FLORENCE, Wis, December pa
guard kept watch today over the jail
cell of youth, said by Florence County
officials to answer in detail the de-
scription of Erdman Olson, fugitive
slayer of his sweetheart, Clara Olson.
Arrested at lumber camp near the
upper Michigan border, the youth re-
fused to give his name or tell where
he had come from. Sheriff Miles Davis
said his general appearance was the
same as that of Olson, central figure
in one of WisconSin'S strangest murder
mysteries.
The suspect, like Erdman. has two
front teeth missing and has had his
tonSils removed, according to the
sheriff. For several days he had been
under surveillance in a camp near
Tripler, 20 miles from here. He was
arrested yesterday and brought to the
county jail.
Officials of Crawford County, dag
onally across the State in the south
western section, declined to become
aroused over the arrest, although they
did send detailed description and
photographs of the missing Gale Col
lege student to Florence
The Olson case drew national at
tention three years ago and since that
time an amending search has been con-
Quoted for Erdman, who vanished from
college few days before his sweet
hearts body was found in a shallow
grave on hill near Rising Sun, Wis.
The girls parents believe Olson still
is alive and possibly living within the
State of Wisconsin.

BY BRITISH COMPOSER
Constant Lambert. at "a, Makes
Place for Himself With New
Work, "The Rio Grande."

LONDON, December % CN.AN.A)-
Constant Lambert. young English mu-
slctan, has now definitely made a place
for himself among modern composers.
His new work. THE Rio Grande," writ
ten for chorus, orchestra and solo piano
forte, caused a great sensation when it
was performed recently at Queens Hall.
Some critics say the young composer
has transformed jazz into music of real
genius. THE Rio Grande" was inspired
by poem of Sacheverell Sitwell's and
Is derived directly from native Amer
lean dance forms. 1t Is rhythmic, with
brilliant orchestration and some ex-
tremely choral writing, while the piano
part dominates the score.
Mr.. Lambert, who is the son of
George Lambert A. r. A.. and brother
of Maurice Lambert, the sculptor, is
only "a. His face is adorned with the
beginnings of sidewhiskers and he is
addicted to very vivid-colored shirts and
collars.
He composed a ballet for the late
Serge Diaghileff when he was in his
! teens and has also written a piano
sonata and the incidental music to
Matheson Lang's production of Jew
Suss." In addition he writes about mu-
sic and declares that English music was
| non-existent for nearly a century until
the advent of DR.. Vaughan williams,
whose pupil he was.
