ABANDONED

Police today turned away from
the investigation into the drowning
OF Bernard Murdie, 80. World War
veteran. whose body was found
floating in the Tidal Basin Sunday
afternoon and resigned the case to
the list OF unsolved mysteries.
The secret Of Murdie's drowning,
police believe, lies locked in his own
cold lips. The tides OF mystery
have obliterated every clue leading
to the tragedy. Nothing whatever
Is known of the veterans last days.

flu IN j. 5. IS
PREVALENT.

While there are an unusually
large number of ''flu' and pneu-
monia cases throughout the coun-
try the situation does not approach
N seriousness the nationwide cpl
demic that engulfed the country
5uring the war years Of 1918,
surg. Gen. Hugh S. Cumming, of
the United States Public Health
Service, in for m international
News Service today.
With the winter season nearly
ended. the prospect of the Flu
reaching an epidemic Is somewhat
remote, DIR. Cumming said.
Enthusiastically there is great
deal of flu in many sections OF
the country, but in most cases 1t
is of a mild type and readily yields
to treatment" Cumming said, Pneu-
monia is also prevalent in many
places and is frequently fatal.
while reports to the Public
Health Service on the prevalence OF
flu are somewhat fragmentary, be-
cause in many places this disease
is not a. reportable one, we do know
there is little likelihood Of a nation
wide epidemic
Cumming declared, however, that
the situation calls for intelligent
cooperation on the part of the pub
lie. Overcrowding, he said, is one
of the most potent methods Of
spreading influenza.
"If one has a severe cold or has
developed a temperature, the wisest
course is to remain at home in bed
in a properly ventilated room until
the temperature has raised or the
cold is better" he said.
Use of masks where many per-
sons were gathered in close work
ing quarters is also a good proven
tive for flu contagion, Cumming

Aged Gothic Tapestries
of Value Found in Attic

VENICE, Mar. 6.--Ten early Gothic
tapestries, estimated to be worth
$2,OOO,0OO have been found in the
upper attic of st. Marks Cathedral
by DR.. Phyllis Ackerman and Pro-
fessor Arthur Upham Pope, advisory
curator in Mahammedan art to the
Chicago Art Institute.
The two Americans were searching
for gold and silver carpets given
to the Doges of Venice by the shahs
of Persia when they discovered the
tapestries hidden. under coarse bur
lap hangings.
They illustrate the passion of
Christ and We're designed by Jean
Gossert, a painter of Tourney, and
woven by Robert Dairy, long famous
as the weaver of the Gideon tapes
tries for the Duke of Burgundy.
DR.. Ackerman is of the opinion
the tapestries We're made about 1890
She pointed out that they have bor-
bers, an important feature, as it
hitherto has been assumed that early
tapestries were without borders.
Another unusually is the use of a
shade of rich violet and black back
grounds against which the strong
reds and greens of the costumes
stand out vividly, DIR. Ackerman

journal. The set obviously was made

Tennesseeans Would Erect
Memorial to Explorer Lewis.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March e.
Leading Tennesseeans pIan to APP
peal to congress for an appropriation
to assist in erecting lasting monu-
ment to the memory Of Meriwether
Lewis, the explorer of the northwest,
who is buried six miles east Of
Hohenwald, Tenn.
Tentative specifications are for a
dome-shaped monument, similar to the
famous domed- tomb which towers
above the graves of General Andrew
Jackson and his wife, Rachel.
The dome, supported by Grecian
columns, each representing one Of
the states of the Louisiana purchase,
is planned to shield the dilapidated
old monument over the grave of
Lewis which was erected by the state
of Tennessee many years ago with
an appropriation Of $500.
About the old shrine also would oe
