MOTHER SEEKS
/ AkIBI FOR SON
(, IN LINGLE CASE
Denies Suspect Is Killer of
Reporter; Feared Guns,
Defender Says.

~ United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. IA determined
mother who contends that her
nghting" son couldn't have COM
hlltted murder because he was
afraid of guns issued a challenge
today TO authorities preparing 10
bring Leo v. Brothers from mis-
secret prison to charge him openly
with the Staying of Alfred Lingle.
They have me TO deal with now
and before I'm through with them
tneyll be glad to quit" declared
Mrs. Cordell Jessen, AZ, st. Louis,
Who came here to fight for the life
OF Brothers, her son whom she says
Is 20 instead of 80. as he told police.
Conferred With Attorneys
Leo was fighter, but not a
Killer, and he never was a crook, -
She declared hotly in defense Of the
athletic blonde whom Detective Pat
Roche says is "the toughest man"
ne has ever met.
While Roche and John A. Swan
son, states attorney, prepared to
charge Brothers formally with the
Lingle murder, Mrs. lessen con-
TERED with her attorneys and dug
Into her memory and records for
the proof she said she could present
that Leo is not guilty
She attempted to trace telephone
calls and to show that Leo was in
Michigan June 8, when Lingle was
killed.
Feared RevOlvers
She also would prove, she said
that while in hiding here, Brothers
lived on 500 month paid him by
a st. Louis union plus sums of $40
and SIS week which she sent him.
This, she said, would prove that
he had not been paid a large sum
of money to kill Lingle.
"Ahd he always was afraid Of re-
volvers," she said. He never car
ried one, but he did shoot one on
New Years and July 4. 1t was a
little gun had owned for twenty
years"
Swanson and Roche indicated
they would arraign Brothers today
and ask for an immediate trial.

COMPOSERS AND
AUTHORS AIDED
BY NEW BILL
VestaI Measure to Amend
Copyright Laws Comes
Before Congress.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - The
author, playwright and composer
had their day in congress today.
The Vestal bill to amend present
copyright laws in various particu-
lars affecting these creators as well
as publishers Of books, magazines
and newspapers came before the
house with prospects of action be-
fore night.
The measure, in formulation
since 1926, was considered at the
last session without final action. 1t
amends the present law, enacted in
1909, in four important ways. The
senate has not yet considered it.
Gives Author Protection
Primarily designed to give great
er protection to the author, it pro-
vides for automatic copyright, which
means the author or artist can copy
right his work when completed
without waiting for publication.
This privilege now is enjoyed only
by playwrights.
The bill also establishes Invisible
copyright permitting an author to
sell magazine, book, theatrical and
motion picture rights separately. At
present, only one person can hold a
copyright. The measure seeks to
protect authors in the international
field by providing entry of the
United States into the international
copyright union. Under it's articles
any author whose work is copy
righted in one Of the countries au-
tomatically obtains protection in al
others.
Composers Objections Met
The bill also seeks to meet OBJ
jectionS raised by composers againsT
law as it affects mechanical anc
radio production Of their works. The
copyright owner Of a musical com
position, as distinguished from the
author, now gets a 2-cent license fet
for reproduction on every recorc
or piano-player disc made from it
The composer argues this puts
him at the mercy of any mechnica
reproduction concern with whom he
has no contractual relations, anc
forces him to permit the use of his
work at a fixed price over which
he has no control.
The bill provides for repeal o.
this section after Jan. l, 1882, to give
manufacturers time to ADJUST them
selves, restoring after that time the
free right of the composer to make
his own contracts.

Vacation Time Coming

Judging by the tenor of many
telephone calls here of late,
many folks plan their summer
vacations in accordance with
the baseball schedule. In these
days it is not an uncommon
thing to have telephone inquiry
as to what dates the Griffmen
will be home or in certain other
American League cities, judging
on where the caller plans to
spend his leisure weeks.
Some fans wish to take their
summer rest while the club is
home and others figure on being
around Boston or Detroit, or
some other Griffithian way-sta-
ton, and prefer to schedule
their visits away at time when
