DRIVEN TO SUICIDE
|. BY CURSE Of GOLD
Guy |. Brigg, Friend Of Needy,
Too Wealthy, Greenwich
Village Believes.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3O-Greenwicn
| Village was sad yesterday. kosslle'
the model. whom everyone in the va
lage knows for her happy laugh wept
frankly and unsshamed Tiny Tim
who sells his mysterious soul
candy with ever a quip and Jest at
the end OF his tongue, talked win
lump in his throat.
The reason for the sadness was that
Guy l.. Brigg was dead.
Brigg, wealthy and OF great heart
"A good comrade Thursday morn
ing walked into the cellar or his
beautiful home. in Bound Brook, y.
J. They found him I'm the cellar with
a rope around his neck. Seemingly
with nearly everything In the world
TO live for he had decided life no
longer was worth while.
And so yesterday Rosalie, the
model and Tiny Tim" and nearly
all OF the other persons who fashion
life in Greenwich to their ideals
were haunted by an uDaccustomed
sadness.
Rosslie, the model, has lost what
ever other names she had. Pretty as
one of the pictures of herself she Is
one of those girls known to the vii
lage as real pals" Brigg was her
good friend. and yesterday as she
wept for him she told why she
thought he had reached the important
decision that life no longer" mattered
She thought that the man who had
tried so hard to be merry had found
that merriment could not be pur-
chased. And OF this and his pursuit
of pleasure she said:
Did you ever read the old story
Of Midas who was cursed with gold?
Guy always reminded me OF the old
unfortunate king. He had too much
money. 1t cursed his very life.
He often reminded me OF a man
who had made it his life's study to
pursue pleasure, and who seemed
frustrated at every turn. This was
only one instancc-there were scores
OF others.
He was lonely-horribly lonely
and that may have brought the end.
He had many friends, but somehow
none OF them quite met his needs. l
think he was too wealthy. Things
came to him without struggle, and
he could not enjoy them. Do you
not think so?"
Others in Greenwich told OF the life
of Brigg. His career certainly was
out of the ordinary. He inherited
great fortune from his father, who
was a heavy stockholder in the
1t was said when news of his death
first came that this had been dssi-
pated but this was found incorrect.
He did not, as first stated, promote
the first Greenwich Follies, and in
the Greenwich Folilcs of 1920 he had
no share at all.
But while he did not lavish money
on dissipation he lived as some Caliph
might--there in the village. Brigg
was the ready answer to the gentle
touch. He never wanted the loans he
made repaid to him.
Forget it,
Those who knew him well said this
was part of his creed. He had friends
many of them-but it was said he
doubted them, for he thought pos
sibly his money had purchased the
friendship.
He gave with the kindliness that
was in him and yet, fearing and
hating the power of money, he felt
always that possibly the smile of
gratitude was merely purchased He
lived alone in his home, no friend. no
companion-not even. a dog.

Indiana Sets Example
in Efficiency by Call
ing Conference of State
Leaders in Department
Legion Christmas in Every
Hospital Where There
Are Ex-Service Men, Is
F. W. Calbraith's Plan

A precedent has been established by
the department Of Indiana, American
Legion, which not only has excited
favorable comment by legionnaires all
over the country, but which probably
will be followed by other departments.
Recently the commanders and adju-
tants Of each Of tho 812 Legion posts
III Indiana were summoned to a con-
ference with state officials, and the
speed and efficiency with which state
problems were disposed Of vindicated
the Judgment of the Official responsible
for the unique gathering, L. r. Gignil-
hat, state commander.
Such a conference in New York
would, it is felt by leading legion
naires in this department, do much
toward cementing more strongly the
posts Of this state and result in great
benefit to the organization. Where
there are more than nine hundred
posts under one department head, an
in so gXat territory, there is bound
to be differences OF opinion from time
to time, and il is declared that such a
gathering would be tho best stabilizer
possible.
The one drawback to euch q plan at
this time would appear to be lack of
funds in the state treasury, but after
the first Of the year it may be possible
for Commander Blakeslee to arrange
Tor conference.

where the race started; namely, Alan
R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club
of America. Second. that there was
complete lack of commissioners in
specting the balloons. Third, that Mr..
Hawley did not request the competitors
to produce pilots licenses. Fourth.
that the commissioner did not verify
the cubic capacity Of each balloon.
Fifth. that the competitors were not

dering it impossible TO ascertain

II. A. Jones, English
Playwright, I'll e r e
To Produce Films
Says Britain Hasn't Reacted
Sufficiently From War
Yet for Serious Drama;
Gives All Time to Screen

Henry Arthur Jones, the English
playwright, arrived here yesterday on
the Cunard liner Imperator, after an
absence of five years,
Since his last visit to America he
has given much serious study to the
motion picture industry. and brought
with him the manuscript of a new play
and several motion picture scenarios.
Mr.. Jones came here, he said, TO
spend three months in connection with
his plays and picture ssnopses.
"The stage in England" said Mr..
Jones, ":s not favorable just now for
serious dramatic thought. ! would
have no difficulty in finding persons
to produce my plays, but it is diff
cult to find the proper theaters in
which to present them. l am at pres
than in the spoken drama. ! took little
Or no interest at first in the motion
picture, but of late have found it q
most fascinating occupation.
My interest in the films, being para
mount to my interest in the spoken
drama, is to me what new toy is to
q child. There seems to be unlimited
opportunity for development in the
field of motion pictures. Such q de-
velopment / realized when I saw John
Barrymore in the screen presentation
Of 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde In this
unspoken drama he seemed 20 me tc
have risen to the dramatic heights
that Henry Irving did in the spoken
play.
"The films are different form Of
imaginative fiction and l believe they
never will compete with tho spoken
drama on its own ground Neither
will the drama have the epic scope
and variety Of the finn, which has be
come the refuge for imaginative drama

nor can it supply adequate quantities
OF lumber for construction snd other
purposes.
Under Mr.. Pratt's plan the state
would teach landowners forestation in
much the same manner as that by
which they now are being taught scien-
tific farming through county farm
bureau agents.
The plan calls for ths creation Of
ten forest districts. eaen district under
the supervision of an expert forester.
The farmers would be taught the value
or their woodlands. and steps would be
from which timber has zen removed.
This program would call for the en-
largement of the states tree nurseries.
At present about five thousand trees
are being planted annually under the
supervision Of the commission.
