DEATH RATHER
THAN BECOME
INSANE
Mrs. P~erk Fearing Ell,
fects of Dog Bite, Takes
POiSOn== Locked in Room

Fearing that she would become in
sane as a result of being bitten by a dog
fourteen months ago, Mrs. Teresa Per-
kowiski, % years old, locked herself in
her room at her home, $50 South Thir-
teenth street, Monday afternoon at $50,
and when she failed to respond to III
merous calls during the night and yes
terday her husband communicated with
the police of the Fourth Precinct Sta
ton. Plainclothesmen Haas and Sebold
went to the house at 4:30 yesterday aft
ernoon, and when they broke in the
committed suicide by taking cyanide of
potassium. Acting County Physician
McCabe was notified:
The Perkowiskis and another family
occupy the house and both use the
kitchen on the first floor.
When the woman was bitten in the
arm and removed to st. B%arnabas's
Hospital it was found hat she was
suffering more from shock than any
thing else. Investigation showed that
the dog was not mad.
Two children, Helen, aged 2 years,
and Joseph, who was born while the
deceased was confined in the hospital,
are the only children.
It was the thought she would some
day go mad and abuse her children
that the woma brooded over. During
the last several months she was sub
ject to attacks of temporary insanity.
When her husband returned home
Monday afternoon he found that his
wife was acting strangely and quarrel
ing with her mother-in-law and neigh
bors. He tried to pacify her. but she
became violent. and, Selling a stove
litter, threatened to throw it at him,
She hurled it on the stove and it
smashed into bits. He told her that he
would call in the police, and, sobbins
aloud, the woman rushed to her room
on the second floor and locked her
self in.
The husband knew that there was a
loaded .32-acilbre revolver in a bureau
drawer in the room, but he thought 1t
best to allow his wife to remain locked
in.
At 9 o'clock Monday night the young
est child began to weep, and believing
that this would change his wife's man
ner, he carried the child to the room,
but no attention was paid to his pleas
TO enter.
The woman passed the night in the
room. When she failed to appear dur
ing the greater part of the day Perko-
wiski called in the police and they broke
in the door. The revolver remained UNI
touched in the drawer and was taken
in charge by the police.
Perkowiski and the two children slept
in the kitchen while the woman was
barricaded in the room.

MUSICAL PRODIGY MAY
HAVE NEW INSTRUCTOR.
Teacher Sought to Keep Her Under His
Tutelage-She Demurred and Court
Ruled in Her Favor.

NEW YORK, Jan. pa suit which
lawyers say is without precedent was de-
cided by Supreme Court Justice Leventritt
in Special Term, Part L., Of the court
Yesterday. He denied the motion of julius
Henry Cohen for an injunction restraining
Maurice Scholder, Of S3 East 163d street,
from takfng his 12-year-old daughter Hell
enc from under the tutelage of Karl
G%reinauer, a cello soloist and teacher, and
from placing her under the tutelage OF
tanother teacher, or of sending her to Eu-
rope to study.
Helene is a child musical prodigy. In
his affidavit Mr.. Greinauer says that IN
1902 he was struck with the musical ability
of the child as a 'cellist and made over
lures to her father to develop the child in
her talent.
The cello teacher offered 10 take the
child and instruct her, provided the father
would sign a contract that he should have
the full instruction II the little girl for a
period of ten years.
This continued up to the early part of
last November. when he was rehearsing
the child for a performance on Thanks
giving Day. He had selected her to play
the second part of a cello duet. The child
objected, saying that she had played 1t
several years before and thought that she
was entitled to play the first part. The
father took the child's part, and 1t is
alleged that thereafter the teacher re-
fused to rave anything more to do with
his pupil.

SAYS HUSBAND
GOT PROPERTY
BY THREATS
HObOken Woman Married
PenniIesS Barber-.SeekS
TO Regain Holdings.

Evidence was heard by Vice-Chan-
cellor Howell today in the suit of Mrs.
Christina Schultz, of Hoboken. against
John Henry Schultz, from whom she
got a decree of divorce in March last
on charges of extreme cruelty. She
sues now for the r-econveyance to her
of real estate in Hoboken which she
says she conveyed to Schultz because
of his threats.
II her testimony on the stand today
Mrs. Schultz said she was the widow
of Michael Foster, who b~equeathed to
her property in Hoboken worth $25,OOO.
In 1890 she married Schultz, who was a
barber and earned only SO or $40 a
week. He never gave her any of his
earnings, she said. She added that he
did not work at all after 1908, and h a
by threats and cruel treatment he
made her convey to him a half interest
in her real estate. She ives at 346
Park avenue, Hoboken, she said, and
Schultz at 502 Bloomfield avenue.
Schultz, in his answer, denied thai he
was cruel to his wife or had threatened
her. He averred that he had no IN
terest in any of the real estate she
owned when he married her, but DID
have a half interest with her in prop
erty they bought after their marriage.
He claimed that it was her wish that
the deeds to the properties be made
in their names as joint owners, so that
her relatives could not get any OF her
real estate after her death. He as
serted that she made a will in which
she left small requests to relatives ana
the bulk of the estate to him. He sWore
that he did not force her to conVey
property to him by threats. H

although no evidence has yet been

Advertising Changes.

From the indianapolis star.
STYLES change in advertising-not with
the same rapdity that they do in MILL
merry but none the less perceptibly. me
new idea of this year supplants the fad
of last season and in turn gives way to
the newer method of next year. And I'M
DERIVING all the changes one can note
constant approach toward reason. The
country is growing bigger and the cities
are acquiring larger populations. and it
requires year by year more money prop
erly TO advertise the merits of any article
OF commerce, whether the public TO be
reached is the whole American people or
a restricted class or merely the people Of
one city. 1t means so much money that
the man who spends ii must give more
thought to il. And as he does more
thinking on the subject he naturally cuts
out much that is without value.
The wise advertiser has learned that
commodities. though they can be per-
suaded. This one kernel of truth has
brought whole new line of thought to
him In pSrsuading people he must give
them SONS argument, some reason. And
his ARGUMENT is much stronger If put be-
fore them with the influence of a strong
newspaper or periodical behind it, a pub
lication in which they have confidence.
The aboard and painted sign can carry
no argument. and IL has, Of course, no
standing with the reader that would add
weight to the argument. To carry any
force AT all il must attract by a good
picture or a good color scheme. and thus
it naturally falls back to its original role
of advertising circuses and the drama
People look To the billboard for{this sort
of advertising and take very little inter-
est in anything else displayed there.
