Meeting in Easthampton, L. I., Provides Movement
to Birthplace of John Howard Payne.
Wealthy New Yorkers who have summer homes
in Easthampton, L. I., and natives of Easthampton
assembled this week in public meeting in front of
the high school and passed a resolution calling on
the Village of Easthampton to purchase the cottage
which was the birthplace of John Howard Payne,
author of "Home, Sweet Home." The resolution
was offered by former Justice Samuel Seabury of 22
East Eleventh street, Xew York city, a summer
resident of Easthampton.
Three wealthy summer residents, according to a
statement read to the meeting by Mayor Samuel
Gregory, who presided at the meeting, are negoti-
ating to purchase the Payne cottage and its contents
for $60,000 with the intention of turning it over to
the village for that amount.
Petitions were circulated calling on the village
council to take the necessary steps at the next ses-
sion to float a bond issue for purchase of the cottage.

The department of playground and recreation, Los
Angeles, held a diversified musical program given
through the courtesy of the Sutro-Seyler Studios at
the Queen Ann playground, 1245 Queen Ann place,
Saturday, September 17.
The robbery was discovered by John McXulty of
125 West 125th street, who reported it to a patrolman
of the West Forty-seventh Street Station. As the
store is on the south side of the street a patrolman
of the West Thirtieth Street Station was called to
take the remaining violins from the window to the
station house. At the first check-up by store offi-
cials in the morning it was thought that the loss was
greater; the second revealed only two instruments
missing.
Mr. Freeman said that five years ago a window
was smashed in a similar manner, but that nothing
had been taken.

Thief
A plate glass window in the store of the Rudolph
Wurlitzer Company at 120 West Fortv-second street,
Xew York city, was shattered by a jagged bit of con-
crete early in the morning of September 15, and two
old violins, valued at $2,750, were stolen. The thief
or thieves escaped. Sixteen other violins, which were
estimated to be worth more than $20,000, were not
taken.
J. C. Freeman, manager of Wurlitzer's old violin
department, said the loss was covered by insurance
and that the firm had photographs and detailed de-
scriptions of the stolen instruments. They were
almost certain to be recovered, he said. The instru-
ments were a Grancino, valued at $1,500, and a
Tononi, at $1,250.
