A - SISTER DISCLAIMS SCHROEDER LETTER Widow of Missing Man Keeps Mystery Messages Con- tents Secret. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 13— Sheriff George L. Winkler of Marion County last night quoted Mrs. Lynn L. Sams of Elkhart, Ind., sister of Harold H. Schrocder, as saying she did not write a special delivery letter which Schroeder'’s wife at Mobile, Ala, re- ported receiving, May 31. : Schroeder has been missing since that date, when his automobile and a body in it, were found burning on a road near here. Police have expressed be- Hef that the body is not that of Schroeder. Mrs. Schroeder was reported to have told Chief of Police Warren F. Burch, at Mobile, that the Indianapolis letter was from Mrs. Sams. Mobile authorities plan to question Mrs. Schroeder also about two letters she said she received from Naghville, Tenn. Mrs. Sams also revealed, the sherift said, that on June 4 her husband tele- graphed Mrs. Schroeder asking for her husband's description and what he was wearing, but that the Mobile woman refused to give the information in a Teply by telegraph. Mrs. Schroeder, according to Mobile dispatches, has declined to reveal the contents of the letters. MUSIC LISA GARDINER'S DANCES. Lisa Gardiner, a Wachingtonian and £ member of the Arts Club of this city, gave a recital of five dances in com- pliment to members of the club in the new auditorium last night. Miss Gardiner’s work is not only known by its distinguished background of thor= ough training and professional experi- ence with Pavlowa and Fokine, but also by constant and serious study since then in Europe with famous exponents of | various types of dancing. The first number last night, “Taglioni, 1847, a8 reminiscent of that famous dancer, who created the Tomantic ballet. The costume was of white tarletan, such as Degas loved to paint, and inci- dentally Taglioni’s own invention. The music was a Chopin waltz. Chopin was a cotemporary of this dancer and an ardent admirer of her art. The grace of the dance, with exquisite light= ect, made an instant appeal. second number was a polka, done Strauss music, in a fetching costume of 1880. As Mrs. Gerrit Miller, jr., hostess of the evening, said in one of her brief comments that preceded each dance, this ol nioned dance once swept’ the balircoms of our grand- mothers with a furore comparable, in intensity at least, to the recent in- vasion of the Black Bottom. The in- terpretation as given by Miss Gardiner was a very individualized adaptation of the polka and a charming performance. The next number, “The Cat” by was no less effective and per- haps more clever, Garbed in a tight- fitting princess costume, the dancer carried out her interpretation of a cat’s movements and attitudes. “Restraint,” done to the music of the modern French composer, Satle, made an entirely different demand in the interpretative art. The closing number was a Spanish gypsy dance. ‘The background for this was decidedly atmosphered by large, attractive Span- polka-dotted costume, green comb and green slippers all aided effectively the Teal Andalusian music. ; Alice Hunter, at the piano, was an elert accompanist. There were times, however, that stringed instrument ac- companiment might have been, more appropriate. Also it seemed unfortu- nate that the better of the club’s two planos was not used on this occasion. Already the club’s new auditorium has such large, enthusiastic audiences that they have outgrown its capacity and many stood last night. P. M. C. HAMLINE SCHOOL PROGRAM. A program of vocal music was given by the advanced students of the Ham- line School of Music, John H. Mar- ville, director, at Hamline Methodist Episcopal Church last night. The work of these students showed the effects of careful training and their poise and e were good. Hil g part in the program ‘were Mi s Stanton, Irene Finch Wolz, M ssler Dobbins, Rachel Shearer Edwards, Lois Little, Leonard R. Davis, Earl H. Brown, John Murphy, Bormas N. Leef and Herry Granville ef. The composers represented on the program _wefe, with others, Handel, Verdi, Massenet, Puccini, Coleridge- Taylor, Dell' Acqua®and Arditi. Edith B. Athey, organist of the church, played two solos, and accom- panied one vocal number on the organ. Mr. Marville was at the piano for the remainder of the program. Miss Athey needs no introducticn to Washington musiclans, her splendid work as civic organist several years ago being well remembered. Her numbers last evening were the “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor,” by Bach, and the “Allegro Giloiso,” by Dethier. These were splen- didly done, especially the Bach, which was played with a refreshingly clean- cut technique. R. W. S. Piano Called Temperamental.

By the Assoclated Press. ‘The throbbing pulse of American city life, measured by the blinking of semi- phores, the shrill of the traffic cop's whistle, continues to quicken. Already 1930 census returns are suffi- cient to show that a larger and larger percentage of the population tends to concentrate on great urban centers of 100,000 or more population, where hus- tling humanity is so thick it has to move on the “stop” and “go” signs. ‘Ten years ago the man who loved the milling mobs had his choice of three citles of more than a million in- habitants. Now he has five. Ten years ago milady, lured by the matinee, by shopping in the huge de- partment store with bargains in the GOING T0 BIG CITIES - basement and & tea room on the se: enth floor, could enjoy herself in 68 different urban centers of more than 100,000. ‘This year she is certain of 87 such citles as scope for her “buying wer.” Forty years ago 15.4 cent of the American people chose live in cities of more than 100,000. Thirty years ago 18.7 per cent manifested such a choice. ‘Twenty years ago it had raised to 22.1 By 1920 more than one-fourth the population, 25.9 per cent, were big-city dwellers. This census is sure to see a commensurate rise. For the 78 cities of more than 100,000 already reported totaled 24,177,977 in- habitants. And if the missing New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati, Denver, Columbus, Louisville, St. Paul and Albany reports do not show a single increase, but are added in their 1920 figures, the total would be 33,833,528. $10,000 Gorilla Ends Long Trip.

Ritchie of Maryland sald in a banquet speech last night that prohibition in the United States had placed burdens on Canada which one nation should not expect another to assume. “International good will cannot be furthered by a situation which requires that the United States must ask a neighbor to adopt laws with the sole object of helping her to enforce her own,” he added. The governor said the general upward revision of the tariff that bids fair shortly to become law in the United States would defeat its own object through {ts unfortunate effect upon other nations of the world. - ‘The banquet marked the close of the international Shriners’ convention.
