young bulls and young fighters. But
1t was pretty poor affair A good

in his Death in the Afternoon"
But this novillada was more ludi-
crous than anything else. The best
part happened in the third fight
when the matador, who went under
the name Of Eel Spontaneo," was
gored in the pants and ran spon-

Headquarters of the american Colonization Society,"
erected bv the society 18591860 No longer standing

between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets. Later its offices were on the
north side of that thoroughfare be-
tween Third and Fourth streets,
from which place they moved to
their own building across the way.
Like many of Washington's old
buildings. which were constructed in
a very substantial manner, the old
Colonization Building, at the time
it was removed, appeared as strong
as it did when first erected.
From this building the society
moved, about 1918, to the Southern
Building. Henry l.. West was then
the president and Paul Sleman sec
retary-treasurer. The president now
Is John B. Reynolds and Joshua
Evans is secretary-treasurer.
The first step toward planting a
colony in Africa was carried forward
by Samuel J. Mills and the Rev. DR.
Burgess. Money to pay the expense
of the expedition, we are told, was
borrowed, land the loan repaid from
funds raised by Gen. Mercer and the
Rev. William Meade, afterward Bis
hop Meade of Virginia"
A character Of considerable i'm
portance in laying the ground
work for the Colonization So
ciety was DR.. Jesse Torey who came
to Washington in 1915 from his
home in New Lebanon, Columbia
County, N. Y. OF him it is said that
che was a man of tendencies of
whose mind and the impulse of
whose heart made him what would
be known in this day as social re-
former. After his arrival in this
city he rendered the most valuable
service to both the slave and free
Negroes, particularly in being FORE
most in helping to eliminate the
slave bastilles, and through court ac-
ton assisted by Francis Scott Key
as attorney, without compensation,
reclaimed a number Of the latter
class who otherwise would have
been returned to bondage.
As a matter of fact. the record
shows that in 1900. in a population
of 3,210, in the District, only 1913
were free colored, while 20 years
later the free Negroes had increased
here to 1925 in total population
of 1884.
DR.. Torrey also advocated q plan
for colonization and even claimed
he was the originator of the idea,
but this plan dates back many years,
even before it resulted in the forma-
ton of the American Colonization
Society.
The Republic OF Liberia owns a
territory extending about 500 miles
along the west coast Of Africa and
indefinitely in the interior, which
was purchased from the natives. The
society removed from the United
States to Liberia about $4,000 free
Negroes. At first the cost OF trans
porting a person was 500, but this
was later reduced to s25. The flag
of the country is similar to that OF
the United States. In 1862 treaty
was entered into, and proclaimed in
1868, which has proved of much
strategic value between our country
and the little African republic in
both world wars, and of much COM
mercial Importance as well. Liberia S
population is now about 2,50o,000.

Of Liberia, and Hilyard r. Robinson

tains much that Is original and fine.
One speciality of this Is that the
voice often is used as an instru-
ment in the accompanying orches-
trail texture. And the quality Of
the women's voices is such that one
cannot distinguish them easily from
the surrounding flutes and other
reed instruments. One girl, by the
name of Inomac Sumac, is espe-
cially wonderful at this. She Is a
half-breed Indian and a great ar

"The report recounts the events
which seem to render it desirable
that Liberia should become inde-
pendent and comes to the conclu-
sion that the citizens possess suf-
flcient intelligence and virtue to
conduct their own public affairs
with honor and advantage. A con-
stitution, which does them, as the

adopted by the vote of the people
of September last and the new gov
ernment has fairly gone into oper-

to copy the most magnificent form
of government which the world has
ever seen, we may hope that they
will continue to increase in virtue
and intelligence, advance in popula-
ton, wealth and commerce, and re-
main a prosperous, tranquil and
well-governed republic and ulti-
mately give political character to

Nowhere is this shown more clearly
than in the popularity of the So

One good thing about these novil-

Native Indian Music
Captured on Records
We went home after the fourth
showing, and listened to some native
Indian music on records. So far,
much Of the Indian music I have
heard on this trip has been a dis
appointment. While in Chile heard
some Araucanian tunes which had
folklorish quality. ! heard these
partly sin natura" and partly in
some nice orchestral songs by a
Chilean painter-composer, Izman
by name. But they were not as
striking as 1 had hoped, except for
one witch doctors song. Its effect
was more the result of the COM
poser's orchestral background than
Of the original tune. One curious
feature which I had never heard
before was that in nearly every song,
at the end of each phrase, the voices
would add quick little grace note
an octave higher, with a slight
emphasis, rather like our bobwhite
does. 1t was an evident steal from
some birdsong, and quite charming
in its effect.

interest was the report Of the secre-
tary, which was read and which
said, in part:
"Thirty-one years ago the Amer
ican Colonization Society was organ
lzed; IS years ago the first emigrants
landed on Cape Missurado to seek
a home for themselves and their
children; six months ago the citi-
zens of the colony organized the
Republic of Liberia and announced
their independence to the world,

as it were, the first anniversary of

to give up one or two concerts SO as
to be back in time for the final
concert Of the Water Gate season.
I cannot very well accept the idea
that the 10th season of the concerts
I founded there should have to go
by without my taking part in at
least one of them. However, I re-
ceived two wires, one from Panama
and one from Guatemala, asking
for extras" And so does Lima.
Naturally I am happy about all
this, especially about the fact that
in yesterdays rehearsal the presi-
dent of the local musicians union
made nice speech saying how
pleased the orchestra was that an

much pleaSanter than they had

Of the zarzuelas are always q huge
success. 1t is my Arm conviction
that they act as a safety valve for
the thousands who attend them as
regularly as they do the church

sions and improvisations of the
simplest kind, in the style Of the
early 10th century, fComoedia deli
Arte," are another part of the
zarzuelas, and find equal favor with
the unsophisticated audiences.
Of late much of this fervor and
enthusiasm has been transmitted
to concerts as well, and the deep
interest in the music, especially in
the "galerias," is really remarkable.
The slightest noise in the theater is
energetically shushed by these en-
thusiasts, and late coming or early
leaving is simply not tolerated. Nor
do the concerts have popular" pro-
grams. I had been told about this

that our orchestra in the capital

If, as he said, my visit will help in

From my experience in Latin
America, I have come to the con-

welcome, If it is not made in the
formerly all-too-often patronizing
manner. The enthusiasm aroused by
former President Hoover's recent
visit to Chile and the other Latin
American republics where his press"
