Jazz Will Invade Sacred Shrine of Music in Paris By the Associated Press. PARIS May 1.—When the Paris musical world learned that jazz had invaded the Metropolitiian Opera House in New York, there was considerable tilting of noses with the feeling that no such profana tion was possible within the “National Academy of Music” as the Paris Opera House is called. Now it has been announced by Comedia_ officials that Paul White- man’s band of American Jjazz artists ‘will give two concerts at the opera Louse during the Jatter vart of June.

SQUABBLE DELAYS CHICAGD INQUEST Probe Postponed Until Tues- day—Three Machine-Gun Victims Buried. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, May 1.—The bodies of three machine-gun victims of Chi- cago's internecine gang and liquor- running warfare—the ninetieth, nine- ty-first and ninety-second within three ars—were laid to rest today. It was conceded that four days of police vestigation had accomplished nothing, | and officials and civic Jeaders squab- bled as to the method of investigation. The coroner’s jury of six prominent y and, on of two hours behind closed doors, it was announced that the beginning of the inquest had been postponed until Tuesday, the day after that set for the calling of a spe- cial grand jury, with Robert E. Crowe, the State’s attorney, as the of- ficer in charge of the presentation of evidence, Oscar Wolff, the coroner, announced after the jury of inquest had dis- banded that the first taking of testi- mony had been postponed because of the illness of John J. Healy, former State's attorney, who had been re- quested to serve as the coroner’s personal counsel during the inquir From other quarters, it was unde stood, however, that Healy had de. clined to serve because he felt that his participation might give the in- quest a political tinge. He is a law associate of Charles Deneen, Unite States senator fe Illinois, who headed a Republican faction in opposition to that led by Crowe in the recent primary. Judge William V. Brothe acting tice of the criminal court, ed the call for the special grand jury upon petition of Mr. Crowe, with whom he is politically allied, was in conference with Coroner Wolff and the jury. Wolff sai Juge Brothers was asked about testimony the judge had ruled out at a recent trial. As offered by Patrick O’'Donnell, an attorney, it was declared to be a revelation of the connection of at least 300 policemen with the notorious Genna gang of illicit liquor handlers. Harry Eugene Kelly, head of the Non-Partisan League Club, main- tained his contention today that the special grand jury as called by Prosecutor Crowe did not “fill the bill.” and stated that the agreement of the State Attorney General, Oscar Carlstrom, to confer with Crowe to- morrow night, ties the State nflicial'sl hands. i Take It or Leave It. He said Mr. Carlstrom either should take full charge or remain entirely aloof. Mr. Kelly contended; that, as called, the special grand jury certainly would not_investigate “Mr. Crowe’s office, nor Mr. Crowe himself. Alex V. Korecek, hardware dealer, who, after two days of incessant i terrogation, admitted he had sold three machine guns to gangsters whom_ he could identify, remained in custody willingly today, rather than try to obtain his liberty upon a writ of habeas corpus. He promised to tell today the names of the pur- chas but, bolstered by a night's rest, again had closed his lips. In the last rites for the victims today un- usual honors were pald William arold McSwiggin, the youthful as- ant State’s attorney, who has achieved a remarkable record for ef- ficiency. He was buried with the highest church and full military honors. Too young to serve in the World War, he | had been an officer in the Student Training Corps. Leaders of Chicago officialdom and business and political life joined in the tribute. The funerals for James J. Doherty, gangster and saloon man, and Thomas Duffy, saloon Keeper, killed with McSwij gin, were less ostentatious. “Scar-Face” Sought. Al “Scarface” Caproni, reputed un- derworld ruler of Cicero, the adjoining West Side suburb, in which the three men were slain, and Myles and “Klon- dyke” O'Donnell, brothers and reputed leaders of a faction disputing for the Caproni control, were the outstanding | names on the police list of those sought for the triple killing. The O'Donnells were believed to ve been with McSwiggin, Doherty and Duffy, and possibly to have been wounded. While ‘the McSwiggin killing was still in the spotlight of the city’s crime stage, another South Side associate liquor gangsters, Martin Garrity, as “taken for a ride” and his body was found in an alley in the southern fringe of the city. The police said Garrity had paid the price for “knowing too much." He had been a hanger-on at a saloon whose bartender was one of three men held while the actual killers were sought. 1 —— HISTORIC NEW YORK.PLAY HOUSE TO CLOSE TONIGHT Academy of Music, Built in 1854, to Give Way to 24-Story Office Building.
