world-serles-Veat scandals and suffragist
critors.
The major part of the population of this
licsdemlo city Is, of course. Its Btudents.
JLatt year they numbered 8000: this ear
thejr will teach from B500 to 0000.
But these are not all far from It The
gyroftsyorlal staff, which now amount to
Imore than 600, are permanent residents,
Ftoo. So are tho employes of the t'nlver
Fsltr. numbering 1000: while there are 710
to be added from the University Hospital,
rinciuning i" nurses, nu pnysicians on the
Fatalf and 450 patients. These boom the
census ot permanent resident to the ns
tonlshlng total of 10.S20 at the most mod
erate estimate.
But thA transient population Is still
"greater, Temporary courses of short dura
utlojr, lke the Illuminating engineering
Ltfure. which will be concluded today, would
f probably account tor a thousand or more:
whlle citizens who use the University
'Library yet have no other connection with
the University would probably amount to
meral thousands nt least. The most pro
'llflc source of transient population, how-
Eever, Is to bo found In the public lecture
courses In Houston Hall and the museum,
which have been attended during the last
(year by no less than 30.000.
This city within a city, covers US acres
, ef ground and contains between eighty and
ninety buildings, exclusive of the 400 or
9(00 boarding houses directly attached to It.
B Its real size may best be Judged by the
Ifact that, according to the latest census
(find counting permanent residents alone, It
Eli twice as large as Hammohton or Vlne
Elind, N. J., nnd Is larger than Consho-
Ihocken or Bristol, Pa. ; Burlington or

.J.h j mc"','lf between I.e Due and his
wounded wife. In the presence of detective,
physicians and Mrs. Hobart Mann, of New
ork, slater of Mrs. Le Due. was dramatic.
The husband was led Into the ward where
iiim . v on Wn,, cot- w P'""1
n 1 tie to one side, hidden from view by a
white screen, as It was feared his sudden
appearance might result fatally upon tho In.
jured woman. After Mrs. Hobart Mann,
cister of the wounded woman, had ap.
prnached the cot apd told Mrs. Le Duo that
her husband had arrived, the screen was
removed.
"ULT.IA.N, THIS IS JOE"
, J'LII,.lar" I-Ullan," l.e Due said softly.
'This Is Joe."
She recognized the voice. Lifting her
head a few Inches from tho pillow, the
wounded woman cried aloud:
"Joe, my Joel Come to me, Joe!"
Le Due threw his arms nbout his wife's
neck and began sobbing. The others In the
room turned their heads. Mrs. Le Due
LI i an arm' encircled his neck and drew
his hend to her wounded breast.
"Joe, will you take me back 7" she nsked.
"Of course, of course," he responded. "I
Ioe you nnd trust you. I haven't lost any
faith In ou. We're going back to Chicago
together."
KISSES WOUND15D WOMAN
Evidently suffering from pain. Mrs. Le
Due clasped his face In her hands and
looked Into his. eyes.
"Do you really mean It?" her voice was
choked.
"Yes. Lillian." he said simply.
ie Kissed ner.
When It was time for him to leave, the
Injured woman clutched him fiercely by
the wrists and kissed him repeatedly on the
forehead. She became hysterical as she saw
him go nnd called to him to come back.
Le Due was greatly moved when he re
turned to kiss her again.
"My wife Is as square n girl as ever
11 ed," he tald.
MI13. LIS DUC'S STATEMENT
Mrs. Le Due's statement to Coroner's
Detective Paul was as follows:
It Is untrue that I registered with
J C. (Iravler at the Hotel Walton
as his wife. I left New York Tues
day afternoon after visiting my sister
and came to Philadelphia to visit my
nephew, who is In the coal business.
After visiting my nephew 1 received a
telephone call from Mr. Gravler, ask
ing me to meet him In the evening, I
met him at the Walton nnd he Invited
me to go to the theater. I had no
baggage with me except a small hand
bag, ns I had planned to remain here
only for the day, intending to return
to New York the same day. After
inviting me to go to the theater, Mr.
(Jravler suggested that I leave my
handbag In his rqom and I agreed to
do 80.
On our return from the theater we
had something to cat on tho roof gar
den of the hotel and about 1 o'clock
I told him It was time for mo to go
to my nephew's home. I then remem
bered my handbag In his room.
Wo stopped by nt the room to get It.
We had barely stepped Into the room
just as I was about to pick up the hand
bag near the dresser a wrman jumped
out of the closet. She was tall and
dark, and I don't beliovo I ever saw
. her before. She had a revolver in her
hand. She said nothing.
She began to shoot. The first shot
struck Mr. Oraveur In the left side.
I tried to rush to the door, but before
I could I wan shot. That Is all I re
member. Mrs. Le Due, who, physicians say, has a
good chance to recover. Is a very pretty
woman of about twenty-six years. Her hair
falls about her shoulders In auburn waves.
Iter eyes are largeUind dark brown.
BODIES TAKEN TO NEW YOflK
It will not be necessary for Mrs. Le Duo
to remain for the Inquest, Coroner's Detec
tive Paul said. Her husband, who Is stop
ping nt the Hotel Walton, where the
tragedy occurred, will return to Chicago
Sunday, he said. Graveur's body was taken
to New York today,
MRS. BELZEH'S SISTEIt DEFENDS HEB
A possible "frame-up" against Mrs.
Belzer was suggested by her sister, Miss
Anna McAndrews. 245 Euclid avenue, East
New York, who arrived today to Identify
tho body of the dead woman. When she
viewed the body at the morgue her calm
disappeared and she broke down and cried.
"My slater had known Joe ever since a
short time after his wife died," Bhe said.
"He was very kind to Tier Idolized her, In
fact. A
"Somebody must nave told her that some
thing was beneath the fact that Joe was
In Philadelphia with another woman. But
I cannot understand what It Is. My sister
would never havo followed him If there had
not been some motive underneath, but I
don't know what the real reason was.
"My sister told him long ago that he
would meet his Waterloo, but she confided
to me the things closest to her heart and I
feel sure that she never contemplated any
thing of the sort that happened the other
night.
"The description of Mrs. Le Duo pub
lished In the papers Is not dissimilar to a
woman who lives near Joe's garage In New
York. Hut I know that Joe didn't know
this woman two weeks ago; at least they
passed each other In the street and didn't
nod,
WOULDN'T FOLLOW JOB
"I left my sister Tuesday night at half
past five, She was cheerful then and Bald
she had an appointment. That was the
last I heard of her until I waa notified of
the shooting. Something muat have hap
pened after she left me. I know that she
had no Intention of following Joe, as he had
left her Friday night, saying he had to go
on a, bualnesa trip and then he kissed her
good-by
"I know she wouldn't follow Joe because
Ihey had trouble about a half year ago and
she gave htm up. He begged me to
straighten things with her and I brought
them together again and that la why I
know she would have given him up for
good If he had done anything- he shouldn't
have dona.
"They had Intended to get married when
she got a divorce; In fact, he wanted to
marry her when he first met her. Her hus
band was away to Panama and Is now
back, but I don't know where he Is."
Miss MoAndrews will accompany the body
ot Mrs. Belter to New York late this after
noon. h Duo nrrlved at Broad Rtreet Station
on a fast rain from Chicago nt 8:S5 o'clock
this morning and rushed to the JelTcrson
Hospital, after gulping down n cupful of
coffee, his first food since he left Chicago,
"Where Is the Jefferson Hospital:" were
his first words on stepping from the train.
'How Is my wife? Will she live?"
Le Due Is a dark-complexioned man, lh
letla In appearance nnd clean-shaven. He
Is nbout Ave feet eight Inches In height
1.13 DUC'S STATEMENT
"I first heard of the shooting of my wife
shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday morning,"
he raid. "A telegram dated Philadelphia,
purporting to be from my wife, read!
" 'Have been shot. Come to Jefferson
Hospital nt once.'
"Since leaving Chicago I havo established
the fact that my wife was not the sender ot
this telegram, This telegram, I have been
Informed, was sent by the police.
"My wife and I have been married for
fifteen years. My wife Is the daughter of
the late Philip Kappes, who was prominent
socially and a man of wealtn In Cincin
nati. I was taking part In a tennis
tournament In a suburb near Cincinnati
and among the spectators waA my wife,
who at that t me was Lillian Kappes When
the tournament was over I whs Introduced
to her by some Intimate friends. It was
love nt first sight, and shortly afterward
our engagement was announced, We were
married a few months after the engage
ment and for about five years mndo our
noine in New York.
met ariAVEirn five yeahs aoo
"About live years ago I met Joe (Jrnveur.
Joe Oraveur at that tlnjo was a different
sort of a man. He was Interested In home
life and especially In uplift work among
juvenllo offenders. 1 met Joe one evening
at Old Terrace Gardens, on Fifty-eighth
street near Lexington avenue, New York,
wlillo a German celebration was In progress.
Joe and my wife and I becamo warm
friends. He was married then nnd my wife
often accompanied Mrs. Graveur on shop
ping trips. Many times wc went to the
theater together. Wo all believed In Joe
forhls sincerity" In uplift work. When
Joe's wife died, about two years ago, he
became a different man and began to drink
heavily. Many ugly stories wero circulated
nbout him, but we never believed them.
"My wife and I lived us happily ns two
doves. Although married for more than
fifteen years, we were often referred to by
relatives nnd friends as the 'honeymoon
couple.'
"MY WIFE SQUAItEST OIHL"
"My wife Is the 3quarest girl that ever
lived. No one can mako me change my
opinion. She Is hh nqiiaro na a dollar bill.
"My wlfo left Chluaco on the afternoon
,of September 12. For mnny weeks she had
planned to go to New York to visit rel
atives, friends and also to vMt Old Ter
race Garden, which wo haunted during our
honeymoon. .
"On reaching New Torlc sho stopped at
tho Clarldge Hotel, whero she remained for
ten days. While nt the Clarldge sho sent
njo a letter every day If not mistaken, I
received a letter from her September 22, In
which she stated that !he had planned to
come to Philadelphia to visit her nephew,
who Is engaged In the coal business In this
city.
"I have read In the renspupers that
Gravour stopped at tho Breakers Hotel, In
Atlantic City, from September 22 to 24. ac
companied by a woman described as his
wife. That may bo so, but my wlfo was
never with Gravour at Atlantic City.
DIDN'T KNOW MItS. BELZEU
"I can't understand how my wlfo hap
pened to be In tho same room with Graveur
at the Hotel Walton. This man Graveur,
whom I shall never forgive, must liuvo 'put
one over on' my wife. I cun't understand
how my wife permitted Graveur to register
himself with her.
"My wife either was In a stupor or sho
must have been suffering from some drug
administered to her by Graveur. In my
opinion, after my wlfo reached the room
with Graveur she realized whero she was
and unquestionably tried to get out of the
room, but was prevented from doing so by
this rascal
"I don't know who Mrs. Belzer Is, and
I never heard of her. Sho may have been
In Graveur's life for years for -nil that I
know. I don't care what tho newspapers
have published or what the people may &ay.
I love my wife today Just as much as I did
when I fell in love with her fifteen years
ago.
"I expect to remain here until Sunday. If
by that time my wife's condition Is Im
proved I will tnke her back to Chicago
back to our home on Sheridan road, where
she will not only be welcomed by relatives,
but also by our neighbors.
"You nhk me will I forgive her. What
shall I forgive? She has been a true and
loyal wife. She was lured to the hotel,
lured by a man who, In our eyes, was not
only our friend, but whom wo considered
as our chum,"
FIUENDS NOT UNEASY
From all Chicago reports It wo'uld seem
that no uneasiness was felt among friends
there because Mrs. Le Due was In a hotel
room with Gruveur. Botli of them were
fully dressed when t:io tragedy occurred,
except that Mrs. Le Duo had ono shoe un
buttoned. From papers found among Gra
veur's effects police surmised that the pair

had spent two days at a Boardwalk hotel
In Atlantic City before coming here.
PnOMINENT IN CHICAGO
Mrs. Le Duo occupied a prominent social
position In Chicago. She Is a singer of
much reputation In charity circles. Her
husband, a prominent Michigan avenue
linberdashery man, has more than a local
reputation as a golfer and Is a member ot
many clubs. They lived In the exclusive
Sheridan road community In North Chi
cago. Mrs. M. Mann, of New York, a sister of
the wounded woman, came here last night.
Bhe passed only a few minutes with the
patient nnd then left the hospital. The po
lice were uhable to find her after that and
she would not talk to them while she was
In the hospital.
No relative of Mrs. Belzer, who did the
shooting, has appeared. Her home was at
34S Euclid avenue, Brooklyn, but her hus
band was said to bo In Panama. Mrs. Ap
man, the sister ot Graveur, said the Betzers
wero "happily married."
Mrs. Belxer, It Is said, wns once sepa
rated from her husband, and It was then
that Grevaur met her. She was at that
time a perfumery demonstrator.
Mrs. Apman said that her brother lav
ished gifts on Mrs. Belzer, explaining:
"He found her feeding on corned beef nnd
cabbage and fed her chicken. When this
chicken diet ended she became Insanely
Jealous."
Mrs, Apman expressed no regret over the
death of either her brother or Mrs. Belzer.
"They deserved It," she said,
HINT OF CONSPIRACY
A mysterious telephone message, which
Informed Mrs. Belzer that Graveur had
gono to Philadelphia with Mrs. Le Duo only
five hours before Mrs. Belzer killed Graveur
Hnd herself and shot Mrs. Le Due, has
caued the New York police to work on the
theory that a conspiracy existed to bring
pbout the murder. A search has been
started for the person who phoned to Mrs.
Belzer.
A contradiction ot the supposition that
Mrs. Belzer was the woman who registered
with Oraveur at the hotel came from New
York today. It was said that Mrs.- Belzer
was seen In that city as late as 8 o'clock
Tuesday night, five hours before the shoot
ing. A woman corresponding to Mrs. Belzer's
ilescr.ption was seen In this city Tuesday
nfternoon, nnd ns early as Monday. A
taxlcab driver told Detective Callahan, of
the "murder squad," that he had taken the
woman to several hotels Monday afternoon
In her quest for n man she said was her
husband, Detectives nt tho Hotel Walton
said th'cy saw Mrs. Belzer Tuesday after
noon, and the police said her description,
corresponds with that of the woman who
registered with Graveur Tuesday.
The correct spelling of Graveur's name
was given yesterday ns "Gravler" by How
ard E. Fancey, associated with the dead
man In the Alhambra garage. New York.
This wus one f of the minor elements of
mystery thrown Into the complicated case.
GRAVEUIt A SOCIAL WOIIKKU
In the Hockcfeller white slave Investiga
tion In 1011 and for ten years prior, Gra
veur was an ardent worker In the protection
of women Connected with the criminal
courts of New York for many years, he
worked In the Interests of fallen women.
For seven years he conducted a school In
-the Tombs for lads awaiting trial there. In
1910 ho was made chief probation officer
of the Court of Gei.crnl Sessions. Ho was
later removed for falsifying the records of
old offenders.
Mrs. Belzer nnd her husband, a bank
clerk, were marrli-d eight years ago In the
Church of the Blessed Sacrament. Brooklya
Thoy parted four years ago and Belzer Is
believed to be In Panama. Mrs. Belzer de
clined to bring proceedings for n divorce
because Bhe was n Catholic, according to
her mother. She met Graveur about two
and u half years ago, and for more than a
year he was attentive to her, taking her
on automobile rides and making gifts.

'SILVER HEROINE OF THE 0&CEB8TIW
HOLDS HER OWN WITH RECORD FANS
Many Notable Violin Selections, Ranging From Dainty.
Trifles to Works of Great Masters, Are
Offered Phonograph Enthusiasts
By the Phonograph Editor
the cello "the
Some one has called
golden hero of the orchestra." Pursuing
the parallel, we might artlx to the beloved
violin the title of "the silver heroine."
Judging from a perusal of the phonographic
catalogues of Ulc, the heroine Is Just as
stoutly Intrenched In the favor of the record-buyers
as when the first disc was
turned out of the factory. Call It sentl
menlallsm If you will the violin continues
to be the favorite Instrument. Persons who
never heard of a double-bass or a heels
phone, go Into raptures over the tiniest
rifle from the strings of Krelsler or Elman.
That Is why the violin Is so potent In
bringing to Its admirers a sense of the
loftier lovelinesses of music. Beginning
with the mere melodic scrapings of our
vlollnlsttc geniuses, one progresses through
more substantial trifles, and at last reaches
the land of high endeavor, where the eternal
voices of the great masters are heard.
Victor Itcd Seal records, for Instance,
ofTcr this month Mr. Krelsler'e playing of
his own rondlno on n theme by Beethoven,
In ten-Inch form. "This theme," says the
arranger, "consists of only eight measures,
which occur In a very early nnd unim
portant composition by Beethoven, now
nulte forgotten." Those who know Mr.
Krelsler's skill ns an adapter will relish
this record.
The Bohemian Dvorak has scarcely ever
written lovelier or more wistful music
than that of his "Indian lament." Kath
leen Parlow has contributed her talents to
n fine rendering of It for the Columbia. In
the sweep nnd hesltntton of her bow onp
senses the plash of waters, encroaching
twilight and the wall of the Indian threno
dlst. Miss Parlow has two other numbers with
a strong popular nnd sound csthetlo ap
peal, They are Krelsler's "Tambourln
Chlnols," long a favorite at concert re
citals, with an accompaniment by Mr,
Prince at the piano, and Drlgo's "Les Mil
lion D'Arlequln." Both are Columbian The
latter, a serenade, was arranged for the
violin by Leopold Auer, soloist for the Ctar
of Kussla. In praiseworthy fashion. It has
the true touch throughout of the love mel
ody sung under crisp stars.
Percy Grainger, the young Australian art
ist, who captivated Philadelphia last season
by playing with the Philadelphia Orchestra,
Just as he captivated New York the season
before, will be welcomed as a composer by
purchasers of Victor records. His "Molly
on the Shore," first Interpreted In this city
by Walter Damrosch and the New York
Symphony Orchestra, has been done as a
violin solo by Maude Powell, with piano ac
companiment by Arthur Loesser. it's an
Irish reel, brimmed with the fun of Celtic
life. The thematic material Is drawn from
two Cork reel, tunes. This ten-Inch reoertl
Is n breete from the western world.

Perhaps the McOormack-KrelsItr ferv
carolle from 'The Tales of Hoffman," whfesh
the Boston Grand Opera Company Is about
to revive In Philadelphia, doesn't strictly
belong In a story about violinists. But at
all events, Mr, Krelsler Is half ot the duo
which gives Offenbach's famous (sbme
might say notorious) song, No one can
deny that the "Belle Nult," which Cavallerl
and Sylva used to warble n the Hammer
stein days at Broad and Poplar streets, has'
carried the opera Into a prolonged period
of favor. To deny It the title of "catchy"
would be foolish. In this rendering It
