"Magnifying Violin

Radio has caused the invention of
a special 'magnifying VIOLIN
1t is the product of Harold Stern
director of a New York hotel
orchestra.
Stern has been broadcasting violin
music from the large stations
around New York, using his inven-
ton as the instrument. He says he
made it especially for this purpose.
The "magnifying violin is similar
10 others except for the body or
sounding box. Instead of the body.
Stern has attached n cylindrical
metal box out of which projects "A
horn.
When he draws the bow over the
string, Stern says he gets a much
louder sound out of the instrument.
The lower tones are even superior
to those produced on the regular
violin, he adds q
Another surprising feature about
this ''magnifying violin" is that it
can be use1 as a recording instru-
ment during the radio concerts. All
that need be done is separate the
cylindrical sounding box and horn
from the rest of the instrument and
attach it to the telephone receivers.

]. Man to be EIectroCuted
in This State

TRENTON. June William II.
Morehouse. convicted OF killing his
one-time pal. Hugh Campbell. a
night Waterman in a Newark factory,
paid the price in the electric chair
at the state prison here last night.
Morehouse, who was Efty-nine
years old. is the oldest murderer
to suffer the death penalty In the his
tory of New Jersey. The motive OF
the chine was robbery, and it was
accom- plished by hitting Campbell
on the head and then Kicking him 10
death. The murderer confessed to
his crime after his last hope of ac-
quittal had vanished.
Morehouse went to the chair with
out fiinching and with a grim smile
on his lips. He wore a red silk
poppy in his shirt. After the eusto-
mary three charges had been admin
istered, 1t vas found that he was
still alive and a fourth had to be
given. Thirteen amperes at an
electrical pressure of 1900 volts were
administered. the convicted man be-
Ing in the chair five minutes.
The man was converted at the
prison to Christianity or August 80
OF last year, the day that Schuck and
James, famous Camden murderers,
were executed.
Morehouse, who was SO years OF
age. lived 1t 1888 Plane street. New
ark. and was an old-time criminal,
having spent more than one-half OIL
his life in back of iron bars. lie
served four terms in the New Jersey
state prison here on charges of rob
berry and larceny. The crime for
which he paid the death penalty
here last night was a very vicious
one.
Morehouse and Campbell, who
was sixty years of age n VINO
made his home at 8 Silk street, also
Newark, had been pals for more
than thirty years prior 10 the fatai
night. The latter was employed as
a night Waterman in a cap factory
in Newark. On New Years night
1921, Morehouse went to the cap
factory and sought admission from
the Waterman. Campbell. who a
defective hearing, started to make
his regular round and
believing that the former possessed
a large sum of money, broke into
the plant.
After tracing him through the
factory for about half an hour. More
house overlook his pal and dealt
him a severe blow on the head with
his fist, rendering Campbell uncon-
scious. The aged Waterman was
then kicked to death. The slayer
robbed him of $40 and an over
coat, all that his victim possessed.
The body was found early the next
morning and the Newark police Ia
ter placed Morehouse under arrest.
The condemned man made a con-
fession to the police in which ne
wildly described the circumstances
of the crime. Judge Stickel, of the
Essex circuit, sentenced him TO die
last July, hut the case was carried
to the Court of Errors M Appeals
which tribunal upheld the convlc-
fion of the lower court.

G. o. p. MAJORITY IN MAINE
SHOWS A LARGE DECREASE

Washington, Sept. i2.-The out
standing fact in the Maine election
was that the republican MAJORITY
in 1920 "has been reduced about
sixty per cent" Cordell Hull, chair
man Of the democratic national COM
mittee declared today.
He listed as among the other out
standing facts to be drawn from
Yesterdays vote, following
"That the great slump, in the to-
tal republican vote shows there is
a large element Of Maine republic
ans who are dissatisfied with this
administration and this congress and
stayed at home rather than vote
their party ticket.
"That while the republican vote
enormously decreased, the demo-
cratic vote showed an increase of
twenty per cent over 1920.
"That the republican majorities Of
$4,000 and 10000 in 1920 were cut
down to 1000 and 10000 or less in
1922.
If republicans can get any en-
couragement from these figures,
their optimism is greater than their
discernment Of the trend of events,
Mr.. Hull said.

With the consolidation program
being enthusiastically carried out in
the rural districts, many Of the dis
tricts find themselves without a
meeting place or community center
Consolidation may create better cdu-
cational opportunity, give the rural
districts better educational facili-
ties, but it, in a large measure. kills
the community spirit, which is so
essential TO happiness and content
ment of the rural folks
Such a condition of affairs seems
to prevail in the New Home COM
mmity; some of the people find
themselves fro mis- to n miles away
from the new school building, and
the old building, which is a monu-
ment Of toll and sacrifice on the
part of the people, is to be sold They
want it. They need this building
They are to be commended for their
activity in its purchase by the dis
trict for a community building, to
hold their meetings that bring them
together and foster the community
spirit which has made them one Of
the most progressive communities
in northeastern New Mexico.
The problem Of these people was
TO find way to finance the pur-
chase of this building. They are not
wealthy. Noone feti like giving out
right to this fund. They nave found
that the Clayton people had their
ears to the ground, ready TO answer
any call that they might hear; they
therefore, sent on 5. O. S. to the
Clayton people, through the Rotary
Club, in the form of an invitation
to be present at a picnic which was
held last evening.
Not only the Rotarians and Ro-
taryanns, but the many friends of
Clayton Rotary being unable TO re-
sist the temptation io have fellow
ship with the good people of the
New Home community, especially a
chicken fry, met at the NJ, F.. Church
Thursday, promptly at 3 p NJ. The
club had invited the 80 teachers OF
the Clayton schools as their guests
for the evening, this being the OPEN
ing gun of their campaign to help
make the Clayton schools better by
showing a marked interest in them
With Rotarians wivPs, friends and
teachers, about 100 people repre-
sented Clayton.
The menu consisted of buns, fried
chicken, pickles, cake and coffee
