Violin Maker
Claims to Know
Masters' Secret
" Chicago IP A small, Intense
man who has given 30 years of
his life in the attempt says he
has discovered the violin secret of
fhe ages. -.
Edward Boeder claims he could
turn out a violin equal in every
way to those made by the old mas
ters. Ha said his discovery will
make a million for somebody, if
not for himself. ' '
Roeder's sales talk is handicap
ped by one fear: he doesn't want
to mention the violins of Antdnio
Stradivarius.
VThere seems to be some sort
of wo r s h I p involved with the
Stradivarius,'1 he said. "If I said
my violins were just as. good,
then nobody wouid believe me.
They'd think I was a faker."
Restricts Claims
So lest he scare off his pros
pective customers, Roeder simply
claims his violins rate among the
world's best. He acknowledges,
however, that the world's best in
clude the fewer than 300 Strads
known to be in existence, some of
which are valued at up to $150,
000. The secret of Roeder's accom
plishment is varnish.
For hundreds of years, he said,
violin makers have tried to dis
cover what makes a violin great.
"A great many suspected it was
the varnish," Roeder said, "and
for five years I experimented
along those lines. Then I gave
up. But a little later my son want
ed me to varnish a cheap violin
he had picked up. I got out my
last batch of varnish it was in
a bec-r glass and as soon as I
applied It,; I. knew VI had. some
thing." , -v.-
He. refused to say If the beer
glass had anything to do with
his discovery but he resumed his
experiments and now,. 25 years
later, he Is ready to start selling.
. Keeps Jf la Secret v
Np violin is any better than its
varnish, Roeder explained. An un
varnished violin sounds, to a cer
tain degree, like an old master's.
But a violin must be varnished to
protect It, and Its tone is influ
enced with each sweep of the
brush. Roeder thinks his varnish
: Is the same as that of the mas
ters. '
He won't say what goes Into
It, but he said he used nothing
that hadn't been tried before. The
only difference, he. said, is that
he knows how to mix rt, v
- He keeps the formula in a safe
ty deposit vault in a bank. It is
in code. ' .-
He, said he can't get it patented
. because ,. if he did, '"Somebody
would snap it 'right up and put
a couple of drops of alcohol in it
apd claim they had a different
formula." -
Roeder doesn't know if his vio
lins will catch on with musicians,
because "after all this is a very
revolutionary thing.',' If they do
find a good market, he thinks he
will be a very rich man.
"And if something happens to
me in- the meantime," he Bald,
"well, I guess somebody else will
get rich.
Nation's First
Gas Chamber
To be Scrapped
By Robert Laxalt
(United I'reaa Staff Correspondent) .
Carson City, Nev. itP The
nation's first lethal gas cham
ber will be scrapped at the Ne
vada state prison here this year.
The small, single-chaired cham
ber, built in 1923 after successful
experiments with lethal hydro.
cyanifl gas had been conducted
by English scientists, will be re
placed by .a modern - two-chair
death house.
A house cat became the first
experimental victim of the Ne
vada chamber late In 1923, and
in Febr.uary of 1924, while, the
capital punishment world looked
. . on, a Chinese hatchet murderer,
Gee John, was the first man to
be executed by lethal gas.
Method Copied
The success and the painless.
ness of the Nevada experiment
paved the way for more lethal
gas chambers throughout the na
tlon.
In the first years of the Ne
vada chambers history, the ny.
drocyanlc gas was pumped in
from special tanks. In later
years, however, the period ot con
sciousness was shortened by gen
crating the gas In a vat placed
beneath the condemned s chair.
Since that time, prison officials
have followed a practice of at
tachlng three, strings to pouches
poised over the vat of conccn
trated sulphuric acid.
' . lottery of Death
One of the strings is attached
to a pouch of marbles, the sec
ond to a pouch of stones, and the
third to pouch containing the
cyanide pellets.. The warden ami
