DAMROSCH STARTS
UNIVERSITY OF AIR
Musical Lectures First Step
in Idea Sponsored by
Head of N. B. c.

Walter Damroschs musical lectures
being broadcast over station WRC and
the Blue" network represent the first
step forward in the University Of the

the president Of the National Broad

almost since the inception Of chain

he has said over the radio. is Ia send

edge snd appreciation into the schools
and the homes Of the country III SNSte-
matte COURSES Radio has afforded INN
the chance to bring his dream - trui-
tior. With the New York Symphony
Orchestra. he has broadcast one muSi-
cal instruction program and viii broad
cast two others on February 10 and
February II.
The hope is 10 set radio installed in
the claSSrooms Of schools Of the country
so that children and teachers will de-
vote special hours 70 the programs. Ac-
cor6insly. the forthcoming lectures by
Dr.. Damrasch Will be given n the morn

Individual radio stations throughout
the country have sponsored special
programs of an educational program
prepared for reception in the local
schools A striking eXample Of the Sue

Station VITO. Hartford. Conn. has
sponsored music appreciation courses
for New England schools and this month

Almost invariably behind this type of
program will be found the unqualified
support Of educationalisis. When Dr.
Damrosch gave his first lecture at New

studio room where its members listened

After Shooting

Union station here yesterday. Harry
j. Wheeler made his way to the pri-

Pullman company superintendent, and
without warning fired three times at
the official. All the bullets struck
Miller, one entering the abdomen.
AS Miller slumped 10 the floor
Robert Blumberg, Pullman employe
who was in conference with his chief,
started to leap to the aid of Miller,
but when they reached the door
Miller rose to his feet with the aid
Of a chair. Blumberg said Wheeler
again turned his pistol toward the
Pullman official and shouted:
Hes on his feet again; let me 20
back and finish him"
Then, as Miller fell across a desk
Wheeler hurriedly left the office.
Employees in other offices, attracted
by the shooting, pointed him out TO
police and he submitted TO arrest
with the remark he was on his way
to the police station anyway.
"He broke up my home" Wheeler
told Chief OF Detectives L. A. Toyne
II tried 70 kill him. He caused me
plenty Of worry and I'm glad did
it."
Wheeler. who at 81 has developed
an extensive real estate business
was described as extremely Jealous
in a divorce complaint filed by his
wife April 10. last. Mrs. Wheeler
charged her husband had refused q
provide ample funds for herself and
l0-year old daughter.
The Wheelers and Millers had been
friends for ten years. Miller recent
~ purchased stock in a company
formed BY Wheeler TO distribute an
electrical device he invented, and the
two often conferred in the Pullman
office. While Wheeler admitted he
had sought TO collect money he loaned
the Pullman official. he denied this
had anything TO do with the shoot
ing.
Miller. who is about - years old
and married. was said by physicians
TO have a chance OF recovery.
