Mrs. Herbert at once saw that the fat
was in the fire and she set about getting
a remedy. She called upon Mrs. Turner
and her daughter, Miss Jean. She ex-
planned the situation-a distinguished
composer striving to bring into the world
yet another great American light opera,
silence a necessity. noise from people next
door completely destroying his genius.
What would Mrs. Turner and her eleven
musicians suggest to do about il?
They were sympathetic and agreed at
once to move the pianos to tn west wall
OF the house, as far from tie Herbert
home as possible. They lowered one piano
from the top floor so that It would not be
quite so close to Mr.. Herbert's noise-proof
sanctum.
But the youthful vigor of those HUSKY
young fingers on the keys of the pia. Ios
and the lusty lungs Of those enthusiastic
singers penetrated the walls OF the COM
poser's retreat with perfect ease. The
genius OF the composer would not function
What should be done?
Various hints and suggestions we're con.
veyed to the musical people next door that
they ought to shut up or get out or go into
some other business This Mrs. Turner
and her girls declined to do, so Mrs. Her
bert went to the court and had Mrs. Tur-
ner brought before the Magistrate on the
charge OF disorderly conduct. Magistrate
Mcclellan listened with some astonish.
ment to both sides, but said that really
there had been no disorderly conduct on
the part Of Mrs. Turner's dodgers and that
no law had been violated. II any power
could reach this situation the Magistrate
suggested that It might be the Health De.
partment. But the Health Department
was unable to see wherein 1t had the right
to interfere with ambitious young girls
seeking musical culture.
Victor Herbert has gone to bed Ill. His
artistic temperament Is completely upset
With the resounding noise OF the four
pianos and the seven voices next door he
is utterly unable to even compose his own
thoughts. Mrs. Herbert is almost sick
with the situation.
Mrs. Herbert was herself once an opera
singer and she comments with some acid
ity on the musical bunch next door.

Placid, he was able to insure noiseless
neighbors during his vacation season.
With his noise-proof room at the top OF
his city residence he felt that he need not
bother about his neighbors on either side
of his home on One Hundred and
Eighth street. And who would have sup
posed in this fancied security that little
happening In Cincinnati would be destined
to turn the composers serenity and peace
into a nightmare of misery?
When DR.. Ferry Luck, well-known
music master, severed his connection with
the Cincinnati Conservatory OF Music and
came to New York few months ago
seven of DR.. Luleks favorite pupils. young
ladies' with voices that cried out for culti-
walton, followed the music master to his
new field of usefulness in New York.
DR.. Luck found the seven faithful pupils
a home in One Hundred and Seventh
street-a block away from the Herbert
home The girls were delighted with Jolly,
lively New York and wrote home to Gin
cinnati such happy accounts that three
more girls Joined them-a violinist and
two pianists. Mrs. Mary Turner ran the
house and mothered them, fed them and
chaperoned them. Mrs. Turner's charm
ing daughter, Miss Jean, assisted as
musical teacher and looked after the
pupils piano practice. There were plenty
OF pianos and food and room and amuse-
ment.
And then things began to happen. The

know singing. have heard many poor
singers in my day-but this-what they
call singing, these girls!"
Next door the musical household Is quite
calm. Miss Turner, one of the instructors,
said:
I'VE are sorry II we annoy the Herberts,
but what can we do We have moved the
pianos. We do not practice all the pianos
and all the voices at one time, as Mrs
Herbert said No doubt the Herberts do
not enjoy our music. II is quite likely that
they do not appreciate our music Thank
heavens, It isn't the kind of music Mr.
Herbert writes. We play classical music!"
When Victor HERRERA tried to make the
law straighten out his trouble for him he
discovered a rather curious situation. he
thought, and most people believe, tina.
there is a way of having the Police or the
Health Department suppress annoying
noises. And this is true-and 1t isn't true.
What kind Of a noise annoys an
OYSTER" This is foolish question nobody
can answer What kind OF noise can
he suppressed in New York y?"-and
this question nobody can answer with any
certainty.
The Health Department has certain
authority over certain noises under GER
tain conditions. If parrot sticks Its head
out OF the window after IL O'Clock at night
and shrieks from time 30 time until 8
o'clock in the morning-that noise may be
gotten after by the Department OF Health
because they have a rule that the sleep
and peace Of the city must not be dis
turbed unnecessarily between IL pm. and
6 a. m.
But II that same parrot stuck its head
ont of the window and made the same
noises after O'Clock in the morning
then the Health Department would advise
YOU to go around to the Police Depart
ment and tell them about II.
Under Section 2S5 Of the Penal Code
"public nuisance is defined. A nuisance
is "a crime against the order and economy
of the State, and consists In unlawfully
ding an act, or emitting to perform
uty, and which act or omission annoys,
INJURIES or endeangers the comfort, repose,
health, or safety Of any considerable num-
Der of persons"
Victor Herbert made his first move
against his musical neighbors under sec
ton OF law, making Il "disorderly conduct"
But could the composer have secured a
judgment against the musical young wo-

house where the musical girls were living
was sold and Mrs. Turner and her musical
boarders were compelled to look about LOT
another residence. Just at that time VIC
tor Herbert's amiable neighbors, for some
reason, gave up their lease and moved
away.
Already the reader guesses what is go
ing to happen.
Yes, DR.. Lulek's faithful following OF
musical young women moved in next door
to Victor Herbert!
There were four pianos, one violin and
eight voices-all going together-in that
crowd Of eleven young musical geniuses
next door to Victor Herbert, the composer:
Up in that specially built noise-proot
room the composer began to realize tnat
something was not right. Through the
deadened walls travelled the noise OF the
battery Of pianos and the high notes from
the vigorous young lungs next door All
his trouble and expense In building tnat
noise-proof vault was futile against the
combined noise Of those eleven worthy
and vigorous noise.makers.
The gentle touch on the piano OF the
obliging young lady who preceded the
musical eleven at No. 323 had not been
enough to penetrate the silence OF Victor
Herberts retreat. But the combined
vibrations OF the musical eleven easily
we're heard inside the vault, and the COM
poser and his work were brought to an
immediate standstill.

men IL he had started after them under
the public nuisance law?
He would have met defeat because the
singing and playing did not interfere with
the comfort and repose "of any consider
able number Of persons" The law is con-
strued to mean that more than one house
hold, a whole neighborhood, is meant by q
considerable number Of persons"
There is also an ordinance as to street
noises and noises in public places. This
noise law is meant to cover hospital
streets, school streets, noisy AUTOMOBILES
and street peddlers and hawkers. 1t says
that junkmen must not ring bell weigh
ing more than six ounces in the street,
nor more than three bells at a time.
Jolting, resounding rails cannot be car
ried through the streets. Show men must
not beat drums, blow comets or play other
musical instruments without a license.
But all this refers entirely to street noises.
II the musical young ladies would only
step outside their house and sing from the
.street-then Mr. Herbert would have them
in his grasp. The young women could be
fined and imprisoned for singing their
scales on the front steps Of their house
because that would be a street noise. But
so long as they sing their scales inside
their residence, even though the lusty
notes travel out into the Summer air
through their windows and back in through
the windows Of Mr. Herbert's house-no
law is violated.
And there is one more possible avenue
OF approach. There is a section in the
Code relating to noises from animals and
birds. II reads: "No person owning oc-
cupying, or having charge of any build
ing or premises, shall keep or allow there
on any animal or bird, which shall by
noise disturb the quiet or repose Of any
person therein or in the vicinity, to the
detriment of the life or health Of such
person"
But would any police magistrate be so
mean as to consider the melodious noises
from Mr.. Herbert's neighbors as worthy
Of suppression like the yowl Of a dog or
the chirping Of canary or the screams
Of q parrot?
And so careful survey Of the whole
length and breadth of possibility Of muz-
zling these musical girls by law seemed
to offer no possibilities Of success. They
would not come ont on the street and
make their noises, they would not make
cat-calls and growl, or bird noises, they
would not pound the pianos after II o..
clock at night-nothing they did seemed
to come within the grasp Of any section
of any law.

Herbert. But what is there to be done
about It! He and his wife and his lawyer
and their friends have studied the situa.
ton from every point Of view and they are
unable TO see any reasonable suggestion
for relief.
Three alternatives have been suggested
to Mr.. Herbert-that he give up compos.
ing music that he move to the woods, that
he consult a ouija board. But neither one
OF these alternatives appeals to the dis
tinguished composer.
