Rex Beach, u, Noted Novelist,
Commits Suicide in Florida

Magazine, then a leading popular
magazine.
S. s. Mcclure, the editor of
McClure's. believed Mr.. Beach
could write a novel so, after his
first book of short stories, "Pard-
ners," which was published in
1905, he called him to New York
to talk things over.
AS the author recalled his in
terview, he was able to outline a
good beginning" but didn't have
"the slightest idea where it was
heading" He said he talked
fast" since he had the possibility
of a sale and made up an ending
ION the spot" But when he re-
turned to Chicago he could not
remember what it was.
Wrote "The Spoilers"
He went to work, nevertheless,
and the result was THE Spoilers,
his first best-seller. The "Victor
Hugo of the North" as some re-
viewers dubbed him, was quick
to follow up his advantage with
two more popular favorites, "The
Barrier" and THE Silver Horde. u
Mr.. Beach married Edith Cra-
ter in 1907 and they moved to a
house named "Topside" at Ards
ley-on- Hudson, N. Y. Later they
made their permanent residence
at a ranch near Sebring.
He kept up a steady flow of
novels, stories and articles. He
was an enthusiastic fisherman and
hunter and became interested in
farming and cattle raising. At his
Florida ranch he experimental
in the raising of flowers and vege-
tables. 1 little-known fact about
him is that he was one of the first
men in the country to popularize
the growing of Easter lilies.
Made 100000 on Lilies.
Once, he said, he made 5000, 900
in a single season by selling lily
bulbs from a 30-acre plot OF
ground.
When Mrs. Beach died in 1947,
the author said that one of his
chief sources of inspiration had
gone from him.
Among his works we're: "The
"Ne er-do-Well" G91D, THE Iron
Trail" 1913, THE Auction
Block" Q914, Heart of the Sun
set" 1915, "Rainbow's End"
Q916), "The Winds of Chance"
Q918, "Oh. Shoot" Q92D, Pad
locked" 1925, 1.-The Mating CALI
Q92D, Son of the Gods" 1920
Alaskan Adventures" Q933)
Masked Women" 1880, and
Jungle Gold" l935).
Although his literary output
decreased somewhat with the
years. his works were popular.
THE World In His Arms" pub
lished in 1916, was sold to a mo-
ton picture company for $780,
900. In 1947, as he neared 10, he
told an interviewer that he was
working on his most ambitious"
novel to date, "a story that goes
back Of these puzzling times"

vember. 1916, when he was a
super" or extra. during the
Washington performance of the
Ballet Russo.
Besides dancing he was a tai
ented painter. In April, 1947, he
used his spare time from his
chores on Capitol Hill to help in
the production of the ballet "Ad-
ventures in o." produced by the
Washington School of Ballet for
the recreation department. He
painted scenery, applied brilliant
colors to numerous small shoes
for the young dancers and even
sewed bells on hats. He was in
the cast of the ballet "Cinder-
ella" and other productions pre-
sented here.
Stricken in June.
In the summer of 1948 young
Hammond went to New York to
study under Aubrey Hichins, for
mer partner of the late Anna

Friends say he was as promising
a pupil in New York as he was
here. But in June leukemia
struck suddenly.
He was transferred to George
Washington Hospital in October
He hoped to get we'll and return
to his dancing. He thought he
had rheumatic fever.

Imprisoned in Texas.

At the age of Is. Ledbetter, ac-
cording to stories he recounted tt
friends, acquired a fancy for high
living and hard liquor. So he
left, his fathers farm to become 9
wandering minstrel. Fighter
years later he was imprisoned lr
Texas for life on murder charge
In prison, his unusual ability te
improvise songs about any occa-
sion, coupled with his unique style
on the 12-string guitar. made him
favorite with wardens anc
brought him to the attention OF
Gov. Pat Neff.
AS Ledbetter later told the
story, Gov. Neff promised him
pardon, but added. II amt gonna
give it to. you now. I'm gonna
keep you in prison to play for me
when I come, but when I go out
of office I'm gonna turn you free.
Ledbetter promptly composed q
song which ended on the follow
ing refrain:
IF I had you, Gov. Neff. like
you got me,
II would wake up in the morn
ing and set you free"
Pardoned by Gov. Neff.
Gov. Neff kept his promise ano
pardoned the convict, but in 1896
Ledbetter was sentenced to 1C
years in the Louisiana State Peni-
tentiary for slashing six men in a
knife fight.
It was in the Louisiana peni-
tentiary that the late Mr.. Lomax
and his son Alan first met Led
better in 1884 while they were
touring the country making re-
cordings of folk songs. They OBJ
tanned more than 100 recordings
from Ledbetter while he was still
in prison. They intervened with
the Governor, and once again
"Leadbelly" was pardoned because
of his musical ability.
The Lomaxes took him to New
York, where he soon became q
favorite with critics and the pub
lie. Alan Lomax said a Lead
