TRIES 15 TIES TO KILL HIMSELF; igthsucgeSsful Chicago Man's Suicide One Episode in Hectic Night— Bombing and Murders, By United Press CHICAGO, May 10.—Two bizarre suicides, a murder and suicide and the daily bombing were the high lights of a night of violence here. After fifteen unsuccessful attempts at suicide, John Arendt, 29, succeeded on his sixteenth try. Arendt, however. tried to make it look like murder. The body was found in a steel barrel, the legs protruding. Rags were bound tightly over the mouth and nose. The hands were bound tightly to the back. Death was caused by suffocation. Coroner’s Physician Springer declared. He said it was the strangest suicide in the history of hte city. Arendt worked out a logical trail of murder and police were questioning dozens of persons employed in the Sherwin-Wil-liams Paint Company plant; where the body was found, when Mrs. Arendt entered and told of her husband's numerous suicide attempts. Ends Life as Torch Suicide was the verdict in the death of Miss Edith Perkins, 41, a hairdresser of Spencer, lowa, who with her clothing aflame, leaped from the window of her third floor room at a woman’s hotel. Hotel officials believe the woman attempted to make a funeral pyre of her bed when the fire was discovered. Miss Prkins refused to open the door when attaches attempted to enter. They used a pass-key and the woman held her shoulder against the door in an effort to keep them out. Vv hen they gained entrance, the bed and other furniture in the room were blazing, while the woman stood in the middle of the floor, apparently unmindful of the flames leaping from her clothing. A second later the woman dived head-first from the window. Temporary insanity, due to business difficulties was beLeved the cause for the suicide. Double Killing Charles H. Huebsch, 45, patient at an infirmary, shot and killed his wife, Anne, 34, and then killed himself. The double killing occurred in the Huebsch home. Temporary insanity was believed respons.ble for the tragedy. Labor trouble was held responsible for the bombing of the Landerman Auto Supply Company. Two floors of th four-story building were badly damaged. Damage was estimated at SIO,OOO. In th r manufacturing districts of England nearly four tons of Just and soot fall from chimneys to the ground each dav.

GREAT COMPOSERS U. S. Lacks Own Music

* *

EDWARD MacDOWELL This is the last of a series of articles on the greatest musical composers of six nations. By ERNEST BLOCH Noted Composer and Winner of Coolidge Prize, 1919. IIE music of America lias been written thus far only by Walt * Whitman. When a musician comes, in this country, who can put into music what Whitman has written in words, we will have the first real American music. * For it is not notes that count, but j what is behind the notes. It is be- | cause Lincoln and Whitman loved understood, identified themselves with the soul of their country, that they could serve it and interpret it. They had the supreme gift of looking at life simply and directly, of trusting their own souls. They turned simply to life in all its manifestations. They opened their eyes and their hearts. They were neither dry pedants nor shallow amateurs —neither were they religious fanatics, seeking to repress the vital*instincts in themselves and in others. They were not obsessed, either, with the idea of racial supremacy, despising the older and more subtle civilizations of Europe and Asia. And least of all did they believe that life could be made better by formulas. They had the real intuition, which can not he taught, but which is a gift of God to the hearts of men, about the mission of their great country. They saw what the “melting pot” might become. They saw what the free association of all races under a common law, could give humanity, through the free expansion of all their riches, the accumulated and amalgamated treasures of their individual and racial soulS. This is what America could become; and the one who sees it, understands it. and trans mutes it into music will be the rea! American musician. Edward Mac Dowell, however, may be called a true representative of art music in America. MacDovvell’s pieces possess clear Individuality. They are unlike the music of any European master, although, to be sure, there are some European influences perceptible in it.

Special Music The program at the Circle next week, in addition to “Cytherea." consists of the ('irelette of News, the Circle Chats, with special organ accompaniment, a Lloyd Hamilton comedy, “doing Hast,’’ and an organ solo. “It Ain’t Gonna Rain no Mo'." played by Dessa Byrd Bakalenikof? has selected “Zampa," by Herold, as the overture, which will be p.ayed by the Circle cofuert orchestra under his direction. i

Col. H. H. Rogers arrived ten days ago to take his daughter home. He was quoted as saying that “a financial provision probably will be made for Count Salm.” Stern Papa Disillusioned End of the forty million dollar romance, friends of the couple here said, came when the bride’s father quietly visited Paris, talked with his daughter and son-in-law and insisted they would not receive a cent of the Rogers millions as long as they lived together. “Both Ludwig and the Countess Salm were disillusioned,” a friend of Salm said. “They realized love cannot thrive in poverty." The count was not at his usual hotel today. Attendants said he had “gone away.” There was no intimation here as to what the nature of any “financial settlement’' Colonel Rogers might make on his impoverished son-in-law would be, but friends of the count recalled that Salm recently threatened to “raise a terrible row if the Rogers family doesn't come through.” Married Last January' The romance, which began so auspiciously when the couple eloped and were married quietly by a deputy city clerk in the municipal building in New York City Jan. 9, has been waning for some months, according to friends of the count Yon Salm, during a recent trip he made to the Riviera with his bride, was quoted as saying that “American women are too independent.” while Millicent found that “European husbands are far different from those in America.” The money question was the real Issue, however, friends said, as Von Salm admitted he was practically without funds except for a very small Income from his.
