The lessons are given in a minia-

make his own music for the pictures,
and possibly select the pictures to
suit his mood and his music.
In the Eastman School of Music. a
department of the University of
Rochester, a course is given for mo-
ton picture organists. OF course, there
is some work in connection. The
would-be organists must study tech
nique, theory, take piano lessons,
learn the elements of harmony and
acquire for themselves an extensive
repertoire of selections.
But the movies are underlying and

MARTINSBURG, W. Va. March
20.-Investigation of the circumstances
surrounding the concealing of the
bodies of four infants in the attic OF
an unoccupied house at Cherry Run,
25 miles from here, was continued to-
night by District Attorney H. G. Allen
and Sheriff III. w. Hovermale of Nor
gan County.
Announcement was made that ar
rests might be expected in day or 80.
but developments in the case were not
divulged by Mr.. Allen.
The bodies were uncovered yeSter-
day in the attic of an empty house
owned by G. l.. Butts of Martinsburg.
Peter French, who had been hired to
clean up the residence. carried guam
tity of rubbish from the attic to the
bank Of a creek nearby. Later boys
found the body of an infant in the
pile of cast-off clothing and other
articles. The authorities were noti-
fed and a search of the attic revealed
the other bodies. French said he did
not notice the first body when he car
ried the rubbish to the creek.
Three of the bodies, county officials
said. were apparently those of infants
about three weeks old, while the fourth
appeared somewhat Younger. The con
dition of one. 1t was said, indicated
that the child had not been dead for
any great length of time. They were
found wrapped in old blankets and
articles of clothing.
No marks were found to indicate
that the infants met death through
violence.
District Attorney Allen said that thc
house had been occupied for several
years by Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Roe
a middle-aged couple with grown uIl
children. who moved to Cumberland
Md, last January /. Roe, Mr.. Allen
said, was an employe of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad. No one had
