GODOWSKY SLAIN,
WIFE, I'LL, FEARS
Failure to Find Trace of
Musician Drives Her
to Despair.
EFFORTS TO FOLLOW
HIS ROUTE THWARTED
All Clews End at Avon Station
Ocean Liners Have Not Re-
piled to Inquiries.

Relatives and friends Of Leopold
Godowsky, the missing Polish pianist,
who left his home at Avon. y. j.,
Wednesday, were at the point of
despair last night. After another
twenty-fOur hours searching they said
they were without the slightest clew
10 the musicians whereabouts.
As much Of mystery as Godowsky's
place OF cOncealment is the motive for
his dropping out Of sight. Emerson
Whithorne, one Of the pianist's bust
ness associates. who is conducting the
search. still maintained last night he
knew no reason for Godowsky's act.
Recalling that the Polish musician
carried travelling bag containing
twenty books on musical subjec when
he left Avon, which he said he was
going 10 return TO the Schirmer Music
Publishing Company, at 3 West Forty
third Street, WhithoTne made inquiries
and learned that the books had not
been received. although Godowsky
visited the place ,ednesday afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon Whithorne, accom-
panied by Louis +. SAKE, Of Mount
Vernon. and William c. Kempland, Of
Avon, brother-in-law of Godowsky,
went to the railroad terminals in the
city to see if the bag had been
checked there. They met with no sue
cess. To-day an effort will be made TO
trace the taXicab Godowsky took when
he arrived at the Pennsylvania station.
While Mrs. Godowsky was at her
Avon home yesterday Frustrated and
certain that her husband had met with
a violent death at the hands of persons
intent on robbing him of the 81 900 in
cash and valuable jewelry which he had
when he disappeared, Whithorne was
still confident the musician had gone
into retirement TO work on the cOmpo-
sitions which had to be completed by
September 10. Whithorne recalled that
Mr.. Godowsky was eccentric in many
ways, although on Friday, the day the
police issued a general alarm, he said
the pianist was of an even minded dis
position.
Up to a late hour last night no re-
plies had been received from the four
transatlantic steamers bound for Eu-
rope, on one of which il was thought
Mr.. Godowsky might have taken pas
sage. The vessels were notified a few
hours after leaving this port that the
famous pianist had disappeared. 1t was
thought that in a fit of depression over
me loss OF property III huSNIId lie
might have sailed to that country.
The police last night were convinced
that if Mr. Godowsky was alive and in
hiding he was not in the city.
kilograms expressing concern at the
pianist's disappearance and requesting
that they be notified if anything def
mite was learned were sent to Mrs.
Godowsky by Fritz Kreisler, Josef
Hoffman,. Alma Gluck and several other
musicians who were friendly with the
talented Pole. On orders of her ply
stefan, the messages were withheld
from Mrs. Godowsky, who is to receive
no. advices concerning her husband ex-
cept good news.

Mr.. Sugesta Carmine Spota Will
Be Called "Jess" Now.

PERHAPS there is something psyche
logical r the name Jess. At least, APP

Sugesta Carmine Spota, of go Mott
Street. has added Jess TO the rest OF his
name He got permission to do so
from Justice Whitaker. -.
Spota since he was boy az public
school tas had much trouble with the
name his parents selected for him. lie
is now twenty-four years old. At
school, lie said, the boys used 20 make
fun Of lis name and called him susie
and "Slsie's Jester"
Spota thinks that with the assump-
ton Of the Christian name Jess there
will not be much need for him 70 hght;
Il will be recalled that man named
Willard made famous the name Jess
and nobody has tried 10 knock the CHIP
off his shoulder. In fact, Jess, Just by
itself. Spota seems to believe. carries

REALTY EXPERT
OBJECTS TO JAIL
Albert Van Damn Will Pay
Judgment Rather than
Appraise Cell.

Albert Van Damn, whose expert
knowledge OF property values has en-
abled him for many years to get re-
auctions of assessments for property
owners, which was his business, has
changed his mind about being willing
to go to jail. He insisted that a judg-
ment against him, on which he could be
sent to Ludlow Street Jail for six
months. should be carried out. The
Supreme Court was agreeable to Van
Damm's desire. But in the end he pre-
ferred to give a bond and stay out.
Van Damn was in business with his
brother, Joseph r. Van Damn. who died
in 1912 from a wound which he re-
ceived in the Spanish American War.
Albert continued the business. Mrs.
Heloise F. Van Damn, the brothers
widow and executrix of his estate.
brought a proceeding for an accounting
of the business of the firm. Franklin
Leonard, jr., as attorney for Mrs. Van
Damn, obtained the judgment for an
accounting, James W. Hyde being ap-
pointed referee to take it.
The referees report to the Supreme
Court said that Albert Van Damn
should be compelled to account for
S5,742.
In connrmlng the report, JUSTICE
Shearn gave Van Damn ten days to
pay the judgment or be committed to
iail for six months. However, four
months elapsed, and Van Damn, much
ANNOYED by the delay in sending him to
jail. called upon Mr. Leonard and re-
quested that the body attachment be
issued at once. The judgment was re.
turned unsatisfed. Mr.. Leonard
thought there was still time 10 get the
body execution. and so did Justice
Delehanty. for nc denied Van Damm's
motion. The execution was issued. but
Van Damn was no Longer ANXIOUS TO
go to Jail. He procured a bond of Sll,
OO0. which kept him out. For SIX
months. under the terms of the bond,
lie cannot leave the County Of New
ork. AT the end of that time he MAJ
apply 10 hav, the bond discharged.

YOUNG BOY SERIOUSLY INJURED

Chester Hibbs, the 11-year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. F. l.. Hibbs of okla
homa City, Okla, fell from the third
floor of large office building in Ok
lahoma iCl tysaetaol eraoin tntntnnn
an electric conduit shaft, sustaining
injuries which probably will result
in his death. At the time of the fall,
the boy was in the company of his
brother Glenn, who however, was
powerless to aid the little fellow and
prevent the accident
The two boys had gone to the
fourth floor of the building to get
some blotters. AS they were descend
ing the stairs Chester was in the lead,
and the building being dark, neither
could see far ahead. Therefore, on
reaching the landing above the third
floor the boy ahead was not aware
that the door to the shaft was open
but walked directly into the open
ing. The superstition is that he
grasped a charged wire to hold him
self and received a shock which rem
dered him helpless. When found and
taken to physicians an operation was
performed for double fracture of the
skull.
The Hibbs family lived in Audi
bon many years on the ten acre tract
north of the c. & N. w. depot re-
Gently sold by Fred Bartlett. The
boys father was a brick mason here
and moved with his family to Ok
lahoma City about seven years ago.
He is nephew of Mrs. I. j. Stafford
of this city. The friends of the fam
lily will regret to learn of this mis-
fortune that has befallen them.
