gave his songs a colorfu.
and picturesque background. Muse
was co-starred on the program
with Irving S. Cobb, noted humor-
ist and writer.
Asked how he conceived the idea
Of this new and delightful type OF
song presentation, the new NBC
star on the Oldsmobile program de-
clared: "Songs are the blossoms OF
ideas. Follow that song to It's birth

vironment and setting and the rea-
son for It's being, and you have a
iewel-a symphonic picture"
Presents His Own Composition
A feature of the NBC broadcast
was Muses. presentation of his own
composition, the ever popular
"When It's Sleepy Time Down
South" which bids fair to replace

souhlands. With this song Muse
demonstrated how, in offering a
number, you can give to the public
not only the blossom but the entire
fragrant fiower-stem, leaves and
all.
The tableax started in recitative
manner. There was night in all its
sublime perfection-a sweet south
ern night. The crickets were chirp-
ing in the underbrush, a night owl
hooted occasionally, the whipper-
Wills call sound in the distance.
Dark shadows were cast as the col
ored folk were seen coming through
the cotton fields and off the nearby
tobacco plantations, down the river
bypaths to the common meeting
place.
There was a party in progress
music and warm, happy laughter in
which the entire Oldsmobile's
"Shiloh Choir" participated, bab!ing
gayly of this and that. There wa

who came south on the wave of
enthusiasm for humanity fol-
lowing the Civil War. When he
heard the call in 1888 to go to
Atlanta as founder Of the Gam
mon Theological Seminary,
Presidents Ware of Atlanta,
Tucker of Shaw, Cravath of
Fisk, Howard of Howard, Rey-
nolds of Lincoln, Platoon of Bid
die and Armstrong of Hamp-
ton had already been working
in the missionary field for a de
cada and a half, and had found
ed the principal Negro colleges
and universities for the higher
education Of the Negro race.
When Thirkield entered the
missionary arena in 1888 the
wave of enthusiasm had reached
its crest and was perhaps be
ginning toreeede.
An Iowa farmer and mer-
chant donateda quarter of a
million dollars to the Methodist
Episcopal Church to found at
Atlanta an institution for the
education of Negro ministers
which was to bear the name of
the donor and be known as the
Cannon Theological Seminary.
Rev. Thirkield, then a young
man bubbling with enthusiasm
and missionary zeal, was put
in charge of this educational
and religious enterprise. He put
into the work the fullest meas
ure of enthusiasm, conservation
and devotion Of which his ar
dent nature was capable. He
gathered around him men Of
cognate spirit, c%onseerated to
%
tn euplift and reclamation Of
the Negro race through an edu-
Gated Christian ministry. Can
didates for the ministry under
the persuasion of President
Thirkield, floeked to this new
institution. Cannon Theologi-
cal Seminary was then, and still
is. the only we'll endowed insti-
tuition for the preparation OF
Negro ministry. The young men
who were brought into close
contact with DR.. Thirkield s
highly surcharged personality
quickly caught a full measure
o fhis enthusiasm and spirit. In
a few years Cannon THEOLOGY
cal Seminary turned out per
hans the most remarkable list
of Negro ministers to be found
/ many of our denominations.
DR.. w. NJ. b. Mason Of the
Freedmans Aid Society, DR..
Pzavious O'Connor, dean of the
Morgan college, DR.. c. NJ. Gran
Olson, the most eloquent Of
them all, whose untimely drop
ping out was a tragic calamity,
DIR. Ernest Lyon, eX-minister to
Liberia, and Bishop Robert e.
Jones are but samples of DR..
Thirkilds early labors. Six blSh-
ops and several Methodist de
nominations are attributable to
hhis influence and power as an
educator and inspirer of men.
When Cannon had reached
it's zenith, DR.. Thirkield became
secretary of the Freedmans
Aid Society in charge of the
educational work of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church among
Negroes throughout the coun-
try. After serving efficiently in
this capacity for a number of
years he accepted a call to be
come President Of Howard Uni
versity, the premier institution
for the higher education Of the
Negro, located at the national
capitol.

newness OF life. | was dean of
the college throughout his adj
miniStration, and can speak
with authority of the intensity
ant success which was brought
tration. Up to that time, the col
of his devotion and the abund-
] to Howard under his admins
j lege was based on the admis-
sion requirement Of Latin,
Greek and mathematics after
the traditional plan of the old
New England academy. He put
the admissionbasis to the mod
ern high school curriculum up
on which the subsequent growth
and expansion of the college
has since been based.
I'm 1879 Congress appropriate
ed $4,000 for maintenance and
instruction Of Howard Univer-
sity, This initial appropriation
has been increased year by year
until now il has reached over a
million dollars. But until the
coming of DR.. Thirkield. the
government never had been
known to contribute a building
to a private institution of any
kind, type or character. With
unheard of audacity, DR.. Think
ield asked congress to appro-
)riate 800, 900 for a new science
hall. AT the time | conferred
with DR.. Booker T. Washington
who was the worlds greatest
expert on contributions for the
cause Of Negro education, he
was of the opinion that such "A
proposition was utterly impos-
sible as it was contrary to the
history and policy of the fed
eral government to contribute
buildings to private institu-
tions. But DR.. Thirkield accom-
plished the impossible. Thirk-
ield Science Hall, which adorns
the campus of the university, is
a living monument to his aud
acity. This building might well
be called .'Thirkields Miracle
lie also secured from the gov
eminent and engineering build
ing and a modern heating plant.
Under the last two admins
trations the federal government
has placed on the Howard cam
pus buildings to the amount of
three or four million dollars.
But all Of these are based upon
the foundation which DR.. Thir-
kield laid.
An account of President Thir-
kield's administration Of How
ard would not be complete with
out mentioning the fact that on
the fortieth anniversary of this
institution. he brought to the
platform perhaps the greatest
aggregations Of celebrities that
has ever appeared at once on
the rostrum of any institution
in America, including President
Theodore Roosevelt, Ambassa-
dor James Bryce, the author Of
the American Commonwealth.
Andrew Carnegie, the world ia
nous philanthropist, DR.. vii.
liam T. Harris, the philosophic
Commissioner of Education,
the Hon. James A. Garfield, See
rotary of the Interior, and son
of President Garfield.
DR.. Thirkield's devotion to
the high standardof education
may be judged from the fact
that he brought tothe institu-
ton such men as DIR. E. e. Al
just, who gained has world
recognition in the field of bio
logical research, and DR.. Alain

Rhodes scholar.

SECURITIES ACT
ATTACKED IN SUIT
Broker Asks Injunction
Against Loss of Use OF
Mails.

An attack on the constitutionality
Of registration provisions OF tne
securities and exchange act OF 1884
was begun in District Supreme Court
late Yesterday by ]. Edward Jones,
New York City Oil royalties broker,
who was represented by James M.
Beck. Liberty League lawyer.
Stating he has not registered IN
conformity with Securities and Ex-
change Commission order, Jones told
the court Postmaster General Farley
was about to deny him use OF the
mails as penalty.
Injunction Asked.
He asked an injunction against the
commission, Farley, and Attorney
General Cummings, to prevent appli-
sation Of penalties against him because
of his refusal to obey the commissions
order which required registration Of
all dealers in securities by last Au-
gust l.
Justice Jennings Bailey ordered the
defendants to show cause by January
8 why a temporary injunction should
not be issued.
Registration, Jones declared. would
s'unlawfully limit, restrict, and deter
him in the conduct Of his business.
Reasons Outlined.
Seven reasons were advanced against
the constitutionality of the acts
registration provisions, contained IN
Section IS.
It was contended the section was an
unlawful delegation of legislative au-
thority: that Congress failed to pre-
scribe proper standards to guide the
commission; that it interfered with
his freedom of contract, and was
arbitrary and unreasonable ana an
abuse of legislative power.
