Composes Prize Songs for Fun, City Man Says Ivor Jones, Winner of Radio Award, Proves to Be Versatile Artist of Many Accomplishments.

m i\ 9b M' .. ffffpk J gl I ft I jd il

“F am a gentleman of leisure today." X Ivor Jones. 49. of 1144 East Ohio street, made the above statement clear yesterday, when he was interviewed concerning the special prize of S6O awarded him last week by the Radio Artists’ League of America for his song, "Love's Sweet Melody," as the "best song of the month.” \

Mr. Jones, although at leisure today, related the events of his life and proved that it had not always been so. for during his lifetime he has amassed a string of talents and occupations w'hich rival even the indomitable Benvenuto Cellini. The composer, ruddy of complexion and looking as though he might harbor a secret pugilistic passion, was born in Wales, came to this country at the age of 2, and for thirty years was a member of the United States navy. Eighteen of those years he spent as bandmaster of his ships musical organization. a a a HE divulged yesterday that the song which won the prize was written in a few spare moments more than ten years ago and was his first attempt at musical composition. During his navy service, Mr. Jones explained, he wrote more than one hundred compositions, none of which had been published but which he wrote "just for the fun of it.” No great stretch of the imagination would be required to perceive Mr. Jones banging out nis musical creations while seated at a battered piano in some harbor saloon along the wharfs of Singapore or Port Said. His musical background he obtained from his father who, according to the son, conducted a London philharmonic orchestra which won first prize at the Paris Peace Jubilee Exposition in 1883. Mr. Jones himself studied conducting with Walter Damrosch in 1914. The composer wrote both the words and the music for his winning composition, and seemingly can do most anything in the professional vein. Several years ago he took up law and was graduated from the Benjamin Harrison law school in 1927.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TRUCE TO END TROLLEY STRIKE RIOTS, IS HOPE Fifty Injured So Far in Clashes Between Police and Workers. By United Prrtt LOS ANGELES. Nov. 27.—An armistice ending the Los Angeles railway strike after three days of bloodshed and violence in which more than fifty persons have been injured, was expected today. Sporadic outbreaks continued, but hopes for an early truce soared after acceptance by union leaders and company officials of a proposal to submit the wage dispute to an impartial committee. Mayor Frank L. Shaw, acting as peace-maker,( was hopeful the armistice would be signed by noon. The agreement represented a recession of both pactions. Strike leaders had held out for arbitration by the regional labor board. The company insisted the controversy be submitted to the state railroad commission. Mayor Shawls proposal that each side name an acountant and agree on an engineer to serve on the committee was accepted. The union specifying as a condition that all strikers be reinstated. Company officials promised an answer on this term at 11 a. m Despite the progress toward peace, guerilla warfare continued. Dozen Are Clubbed

A mass outbreak occurred in the heart of the downtown district last night that was not quelled until riot squads used tea gas. The riot continued for more than an hour. N A dozen men were clubbed into submission. Tear gas fumes filled the streets. A policeman was trampled by the mob when he tried to arrest a suspected pickpocket w’hom the rioters believed was a striker. The disturbance started when a gang assembled at Seventh and Broadway,.busiest downtown intersection, and jerked the trolley off the first street car that approached. When the second car moved into the intersection from an opposite direction, the action was repeated. Airbrakes were disconnected and the control boxes dismantled, stalling the cars. Traffic Is Paralyzed This was repeated on two other street cars arriving at the other crossings. Traffic, street car and automobile, was paralyzed over a five-block area. Passengers filled the streets. The riot started when a man shouted that his pocket had been picked and pointed out the suspected thief, a prize fighter. Patrolman L. R. Peterson collared the suspect. Evidently believing the boxer was a striker, the crowd rushed the officer, trampling him under foot. He was bruised before a flying wedge of fellow-officers reached him. Fist fights broke out. Police, unable to cope with the situation, fired tear gas rifles into the crowd. Gas seeped into nearby stores and restaurants, driving patrons into the streets, weeping. Several women fainted. Officers, swinging sticks, beat ten suspected ringleaders and arrested them. Rioting Is Controlled Approximately an hour and a half after the disturbance started, the situation was controlled and traffic untangled. Roving bands continued their depredations but on a modified scale to that which marked the first forty hours of the strike. Reports still came in of street cars being damaged and their cretfs threatened. The strike was a virtual failure insofar as halting operations was concerned. Street cars have moved as usual, although schedules have been slowed on some lines. Company officials said yesterday ten more cars than usual were running. Strike leaders, however, said patronage has fallen off.

CHEVROLET FILES LOW BID FOR SQUAD CARS 56,642 and Old Machines Asked for Fifteen New Autos. The safety board today received a low’ bid of $6,649.95 plus fifteen trade-in cars from the Indianapolis Chevrolet Company for fifteen new police cars. Final action on the bid is up to the city purchasing agent. The board also approved a taxi stand beside the Antlers at Meridian and St. Clair streets, and a proposal to ban parking on a 100foot strip north and south on Illinois street at McLean place. Chief Mike Morrissey informed the board that he could trade in amber lenses in traffic lights at 150 intersections for red lenses at no additional cost to the city.

BROTHERS' PLEA FOR CLEMENCY RECALLS FEUD Pleas and John Spurlock, Gibson Case Principals, Ask Freedom. The echoes of one of Indiana's most notable family feuds will be heard today by the state clemency commission when >t again considers the Spurlock-Gibson case. Properly, it merely is the Spurlock case because Patton Gibson, one of the chief figures in the southern Indiana embroglio. no longer has any interest in it. He is dead. Pleas and John Spurlock. 31 and 36 respectively, were Jackson county farmers. Latent enmity between the Spurlock and Gibson families flamed into violence in October, 1931, in a quarrel between Patton Gibson and the two brothers. The exact cause of the trouble is not on record. John Spurlock killed Patton Gibson. He said he did it to prevent Patton Gibson from killing hLS brother. The two Spurlocks were found not guilty of murder, but were sentenced to two to twenty-one years each at the state prison on manslaughter charges. However, the Gibsons were not satisfied with the verdict. The clan gathered and in December, 1931, raided the Washington county jail at Salem where the Spurlocks were being held and a battle ensued. One Gibson was killed and the Salem town marshal and the wife l of the Washington county sheriff were wounded before the raiders i were repulsed. The clemency pleas of the two Spurlocks were before the commission at its last meeting, but the i cases were continued.
