SVEKN, A NOTED COMPOSER IS DEAD Scandinavian Composer Expires at His Home in Copenhagen. Copenhagen, June . 14. Joban Ser rln 6vendsen, the celebrated Scandanavlan compoaer, died yesterday at the age of seventy. Svendaon waa born at Christiana and learned the elements of music from his father. At the age of eleven ho wrote his first composition for the violin. When fifteen he enlisted In the army and soon became bandmaster. After leaving the army he played for a few years in the orchestra of the Christlania theater and at a dancing travel drovo him on a roving tour over a great part of Sweden and North Germany. Chance gave him the acquaintance of the Swedish-Norwegian consul, Herr Lecke, who obtained for him a pension. Paralysis of the hand sompelled him to give up the bow for composition. In 1863 he studied under Hauptmann, David, Richter and Retnecke at the conservatory In Lcifslc, where he wrote for string quartet and orchestra. On leaving Leipslc In 1867 he received the great honorary medal of the academy. Travel again put him in Paris at the tenith of the second empire, but the Franco-Prussian war sent him again to Germany. Ills friendship with Llsst and Tausig was developed in Weimar in 1870. Early the following year his sm phony in I was performed at the Gewandhaus and his fame as a composer establirhed. Married an Amtrlean In 1S71 ho married an American girl while on a tour of that country. Not long afterward he met Wagner at Deyreuth and soon became hla intimate associate although he apparently was not Influenced musically by this friendship. For the next ' five years he waa conductor of the Christlania Musical association. After 1877 Ihls time waa given to composition and travel. In which he visited Munich, i Rome, London and Paris for a second time. In lRft.1 ho became Court conductor at Copenhagen and in recent ! years had produced only minor, compositions. Svendsen's music was all of very high character.vremarkable for strong individuality, conciseness and the absence of anything national or Scandanavlan; as well at for an elaborate finish, being strictly in harmony with the tradition of the grand masters. He waa one of the most cosmopolitan composers of the age.

HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE IS CIGARET FIEND

(National Nwa Aanorlatlon) Baker City, Ore., June 15. That his wife, declared by artist Burns-Jones to be the most beautiful woman in the world, smoked 40 clgarets and was addicted to the use of sleeping powders, will be the principal charge on which rests the court action for divorce by Sidney C. Love of Chicago and New York, in which testimony is being taken before a referee here. Love made these charges on the witness stand and his wife's beautiful face reddened with blushes. Added to these charges was the declaration that she had an unusual liking for sleep and lacked regard for their tbree-year-old child, Murial, whose custody is the present basis of contention.

- i '

II

MRS. GEORGE BROWNE. Under the glare of some hundreds of electric lights and amid partially erected scenery, rehearsals' for the comic opera "Robin Hood" at Karlhani are being held every evening. Last night the campus was alive with student spectators and residents of College avenue who had come over to listen to the music. For the first time the chorus and soloists held a rehearsal in conjunction on the Chase outdoor stage, and the air was resonant with the old English melodies, of which I)e Koven has used several In the music for Robin Hood. The work last night drew from the small ccowd on the west campus round after round of applause, predicting a stupendous success for the final performance, Saturday evening. The faculty of the college, has agreed to give the principals in the opera their final college year examinations Wednesday and Thursday, so that they may be free on Friday and Saturday for the dress rehearsals and that the soloists may have sufficient rest for their parts, which are heavy. The seating arrangements are unique. Twenty-five hundred comfortable seats are to be placed on the west campus Saturday morning, and in addition to this the bleachers that were used in the east campus oh May Day will be placed on either side. Boxes have been placed on the "plat,'- as a desire was expressed by some of the leading citizens of Richmond and friends of Earlham from out of town to give box parties for their friends. As many of these boxes as are called for will be arranged. In case of rain these arrangements will be carried out in the Coliseum, where the entire opera can be produced. The cast is as follows: , Robert of Huntington (afterward Robin Hood) Merle L. Scott Sheriff of Nottingham...... Dr. Henry. Alburger Little John Everett E. Wood Will Scarlet G. A. Lehmann Allan a Dale Louis Millikan Friar Tuck Dalton H. Lewis Sir Guy of Gisborne (ward of the Sheriff) Ivan J.

HOGSTOII'S WILL IS SUBJECT OF ATTACK J. F. Cranor, Fountain City, a Beneficiary Brother Brought Suit. . Indianapolis, June 15. A suit made possible by recent legislative action, has been filed in superior court No. S, by James I. Hogston, of Marion, against the board of state charities and others to break the will of Anderson Hogston, of Marion, who died December 11, 1909, leaving nearly all

his estate of $125,000 to the board of,

state charities. Up to this year the state of Indiana or its departments could not be sued in such cases. The suit in question was delayed until special legislation, making it possible to make the state a party defendant, was enacted. A bill with this provision was introduced In the senate by W. N. Hauck, of Lawrenceburg, but was lost after Senator B. B. Shiveley, of Marion, made a warm fight against it. Senator Shiveley contended that Anderson Hogston was pf sound mind when he mado his will for the benefit of the board of state charities, and that the money should go to the state board without legislation that might prevent the carrying out of Hogston's wishes. Law is Passed However, a bill introduced in the house by Representative C. W. McMillen, of Aurora, fared better, and after passing the senate became a law. This law provides that where the state of Indiana or any officer or department may be made a beneficiary under the terms of a will, the state, officer or department may be made a party defendant in an action contesting the will, and may be sued the same as an individual. In such case the summons may be served on the Governor, and it shall be the. duty of the attorney-general to defend the action. However, all such units against the state must be brought in the Mar ion county superior court. In addition to the board of state charities the defendants iir the Hogston will case are Charles Boxell executor, and other, who assert interest in the Hogston estate. Plaintiff is Brother The -plaintiff is a brother, and the nearest relative of Anderson Hogston, who died leaving no widow or chil

dren. The win provided that James I. Hogston receive $5,000, to be held in trust for him by a son. Alfred Hogston. Another $5,000 was left to John F. Cranor, of Fountain City, and the residue of the estate was left for the use of the board of state charities. The plaintiff alleges that Anderson Hogston was of unsound mind when he made the . will, that the will was drawn under undue influence, and that it was unduly executed.

The annual "fool" stunt of the Earlham faculty was put on Thursday afternoon, when they played bast ball with the seniors. In years before the faculty has been unable to win from the seniors, but the senior team this year promises to give the faculty the victory without protest. This is not because Morton C. Pearson, pastor of the First Friends church at Indianapolis and manager of the big Earlham debt campaign is to umpire, nor because Coach Thistlethwaite of the college Is to twirl for the professors, but because of the superior support
