G. YV. Stevens, naval attache, and General V. Harts, military attache, followed tho hearse in carriages. Three men of the color guard of the American Legion's Paris post served as a guard of honor and stood at attention in front of the Cathedral when the body was brought out.

The only thing in the nature of flowers or wreaths which was as-cepted to accompany the body was a silver palm inscribed "The City of Paris to His Excellency Myron T. Herrick." It was presented by Louis Aucoc In the name of the city council. Capt. Abreal of the cruiser Tour- liner nor more colorful group of band numbers could have been grouped together. Each one a favorite, cadi a certain hit, Conductor Meyers whose frenius in this ganl lias ere this manifested itself, demonstrated a showmanship comparable with tliat if the great man of radio and of motion pictures himself.

Mr. Meyers "oriiTuct'-'d the two numbers on the-program with his customary skill and precision. That moving and compelling enm-position. "March Slav," by opened the program. All the exotic spell-binding of primitive passions, the progress onward and upward from the cirpths of long oppressed peoples is to In- found in this ery wonderful piece of muvical writing.

Voluminous, yf strident, son -rous yet melodious, ora iitnl vet Mental, this inuny-ided oms proved one of the very t'mrst things of the evening and the memory of it was not eclipsed by the many other good things that followed. From the steppes of Russia, the band then took its auditors to another colorful locale, "A Persian Market," by Ketelbey. This inter- sting story of a day amidst the Jieoples and the, customs of a land which distance has lent enehanl ment western eyes, was presented with r.ll the atmosphere inherent in its ubject. At this point the fatuous "Roxy" appeared on the stage with his contagions "Hello, Everybody." Sug-(testing that here was an opportunity, for his listem rs to "talk bach," Jie repeated it and a great chorus "Hello. Row" was the response.

Roxy thereupon feeling thoroughly home stepped into the dual role of conductor unci muster of cere-Jllpriies. Facet remarking that if they should fail to get through 4, he program, it would not be the Jiand's fault, he stepped upon the oestrum ana procet uoit to connuci ie band in that very famous com position, "i'oiiip and Circumstance." ti Just as there is, only one Roxy, this master iinpressario of cinema Eiy-scntation is inimitable in his mailer of conducting musicians. There Jt; force and power that arouses like in the way he swings the baton. He eemed at every moment to be demanding and getting every last bit effort tmd musicianship from the before him. Jin then introduced that master frumpeter, Piedro Ca pidefft to, of the jRoxy and Metropolitan opera orchestras, who played that "ivar-lorse" of trumpet solos, "The Pyra-Tpirls," by Liberati.

The applause jtliat greeted his effort was deafening. There was no question that Piedro nail scored to a degree in keeping $Fith his fame and talents. Roxy's own composition. "Through Ijie Air" was the next offering and gpHvell was it liked that it had to be repeated. The suite, "Peer Gynt," by Greig, the piece de resistance in its four movements was played in exquisite lylc.

The band and conductor were Wri luck" because they did reach the $xirth movement, and Roxy didn't need the baton either dispensing with fit 3n favor of only his very hands that now cajoled, then commanded snd again inspired the fittnost that the members of the fa-fhous Allentown band could give fiirn. A. delightful variation came with fhe offering by Yascha Runchuk, first Cellist, of the Roxy symphony, who Iayed "Berceause," by Jarnefelt and Scherzo." by Von Goenz. In introducing Mr. Eunchuk, Roxy said many flattering things, all of which were Ifiore than deserved.

Bunchuk, said Roxy, was a Rus-dan emigrant lad who set about as Jlis first objective on coming to America, the acquisition of citizenship. His certificate to this effect is Jjis proudest possession. The instrument he used was the gift of a Russian nobleman and cost fifty thousand dollars. As a very special favor, "Trau-tnerie" was given as an extra num-fcer at Roxy's Instigation. It was a ppecial favor, indeed.

Prof. Warren F. Acker accompanied Mr. Bunchuk In his two first jh umbers. The overture, "William Tell," by Jlossinl, that standby of band concert programs, brought the evening to a fitting- close, musically, with Roxy offering a postlude in which he told in interesting' fashion of the theatre and Its organization In New York fvfr which he is the presiding genius.

GRAVY is more appetizing and easier to digest when seasoned with LEA PERRINSV SAUCE Mrs. Ross, -who formerly was Miss year, went ashore. She returned to the Ross residence in New York by train. That night the Nomad ran into a heavy 'gale, according to statements attributed to Ross. The blow contin-; ued, and while Captain Schofield was endeavoring to put the boat in shape to weather the storm, he sud denly vanished.

Members of the crew, Richard J. Franch and Henry Bush, who gave their addresses as New York City, sought to sae Captain Schofield's life by throwing life preservers into the sea. But the captain was lost. i they said, before he could grasp any of them. The Nomad then proceeded as best she could, flying her distress signal, but at the mercy of the elements.

It was while in that condition that Ensign Anderson noticed her. He attempted to get in touch i with the Nomad by radio, but failed to receive a response. No attempt was made by anyone to conceal the presence of liquor aboard the Nomad, according to the coast guardsmen. They said they found bottles of both whiskey and champagne rolling about on the floor. Chief Customs Agent Green said tonight that the government authorities would seek to learn "whether Captain Schofield met his death as a result of a drunken orgy." He indicated a full investigation would be demanded.

Ross comes of an old and distinguished New Jersey family. He is a son of the late P. Sanford Ross, of Newark. His first wife. Mrs.

Parthenia Burke Ross, of Madison, N. obtained a divorce on February lfrjs. Two days later Ross married Miss Clairmonte in Washington. Ross bought the Nomad in 192o. She is a 100-footer, and was equipped as a pleasure craft.

CANADA TO PROTEST SINKING OF I'M ALONE (Continued from, Page One) L'nited States and Great Britain and is binding on Canada. A number of divergent views are held by officials of the two governments on jjust what points the treaty covers and it has been known for some time that both the British and Canadian governments, in connection with previous rum running incidents, have been anxious to discuss the divergent points with the Americans. Tonight state department officials said that s6 far the formal representations have not been received by the department. The Canadian legation said that the only move it has made in the case was the inquiry several days ago by the Canadian minister, Vincent Massey, for information regarding the incident. Thero has been an inclination during the past few days in some quarters in Washington to believe that the Canadians might drop the case.

nence no move in the way of an apology or steps to straighten out the tangle were made by the American authorities. It is generally believed that the Canadians are more interested in the principles of the case with regard to the treaty than they, are with the actual sinking. The 1924 treaty, while giving certain reciprocal rights to Great Brit ain for cooperation against the rum smugglers, is believed by the Canadians to have been of little reciprocal value to them. NORTH PHILADELPHIA REALTORS PAY VISIT TO BETTER HOMES SHOW (Continued from Page Five) given by the local realtors at the Americus hotel. In the absence of Earl S.

Later in the night, after the Philadelphians had looked over the show, Mr. Thomas, speaking for the group, stated that they had seen many similar shows, but ho emphasized most emphatically that all wished to unanimously declare that Allentown's exposition was one of the largest, best and most modern of any. He was enthusiastic in his praise of the show for its equipment and diversity of exhibits, which he said were of the highest order and up-to-date in every detail. The local realtors and builders sponsoring the show are highly elated over its success to date.

Despite the fact that at times last evening the crowd in the auditorium was exceptionally large, everything possible was done to make the stay of the show visitors a pleasant and profitable one. As on other days of the week, the exhibitors distributed advertising novelties of various kinds to the ehow visitors. During the greater part of the evening there were crowds about every booths and the attendants were kept, exceptionally busy explaining the merits of the different products that go into making the better class of homes, as well as the equipment and other devices used in homes and other buildings.

TWO FEDERAL FLIERS SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES BY REBELS AT NACO Continued from, rage One) Lieut. Jesus Gaona, 24, both rated high in the Mexican army air service, plunged from the sky in a flaming mass of wreckage when tracer bullets from a rebel gun below either pierced the gasoline tank or struck the single explosive charge which remained in their bomb rack. Gutiterrez and Gaona were en their fifth bombing flight over the rebel lines. On their first trips over General Fausto Topete's troop train they carried two bombs.

The last trip they left the federal airport with three seventy-five pound bombs. Two of them had been dropped before the crash, the third exploded in the p'ano which was two miles outside the federal trenches. The aviators had instruction to fly riot lower than 4.000 feet while in range of rebel machine guns. Their bomliing operation appeared to have been so successful, however, that they dropped to the 2,000 foot level for a parting shot, federal officers here believed. The train already had been struck several times, reports here indicated, and had started a hasty retreat toward Del Rio, the rebel concentration base 30 miics from Naco.

The federal plane had been struck four times by bullets in previous trips and federal officers said nothing but over-enthusiasm in the pilots' efforts to hit once more the moving troop train would have caused them to descend within range of ground fire. As viewed from Naco, the plane appeared suddenly to disintegrate in the air, amidst a cloud of black smoke and parting tongues of flames. The blazing mass, apparently in two parts, plunged earthward and a rumbling explosion shook Naco. The death of the two fliers temporarily put the federal garrison hero at the mercy of enemy bombers. Instruction of the plane removed the only remaining federal ship stationed here.

The rebels, apparently aware of their advantage, this afternoon carried out another bombing expedition. Two planes roared over Naco, dropping seven bombs. Little damage was done. One of the. rebel ships was believed partially disabled by federal land guns.

Mexico City, April 4. UP) While his main body of troops camped at La Reforma today, resting after three days of constant fighting, General Juan A. Almazan sent cavalry detachments in pursuit of those rebels who escaped yesterday. A column of federal horsemen was in pursuit of ihe rebel cavalry this evening and other loyal contingents were seeking to round up the dispersed insurgent infantry, small groups of which were roving about the plain north of La Reforma seeking a means of escape. The exact figures of casualties sutrered by both sides in the fighting at Corralitos, Jimenez and La Reforma on the first three days of the month were still not available tonight.

It was expected that the "levantamiento delk campo" or the check of wounded and dead left on the battle field might be concluded during the night. The task of checking these casualties has taken much time because of the extensive area of the battle ground, extending from Corralitos several kilometers south of Jimenez to La Defdrma nineteen kilometers to the north. It appeared from official reports that the rebel army was completely disrupted at La Reforma and a large, if not a major portion of it was captured.
