DENY COPYRIGHT kl FOR 'E!LI ELF
Sander Fails to Prove He Is
 Author of Jewish Lament

New York. June 10 P---Jacob Koppel Sander who has lost a suit to establish himself as author of the famous Jewish lament, Eli, Eili," has a new song which he says will be his vlndicatipn before the world end will surpass "Eili, Eili," in beauty.
 Federal Judge John c. Knox yes- terday held Sander had not proved his case against a publisher charg- ing infringement of copyright. The judge pointed out that 2S years elapsed between the time Sander says he wrote the song and the date of his copyright. He had 1t copy- lighted in 1919 after Sophie Breslau had sung 1t to great acclaim at the Metropolitan Opera House.
 Judge Knox held the evidence tended to show the lament to be a Jewish folk-song. but said possibly 1t could have originated in America and have been carried to Russia where 1t was not heard until 1908. Judge Knox criticized an original manuscript as evidence by Sander as being remarkably well preserv- cd"
 The plaintiff ayerred that in is96 when he was choirmaster at the old Windsor thester in the Bowery need developed in the drama "Broncha" (the Jewish king of Poland) for lament for the part of Jewish girl who was crucified because of her faith. He immediately went home and in the Pslams found the words: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" This furnished the inspiration for "Eili. Eili."
 Sander set forth that the song was worth at least s5o0,o00 and that he had received but s76. He is SC years old
