Bread Driver Missing Since
Monday After
noon
FUTILE SEARCH TO-DAY
Motor Truck Driven by Man Found at
Four Mile Run--Relatives Fear Foul
Play

Every effort to find any trace ot
! the whereabouts Of Kenneth Morri
son F. Sprinsmann, ID years old
driver of truck for the Dorsct
Baking Company, Washington, who
lives at 610 South Lee street, thus
far has proved unavailing.
The Alexandria and Washington
authorities today were engaged in
dragging Four mile; run in hope OF
finding the body. Every available
foot of territory near Four mile run
was gone over by the searchers
without success.
Springmann has been missing
: since Monday afternoon. Yesterday
morning his truck was found stand
ing intact near Four mile run.
Springmann at the time was return
ing to Washington having compile
ted his days work Of delivering
bread, he having gone as far as
Hoadly, Prince William county, Va.
He arrived in Alexandria, accord
ing to his wife, between and p.
M, Monday afternoon and went
home and before leaving told his
wife that he would be home between
6 and $50 o'clock that evening.
Nothing further was thought of
the matter until he failed to make
his appearance at his home yester-
day morning.
Search was instituted by relatives
and an investigation resulted that
his motor truck was standing in
the road off Four mile run.
The truck was subsequently taken
in charge by the baking company
by whom Springmann was employ
ed. 1t was seen at the same place
at o'clock yesterday morning by
the, driver of truck. =,
Mrs. Springmann stated this
morning that when her husband
left home Monday afternoon he told
her that he had three or four stops
to make at stores before going to
Washington. He did not mention
their location and the supposition
is that, they We're in Alexandria
county just north of this city.
The wife is of the opinion that he
had between $l00 and sl25 in his
possession at the time, this being
money he had collected for bread
delivered on his trip to Alexandria
and the neighboring counties.
Springmann formerly was en-
ployed by Corby Brothers as driver
of bread wagon in Alexandria and
for the past month he had been en-
ployed by the Dorsch Baking Com
pany &of Washington, covering
Alexandria and nearby counties.
His home is Lortol,, Va, and he
has been living in Alexandria for
some time past, He has a wife
and little, baby and his wife is a
teacher in the public schools in this
. city. He is cousin of Detective
James A; springmann. of Washing
ton.
Mrs. Springnann is overcome at
7 the unexplained disappearance OF
her. husband and is hoping hourly
to hear some tidings of his where
abouts.'
Relatives of the missing man fear
that he may have been q victim OF
foul play.

MUSICIANS CLUB PRESENTS
GHAyEURE, BARITONE

Louis Graveure. baritone, appeared
IN a song recital last evening at the
list in tho series of the Musicians
Club OF Richmond Again the Must
clans club displayed wise Judgment in
It's choice, and Mr.. Graveure brough,
the utmost pleasure and delight to the
guests.
ing. program of twenty three num-
pcrs. embracing q wide variety of
composers and styles, was given by
Mr.: Cir Gsay .f;ur TO the programmed
ton and extra numbers full half
dozen other selections. In ali of his
numbers Mr.. Gravcurc disclosed n voice
of superb quality under the highest
perfection OF control, with mastery
OF style and a versatility Of intcrpreta-
ton which, we dare say, has not been
equale6 here In many seasons.
To a voice OF vide range, the artist
has brought a high degree OF tcchni-
cal training and development. Whether
in full voice or in his mezza voce and
light head tones. AIR. Graveure has
the same complete mastery OF quality.
and it may be remarked that each
number seemed TO bring out some new
phase of his art.

as attractivcly done as any song OF
the evening.
Mr. Graveure is an apt interpreter
OF humorous songs, as illustrated by
his group OF Irish songs in particular
THE Blathcrskite," The Leperhaun'
and MY Mcnagerie. of Foster. HIS
thrilling top note 1T the climax OF the
Dvorak Freedom" was his most dra-
matte effort OF the evening, unless
one excerpts his Vision Fugitive" from
Masscnet.
The accompaniment OF Mr.. Treharne
have not been excelled here within
our memory. Nothing finer than his
support Of the singer can be Imagined.
and his contribution to the program
was OF the highest quality. All in all,
the recital last evening was enjoyable
in the greatest degree, and the Mu-
sicians' Club sustained it's reputation
