Day Is Cancelled
By the Associated Prcss.

by the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 1.-The reci-
tai by Fritz KreisIer at the opera,
set for November II, which was to
have been his afterwar debut IN
France, has been Cancelled owing
to the agitation against the ap-
pearance of a former enemy in
the State theater on Armistice
day.
The promoters said they had no
idea of propaganda in arranging
the affair, but they had received
so many protests that they would
change the date, particularly as
kreisler himself had telegraphed
to them to the effect that he
thought the objections were well
founded and that Armistice day was
a tactless choice.

SENTRy'S DEATH
BELIEVED ACCIDENT
Police Confident Walter Reed
Soldier Was Killed While
Examining His Gun.

Struggling to the end of d trail
fraught with difficulties and battling
contradictions. detectives working on
the mystery surrounding the death of
Russell Shores. whose body was found
near his sentry post in Walter Reed
Hospital grounds October - with A
fatal bullet wound in his abdomen.
have closed all possibilities that the
death was occa stoned 10y murder, and
Inspector Grant at noon was en-
deavoring to get into Communicat ion
with Coroner J. Ramsay hewitt for a
confirmation officially of the police
theory Of accidental death.
Inspector Grant made the announce
ment shortly before noon today. The
verdict Of the coroner'S jury set aside
suicide aS q possible cause OF death
by stating the deceased came to his
death at the hands of party or par
ties unknown" The police have def
nItely established. Inspector Grant
said. after a thorough and deep-delv-
ing investigation that the death could
not have been a murder. The one re-
naming possibility by this theory of
elimination accordingly has been an
nounccd as the final statement of the
detectives in charge of the case as
of the victim himself or at the hands
of friend
seated When Shot.
After close examination of the
clothes which were worn by Shores
at tnc time Of death. detectives dis
covered that death came while he
was sitting down. This is evidenced
by bullet wound which tore through
III hn inc nF l;ri
in two places. The hole in the coat at
the outer point of entry was single
hole. The lining, however. because
of wrinkle. which detectives
say could only exist when the
wearer was seated when the bullet
entered the garment. contained two
holes, made by the same bullet
This discovery, made only yesterday,
first led police to the definite conclu-
sion that the man was not killed
while standing. The second conclu-
sion which was predicated on this
one. was that the bullet either could
have been fired while, he himself,
seated was examining the revolver.
or while showing it to a friend seated
nearby. But the question came up:
"If such is the case. why didn't such
friend report this?' That question is
taken to eliminate the possibility
that such a friend was present and
that death came when the man was
examining his own gun; the death
wound being accidental, and not in
territorial.
Reaching this conclusion. Inspector
Grant Immediately attempted to reach
Coroner hewitt with a view either to
holding a supplemental inquest in the
case or to having the police theory
confirmed by authority of the coroner.
The latter course is expected to be
the one adopted.

PORT NENDRES, France Franco
Spanish Frontier. November 1.-The
political situation in Spain has been
somewhat complicated since the de-
parture for Morocco of Gen. Primo
Rivera, the premier.
In and out of Spain. former political
leaders have taken advantage OF Gen.
Primo Rivera's absence to begin an
agitation. Copies of letters from sew
eral of these former leaders have
been passed around among the pub
lie with the intention of creating an
atmosphere favoring the resumption
of civil government. The Ateneo

is the center of activities of the more
radical elements among politicians
and inteIlectuaIs. and which for sew
eral months maintained d complete
silence. announced this week it would
hold an assembly for the election Of

Der of members gathered "Wednesday y

but they found the Ateneo occupied
by the police. while the surrounding
streets We're strongly patrolled. The
meeting and election were postponed.
Earlier in the week dinner was
organized ostensibly for the purpose
on his attitude at the opening ex-
erciSes OF the university. 1t was be
lieved by many. however. that the
gathering was intended as n political
manifesto against the military di-
rectorate. Many leading politicians
announced they would attend. in
Guiding Marquis de Alhucemas. for
mer premier; Melauiades Alvaraz. for
mer president Of the Chamber of
Deputies; Niceto Alola -Zamora, former
minister of war and Lieut.. Gen.

lister of war and high commissioner
to Spanish Morocco.
Two of the expected guests failed
to appear. while Gen. Berenguer ar
rived only in time for the dessert and
the speeches. During the dinner the
| room was invaded by the police when
the orators made melting remarks
construed as an appeal to Gen. Ber-
enguer to take the lead in overturn
ing the military director. Several
radical leaders were arrested and
taken to Jail.
Gen Berenguer. however, left the
room quietly. Nothing was permit

said, 1.-THE ladies, God bless then, and
keep them at home on election day."
This short sentence also represents the
secret wish of every male politician in
the country, most of whom are too wise
to breathe their. wish loud enough to
be: heard BY anyone but themselves.
E These same politicians are asking
themselves whether the women will use
their newly. acquired ...big stick the
voting privilege--fo any appreciable
degree in the coming election, and for
their answer they need only to look
to the organizations that are sending
out citizenship courses where women
learn about government and what a
vote should mean. They will tell him
that thousands Of women all over the
land, many Of, whom are not allied
with any organization, are making the
study of political issues daily thing
Any good old politician will tell you
how dangerous it is when a voter be-
gins to think fer himself, and the
women are thinking. The women are
thinking for themselves and won't turn
the privilege over to husband. brother;
father, or son once the way is pointed
out to her.
Generally speaking, the woman is for
protective laws for women, except when
they interfere with her own particular
case. and woe unto the party she can
blame for any inconyeninece to her.
Back goes the Qoffee pot on the stove
and breakfast is delayed while she goes

vital issues before the country. Once
the woman sees the ballot as means
Of good national housekeeping the

---she will not fail to use it.
There is one issue on which the
women Of the country are. practically
united as whole, and that is that
some kind Of constructive child labor
amendment be writtenfin into the consti-
tuition of the United States. Most of
the womenys organizations sponsor or
favor some legislation Of this type. All
believe in some protective legislation
which win safeguard the health, men
tai fiber and vitality of the growing
generation.
That such legislation is needed can
readily be seen. In America more than
l 100000 children are working, some
OF them under most shocking condi-
fions. Children in sweat shops: child
miners 4 child, workers in canneries; in
sugar beet industries, and children toy
makers losing their play hours to make
more fortunate children happy by their
product.
Another problem close to. the femi-
nine heart is that of the establishment
Of uniform divorce law.
Still another home problem or rather
one which affects the home is that of
immigration. American women feel very
keenly the responsibility of keeping the
racial strain clean. Women generally
favor Secretary Davis plan for the
registration Of aliens. Law enforce
ment is of keen interest to women, and
it is doubtful if any woman would vote
for any plan to revoke the Volstead
