Zalda Ash of South Orange
Sticks to Story Of Negro
Assailant.

Police of South Orange are at a loss
to understand how Zaeda Ach, IL.
daughter of David NJ. Ach, an architect
with an office in Manhattan. could have
been attacked, bound and robbed by a
negro on Friday night with a nurse and
younger sister in a nearby room un-
aware OF what was happening.
The girl has told the same story to
the police and to her parents, who were
away at the time, without changing any
essential details The Ach home is in
an apartment in ) Centre street, South
Orange. Zaeda says she left her sister
and Hildred Tenistrom, the nurse, In
the living room to go to her mothers
bedroom to get book. AS she entered
the room, she told the police, a negro
sprang from behind the bed. seized an
old fashioned revolver hanging on the
wall and threatened to shoot her.
The girl said she told him he couldn't
hurt her with that firearm and that he
then seized her, tied her hands behind
her back with Irvine and gagged her
with a handkerchief She said she could
see him going through the bureau draw
ers and taking jewelry belonging to her
disappeared through an open window.
Zaeda ran back TO the living room and
told the nurse what had happened. DR..
G. $. kanouse was called in and he. no.
titled the police.
The police have questioned the girl
and all persons in the house at the time
An elevator man on duty at $3.50 o'clock,
when the girl said the attack occurred
said he had heard no one enter the
house. The nurse and the younger sis
ter heard nothing.
One of the points puzzling the police
is tie childs statement the man I'M
bound and ungagged her before he fled.
They do not think it logical burglar
would take such a risk even with so
young victim. DR.. Lawrence NJ. DEM
Arrest sent by the police, reported her
body bore marks of having been handled
roughly.
Zaeda has described her alleged as
sailant as about 25 years old, five feet
six inches in height and weighing about
$50 pounds. He wore tan shoes, a green
mackinaw coat and soft felt hat, ac-
cording to her story. Articles reported
missing include small gold pin inlaid
with pearls. a silver necklace, diamond

MAKES BIC HIT
WITH GERMANS
Rare and Beautiful Melodies
Are Revived by Prof.
RobIes' Researches.
BY KARL II. Won WEIGAND.
Universal Service.

BERLIN. Aug. 28.-The music of
the Incas of Peru. Bolivia and
Ecuador. resurrected by Prof. A.
Alemia Robles, a Peruvian, has
made a big hit In Germany. the
country Of classic music. The music
of the Incas has been presented for
the first time in Germany, in
Dresden.
II Is small wonder that in a com.
munity where no misery or hunger
or crime existed, where all property
was the common possession OF every
man and the state looked after the
ba abies and ailing women, that it's
peoples should naturally express
themselves in songs of praise and
glorification of powers that had
created this Utopia for them.
So II was with the Incas, whose
songs are rare and beautiful
melodies. Long before Columbus
discovered America, the Incas had
built up these ideal communities in
South America, but ii is only with.
in comparatively recent years that
the present civilized world has be-
come fully aware of the tremendous
debt 1t owes to the art, music and
general culture Of those early In
dams.
The introduction Of the European
system of private property and all
It's accompanying changes was not
sufficient to destroy many OF the
old customs Of the Sons OF Inca
(Sons of the SUM and a number of
their old festivals with the music
and dances designed especially for
them were preserved during the en-
suing years.
Prof. Robles collected about 300
melodies of the early Incas, 2S0 from
the colonial period and 79o modern
songs.
Four Of these have created an un.
usually deep impression on the
music. loving public of Germany. the
Hymn to the Sum-" THE Awaken
ing Morning in the Andes" THE
Butterflies" and the "Huanaca
Dance"
The Awakening Morning in the
Andes" Is the work Of Prof. Robles,
based on the melodies he unearthed.
"The Butterflies" was sung at the
time the corn was harvested. 1t was
supposed to represent pursuit of
butterflies over the cornfields. Young
girls represented the butterflies, and
as they sang and danced they
plucked ears OF corn. The one who
had gathered the largest number re-
ceived a handsome wedding present.
The fourth melody, the "Huanca
Dance" is an historic dance descrlb-
ing the conquest of the Huancas by
the Incas.
All of these melodies have a sim
plicity, beauty and power rarely
found.
