Violin Music Wins Freedom for Aged and Broken Maestro Held by Police Philadelphia, Dec. 23.—To every violin there are five strings. Four are upon the instrument itself. The fifth is in the heart of him who listens. Yesterday, in the grim rollroom of police station, an aged and broken Orpheus waved his magic bow and wove about his blue clad audience the spell of his music. And when the last strain had crept from the ancient violin he emerged a free man from the shadow of ill-forune and impris onment. Shivering in Cold. This is the story of Andrew Pouloff, one time maestro, arrest ed when he was found shivering in the bitter cold. At the station house he was fed, given a bed for the night, and yesterday was brought before Magistrate Scott, charged with va grancy. Clasping tightly his violin case, he explained in halting English that he had fallen upon evil days. Once, he said, he had been a noted musician in Poland. In his student days he had captured sec ond prize in the great musical competition at Warsaw. But he had become old and friendless, and now he was without work or a home. With the natural caution of one who hefirs many such stpries, the magistrate pointed to the instru ment and commanded him to play. Compelling Strains.

Magistrate Scott sat in impassive attention. The concert over, the musician dropped his bow, raised his seam ed and haggard face and awaited his fate. Passes Hat. For a silent moment he was neglected. Then the magistrate called for a hat, and when it was produced he dropped a $5 bill into it. Smiling broadly, Luentenant Magowan followed suit, and after him the patrolmen and a few spec tators contributed. Before Andrew Pouloff’s aston ished eyes $20 was heaped upon the bar of justice and transfer red to his pocket. The old man falteringly at tempted to express his thanks, but his command of English was not equal to the task. Universal Language. In despair he fell back upon the universal language.
