GIRL IN RIVER

Miss Grace Byrne, a. years old
|of 1901 Massachusetts, Ave. n. W.

heroism Of q friend.

girls had been, caught in the swift
current Of the deep river.
Miss Byrne, Miss Henderson, and
Miss Marybelle Williams were Wad.

shore when the first two started
Il race out toward the middle Of
the channel. which IL quite deep a.
suddenly the two girls found
themselves caught In the current Of
the river and over their heads.
They became panic stricken.
Miss Byrne seeing Miss Hender-
son in trouble and feeling herself
being swept on by the waters, be-
came excited and began padding
desperately and shouting for help.
She made little progress, however.
Miss Henderson, steadied by her
friends danger, forgot that she
was an inexperienced swimmer and
went to Miss Byrne's rescue.
Grasping her by the belt strap Of
her bathing suit, Miss Henderson
held Miss Byrne above the water
until friends on shore could get to
the rescue. Meanwhile she herself
went under several times.
While the two girls were strug-
Cling to keep to the surfacse, M.
B. Schuey, the host, who is only q
fair swimmer plunged In to help but
he also was caught in the rivers
swift current.
The two other male members OF
the party, Christopher Morley and
w. A. Bolinger, both in their street
clothes, jumped In and pulled the
unconscious form OF Miss Byrpe to
the shore. Miss Henderson, prac
tically exhausted, managed to swim
in unaided.
The three couples were outing at
Magnolia Camp, owned by Schuey,
when the near tragedy took place.

JOHNSON CITY. Tenn, July
3e.-Did boyish desire to raid .
watermelon patch last August set
into motion q train Of events
which already has caused two
deaths and has divided southeast
Greene county, near here, into two
hot factions?
And did DR.. w. A. Carter, re-
spected Greene county physician,
plot with Gerald Park and Peter
Harmon to murder I'll Brotherton
II revenge for the death Of Car
ter's son, John Biddle Carter, and
tbs wounding Of Harmon's son
last August?
Three Arrested
These are the two questions con.
Fronting Greene county officials,
who have arrested Carter. IS;
Parks. Is, and Harmon, so, charg-
Ing them with responsibility for
Bfctherton's death last Monday.
On that fatal evening, Brother
ton. while seated at the family
table in his home, was killed by a
shot fired from the darkness out
side the house, the shotgun charge
striking him in the back.
Bloodhounds placed on the trail
led officers to the Parks home and
this, together with other evidence
IA possession Of the officers. It is
stated, led to the three arrests.
But In the minds Of most Greene
county citizens the original cause
OF Brotherton's death was a fatal
raid made on his watermelon patch
last August. Til Brotherton and
inia brother Sam, prominent Greene
county farmers, had q prize water
melon patch which had attracted
considerable attention and, in order
70 prevent Juvenile depredations,
they were closely guarding it.
Boy Il Killed
One dark night In August, last
year. a party Of boys entered IT,.
Shots were fired by the Brother4
tons. II was alleged, and John Bid
die Carter, 15-year-old son Of DR..
Carter, was killed. Others in the
party were struck, including son
Of Peter Harmon.
I'll and Sam Brotherton were ar
tested, tried and found guilty, being
bsutenced to 10 years in the peni-
tentiafy.
The case was appealed. Feeling
ran high in the community, becom-
lng divided into two factions, one
-. feeling that the Brotherton's were
tully justified in protecting their
property, the other claiming that
hiring into q bunch Of boys at
night was untustifiable.
On the second trial the Brother
IONS were found guilty Of man
slaughter and were sentenced to
from two to five years.
This sentence also was appealed
and the BFothertons were released
under bond pending the hearing Of
the appeal. It was while waiting
for his hearing that Brotherton was
killed.
GOT $500 JUDGMENT
IN the meantime, DR.. Carter
brought suit for $25, 900 against Til
Brotherton and was awarded $500.
This and the costs in the case
were paid last week, it IL said. The
various developments and trials
have kept feeling running high and
members Of Brotherton's family
state that he had been threatened
and was very apprehensive.
He was visiting his father when
killed last Monda~. Accusations arc
made that his death was the result
of n plot between the men arrested

MOVIES AN AID IN
 MUSIC LESSONS
Said to Remove the Tedium Of
 the Courses

Rochester, N. Y, Marsh 12 LP}- The youngeter who has nQ liking fer music lessons but finds keen delight in the movies, would find the agony of of the lesson reduced and the pleasure of the movie augmcnts were he to attend this institution where the two are combined.
 The lessons are given in a minia- ture motion picture theater, and the embryo musicians, as he practices, can gaze simultaneously upon in strument and pictures. More than that, he can make his own music for the pictures, and possibly select the pictures to suit his mood and his music.
 In tha Eastman School of Music, q department of the University of Rochester course is given for mo- ton picture organists. Of course there is some work in connection. The would-bo organists must study technique, theory take piano les sons. learn the clements of har- mony and acquire for themselves an extensive repertoire of selections.
 But the movies are underlying and essential and the students spend no little time each week in playing an organ in q miniature movie thcatcr There Is a tiny screen at one end of tho auditorium upon which arc thrown films of various types taken from the schools H. hrary Of seventy rcels--scpHiCs, news reels, cartoons, feature pictures and tho like. About dozen seats ac- commodate the "audience," usually members of the class.
 Across the rear of the hall Is a desk for the teacher, and at one side is the practice motion picture organ, with all the trick stops" which produce "orchestral effects" to suit the action of the picture.
 Not only must the student learn to use the motion picture organ to its fullest extent and 10 acquire a repertoire, but he must also learn the difficult but fascinating art of . Improvisation. Then he must be able to supply the necessary accom- panimont for soloists; to develop tho theme of the picture in music with cohcrcncc and emphasis; 10 know the practical mechanics not alone of his organ, but of the thea ter itself, tho psychology of the au- dionCc, the writing of scenarios and cueS and build mp within himself q general thcQtriCal atmosphere.

 BE GIVEN MUSEUM
Things Gathered in Polar Trips
 Being Preserved

Chicago March l2 Pl-The pack of implements brought back from the North land by Eugene r. Me Donald in command of the s. s. Peary Of the MacMillan Arctic Ex- petition last summer, has proven inadequate to meet requests from universities and museums.
 Here are some of the souvenirs he has distributed:
 Kiloute--A primitive musical in- strument, made Of walrus rib and walrus spleen. It can be played only by Angekok--miracle workers and Mcdonald, who gave the Es- kimos a radio concert, and Mac Milan. who showed them moving pictures, were thus cassed.
 kayack--The Esquimaux one-man boat made of seal skin.
 Umiak-The women's boat, usual ly rowed by eight or ten women and steered by the oldest man in the village.
 Unsook-Jointed harpoon, ivory tipped. harpoon line and float
 Ulu-EsquimauX womans knife, which is buried with her when she dies.
 Kapita-Man's reindeer jacket. Polar bear skin pants and seal skin boots go with this costume.
 The boys suit of the Esquimaux is made of blue fox with the polar bear pants, while the pants of the girls are made of seal skin. A beaded collar of an Esquimaux girl is q beautiful example of primitive workmanship each girl being her own dyer and designed. The femi- nine clothing includes a necklace and a hat.
 The chief household utensil of the Esquimaux, soapstone lamp or stove using a moss wick, is one of Commander NcDonald's treasures. Others are an Esquimaux pipe, ivory handel dog whip, soapstone dish. eiderdoWn blankets. gut bird net, bullet mold, and hand carved ivory.

The present insistence on ele- gance is mainly responsible for the wide use of velvet for daytime cos tunes. This luxurious material is no longer reserved for formal evening gowns and wraps, the mode having decreed its acceptance for afternoon frocks as well as for the less formal street outfits and sport dresses.
 That velvet is an ideal fabric for the semi-formal street suit is appar- ent in the youthful model sketched today. This smart outfit is deep brown velvet trimmed with match ing fur and completed by an over blouse of gold and silver metal cloth.
 In addition to these luxurious fabrics there is the interest of a new and very youthful silhouette. natural waist line, from where if flares into a narrow peplum. This widening of the lines just below the hips has been called the 'page- boy" contour, so reminiscent is it of the costumes worn by the small pages in the Middle Ages. The skirt is finely tucked about the hips and looped under at the hem-line.
 The short jacket of this brown velvet costume is bcltoi at nor maj waist-line and trimmed with ] dark brown fur.
