NOW THINK NEGRO
SLAYER Of YOUNG
BRIDE IN VIRGINIA

BoYDToN, Va, Nov. 1O-The mys-
terry surrounding the assault and muir
der at a lonely farmhouse near here
OF Mrs. Thomas L. Walker. a bride OF
a few days. has been deepened by the
release OF W. r. Smelly. cousin and
former sweetheart OF the woman. who
was at nrst charged with the murder.
Smelly established a complete alibi
when arraigned yesterday and was
given his liberty. He was many miles
away from the scene when the crime
is said to have been committed.
Armed posses are today searching
for suspects and with the sustaining
OF the allbi by Smelly, more credence
is placed in a statement made by the
young woman just before her death
that she had been attacked by a big
black man. Because OF statements
said to have been made by Smelly
before the marriage OF his sweet
heart to another man, little interest
was shown in the womans dying
statement.
Smelly sent flowers to be placed on
the woman's grave and showed grief
at the funeral He was shortly af-
terward taken into custody by the
police.s
Sheriff Peale and Commonwealth
Attorney Baskerville have taken
charge OF the investigation. but they
do not intimate that arrests are
probable at a near future date.

D|PHTHER|A CASES
SPREAD TO MANY
DISTRICT SCHOOLS

With a total of 22s cases OF diph
iberia on record in the District, rigor-
Gus measures are being taken by the
Health Department to prevent the
further spread OF the disease. CuI,
ures have been taken in all OF the
schools OF Anacostia. where the dis,
ease first appeared as we'll as in the
lexington, Toner and other schools
where cases recently were reported.
The patients have been quarantined
and the buildings disinfected.
FOrty-six Cases In One School.
Forty-six cases were reported in the
lexington school and nine in the
Toner. Two clinical cases were re-
ported today also in the Brightwood
Park. one in the Force, one in the
Towers, one in the Ross. one in the
Ludlow. one in the Peabody and one
in the Maury.
The health authorities attribute
the epidemic to the appearance OF the
disease in Anacostia before the open
Ing OF the schools. Cultures in the
Birney, Garfield, Kitchln. Van Buren,
Congress Heights and Stanton schools
resulted in the discovery OF a num-
Der OF carrier cases. In each case
the patient was QuarAntined.
VIII Not Close Schools.
Health officials believe IL will not
be necessary to close any OF the
school buildings.
The taking OF culture in schools
where cases are reported and the
prompt isolation OF the patient they
say viii do much toward breaking

CHORAL SOCIETY IN
 MUSICAL TRIUMPH
King Olaf' and Other Numbers
 Thrill Capacity Audience

The final concert of the season of the New Britain Choral society was given last evening at the Russwin Lyceum before an audience that went into ecstacy over the hnished work of the soloists and chorus. The princi- pals were Mildred Graham, soprano; Theo Karle. tenor, and Arthur Middle ton. baritone.
 A diversified program was offered, the first part, consisting of King Olaf." by Carl Busch. in which the principals and chorus scored tri- umph, and the second part consisting of . brief offering by the orchestra and miscellaneous numbers by Mir. Karle and MT. Middleton, accom- panied by Miss Ruth Bennett.
 In. it's short existence. the chorus of the society has sung nothing 90 pre- tentious as King Olaf" and it has sung nothing 90 we'll. Edwin F. Lau- bin. under whose. direction the chorus has been drilled, made . wise selec- tion in choosing such an important and difficult number. The average musical director would hesitate before daring to ask other than professional artists to attempt such . heavy work but the rendition proved that MT. Laubin's confidence was not mis- placed.

DARKEST RUSSIA"
 A GRIPPING DRAMA

Successful beyond all expectations was the initial showing of Alice Brady's latest screen vehicle, Dark est Russia z at Fox's last night. Few subjects at present hold the public mind at such an extreme point of high tension as the fate of the latest recruits to liberty's banner in their struggle against unjust and tyranni- cal oppression, and in this latest fea- ture of the Fox program is depicted a fair example of the cruel conditions to which these people have been sub- jected for 30 many years. It tells of the narrowing experiences of an in- nocent Jewish violinist. and her brother, who. from being a literary idealist, is driven by the misery of his countrymen, to the verge of Ni-, hilism. They join the revolutionary party when their father Is brutally shot by drunken government officials. and are sentenced to Siberia. together with the son of a Russian noblenaan who has fallen in love with the girl.
