Department of justice men are
flying to Springfield to check finger
prints on the abandoned car, it was
learned.
Authorities faced a multiplicity of
leads as the hunt for Robinson
spread over four states.
A Robinson suspect was chased on
North Meridian street here last
night by two radio policemen when
they saw a parked car bearing Illi-
nois license plates 331-700 for which
they had been warned to look.
Earlier today, Robinson was re-
ported een at Elkhart, Ind, in a
Chrysler car with Indiana license

Radio patrolmen Fred Stevens and
William Martin were cruising north
on Meridian street shorty after 7
last night and saw a suspicious APP
pearing car parked in front of the
Antlers.
1t was headed south and PATROL
man Stevens was sure it bore the
same license number as that given
all police at the afternoon roll call.
When Stevens leaped from the
police car, the man believed to have
been Robinson threw his car into
gear and sped south, driving through
a red traffic light at North street.
He "a lost in traffic by the time
police turned around and headed in
pursuit. Stevens did not see the
driver clearly, he said.
The department of justice search
in Indiana also turned to Attica, in
Fountain county. on the report that
Robinson, accompanied by another
man. stopped there late yesterday
afternoon and ate.
Positive of Identification
The waitress in a restaurant there
and a man who was eating were
positive they recognized Robinson.
The suspect, they said, ate while the
other man paced the sidewalk out
side. The other nan was described
as older, shorter and much heavier
than Robinson and walked with .
limp.
Police also checked on a report
that Robinson was seen about 8
last night at Twenty-second and
Meridian streets. A man who resides
in the neighborhood and who knew
Robinson as Kennedy, the name
under which he passed at the kid
naping hideout at Twenty-eighth
and Meridian streets. reported TO
police he had seen Robinson.
He said he met Robinson as he
came out of the Haag drug store at
Twenty-second and Meridian streets
and that Robinson walked west on
Twenty-second street.

1t Is difncult to believe, after listen
ing to yesterdays performance, that
all the months Of work and the steady
advance in artistic finish that the
orchestra shows will be allowed to
go to waste for the sake Of the small
sum still needed to guarantee another
season for the orchestra. Every one
who has enjoyed these concerts must
feel that what has been accomplished
in the past three years is too fine to do
without and regret that each year the
orchestra must beg again for the
means to go on. 1t must be humiliat-
ing for these men to feel that having
given Of their best they have never
theless not advanced sufficiently in
the public regard to have their place
in the musical life Of the city assured
by unanimous acclaim. 1t is to be
hoped that this is the last season that
the orchestra will have to ask for
funds, but that In the future the
orchestra will be placed on q sound
basis so that their work will not have
the character Of being q from-year-
to-year affair.
The program Of yesterdays concert
opened with the delightful overture
which Mozart wrote for his famous
opera, the Magic Flute" Dr. Kinder
gave 1t particularly sympathetic read

Franck's Symphony in D Minor"

years ago, the best war picture
One of the reasons why you will
want to see it again is to see how
times and the players have changed,
yet how steadfast in principal and
loyal to the cause of peace the film
remains. Since Lewis Milestone di-
rected this picture, Lew Ayres has be-
come a more or less typical Holly
wood actor; Owen Davis, jr., has pat
on pounds and is well known as a
Broadway juvenile; Scott Kolk has
played here in local night clubs-and
many of the other boys" are now
ulustrious sons of the cinema.
The change in Mr.. Ayres is the
most obvious, and rather wicked
one at that, since his work in "All
Quiet" Is still the best work he has
ever done. That scene at the bedside
of Kemmerich (Ben Alexander), the
boy whose leg has been amputated, is
Q moving, deft bit of acting, and
throughout he is completely natural
and persuasive, something that he has
forgotten occasionally since then.
There is little Use chronicling the
events of the picture. You know the
book and you should know the film.
The subject IS, youth in war, as also
the futility of war, and you will find
that the audience applauds even more
vigorously now than it did four years
ago when Louis Wolheim, trying to
solve the mystery of war, says that
the way it should be settled is by
putting kings and cabinets and poll
ticians in small ring, give them
gloves and a pair of fighting trousers
and then let them battle it out for
themselves. That suggestion has al
ways tickled the public, possibly be-
cause the thought of Mr.. Ghandi
taking poke at some of his CONT
mental contemporaries is rather
nice thought.
