BASS VIOLIN MASTER
BLINDED, RESTS BOW

'Dolph wurm. the south's greatest
master OF the bass violin. has had to
rest his bow. Cataract has grown
over his eyes AS his light gradually
has been shut out the darkness has
drawn him more and more into Sc
clusion.
Atlanta musicians are telling his
story as their most interesting bit
Of shop talk"
Many, especially old-time, Allan
tans. remember him as the slender,
serious looking little man who stood
on the left end of the orchestra, wear
ing a black silk skull-c,.o and lean
ing on his big fiddle uTtil he became
a natural part of the scenery.
He was the Thor who hurled the

master who marked the syncopated
time of the first rags" at the society
balls. silence before the motives OF
his music had had time to create

There is no more interesting figure
in Atlanta to-day than the old man

Mr.. Wurm was for 40 years one
of the principal members Of the

other members try to make Of IT an

me about not being able to sit down
when l played,
Somehow the instrument i'm
pressed me differently. When my

stuck to It ever since, always playing
the same fiddle
In this day most OF the musicians
in Atlanta have something else to do

They play for extra money. But

Some interpreters of the parcel post

giving the government an absolute mo-
nopoiy OF the handling of parcels WITHIN
the limits of the size set by law.
The Assistant Attorney General Tor the
Postofiice Department has prepared an
opinion. which is now before the Attorney
General. II is understood that he holds
the law does not give the department a
monopoly OF the handling of packages.
IL is probable Postmaster General Burle-
son Will refer the question to Attorney
General McReynolds for an exhaustive
investigation OF the law. and that the
Attorney Generals opinion VIII be laid
before President Wilson.
