DEMAND RECALL OF SHERIFF Governor of Oklahoma Petitioned to Remove Officials Who Were Evi dently in Collusion With Moh Who Lynched Prisoners. (By A ssociated Negro Press.) KLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Sept. 16. —Spurred to action by the crim inal negligence of the sheriff of Okla homa County, a delegation of Negroes called on Governor Robertson and de manded that he oust Sheriff Johnson from office. The spokesmen for the committee were: Nr. A. Baxter Whitby and Editor Roscoe Dunjee. Damaging evidence submitted to the governor alleging to show connivance of the officers in the crime. The gov ernor was visibly impressed and stat ed that he was willing to break the state treasury in an attempt to bring the criminals to justice. Those in the delegation, together with the speakers, were: W. T. Tucker, Dr. W. E. Fos ter, Rev. E. W. Berry, Attorney Henry Hawkins, W. A. Hill, J. M. Anderson, Dr. S. C. Snelson, Prof. S. R. Young blood. Governor Robertson and Adjutant General Barrett held a private confer ence with Editor Dunjee in the office of the Black Dispatch The governor expressed himself as willing to go to the bottom of the affair. Adjutant General Barrett stated that he held a machine gun company in readiness to act for the state in the event of any further disorders. In his letter to the attorney general asking that he immediately investi gate the reprehensible conduct of the sheriff, Governor Robertson said in part: “You cannot move too quickly; all persons engaged in the two lynch ings are guilty of murder. It is an easy matter to ascertain who the guilty parties are.” The governor to the delegation of colored men and to the attorney general stated that he be lieved that the sheriff and the jailor were in collusion with the mob. He further stated that if he had the pow , er, he felt warranted in removing them without the investigation of the attorney general. MUSIC AND MUSICIANS (By (da re net- Desdnnes.) TECHNIC Some Hints to the Student At the bottom of all technic lies the scale, and scale practice is the ladder by means of which all must climb to higher proficiency. Scales in single tones and inter vals, thirds, sixths, octaves, tenths, I ^ Clarence Desdunes with the incidental changes of posi tion, are the foundation of technic. They should be practiced slowly, al ways with the development of tone in mind and not too long a time at any one session. Better a good tone, even though a hundred mistakes be made in producing it, than a tone that is poor, thin and without quality. I find the F. Davied Book Second excellent for muscular development in scale work for imparting the great strength which is necessary’ for the fingers to have. To secure an absolute legato tone, a true singing tone on the violin, one should play scales with a perfectly well sustained and steady bow in whole notes, slowly and mezzo forte,; taking care that each note is clearj and pure and that its volume does not vary during the stroke. The quality: of tone must be equalized and each whole note should be “sung” with a single bowing. The change from up bow to down-bow should be made without a break, exclusively through skillful manipulation of the wrist. To! accomplish this unbroken change ofi bow, one should cultivate a loose! wrist and do special work at the ex- i treme ends of the bow. The Vibrato is a great tone beauti fier. Too rapid or too slow a vibrato defeats the effect desired, there is a happy medium of tempo, rather faster than slower, which gives the best results. A slow and moderately rapid vibrato from the wrist is the best practice and the underlying idea ■while working must be tone and not finger work. Carl Flesch has some interesting theories about vibration which are worth investigation. Staccoto is one of the less impor tant branches of book technic. There is a knack in doing it and it is purely pyrotechnical. Staccoto passages in quantity are only to be found in solos of the virtuoso type. One never meets with extended staceoto pass- j ages in dance music. Spiccato is aj very different matter from staceoto; j I use the upper third of the bow, and! thus get most satisfactory results, in ! no matter what tempo. This ques tion as to what portion of the bow to I I use for spiccato each violinist must! | decide for himself; however, through j experiment, I have tried both ways and find that by using the upper j third of the bow I secure better and quicker results. Students while prac-1 tiring this bowing should take care! that the wrist and not the arm is' used. Hubay has written some excellent studies for this form of “springing how.” “The trill” when it rolls quickly and evenly is a trill indeed. It should be practiced very slowly at first, later with increasing rapidity and al ways with a firm pressure of the fingers. It is a very beautiful em bellishment and one much used. Dou ble notes never seemed hard to me, but harmonics are not as easily ac quired as some of the other violin ef fects. I advise pressing down the j first finger on' the strings inordi nately, especially in the higher posi- j tions, when playing artificial han i monies. The higher the fingers as-1 rend on the strings the more firmly j they should he pressed. The majority of students have trouble with their j harmonics because they do not prac tice them in this way. Of course the | quality of harmonics produced varies with the quality of the strings that! produce them. First-class strings art : an absolute necessity for the produc tion of pure harmonics, yet in the case of the player, he himself is held re sponsible and not his strings. Next week. The Fundamentals for Good Teaching. TI SKF.KGEAN’S VOICE MAY STILL BE HEARD _ / I (By Asoeiated Negro Press.) Chicago, Sept. 16.—The voice of j Booker T. Washington is to be heard | again through the courtesy of his j younger son, E. David Washington. About eight years ago, Dr. Wash ington, at the request of an official of the Columbia Graphaphone Com pany, had a record made of his famous Atlanta speech, the speech which brought him into world-wide fame. Only one record was made for Dr. Washington, and since his death it has been in possession of his younger son, David. Young Washington treas ured it more than any other posses sion, because it was his father’s voice, j After repeated persuasion, he has con sented to have additional records of: the speech made and distribute them ] among the friends of his father.
