across Michigan since Hooper

NOT THE SOLUTION
Sigler said himself it was not
the solution of the Hooper case,
but was one of the steps toward
it developed by staff of De-
troit and state police, aided by
Prosecutor Murl X. Aten of
Jackson county and James j..
Dunn of Calhoun county.

Sigler and the state police have
made no secret of their belief
Hooper was killed to close his
mouth.
The special prosecutor charg-
ed that the conspiracy existed
between Dec. 2, 1914, and the
day following the murder. He
asserted, also, that part of the

made in Calhoun county, hence
the issuance of the warrant and

A crowd estimated at 1000
persons janfmed Mount Clemens
High School auditorium last
evening to hear the Spring Ser
enade, concert presented by
more than 500 students of vocal
and instrumental music in the
public schools.
The curtain lifted at 8 o'clock
for the Star Spangled Banner

combined chorus, accompanied
by the high school orchestra,
an effective picture against the
striking backdrop of golden
birds against huge red and
gold flower. The backdrop and
programs were the work Of
Kathleen Racine and her art
classes in the high school.
The orchestra program opened
with the swinging rythm Of
Romberg's "Stout-Hearted Men"
and proceeded to the Salute
to the United Nations" which
brought out the full accomplish
ment of the group. Other num-
bers were the novelty Jazz
Pizzicato" which made hit
with the audience, the Mexican
Overture" an outstanding num-
Der, and THE Man ! Love-
Margaret Simpsons direction
of the group was excellent.
CHORUS WELL TRAINED
The Elementary School Choir
us of about 800 voices was
splendidly trained by Lois Har-
per, assisted by elementary
teachers. and the group obvious
ly enjoyed their songs. "Chiap-
anecas", the Mexican clapping
s ne, was the brisk opener, con-
trasting with the smooth mel
ody in Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes"
The chorus grasp of the rhy-
thu Of Beautiful Dreamer"
was noticeable, and the Pref
eel Peddler" with its catchy
tune won much applause. The
closing feature of the chorus
United Nations group was Mer-
ny Life" with a poised young
six-year-old, Dicky Mason, as
soloist. Dicky is la student
at Wilson school.
The A Cappella Choir opened
its group with a smoothly sung
number. "Emitte Spiritum
Tuum", which was followed by
a double octet arrangement of
Gilbert and Sullivan song. dis
by several good solo
passages. The full choir return
ed for a Brahms number and
spiritual crisply done. Alice S.
Wright is the effective director
of these groups.
The orchestra played the ac-
compartment for the "Air De
Ballet, danced by a group of
E, genia' Stepkowska's pupils,
strikingly costumed and form
ing a nice touch on the program.

Surprise Move Causes
Owner George Marshall
To Walk Out
By JERRY LISKA

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-(AP)
The national football league
today adjourned its winter
meeting until April in a sur
prise move that caused a
walkout by owner George
Marshall of the Washington
Redskins from an executive
session.
Representatives from every club
except Washington agreed to meet
again, probably the first week OF
April, at New York to hold their
annual player draft and arrange
l945 schedules.
Although the delegates declined
to amplify a brief of their ad-
journment which came on the
second day of a. scheduled four
day meeting, it was apparent the
league was unwilling to make
definite plans in view Of the pro.
posed national work draft and
breakdown of At men.
Marshall, holding out for a com.
pleted meeting at the present time
walked out before an adjournment
vote, contending his disagreement
made the action unconstitutional
since the league bylaws require
a unanimous vote to change a
meeting date.
Commissioner Elmer Layden as.
serted there was no rule violation
because the meeting was held as
scheduled the rules committee
met yesterday in the opening ses-
sion-and then adjourned.
While Marshall jocularly brush.
ed aside questions regarding his
possible attendance at tn New
York meeting with II guess I'll
have to look for a new league,
it was expected he would be on
hand when the owners convene
again.
