PLAY PIANO WITH HAMMERS
Remarkable Musical instrument That
Is a Feature of Prominent Lon
don Roof Garden.

The orchestra of freak instruments
which plays on the Italian roof gar
den of the Criterion restaurant. Lon
don, has been REINFORCED by a wildly
eccentric piano, which is l. feet long,
and has to be played with hammers.
This IS the closest description
which one can give Of the Marimba,
the modern successor of the barbara
gourd piano Of the native races OF
Peru and Chilli.
Its keyboard is constructed of Sc
ries of rosewood lars, urrier which are
fixed rosewood metal resOnatOrs. The
player smites these with his hammers
as vigorously as though he were break
ing stones. and they yield notes deep
and sOnorous as those of cathedral
organ.
The specimen on the Criterion root
garden is the only one In England
London Tit-Bits.

SEPTEMBER FAILURES
IN u. S. SHOW DECLINE
In List of 1,444 Are So Fraud
ulenf Firms.

Business failures in September de-
creased about per cent over August,
according to the credit Guide. There
were 1,444 commercial defaults in the
United States. In this number were in
cluded G3 of the so-called full blooded
frauds or firms which started out with
the purpose of failing. In August there
were 1903 failures. which compares with
1.4S0 In July and 1899 in June. while in
September, 1920. the failures totalled TOT.
The average per failure for September
was s21.25O. while in August the aver
age ran to $23, 900, In July S23.T50 and In
June $4,000. while the average liability
in September. 1870. ran up to approxi-
nately $4,000. Illinois. New York. Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania contributed
a6 per cent. OF the September failures,
against "a per cent. in August and 81 ~
per cent In July.
The firms In business less than two
years continue to average about 20 per
cent. Of the total failures. with the causes
for such early suspensions divided into
two olasses--insuffloient capital and lack
Of merchandising or business experience.
Dry goods and wearing apparel lines
supplied 80 per cent. -nf the September
total. food lines 23 per cent. and house
furnishing and furniture industry 19 per
cent. The drug and chemical industry
suffered least. with about s1a per cent.
While the number of defaults in Sep

August and an increase over July and
June. 1t is regarded as gratifying. In
view of the substantial expansion of bus

IdvERPooL, Oct. 2.-The steamship Ca
ronia arrived here to-day with the body
OF Judge Peter S. Grosscup formerly of
Chicago. who died two days out from
New York. Death was due to heart
disease, according to the announcement.
The body VIII be sent back to New York.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Verification of re-
ports received yesterday that Peter s.
Grosscup, formerly United States Judge.
who presided in many nationally famous
cases, had died at sea while en- route to
England was obtained tonight by mem-
bers of his family.
Late yesterday Leslie Moon, Judge
Grosscup's son-in-law. received a cable
message that the jurist had succumbed
on board the Cunard liner Caronia a
few days out from New York. Full
details of the death have not been re-
ce.ved.
As United States Circuit Court Judge
for nineteen years. Judge Grosscup be-
came a national figure. He wrote the
finding of the Circuit Court of Appeals

imposed on the Standard Oil Company
by Judge Kenesaw M. Landis.
In q suit to determine whether the
Columbian Worlds Fair should be per-
mitted to remain open on Sundays
Judge Grosscup as a. District Judge de-
livered dissenting opinion, which was
sustained by the United States Supreme
Court.
In 1894 Judge Grosscup attracted
national attention by telegraphing to
President Cleveland a request for troops
to quell railroad strike, and on another
occasion he sent Eugene Debs, the So
cialist. to Jail for contempt of court.
In 1899 President Mckinley promoted
him to the Circuit bench. and later he
was appointed to the Court of Appeals.
He was best known in the middle West
for his handling of the Union Traction
litigation in Chicago, and was widely
criticised for making Marshall Sampsell.
his $4,000 year secretary, receiver for
the Union Traction Company at $4,000
a year.
In 1907 he and Sampsell both were
indicted in connection with an inter-
urban trolley line accident in which
mind were killed, but the indictments
were quashed after considerable court
proceedings.
Judge Grosscup was born In Ashland.
Ohio, February Is. 1852. He was a
Progressive in politics.

WORLD NEEDS NEW
LEADERS, HE SAYS
President Angel Tells Yale
Students Modern Society Is
Under Indictment.

New HAVEN. Conn, Oct. 2.-The
worlds call for leadership for men with
vision and character and hope and con-
fidence was stressed by President James
II. Angel to-day In the matriculation
address at Yale University.
Modern society has been for seven
years undergoing the most tremendous
indictment 1t has ever sustained. and
whether it is to survive in its previous
forms is to be materially modified or Is
to go the way of the civilizations of an
tiquity is still uncertain" he said.
'rhe indictment has been ostensibiy
directed against its political and eco
nomic organization. but essentially 1t Is
an assault upon the moral and religious
fabric of the social order. If capitalism.
for example, is the evil thing often al
legged, it is evil primarily because men
do not conceive themselves as members,
one of another. If monarchical absolut-
ism is evil, it is so In the first instance
because men possessing the supreme
power regard themselves and their inter-
ests as wholly superior to the rank and
file of mankind. If Democratic forms
Of government have failed wholly to Sc
cure that increase of human happiness
and justice which has often been con-
fidently predicted for them, 1t Is In part
at least because no form Of government
merely as such can protect against the
malfeasance Of men whose purposes are
sinister and selfish.
"The university community is In ex-
actly TIE same case. No matter how in
telligent its organization. how ingenious
it's devices. how generous its resources
in men and materials, 1t cannot attain
to it's full usefulness unless every men,
Der OF it is earnestly devoted to the
execution of his own particular part OF
the general task.
Modern society is calling as never
before in our lifetime for leadership. for
men with vision and character. with
trained intelligence, with hope and con-
fidence In the finer humanity that is to
come. and where shall such men be
sought. where shall they be bred. II not

RECOGNITION BY US.
NEAR, MEXICAN VIEW
Fletcher's Statement Believed
to Pave Way for Move by
Washington Soon.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 2.--The statement
of Under Secretary of State Fletcher, as
quoted by Representative Hudspeth of
Texas, bearing on the conditions upon
which recognition may be extended to
Mexico by the United States, Is treated
conservatively by the Mexican news
papers, but the American colony in gem
eral accepts It as an opportune pro-
nouncement in view of the many re-
ports current that the United States
would give immediate recognition to this
Government.
While Mexican Government officials
have in no way put an official stamp on
these rumors. majority Of the Span
ish language local newspapers have an
nounced almost daily that recognition
now was a matter of few days only.
1t was at first predicted that recogni-
ton would come on September 16. the
nations greatest holiday, and when this
prediction proved untrue the cause was
assigned to the desire of the United
States to make recognition a birthday
Gift to Mexico on September 27, an
other holiday. And now there are per-
sistent reports that recognition will
como In November before the confer
ence on the limitation of armaments
opens in Washington,
The Merican Post, an English lam
guage newspaper published by the
owner Of Ell unipcrsal, printed the fol-
lowing editorial;
Mexico has no worse enemies to-
how highly placed they may be In n
financial or other planes. who hold
out baseless hopes and assurances
that recognition by the United States
will be extended to Mexico on other
bases substantially than those which
have been publicly set forth by
Washington or who represent that
huge loans may be obtained by
Mexico for the mere asking.
Mexico's true friends can only
hope that her officials do not accept
these promises and statements at
more than their face value, which Is
nil. II Is impossible for Mexico now
TO float foreign loan. No responsible
foreign banking group will under
take TO underwrite a Mexican loan
before Mexico is recognized by the
United States. No money will be
of the United States Government
No genuine serious offer To loan
Mexico money has yet been advanced
20 the Mexican Government or Is
, now before II for consideration.
The paper concludes by saying that
facts will persist and enforce consjdera-
ton when all the bubbles that are being
blown by super optimistic, American /
callers at the National Palace have van
iehed into thin air.
