MRS. RAIZEN GIVES SECOND MOTIVE FOR SHOOTING DOCTOR
Psycho- Analysis May Enter Into Trial of New York Woman-Expert Will
 Testify
By Associated Press

New York December 15.-Reveal- . ing more and more of the anguish which she said at last became un- bearable and drove her to take a hu- man life, Mrs. Lillian S. Raizen to- night supplied an added motive for sending a bullet through the heart of Dr, Abraham Glickstein in his Brooklyn office last Saturday
 This, the young toymaker's wife confessed, was that during the six years of their intimacy, Dr. Click stein had performed an operation which had rendered her incapable of motherhood.
 Only after months of married life with MT. Raizen, to whom she was married last May. she said, did she realize the full extent of her mis- fortune which inflamed in her the desire for vengeance on the author of her unhappiness.
 This disclosure on the part of the young woman who is waiting trial on charge of first degree murder was followed by the information from another source that her trial would be notable for the introductions of ideas and phrases unfamiliar to legal terminology-her alleged vengeance complex" her murder obsession'-- words borrowed from the lexicon of the psycho-analysist.
 This was predicted by Dr. Samuel A, Tannenhaum, the neurologist who advised Mrs. Raizen to go south for change when, he said, he thought his patients nerves had been strained to the breaking point by her suffer- tngs. She had made confidant of 2 him, he added, and he feared her strange complex" with regard to >sslie1stein and her life-sapping "in- hibitions" would lead to violence. either to herself or to Glickstein.
 Charles g. Raizen, the accused woman's husband. said his wife never talked of taking the life of pr. Click stein. but she talked of suicide. He expressed belief that his wifes first plan in going to Glickstein's office on Saturday was to kill herself in his presence.
 On the advice of Dr. Tannenhaum and the police authorities Mrs. Raizen : is being closely watched in her cell to forestall possible attempts at self destruction.

UNITED MINERS
 CLAIM VICTORY
Judge Orders ReCast of h. junction Banning Check
 Off System
By Associated Press

Chicago, December 15.-Officials of the United Mine Workers of North America tonight professed to see a signal victory in the decision of the United States court of appeals here today which ordered recast of the injunction banning the check-off system of collecting union dues. The case was remanded to Judge A. B. Anderson, of Indianapolis, who is- sued the injunction.
 Judge Anderson was ordered tc issue a preliminary injunction along lines outlined by the appellate court while the case in being reheard. The appellate court took the case under advisement several weeks ago and issued an order suspending the orig inal injunction as 1t related to the check off pending decision.
 The court of appeals found the Anderson injunction faulty because it was too general. The injunction issued by Judge Anderson was ob- tained by coal operators of Kentucky and West Virginia who claimed that dues collected through the check-off system by which operators ueuucteu union dues from the miners pay were being used to organize the non- union fields they operated,
 Appellate Court
 The appellate court held that the injunction was in error in mot linn iting the prohibition of the sending of money into West Virginia to the use thereof in aiding the promotion ;,,to
 It held the circuit court also in error in enjoining the performance of the existing checll-off in the cen tral competitive field. claiming thai companies in the field were not even listed in the original bill. Union officials tonight asserted that the decision was in substance n vindication of the check-off sys- tenn and of the right of union offi- cials to use lawful methods In union izing districts in West Virginia.
 The decision of the appellate court according to union officials. prob ably prevented a strike as miners were ready to walk out if the check off system of collecting dues had been denied them. it was asserted.

CURTISS GIVEN PATENT RIGHTS
 ON HYDROPLANE
Epoch Making Decision Is Handed Down By the United States Circuit Court of
 Appeals
By Associated Press

New York, December 15.-4In d decision. epoch making in the his tory of aeronautics, the United States circuit court of appeals today held that Glenn H. Curtiss was the first person to invent and operate flying boat and issued an order awarding him the broad patent for hydro -airplanes,
 The decision, said by aeronautic experts to be one of the most signi- ficant developments in aviation since the Wright patents were upheld, re- versed the lower courts ruling which awarded the patent rights to Albert s. Janin, an inventor of Staten Is- land. It constituted the latest de- velopment In a legal battle fought in the patent offices and courts since 1913, with the advantage see-sawing between the two litigants.
 Justices Merrill Mough, Martin T. Manton and Julius M. Mayer concur red in the decree passing their de- cision on the fact that Janin had been granted his patent on the strength of an invention not Ire. duced to practice" but that Curtiss. while applying some months later. had already demonstrated it's oper ation by successfully taking off from and landing on the water.
 The decision eliminated from tse contest for the fundamental patent the French pioneer, Fabre, who in 1908 constructed hydro -airplans with which he rose from the water but which he never succeeded in landing without wrecking.

 With this slogan as their watch word, the graduate nurses of Bif- mingham-everyon of them who is noe on duty--will appear on Birming- ham streets Saturday to help the women of the Federation of Clubs put on the fight against the dread disease of tuberculosis, 5000 cases c. which now need attention.
 They will appear in full uniform at all the prominent booths of the city. and at the headquarters of the women workers in the old Jemison Real Estate building.
 We know probably better than anyone else how necessary it is that every preventive effort to stamp out tuberculosis be redoubled, and we do not feel that we would be doing our duty unless we lent hand to this humanitarian work"
 It was this sentiment that caused the graduate nurses to bring the mat ter up before their association which met this week and unanimously voted to turn out and work in as large numbers as possible.
 The nurses will meet at headquar ters.
