z MORE IN FAMILY
DIE FROM OLIVES;
z ALSO NEAR DEATH
Fatalities in Delbene House.
hold Attract Attention of
Scientists.

Two other members OF the family OF.
Paul Delbene, wealthy shoe dealer, died
yesterday of poisoning caused by eating
ripe olives, making four of that family
to die from that cause within a week.
Two others OF the family, brothers Of
Paul Delbene, are critically i'll in Ford
ham Hospital and are expected to die.
They, also, ate ripe olives.
The poisoning of the Delbene famffr
has attracted widespread attention. The
United States Bureau of Chemical Re-
search has asked to be allowed 10 ana
lyze some of the olives which caused the
deaths, while the medical staffs of sew
eral universities have taken up the in
vestigation and have sent for some of
the germs.
The germ was analyzed yesterday as
the bacillus botulinus. one of the most
deadly germs known to medical science.
1t acts somewhat similar TO ptomaine
poisoning, only it Is described by sur.
geons as being muc.l more virulent.
DR.. John Riegelmann, Medical Exam
liner for Bronx county, said that so pow.
erful is this bacillus that a single germ
injected into guinea pig would cause
death in six hours. 1t multiplies so rap
idly. he said, that single germ in q
short time would become ten million.
1T takes about a day for the germ &,
have its effect on a human being" said
DR.. Riegelmann. Death usually oc-
cures within day and half. There is
no cure for the disease it causes"
DR.. Riegelmann said he recalled similar
cases several years ago, when thirty-six
students of Leland Stanford University,
in California, died as the result of eating
bean salad, in which ripe olives were
among the ingredients.
DR.. Riegelmann last evening received in
formation that the University of Illinois
has a quantity of serum which will kill
the bacilli botulini. He sent a telegram
requesting that some of it be sent to New
York at once.
Those Of the Delbene family who died
yesterday were Paul Delbene, the father,
who died in the morning, and his son, An
thony, nine years old, who died in the
afternoon. Paul Delbene's two brothers,
Angelo and Dominick, are expected by the
physicians at Fordham Hospital to die
within twenty-four hours. Conchetta,
daughter of Paul Delbene, is in the hos
pital, but has not been taken i'll, as it de-
veloped that she had eaten none OF the
olives.
DIR. Copeland Warns.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Health Commits
sioner, sent to the store, in East Twelfth
street, where the olives were purchased
and seized all ripe olives in stock. num-
bering seventy-one bottles. They were of
the large variety. AS a matter OF precau-
ton, DR.. Copeland issued warning to the
effect that the public should not for a.
time eat any large ripe olives.

Graduated from Oxford,
Mr.. De Koven was born in Middletown,
Conn, April 3. 1861. Some of his ancestors
figured gallantly in the Revolution. His
father was an Episcopal clergyman, who
took up residence in England in 1872. That
brought his young son, whose full name
was Henry Louis Reginald De Koven, to
Oxford to study. In 1880. the then very
young man was graduated from st. Johns s
College, Oxford, with high honors and
the youngest member of his class.
Previous to his graduation he studied
piano playing at Stuttgart, under Wilhelm
Speidil, in hope of becoming professional.
On quitting Oxford he returned to Stutt-
CART for another year and studied har-
mony and the piano under DR.. Lebert and
Professor Bruckner Then for six months
at Frankfort he studied harmony and
counterpoint with DR.. Huff, an eminent
writer on musical subjects. At Florence,
Italy, he studied singing under Vanuccini.
Mr.. De Koven's first attempt at musi-
cal composition was in 1884, when, fresh
from collegiate honors and musical stud
les, he wrote the words and music of a
song called Marjorie Daw." Its slight
popularity gave him a taste for fame and
he afterward wrote more than 100 songs.
The first of his more pretentious works
was a light opera entitled Cupid, Hymen
e. Co.. which was never produced owing
to financial failure of the company that
was rehearsing it. Next came "The
Begun" which Colonel McCaulrs Opera
Company produced with success in 1857.
Encouraged by this success he returned
to Europe in 1889 to study operatic compo-
sition under the great Richard Genee in
Vienna, and subsequently studied under
the distinguished specialist and composer
Leo Delibes in Paris.
While abroad he wrote "Don Quixote,"
which was followed the next year by
robin Hood" both Of which the Bos-
tonians first produced. Then. in success
sion, came THE Fencing Master" THE
Knickerbockers, The Algerian" Rob
Roy" '"rhe Tzigane." 1.-The Mandarin
"The Paris DOLL" THE Highwayman,
''The Three Dragons" "Red Feather"
Happy Land" Student King" Golden
Butterfly" 1.-THE Beauty Spot" 1.-The
Wedding Trip" and Her Little High
ness Several of these are popular to
this day, while some that have been
shelved deserve r. val.
a curious side of Mr. De Koven's life
is that after leaving college he had lean
ings toward a business career as well as
musical. and became stock broker. He
drifted into the silk business with Charles
B. Farwell, whose daughter. Anna. he
married in 1884, and remained in that busi-
ness in Chicago for seven years.
