was a musical treat. The program
consisted of the excellent rendition
of beautiful classical pieces both vo-
cal and instrumental, with readings,
humorous and dramatic. The audi.

hear Mrs. Trevey ono more. She is
always a favorite with an audience
here and this time, as ever. she pleas
ed them greatly with her selections.
Miss Bollman demonstrated that she
is an artist at the piano az we'll as in
vocal work. Miss Bollman is expe-
rienced in concert work, having been
on the lyceum platform for q season.
Miss Johanna Witmayer excelled at
the piano in her solo and duet work,
and also played beautifully the &C.

her ability as a reader and imperson-
ator. The proceeds of the entertain
ment will be applied by the Civic

Father of Missing Man Made
This Offer To-
day
SEARCH is CONTINUED
One of the Most Puzzling Cases That
Has Confronted Police-AbsOlutely
No Trace of Missing Man.

A reward of $3.50 for the body of
Kenneth NJ. F. Springman, twenty
four years old, missing since Mon
day afternoon last, today was of
fered by his father, J.. NJ. Spring
man, merchant, of Lorton, Va.
This offer was made in order to
stimulate the search for the missing
man. Mrs. Springman feels
thoroughly satisfied that his body
will be found in the woods in this
neighborhood, and is convinced that
her husband was the victim of foul
play.
Mrs. Springman stated today to
reporter for the Gazette that she
has obtained no further clew to his
whereabouts and that all available
clews have been run to earth with
out success by the authorities.
His whereabouts today are, there
fore, as much a mystery as on Mon
day afternoon when he was last
seen driving the bread delivery
truck for the :Dorsch Bakery going
toward Washington.
The case is one of the most baf-
fling that has confronted the police
authorities for a long time past.
AS already stated Springman was
enroute to Washington to turn in
after having delivered and sold
bread on his run, going as far as
Hoadly, Prince William county, Va.
He stopped off in this city and vis-
tied his family, telling his wife he
expected to return home that even
ing about 6 or $3.50 o'clock and mis-
truck was found next day at Four
mile run and all trace Of the man
lost.
