‘TYPHOID GERM' FORTUNE FIGHT ENDED AT LAST Former Indianapolis Man to Get Third of Estate, by Agreement. Bu United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.—Onethird of Billy McClintock's $1,500,000 fortune will go to William Darling Shepherd, once of Indianapolis, the man who once was accused of having caused his death, under provisions of a compromise settlement reached here. If the courts approve, Mrs. Isabelle Pope Veeder, former fiancee of the "mlilonaire orphan" of Chicago, will receive another third. The remainder will be used for federal estate taxes and distribution among ten cousins, many of whom never heard of Billy until his mysterious death in 1924. The estate, accumulating In the hands of the McClintock family for hundreds of years, has been tied up since Billy’s "death, due to courts’ hesitation to probate the youth’s will, which left the entire estate to Shepherd. In one of the most famous murder trials of the decade, Shepherd, who acted as Billy's tutor, was accused of having fed him typhoid germs and in his last illness to have prevented Mrs. Veeder, then Miss Pope, from marrying Billy and thus attaining the widow’s share in the fortune. The final compromise settlement arrived at Sunday was due to filing of a suit by Mrs. Veeder charging Shepherd with fraud because he prevented her marriage to Billy. She claimed he drew up the document and induced the boy to.sign it while he w'as delirious. ‘V SPEAKER PREDICTS UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE Dr. Jones Addresses Crowds at Sunday Meeting. “Diversity of language as well as civil wars have come from isolation." declared Dr. Hilary Ira Jones of Chicago, internationally known scientist and speaker at the Y. M. C. A. Big Meeting at the English theater Sunday afternoon. “Islation breeds suspicion. Suspicion breeds hate and hate breeds wars. We despise those whom we do not know,” Dr. Jones said. "It is evident this world someday must have a universal language. The little microphone of the radio will do more to usher in thp brotherhood of man than all the previous preachments of the ages.”

FOLLERIN’ THE BAND W TV HO hasn’t “foflered” the band up Main street, or up Broadway or Michigan boulevard? Heart pumping joyously, feet beating the ground in time! Grandly intoxicating moment o£ childhood! Minstrel band, Sousa’s band or just a little German band, what difference did it make? One felt inspired to dance, turn handsprings and join the circus. And—later in life—who hasn’t felt a thrill as the conductor lifted his baton for the overture to begin? A moment pregnrnt with the glamour of the theatre! Music casts its spell throughout all the Ages of Man. Is it wise then, in this enlightened and prosperous day to countenance substitution of a shadow of music for the real thing in the theatre. Music is an emotional art and therefore loses an important element when delivered by a third party. Imagine the Irish following a Music Box on St. Patrick’s Day! Or fife and drum music by a Machine on Memorial Day! Incongruous? Os course, but not more so than a mechanical overture in the theatre. Talking pictures—a new dramatic form; the radio—which transmits music directly and does reflect the artist’s mood of the moment; the phonograph in the home—where living music usually is not available—are not at issue here. We are discussing only the substitution of Mechanical Music for Real Music in the theatre , in consequence of which Real Music is being eliminated in theatres. Music has always exercised a powerful influence over the gentler nature of man. it is a universally beloved art. Would it not be deplorable if any development should diminish musical appreciation and discourag; musical education?

When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix This at Home

The best cough remedy that money could buy, can easily be mixed at home. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-acting medicine you ever used. The way it takes hold of stubborn coughs and chest colds, giving immediate relief, is astonishing. Any druggist can supply you with 2% ounces of Tinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and fill up with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. It’s no trouble at all to mix, and when you once use it, you will never be without it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good—children really like it. It is surprising how quickly this loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes and heals the inflamed membranes. At the same time, part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw off the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics, are promptly ended. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helnful in cases of severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept, a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. TRY A WANT AD IN THE TIMES. THEY WILL BRING RESULTS.
