The report of the executive com
mittee of the Indianapolis Humane
Society, made last night ~ the board
of directors, relative to the care Of
dogs confined at the Indiana Univers-
ity School of Medicine, which has
previously been referred to as an
"exoneration" of the college, was
made public today and reveals that
the executive board has refused to go
on record as having investigated or
In any way passed on the charges of

date of its investigation.
The executive committee. in conclud-
ing its report, says:
Nothing in the report shall De con-
strued in any way 10 refer to charges
that relate TO the past"
This part of the report is saij to lave
been made necessary by jhe insistence
Of the med=al college that the "execu-
tive committee" had "exonerated" the col
lege of any improper treatment Of dogs
confined in its kennels for experimental
surgery.

didons there which were not the sams

sion Of their prearranged visit, and which

A GREAT DRAMA
COMING TO GRAND

Those theater goers who admire
drama In Its purest form are prom
ised an unusual opportunity to witness
at Its best next Thursday
night when John E. kellerd, the emf
nent actor. appears at the theater In
The Merchant OF Venice" Mr.. Kel-
lerd who holds the record for con-
tinuous performances of Hamlet In
New York city-he having appeared lo2
consecutive times on Broadway In that
role-will play Shyiock here, part
particularly adapted to mis- talents.
Supported by largo and capable
company OF distinguished players. the
visit OF Kellerd promises to be one of
the most noteworthy events Of the
local dramatic season. 1t is not often
that such an actor consents to visit
the smaller cities. the number Of
students of Shakespeare unfortunate
ly being too small to permit so large
q production in any but the larger
centers OF population.
Kellcrd's portrayal OF the tragic
figure. Shylock, is said to be one OF
the finest pieces OF acting on the pres
ent day stage. His work has been
compared to that of Sir Henry Irvins.
and one critic. Amy Leslie. OF the
Chicago Daily News. hailed Kellerd as
greater shylock than even Edwin
Booth.
Other characters In the play have
been allotted to cast especially
selected by Mr.. Kcllerd himself. The
principal feminine role. that of Portia.
is in the capable han,~s of Miss Fredda
Brindley. one OF the most brilliant OF
the younger actresses appearing in the
legitimate. The scenic production and
costumes are unusually elaborate.
