Suffered From Overwork

He left home just before Labor Day
to go TO the Delaware Water Gap for a
vacation. For some time he had been
complaining of the strain of overwork
and resulting headache.
Many times yesterday after Mrs.
Broderick came to Camden attempts
were made to bring back her husbands S
memory. Any questions relating to his
past life went unanswered, as though
made to an absolute stranger.
When he arrived home last night the
first sight Of his home brought realizn-
tion Of who he was aud the fact his wife
was in the automobile with him. Other
members of the family who stepped
from the house brought additional re-
mcmbrance.
Everything is still very vague in Mr..
Brodcrick's mind. No cfforC has been
made to learn where his time was spent
between Labor Day, when he left the
hotel ut the Gap. and Wednesday night,
when he walked into the Camden Court
house and told police he had lost his
memory

Kubelik Protects His ,
Violin in Sea Crash
Places Life Belt Around His $l25,OOo
Stradivarius as Ships Collide.

LONDON.-To put a life belt
around the case containing his famous
Stradivarius was the first thought OF
Ian Kubelik when the Ostend mail
boat ian Breydel, on which he was a
passenger. ran into a Norwegian sail
ing freighter Friday in the tog OH
Goodwin Sands.
Describing his experiences today, the
violinist explained that he values his
Stradivarius at $125,000, and when
travelling he keeps it always in sight
With its companion Guarnerius 1t lies
in padded wooden box under a silk
en-, rose olored cushion embroidered
in gold, with the words "venl, vidi
vici," The box is carried in leather
case.
When the freighter doomed up in
the fog Kubelik was sitting in his
deck cabin reading Balzac, with the
violin by his side.
81 stepped on deck" he said, land
saw a small vessel only so yards away
There was a big shock when the col
lision came, but the people on our boat
were not thrown down and there was
no panic. The Jan Breydel stopped
and launched three boats. could not
look at the steamer going down and
turned my head away. For such a
big drama there was very little eX-
element, though lives were lost. There
would have been more excitement, per-
haps, before the war, but people are
used to these things and are not so
sensitive about loss OF lives.
81 felt calm. Something told me
nothing was going to happen to me:
l did not think of myself. I thought OF
my violin. A man can move for him
self, violin cannot"
Then Kubelik hurried to his cabin
and fitted a life belt to his beloved
violin.
The sailing vessel sank in four min
utes after the collision with the loss OF
eleven lives. Her captain sprapg from
the bridge with his wife in one arm,
baby in the other, and. his young
son clinging to his coat. His wife and
baby were drowned, but he and the
other child were saved.

Savannah, where she attended the Sill

officer but as the only representative
of the Dawson Woman's Club, and
