HOUSE WILL PROBE
US. JUDGES ACTION
Inquiry Into One New York
Jurist Ordered, While An
other Is Under Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An investigation into charges against
one New York Federal judge, Francis
A. Winslow of the southern district, has
been authorized and action on a reso-
luton for a House committee to go
into charges against another, Judge
Grover M. MoscoWitz of the New York
eastern Federal district, is expected be-
fore Congress adjourns.
President Coolidge signed the resolu-
ton for special House committee to
inquire into charges against Judge
Winslow yesterday, and during the day
Chairman Graham of the House judi
ciary committee expressed the hope that
within two days his resolution affecting
Judge MoscoWitz would be disposed OF
by Congress.
Congressional attention was drawn to
Judge WinsloW by resolution intro
duced by Representative La Guardia OF
New York, in which the Federal judge
was accused of judicial inproprieties
and favoritism toward Marcus Hef1and,
New York attorney. A few days after
ward charges Of misconduct were made
against Judge MoscowitZ IL connection
with bankruptcy cases. Representative
Somers Of New York brought these to
the attention of the House.

Man bets on himself

MANY man has failed to land
W1 the job he went after, just be-
cause he looked seedy. The Boss
looked him over and probably fig
ured that man who'd let himself
slump would let his job slide, too.
That experience brought me up
short" the wise ones declare after
wards. That very day started on a
whole new scheme of living. Nujol
treatments, for one thing. Say, you'd
never have known me for the same
man six months later. I'm betting on
myself now, all right. So is the outfit
I'm working for.
There are thousands of people in
this condition. Half-hearted. Down
on their luck. And don t quite know
why. When all the time the answer
is so simple. A slowcd-up, sluggish
system-an excess Of poisons in the
body.
Regular treatments with Nujol
start things functioning again as they
should. Nujol not only keeps an ex-
cess of body poisons from forming

removal.
Even healthy people need to help

Just what Nujol does. It's a pure

that helps keep you on regular-as-

Start now to take Nujol regularly.
Keep it up for the next three months.
At the end of that time we'd be will
ing to bet your stock has gone way
up. That you're worth lot more to
the people you work for-and to
yourself, too. Worth gambling the
price of, say, couple of movie
tickets, isn't it, That's all bottle
of Nujol costs.

that before and after the trials his ac-
tons were normal. The jury was COM

COPYRIGHT CHANGE
ASKEDBY VOLLAND
Composers, Authors and Pub
fishers Holding Up" Pub
lie, He Claims.
by q STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
A raGAr III

by q staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 27.-
Charging on the floor of the House that
the American Society of Composers
Authors and Publishers was forcing
radio companies and orchestras to either
submit to graft and hold-up game"
in order to play the latest musical COM
positions or play old pieces, Delegate
Frederick Volland Of the sixth legisla-
tive district of Baltimore pleaded for
change in the copyright laws which per-
mitted this practice. Delegate Volland
was speaking on a Senate Joint resolu-
ton which would ask the Federal Con-
gress to change the law. The resolu
ton, already passed by the Senate, was
adopted by the House without a dis
Senting vote.
Mr.. Volland told the House that the
composers sell their music to the pub
fishers, who, not satisfied with the profit
from the sale of the sheet music, have
in the last couple of years taken adj
vantage Of the copyright laws and are
charging any amount they want of
users of the pieces in any hotel or
public place where the music is played.
He said that they charge special fee
for the use of this up-to-date music in
addition to the amount they receive for
the sale Of it.
Causes Unemployment, He Says.
He said that he was in a small club
in Baltimore which gave dances to its
members and friends and that when
the orchestra undertook to play some
Of the latest pieces it had bought they
received a demand from the publishers
organization that they pay $3.50 year.
He said the club did not make that
much On its dances.
The reason that up-to-date music IS
not played on the radio, he continued,
is because the radio companies will not
submit to the "hold-up game" and that
is why the listeners are told that they
will hear pieces of long ago.
The practice of the publishers, he
said, is cutting hundreds and thousands
of men who play musical instruments
out of work.
Claims Investigators Maintained.
THE resolution says that "the Ameri-
can Society of Composers, Authors and
Publishers maintains super-govern-
mental enforcement agency with IN
vestigators always ready to descend
upon any offender and bring him to
task" and that the provisions of the
copyright law which permit the prac-
tice are "inimicable to the best interests
of a majority of the people and make it
impossible 70 present this music to them
at reasonable prices"
The resolution asks Congress to
amend the copyright law to provide
that a person who has copyrighted a
dramatic-musical, or choral, or orches-
trail composition or other musical COM
position, which is offered for sale to
the public, shall not have the exclusive
right to perform the copyrighted work
publicly for profit, nor be entitled to
receive any fee or price in addition to
the purchase price for permission to use
the composition in public performance
for profit, nor be entitled to any pen
atty if the composition is so used with
out the permission of the copyright
proprietor.

Three propositions were approved by

Extraordinary police precautions were

LOST DOLLARS

The most rudimentary intelli-
gence should be able to grasp the
fact that every fire represents an ir-
retrievable and unnecessary econo-
mic and social waste.
A dollar spent in purchasing a
commodity multiplies itself many
fold. 1t is never inactive and the
entire nation is benefited by its ser
vice. A dollar lost because of fire
can never be replaced. 1t has gone
out of circulation and a black mark
is placed against our record of
prosperity.
1t is common fallacy to believe
that insurance pays" for a fire AS
a matter of fact, insurance can do
nothing to Offset the loss. 1t can
merely recompense the few with
funds collected from the nation at
large. For every dollar paid in
losses an insurance company must
take in at least a dollar in prem
iums.
Our gigantic record of fire waste
bellies our intelligence as a nation.
Part of the income of every citizen
is, directly or indirectly, destroyed
by fire. Every fire, whether it con-
sumes a great factory or a dog
house, acts as drag on progress.

THREE ARE HELD IN
DEATH OF NEGRO MAN

After a continued investigation,
detectives unraveled the mysterious
shooting of Cless Lofland, colored,
40, 413 West Front Street, Whining
ton, formerly of Milford, who died in
the Delaware Hospital Sunday, De-
cember Sth.
The shooting occurred Saturday
night as a result Anthony v. Sar-
gino, 80, northeast corner Front and
Washington streets, is under arrest
on charge of manslaughter and
James Dibegatte, 423 West Front
street, and Valentino Nardo, of the
northeast corner Front and Wash
ington streets, are held as material
witnesses.
Lofland was fatally wounded late
Saturday night and was removed to
the hospital by Dibegatte and Nardo
who notified the police of the affair.
Detectives were sent to the hospital
soon after the report was made but
Lofland refused to name his assail-
ant, evidently believing that he would
be able to handle the latter when
he recovered.
statements were obtained from the
two men together with Sargino, the
detective declare. 1t is stated that
Lofland was in saloon at Front and
Washington streets, with the men
when Sargino suddenly exhibited
revolver, and according to the state
ments, the weapon was accidently
discharged, wounding Lofland.
Previous to their arrest it was al
legged that Dibegatte and Nardo de-
clared that they found Lofland on
the sidewalk at Front and Tatnall
streets.
A search of the saloon revealed a
revolver hidden in the basement.
Police Inspector Boyd compli-
mented the detective head upon the
work which led to the solution of
the case.
Lofland's body was turned over to
the coroner and was later claimed
by relatives and shipped to Milford
for burial.

WHAT'S THE HURRY?

Changing social customs in the
United States constantly result from
the invention and introduction oi
more scientific machinery. The in
crease of 25 per cent in the number
of students in junior colleges has
been pointed to as an indication OF
the desire of young people to equip
themselves to meet the highly COM
petitive social and industrial con-
ditions that obtain throughout the
nation. Strangely enough the total
enrollments in colleges in the Unit
ed States have shown a decrease in
recent years and this indicates that
college students are stopping short
of obtaining higher education" and
are content to obtain specialized
scientific knowledge that they can
turn into quick dollars in business,
or in professional way.
Doctor William John Cooper,
Commissioner of Education of the
United States, believes that new
customs and machinery production
are crowding out the traditions of
education.
Evidently humanity is in hurry
to obtain its education, just as it is
in a hurry to do everything else in
life.
