Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

I and a thousand other folks
went to see Father Hines and his
orchestra take over the Coliseum
in St. Paul last week. was curl
GUS to discover what reason this
great concourse of people had to
induce it to meet at this pleasure
resort.
There were some excellent rea-
sons, found Among them, clever
management, judicious advertising,
the lure of a foreign band with
great reputation; a certain hyp-
motto influence engendered by a
crowd and always deeply enjoyed.
It required no special acumen to
locate and evaluate these.
Hines has a remarkably efficient
group of musicians. He was wise
in getting the best available place
to show them off.
The promoters advertised gen
erously. Hines and his men worked
hard, gave a fine and satisfactory
performance. If the Hines entour-
age ever elects to come this way
again, a thousand people stand
ready to welcome it with open
arms.
There were other reasons, of
course. Just as impelling if not
so fiattering. Whatever the value
of the reason, this occasion demon
strated beyond peradventure the
possibility of bringing together a
thousand or more of our Twin City
group. Whether to dance and have
good time or to discuss matters
of more serious moment-It can be
done!
Whatever difficulty is met by the
group or organization which elects
to shoulder this responsibility, the
benefits to be developed thereby
justify the repetition of the coop
erative need-just now!
"To him that hath shall be given,
but to him that hath not shall be
taken even that which he hath"
During the winter, just ended,
a dozen or more of the families in
my immediate neighborhood have
accumulated many loads of ashes.
Last spring young colored work
err moved mine. have neither
seen or heard of him this year.
Several white young men have been
around asking for the job. Some
of them very likely will get this
and other work from our colored
people of the neighborhood who
would rather give this work to
their own men. They refuse, how
ever, to continually send out sos
calls every time they need a work
er whom self interest should teach
to be on the lookout for just such
opportunities. Multiply this neigh
borhood by all of Minneapolis, then
add all of st. Paul. 1t will plainly
appear that many hundreds of
dollars could be picked up by men
with just a little initiative.
That's only the seasonal story
of ashes.
Two thousand families in the
Twin Cities have year round need
for moving and other hauling.
Don't think they don't get it just
because Negro men are not pre-
pared to serve them. Hundreds
and hundreds of dollars are spent

D. C. SCIENTISTS
TO PROBE MALADY
Nephew Of Washington Woman

at Miami. Fla.

Washington scientists will make
chemical examinations to determine
the identify of bafIiing malady
which has caused the death in Miami,
Fla, OF 4-year-old Calvin Hath,
nephew Of Washington woman, and
affected five others, according to an
Associated Press dispatch.
The boys aunt, Mrs. Mary Sue
Bomar, %, of the 200 block of Fifth
street NE, now in Florida, is one of
those less seriously affected by the
malady, which Florida physicians be-
.lieve may be an elusive poison. They
have sent the contents of the boys
stomach and other specimens to
laboratories here.
Mrs. Bomar, according to the dis
patch, Is q sister of the dead boys
mother, Mrs. Ruth Hath, 20, re-
ported seriously ILL The child's father,
Joseph M. Hath, 30. reported in a
critical condition, Is an empioye Of

Mr.. Hath became i'll three weeks
ago and the others, with similar
symptoms. including aching legs, were
stricken later.
Mrs. Bomar, neighbors here said,
had operated a grocery store here
about year, until she left for Florida
about a month ago. Her husband,
John H. Bomar, listed in the city
directory as an engineer, went to
Florida about week ago, intending to
bring Mrs. Bomar home, it was said
here.

The Administrations lending spend
ing attack on the depression showed
signs yesterday of generating demands
from many communities and Congress-
men that still more money for public
works be appropriated at the next
session of Congress.
OF the $3.50, ,0OO, 900 voted recently
for relief and pump printing" p. W..
A. received $750,000, 900 for nom
Federal public works projects. Sec
retary Ickes, the Public Works ad-
ministrator, announced yesterday that
1925, $40, 1872 already had been allotted
for the undertaking of cities and other
non-Federal agencies.
Scores Of additional applications are
awaiting P. w. A. action and more
are pouring in every day. Some we'll
informed persons expressed the opin-
ion that If the applications continued
at the present rate until September
30. the final day for filing them, ap-
proximately 1855 ,000, 900 worth Of ap-
proved projects would be left over
after the present appropriation was
exhausted.
Fresh Demands Expected.
Politicians speculated that the next
Congress would receive demands for
more funds to take care of the COM
munities which would not get all they
wanted under the present program.
Such q development would revive
the dispute that ragged In the last
session between advocates Of economy
and continued Government spending
1t doubtless would call forth argu-
ments on the one hand that more
outlays for public works would mean
ruinous debt, and on the other, that
q sudden stoppage Of public construc-
ton should be avoided lest it bring
on another depression.
The National Resources Committee,
whose function is to study the long
term economic problems on the Ma
ton and to advise the President in
regard to them, may take an interest
in the situation If it develops.
Excess Would Raise Problem.
A committee spokesman said yes
terday he felt it would be incumbent
on the body to give serious thought
to the problem raised by large excess
Of approved public works projects.
The sums asked for projects, If they
continue to run as they have up to
now, will total about s2,360, ,000, 900.
The administrator usually approves
about half Of the projects filed. Thus
the approved projects would require
allotments Of s1,1s0, ,00o, 900.

emergency operations. Refused him
permission to operate in a third case
which he considered Of an emergency
nature. Has declared it will not ad-
init any one to its courtesy staff who
| is not q member of the District

On behalf of the hospital, DR..
Joseph Rogers Young, assistant su-
perintendent, said the two emergency
operations were performed by DR..
Selders while his application for the
courtesy list was pending This was
in line with hospital policy, following
presentation Of his credentials, but
before official extension of the nos
pital courtesy. The third case in
which the hospital refused DR.. Sell
ders the right to operate was con-
sidered by the hospital not to be an
emergency. DR.. Young said, although
DR.. Selders had considered it an
emergency.
Case Raised in Texas.
When DR.. Selders' application for
the courtesy list came before the medi-
cal staff of the hospital, the staff
made an unfavorable recommendation
TO the governing board. which denied
his application. One requirement for
the courtesy list is that physician
qualify for membership in his local
medical society. DR.. Young explained.
To emphasize that Casualty Hos
pital bars no patients for any purpose,
DR.. Young said the hospital has just
been treating a young woman who
belonged to G. H. A. and is an en-
ploye Of the Home Owners Loan Corp
She came to the hospital from an
automobile accident. DR.. Young ex-
planned, but was treated by her family
doctor, not by G. H. A. physician
or surgeon. She left the hospital yes
terday after three weeks of treatment.

the position that if the judges would
confine themselves to 80 days sum-
mer vacation, sit until 1890 O'Clock
on Saturdays and work an hour or
so longer on week days the docket
could be brought up to date without
creating any new judgeships.

In addition $50 advanced cases, in

rs particularly good in view of the fact
that Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue
was assigned to criminal work from
January to the end Of the term, leav-
ing only two judges available for
equity work.
The report for the law courts
showed 697 cases were disposed of,
with 643 pending at adjournment. An
additional 43 cases. not on the printed
calendar, also were cleared. Mr..
O'Connell called attention to the fact
that Justice F. D. Let's also cleared

Other Cases Not Involved.
The figures for the law and equity
courts, of course, did not take into
account cases that have been filed but

Attaches said the court was only
about six months behind in its docket
four years ago, although 1t was 20
months behind seven years ago. The
improvement resulted from the addi-
tion OF three judges in 1891, but the
docket got in arrears again as the

Justices Stevens and Vinson-still are

said. When the appellate court re-
cessed at the end of June there were

ment that had not been heard, ac-
cording to Joseph w. Stewart, clerk.
Mr.. Stewart said the justices expected
