tVhat to lto!
Honolulu. T. H. Jan. 11.—(By A.
P>—The case of Ira Colver Sparks,
late of Peru. lr,d.. San Francisco
and points east, who shipped him
self to Honolulu in a box labeled
■'Freight,” is proving a puzzler to
the authorities.
Ira arrived on a Japanese
steamer from San Francisco and
might have succeeded in his stow
away scheme had not the loneliness
and confinement told on his nerves.
He lived in the box of 31 cubic feet
dimensions for five days, barely
able to move and existing on tinned
food and water. He had shipped
the box as "freight,” obtained a
bill of lading and believed he could
dig himself out undetected when he
reached this port. The steamship
, officials turned him over to a hos
pital. Then, as soon as his
cramped joints began to operate, he
was transferred to jail.
Now the authorities do not know
what to do with him. He is not
classable as an immigrant because
he has $15 and carpenter's tools.
He could not be oalled a passenger
on the steamer because he came as
■■freight.” The authorities hesi
taje to 6end him back to San Fran
cisco because the customs duties
are unpaid. The question is
"what to do?"

Farmers l nion
to Deal in Grain
^ ill Operate un Omaha Ex
change—Pooling Plan
Approved.
l
relegates of the Farmers’ Educa
tional and Co-operative union, at the
closing session of their convention at
Hotel Castle, yesterday, approved a
proposition to obtain a seat on the
Omaha Grain exchange and operate
through the National Co-operative
company.
The meeting also endorsed the
pooling plan of wheat marketing as
presented by C. A. Mangum, former
Omahan, which shortens the route
from the farm to the mill or to the
export buyer and also controls the
flow of grain in market.
At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Farmers’ Union State exchange at
Hotel Castle Manager C. Mc
Carthy reported total sales in
1922 at $1,650,000, as against $1,250,
000 in 1921. He explained that the
decrease in receipts reflected a gen
eral decrease in prices, and also in
ability of farmers to buy as much as
during the previous year.
He reported that during the last
quarter of 1922 the per cent of op
erating expense was 9.76, as against
22 for the corresponding period of
1921.
The exchange, with headquarters at
Eleventh end Jones streets, has a paid
up capital of $700,000. The last in
ventory showed $278,000 as value of
goods in stock.
"The exchange is being operated at
a profit," said Manager McCarthy.

Harvard Ban on
Nejrro Explained
"Cannot Compel Men of Dif
ferent Rare- to Lite in
Freshman HalD.”
New York. Jar . 11.—A request of
Roscoe Conklir -• Bri n, a ncgr*. giad
uate of Harvard ttnivsrsrftl, that a
ro»*m l>e reser ved in the freshman I
halls at Harvard for his son lias been
refused bv President A. Lawrence
Lowell, a letter published in the New
York World disclosed.
Replying to Mr. Bruce, President
Lowell wrote:
“I am sorry to hare to tell you that
in the freshman halls where residence
:s compulsory, we have felt from the
l-eginning the necessity of not includ
ing colored men. To the other dormi
tories and dining rooms they are ad
mitted freely, but in the freshman
halls. I am sure you will understand
w hy. from the beginning, we have not
thought it possible to compel men of
different races to reside together."
Bruce, v ho lives at Kendall, W.
Ya., is the son of Blanch Kelso ;
Bruce, former registrar of the United I
Slates Treasury. He was a member ,
of the class of 1902, won membership |
in Phi Bela Kappa and was chosen j
class orator. The son is preparing to j
enter Harvard at Phillips Exeter i
academy.
According to the new spaper, a meet- |
ir.g of several of the Harvard grad
uates who signed a memorial to Presi
dent Lowell last June opposing what
was asserted to be a breaking of the
Harvard tradition as regard} treat
ment of negro students, was held here
yesterday and was attended by Presi
dent Lowell.
Among the signers of the memorial,
acuerdmg to the paper, was Moor
field Storey of Boston, president of
the National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People. A let
ter written to President Lowell by
Bruce says:
"The polhw of compulsory residence
in the freshman halls is costly indeed,
if it is the thing that constrains Har
vard to enter open-eyed and brusque
upon a policy of racial discrimination.
Not race, hut culture. 1 had supposed,
is the basis of sound nationality. Have
the Germans taught us nothing? If
America is the melting p.ot. education
is the sacred fire, and Harvard has
rendered herself through the centuries
of high endeavor the nation Is uni
versity."
