TERMS SHAKESPEARE
KEEN BUSINESS MAN
DR.. B. Roland Lewis of University
of Utah, Says Aim Was to Be
Among Landed Gentry.

William Shakespeare was a keen
minded business man whose goal was
to establish his family among the land
ed gentry, Dr. B. Roland Lewis OF the
University of Utah last evening told an
audience of students and guests assem-
bled in the music auditorium of Catho-
lie University.
The lecturer said that, according to
his estimate of the poets earnings in
terms of modern monetary values,
Shakespeare profited to the extent of
approximately 100000 from the writ
ings OF his plays. He lent money at
usurious rates of interest and evaded
the payment of his taxes, and was cited
for boarding grain. He engaged III con-
siderable litigation, not hesitating to
bring suit against an old boyhood
friend.
DR.. Lewis declared that Shakespeare
was Stratford man all his life and
denied that he had maintained per-
manent residence in London. He also
asserted that the poet drew his Ispira-
tion from medieval England, not from
the England of Queen Elizabeth.
DR.. Patrick Joseph Lennox presided

FACTOR 'SA|DES
BAFFLED BY
|SS|LENCE

CHICAGO, July 6 G.N.S0.-1n
the luxurious hotel suite where
friends and relatives Of John
C"Jake the Barber'D Factor have
been keeping a constant vigil
since his abduction last Satur-
day, fear and CONSERVATION ruled
today.
Six days have passed and no
word has been received from the
kidnapped millionaire or from his
captors, giving rise to the fear
that he has been slain.
No Contact Made
The "board of strategy" orga-
nized shortly after the abduction
to negotiate with the kidnapers,
denied today that any contact
has been made with the kid
naperS.
Factors son, Jerome, was kid
nap victim last April, but was re-
leased after eight days without
payment of ransom, when his
father enlisted the aid of Capone
gangSterS.
Son Sees One Hope
Authorities, at first inclined to
believe that Factor was abducted
because of his relentless efforts
to secure the release of his son,
deemed it not unlikely that the
wealthy ex-barber was captured
for punitive reasons. And through
the underworld the rumor spread
that Factor had been slain.
Jerome frankly admitted today:
"Our only hope is that father
Is dealing directly with the
kidnapers. Otherwise, 1 can't
explain the long silence"

The reason DR.. Strong is still
in the field is simply because no.
body knows in what field he is.
He probably is not really lost"
but he was in eastern Honduras
when economy" began, and he
hasn't been heard from since. He
is with an expedition financed by

mented and made permanent.

Park and Planning Commission,

Leisure time music for and by
adults, as we'll as music as a rec.
reation for boys and girls, are
sought by the committee for the
future. One plan is to develop an
information service" as to where,
when and how people in general
may join in music groups and
participate in musical recreation.
This may be developed through
the public library.
Community centerS, and other
places where people in general
gather, it is felt, should be util-
lied for musical activities, but
especially the homes Of the
people are the ideal place for
the beginning Of real music"
both for singing and playing.
Part of the new plan is to
have the children Of the city
join in singing Christmas carols,
just before Christmas, under
leadership of musicians of the
city.
A spring festival Of song by
groups of children is also a part
of the plan, and it is under
