G. w. LAW STUDENTS
TOLD OF OBLIGATIONS
Head of American Bar Associa'
tion Also Cites Opportunities
of Profession.

Obligations and opportunities of the
legal profession were laid before the
student body of George Washington
University Law School in an address
yesterday by Earl w. Evans Of Kansas,
president of the American Bar Asso-
citation.
Mr.. Evans said he was "over-
whelmed with the responsibilities OF
the lawyer in national life, worried
over the failure of some lawyers to
measure up to that responsibility.
He advised the young man who goes
into the practice because it is an easy
way to make money to look elsewhere
for vocation. The law, he said, had
its origin in service. and only the man
who has real desire to make sub
stantial contribution to his day and
generation, to justice and to the
functioning Of government should
enter law.
New conditions require a great deal
that the old-time lawyer never
dreamed of, he said. The close rela-
tionship between business and law
makes necessary for the lawyer "a
backlog Of culture and general learn
ing and fund of information upon
which he may draw at any minute. "

chiefs throughout Outer Mongolia.
AL branches Of modern military force
are being developed. he said, with
emphasis upon repelling any invasion
from the east and southeast.
Outer Mongolia, continued the
visitor, has acquired 300 military air
craft, while military conscription hay
been inaugurated for tribesmen.
(Outer Mongolia lies between ST.
IBERIA and inner Mongolia. 1t estab-
lished a peoples republic, modelled
after the U. S. S. r. in a 1924 revo-
luton, and Soviet influence since has
been strong. although China tech-
nically has not abandoned her suzer-
ainty).
A heavy force Of Mongol cavalry,
supported by so airplanes, is patrol
ling the east and southeast borders,
the visitors said, while a mechanized
army and a network of highways are
being developed behind the frontiers.
The visitors said that while Rus
SLAMS are directing these widespread
military preparations only one regi-
ment of Soviet troops is in Outer

ton guards at Urga.

The jury. which has spent the past
four months hearing evidence in the
case. was locked up last midnight
after they had deliberated seven
hours.
So vigorous was the debate in the
jury rooms throughout the evening
their voices were audible beyond their
chambers. They could even be heard
from the street, and several of the
defendants, returning from a restau-
rant. assembled under their window.
Dispersed by Police.
Curious passers-by joined them. and
within few moments the gathering
beneath the jury rooms had grown to
such proportions a police squad was
dispatched to disperse them.
Early in the evening the defendants
were in fine spirits and staged a pre-
mature celebration. There was cards
games and much merriment.
But as the hour drew late, and the
jurors were still engaged in heated
discussion, the defendants quieted
and talked softly among themselves.
Report on Klein.
The trend of the deliberations was
disclosed only with respect to T

John Jacob AStor, Sd.

I'VE have nothing more to say"
Mrs. Gillespie answered, when asked
about the ring, which AStor said was
once the property of Empress Eugene.
He told reporters Eileen's parents
felt justified in placing it in vault"
because she was under 49,
To this, Mrs. Gillespie replied to-
day: Such statements as 1 have

The ring was once the property
of Empress Eugene and was pur-
chased by my fathers mother after
the collapse of the Second Empire" Z"

MOTHER STAMP
NOW UNDER FIRE
Artists Indignant at Post
master General for Trans
greSSion of Ethics.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 5.-The Govern
ment's dabbling in art, which has per-
turbed some of the cultured citizens,
was rubbing more fur the wrong way
today.
From the very moment that the
Government inaugurated its paint-a-
picture re-and-eat-regularly program for
depressed artists, there has been con-
fict Of opinion between art on the one
hand and politics on the other.
There was the artist who put Adolf
Hitler on canvas and gave him cloven
hoof. This was one of the Govern
ment'S lesser giVe-a-jOb enterprises.
The picture was considered good art,
but outrageous tact.
Then came another Government
contribution to culture, in which P.
w. A. artist represented some sailors
on shore leave as having a high old
time. From the standpoint of art this
work was accepted as being right
smart. The front Office of the Navy
Department. however, took one look
and went into what might be described
as Mysteries.
A Whistler Involved.
Now no less a master than the late
James Abbott McNeill Whistler of the
Lowell. Mass, Whistlers has come un-
der the political retoucher'S brush; and
the American Artists Professional
League is in a pcther about it.
Postmaster General Farley, whose
artistic career up to now has not re-
ceived the attention he might have
wished, found himself today on the re-
ceiving end of a telegram from the
Artists League that minced no words.
The telegram concerned itself with
Mr.. Farley's inspired tribute to the
mothers of America-the postage
stamp bearing what purports to be
reproduction of Whistler's Mother"
portrait, together with the Post Office
Departments tender sentiment, In
memory and in honor of the mothers
of America" and the added informa-
ton, u. S. postage-three cents"
The artists are particularly lndlg-
nant at Mr. Farley for the insertion
in the reproduction of what one OF
them calls a "Woolworth-Kresge mo-
tif, the same consisting of a "l0-cent
vase of flowers This would seem a
generous gesture on the part OF the
Post Office Department. 10-cent
vase of flowers on a Scent stamp
but the artists do not see it that way.
Transgression of Ethics.
In adapting the Whistler picture
for use as a stamp such liberties have
been taken in the reproduction that 1t
amounts to a mutilation Of the artists
original picture" the telegram said.
This is a serious transgression OF
professional ethics.
Our Federal Government
has thus, in this case, demonstrated
most clearly the helpless position of
its artist t-creator and the dire need OF
an adequate copyright bill for his pro-
lection"
In putting Whistlers Mother on
a Scent stamp the Government has
eliminated the walls and draperleS.
The artistic surgery went so far, art
lists pointed out. as to cut of the
very feet of WhiStler's Mother" and
as though that were not enough-to
do away with even the footstool on
which the feet rest.
The Government did away with
these details, but, as one artist bitterly
said today, it found plenty of room
for it's own legend. ~. S. Postage

1T seems apparent" Spaulding said,
that the best the state can do Is to
raise $750,000 in Wv of the past years
drouth conditions, losses from hail,
grasshoppers and general crop failures,
and because of closed mills and mines"
In discussing the relief situation,
Speaker Dennis Dellwo of the house,
who fathered plans for the emergency
relief and unemployed acts, said it ap-
peared that the estimate for relief re-
quirements recommended at the be-
ginning of the extraordinary session
might be safely reduced"
TN fact" Dellwo added after a con-
ference with Spaulding, "the relief d.
rector now feels that $750,0O0 is likely
to be sufficient revenue to be raised by
the assembly to avert distress during
the coming year.
1T is apparent, therefore, that the
care and time devoted by the assembly
in considering relief measures have e
suited in a savings Of $780, 900 to the
taxpayers Of the state. If this savings
can be effected and a maximum of re-
employment provided, then the legisla-
ture will have accomplished its mis-
sion fully"

Spaulding Asserts Relief Needs
Are Now Only $75O,OOO Instead
of First Estimate of $1,5OO,OOO
With 2 5000 of Montana's $4,000

With 10000 of Montana's $4,000 un-
employed bread winners now on fed
eral payrolls, State Relief Director T.
G. S%paulding recently estimated that
the state might be able to meet relief
emergencies during 1884 with $750,000
instead of IN earlier estimate Of ST.
100000.
The state relief head, who also Is
chief of the civil works board, said
changed conditions brought about by
phases of the federal recovery program,
and possibilities for continued absorp-
ton of unemployment in the spring,
largely determined the reduced esti-
mate.
Summarizing the work program at
the present time, Spaulding said that
1920 men were employed throughout
the state on civil works projects; 1000
on snow projects; 1890 on purely fed
eral projects, and 500 ON rehabilitation
work in western Montana necessitated
by recent floods.
To that aggregate Spaulding said ap-
proximately 1000 more were being alb
sorbed by public works projects, and
added that many now earning daily
wages under the civil works program
would be added to public works pay rolls
