Amazed senators heard of a pool operation in which John J. Raskob and others made 55,000,000 in seven dayss; that this pool paid $92,000 to non-participants and that the only man who can explain it sailed for Europe last night; and how a “free lance trader” with three associates made more than $1,000,000 in five weeks without putting up a cent. The investigating committee also uncovered the first of the much publicized “bear raids,” re ports of which inspired it to start the inquiry into the market opera tions more than a month ago.

Gets Money For Museum Building SEATTLE, May 19.—(AP)—The greater part of the estate of Mrs. | Caroline Burke, widow of Seattle’s “greatest citizen,” which may run considerably above $1,000,000, is left to the University of Washing ton for an historical museum. The museum is “for such use as may tend to advance international harmony among peoples of the Pa cific shores,” said the will, filed for probate here today. 1 Smith Explains Jazz Music; Slim Crowd Hears Lecture There seems to be a depression. “Jazz, the Music of Today,” enter tainingly presented by S. Stephen son Smith, and illustrated by Jo sephine Rice, Abbie Green, and Sally Addleman, drew a slim crowd, at 10 cents per head. The tennis team will look like a bunch of hitch-hikers if the re turns from the lecture are their only finances on the Seattle trip. As to the lecture itself, the basic ideas were more firmly developed than when given in a similar lec ture last year. Swift flashes of insight into the purpose and sig nificance of jazz, info its nature as folk music, of its seriously com ic content were offered by the lec turer. Slanting shafts of wit il luminated topics down side-alleys. “Serious, sentimental jazz fails of its purpose,” Smith said. Croon ing is dying of undernourishment, because it can't digest jazz. The loose structure is suitable for com ic art, and allows improvisation which tends to ally it with folk art. Abbie Green’s performance of “The Man I Love” proved it. Monotony of the basic rhythm | is played off against the staggered rhythm in the treble. It is the 1 clash of these two, always at va riance, which awakens the impulse ; of bodily movement to harmonize the differences. Jazz makes us want to dance. In addition to this rhythmic pat tern and chaos is the more inti mate, more personal note of the blues song. Not only is the verse pattern structurally different, and the length of the pattern changed, but there is a blend of the serious and comic. Blues are a sardonic laughter at tragedy and misfor tune, conveyed through the addi tion of blurred, distorted tone qual ities to the chaotic melodic pat tern. Which means simply that the singer slides around, distorts sounds, wavers between tones, pursues and drags against the set rhythm of the instrumental ac companiment. itself staggered and conflicting. Sally Addleman illus trated the point with a moanfui, grinning “St. Louis Blues.” Jo Rice was the major interest with concert jazz illustrations.

At irregular intervals a hammer, light globe, and other bits of prop erty came flying from unknown recesses of the ceiling. Below, a “prop boy," buried in a cloud of dust, vigorously gave the carpet a last-minute brushing. Smartly dressed women in gay spring for mals wandered in and out. Suave moustaches were being carefully groomed. Suddenly the director barked his orders. The stage cleared and tne curtains rolled back on the final rehearsal of “Lady Windermere’s Fan,” Oscar Wilde’s gay comedy of English drawing room society to be presented tonight in Guild theatre. Making the best of Wilde’s sal lies of wit, members of the cast snapped through their parts in a manner that should prove delight-' ful to tonight's play-goers. Three entirely different settings in the modern expressionistic de sign will form a fitting back ground for the lords and ladies who people this drama of English so ciety. Don Confrey was responsi ble for designing the stage. Modern touches have been ap plied throughout Wilde's most pop ular comedy to bring it up to date. It was first presented in 1892. Seventeen members of the tech nique of acting class are to have parts in the play, directed by George Andreini. The title role of Lady Windermere is played by Gretchen Wintermeier. Ethan New man is her husband and Leonard Dart, her lover Lord Darlington. The part of Mrs. Erlynne, who causes the complications in the play, is taken by Elizabeth Scruggs. Tonight is the only presentation scheduled for the play. The cur tain will rise at 8:15. All seats are reserved for 35 cents. Tickets may be obtained any time today by calling the box office of Guild theatre.

Charley Finds A New Crime Wave Out in the Open Phony Finance Senate investigations make us wonder whether the Wall street boys are public patriots or predatory plunderers. Five million bucks was the pickings one pool made in a single week. All they had to do ,vas club their cash and sandbag the country at large. Talk about swindling widows and or phans. Playing the market is like rying to beat a crqoked roulette wheel. Even in the dull year of 1930 the boys on the inside gar lered three-quarters of a billion. Told us to “buy ’em and put ’em away,” and like damn fools we did. Say what you will about the sanctity of the stock exchange, but when a bunch of big shots at the top can legally loot the savings of the whole nation— On Guard! Indignantly, WEB FOOT CHARLEY.

The opinion is current that no action will be taken Monday on the question of deferred pledging 01 the use of automobiles of students on the campus.
