FIND REMAINS OF
FARMER IN RIVER
Body of Louis p. Layer Discovered
Floating in Water Near Prince
Hall in South Rock Island.
BELIEVED CASE OF SUICIDE
Unfortunate Man Left Home Early
Last Evening without Telling
Where He Was Going.

The body of Louis ?. Layer, 50 years
of age, truck gardener who resides on
Dougherty's lane, west of Ninth street
was found floating in Rock river at
1920 this morning at a point near
Prince hall, the Colored Masonic home
for aged people at the foot of Thirty
ninth avenue. The remains were found
by Jennie C. McClain, matron at the
home, who was walking along the riv
er bank at the time. She notified the
local police and the authorities in turn
called Coroner r. c. J. Meyer. The
body was removed to Wheelan's under
taking parIors, where an inquest will
be conducted tonight at o'clock.
The suppositiOn is that Layer COM
mitted suicide while temporarily de-
ranged by the heat. g. Although mem
bers of the family claim that he had
only been missing since last evening,
the body gives all appearances of hav-
ing been in the water at least "a hours
more. Wound tightly around his waist
was found some bale wire and at
tached to the wire was a nine-pound
paving brick.
This weight in itself is not ufficient
to sink d body Members of the fam
lily stated today that when last seen
about the home Mr.. Layer was in the
best of spirits and did not appear i'll
nor affected by the heat. No one saw
him leave the home, nor did he tell
anyone where he was going at the time
he disappeared. The first news Of the
tragedy did not reach the family until
shortly before noon. They had been
searching for him all morning. All the
valuables he was in the habit of carry
ing with him were found in his peck
cts, doing away with any foul play
theory.
Born in Germany.
Mr. Layer was born in Germany. He
came TO Rock Island to make his home
forty years ago and had lived here
since Nearly all of that time he had
followed truck farming, working
few acres which he owned. He was
united in marriage to Miss Verna
Sherman 80 years ago in Rock Island.
Besides his wife he is survived by
the following children: Mrs. Robert
Brusse1, Rock Island; Miss Amelia
Layer, at home, and Fred, John and
Joseph, all of this city.

Mr.. and Mrs. P. M. Abbey
Pass Away at Newport

Newport, Ore, April 26. - Mrs.
Cerena Abbey, who died here Friday
night last after being an invalid for
more than two years past, was the
widow of the late Peter M. Abbey,
who passed away last February. She
was born in Vienna, Canada, in l848,
and was married to Peter NJ. Abbey
in Canada in 1866. The same year
with her husband she came to Cor
wallis, Ore, and in May, 1867, they
moved to Newport, Ore, and engaged
in the mercantile business. Their
principal customers then were In
dians, the white settlers being limited
in number. The Indians at that time
had not been placed on reservations.
In 1871 they disposed OF their mer-
camille business and built the old Abbey
hotel, and from that time on followed
the hotel business, Mrs. Abbey beeom-
ing one of the best known and most
popular hostesses in the state and on
the coast. During 1911 the old build.
ing having become obsolete, the new
and modern Abbey hotel was erected,
the first modern hostelry built on YR-
quina bay.
Mrs. Abbey is survived by two sons,
Edwin James and Morton Hazard Alb.
bey, who are now operating the Abbey
hotel.

perhaps the lad had gone fishing and
some mishap had befallen him but no
trace Of the missing one could be found.
And the homes of his youthful friends
were visited with the same result, the
search being abandoned only with the
dawn Of day, and then only temporarily.

GIVE CONCERT MAY Il
Program Wide In Range and
Calculated to Please
Every Taste

The announcement is made by Mr..
Paul R. Smith, the urbane manager of
the combined Glee Club and Young
Ladies Club, that on the twelfth of /
Nav they will make their first, last /
and only appearance in concert this |
year, at the First Methodist Church, |
May 12.
A varied and miscellaneous program
has been arranged by Frank Wilbur
Chace, the musical director of the clubs.
DR.. Chace is past master in program
making, and bears in mind the proper |
equation, not wearying with an over I
plus of the howeyer-good. 1t will be |
feast yes, real feast with good, |
solid courses, not forgetting the musical
ice cream and confections. There will |
| be musical food not only suited to the
| taste of the ears trained to listen to
contra-puntal mysteries solved, but the
ears of the layman will be pleased and
satisfied as well.
Delightful Numbers Promised.
A fine contrast of men S choruses,
ladies' choruses, quartets, solos for
piano, voice, and violin, with possibly
a reading, will be given. The season
has been remembered with a "Spring
Song" by Miss Benson, and the " Bridal
Chorus,' from Cowen S Rose Maiden,
with the combined clubs. The fresh
young voices of the singers almost per
suade one that Gypsy S life in the
open is far preferable, with the "Gypsy
) Chorus" from "The Bohemian Cir"
The men tell tales "out of school, in
"Tney Kissed, | saw Them Do 1t. 1.-THE
"Lost Chord" may be found in "How
1t Happened" by Hadley, the young
American composer of whom we are all
proud. An "Alpine Rose" by Gerritt
Smith, is found near "The Forest, by
Haeser. "An Irish Folk Song" leads
the girls to "Twihght Dreams;" where
upon the male quartet is inspired to
) sing, 'Sunset." "
It would never do to forget the
, "war times" and the martial note is
struck in Schumann g inspired "Two
Grenadiers, and our own John Philip
Sousa g "The Stars and Stripes For

This is the first time in five years
the willamette University Glee Club
! has appeared in Salem, although it has
q made various long tours going as far as
Coos Bay, where it gave concerts In
). Marshfield, North Bend, Coquille, Myr-
tie Point and Bandon. 1t has given no
4 concerts in Salem and the reason for
: this has been that it never appears in
/ Salem unless it can give concert
a which would far surpass any other
J. musical production.
v This year, however, the director, Dr..
|, Frank Weber Chace feels that they can
!. give concert of which they and the
citizens of Salem may be justly proud,
!, Therefore the musical enthusiasts of
