Who, Why, What Police Ask; Mystery Remains Uusolved Who is the young man whose picture appears elsewhere in this paper ? That is what the local police force would like to know. Why ? Because his picture was found In the lavishly furnished apartment of Mary Dugan, exotic chorus girl who is to go on trial next Thursday and Friday in the Guild hall theater. Across the face of this picture was written, in a mascu line hand, “Lovingly, Jimmy." That is all that is known of this man—only that his first name is Jimmy. “My Jimmy, my poor Jimmy," were the phrases being repeated in a monotone by Miss Dugan when officers found her in her apart ment last week, the body of Edgar Rice, her lover, on the floor, ap patently murdered by the raven haired beauty who has appeared in leading roles of many of the out standing musical hits of the past season. Trial Opens Soon Miss Dugan is to go on trial for the murder of Rice at the Guild theater next week and an invita tion has been extended the public, especially University students, to attend the trial, which has possi bilities of gaining as much attention as the recent Hauptmann trial. It has been pointed out that law stu dents should be especially inter ested in attending. This trial of Mary Dugan would have been held in the county courthouse, but al terations being made there have made this impossible. Nobody knows who “Jimmy” is or where he is. All that is known is that he is a very good friend of the accused slayer as it is known that he has carried on steady cor respondence with Miss Dugan, These letters have not been found in the apartment, however. Miss Dugan definitely states that he is not a “boy friend,” but emphatical ly refuses to tell police where or who he is. Jealousy Indicated Clues unearthed since the murder indicate that there may have been some jealousy between Rice and “Jimmy” over the affections of the chorus dancer. Miss Dugan denies this, however. Anyone knowing the where abouts of “Jimmy” has been asked by the chief of police to aid in find ing him as it is thought that he may have valuable information to give to help solve the baffling case. He and Miss Dugan apparently are very close friends, as his photo graph was found hidden behind the mirror of the bureau. It is thought by detectives that is was placed there hastily, possibly after the murder was committed. Campus Brevities Ex-student in New York Law rence E.

Phone 2200 The Famous Five Are Growing Fast EMELIE Enigmatic [ CECILE Good Matured MARIE Madonna ANNETTE Mischief Maker YVONNE Coquette Life Story of Roland Hayes Reads Stranger Than Fiction I By Henriettc llorak Stranger than fiction reads the story of the famed negro singer, Roland Haye3, who rose, virtually “up from slavery” from the cotton fields of Georgia to the very heights of aristocracy in his art The shy young negro boy, who years ago, “made up tunes,” about the rows of corn he was hoeing, the cotton he was picking, the rat tlesnake, coiied and ready to strike, and the fiery evening sun, just goin’ down to the other side of Jordan, is today acclaimed by the world, honored by monarchs of empires the presidents of repub lic, and worshipped by his own race. But fame, wealth, honors, and the homage of the world have not made him a penthouse celebrity. He lives simply, and as he said when interviewed yesterday, “for what I can give to the world, and I what the world can give to me.” Uinirftr ppuitinu j “I came to Eugene a day ahead j of my appearance this year, to j rest, and to enjoy Lhe freshness of your early spring,” Hayes stated, "nowhere else have I seen such beautiful greens. You may well be proud of your Oregon.” I “What do I think of modern mu sic ? I believe it is trying to ex press a new urge, in keeping with the tempo of our present living; probably a very little of it will live on, long after us, but I am con vinced that after this period of groping, America will see a grand period of music. “All our trials of today, our de pression,. our struggles between economic factions, our machiniza tion—all our Roosevelts, Huey Longs, and our Frds, will undoubt edly be expressed in the music of tomorrow,” the famed tenor point ed out, “for does not the artist as similate, and give to the world his impressions— feelings ?” Loves to Sing “Yes, I love to sing the songs of my race,” Hayes answered the questioner. His answer brought a new expression to his face, a new light into his eyes. One could not help but see, in those clear, dark ness which seemed to say--“That is for my people.” And behind the sadness, one saw years of suffer ing and a panorama of cruelty; the beating of the drums, in the wilds of Africa, when the white man came and loaded his ships with the bewildered savages; their enslavery to add to the whits man’s riches, and their ostracism by the white man. "The songs of our race, came from our hearts—from our souls; we were struggling to express something that was the essence of our deepest emotions,” Hayes kind ly explained. “We were poor, ignorant, un trained; these were our crude of ferings—all that we could say, and didn’t know how to say it. We had only feeling, emotion, a yearning to express something that was in the heart.” Thrills Audiences It was Roland Hayes, some years ago, who in his delivery of negro spirituals opened a new field to col ored vocalists. There was no nov elty in the songs, because recital artists were using them constantly, but in the extraordinary combina tion of high art, with that peculiar poignancy of emotion which be longs characteristically to the ne gro's religious life, Hayes thrilled his audiences, and it was indeed, "My Lord, What a Mornin’ ” when he began singing them. “Do I enjoy any recreational kled at that, and with a laugh he said: “you should see me in my high boots, and hiking clothes— trying to pick berries in Georgia. You see we have so many rattle • snakes, that I have to carry a short gun in one hand, a berry con tainer in the other, but still it is a lot of fun.” ‘‘No, I have never tried to charm a rattler with my singing, but l can’t say the same for the rattlers. Many of them have tried to charr? me with their rattling, and if you ever have that experience, you’ll discover what a hypnotic power those beautiful, poisonous creatures have. Likes Riding “I enjoy horseback riding im mensely, too, and find a great deal of pleasure in gardening at my Boston home. But my chief recrea tion is rest and sleep.” For about the ten thousandth time Hayes sketched the events of his life, but he did it with utter charm and patience. “I heard Enrico Caruso sing—if was merely a phonograph record— but I knew then that I wanted to sing—must sing. I struggled with various jobs to make money, worked in the fields, on plantations, and in an iron foundry in Chattan ooga. I sang in churches, schools, in fact wherever and whenever I had a chance.” ‘‘I went to Oberlin college, where X studied music. To earn my way kinds of odd jobs during my four years there. After college, I still waited on tables!” Hayes found no job waiting for him after college, but still was de termined, now more than ever, to sing.

He strug gled for three years more, all that time winning public recognition. In 1920 he went to London. Critics Acclaim Hayes It was there that he was first commanded to sing before their “royal majesties,” gave his first concert in Wigmore hall, critics first acclaimed him an artist. His first appearance in New York was in 1923, and since then he has been singing constantly and winning his way into human hearts all over the world. Tonight he will sing in McAr thur court, in a program which he boot that I have ever devised,” and after that he will sing his way to Seattle, Berke ley, Los Angeles, and across the country back to his Boston home. “Perhaps I will be back in time to do a little gardening,” was his parting shot to his interviewer. Lewis Gives Summary of Campus Work Projects Nearly Finished On Condon, Music, Art Buildings D. L. Lewis, superintendent of grounds and property on the cam pus, yesterday summarized the projects completed and the new improvements that are under way by the SERA and FSR work. Lewis explained that the SERA work is being done by men of Eu gene who, before this time, have been unemployed. They are now working on the construction of the tunnel, which in the future will be the main unit from the heating plant to the various buildings. Re cently they have completed refin ishing work at Condon and the Music building and are now near ing completion of the same type of work at the Art and Architecture building. Additional SERA wrk will be started soon on construction of a cement walk to replace the wooden one now leading south of the Wo men’s building. The entire fuel shed will also be painted as soon as the weather permits. Students of the University who are employed under the FSR are working on the baseball diamond south of McArthur court or doing odd jobs around the athletic field. This work has not only been a benefit to the University but has also aided the relief of unemploy ment.
