GIRL GONE FROM HOME.
Police Asked to Find Miss Gertrude Speeden, Sixteen Years Old.
Miss Gertrude SPEEDEN, 16 years old, of 534 First street southeast, ran away from home last week. She took practically all her clothing. The police were asked yesterday to find her. The girl told Mrs. JOHNSON, an aunt with whom she lived, that she was going to return a suit case full of letters to a girl friend living at a hotel.
Instead, she spent that night with another friend. According to the latter, she left the following morning. Mrs. JOHNSON said last night that the girl seemed perfectly happy. She denied there had been an elopement.

Big Easter Sunday Concert at the Cosmos.
By far the finest concert of the season is scheduled for Easter Sunday afternoon and evening at the Cosmos. This theater has made a specialty of musical entertainment as a Sunday feature for same time, and has brought several well-known bands, soloists and musical features of various kinds to the city especially for their concerts. Their popularity and worth are amply attested by the ever-increasing crowds that attend them week after week, and they are now a recognized feature of the city's musical attractions. Easter Sunday has appealed to the management of the theater as an excellent opportunity to tender a compliment to their steady concert patronage by the giving of a concert that shall always be a memorable one. The program is certainly the most interesting one of the year, and the unquestioned ability of the orchestra to handle the difficult numbers makes it an assured success from the start.
The orchestra will consist of twenty men, the pick of Washington's Symphony musicians, under the direction of Arthur J. MANVELL, the gifted young leader of the Cosmos Theater Orchestra. In addition to the orchestral numbers, nine selected singers have been engaged and will be heard in solos, duets, trios, and concerted numbers.
