OPERA LOVERS
START BATTLE
Want Singers to Enunciate
Words So They Can Be
Understood.

Opera singers should initiate the
vaudeville warbiers in their enun-
citation. according to q bsiletin is
sued by the American speech COM
mittee Of the Chicago Woman's Club.
Although the quality of voice in
Vaudeville singers frequently Is de-
plorable." the bulletin deplores,
their enunciation Is excellent. This
Is due to the attitude of mind Of
the vaudeville audience.
"A vaudeville audience demands
to know what Is going on. A singer
who mumbles does not last long in
public favor. Therefore. may we
present for the consideration OF
American opera singers the very
clear enunciation Of Al Jolson, Eddie
Cantor. Nora Bayes and the other
popular singers?"
The committee has circulated the
following resolution throughout tho
city:
Resolved, That we join with the
American speech committee of the
Chicago Woman's Club in express
ing to the Chicago Grand Opera
Company or desire that the modern
opera shall be given in English in
Chicago and to that end suitable
librcttos of literary merit shall be
prepared and singers who are ca
pable of appearing in all star casts
shall be trained TO enunciate dis
tinctly in English"

Aided inMurder
OfRichFarner
Silver Headed Hatpin Found
Near Place Body Was
Hidden.

Cape Charles, Va. April 17.-Al-
though q week has elapsed since
the finding OF the body of Horace
p. Mock. prominent business man
Of Tasley. Va, who is believed to
have been murdered and dragged to
a patach of woods near the Tasley
fair grounds on the night of Feb
ruary 10. no definite clew has been
revealed.
The body was found seven days
ago by Annie Boggs.
Way He Met Death In Doubt.
Owing to the two months ex-
posure of the body, II is impossible
thus far even to determine how
Mock met his death. The theory
that he was the victim of foul play,
however, was strengthened by the
finding. near the body, OF an iron
cudgel. Authorities have also been
led to believe that more than one
person is implicated in the tragedy,
as a woman's silver mounted hat
pin was also found near the place
oi concealment.
There were no blood marks on the
cudgel and nothing to indicate that
a struggle had occurred at that
place.
The absence of $500 which Mock
is known to have carried on the
night OF his disappearance has sug-
gested robbery as the motive, on
the other hand. his gold watch was
still in the pocket of his vest.
Well Known in Section.
Mock was we'll known along the
eastern shore of Virginia. as he had
conducted a general merchandise
store at Tasley for thirty-five years
and during that time had resided at
Accomac Courthouse, a few miles
distant.
On the night of his disappearance
he announced his intention of driv-
ing to Tasley station to leave for
Philadelphia on the night express
On the following morning his horse
and carriage were found in the
stable adjoining his store in Tasley,
Until his body was found, nothing
had been heard of him since.
