SICK INDIAN BUY COMMIT {
 SUICIDE WIEN DESERTED

Abandoned on the trail by a band of kochrine Indians, Sam Brooks, a native boy in tubercular condition, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a knife, according to word received by the Anchorage Daily AL askan from the Interior. The tragedy occurred February IS, about thirty or more miles south of Kochrines on the lower Yukon. The young man was between the ages of twenty-five and twenty eight and had been reindeer herder at one time.
 The Kochrines have always carried the reputation of being vicious, and re gardless of missionary work done in their section, they still retain many of the former customs, of which the manner of the young Indians death was one Official inquiry is being made into the case in an effort to place the guilt and mete out proper punishment.

The Mississippi steamed into port
looking like no other battleship in

Talk of War Is urely
Jingolstic, Without
Foundation, Cary SAYS

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Elbert II.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, said in a state
rnent published here today that only
irresponsible jingoists visioned war
between The United States and Japan.
This country is fortunate in hav-
ing such men as President Coolidge
and Secretary of State Hughes to
direct its foreign relations, said Mr..
Cary. Secretary Hughes statement
declaring that bonds of friendship
linked Japan and the United States
was timely as well as accurate;"
Japan is Faithfully carrying out it's
disarmament pledges"
The activities of individuals in
private or in public life in this coun-
try or Japan to fan the fires of trou-
bic do not accurately represent the
general attitude of the large major
ity of the people of the two coun-
tries" Mr.. Gary said.
Il believe from what [ hear
through many sources that Japan
has faithfully. conscientiously and
promptly carried out her arms limi.
tation promises.
"Of course there is danger that
agitation by INSCRIPTIONS persons,
If long continued, may have bad eff
feet. Still the large majority are too
sensible to take any step that would
be against the best interests of the
people of the two nations"

Court Rules Movies
Must Pay for Playing
Copyrighted Tunes

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 23.-Motion
picture houses and theaters must
pay royalties to composers or pub
fishers when they use any portion of
a copyrighted song or air during
their programs or performances, ac-
cording to an opinion rendered here
Saturday by Judge John Rose, of the
United States circuit court of APP
peals, when he affirmed the deci-
sion of the district court at Charles
ton, S. c., that the Pastime Amuse-
ment company must pay M. Whit
mark & Sons, publishers, for the use
of a copyrighted song in it's motion
picture theater.
The case was appealed by the
amusement company on the GROUND
that the music was played by
young woman pianist without the
knowledge of the theater owners;
that it did not constitute part of
the program: that only a part of the
whole number was played; and on
her testimony that she did not even
know the name of the composition.
The case was decided in Charles
ton on May 10, and was argued here
at the fall term of court.

there yesterday by the prosecution.

Sick Man of SovietIand Re-
mains ImpreSsiveIy Silent
at Health Resort in the
Caucasus

MOSCOW, Dec. 23.-By the AS
ISOLATED Press. )-Althoug Trotzky
now is out of the political arena and
far removed from the bitter party
strife of Moscow. attacks upon him
both from within and without the
communist party continue unceas-
inSly.
No man in American public life,
even in the heat of the bitterest cleo
ton campaigns, has had to face such
mercless fire of censure and con-
demnation as has been directed
against the soviet war chief for the
last six weeks. All the sins and
shortcomings and failures of the boil
chevik regime have been visited
upon his head.
Throughout the fusilade TrotZ.y
remains silent, alone and broken IN
the resort in the Caucasus where he
has gone to restore his health. AL
though he is in admittedly poor phys
ical shape, no note of sympathy is
heard for the man who hitherto has
ranked as next only in fame and
power to Lenine.
1t is inaccurate to say that Trotz-
ky has been either expelled from the
communist party or banished from
office, as foreign dispatches have an
nounced. The present campaign
against him is confined Wholly to
literary politics, which probably will
continue until the communist party
congress in March, which will pro-
nounce final judgment on his alleged
heresy in departing from the ortho-
dox communist principles and violat-
ing the party discipline. Whatever
the issues may be, some time proba-
bly, will elapse before he returns to
his duties.
More of Personal Attack
An interesting aspect of the pres
ent stage of the campaign is the fact
that the attacks are directed toward
Trotzkys personal characteristics
and his numerous discussions with
the communist party in the last
seven years, which are now revealed.
Various bolshevik. leaders have
made known for the first time that
Trotzky rendered his resignation
many times-wheneve the central
committee of the party attempted to
interfere in any branch of his actlvi-
ties, especially in his administration

HIGHT TESTIMONY

MT. VERNON, Ill, Dec. 2S.--EIear-

four hours for arguments and a
night session was ordered SO the

Rebuttal ,timony was offered by
the state today to controvert the
contention of the defense that Hight
is of low mentality and not RESPONSE
bic for his conduct at all times.

ON TROTZKY'S SHORTCOMINGS

of military measures in the civil
war. In no case was his resigna ton
accepted but he was forced to submit
to party instructions.
Coincidental with the discussions
of his theories and practices of the
revolution, efforts are being made
to destroy his personal popularity
among the masses and the red army
by making it appear that his part in
the bolshevik upheaVal was rela-
lively minor one as compared with
the collective effort of the commu
mist party as whole.
SO thorough is the campaign
against him that no rhaSe of HIS
political life is spared III order TO
convince the peasants, workers and
soldiers of his alleged lack of SUI
premacy in the revolution.
Combine Against Him
Stain Kamenef, Bukharin, Zinc
vieff, Kalinin and other communist
writer's have allotted among them
selves the task of showing all ranks
of communists not only TrotZkys
political misconceptions and falla-
cies as they see them, but also the
fact, as they allese, that in all his
acts as war minister he has been
guided by mere personal ambition.
While one group of these writer's
concentrates itsF attacks upon ques-
lions relating TO the peaSantry, the
second group directs it's arrows
against TrotZky's personal popu!ari-
ty and the third focused the public
limelight upon the differences which
arose between the war minister and
the communist party in matters of
military Tolicy. All these groups in
chorus attempt to show that in all
his acts Trotzky really coveted
Lenin's glory.
Whatever the outcome of the con
fullest conviction that the present
fight against Trotzky will not result
in an open split of the communist
party, nor is it likely to go beyond
q formal vote censuripg TrotZky at
the forthcoming party congress.
Trotzky's friends believe he will
not attempt to form d faction of his
own, even in the face of more eX-
IRENE measures against him. They
believe he will either submit to fur
Their party discipline or endeavor to
defend himself by the written and
spoken word when his health is re-
stored.
For the present. While it is not
been deposed or eXiled, he may be
considered as out of the arena of
political activity.
