BAR COLLEGE PROBERS FROM ILLINOIS MINES Chicago U. Students Told ‘You Are Not Wanted’ by Sheriff. ■ U t'nited Press SPRINGFIELD, 111, Aug. 16. Hostile coal miners flung challenges at each other in central and southern Illinois today as armed civilians patrolled the roads against Invasion by pickets. At Mt. Vernon, a group of college students were turned back, from a proposed coal field tour. Sheriff William Groves of Jefferson county halted the party, four of them women and the majority from the University of Chicago, at the request of Sheriff Browning Robinson of Franklin county. “You are not wanted in southern Illinois and you'd better stay out," Sheriff Groves told the students. Disgruntled union miners gathered at Springfield for a mass meeting at which they will decide whether to "march on Taylorville" and picket Christian county mines where other union men are working under the new $5 a day basic wage contract. Along highways leading into Christian county marched skeleton civilian patrols with rifles, shotguns, pistols and tear gas bombs. Monday the ‘ home guards" numbered 1,500, and awaited in vain a threatened invasion by 2,000 miners. Peabody Coal Company guards poked their gun muzzles from behind barricades at the mines. It was estimated that 2,000 miners in the Taylorville area were at work today.

TYPHOID ON INCREASE General Rise Is Noted All Over Nation by Physicians. Pji (Science Service WASHINGTON,Aug. 16.—Typhoid fever is increasing all over the nation. More typhoid fever cases have been reported to the United States public health service here in the last three weeks than were reported at corresponding times in the last four years. Health officials think it may be due to certain laxity in sanitary procedures, as a result of decreased state and municipal appropriations for such purposes. For the week ended Aug. 6, there were 1,119 cases reported, while during the corresponding period last year there were only 996. July 30 of this year there were 1,091 cases, and 908 in 1931. July 23 there were 1,294 cases, as against 751 the preceding year. This rise has occurred considerably earlier than the usual seasonal increase in the disease. Health officials do not expect the peak to be reached before another three weeks. Press Association Elects B;i S uiti it Press CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—John L. Meyer, Madison, Wfs., was elected secretary-treasurer of the Inland Press Association late Monday at a meeting of the board of directors at the Morrison hotel.

Charges Cops Used Vile Language Before Women

Safety Board Gets Complaint Against Officers in Squad Car. Charges that vile language was used by police officers in hearing of women and children Sunday during an argument with an erring motorist were made to the safety board today. Clarence Gest, 2022 Hillside avenue, alleged that officers in a squad car called him from the home of a tenant at 625 East Maryland street, because Gest’s car was parked on the wrong side of the wide street. “Come out here," one officer yelled, Gest charged. “Better move this car and get that booze out of you." As Gest entered his car he said he replied: “I haven't got any more booze in me than you have." He said one of the officers left the police car and demanded to know what Gest said. “You’re fixing to get your • head knocked off,” the officer said, Gest charged. Gest alleged the cop drew back with his hand as though to strike. Gest said the officer searched him and his car before leaving the scene. No liquor was found. With Gest when the complaint was made was Alonzo Barrfktt, occupying the East Maryland street residence, owned by Gest. “Gest came after the rent and I asked him to wait until I'd finished breakfast." Barnett said. “He was in my house when the police called him. and the officer said that he'd better not hang around a dirty place like this. That ‘place’ is my home, even though its poor. I resent remarks like that and the use of such filthy language in front of my wife, children and neighbors."

GOOD BREAK HELPED GERSHWIN

Friend Saw Talent in Youth, Then Big Chance Came

Tin Pan Alley la studded with names that are household words Especially in the field of operetta and revue music have composers registered their tatent in public consciousness. In the following article, the fourth of a series on the muthical street of melody and Its residents Jack Foster gives some Intimate glimpses of these outstanding personalities. BY JACK FOSTER Times Staff Writer Copyright. 1932. bv the New York WorldTelegram Coroorationi “T HAVE," said a young kid, 1 George Gershwin, “an original tune.” "Well,” replied an elderly gentleman, Max Dreyfuss, “play it then.” And the young kid, George Gershwin, did play the tune, and Dreyfuss admitted that “Swanee” wasn't half as bad as many early attempts of sprouting geniuses. So he put the thin, bespectacled kid to work as a pianist and composer at Harms, Inc., of which Dreyfuss has been a guiding spirit for thirty years. Up to that time George had been knocking around town, playing piano for rehearsals. A friend of Dreyfuss called his attention to the kid's unusual talent. Whoever the friend is, he ought to be remembered, for he was one of the first to see the spark in a lad who has developed into prob-, ably America's most widely known composer. tt tt u THE young kid, George Gershwin, who had an original tune on his mind that casual summer's day, now is as generously celebrated in Berlin and Paris as he is here because of the many sides to his achievements—his light popular melodies, his musical comedy scores, his serious symphonic music. It’s his remarkable memory. George Gershwin is the original man who doesn't forget. For all you can say, the hit tunes in Lady, Be Good," “Okay," “Strike Up the Band” and “Os Thee I Sing” might have come to him while he was agitating the piano at some otherwise tiresome tea or supper party and not recorded until weeks later. It’s true that Mr. Gershwin composes the greater part of his works in the seclusion of his Riverside penthouse, being visited at frequent intervals by his lyricist brother, Ira, with a bright rhyming idea. But wherever he is playing, though there be a thousand and one buzzing around him, and though these thousand and one be adoring women in the fat fifties, he is working—a ditty here, a snatch of a song there, that some time or other he will use. And, thereby, his method of labor is different from those of most other revue and operetta writers. Victor Herbert, for example, followed a rigid schedule. From 10 o'clock in the morning until 1 p. m. he would sit at his desk scoring his conceptions and," unless one of his shows was in production, he would spend the rest of the day in other, frequently gay, activities. U tt THE modern Victor Herbert, Jerome Kern, one of the truly great composers of oper-

etta and probably the dean of the musical stage, does not pay such great deference to the clock. He may not work for days. Then suddenly ideas come to him as if really by inspiration, and he gathers melodies in taxicabs or wandering through Central park, or scratching in the garden. When he and Oscar Hammerstein II are collaborating on a production, as they did in “Showboat,” frequently they spent days together, almost fearful, it seems, that if they separated, their pictures might vanish in this air. Such Broadwaw collaborations often are vastly significant associations. The parties must, of course, be congenial, not only professionally, but socially, too, and this seems to be notably true in the case of the Messrs. Kern and Hammerstein. Yes, collaboration may bring out the glow of talent. For instance, that of Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz. For considerable time Schwartz had been polishing off harmony and melody for Harms without gaining much of a foothold in the Alley of Shifting Tunes. Then he palled up with Dietz, and almost immediately they clicked with “The First Little Show,” a revue that cut anew style for musical shows and made the second and thi.rd“Little Shows" wish they hadn't had such a vigorous parent. a st THERE is, too, the Harold Ar-len-Ted Koehler combination that produced “You Said It" for Lou Holtz and the eighth edition

Vincent Youmans is a young genius of a fellow for you. His “Great Day" would have become every bit as significant as his “Hit the Deck” if music were all. To show you what a genius he is, he is constantly whistling as he is composing, and doesn’t go mad.

But a sing is art, and the mere mention of the word art is enough to bring sunshine to the face of a radio vice-president. Anyhow, Mr. Romberg, too, is a collector of original manuscripts which, I am sure, include his own scribblings of “My Maryland," “New Moon” and “Princess Flavia,” not to mention his adaptation of “Blossom Time.’’ He composes at his studio organ and, although he must have stacks of unpublished material ready to spring at a moment’s notice, he seldom brings in a score, except on commission.
