 Khan had to leave Bombay because of health problems.When Alladiya heard of the episode, he demanded that she stop the discipleship and instead go to his younger brother, Hyder Khan. But Mogu hesitated because Ustads of the Agra gharana had much clout. She already had much stress in her personal life. She solicited a promise that Alladiya would teach her himself in the future if his brother Hyder Khan ever failed to do so. Alladiya summoned Hyder Khan from Kolhapur and Mogu's training in the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana commenced under his tutelage in 1926. However, Alladiya Khan's rich and powerful students were pressing him to end it, since they were greatly jealous of Mogu's progress. In 1931, Alladiya felt forced to persuade his brother to stop teaching and leave town, but came clean to the heartbroken Mogu about what had happened which led to him breaking his promise to her.At this stage in her career, Mogu could likely have supported herself as a performer but chose not to. Mogu was not interested in only being a performer but wanted to become a leading exponent. On 10 April 1932, Mogu gave birth her child, Kishori. She continued practicing with determination until one day, Alladiya returned to her. Mogu later received taalim from Ustad Alladiya Khansaheb for a brief period. In 1939, her husband Madhavdas Bhatia died, leaving Mogu with her three school-age children. Accomplished singer and guru
Since 1940, Mogubai started touring across India for performances.She also performed at All India Radio. She came forth as a leading exponent of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana and her riyaz was rigorous. In an attempt to maintain the purity of her music, Mogubai always avoided the thumri and Natya Sangeet. <mask> performed in that era when women singers were not treated with much respect. Her daughter Kishori Amonkar would later recall how Mogubai had to travel to the venue of

Gopalkrishna Bhobe: Kalaatm Gomantak ("Talented Goa")

This was at a time when it was difficult for classical musicians, in however high esteem, to support themselves. The subcontinent's many royal courts had supported the music for centuries, but there was no large middle class and no widespread public appreciation; now the courts were on the remove, and the budding recording industry did not have anything like today's large commercial base.References

title: Murong Ping

texts:
Murong <mask> () was a regent of the Chinese/Xianbei state Former Yan during the reign of <mask> (Emperor You), after the death of the previous, far more capable regent <mask>. He, along with <mask>'s mother Empress Dowager Kezuhun, is often blamed for Former Yan's decline and fall. Early life
Murong <mask> was one of the youngest, if not the youngest, sons of the Jin vassal, the Xianbei chief Murong Hui (), the father of Former Yan's founder <mask>. Although historical records do not give his age, it was probably close in range to <mask>, Murong Huang's heir apparent. (This is corroborated in that his grandnephew <mask>, at one point, referred to him as an uncle rather than a granduncle, perhaps out of confusion in his young age.) It is not known who his mother was. The first reference to him in history was in 339, when he was mentioned as one of Murong Huang's generals (along with another brother, <mask> (, note different tone and character than his nephew who would later inherit the throne), Muyu Gen, and Muyu Ni (慕輿泥)) who conducted a successful raid against Later Zhao's border region.During <mask> Jun's reign
In 348, <mask> Huang died, and was succeeded by his son <mask> Jun, who was then still using the Jin-created title Prince of Yan. In 349, Later Zhao's emperor Shi Hu died, and his state soon fell into internecine wars between his sons and his adoptive grandson Shi Min. <mask> Jun therefore decided to advance south. In Murong Jun's campaigns over the next few years, which saw him seize much of Later Zhao's territory and capture Shi Min (who had by then changed him name to Ran Min, to the family name that his father had before his adoption by Shi Hu) and destroy his short-lived state Ran Wei, <mask> <mask> served as a major general. <mask> <mask> led the army that sieged Ran Wei's capital Yecheng (鄴城, in modern

 Handan, Hebei), after Ran Min's capture, in 352, against Ran Min's wife Empress Dong and son Ran Zhi, and the city fell to him, formally ending Ran Wei. He was put in charge of Yecheng's defenses. In 354, <mask> Jun, who had by now completely broken from Jin and claimed imperial title, put him in charge of military operations in the Luoyang region (although Former Yan would not be able to capture Luoyang at this time) and also created him the Prince of Shangyong.Over the next few years, <mask> <mask> would be involved in leading armies against various former Later Zhao generals who were still trying to maintain independence and vacillating between Former Yan, Former Qin, and Jin. His campaigns were of mixed successes and failures. In 360, <mask> Jun grew seriously ill, and he commissioned his capable brother <mask> Ke as regent for his son <mask> Wei. Murong <mask>, Yang Wu, and Muyu Gen were to serve as Murong Ke's assistants. Murong Jun soon died, and <mask> Wei succeeded him. During Murong Ke's regency
Muyu Gen, a more senior official than <mask> Ke or <mask> <mask>, was unwilling to submit to <mask> Ke, and he falsely told the young emperor and his mother Empress Dowager Kezuhun Murong Ke and <mask> <mask> were planning a rebellion. Empress Dowager Kezuhun believed Muyu, but the young emperor did not and refused to authorize his actions.Murong Ke soon found out and, after consulting with <mask> <mask>, executed Muyu and his clan. <mask> Ke was clearly the regent at this point, but he consulted <mask> <mask> on all major decisions. His regency was considered a successful one, as he governed the empire with efficiency while expanding its borders southward, at Jin's expense. Murong <mask>'s role in this success is unclear. In 361, the magician Ding Jin (丁進), whom <mask> Wei trusted, tried to flatter <mask> Ke by suggesting

 to him to kill Murong <mask>, but <mask> Ke became angry and executed Ding. In 366, both <mask> Ke and <mask> <mask> offered to resign their posts and return all of their authorities to <mask> Wei. <mask> Wei declined.In 367, <mask> Ke grew ill. He tried to persuade <mask> <mask>, <mask> Wei, and <mask> Wei's older brother Murong Zang (慕容臧) the Prince of Le'an that one of his main responsibilities, as the commander of the armies, should be transferred to <mask> Chui the Prince of Wu, his brother, as he saw <mask> Chui as a capable general, but after <mask> Ke died later that year, Murong <mask> declined to do so, and instead gave that post to <mask> Wei's younger brother Murong Chong the Prince of Zhongshan. <mask> <mask> himself assumed the regency and held power in conjunction with Empress Dowager Kezuhun. Regency
<mask> <mask>, while apparently having military abilities, was incompetent and corrupt as a regent. In 368, when four of Former Qin's dukes rebelled against the Former Qin emperor Fu Jiān, they sought help from Former Yan. Many officials, including <mask> Jun's brother <mask> De the Prince of Fanyang, saw this as a perfect opportunity to conquer Former Qin, but <mask> <mask> declined to take any actions against Former Qin, so Former Qin forces crushed the four rebel dukes. In 368 as well, the key official Yue Wan, concerned about the growing corrupt practice by noble families of putting commoners into their fiefs—a practice that would mean that those commoners were only responsible to them, not responsible for paying taxes to the empire, leading to the empire's treasury being so lacking that it was unable to pay its officials—petitioned <mask> Wei for a reform ending the practice.<mask> Wei approved the reform and put Yue in charge of it, and Yue restored over 200,000 people to the tax-paying ranks. The nobles

In 369, the Jin general Huan Wen launched a major attack against Former Yan, defeating every army that Murong <mask> sent against him, including the most major one commanded by <mask> Zang, advancing to the vicinity of Yecheng, by now Former Yan's capital. In panic, <mask> <mask> and <mask> Wei considered fleeing to the old capital Helong (和龍, in modern Jinzhou, Liaoning). <mask> Chui, whose authority had been curtailed by <mask> <mask> previously, offered to make one last try to resist. Meanwhile, <mask> <mask> also sent messengers to Former Qin, requesting assistance—offering to cede to Former Qin the Luoyang region, which <mask> Ke had captured in 365 if Former Qin would assist. <mask> Chui, along with <mask> De, were able to deal Huan a major defeat, and Former Qin forces soon arrived and dealt Huan another defeat.Huan would not be able to launch a major attack against Former Yan again. However, <mask> <mask> and Empress Dowager Kezuhun soon engaged in two damaging decisions. Still resentful of <mask> Chui (whose wife was her sister but whom he did not favor), Empress Dowager Kezuhun denied him and his soldiers rewards and in fact considered killing him, a decision that Murong <mask> concurred in because he was also apprehensive of Murong Chui. <mask> Chui, hearing the news, fled to Former Qin and became a general for Fu Jiān. They also refused to cede the Luoyang region to Former Qin, as previously promised. In anger, late in 369, Fu Jian sent a 60,000-men force, commanded by his prime minister Wang Meng, against Former Yan. In spring 370, Wang first advanced on

 Luoyang and forced its surrender.He then advanced on Hu Pass (壺關, in modern Changzhi, Shanxi), defeating all Former Yan resistance on the way. He then captured Jinyang (晉陽, in modern Taiyuan, Shanxi). <mask> <mask> led a 300,000-men strong force against Wang, but apprehensive of Wang, he stopped at Lu River (潞川, in modern Changzhi as well). Wang soon arrived to prepare to face off against him. Meanwhile, Murong <mask> made the worst display of his corruption at this time—keeping guards at forests and streams, disallowing commoners and even his own soldiers from cutting firewood or fishing unless they paid a usage fee in either money or silk. He soon had a stash of wealth, but completely lost the morale of his soldiers. <mask> Wei, hearing this, sent a messenger to rebuke him and ordering him to distribute the wealth to the soldiers, but the damage was done.In winter 370, the armies engaged, and despite the numerical advantage that Murong <mask> had, Wang crushed him, and <mask> <mask> fled back to Yecheng by himself. <mask> Wei abandoned Yecheng and tried to flee to Helong, but was captured on the way, ending Former Yan. <mask> <mask> fled to Goguryeo, which, however, arrested him and delivered him back to Former Qin. Fu Jiān pardoned him and made him an imperial assistant. In 372, <mask> Chui told Fu Jiān that <mask> <mask> was the cause of Former Yan's destruction and should be killed; instead Fu Jiān effectively exiled <mask> <mask> by making him a governor of a remote commandery. This was the last historical record of him, and it is not known when or how he died. When <mask> Chui restored the regime as Later Yan, <mask> Yi (慕容懿), grandson of Murong <mask>, succeeded his title as Duke of Shangyong.Former Yan regents

Vaucher at the Küchlintheater Basel, and among many others, he appeared in the musical "Spalebärg 77a" by the popular radio show of Margrit Rainer and Ruedi Walter in 1964. Between 1952 and 1975 <mask> also starred in one-man programs in southern Germany and Switzerland, among other things, as member of the Fauteuil ensemble in Basel. His son Roland founded the theater in 1957, where <mask> had his last great appearance in the revue "Offenbach am Spalenberg" in 1976.Along with the Läppli films, <mask> starred in German language films, among others in Füsilier Wipf in 1938 and the Ueli films in the 1940s, but also Wilhelm Tell in 1960 and Die plötzliche Einsamkeit des Konrad Steiner (The Sudden Loneliness of Konrad Steiner) in 1976.

 of cabaret and folk theater, which was so successful that the production had to move into the larger Küchlin Theater. Jaroslav Hašek's The Good Soldier Švejk modeled the figure of the Swiss Army subsidiary soldier Theophil Läppli – militarism mocking, it became <mask>'s trademark. This was followed by the comedy "Demokrat Läppli" (1947) and, with little success, by the musical "Weltenbürger Läppli" (1949).Besides, <mask> played with the Kabaret Kactus number cabaret and directed his Swiss German version of Mary Chase's Harvey starring himself in 1950. In 1958 Eynar Grabowsky organized a tour with the comedy "Millionär Läppli", and in 1969 followed by the popular play "Zivilverteidiger Läppli". <mask> participated in several Swiss films: "HD-Soldat Läppli" (1960) and "Demokrat Läppli" (1961) were filmed for the cinema. Politics
<mask> was part of a Swiss cultural delegation to China in 1954/55 and this led to his being branded a "communist" by Swiss nationalists. He was politically active and was elected to the Nationalrat as a representative of the Landesring der Unabhängigen (LdU) between 1967 and 1975, where he stood for peace, social justice and culture. Personal life
In the early 1930, however, <mask> was not able to live from his income as artist, and therefore he also led his own painter company from 1930 to 1935. From 1932 to 1945 <mask> was married to Adele Schnell in first marriage; from the marriage emerged their son <mask>.In 1947 <mask> married Ninette Rosselat; they had three children. Filmography

<mask> (November 18, 1812 – November 6, 1904) was a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He was also a member of the United States House of Representatives from Florida, following the reconstruction era; the mayor of Memphis, Tennessee; an volunteer officer in the United States Army during the Second Seminole War; a member of the Arkansas Senate; a member of the Florida Senate; and a Circuit Court Judge in Florida. Early life (1812 to 1852)
<mask> was born near Lebanon, Tennessee. He served as captain of mounted volunteers in the Second Seminole War in 1836. <mask> studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1838. He moved to Mississippi County, Arkansas in 1840, where he practiced law. Finley served in the Arkansas Senate in 1841.He moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1842, and continued the practice of law. He served as mayor of Memphis in 1845. He moved to Marianna, Florida in November 1846 and was elected to the Florida Senate in 1850.

After the McVoy fire, Pensacola Mayor <mask> ordered the arrest of Simon, one of McVoy's slaves, for arson. Sierra questioned Simon in the Mayor's office; took Simon's confession to arson of the Maxwell, Derry, and McVoy homes; and ordered Simon arrested. Simon was held in the Pensacola jail from October 1852 until trial in June 1853. Sierra testified at the June trial that during Simon’s interrogation "there was a great crowd just outside the mayor’s office calling for Simon to be hanged.According to Mayor Sierra, if not for the protection he gave Simon, 'the people would have taken [Simon] into their own hands.' The mayor told Simon that if he admitted that he alone had burned Dr. Maxwell’s house, that he would be tried and certainly hung. However, the mayor also told Simon that if he had accomplices, he could turn state’s evidence and his accomplices would be put on trial rather than him." Sierra further testified that when he asked Simon if he set these fires, "Simon replied, 'Send for my master, and I will tell the whole.' Simon’s master, Alex McVoy, arrived at the mayor’s office, and McVoy reiterated to Simon the warnings and promises that the mayor had already made. Simon then stated that he had set fire to Dr. Maxwell’s house, and that he was alone when he did it. Simon told Mayor Sierra and McVoy that he had started the fire at a ground-floor window on the east side of Dr. Maxwell’s house and remained

Commyns contradicted Simon’s purported confession. According to Commyns, the fire did not start at the ground floor of the house as Simon had stated, but rather at the shingles on the roof." Campbell also questioned Chester Knapp, who "contradicted Simon’s purported confession. According to Knapp, the fire had not started on the ground floor, but rather in the attic. Further, Knapp testified that upon seeing the attic in flames, he had tried to break down the front door of the home, and that had the ground floor windows been burning, he would have noticed." Following Campbell's examination of Commyns and Knapp, the State questioned McVoy, "who testified that he was in the mayor’s office when Simon confessed and that Simon was 'laboring under great terror, and that he never saw anyone more terrified.'"Citing American and English common law, Campbell motioned that Finley "exclude Simon’s confession from the jury’s consideration, arguing that Simon’s statements to Mayor Sierra were elicited by undue terror or the hope of reward." Finley denied Campbell’s motion and directed the jury "to determine whether Simon’s confession was voluntary." The jury found Simon guilty. Simon stated at a sentencing hearing that he was not guilty of arson. Finley then ordered Simon executed by hanging on Friday, August 26, 1853, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. by the Sheriff of Escambia

Campbell appealed <mask>'s denial of Campbell's motion to the Supreme Court of Florida. The Court heard oral arguments on July 13 and 14, 1853. On July 25, 1853, with <mask> present, the Court reversed <mask>'s denial of Campbell's motion in a 2 to 1 ruling, and ordered a new trial.The Court based their decision "on the common law doctrine that for a confession to be admissible as evidence, the mind of the accused should at the time of the confession be uninfluenced by fear or hope. With respect to Simon’s confession, <mask> [Albert G.] Semmes noted that there were 'few cases to be found in the books where stronger influences were brought to bear on the mind of the prisoner to extort a confession than the one before us. That it was made under the influence of fear or apprehension of personal violence, can scarce be doubted.' <mask> noted that the crowd outside the mayor’s office was clamoring to hang Simon, and Mayor Sierra, who was Simon’s only protection from the crowd, was demanding that Simon confess. <mask> reasoned that if Simon maintained his innocence, he risked alienating Mayor Sierra, which could have resulted in the mayor abandoning him to the crowd. <mask> speculated that in Simon’s mind, a confession was 'the only immediate security for his person and his life.' <mask> also focused on the fact that Simon was a slave, and that Simon made his confession in the presence of, and at the urging of, his master.According to <mask>, 'the ease with which this class of our population can be intimidated, and the almost absolute control

texts: which the owner does involuntarily exercise over the will of the slave, should induce the courts at all times to receive their confessions with the utmost caution and distrust.' Further, <mask> opined that the trial testimony proved that Simon had falsely confessed. Specifically, <mask> noted that when Simon admitted to the burning of Dr. Maxwell’s house, he claimed to have set the fire at the east window on the first floor of the home, and that he had stayed there watching the fire until it blazed up. However, the two defense witnesses who testified at trial stated that the fire had started at the top of the house in the attic. One of these witnesses testified that, as the attic burned, he was located near the ground floor east window where Simon had confessed to starting the fire, but there was no fire there. According to <mask>, '[T]hese witnesses, who are unimpeached, and whose testimony is uncontradicted, establish the fact, that the confessions of the prisoner as to the particulars of the burning were altogether untrue.' As <mask> reasoned, if Simon had been truthfully confessing to arson, he would have had no reason to lie about the location where he had started the fire."Hardy stated that "without [Simon's] coerced confession, it did not appear there was any evidence to convict him." Simon was to be held in the Pensacola jail until the second trial. Finley cancelled the October 1853 Escambia County Circuit Court term due to a Yellow Fever epidemic. Simon’s second trial was postponed until the next Escambia County Circuit Court term, in June 1854. Simon died in the

Mayor Marty Walsh came out in opposition to it.The ordinance was rejected by the City Council in a 9-4 vote. Also in 2019, <mask> and fellow councilor Matt O'Malley proposed the idea of a vacancy tax on abandoned residential and commercial properties. In June 2020, <mask> was one of five city councilors in the minority that voted against Mayor Walsh's $3.61 billion operating budget proposal. She argued that it failed to include changes necessary for the city to address its racial inequality and systemic racism. In July 2020, amid the George Floyd protests, <mask> proposed an ordinance to create of a police oversight board. Ultimately, the Boston City Council voted later that year to approve a different ordinance creating an Office of Police Accountability that features a civilian police review board and oversight panel for internal affairs, which Mayor Walsh signed into law. In 2021, <mask>, with fellow councilor Kim Janey, proposed an ordinance that would have banned employers in Boston from running credit checks on job seekers, arguing that credit checks are most detrimental to low-income applicants.In May 2021, the City Council passed an ordinance by <mask> and Ricardo Arroyo which limits the use of crowd control weapons by officers of the Boston Police Department.

 for mayor. 2021 mayoral campaign

On September 24, 2020, <mask> announced her candidacy in the 2021 Boston mayoral election from her childhood home in Roxbury. In an announcement video that was released, she declared, "I’m running for mayor, because every neighborhood deserves real change and a real chance." During her campaign, <mask> was critical of Acting Mayor Kim Janey, who was also a candidate in the election.<mask> held press conferences criticizing Janey on various topics, including urging her to release legal documents related to a police scandal and to make greater cuts to the city's police department budget. In early August, <mask> called for Janey to put in place rules which would require that many businesses require patrons provide proof of vaccination. <mask> also criticized Janey for having, per her criticism, waited too long to put in place a vaccine mandate for city employees. <mask> received the endorsement of the Boston Globe editorial board. Ahead of the primary election, a super PAC associated with UNITE HERE Local 26, supporting Kim Janey's candidacy, ran a negative radio advertisement against <mask> which attacked her past support for charter school expansion, and which alleged that <mask> was "supported by special interests that want to take money from our schools, and give it to other schools that discriminate against kids with special needs". The latter accusation was seen as alluding to the fact that a super PAC supporting <mask>'s candidacy received funding from wealthy charter school proponents, such as Reed Hastings. <mask> publicly took issue with the characterization of her in this ad, and urged Janey to disavow it, which Janey did not.Janey's campaign manager accused <mask> of being a hypocrite, characterizing <mask>'s campaign as being entirely, "based on negative political

title: Julius Tannen

texts:
<mask> (May 16, 1880 – January 3, 1965) was a monologist in vaudeville. He was known to stage audiences for his witty improvisations and creative word games. He had a successful career as a character actor in films, appearing in over 50 films in his 25-year film career. He is probably best known to film audiences from the musical Singin' in the Rain, in which he appears as the man demonstrating a talking picture early in the film. Early years
After the deaths of his parents, <mask> was placed in an orphanage in Indianapolis, Indiana, when he was seven years old, and he lived there until he was 13. He worked as a private secretary until he was 21. Career
Tannen never intended to become a performer.As a young man, he was a salesman whose pitch was so good that he began to get offers to entertain at parties. He made his professional vaudeville debut at the age of 21, and soon developed into a monologist, the predecessor to today's stand up comic. He would frequently end his routines before the payoff of the story, allowing the audience to complete it for themselves, and exited with the phrase "My father thanks you, my mother thanks you, my sister thanks you, and I thank you," which was co-opted by the young George M. Cohan. <mask> made his Broadway debut in 1905, in a musical comedy called Lifting the Lid and went on to appear in three other productions in the next year. As a vaudevillian, he played the Palace Theatre in New York City – the apex of vaudeville performing – more often that almost any one else, indicating that he was at the peak of his profession. He appeared again on Broadway in 1916, and returned again in 1920, in a comic play with music, Her Family Tree, for which he received credit for writing his own

 scenes. Tannen was also seen in two editions of Earl Carroll's Vanities, in 1925 and 1926, and in George White's Scandals.In 1926, he became manager of Vanities in addition to his comedic performances. The advent of talking pictures created a need in Hollywood for performers with stage experience, and <mask> appeared in his first film in 1935, when he did an uncredited bit in Stranded. This set him upon his 25-year career as a character man, although his work frequently went without credit. In the 1940s, <mask> was part of Preston Sturges' unofficial "stock company" of character actors, appearing in eight films written and directed by Sturges, with the size of his roles increasing over time. Undoubtedly, <mask>'s most memorable and prominent performance came at the age of 72, when he portrayed a man demonstrating the technology of talking pictures in a film-within-the-film in Singin' in the Rain in 1952. <mask> continued to appear in films until 1959, when he was seen in an uncredited role in director John Sturges' Last Train from Gun Hill. He continued to work until he suffered a stroke in 1964.Personal life and death
When Tannen was 19 years old, he married Beatrice Muhleman. The couple, who had two sons, Charles and William, were married  for 60 years, until her death in 1960. Tannen died at the age of 84, on January 3, 1965, at the Motion Picture Country Home in Woodland Hills, California. Legacy
Lucille Ball said that seeing Tannen perform in her hometown of Jamestown, New York when she was a child inspired her to go into show business. His sons, <mask> and <mask>, were both successful film and television actors; William had a recurring role on The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp; Charles later became a television

The first known ancestor of the family to appear in Livonia was <mask> <mask>.His son, who was also named Otto, was a vassal of the Livonian Knighthood. <mask> belonged to the Sagnitz branch of the Luist line of the family. The Luist line was formed by Captain <mask> <mask> (1656–1715), and the further divided Sagnitz branch was formed by <mask>'s grandfather Major Gotthard <mask> <mask> (1714–1766). Early life

Originally not seeking a military career as a family tradition, <mask> enrolled into the Philosophy faculty of Imperial University of Dorpat in 1810.But after Napoleon invaded of Russia in 1812, <mask> dropped out from university and voluntarily entered the Russian Imperial Army. He entered the army as a Fahnenjunker and was enlisted into the 6th Libau Infantry Regiment which was stationed at the north-western part of Russia to defend against Napoleon. <mask>'s bravery during the war of 1812 rewarded him the rank of lieutenant from Alexander I personally. He was also appointed second to the quartermaster due to his high education and being multilingual among Russian soldiers at the time.

texts: <mask> (October 17, 1870February 23, 1942) was a Canadian ice hockey administrator and businessman. He concurrently served as president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA), the Saskatchewan Amateur Hockey Association, and the Saskatchewan branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada during the 1919–20 season. He sought regulations to govern amateur sport in Canada, which he felt was in a state of disrepute due to the lack of discussion and the postponement of meetings during World War I. He supported the reinstatement of former professionals as amateur athletes as favoured in Western Canada, despite the growing rift with delegates from Eastern Canada on the issue. He sought for the Allan Cup trustees to allow the CAHA to have more say into how the national playoffs were operated and argued for receiving an annual percentage of profits from gate receipts to allow the CAHA to govern effectively. <mask> rose to sporting prominence as the manager of senior ice hockey in Saskatoon, had established a clubhouse atmosphere to foster clean athletics in the city, and had hustled to get results and revive interest in amateur sport in Saskatchewan. He was named to the Canadian Olympic Association in preparation for the 1920 Summer Olympics, and later managed the Saskatoon Crescents Hockey Club in the Western Canada Hockey League for the 1922–23 season.By the end of his hockey career, <mask> was "noted for his genial and philosophical outlook upon life", and skilled as "the most prolific and entertaining author of hockey letters" that were "lengthy, profound, well-worded, interesting and to the point". <mask> was the

He was hired by the Saskatchewan Motor League as an organizer and established 37 automobile clubs in Northern Saskatchewan within one year. He lobbied the provincial government for improvements to the highway network and succeeded in having uniform traffic signs and mileposts installed in Saskatchewan. He wanted more vehicle owners to install dimmers on headlights, and advocated for enforcement of no-glare laws for driving at night. He sought to increase membership in the motor leagues to fight against the rising cost of vehicle licence fees, and for any fees collected to be set aside for annual maintenance of roads. He was later contracted to organize clubs for the Alberta Motor League after the Saskatchewan Motor League had been the most active provincial league in Canada under his leadership.Early life and family
<mask> <mask> was born on October 17, 1870, in Nova Scotia, Canada, the son of <mask> and <mask> Sampson. His father was born in Nova Scotia with English heritage and his mother was born in the United States. During his younger years, Betts was an athlete who played football, baseball, bicycle racing and track and field sports in the eastern United States. He was a fan of baseball and attended home games for the Providence Grays and recalled seeing games at the Polo Grounds. His favourite player was Cap Anson, who he felt was one of the game's greatest first basemen. Betts later settled in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and was married to Harriett B<mask> of Nova Scotia.

 instead, without any teams in the provincial leagues. Amateur hockey president

In March 1919, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) held its first annual meeting since 1915 due to World War I. The SAHA was given the turn to choose the president, and nominated <mask> to succeed James T. Sutherland. The CAHA adopted the rules of play used in the Ontario Hockey Association for Allan Cup for senior competition, assumed control of competition for the Memorial Cup and the Abbott Cup for junior competition, and agreed to form an alliance with the Amateur Athletic Union which oversaw ice hockey in the United States.<mask> was opposed to the continued postponement of the AAU of C annual meeting due to post-war economic reasons. He felt that amateur sport was in a state of disrepute by not discussing the issues, and wanted to see regulations to prevent disagreements. He was opposed to the mingling of professionals and amateurs on the same team, but supported exhibition games where amateur teams played against professional teams. He also supported the reinstatement of professionals as amateurs, but insisted on penalties for athletes who broke amateur eligibility rules. The first AAU of C annual meeting since 1914, was held at the Château Laurier in Ottawa in September 1919. <mask> spoke in favour of a motion by western delegates to allow the reinstatement of former professional athletes as amateurs, despite a growing rift in Canada on the proposal. Eastern delegates were firmly against the motion, and believed that "once a professional, always a professional".A compromise was reached when the AAU of C granted Western

texts: Canada branches temporary permission to reinstate professionals as amateurs for the upcoming hockey season, but that such players would be ineligible for the national Allan Cup playoffs. In November 1919, <mask> was elected as president of the SAHA for the 1919–20 season. He became president of the Saskatchewan branch of the AAU of C in December 1919, was named to the national committee for AAU of C championships, and set a deadline of December 31 for any former professional to apply for reinstatement as an amateur. Betts added another presidency to his responsibilities when chosen to lead the Saskatoon division of the Saskatchewan Intermediate Hockey League for the 1919–20 season. The SAHA sought the recognition of reinstated professionals in the Allan Cup playoffs, then withdrew from competition when the cup's trustees refused. <mask> resigned as president of the Saskatchewan branch of the AAU of C for personal health and business reasons on March 24, 1920. The next day, he submitted his resignation as president of the SAHA effective on April 15, and cited health reasons for wanting to reduce his travel.The Saskatoon Daily Star speculated that the disagreements and the indecision on the SAHA executive contributed to <mask>'s resignations. During the 1920 Allan Cup playoffs, <mask> expressed concerns that the Toronto Varsity Blues men's ice hockey team had violated the rules by participating in both the Ontario Hockey Association and the Canadian Interuniversity Athletics Union playoffs. At the 1920 general meeting, the CAHA decided that the team was eligible for the Allan Cup. Betts and Allan Cup trustee William

 Northey formed a committee to discuss the CAHA having more say into how the Allan Cup playoffs were operated. Betts sought to end the financial struggles of operating the CAHA and to receive adequate financial compensation. He argued that the Allan Cup playoffs were the primary source of income for the CAHA, and that the lack of working capital made it difficult to have meetings and govern effectively. He sought a provision that gave a set percentage of gate receipts to the CAHA annually, as opposed to funds being distributed solely at the discretion of the cup's trustees.Later hockey career
<mask> was named to the board of governors for the Canadian Olympic Association which prepared for the 1920 Summer Olympics in Belgium. He was succeeded by H. J. Sterling of the Thunder Bay Amateur Hockey Association as president of the CAHA on March 31, 1920. The AAU of C appointed a commission to investigate into the amateur status of hockey players in Canada in May 1921. Betts wrote to the commission and argued to resolved the disputes on amateurism for the sake of the fans, and wanted to see an end to hockey authorities ignoring the regulations if the local team had a chance to win the Allan Cup. <mask> was appointed as the western representative to the commission in June 1921, by then CAHA president W. R. Granger who was sympathetic to <mask>'s cause and wanted to end the differences between east and west. Betts was unable to travel to the commission's meeting in Toronto and recommended another representative from Saskatoon instead.At the general meeting of the SAHA in November 1921, northern and southern delegates disagreed

 on how to interpret the constitution, then passed a motion by <mask> to divide the SAHA in two pending approval by the CAHA. The SAHA later decided on operating as one association with separate divisions for the north and south. <mask> was named to the organizing committee for the north, which formed teams at the intermediate level. Saskatoon Crescents

The Saskatoon Crescents Hockey Club was reorganized in April 1922, and <mask> joined the team's board of directors. He was appointed chairman of the team's management committee, made the final decision on player contracts, and had a policy of not making statements to the media until a deal was final. He represented the Crescents at meetings of the Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL), and in joint meetings with the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) for a mutual working agreement and inter-league play. PCHA president Frank Patrick felt that the WCHL would have strong leadership for the season.He wrote that <mask> was "noted for his genial and philosophical outlook upon life", skilled at writing letters, and that "his name [was] likely to go down in hockey history as the most prolific and entertaining author of hockey letters". The Saskatoon Daily Star anticipated a successful season for the Crescents, and described <mask> as "an authority on hockey constitutions before and since his time", and that his letters were "lengthy, profound, well-worded, interesting and to the point". <mask> signed ten new players to contracts by November in addition to three players who returned from the previous season. He sought to sign Newsy Lalonde from the Montreal Canadiens, and was

 willing to buy Lalonde's release pending all other National Hockey League clubs waiving their right to claim him. <mask> later agreed to trade the rights to highly-touted prospect Aurèle Joliat to bring Lalonde to the Crescents as the team's player-coach for the season. The Crescents won eight of thirty games played, placed fourth during the 1922–23 WCHL season and did not qualify for the playoffs, despite that Lalonde led the league with 30 goals scored. <mask> retired as chairman of the management committee in May 1923, when new ownership assumed control of the Crescents.Motor leagues organizer
<mask> was the Saskatoon dealer for the Scripps-Booth car, and served as secretary of the Saskatoon Retail Merchants Association. He touted the Scripps-Booth as an energy efficient vehicle, and drove an 8-cylinder roadster. He was an enthusiast for fast cars and good roads, and was hired by the Saskatchewan Motor League as an organizer in winter 1916–17. He sought a co-ordinated effort by motorists to improve roads in Saskatchewan, mailed out letters to promote joining a motor league, and committed to making real progress within one year. He felt that by joining a motor league, vehicle owners would have strength in numbers and protect their investment. He wanted the province to assume maintenance of roads instead of the poor quality patchwork system kept by the municipalities. In less than one year by July 1917, Betts had organized the establishment of 37 automobile clubs in Northern Saskatchewan.He lobbied the provincial government for a better highway network between its borders with Manitoba and Alberta, and succeeded in

He arranged an inter-provincial motor league convention in February 1918 and invited delegates from Manitoba and Alberta to work together for better roads. He co-operated with the Manitoba Motor League to install signage on major routes between Saskatchewan and Manitoba in 1918. <mask> assumed organizing duties for the southern half of the Saskatchewan Motor League in April 1919, and opened an office in Regina in addition to Saskatoon. He wanted more vehicle owners to install dimmers on headlights, and advocated for enforcement of no-glare laws for driving at night. At the annual convention, he urged for local trail blazing associations to take advantage of government grants for signage, and continued input from members to pressure the government for regular improvements to the road network. He sought to increase membership in the motor leagues to fight against the rising cost of vehicle licence fees, and convinced the provincial government to have a portion of the fees collected set aside for the annual maintenance of roads in Saskatchewan.<mask>'s success in Saskatchewan led to him being contracted to organize clubs for the Alberta Motor League, to improve roads for the farmers, commercial travellers and tourists. He began working in Alberta while speaking at the Calgary Auto Club annual meeting in February 1920, and spent his winter vacation working from the Palliser Hotel in Calgary to complete the organization of the Alberta Motor League for 1921.

He also played as a goaltender in a local broomball league, and was an officer of the Saskatoon Elks of Canada Lodge. Betts was president of the Saskatoon Kennel Club from 1926 to 1927, and grew the club's annual dog show to become a prominent part of the Saskatoon Exhibition by including international judges.He supported the use of dogs to protect personal property, and led opposition to a proposed city by-law which would have allowed for the destruction of dogs that bit or attempted to bite anyone. He was named an associate director of the Saskatoon Exhibition in June 1927, and was the manager of the Winter Fair Building which included an ice rink for the 1930–31 season. The CAHA awarded Betts a medal as its past president in 1925. When the CAHA held its silver jubilee and invited all past presidents as guests of honour in April 1939, <mask> was unable to attend due to illness. <mask> moved from Saskatoon to Chilliwack, British Columbia, in July 1939, and was confined to bed following a stroke in January 1942. He died at home on February 23, 1942, and was interred in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery in Chilliwack. References
