STOLEN VIOLIN BACK ALL MELLOW WITH JAZZ If your famous Strad. violin is stolen by a jazz hound, let him keep it for a while. Jazz music will mellow its tone. Such was the testimony of Dorothy Duff, 416 Willow street, whose valu- able Biederman violin was recovered this week after having been used in the Palace Music Hall, Chicago, for more than a month.

Co-eds learned that the violin was in the 'Palace Music Hal. } Yesterday John Richter, 1314 Byron street, Chicago, confessed to Justice of the Peace John Boyer that he had stolen the violin and sold it for $18 to a Palace musician. He was held under bonds.
