News of the Minneapolis martial
law has reached France. Cabling
from Paris, Mr.. Leon Abbey, or
chestra conductor. son of Mr..
and Mrs. Luther Abbey of Ala
E. 25th street, expresses his
anxiety for the safety of his par
ents. Evidently reports reaching
abroad have exaggerated local
troubles. Young Abbey and his
orchestra have been travelling in
Europe for the past several years.
At present the band is playing in
Paris. Success, however, has not
dimmed the memories of home and
he is planning a return to the
states at an early date.
