EXPECT DISCLOSURE £ N MANBY MYSTERY = New Light on Murder May Be Revealed in Battle for Possession of Estate. By the Associated Press. SANTA FE, N. Mex, March 12.— Strange circumstances ‘Which marked both the life and death of Arthur Roch- fort Manby, Taos recluse, found decap- itated in his home last July 3, are ex- pected to be more fully disclosed in the Federal Court at Albuquerque today with the opening of a legal battle for possession of the 80-year-old English- man’s $50,000 estate. Meanwhile in Santa Fe the possibility | a developed of a contest over the right of Great Britain to demand the inter- vention of the United States in solving the mystery of Manby's death. Further complicating the real life mystery yarn was the arrest Monday of ‘Terecita Ferguson, the woman who Manby called in his diary “the princess of all my dreams,” and the recovery in her home of a houseful of loot stolen in a series of Taos robberies. Terecita is at liberty under bond, charged with robbing and burning the studio home of Mr. and Mrs. John Younghunter, New York artists. George Ferguson, Terecita’s nephew, also charg- ed with robbery, is being held in the ‘Taos jail. Additional loot from the was disclosed in a suit filed mumxormlw'xmn-mm Alvin Burch, Taos merchant, for $10,- 000,000, 'hlch she alleged 'had been over him by the Unlled Bhta Secret Clvll Service Soclety. purpose and activities ot this organization have baffled investigators, *MUSIC SADE STYRON'S RECITAL. An unusually comprehensive lecture- reell..l on the evolution of piano music presented before the members ‘hl Inullc section of the Twentieth Cen- um:l: by Sade C. Styren yesterday, in Hall. Miss Styron, well known here both as a talented planist and as & diligent researcher for the authentic data regarding old keyboard instru- ments, had both authority and enthus- iasm in the presentation of her subject. Their compositions which she phyed showed strongly that thefly were written for the more subtle simple effects obtainable from the clavichord. Thr_n Miss Styron jumped a century to the French schooi, which produced such tinkling and melodious works of more complicated form in Rameau's “Ttmbourin" and Couperin's charming ‘Nun Playing in a Garden.” The Italian school, still later, whose outstanding representative was Scarlatti, who in his writings added another to the list of rev- olutionizing effects that marked the transition from harpsichord to early Paradisi’s “Allegro,” and one of the gay- Younghunter studio was found yester- | this grouj day in a box buried in the yard of Ter- ecita’s home, at Canon. Working on Gigantic Deals. J. B. Manby of Denver, a brother of the recluse, has announced that at the time of his death the aged man was| helping Terecita establish a claim w Missouri property valued at $40,000,000, ou the basis of an old Spanish land grant. Manby's private papers disclosed he was always working on gigantic deals. | He wrote in his diary in September, 1916, that he was at that time owner of 745,000,000 acres of land in New Mexico and the Southwest. He recorded this land had been secured \‘.hrmuh the ‘Taos Valley Land Hnydn md Mozart, two “Sonata in D” and variaf theme, “Ah, Vous Dirai-Je, Maman," respectively. Both works were particu- larly well played by Miss Styron. As time for the end of the hour of music | approached, the lecturer curtailed her remarks. but touched upon the greatest typically pianistic composers, such as Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Mosz- kowsky and Debussy, playing three short numbers, including a Beethoven “Rondo, \‘-h! first part of a Chopin “Nocturne.” and Debussy’s “Prelude” and a waltz by Moszkowsky.

Although this concert was the occa- sion of this young Negro's debut in Washington, she demonstrated none of the signs of piano shyness that are so often the Waterloo of the uninitiated professional. Playing with considerable vigor, she started her program with the “Theme et vnrlltkmu of Che which, being not so familiar as the selections that followed, was all the more indicative of a technique which flows freely, if loudly. Miss Thomas pre(ennce {or leaning too assiduously d pedal, however, came very neu w m;rnng the shading of such delicate high lights as are to be ufowfl as of the two Prelugte‘s m(:l e(i!;o;‘a‘l’x: next on the program.

E. de 8. M. ELSA BAKLOR'S RECITAL. A concert soprano of Baltimore, Mme. Elsa Baklor, gave an effective program | of songs in costume before the Council of Jewish Women at the Hotel Wash- ington yesterday afternoon. The singer was accompanied by Virginia Castelle. Mme. Baklor presented a group of charming Spanish songs for her open- ing numbers, including “Princessita,” “Granadinos” and “Clavelitos,” a flower song of Granada. Next came an Italian group, including Geni Sadero's delight- ful song, “In Mezzo al Mar.” The third AUTOCRAT is an all- Pennsylvania oi!, skillfully refined by an organization of many years’ experience —whose first thought is to make AUTOCRAT the very best that a motor oil can possibly be. Today's faster motors, and higher heats, demand the protection and group was PFrench songs of conbert caliber and the fourth and final group consisted of three Jewish folk songs. | The singer seemed to even outdo earlier fine efforts in ehe understanding of dramatic values of these songs. She won particular appreciation from her audience for her interpretation. Mme. Baklor is well known both in : | concert and radio endeavors in Balti- more. Yesterday was her first public appearance in Wuhlnmn DIVORCE COURT BEATEN. OTTAWA, March 12 (#).—A bill to establish a divorce court in the prov- House of Commons last night by 1 vote.
