FILIPINOS MAY REJECT GIFT OF LIBERTY OFFERED UNDER BILL VETOED BY HOOVER If Senate -Follows House in Overriding President’s Action, Bitter Fight Will Rock Islands Over Freedom Terms. By firrlppt-f/otrnril Xctrspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. —If the senate now rides rough-shod over the President’s veto of Philippine independence, as did the house Friday, there will be staged at Manila the battle of the century over whether the people of the islands will accept freedom thus tendered. If the veto is overridden, it still remains for the Philippine legislature to approve the measure, and it is by no means certain it will do so. The Filipinos have twelve months in which to debate the issue, and there is every indication that the debate will be both long and hectic.

The chances at least are fifty-fifty, according to word from Manila, that Uncle Sam’s long-deferred gift of freedom will be scorned by the recipients because of the various strings tied to it. Wore this to happen, it would be the first time in history that a peoIjic refused their independence from another under like circumstances. It would be a no small slap in the face and a blow to American prestige abroad. Rattle to Rock Islands Foreign critics already charge the provisions of the bill were largely prompted by American self-interest, rather than the high ideals professed by the country when the islands were taken over a third of a century ago. If the independence measure gets past the senate, the battle over acceptance or rejection almost certainly will rock the islands. President Quezon, of the Philippine senate, thus bitterly has opposed It. He wanted it either materially altered or killed in congress. But once it passed, he was quoted as saying he hoped the President would sign it in order to give the Philippine legislature a chance tb kill it. Watch Japan’s Reactions At the end of the line, of the most distinguished commissions the archipelago ever sent to Washington on ah independence mission, has worked ceaselessly for its passage. Manuel Roxas of the Ipwer house, and Senator Sergio Qsmrna, one of the most potent political figures in the islands, at the head of that commission, favor acceptance. ‘Senator Quezon, it is understood recently has changed his mind to the extent that he will postpone filial judgment until he can study the measure item by item. Meanwhile. Japan's reactions to the President’s veto message is awaited with interest. Points to Grave Danger His blunt references to “grave dangers or foreign invasion and war” if the United States withdraws from its far eastern outpost, naturally bring Japan to mind, though obviously no names were mentioned. The whole paper, in fact, had as its background the dangerous unrest now rampant in the Orient, and there was frequent mention of the peril of “encroachments by others,” “the spirit of imperialism’ ’abroad in the world, and the possibility of "exploitation of peoples by other races.”

MRS. BRINK IS 6TH INTOURNEY Shows Brilliancy in Last Round; Judged One of Two Best. By Timrn Special ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 14. —Although she played magnificent bridge Friday, Mrs. L. H. Brink of Indianapolis failed to overcome the handicap of two rounds of low cards, and finished sixth in the national amateur bridge tournament here. Carroll Duren of San Francisco, Cal., won the national title. Miss Sadie Bennett of New Orleans, La., was second, and Mrs. Sidney Conner of Macon, Ga., was third. Mrs. Brink, entrant of The Indianapolis Times, was rated by experts of the American Bridge League, which sponsored the national competition, as one of the two best players in the tournament. After scoring heavily in the first round to lead the field by more than 2,500 points, she was forced by poor cards to play a defensive game in the second round, and barely held her lead. She dropped to sixth place Thursday when the run of low cards continued. Mrs. Brink’s play today was the feature of the find round. Playing brilliantly, she piled up more than 4,000 points. Duren, the winner, was the only man in the competition. He received the cup emblematic of the national championship.

COUNTY REGROUPING BILL IS INTRODUCED W* A First Consideration of Proposal From Senator. First consideration of the proposal to provide ways and means for working out consolidation of counties and townships came from Senator L. L.

County commissioners, acting upon their own initiative, or on petition of at least fifty resident freeholders, must call an election to decide upon consolidations of neighboring counties. RUTH JUDD TO FILE PLEA FOR CLEMENCY Condemned Slayer to Ask Board to Hear Her Story. By Science Service PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 14.—Asking either a pardon, commutation of her death sentence, or sentence for second-degree murder, or manslaughter, Winnie Ruth Judd, condemned murderess, today planned to file a plea for clemency with the state board of pardons and paroles. The petition was to ask the board to hear her story of the “trunk murder” of Agnes Ann Leroi. Statements declaring Mrs. Judd killed in self-defense and that she was not permitted by counsel to testify at her trial were contained in the petition. Mrs. Judd signed the clemency application at the Florence state prison, where she is sentenced to be hanged Feb. 17. Her attorneys reported she was in high spirits, confident her plea would be granted.

No Income Tax Exemption for Aid Given to Needy Relatives

Bu Scripp.Howard \ ewspaper Alliance VX/'ASHINGTON, Jan. 14— If you contributed SIOO or SI,OOO to your Community Chest, that is a deductible contribution from your income tax, but if you sent SSO every month to your brother who has been without work and another SSO every month to your sister, you can not deduct the amount from your total taxable income. There seems to be no justice in this, but nevertheless it is an official ruling by the bureau of internal revenue, and it comes as sad news to thousands of income taxpayers, who on March 15 will be required to pay a higher rate of income taxation than they have paid any yer.r since the war. Many taxpayers had asked if such contributions were as worthy a charity as donations to the Y. M. C. A. or the church building fund, but the internal revenue bureau ruled otherwise. It said: "The amount contributed by a taxpayers to a needy relative or individual may not be deducted for federal income tax purposes under the Heading of cont/' buttons, as there is r.o provision in Section 23N revenue act of 1932. headed ‘charitable

Famed Opera Conductor Here to Search for Hidden Talent

Giacomo Spadoni Undaunted by Insull Crash That Lays Dreams Low. The fingers of life have played every scale possible on Giacomo Spadoni, just as his own fingers have run trebles and basses on the piano in testing hundreds of voices of songbirds of the nation. And now Spadoni, former assistant conductor of the Chicago Civic Opera company, is in Indianapolis, smiling as he views the most recent tune that life played—the Insull crash. Spadoni, with many others of the Chicago company, found themselves without a patron when Samuel Insull left for Greece, so he is visiting Indianapolis and plans formation of a grand opera chorus which may be the foundation of a grand opera for the capitol city of Hoosierland. Mistaken for Slayer In visiting the city, Spadoni laughs at his Chicago experiences and relates one where he was taken for a suspect in a gang murder that he did not know had. been committed. It seems that Spadoni and Desire Defrere, baritone, were visitors in a Latin restaurant, in front of which an Italian had been slain. They were conversing with the chef, when someone called the chef aside and whispered, “They killed him.” The dining room emptied. As their dinner arrived, a swarm of policemen entered the restaurant and, surrounding Spadoni and his friend, took them to jail. “We didn’t even know a murder had been committed,” laughed Spadoni,” and it was eight hours before we could make any one understand who we were and our connections.” Has Wide Experience Spadoni has conducted operas and formed operatic choruses in Detroit, St. Louis, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and many other cities. He is a great believer in efforts to discover hitherto unknown talent through auditions. He is credited by press notices as knowing an “ah” when it’s hitting on all cylinders and when it’s as flat as a pancake. Galli Curd, Bonelli, Schipa and Martinelli are some of the singers who have worked in operas under Spadoni’s direction. “You have a nice city here. I last was here three years ago with the Chicago Grand Opera Company. My wife, you know, studied in school here. She is American and lam Italian. She was Helen Hadley Outland, pianist,” Spadoni said. Plans to Work Here Spadoni plans to return to Indianapolis within a few days to look for a site for his studio. He will coach pupils for grand opera work, in addition to the formation of a chorus. “The chorus work will be free of charge. Any one with a good voice will have a chance to show what he or she can do. We will want both men and women,” he said. Spadoni believes that an opera company, with the use of principals, if necessary, from the professional ranks, can be formed in Indianapolis, similar to organizations now operating in Detroit, Chicago and other cities. “But the chorus is ’ the basis of opera. We must start there and that will be my first move,” he said. Famous singers who have been under direction of Spadoni are Galli Curci. Bonelli, Schipa, Martinelli and Raisa. COAL COMPANY HEAD ,S CL A[MEDB Y DEATH Melville A. Marshall, 56, Dead at Home After Brief Illness. Following a brief illness, Melville A. Marshall, 56, 3105 North Sherman drive, operator of the Marshall Brothers Coal Company in Brightwood, died Friday at his home. Mr. Marshall was a lifelong resident of Indianapolis, and was a trustee of the First United Brethren church, a member of Veritas lodge, No. 608, F. & A. M., and Veritas chapter 160, Royal Arch Masons. Funeral services will be held at the First Brethren church at 2 Monday. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery. BUTLER SHOWS DEFICIT Expenses More Than Income During Last Year, Report Indicates. Consolidated balance sheet of Butler university and the Butler Foundation for the academic year, which ended June 30. 1932, shows a deficit of $19,148, according to the annual report which has been issued. Athletic activities at Butler represented a loss of $4,851.94, with receipts of $35,874.35 and expenses of $40,726.29. A deficit of $34,310.63 was shown in operating expenses. Income was $219,079.93 and expenses $253,390,56. A total of $107,851.86 is listed under income from “gifts and grants.” The largest gift sum was $50,000 from the William G. Irwin trust fund.

and other contributions,’ for deducting amounts given to individuals. Such contributions are considered gifts and are not deductible.” nnHE bureau points out that a $2,500 deduction A as a "personal exemption” may bt made by the head of a family. This reduction formerly was $3,500. There is also allowed an additional S4OO deduction for "dependents” other than husband or wife "if such dependent person is under 18 years of age. or if over 18 and is incapable of self-support because mentally or physically defective.’ Thus the bureau holds as dependents only children under 18 or cripples or tr.e mentally afflicted. No notice whatsoever is taken in the law of the changed economic situation which makes dependent persons who in other years were self-supporting. After citing the law and defining family relationship, the bureau asserts, “It is seen from the foregoing that there is really no new problem raised by reason of financial assistance given in 1932 by in- - dividuals to their unemployed relatives.” \

Gag Rule Sought to End Filibuster on Bank Bill

Democrat Senate Leaders Doubt If They Can Choke Off Debate. By Scripps-lloward Kewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—A gag rule bearing the necessary signatures for a move to choke off the Long-Wheeler-Thomas filibuster against the Glass banking bill is in the hands of Democratic senate leaders today, but they doubt the wisdom of applying it. They have been warned by Republicans that the two-thirds of one total vote to make it effective are not forthcoming. Democratic leadership is sharply divided over resort to this drastic remedy, although the preliminary move of getting the sixteen signatures shows how the youngsters’ rebellion has upset them and cast a shadow over the incoming Roosevelt administration. Minority Leader Robinson, (Dem., Ark.), often the target of Senator Huey P. Long’s wrath, prefers to withhold the motion if it seems likely to fail. It might impair his prestige in the face of a possible fight to unseat him next session.

Just Too Magnificent! ‘Talk of the Town’ Weddkig Plans Leads to Arrest of Couple.

Mrs. Arlene Kirkland

IT would have been magnificent. The bride and bridegroom would have been the envy of the city, and society would have cast envious eyes on the elegance of the church, the wedding breakfast, the finery. There would have been many costly flowers, and for days there would be nothing but conversation about the elaborate wedding ceremony and the breakfast in an exclusive downtown club. All this might have been, but— Best laid plans for the “Phillips-Bishop” wedding next week went awry when city detectives threw a wrench into the machinery that was intended to start the church bells ringing.

And, as a consequence, Charles J. Kirkland, alias James Hughes, alias Charles Bishop, and Mrs. Arlene Kirkland, alias Bishop, alias Hughes, alias Williams are in the city prison today suspected of attempting one of the most daring confidence games ever undertaken here. Kirkland, 31, of New York, and Mrs. Kirkland, 43, are charged with vagrancy. They are held in default of $2,000 bond, following their arrest late Friday night when preparations of the wedding had reached the point of completion.

Giacomo Spadoni

But Senator Carter Glass (Dem., Vt.), demands a showdown on the measure supposed to have the indorsement of President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt. He wants to know how many Democrats will support the fiery Mr. Long against the established Democratic leadership and the next President. He also wants to show that big banking interests, represented by certain reactionary Republican senators, are the real opponents of the measure. ‘THEY SHALL NOT PASS’ State Senate Keeps Space Inside Railing as Sacred Ground. “They shall not pass” became the slogan in the Indiana Senate today so far as the space inside the railing concerns the public. Inside the railing only senators, other officials, employes, and newspaper men are permitted. Back of the railing there are two groups of seats, one to the east being for the general public while about fifty seats on the west are reserved for those having cards signed by Lieutenant-Governor M. Clifford Townsend or a senator.

Charles J. Kirkland

The minister in a historical downtown church had been paid—s2oo. Flowers had been ordered—ss,ooo worth—and reservation had been made for a $2,400 breakfast in a downtown club. Everything was set and ready, except for one detail. The story sounded strange to a prominent florist, who had dined Mrs. Kirkland to celebrate the huge floral order. Suspicion first gripped the florist when his guest, commenting of the luxuriousness of the club, decided to engage the dining room for the wedding breakfast. While Mrs. Kirkland was discussing the matter with a club executive, the florist literally “burned up” the telephone wires in making inquiries. He had cashed a S3O check for Mrs. Kirkland to “relieve her of temporary embarrassment,” he told detectives. The inquiries brought results, and within a few minutes Detectives William Miller and Edward Rouls were standing guard at the club entrance. The florist and Mrs. Kirkland emerged. Miller and Rouls followed. The woman fled in a taxi. The detectives trailed behind until the cab stopped at the Harrison hotel, where Mrs. Kirkland apparently rushed to her room. Miller and Rouls waited until the woman and Hughes “checked out,” bound for California. The pair was arrested. They are said to have admitted passing bad checks in Los Angeles, Cal.; Philadelphia, New York, and in Florida and Texas cities.

WRITER LOSES $500,000 SUIT FORLOVEBALM 64-Year-Old Architect Settles Out of Court, Is Report. By r nitrd Press CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—The love story of Ernest R. Graham, one of the nation’s best-known architects, and Mrs. Alma N. Anderson as measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars, was told in superior court records today. Only the outline of the story had been revealed when Superior Judge Paul McWilliams ordered the $500,000 conspiracy suit of Mrs. Anderson. a romance writer, against the architect dismissed. There were intimations that settlement of the case had been reached outside of court. Hardly had this matter been disposed of when anew legal complication of the blasted romance arose. The Canada Life Assurance Company of Toronto asked the federal court to interpret the rights of five persons to divide a SSOO monthly annuity which Graham ordered paid to the comely 46-yecr-old authoress. Ten-Year Affair Described Those named were Edwin Markham, 80-year-old poet, whose work, "The Man With the Hoc” is a byword in America, I. R. O’Crowley and Lucy C. McDannell, New York attorney, Robert E. Burke, Chicago attorney and Mrs. Anderson. Mrs. Anderson explained the action arose over a loan made to her by Markham which was secured by the annuity. A ten-year love affair between the architect, now 64, and the writer whose works include “Love Letters of a Mystic,” “Shadows” and “Old Fashioned Days,” was outlined before dismissal of the suit. Mrs. Anderson said she met the famed architect, who was assistant director of construction for the Chicago world’s fair of 1893 in 1916. She said he already had paid $165,000 for her support and would pay SIOO,OOO more under an annuity agreement if she fulfills her normal life expectancy. She said Graham promised to wed her on the death of his invalid wife, but that he cast her aside in 1925. Her complaint charged she had been “shadowed” by detectives and otherwise annoyed. raid $20,000 a Year Opposing counsel termed the case “a gigantic conspiracy.” Describing Graham as she met him, Mrs. Anderson said: “He was most attractive and qutie devoted. He was very fond of dancing, and although he was not a young man he danced beautifully. He did the things one usually does when one is in love.” She said he paid her expenses and rent, amounting to about $20,000 a year.

‘GO GET LOCKED UP/ IS ORDER OF JUDGE Cox Sends Ex-Cop to Jail in Own Custody. "There’s no need to call a depuuty sheriff. Just take these committment papers over to the jail and tell them to lock you up.’ With this order, Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox sent Thomas J. Gray, ex-policeman and .former grand jury member, to an indefinite term in jail for contempt of court today. Gray was found gu'ilty of failure to pay $6 weekly support to his wife, Mrs. Bertha Gray, and two small children. Evidence was heard last Saturday when Cox ordered Gray to appear today. A divorce suit filed by Gray Nov. 12 is awaiting trial. On ’ Dec. 7 Mrs. Gray filed a petition for the support money until the case is heard. The order was granted Dec. 24, but Gray made no payments. When questioned by Cox, Gray said he was unable to pay, and did not answer Cox’s question why he continued owning an automobile. Gray was dismissed from the police force after his indictment in connection with a federal investigation of a liquor conspiracy which resulted in the dismissal of several other officers. A suit to mandate the safety board to reinstate Gray is pending in court. THREE HURT IN CRASH Coal Truck Collides With Auto; Two Are Sent to Hospitals.

LEAGUE SEEKS SIMPLEBALLOT Women Voters Would Drop Long List of Names of Electors. Hoosier voters in 1936 will have th names of presidential candidates on the ballots, rather than a long list of party presidential electors, if the Indiana League of Women Voters' program is put through the present legislature. In outlining plans for election reform drafted by the league. Miss Florence Kirlin, executive secretary, pointed out today that placing presidential candidates on the ballot is one change sought. Others include a permanent registration law, long fought for by the league. Ballot scratching would be made easier under another measure proposed by the league. This Mould permit a voter to mark the party circle and merely scratch candidates by checking those he wished to vote for outside the party column. An economy measure proposed by the league would eliminate 7,000 election day sheriffs at a saving of around $85,000, Miss Kirlin said. The league also is sponsoring a bill, already introduced, which would require a five-day wait to wed after the marriage license is issued. This would eliminate such matrimonial mills as now operate in border cities like Jeffersonville and Crown Point, Miss Kirlin pointed out. Ohio and Michigan have such statutes.
