FUND PROVIDES TUBERCULINTESTS High School Graduating Class Members Get Benefit of $2,500 Gift. A new attack on the tuberculosis problem of the District will be un- dertaken before the end of the present school term as u result of a donation of $2,500 by the District Tuberculosis Association to pay the cost of med- ical examination of high school grad- uating class members. The donation was made late yes- terdsy to Dr. George C. Ruhland, city health officer, by the Executive Committee of the Tuberculosis Asso- ciation. Details of the program are to be worked out next week. Two Tests Are Planned. As recently announced, Dr. Ruh- land plans to make a series of two tests among high school pupils in both colored and white classes to ascertain who have incipient or defi- nite cases of the disease. The first would be a tuberculin test and cases in which there was a positive reaction, followed by an X-ray examination. The graduating classes are to be selected because those pupils are among the most susceptible to serious attack, or development of glandular tuberculosis into pulmonary cases. The consent of the parents will be obtained before the tests are given. Dr. Ruhland already has arranged for co-operation by officials of the public school system. Indorsers of Gift. The gift of the Tuberculosis Asso- ciation was indorsed by Dr. Luther H. Reichelderfer, Dr. William Charles White, Walter S. Pratt, Williard C. Smith, Mrs. Frank W. Persons, Dr. J. Winthrop Peabody and Dr. Charles Tignor of the Executive Committee of the Tuberculosis Association. The District now is out of funds for tuberculin tests and the new | program could not have been started this year without the donation from | private sources, according to District | officials. | $1,308,020 COMMISSION IN STOCK SALE BARED Syndicate Member Testifies !'ee! Collected on Disposal of Shares Worth $6,000,000. By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y, April 4—A Buf- falo syndicate sold $6,000,000 worth of Houde Engineering Corp. stock in 1928 at a net profit to themselves of $1,308,020.67 without investing a penny, a member of the syndicate | testified in Supreme Court yesterday. | Perry E. Wurst, vice president of | the Manufacturers and Traders Trust | Co. and one of the defendants in a | New York car wheel company stock- | holder’s suit for a share of the profits, gave the testimony. Samuel R. Goetz, Buffalo stock- | holder in the car wheel company, has | brought suit to collect $438,006.89 of the profits for the car wheel stock- holders as a “commission,” claiming the car wheel company bought the stock. The defendants claim the com- pany’s name was used in the pur- chase because Frederick B. Cooley, its president, did not want his own to appear, U. 8. Equipment Used.

Responding to & call sent out re- cently by St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Third and A streets southeast, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of its vested choir of men and boys, more than 200 alumni from surrounding Washington an- swered the roll. Had all attended who at one time were members of this famous organi- zation, according to the rector, Rev. Willilam R. Moody, more than 3,600 men, old and young, might have crowded the nave and transepts of this historic Capital church. They would have poured in from every State in the Union and from a dozen foreign nations. ‘While the present brick edifice was still a low, rambling frame structure on the spot where the parish hall now stands, the choir presented its first service. This was on Sunday, February 22, 1885. Today the group is one of the oldest male choirs in the country, and said to be the oldest among those whose members sing without compensation. According to yellowing copies of the Parish News, even this early choir had an antecedent in post-Civil War days. “Along about 1870,” one fugitive article states. “Mrs. Steele (wife of the rector of the time, Rev. A, P. Steele) was organist and the choir was composed of a quartet all from a single family—Dr. Davis Baker, his wife, son and daughter, Mrs. Clare Baker Smith.” There followed & succession of or- ganists, who were likewise choir lead- ers, until 1880, when Miss Mildred Johnston accepted that position. It was during her long term that the present vested choir was first really organized. In 1885, however, the duties of choirmaster were taken over 8s a separate work by C. N. Wake. Miss Johnston retired as organist on All Saints’ day, 1897. A year before, vested women entered the choir for the first time. In July, 1898, on the estate of James Hall, at Cornfield Harbor Farm, Point Lookout, St. Marys County, Md., through the cffices of Henry P. Blair, prominent Washington lawyer and member of the choir for 46 years, the choir camp—*“Camp De Offeo” (named after De Offeo Brown, choirmaster that year, who died after being in of- fice less than a year)—was estab- lished. This camp, really & boys’ club, has been operative every July since that time. Youth Is Organist. After Brown's death a young man only 19 years of age, Clarence D. Sears, became t. He was suc- ceeded by William B. Trott, who, with only a brief absence, remained in that position until 1908. Mr. Trott had been organist in Cincinnati and Cleve- land and filled the office of organist without compensation until the com- ing of Samuel Wood, present organ- ist and choirmaster. In the Spring of 1908 Wood came from England, where he had studied organ at the Roya! Manchester Col- lege of Music. It was at the instiga- tion of the late Edgar Priest, musical director, choirmaster and organist of the Washington Cathedral and for- mer classmate of Wood, that the lat- ter came to Washington. In the past 27 years, says Wood, the choir has averaged about 30 voices each year, with as many as 60 at times.
