"He looks like he's trying to ap-
pear unconscious the warden said.

morning of being allowed to bid his
fellow prisoners on Death Row good
bye. AS he finished shaking hands
with each prisoner, he asked his
keeper who accompanied him, A. O.
Honeycutt, for postcard to write a
last message.
The keeper said he handed him the
card, turned around to put them away
and when he turned back Grier was
running up the steps. The Negro ran

UNDERGROUND
WALKS TOAD
PEDESTRIAN
This Is the third OF series OF
articles on proposals for SutDGyS
in the District of Columbia.
By JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN

BY JOHN DEAN MALLAOAN
Among the four types of sub
ways suggested for Washington
the most recently proposed. is g
series of underground walks fol
pedestrians at strategic intersec
tions In the downtown area.
The purpose, of course, is tc
provide pedestrians with a safe
method of crossing the street. Be
sides this, however, the plan has
elements of utility in connection
with future development OF sub
ways for trolleys.
One Of the most important bene
fits of underground trolleys would
be the elimination of street cars
from such arteries, perhaps, as
Pennsylvania Avenue, F Street and
Fourteenth Street. These thor.
oughfares, and a large portion OF
the downtown area, would then De
left to motor and pedestrian travel
Reduce Tie-UpS
Installation of pedestrian walk
unders at the most dangerous in
tersections would greatly reduce
the chances of traffic tie-upS and
accidents between pedestrians and
automobiles.
The subject Of underground
walks for pedestrians was recently
aired at a meeting Of the House
District Committee, during sessions
in which traffic congestion here
was studied. Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer was among
those testifying at the hearing.
Three intersections were dis
cussed as sites for the under
passes: Fifteenth st. and New
York Ave-, Twelfth st. and Penn
sylvania Ave. and Thirteenth st.
and Pennsylvania Ave.
Used In Other Cities
Observers believe this number
of underpaSses is insufficient, and
mention such other hazardous in
tersections as Fourteenth st. and
New York Ave-, Ninth and F,
Seventh and F. several points
along G St. and Fourteenth and F
In several cities underground
walks for pedestrians already
have been constructed. A notable
example in New York city. where
passes under the Grand ConcourSe
in the Bronx and other streets
have long been in use.
Another article on proposals for
subways in the District Of COlum'
hia will appear tomorrow in The

Metropolitan 0 er a
Quartet Scores in
Fine Program

The concert Of the Metropolt-
tan Opera Quartet was given
last night in Constitution Hall
with such variety Of ensemble, in
dividual artistry and personality,
that the audience gave a ire.
mendous demonstration of ap-
probation.
The climax of each part Of
the program came when the four
singers joined forces in the
Garden Scene" from "FauSt"
(Gounod) and the quartet from
"Rigoletto' (VerdD. Eight other
solos and duets were listed on
the program, yet with due re-
spect for these pieces. the audi
ence expected, and would have
appreciated more Of the fun
quartet numbers.
Probably the most striking fea-
lures of the concert lie in the
freshness of all the voices, the
purity of tone, the carrying
quality, the apparent lack Of et-
fort, and no hint Of fatigue.
Rose Bampton's voice with its
wide range and dramatic quality
was fully equal to the demands
Of aria pace, Pace. Mic Die"
from La Fora del Destino"
CVerdD, and she responded with
an aria from "Herodiade" MAS
sanet).
Richard Bonelli gave convinc-
ing rendition Of the. "roreador
Song" from Carmen" (BizeO ,
displaying more volume than he
used during the quartet numbers.
AS an encore, he sang an air
from lie roi de Lahore" MAS
sanet). Charles Hackett's inter
probation of III Mic Tesoro,". from
Don Giovanni" (Mozart) which
brought such an enthusiastic re-
ception that he gave two encores,
In mezo al mar" Qtalian folk
song), and II Hear You Singing,
in English. (Coates).
The coloratura passages Of "Ah
Fors e lui from LA Traviata," J"
(VerdD were negotiated with re-
markable clearnesS, flexibility and
true pitch by Helen Jepson. In
response she sang, Hey, Diddle,
Diddle," (H. Hughes), and an aria
from LES Files de cadiz."
(Delibes). In the duet from
"Lakme," (Delibes), Mines. Jepson
and hampton joined voices in q
most sympathetic manner that
evoked renewed applause, in re-
sponse to which they sang the
"Barcarolle from "Tales of Hoff-
man." (Offenbach), part Of
which was repeated.
The first theme Of one measure
in triple rythm gives an idea OF
one of the main themes Of the
FESTIVAL Of Bagdad" from the
"Scheherazade," suite by RimSky-
Korsakow, which will be heard
this afternoon at the young peo-
ples' free conSert to: be given by

The second theme shown is
repeated from the previous move
ment, the young Prince and the

movement opens with the Sche-
herazade theme in triple rhythm
answered by the stern voice Of the
Sultan. The movement continues
with arabeSque dance rhythmS,
the cries Of fakirs, the hubbub OF
the market-place, camels STEP
ping, perfumes, spices and other
odors-a lively Oriental scene.
The scene changes to Sinbad'S
ship: there is a storm; the ship
is wrecked; the Sultan is so in
terested in the stories of Scheher-
azade that he speaks kindly to
her and repudiates his bloody
vow to do away with his wife.

Conflicting Claims On Spain's War
 Received
fBy The Associated Press)

UNDATED, Oct. 5, - Proud confusing claims of strategic vic tory from both sides, made a question mark of the heart of the war in the Madrid sector.
 The government contended it's militiamen ragged down the main highway southwest of Madrid, taking the Maqueda junction and then fought westward to a point near Santa Olallo, which, if true, would have severed the main in- surgent supply line from the fas- cist base at Talavera de la Reina.
 Insurgents stated their southern flanking column took Illescas and cut the southern supply line to Madrid of the defenders, at a point p miles south of the capi- tai, and then cut toward Naval Carnero, which if seized, would cut off the militiamen.
 The insurgents by wireless, warned foreign shipping they might shell all of the southern and eastern ports from Malaga to Barcelona without notice.
