FOUND IN BED

Carter was employed as a mail car
rier in the colored belt and is said to
have remarked that he intended to quit
his job and get into politics as he
could do nothing or make any money
as a mail carrier. 1t is said that he
also drank considerable before the
shooting occurred.
That Carter was generally disliked
by the better element OF colored peo-
pie OF Gary was openly displayed in
casual remarks last night when many
admissions were made that they hoped
the police would capture him and even
lent their assistance in capturing him.
According to many. Carter is a bad

Young Tenor Again
Wins Audience Here
Iheo karle, in Aeolian Hall
Recital, Discloses I'm
usual Abilitv

Theo Karle, a young tenor of whom
Americans may justly be proud. gave
his second recital Of the season last
night, this time at Aeolian Hall. His
agreeable voice is used skilfully and
with taste. He has mastered the Sc
crets of breath control, with the result
that his phrasing is excellent. His die
ten, too, is above the average. With
his Voice, ingratiating personality and
present equipment, it would not be sur
prising we're Mr.. Karle to wander into
grand opera.
In certain respects the program was
disappointing. There was one great
song-"Thc Lament of Ian the Proud"
by Critics, whose orchestral compost
ton, THE Pleasure Dome of Kuble
Khan" was recently heard here with
pleasure-but there were also several
mediocrities. Lohr's Indian songs from
the Garden Of Kama ara Of the music
hall variety, and without a trace Of
native color. The first four songs. by
Handel, Mascagni and Sibella, were as
. grsup the most enjoyable. Coleridge-
Tayler's "Onaway, Awake, Beloved"
and Harty's "My Lagan Love" also af-
forded the singer opportunities to
shine. while in II. r. B%urleigh's lizard
Trials" and go Down, Moses" he dis
closed unusual ability as an Interpreter
Of negro spirituals.
