LIE CAUSES
MANS ARREST
WIFE SAYS HUSBAND COMMITTEE
MURDER
EASTERN ROMANCE ENDS IN Los
ANGELES
Couple Came Here from Indianapolis
Two Weeks Ago, but Young
Woman VIII Now Re-
turn Alone

George w. Frazier, railroad man
formerly employed on the Vandalia line
as a brakeman, running out Of In
dinanapolis, Ind, was arrested at the
Catalina hotel on South Broadway
yesterday afternoon as a fugitive from
justice on a charge preferred against
him by his bride Of two months. who
alleged that he was wanted In In
dianapolis for murder.
The arrest was made by Patrolman
]. r. Rose and the man was taken to
the city prison. Detectives McNam-
ara and Murphy were then detailed on
the case to investigate 1t, and tele-
grams were sent to Indianapolis po-
lice officials.
From the information secured by the
detectives the story simply resolves
itself into a family quarrel with mis-
representation on the part Of the
husband.
Frazier about nine months ago be-
came acquainted at Villa Grove, ILL.,, a
small station on the Vandalia line, with
Katherine Virgins, pretty young
woman who was the possesser OF about
$1,000
fTdzlers 1t is alleged, COurteQ her and
proposed marriage to get possession
of this money, and married her finally
despite the opposition of her parents.
Married Girl
After the marriage he informed her
that 1t would not be safe for them to
remain in that country because he had
killed man in Indianapolis and was
wanted there for murder.
The young wife agreed to fly with
him and they came to the coast, ar
irving in Los Angeles two weeks ago
and registering at the Catalina hotel.
Within the last week the couple have
had several quarrels and yesterday
morning, 1t is alleged, Frazier struck
her Immediately after this the wife
sent for the police and informed the
officer that her husband was wanted
for murder and asked that he be ar
rested.
After he was paced in Jail Frazier
stated the story he told his wife was
untrue and that he had told her he
was guilty of the cline merely to get
her away from her parents and to get
possession of her money.
The money is now all gone with the
exception of about 500, and this sum
the wife has ard will probably use it
to return to her parents home In IlU-
nois
Nothing is known by the Indianapolis
police OF murder such as Frazier de-
scribed, and he will probably be re-
leased by the local police Monday
morning and told to go about his BUSH
ness.

RAILROAD MEN ASSURED
WAGES WILL NOT BE CUT
Representatives Of 5rotherhoods Say
Larger Systems VIII Not Re-
duce Pay of Their
Employed


BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Having sat-
1sfieG itself that the large railroad lines
in the east do not intend to reduce
wages now and hearing encouraging
reports from the west and south the
committee representing the railroad
brotherhoods, which has been in ses-
sion here, adjourned tonight.
On behalf of the committee John
Moray Of the Order of Railroad Con-
ductors said: 1--WE are satisfied now
that no reductions in wages will take
place, whatever may have been the
original intention of some of the rail-
roads. After conferences with the Of
ficials we can now announce that the
New York Central and all the Vander-
bilt lines, the New York, New Haven
G. Hartford and other large lines, will
continue the present wages. We Were
also promised a continuation of the
present wages on the Hartman and
Hill lines President Underwood of
the Erie railroad mas promised that the
wages of the Erie men will not be cut.
II believe that the letter of President
Roosevelt to the interstate commerce
commission had good effect; there is
little doubt that the smaller lines will
do what the larger lines do"
Mr.. Morey said that the COMMITTEES
represented $4,000 railroad workers.

energy by so much. Therefore, it
is that you see the last marble NOV
ing slower than the first. So it is
with the particles of air that push
along the sound wave. The energy
of the sound wave must finally die
out and the sound cease at a certain
distance. Were this not so, the chirp
of a bird could be heard around the
world.
Air carries sound by forming itself
in wave motion. Throw a pebble in
placid pool of water-try It in your
basin at home-and you will see little
ripples form in even, circular motion.
The ripple near the edge of the pool
is much shallower than the one in the
center. If the pool is large enough
the wave motion may disappear before
it reaches the edge, because it takes
a certain amount of energy to set so
much water in motion. Wave motion
in water illustrates wave motion in
air, only in air the waves travel spher-
ically, i. e., about you on all sides. If
the air did not move specifically, your
listener would have to stand at GER
tain angles in order to hear you But
you know that no matter where your
listener stands, in any radius about
you, he can hear what you say. You
know now how the air carries sound.
If you should try to make noise in
vacuum, you would find that you
could make no sound. Therefore, tone
after all is nothing but an air wave
that travels to all sides.
The difficulty in singing and speak
ing arises when we try to make air
waves carry sound a great distance.
1t is this difficulty that bars the way
to success for most singers and speak
ers. The unsuccessful singer or speak
er finds that the energy of his tones
dies out too quickly to make those
farthest away hear him. How to form
sound waves with enough energy to
make them reach the farthest listener
is a secret which many public singers
and speakers would like to know.

YOU CRAVE PANE?
NURSE THAT VOICE.
YOU

During recent performance Of the
Metropolitan Opera Co., a WE'LL nown
fashionable late-comer drew to herself
much attention. She was so graceful
in her manner and so beautifully at
tired that for moment even the
famous Caruso was eclipsed. The
stirring beauty of his voice, however,
quickly cast it's spell again. 1t was
at the close of the first act and Caru-
so had just finished an enhancing
theme when a harsh, nasal voice
broke the silence, ooh, John, 1 wish
you could sing like that" So beau
tiful wish but so discordant tone
caused all eyes to turn in that direc-
ton. The unmusical voice belonged
to the beautiful lady. Her fashion
circle was visibly disappointed-an
she probably wondered why her social
aspirations were never realized. AL
though she possessed all other assets
necessary for social supremacy, she
lacked that most important personal
asset-a pleasing voice
If Nordica sang in her throat, the
disappear. She produces her tones
right on the lips. If you watch her
lips move, you will see that she grips
the tone vibrations with them. If
the tone formed in the throat is
driven to the outside air through the
| flesh of the neck and face, we rob the
voice of it's natural power. Nordica
says that every tone must be pro-
duced right out on the very edge of
| the lips. The throat is for another pur-
pose. In the throat there are two
little cords that vibrate the breath.
When this vibrated breath reaches the
| lips, they form it into sound. If you
| force the throat to perform wrong
| duty, you hamper it in performing
the right one. Brilliant tone is pos
sible only when the tone wave is so
formed that it can move on without
obstruction.
The lips, the teeth and the tip of
the tongue are amply sufficient to
form all consonant and all vowel

Partisan chickweed seIIera.

The vender of chickweed in Paris
is a well-known figure. The sellers
are numerous and their cry Is one of
the most noteworthy of those that re-
sound in the morning in the streets of
the French capital. According to the
Bulletin des Halles there are about a
hundred thousand canaries in the cap
ital and the daily consumption of
chickweed is estimated at $4,000. This
sum looks large, but it only allows
two cents for each bird. A Paris con-
temporary points out that goodly
portion of land between Suresnes and
Courbevoie is set aside for the cult
walton of the weed.

sounds. When you whisper words, as
sea, bee, pea, tea, fee, you find that
you form the sounds at the lips and
teeth. Try it by whispering the fol-
lowing sentence. Nobody ever thinks
of whispering in the throat, in fact,
it is quite impossible.
Whether you know it or not, Nature
has endowed you with a singing and
speaking voice which ought to be an
asset to you both in business and in
social life. You can cultivate your
voice with but little effort and great
deal of pleasure when you once know
what tone really is. Application is
energy wasted if you try to do or
make a thing without learning first
the principles that govern it If the
German Count Zepplen, who is spend
ing his life time in building air ships,
discovers the laws that will make it
possible for us to navigate in the air,
the building of air ships for our daily
use and pleasure will become a simple
matter. In order to develop your
voice, it is just as necessary first for
you to know the laws through which
tone finds it's existence. When you
once know the laws, you can easily
apply them in practice. In fact, you
should give them practical applica-
ton, else your knowledge of them is
of no use. Development demands two
things-the knowledge of the law and
it's practical application.
Let us now find out the law that
governs the existence of tone, or
sound. Sound is an air wave. When
you speak or sing you disturb the par
ticles of air about you. When one lit
tie molecule O. air is disturbed it in
turn disturbs the next one, and so on.
But when the next molecule puts the
one farther from it in motion, it has
lost little in energy. Place four
marbles in row. Give the first one a
push-it will strike and start the Sec
ond, the second will start the third,
and the third the fourth. The force,
however, necessary to start another
marble rolling each time lessons the

there are no distractions directly
about the bell. The sound will be
clear. Now wrap cloth around the
bell and ring it again. The sound
you hear is no longer clear, but muf-
fled and clouded. You have placed an
obstruction between the object that
produces the sound and the air wave
which transmits the sound. The
cloth breaks the sound vibrations.
The waves that reach your hearing
nerves are the broken waves outside
the cloth and, therefore, you get a
| muff1ed sound.
But what has this to do directly
When the tones of the voice can vi
brate Immediately upon the air with
| out encountering an obstruction, they
reach the ear of the listener as clear,
unmuffled sounds. The obstruction
that the tones of the singer or speak
err usually find is right within the
mouth. The face acts like the cloth
about the bell. When the face be-
comes an obstruction, it is because
the tones are formed in the throat in
stead of on the lips. When tone is
formed by an opening between the
| lips, the outside air can Immediately
| ly take up the vibrations. The sound
waves, then, will reach the ear of the
listener unhampered and unbroken.
Watch yourself when you talk. Let
the front part of your mouth do all
| the work. Make the consonants pop
out the words. Apply this idea in
your daily business talks and keep it
| in mind whenever you speak or sing
Your voice will quickly gain in power
and you will gain an ease of express
sion. But your greatest gain will
come through the musical quality that
| is bound to result when the tone is
produced brilliantly.
A musical voice, every one knows,
II, one of the greatest assets that a
personality can possess either in bust
ness life or in the social world.
