Roland Hayes In
Town Hall

New York, Oct. 81 (By Carl Di-
ton for ANP)-Undaunted by the
usual toll taken by singing years,
Roland Hayes came again to Town
Hall Last week in a program of the
same matchless beauty of yore;
Bach, Lott, Schubert, Krein, Slo
nimsky, Critics, and the usual
number of encores.
The singers vocal endurance is,
of course, on the wane. But the
same beauty of tore and finished
style are there, qualities in them
selves more than a lesson to aspir-
ing student of the vocal are.
There were interesting innova-
tions this time, too. Mr.. Hayes of
fered a number in Hebrew and the
spiritual was not left as usual to
conclude the interpretations. Intsead
Mr.. Hayes closed a very rhythm

Martyr Is Released

New York, Oct. 21-Robert Till
man, former member of the oath
Infantry who was sentenced to
Leaveworth prison as a result of
the Houston riot of 1917 has been
released from prison. The Adjutant
Generals office of the War De
partment advised the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of

that the unexecuted portion of
Tillman's sentence had been remit
ted and he is a free man.
The NAACP is in the final chap
ter of it's long campaign for the
release of the famed Houston mar
tyrs. Only one man still remains in
Leavenworth, Stewart w. Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips would have been re
leased years ago, but he escaped
from Leavenworth and had five
years of freedom. He was arrested
and returned to the prison and ma
turally is having a harder time Sc
curing a parole than he would have
had he not escape. The NAAC
P is continuing its efforts in Phil

that the War Department will see
fit to release him before long.

As soon as he receives an affiv-
dat from 7. n. Metcalfe, athletic
director of the University of Chi

he would prepare his recommended
ton for presentation to the con

Stagg field in the 100 meter event
of the national collegiate track and
field meet. The Ohio State Star
Immediately claimed a worlds re-
cord, but AAU committee got out
its tapeline and decided the record
couldn't be allowed as the course
was three-fifths of an inch short.
There was a terrific protest
Harry Snyder, Owens coach at
Ohio State, who contended this
slight error would have made alb
solutely no difference in the time.
1t was also shown hat Chicago
Uni. engineers measured the course
prior to the record run and it was
exactly 100 meters in length.
Technicians declared the difference
in temperature on succeeding days
may have caused the steel measur-
ing tape to expand, thus accounting
