WAR MAY
Be SETTLED BY
USE OF BIC GUN
Professor Rehm Says He Will
Shoot if NeighbOrs
Interfere.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Professoi
William G. Rehm, who gives piano les
sons on the ground foor of the fash
ionable apartment house at 207 West
Eighty-seventh street, today armed
himself with real war equipment and
de1ed interference from his irate
neighbors.
The forces arrayed against the music
teacher have been headed by the fam
lilies of c.. c. Kay, a representative of
the cement trust, and Flank P. Blood
good, a well-known decorator, both of
whom occupy apartments above Pro-
fessor Rehm. Having failed to dis
courage the teacher and his pupils
with tin pan brigades and a collection
of monographs, the Rays and the
Bloodgoods announced their intention
of moving as soon as new quarters
could be obtained.
The trouble has ragged since February
last, when Miss Truth G.. Gimmell, a
daughter of the late Senator Gimmell,
of South Dakota, who was studying
piano playing with Professor Rehm,
practised from 8 a. m. til 6 p. mo
In June Miss Gimmell went home and
a truce was declared. But then other
pupils came, and although Professor
Rehm declares he muffled hiS pianos,
the trouble broke out anew.
I'VE simply cannot stand it any
longer says Mr.. Kay. From early
morning until late in the evening these
piano M%arathons have been kept UP
continuously for more than six months.
We have appealed to the owner of the
house, Mrs. Pauline Grosner, of 349
Central Park west, but she refuses to
interfere as long as Professor Rehm
does not violate the regulations of the
Board of Health, which permit him t.
play until II p. m.
IF the pupils were only permitted
to play a little ragtime once in a while
it would help the situation" chimed IN
Mr.. Bloodgood, whose pretty wife
nodded her head ~approvingly. But no
1t was classics, classics, classics, from
morning into the night, every day In
the week and all day Sunday. There
is nothing left for us to do but get out,
and we are going"
Professor Rehm, whose father had
the distinction of being a warm per-
sonal friend of Abraham Lincoln, was
found in his studio on the ground floor
of the aparament house. He was great
ly excited.
This is one big conspiracy to drive
me away from my house," he said.
IF they bother me I will shoot" said
the professor, who, having tossed on
servatism to the wind, displayed a
l~ong-barreled revolver which he said
he had learned to handle with skill
during nineteen years spent on the
West Point reservation, where his
father was bandmaster.

clear that they intended to fight the
case to a finish and be married as soon
as obstacles could be removed.
The girl has deep, fascinating brown
eyes and a tangled of brown
hair, which she says she cannot ar
n because she has no combs. She
seemed strangely out of place among
the other prisoners, most of whom are
sentenced for immortality and drunken

that an East Hartford citizen had
promised to give bail for her and the
chauffeur tomorrow. The trial comes

The girls brought with them a tri-
pod, on which rested a wooden bow
or drum. Protruding from the tripod
vas a red wooden box.
The orchestra finally came and the
performance started. There were three
members in it. One played a stringed
instrument shaped like a croquet affair
n the third a flute. The girls beat
time while they sang with a stick,
alternately on the wooden bowl and
the red box. Their voices could scarcely
be heard through the din (only one
sang at a time) for when a Chinese
stringed instrument gets under way
a husky steam caliope could scarcely
be heard.
In spite of the rasping character of
that music there is a fascination about
it and after your ears stop ringing a
few hours later you begin to realize
it. Yours, WEB.

Canton, China

Dear Bill:
The sing song girls of Canton are a
great institution. When a Chinese
wants to spread himself in entertaining
his guests he hires several sing song
girls and an orchestra and they dis
course melodious love songs through
the vast number of courses. (Some of
the big dinners have $50 courses).
We had a concert one evening. The
girls arrived first and improved the
time while waiting for the orchestra
by primping. They must be the neat
est and most particular women in the
world about their personal appearance.
They spend hours on their hair alone,
which is oiled and combed straight
back to a large knot on the back of
the head. A bang curves over the
forehead.

SPLENDID PLAN SUGGESTED
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
OUR CUTOVER PINE LANDS

Mr.. G. r. Byrnes, President of the
Chamber of Commerce of Natchez,
will suggest to the Mississippi Land
Development Association at its an-
nual meeting in June, plan for con
verting idle cut-over land into profit
able, home investments.
His idea is to put upon the market
small farms, comfortably improved,
and sell them upon easy payments OF
one dollar per year per acre, the
deferred payments to bear only six
per cent interest.
Nothing could be simpler, more
feasible or more practical. Now the
only thing left to do is to do it. If il
has not fatal weakness which has
defeated a score or more of good
plans heretofore proposed, it will sue
ceed. But we have seen so many
plans of budding promise, bloom and
blossom for day, and fade and die,
never more to be heard of, that we
have begun to dreada thousand times
more than we do the boll weevil, the
deadly blight of nothing DOING
It would be just as easy to sell these
lands as to sell dry goods and gro
ceries, if their owners would only 'do
it." A dealer IN mules or horses or
cattle, prepares his stock for market
before showing it. Owners of cut
over land should do the same II is
folly to say they havnt the money,
because they have. If they havn't
the money to prepare all they have
for sale, they could prepare some. If
individuals cannot do it, corporations
or companies could be organized that
would. Take a thousand acres; cut
them up into ten farms of an hundred
acres each, or some larger and some
fence these farms and put
small, comfortable houses upon them,
and advertise them for sale at fair
price, payable one dollar per acre
per year, and they will sell; sell as
fast as hot cakes
There are thousand and tens of
thousands of people who would go
back to the farm for them, and lease
