 POOR FOLKS
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, April '. - Because interruptions lawyers have caused poor people to get unfair treatment in New York courts, a corps of the best lawyers money can buy is being organized under the direction of the public defender to see that the poor get a square deal.
 John D. Rockefeller Jr., and other wealthy men are backing the plan financially. The public defense bu- reau will open Monday. Each case will be prepared for trial by experts and a capable member of the staff assigned to defend 1t in court.
 The plan is fathered by members of the New York bar, who say that crooked practitioners have not only dealt unfairly with their poor clients but have in some instances treated their cases in such manner as to lead them into the life of the confirmed criminal

HUT SCRAP FUR H|CH BATTING
 AVERAGES
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, April 2. - Iris Speak CTS sudden elevation to the heights of batting championship, sought for many years by Joe Jackson, is likely to precipitate one of the hottest scraps in the American league dash for the top of the average list this year that Ban Johnson's or any other mans circuit ever saw.
 Joe struggled along for years, cracking the leather on lots of base balls and attaining dizzy batting heights. But Ty Cobb always was just good enough to pull out in the lead. Speaker came along, got set with a new club, and hit 'em so fast and often that Cobb was forced to look on from a rear seat, while Jack son merely hooked on in third place.
 Joe has issued his challenge for this year. He says the name once boasted by a president of the United States is going to be right at the top when Ahh bs uAsodtCo lOhI SuilllliCl Q most important list in the lives of bat ters. Cobb, he says, may be second, or even Speaker may get that far, but he has served warning that Joe is going to ride the winning horse.
 Cobb also has made some passing remarks in which he intimated that there isn't going to be glory without few sprints in the summer. He has set his eyes on that batting champion ship and wants it badly enough to stretch his legs hard for every blow.
 Cobb, so one story goes, was a very much disappointed peach when the last season was over and the custom ary Cobb was lacking at the head of the American league averages. He had acquired such a Ben Adhem habit that it was hard to let go He was grieved and somewhat astonished to observe that it wasn't Jackson who challenged him, but Speaker, main cog in a machine which shouldn't have placed him that hlgh.
 And just to keep competition from growing stagnant and carrying all in terest to the younger league, the Ma tional league probably will fling a lit tie dust around in staging it's battle for leadership. Jack Daubert, long recognized as king, didn't like it bit when he was nosed out a year ago He likes his hits perhaps better than any other star in the game, so he pro mises to give Hal Chase, Roger Hornsby, Lew Mccarthy and some other aspirants the climb of their young lives for John K. Tener's heav- lest batting average. All around it should be busy little season for the average fiend.

ARE MEMBERS IF LOST TRIBES
 OF ISRAEL
(By United Press)

BERKELEY, Cal, April 7. - The theory that the American Indians are members of the lost tribes of Israel was given added proof here today when Dr. E. w. Clifford of California University's anthropology depart ment announced his discovery of sim liar rites and practices between the Kawaiisu Indians of the Kern river section and the ancient Hebrews.
 The Hebrews, according to the Bible, held that if a man died with out offspring his brother should marry the widow and the first born of that union should be known as the dead mans child. The Kawaiisu Indians observe the same custom.
