REFUSESTOSING NATIONAL ANTHEN Gl Pk Community Concerts - Discontinued-Leader Explains Aug. 24.—Because Harry Barnhart, community singing leader, has refused to begin the community song and band concerts at the Mall in Central Park with *“The Star Spangled Banner,” saying the anthem leads to ‘‘more bloodshed and more wooden crosses’” the con- certs have been canceled by Francis D. Gallatin, park commissioner. This action follows a disturbance at the Thursday concert last week when a group demanded that Mr. Barnhart begin the concert with the national anthem. Thei: persons told the concert leader thet they would report the matter to the mayor and Police Com- missiconer Lnright if he failed to be- gin the concerts as requested. On Wecnesday Mr. Barnhart received a copy of a ietter addressed to Police Captain licrney of the Arsenal sta- tion from John J. Ryan, secretary to the park commissioner, which said that Mr. Barnhart must precede the concerts with Francis Scott Key's song. Mr, Barnhart immediately wrote to the commissioner, ‘reserving the right” to play the anthem when he deemed the occasion “fitting and proper.” He said: “During the late war, in which one of my sons served over seas, [ led sings in the army camps. and in the past I have conducted ‘The Star Spangicd Banner' hundreds of times when wor and fighting werc New York, " “n the program. When sung today It necessarily casts a gloom over those who have experienced the death dealing tcuch of war in the past, and in othert stimulates the (ualities of national hatred embodied in. the text which we are trying to forget and rise above, that we may £0 on as a peopl) to better and holier tnings. “My purpose in leading the people in song is to overcome worry, fear, misunderstanding and hatreds, and 1 believe that unless these hatreds are overcome by joy and brotherhood the world is due for more bloodshed and more wooden crosses. “The small organized group of peo- ple who came out in the park las Thursday night to compel me to use Key's song had a spirit in their minds entirely foreign to the spirit and ideals of my work."” Commissioner Gallatin said yester- day in explaining his position: “There is a long established rule in the Park department that all park concerts must start with ‘The Star Spangled Banner, e community sings con- ducted by Mr. Barnhardt are park concerts, they are not a personal ven- ture of the leader. So when a ques- tion was raised about starting the concerts with ‘“The Star Spangled Ban- ner’ Mr. Barnhart was ordered to do s0. When he refused I notified him by telephone this morning that the concerts were discontinued. “I don't see why any man should refuse to play ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ [ understand that it has never been accepted officially by con- gress as the national anthem, but it has been accepted by the army and navy and the people. I hardly think it is either for me or for Mr. Barn- hart to reverse the general opinion in the matter. “As for Mr., Barnhart's remark that the anthem ‘stimulates the qualities of national hatred embodied in the text,’ T believe so very few people know the words that not many are affected.” Premier Kato of Japan dies at 62, Sloux Falls, 8.

Laddie Boy Installed in Newtonville - Domicile Newtonville, Aug. 24.—After a trip from Washington which included a call at Plymouth that was not on his original schedule, Laddie Boy, the airedale dog formerly President Har- ding's personal pet, was installed last night in his new home with Mrs, Harry 1. Barker here. Mrs, Harding presented Laddie Boy to Mr. Barker in recognition of the latter's work on the White House Secret Service corps. The dog was brought from Wash- ington by Russell Barker, son of the Secret Service man. Young Barker, who is a member of a camping party at Plymouth, took his charge to Cape Cod to exhibit to his friends. Mean- time a small army of photographers cooled their heels here. At last Lad- die Boy was brought home, where his picture was taken with all the news- boys of the town. Other pictures were taken for the committee of the Roose- velt Newsboys' association, which is raising a fund of pennies from news- boys throughout the country, these to be melted down and cast into a statue of Laddie Boy to be presented to Mrs. Harding. 'WINSTED SHIVERS. Winsted, Aug. 24.—There were more shivers in the atmosphere last night than the night before as the mercury got lower here and about everywhere else in the Litchfield hills.

Amply Remunerated for Serv- ioes—I'aces Charge of Fraud. Philadelphia, Aug. 24, — Max W! Friedell of Marion, Ind,, received an income of approximately $100,00 as president of the Black Panther Oil and Refining Company, although it was not ‘understood he had a stated salary, St, Clair Walgh, an income tax oxpert, testified at the trial of the for- mer officlal and two others charged with fraudulent conversion of more than $1,250,000 of stockholders funds. Negotiations were initiated by the company for the control of the Serv- ice Oil and Refinipg company of In- diana, Herbert Asher, a New York at- torney, testified. Asher said he went to Indiana and interviewed oil men there, but found ‘the volume of oil being purchased amounted to less than 70 barrels a day. Counsel for the stockholders charged I°riedell rep- resented the output at 2,000 barrels a ‘day. In Macch, 1921, arles W. Galey, | a vice-president and dircctor of the company, testified, he was clected a director of the company, but ex- plained to Mr. Friedell that “I did not believe I was fit to be a director as I knew nothing about oil business.” “Mr. Friedell said,” Galey asserted, ‘That's all right, that's the reason we want you. I'll'teach you all you have to know in the oil business’.” Galey testified Iriedell represented himself as having been connected with the Standard Ofl company for 33 years and pensioned by that organi- zation. Secretary Work Approves Of Coolidge’s Re-election Denver, Colo, Aug. 24.—Hubert Work, secretary of the interior, in a letter written to a political friend here and made public, advocates the nomination of DPresident Coolidge in 1924, and predicts’ the president's election will follow Secretary Work is the first member of the cabinet to announce himself in favor of the president’s nomina- tion as republican standard bearer next year. “Now that the change of adminis- tration of the government has heen effected, thoughtful men are discuss- ing the future,” rcads the sccretary’s letter. “There seems to be no disagree- ment among party leaders here in Washington, nor those who have heen in from outside during the past week, as to the wisdom of closing up our ranks behind the new president as the party candidate. If he will con- sent, the public already appreciates his quality and I am sure his election would follow. “He has inherited the Harding or- ganization and policics, and logically lshould bé supported for the nomina- tion, precisely as his predecessor would have been had he lived. “Perhaps no man in the United States is as well qualified by tem- perament and experience for the du- ties of the presidency, upon short notice, as President Coolidge. He has heen closer to his president than any previous vice president and is as intimately advised of our foreign and domestic relations and the procedure and hopes of President Harding as members of the cabinet, with whom he sat for two years.
