Olcott of Or^ gon, who at tonight's session attacked the Ku Klux Klan nearly as bitterly as did Gov. Parker, this afternoon, was momentarily^ absent from the meeting hall of the Governors' Four teenth Annual Conference at the Greenbrier Hotel here. Consequently a very significant silence fell upon the assemMaee afterGov.

HACKLEY, SINGER, DIES IN DETROIT Celebrated Musician Succumbs Home of Sister Noted as Pageant Producer at Madame E. Azalia Hackley, the greatest producer of pageants and recognized as the race's leading teacher of vocalism, died at the home of her sister in Detroit, Mich., on Wednesday, night, December 13, after an illness which extended over a pe riod of six years. Madame Hackley was one of" the .most remarkable women in the public life of our peo ple. For many years her time was devoted to uplift work, her efforts being specially centered in concerts and pageants for the financial bene fit of schools, churches and other classes of institutions vital to the welfare of the race, and there are many thriving enterprises which can trace their present success to her aid. Highly Educated Madame Hackley was born in Mur freesboro, Tenn., and was 54 years of age at the time of her death. She was readed and educated in Detroit, taught in the public schools of that city for a number of 'years -and took a very prominent place iri social and musical circles. Her maiden name was Smith. She married Edward Hackley in Denver, Colo., arid later went to Europe, where she completed her musical education. For several years she made her home iri^Phila delphia, Pa., and later she moved to Chicago, Where she established a studio on Calumet avenue. In her" line as a producer she had no equal. It was coriiiripri for her to, enter a community, assemble 600 or 600 "green" voices, train them in folk songs and choruses in an unbeliev ably short time and present them in pageant along with soloists, duos and larger groups, all selected from among them. Her power over these groups was almost uncanny, and the members of, her "classes" often ranged in age from 3 to 70 years. Her activities covered the entire United States and her name and fame has been a household word all over this country for years. An Author Madame ilackley was the author of several volumes touching on social and musical -matters. Most promi nent among her books was "The Col ored Girl Beautiful," which had a large sale, and her ''Book on Pag- eants,'^containing a complete de scription of her methods. She was a beautiful woman, physically and morally, and was one of the few tal ented individuals in public life who scorned the press agent method of gaining publicity. For years Madame Hackley taught modesty in dressing. Despite the fact that she was abun dantly able to patronize the best modistes she was always plainly though neatly clad, and "was often referred to- as "The Lady in Gray" on account of her predilection for that color in both her private and profes sional costumes. A Composer Madame Hackley was one of the most accomplished pianists of her time, and her compositions were nu merous and of a sort which demon strated to a great extent her sympa thetic temperament. She was a mem ber of the Detroit Musicial Society and of other organizations and was a graduate of the Denver (Colo.) In stitute of Music. .Aside from other relatives she is survived bjr her sis- *r. Mrs. Marietta E. Johnson, 212R Clinton avenue. Detroit. Mich., at whose home and under whose loving "are she spent her last three years. letter from Mrs., Johnson stated *hat "Aznlia was so lovable and sweet her illness: her last words were: am tired I a ingoing to sleep.' She closed her eyes and went to her final rest." I STAND FOR THESE THINGS By E. W. Gilles.

Olein was a farmhand, earning the usual lew wages paid for that work. His army life as corporal, Co. A, 158th Infantry, left him with hernia and pyorrhea. It was evident .that he could not go back to the heavy work of farming. He was, therefore? called into the Fargo suboffice of the United States Veterans' Bureau, C. T. Hoversori, spbdistrict manager, and advised to take training as an electrician. He was placed in training with the Electric Construction Co., Grand Forks, N. D., and after a successful tryout period was given special train ing in auto electrics ^w. He also took a corresponderice course in starting, ignition, and light ing systems, with one of the leading state universities to supplement his practical work with the above firm. Mr, Olein successfully' carried on this }ine of training and was reha bilitated by the Veterans^Bureau on August 1, 1922, whereupon the firm, which was pleased with his work, placed him upon their own payroll at a wage of $25 a week, which is three times his average wage as farmhand. In probably seventy-five per cent of the class of disabled veterans trained in industrial establishments they succeed so well th$t the torn it self employs them and there is no need^for them to seek employment elsewhere.^ Thfs illustrates that the practical thorough training afforded by the Veterans' Bureau, places these trained veterans in a far better eco- i^lfian they"wo'uld have enjoyed if there had been no war. I mploymt SinrfseSteeessful The United States Veterans' "Bu- reau has completed a survey of the employment situation among reha bilitated vocational students of the bureau. "The employment situation among our rehabilitated vocational trainees is very satisfactory,'* Colijhel Charles R. Forbes, Director of the Bureau stated today. "The, establishment of the Employment Service the Vet erans' Bureau is justified by the re sults obtained to date. When it is taken into consideration that approx imately 20,980 men have been reha bilitated, it is surprising to note that only a negligible number of graduate vocational students are unemployed." The employers in business and in dustry have evinced the fine spirit of helpfulness and have shown a practical appreciation of these vet erans' war time service by giving preference to these vocationally trained men. These employers are being rewarded by faithful and loyal service on the part of the'rehabilitat ed trainees and that their services are satisfactory is shown by the fact that only a very small percentage has.failed to meet the retirements of the position. Many of the veterans who have been placed in employment by the Veterans' Bureau have obtained po sitions which from the very, begin ning salaries^ above the average. For instance, in one district, four of the men who were placed in employ ment during the. months* of August nnd September received salaries of $200 per month. Two other men are receiving $250 per month and ten men are receiving $150 per month. /There are :v now approximately 96*800 men in vocational training and as these men complete their training from month to month the Employ ment Service will obtain positions for them. These irieri, on the average, are receiving more than $400,000 a year above their pre-war wages. They have been trained.to overcame their vocational handicaps* imposed on them by their"~disabilities. The train ing-which, they receive is an assur ance to the employers that they will be able to carry.on successfully, in the trade or vocation for which they have been trained.
