Man Found Dead in
Home Is Thought To
Be Music Teacher
Owen, Said To Be known as
Morosini, Had Pictures
of Caruso, Mary Garden
and Other Singers

Herbert w. Owen, said to be known
in music circles as Robert Morosini,
was found dead in the hallway of his
home, 35lS Avenue L, Brooklyn, early
yesterday morning, when neighbors,
who had seen nothing of him for two
days, notified the police, who forced an
entrance through the rear Of the house.
The body was found near the foot Of
the stairs leading from the upper floor,
and was clothed only in underclothcs.
1t is supposed that he stepped from his
bed to answer phone call, and in go
ing to the phone, which is on the first
floor, was taken with one Of the faint
ing spells with which he was afflicted
and fell down the stairs. The shock Of
the fall brought on lung hemorrhagc,
and, as he was alone, he bled to death
An ambulance surgeon was called
from the Kings County Hospital. and
he said the man had been dead for two
days. The body was left as it was until
an autopsy was performed yesterday
afternoon and then it was removed to
the Morgue.
Owen, according to neighbors, is said
to have come to the ncighborhood about
year ago to live at the house with
his mother but that she left couple
of months ago and he has been living
alone ever since. He was thought to be
a teacher of music, and his home con-
talns many autographed pictures of ia
nous operate stars and musicians,
chief among which are those of Caruso,
Schumann nHeink, Mary Garden and Os-
SQnUOr rn
tlques from all parts of the world and
IN the music room there is grand
piano inlaid with ivory and said to be
worth in the neighborhood of $4,000.
According to Frank Weaver, florist,
who lives at 321 West Twenty second
Street, he has known the man for
about thirty years. He said that in
the '90s Morosini was tenor in the
old Duff, Wilbur, Andrews and Emmet
Abbott Opera Companies. He said
that be was the stepson of the late
J John f. Owen, famous comedian in
his time, and had played in the first
of "Erminie" at the Casino
Theater. Records of these old COM
panies however, fail to mention any
thing Of either Owen or "Morosini.",
Weaver said that he had been with
Owen on Sunday night, in New York,
and that they had planned to go back
into vaudeville, with a sketch they had
done fifteen or twenty years ago, called
mississippi From the West" He had
had one Of his fainting spells, that eve
ming. Nobody had seen him alive
since that time, except the postman
on his route, who said that he had
delivered mail to him on Tuesday eve
ling.
Papers and cards found in the
louse showed that he had served in

is 1T WORTH WHILE?

When you find that you tire easily,
when happiness fails through head
ache, backache, nervousness,-then
ask yourself: as it worth while to
wear harmful shoes"
Physicians assert that the bad eff
fects of wrongly shaped shoes are
far-reaching. The unnatural posture
induced by high heels throws the in
ternal organs out of position. Re-
sulting troubles often necessitate
operations.
The women who would be at her
best and brightest will wear Can
tilever Shoes. Their flexible arches,
which conform to the natural action
of the foot and allow the muscles
free play, enable you to walk or stand
correctly with minimum fatigue, and
eliminate all danger of weak or fall
en- arches.
They stimulate-not retard-the
circulation which brings to the cheeks
bewitching glow. They do not
abuse the nerves which run from the
feet up through the body even to the
eyes. Knowing that your physical
perfection starts with your feet. you
can take satisfaction in the thought
tn. your Cantilever Shoes conduce
+ your health and charm. your youth

A SIGNIFICANT VICTORY

The overwhelming majority
for the Democratic ticket at the
polls on Tuesday is significant III
more than one aspect. 1t means
the answering loyalty OF the Old
Dominion to the traditions and
principles OF Democracy. 1t in
dictates a scathing rebuke to the
slanderous Republican propa-
ganda that has been prevalent III
the state for the past three or
four months. 1t is singing re-
primand to the lavish lmporta-
ton of Republican money and
Republican speakers during the
campaign. 1t implies an unquall-
fed endorsement OF the men who
offered themselves for public Of
flee. A wave of indignation has
apparently swept over the state
and its mighty volume has borne
the Republican party down to ut
ter destruction.
Black Republicans and white
Republicans met a common doom.
As for the latter, they are lett
political orphans and we predict
that thousands Of them will stink
back in the next twelve months.

tic gates for re-admission. And
If the gates are not opened to
them, they will crawl under the
fence.
-.
And yet! the reports from all
over the state are appalling as TO
the apathy OF the electorate. The
situation is desperate i'll Virginia
and something must be done to
arouse the voters. With some
thing like 100000 eligible voters.
we doubt if the returns will show
100000 who went to the polls.
Here in Alexandria wee have.
Approximately $500 qualified
voters; and only 100 thought
enough of their inestimable fran
chise to exercise it. This is dis
graceful. 1t is a stigma and a re-
proach to our citizenship. More
than one Virginia newspaper, in
Guiding the Gazette, urged the
Importance Of every man and wo-
man expressing their will on cleo
ton day. Speakers dwelt upon
it, the Republicans themselves at
tempted TO make campaign ma
terial out Of it, but to no avail.
This way danger lies! And ii
ever Our Republic shall founder
upon the rocks Of destruction it
will individually be because an in
dolent and selfish people have
given up their government into
the hands OF the professional poll
tician. We are at a lack to pre-
scribe a remedy. 1t must, indeed,
be drastic if allowed to go I'M
needed. But we hope. at least,
that the Civic Bureau Of our
Chamber Of Commerce will give
the matter deserved attention this
winter, and devise some means
whereby AleXandrians can be
made to see their civic duty and
perform it!

many more would do SO could mothers

Aid can be, especially in the home OF
several small children. Besides the
neat bandages, sterilized and sealed

cuts and minor wounds of childhood,
and the adhesive tape for binding the

fected surfaces and many other aids
for everyday emergencies, with book

punches of dusty cobwebs were stuff
fed into gaping wound, and chunks
of fat bacon bound over punctureS
made by rusty nails. In the enlighten-
ed home these crude methods are as
obsolete as bleeding for fevers.

ABOUT THE HOUSE
by R. S.

Here is an item that might be OF
real service to some woman OF the
farm whose focks are ravaged by
owls, hawks, and other winged ma
RAIDERS. We visited one poultry and
wild fowl farm this fall where such
conditions were met and triumphed
over by the following method. A pole
about fifteen feet high was set up in
pasture overlooking the large
chicken runs. 1t is from such posi-
ton these predatory pests love to
view the landscape DER in search Of
tempting meals for hungry nestlings.
The top of this stump was samed off,
and an ordinary steel trap placed
thereon, baited with fresh meat. The
result was that scarcely a day or
night passed that bird of prey was
not captured and properly dealt with
much to the increase and content
ment Of the hocks.

Indian singer. has been engaged to
appear on the program at the santa

during the fiesta and will probably

She was heard here several years
ago with Charles Wakefield Cad

only daughter of her race among
those who have left the reserva-

who still clings to the traditional

a dress of beaded leather, mocca-
sins and a beaded band about aer
head. Her loyalty to the dress of
her ancestry is due, primarily, 70
the expressed wish of her mother.

always retain the individuality of her

white singer quite imparts. She
has already earned recognition
throughout the, world as the fore

MARKET FOR FARM
PRODUCTS IMPROVES
IN ARTESlA REGION

Artesia, N. NJ, Aug. 30.-Farm-
ers in this section of the state are
more optimistic than they have
been for several weeks. Alfalfa
is being shipped in larger quanti-
ties than any time previously this
season. Several carloads are being
shipped daily. The price at this
time is $40 per ton with prospects
bright for an advance. Several
thousand tons are stored In large
barns and stacked in the fields
caused by the poor market and
the poor price.
The apple crop is moving at a
rapid rate many cars having been
shipped to the markets. Many
hundreds of acres of late apples
are to be picked and shipped later.
Pears and grapes have almost
all been rvested. The quality
was the very best and demanded a
good price. Everything seems to
be In better condition than any
time previously this summer.

The straight line frock Of trico-

model with the we'll dressed wom-
an. Although a month ago 1t was
held that beads were passe as far
as trimming on cloth frocks and
suits was concerned, here we see
that beads hold the same high
place they have held for several
seasons. 1t was also predicted
that the straight lines would give
way to something new, just what
was not determined, but again we
see that the straight lines persist
and there is not much new on the
horizon lat least in the matter of
street frocks.
This lovely frock Is made of
Poiret twill on the popular straight
lines with a narrow belt placed
low and loosely at the waistline.
1t is most elaborately embroidered
and decorated with red nail beads,
rendering 1t most gorgeous and
sparkling creation. The beading
marks the neckline, the armholes
and the bell sleeves, as we'll as the

ANSWERED LETTERS.

Gracia: Your physician should
direct you regarding the kind OF
treatment for those joints.
Discouraged: Have the ends of
the hair singed once each month
and massage the scalp. using q
tonic in which there is some oil.
Anxious: These blemishes will
likely all disappear as your little
girl grows UP. Children throw off
so many things that it is not neoes-
sary to worry over anything except
such troubles as may hinder their
development.
q. A. c.: Message the scalp with
a tonic that contains some oil. A
hot crude oil massage occasionally,
just before the regular shampoo,
will improve that condition.
Sylvia: Ear puffs are no longer
in style. Wear the hair SO it will
partly cover the ears, but not in
any exaggerated style that requires
padding as the one you mention.
D. D. D.: A girl of 16 who IL
studying should have about nine
hours sleep each night, as she is
not only under strain In her
school work, but is also growing.
Teddy, With such high color you
should aim to wear the colors that
subdue it, such as grey, soft shades
of green, dark shades of all colors
and black or cream colors.
Z. M. D.: You should weigh 12S
pounds instead of 1913.
M. A. B.: The oils mentioned will
darken, but will not help the lashes
to grow. If you send stamped

to send you formula for an eye
