SUPERMEN ARE
BEYOND LAW
Judges Decide Famous Musical d.

TURIN, Dec go "Supermen'
such as Arturo Toscanini, world ia
nous musical director, are not, like
ordinary 'mortals," amenable tc
men-made laws, according to legal
precedent established here today.
Toscanini was tried for assaulting
a violinist during a rehearsal. In &C,
quitting him, the judges decided that
even fine would be an injustice.
The director (who has been men
toned as possible successor to the
late Cleofonte Campanini, director OF
the Chicago Grand Opera company
owes his acquittal largely to testi-
mony of Professor Pastor. noted
psychologist. Tuscanini usually in
sists on excluding outsiders during
rehearsals, but he made special
concession to permit Pastor to in
dulge in a scientific study OF his
enthusiasm" This courtesy was re-
warded by the professor being wit
ness for the defense, which made a
plea OF irresponsibility of genius.

lime frenzy, during which his normal

"In a paroxysm of inspiration, he
falls the tragic prey to the tyranny
of his art, and his faculty Of distin-
gushing good from bad is subordi-
mated. His inhibilory nerves are COM

I WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-President

make known his intentions with re

The president is preparing mes
sage to Homer s. Cummings, chair
man Of the democratic national COM
mittee, which Cummings will read at
II the Jackson day banquet here on the
evening OF January s. In this message
Wilson will disclose his decision,
party officials believe.
Although party officials hold the

be a third term candidate, none Of
them is disposed to make prediction
and the possibility that he may enter

presidential aspirants from openly de-
ciaring their ambitions until after the
president has spoken.

Lesser, .a~
She was called as the first witness

refusal led to Miss Lesser's death.
Miss Clancy told how, as a boy,
her brother had preferred to play
with her instead OF with boys Of his
own age. He was eight years her
senior.
When he was fifteen years old a
glass candlestick was his favorite
plaything. His mother usually took
it away from him. AS he grew older,
Miss Clancy says. he developed
brooding spells.
She told how she had gone to his
room at night on several occasions
and found him crying. She asked
him what he was crying about.
Nothing" he would answer.
After he returned to Indianapolis
from the Mexican border, he told
Miss Clancy that someone from In.
