Miss Fahlstadt was buried yesterday by friends, who af- forded her hospital treatment a few weeks ago when she hecame fll. For years Miss Fahlstadt has been the cuse of much wonderment among the college co-eds and others, who marveled at the melodies the scrub- woman played in the college conserva- tory when permitted. Wrapped in an jold shawl, she was often found in front-row seats at concerts given by famous artists, but her real interest remained unknown. Years ago she left her native homa in Horn, Ostergotland, Sweden, and came here seeking fame as a mu- sicfan. She opened a school of music, but failed of Success because she could not master the English language. Her father, H. N.

KING WOULD AMEND CIVIL SERVICE LAW Senator' Studying Methods Used by Private Business So as to Im- prove Federal System. Legislation to provide for a study of the civil service law as it compares with methods followed by large pri- vate corporations is being considered by Senator William H. King, Demo- crat, of Utah.

Senator King sald his main objection to the civil service system, as it now operates, is that it permits inefficient workers to remain in the Government departments for life and does not al- ways reward the efficient. The Senator said he also thought the number of employes is out of proporm)n to_the number of super- servicey TAbbit. | visors in the Kederal ~ 0’CONNOR TO SEEK PROBE OF ALLEGED PHONE TRUST Will Reintroduce Resolution in Congress and Seek Quick Consideration.
