POLICE ARE CONVINCED
SHORES CLUE WORTHLESS
Believe Underhill Misconstrued
Statement Regarding RiePs
Presence at Hospital.

After running out all possible
angles arising from statements by
George w. Underhill, private in the
medical division at Walter Reed Hos
pital, yesterday, connecting Francis
Leon Riel. former patient there, with
the death of Russell Shores, sentry,
who was found dead near his post
last October %, police dropped the
investigation last night in the belief
that there was nothing to warrant
further efforts on their part.
Riel is alleged to have identified
himself to Underhill by stating that
he had been at Walter Reed Hospital
when Shores was killed. The con-
struction placed thereon by Underhill
in repeating the statement to the
police led Detectives Darnah and
Springmann to probe the statements
until they were convinced that Riel
was merely in the hospital as a pa
tient at the time, as he claimed, and
nothing more. Inspector c. L. Grant
stated today he was satisfied there
was nothing tangible in the state
ment of Underhill to necessftate
further investigation.

OF her production, the performance Of
Carmen" at Polls Theater yesterday
afternoon was satisfactory entertain
ment To lovers of the eloquent mu-
sic of Georges BiZet and the traditions
of the true opera. Carmen" the per-
formance was nothing short of a sac
rilegious travesty Undoubtedly the
popularity of both star and opera
drew the audience that filled the
house TO capacity.
The production is listed as an op-
cratic fantasy based on the. story by
Prosper Merinee, with music by
Georges Bizet. 1t is developed in three
short acts with novel back drops Civ
ing simple, yet fantastic, settings in
rich colors for the gorgeous ''un- Car
men" costumes of the actors Miss
Farrar is an Inspiring vision as a
wearer of original and beautiful cos
tunes Her personality dominates the
performance even though Mercedes is
given two of Garments big songs to
sing. Miss Farrar gives Carmen the
artificial vulgarity of a rich fool and
not the honest vulgarity of the Gig.

velvets and gold fringe, she smirks
and saunters through the "Habenera";
sheathed in creamy white satin with

Any one taking the operas librett'

BALDWIN SPEECH
SCORES TRIUMPH
Plea for Industrial Peace
C0ntrasted to Gladstone
Strategy.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, March Premier Bald
| wins remarkable speech in the House
of Commons yesterday, when he made
an earnest appeal for industrial peace
and declined to use his big parlia-
mentary majority to achieve a polti-
cal success, was the subject of keen
discussion today.
AT the premier's behest the house
formally rejected the trades union
political fund bill. which would have
freed Conservative and Liberal trade
unionists from the requirement, under
the trade union act of 1918, of con-
tributing to fund used for the sup
port of the Labor party
Although the premier's attitude dis
gruntled a few of his own followers
and was dubbed by some of his op-
ponentS as d piece of opportunist
strategy, the speech made a big i'm
preston upon the house. particularly
the Laborites, and was the subject of
animated praise in the Hobbies.
Speech Like GIadstone's.
1t was. not a great feat of oratory,
such as those which made Gladstone
and other parliamentary spellbinders fa-
nous, but, instead, an earnest. homely
and at times even emotional plea
for good viii and cooperation in the
was a sequel to the speech the pre-
mier delivered at Birmingham the
previous evening. in which he stress
ed the hopelessnesS of attempting a
common task In an atmosphere of
"diabolic suspicion between man and
man"
The press today is extremely eulo-
CYSTIC, declaring that the speech not
only vastly enhanced the premiers
reputation and hold on the Conserva-
1--WE party, but surpassed in interest
and Importance anything heard in the
house OF Commons in many years.
This editorial praise is not confined
to the Conservative newspap pers, but
| is lavishly bestowed by some of the
Liberal organs. Thus, the Liberal
Daily News says:
1t was a very great personal tri-
umph and much the best speech Mr..
Baldwin ever made. 1t is very diff
cult to conceive any speech on such
a subject which could have been
better"
