PRINCESS DUPED
BY MUSIC FRAUD
Her Genius" Found to
Have Copied Works Of
Masters.

VIENNA. March 2I.-Fritz Hahn, the
protege OF the Archduchess Frederick
and Princess Pauline Metternich has
just been exposed as a musical fraud,
who not only stole and passed as his
own compositions Of great masters, but
even copied their letters in his CORE
spondence with his distinguished pat
ronesses.
Hahn came here from Stuttgart. and
having an interesting face and an ex-
ceedingly long name OF hair, soon at
tracted a female contingent that hailed
him as a genius. He had a letter of
introduction TO Princess AIetternich,
ana 50 won her over that she interest
ed the Archduchess Frederick in the
young man. Hahn claimed II was as
easy for him 10 compose classic as
ragtime music. and in four months
Hahn submitted to Princess AIetterniCh
no less than eleven symphonies which
were produced with the utmost success
at leading concert halls and at the
palaces of the great, and the news
papers did not hesitate to pronounce
them master works"
Princess Metternich, elated at having
discovered this new genius, was so en-
thus!astic that she made up a purse.
intending TO publish Hahn's eleven
symphonies in two editions, a de lux
edition, and one for the common people
But strange to say the composer
would not hear OF 1t; his symphonies
were for the select only" he hated
printed music" and cared nothing for
popular recognition" His refusal TO
accent Princess Netternfchrs nsanarous
OFFER reused the suspicion Of several
music publishers. and they appointed
an expert to study Hahn's manuscript
symphonies.
This was done and It was discovered
that every one Of Hams eleven sym
phonies was copied from the old mas
ters. copied note for note. There
wasn't an original line in any OF the
works that had attracted critical and
popular attention.

COUNTY BOARD
IS TO CONVENE
Supervisors at Session Which Opens
Tomorrow Will Give Atten-
~ ton to Finances.
MAY AUTHORIZE WARRANTS
Possibility That Method Adopted Last
Year Will Be Resorted to to Meet
Present Claims.

At the meeting of the board of SUI
pervisors which opens tomorrow the
subject of county finances will occupy
the attention of the board. The coun-
ty has paid no bills since those allow
ed" at the March meeting. and the
county has been broke practically all
of the time for the last year. The
taxes collected in the spring were all
spent before they were received. and
when the orders issued against the an
ticipated revenues were paid, there
was scarcely any cash left in the
treasury. At the midsummer meeting
Of the board it was voted to allow no
more bills. and the clerk has an enor-
nous stock of them on hand now,
awaiting the boards action At the
last meeting no bills were allowed
and the board prepared to submit the
5O-cent tax proposition, which has
again been defeated.
More Advance Orders.
II is expected that at this weeks
session the board will arrange for tie
issuance of warrants against the an
ticipdteu laN recelplS IN the spring.
This tax levy will net the county about
$4,000. According to the statements
made by county officials, the county at
present has a deficit of s115,0G0. which
is increasing at the rate of nearly s25,-
600 a year. The average cost of OPP
Grafton each year is placed at s101,000.
The board could, at it's last session,
have allowed bills and authorized war;
rants against anticipated revenues. af-
ter it provided for the tax levy. but
this action was not taken. possibly be-
cause it was thought that the effect OF
the delay would be favorable to the
tax proposition at the polls.
Talk Special Law.
The people of the county voted down
the lax proposition by a majority of

1918, and there was very general ex-
preston on the question. Now some
of the members of the board are talk
ing of trying to induce the state legis-
lature to pass a special law to enable
the board of supervisors in Rock Is
land county to levy such tax for
county purposes. against the expressed
wish of the voters. Such movement,
however, is not likely to prove sue
cessful

do not propose TO authorize the so

COST $1oo EACH
Rock Island County Spent Nearly
That for Each Vote Cast at
Election by Women
FOR ONLY 81 VOTED
And Necessity to Provide Ballots and
Records Added Between $500 and
$500 to Expense.

Rock Island county incurred debt
CT between $500 and $500 in order TO
give the women Of the county an OPP
portunity to vote at the last general
election last week, and yet only 81
women took advantage of this Oppor-
tunity, and consequently these votes
cost the county something like $100
each. The women were entitled to
suffrage on the question of election of
trustees of the University of Illinois,
and considering the Importance of the
position to be filled, it might have been
expected that keen interest would have
been taken in the matter by the wo-
men. and particularly those who be-
lieye in female suffrage.
In the city of Rock Island there was
not a single woman who took advan-
tage Of the right Of suffrage given her
by the state, although of course there
are many women in the city who are
ready to argue that women should en-
joy suffrage.
Added to the Cost.
The general election cost Rock Is
land county approximately $4,000. This
includes all the expenses for sample
and official ballots, poll books. tally
sheets. publication of ballots, rent for
polling places. and the pay for the
election officials. The fact that pro-
vision had to be made for the women 5
votes added considerably to the cost,
as special ballots had to be provided.
and separate record books also. The
results give rise to the inquiry, Does
