Motor - Cyele' Policeman Leo Mur- ray's nose is blushing with becom- ing modesty today over the leading role it played early today in the cap- ture-after @ thrilling five-mile chase of a suspected rum_car. Policeman Z\ll:lrruy's nose was lead- ing its owner foward the ninth pre- clonet station” for roll call when it sniffed a familiar and diverting aroma in the vicinity of Florida avenue and Trinadad street northe: Policeman Murray's about the same time spied a sugpicious-looking automobile, manned by two colored citizens with suspieious counte.- nances. Murray eased up alongside and began discussing how dry the weather and everything was, when the man at the wheel excused him- self and stepped on the #as. Curious to see what had distracted his audience so suddenly, Officer Mur- ray decided to find out if he had to report late for roill call. It was a devious itinerary -that the speeding automobile had mapped out, but with the aid of his trusty cycle, his sensi- tive- smeller and his unfailing optics, the elusive car as it dashed through alleys, treets and avenues of the northeast and part of the northwest, As he raced out M street northaest, between Second and Third streets, Officer Murray closed his eyes and waited for the crash. For the two occupants had jumped from the fleeing ne in full flight and left it to the v of one of Supt. Lanham's trees. The car wrapped itself around the trunk while one wheel kept on going. Murray was unable to conclude his discussion so abruptly interrupted, as the men kept on going, too. But the surprise of finding that his nose had not failed him back thers on Trini- dad street more than mitigated his disappointment Motor Cycle Policeman Murray forestalled the demerit mark for being late at roll call by appearing at the station house triumphamtly With 17 half-gallon jars of what he is corn whiskey.

The, Moh, melodlous volees of col- ored people are admirably suited to the singing: of the famous ‘“negro spirituals.” . Last night at the First Congregational Church an audience that fllled the auditorium to capacity enjoyed a generous program:of such numbers presented by the Fisk Uni- versity Jubilee Singers. In addition to possessing ‘a fine sense of rhythm, these singers showed artistry in their songs, giving interesting shadings of tonal effects. To the born southerner, brought up on such crooned songs by & “mammy,” there was perhaps 100 much artistr: and too finished enunciation to give the pleasure that the beloved, so- called “darky dlalect” used to give an added charm to the quaint words and melodies. To the audience generally, however, the songs seemed to bring unique pleasure and, to many white- hafred Individuals, memories. James A. Meyers was the first tenor and leader of the group of five, whioh also included his wife, Horatlo O'Bannon, Ludie D. Collins‘and Carl J. Barbour. In addition to leading the songs, James Meyers amused con- siderably with big inimitable manner- Isms in” reading “Liza,” “When the Colored Boys Went to War” and “When Malindy Sings” written by Paul.Laurence Dunbar. He also gave a short talk during the intermission. Ludie Collins sang two solos between concert numbers. They were de Koven's “Love’s Trinity” and “Pass- ing By,” by Purcell. Of the spirituals, perhaps the most natural .and. characteristically sung were “Inchin’ Along,” “I Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray,” "Steal Away to Jesus” and “Up- in the Middle of the AIr.” More ‘ambitious sumbers were speclal transcriptions of “Lullaby,’ “My O1a Kéntucky Home," “Deep River,” “Go Déwn, Moses,” “Twelfth Chapter of Ecclesiastes” and “Swing Low, Sweét: Charfot.” | Special Dispatch to The Star.
