Jan. 12.—A determined pother who contends that her 'fighting'' son couldn’t have commuted murder “because he was a frald of guns'' issued a challenge today to authorities preparing to "rtng Leo V. Brothers from nis ••cret prison to charge him openly 'lth the slaying of Alfred Lingle. "They have me to deal with now And before I'm through with them they’ll be glad to quit,’’ declared Mrs. Cordell Jessen, 47, St. Louis, v 'ho came here to fight for the life of Brothers, her son whom she says is 29 instead of 32. as he told police.

While Roche and John A. Swanson, state’s attorney, prepared to charge Brothers formally with the Lingle murder, Mrs. Jessen conferred with her attorneys and dug Into her memory and records for the proof she said she could present that Leo is not guilty. She attempted to trace telephone calls and to show that Leo was in Michigan June 9, when Lingle was killed. Feared Revolvers She also would prove, she said, that while in hiding here, Brothers lived on SIOO a month paid him by a St. Louis union plus sums of $lO and sls a week which she sent him. This, she said, would prove that he had not been paid a large sum of money to kill Lingle. “AAd he always was afraid of revolvers,” she said. "He never carried one, but he did shoot one on New Year’s and July 4. It was a little gun I had owned for twenty years.” Swanson and Roche indicated they would arraign Brothers today and ask for an immediate trial.

Acrobatic, rib-shaking, jiggling contortions on the dance floor are out of date, the Chicago and Indiana Associations of Dancing Masters, who met Sunday in the studio of Louis Stockman Sixteenth and Illinois streets, decided.

Mrs. Leslie Little, of 305 West Chickasaw Street, Oklahoma City, Okla.. says she used to suffer from biliousness and constipation. “I would get dizzy and lose my appetite.” writes Mrs. Little. “I would get up feeling dull and have a bad taste in my mouth.

Gravel and George Voida awaiting their “citizenship papers.” The papers will be two boxes delivered by department stores and the boxes will contain American garb, not the homespun they’re wearing here. BY ARCH STEINEL TWO pairs of pants substituted today for the Bible and our flag as the A the ritual of allegiance in making two American citizens. Officials of the American Settlement, a Community Fund agency, found this out in dealing with George and Gravel Voida, respectively 13 and 11, who arrived here Sunday from Rumania to become American citizens. George and Gravel were bom in America, so George’s request, “I’d like to have a pair of American pants,” and Gravel’s nodding acquiescence were the only rites necessary to re-establish them as residents of the land of their birth. The re-establishment of national ties was fulfilled as the settlement’s officials took George and Gravel an a shopping tour to exchange their woolen homespuns for machine-made garments.

The brothers were sent from Dej, Transylvania—a province of Rumania—by their mother and billed to the American Settlement. Miss Macel Pierpont, nursery matron of the settlement, was called to the station Sunday by the travelers’ aid bureau and recognized uiem as children she had taught six '••ears ago. The boys were lodged by settlement authorities in the home of Mrs. Carl Sauer, 556% West Washington street. Six years ago the father of the youths became ill in Indianapolis. He wanted to die in the “old country,” and so Mrs. Voida took her sons out of American schools and with her husband move back to Rumania. The father died. Mrs. Voida remarried. Her intention to return to America was frustrated, Indianapolis friend i say. Then without explaining to them

why she was sending them, and without writing Mrs. Voida paid for the passage of her sons to America. Tlie brothers (Gravel does not speak English) believe they were sent here to become American citizens again. But their interest in coming ceases; for aren’t they here? “We see lots of automobiles and street cars like they do not have in Dej,” they remarked. George can’t wait until they permit him to return to School 5. “See, I brought some of the books back I used when I was here,” George explained as he displayed a third-grade reader and song-book he’d carried across the water. A. Bible, given the youths by the settlement on their first sojourn in America, is one of their possessions. And while George and Gravel are glorying in their newly purchased American garb, officials of the settlement are waiting to hear the plans of their mother in Rumania.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COMPOSERS ANO AUTHORS AIDED BY NEW BILL Vestal Measure to Amend Copyright Laws Comes Before Congress. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. The author, playwright and composer had their day in congress today. The Vestal bill to amend present copyright laws in various particulars affecting these creators as well as publishers of books, magazines and newspapers came before the house with prospects of action before night. The measure, in formulation since 1926, was considered at the last session without final action. .It amends the present law, enacted in 1909, in four important ways. The senate has not yet considered it. Gives Author Protection Primarily designed to give greater protection to the author, it pro vides for automatic copyright, which means the author or artist can copyright his work when completed without waiting for publication. This privilege now is enjoyed only by playwrights. The bill also establishes divisible copyright permitting an author to sell magazine, book, theatrical and motion picture rights separately. At present, only one person can hold a copyright. The measure seeks to protect authors in the international field by providing entry of the United States into the international copyright union. Under its articles, any author whoso.’ work is copyrighted in one of the countries automatically obtains protection in all others. Composers' Objections Met The bill also seeks to meet objections raised by composers against law as it affects mechanical and radio production of their works. The copyright owner of a musical composition, as distinguished from the author, now gets a 2-cent license fee for reproduction on every record or piano-player disc made from it. The composer argues this puts him at the mercy of any mechnical reproduction concern with whom he has no contractual relations, and forces him to permit the use of his work at a fixed price over which he has no control. The bill provides for repeal of this section after Jan. 1, 1932, to give manufacturers time to adjust themselves, restoring after that time the free right of the composer to make his own contracts.

M’NUn HAILED NEXT GOVERNOR Political Circles Stirred by Ovation at Gary. Democratic and Republican circles here were stirred today upon receipt of the report from Gary that Paul V. McNutt, Democratic leader and former national commander of the American Legion, had been introduced as the “next Governor” at the Jackson day banquet there Saturday night. Cries of “Governor in 1932, President in 1936,” rose from the 400 present, and the ovation lasted for several minutes. It has been believed for months that McNutt will be a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1932. McNutt was introduced as “Indiana’s next Governor” by Attorney Joseph Conray of Hammond, who said: “Unless we can find a standard bearer who will carry on for us, the Democratic party in Indiana might as well quit. We need a state leader. We have him in Paul V. McNutt.” FEES DEVOUR ASSETS Nine Years’ Service Takes SBOO of City Garage’s $868.38. In nine years receiver’s and attorney’s fees devoured virtually all assets of the Colonial Automobile Company, formerly at 427 North Meridian street, Judge William A. Pickens learned in superior court j three today. The report of John T. Jameson, receiver, said SBOO of $868.38 assets : went to himself and his attorney, j C. W. Nichols. The remainder paid a bond premium and one labor claim. Judge Pickens’ only comment was: “It is most unusual.” Receivership was begun in December, 1921. LAUDS WAR ON SMOKE Two More Inspectors Needed, Says the Rev. F. S. C. Wicks. Program for continued activity to relieve smoke conditions in the city were contained in an annual report prepared by the Rev. F. S. C. Wicks, president of the Indianapolis Smoke Abatement League, today. Continued pressure will be brought to bear on the city administration! to provide two more smoke inspec- j tors, and efforts to form more j boards such as the railroad smoke • board, which, it is claimed, de- j creased smoke nuisance from 15; per cent the first month to 2 per; cent the twelfth, will be urged.
