THE MOVING PICTURE AS AN UPLIFTER

f~s AIMED DRAMA is here to stay.
Silently and surely the seductive
germ of visible romance, with
its attributes of suspense. daring. sac

has stolen into the blood of the IN
itiated and the result has been sweep
ing temperamental epidemic that bids
fair to be incurable.
To see with ones very eyes the ac-
tual moving existence of thrilling
tale; to watch the play of emotion on
the faces of it's characters; to follow
them through the very scenes where
the action takes place until, uncon-
sciously, the scenes themselves become
familiar and the plot vital-who that
has ever been inoculated with the bio
graph germ will turn with the same
interest again to the story magazine!
When one remembers that the variety
is as great to pick from in the one as
in the other, and the price OF one IS
half or less than that of the other,
who will be so stolid and lifeless as
to waver between the motion picture
and the snort StOry

An experiment similar TO this was
made in the early days of the motion

public spirited Jew. who first varied
the regular order OF the usual melo-
dramatic program by putting on
Shakespeare plays for the benefit of
school and college students To his
surprise the change became immensely
and universally popular and he esta5-
lished it as regular one day week

THE ISLANDS
LEADERS WILL TRY OTHER
METHODS To OBTAIN DOLLAR
A DAY ON PLANTATIONS
6,OOO RETURN.

HONOLULU Aug. The strike
of more than 5000 Japanese planta-
tion laborers, which has been in pro-
gress for two months and has caused
much loss to the planters in the is
lands, was declared off today by the
Higher Wage association, the or
ganization of the strikers.
The attitude Of the planters in
firmly refusing to make any con-
cessions and in rejecting all over
lures for a compromise settlement
and the energetic action OF the terri
torial authorities in prosecuting the
leaders upon charges of conspiracy
for alleged threats of violence and
acts of intimidation, brought about a
complete collapse of the strike.
Finding that they were rapidly
losing control of their discouraged
followers the strike leaders called
a meeting of the Higher Wage as
sociation today and by a formal vote
declared the strike OFF. F. Maxine one
of the leaders now on trial, stated
that the Japanese laborers would try
other methods to obtain wage OF
one dollar a day for which they
struck.

Thaw Case Now in the
Hands Of Justice Mills,
Who Will File His De-
cision on Thurday Next
JEROME REVIEWS FAMILY HIS
TORY AND ITS RECORD OF
BREAK DOWN-DOES NOT BE-
LIEVE TESTIMONY OF EVELYN

WHITE PLAINS, Aug. Clos
ing arguments were heard by Justice
Mills today in the hearing of the ap-
release from Matteawan. Following
the arguments Justice Mills an
nounced that he would file his de-
cision with the county clerk on
Thursday next. Mrs. Josiah Thaw,
sister-in-law of the prisoner, was
the only member of the family party
not present when court convened.
Speaking of the credibility of the
witnesses and their bearing under
cross examination, district attorney
Jerome said he believed all of them
did their best to tell the truth ex-
cept Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
"I do not think that this girl was
deliberately and intentionally falsi-
Tying" declared Mr.. Jerome. 'That
she told her husband the story of her
injury at the hands of Stanford
White, l have no doubt" added Mr..
Jerome.
Mr.. Jerome then passed directly
to the question of Thaw's saniy
He summed up Thaw's family his
tory with the declaration that when
a member "broke" he or she broke
in their weak spot-the mind. I'm
der strain, Jerome said, they de-
veloped imbeciality or epilepsy. In
conclusion he said, ut seems to me
it would not be safe to turn this man
loose until there has been ample op-
portunity to submit him to medi-
cal examination from day to day for
a long period"
Several possibilities confront Thaw
the court may grant his plea and
make him absolutely free. 1t may
declare that he has not established
his saniy and refuse to interfere in
which case the authorities probably
will send him back to Matteawan
hospital for the criminal insane. But
Justice Mills has further discretionary
powers. He may feel that Thaw's
mental condition is still in doubt
and for that reason delay the final
order, meanwhile paroling Thaw in
the custody of some officer or pos
sibly on his own recognizance in the
care of his family.

GLOBE DISPUTE is WARM.
Involves Possession of Valuable
Land Claimed for Townsite.

GLOBE, Aug. Much interest
is being shown in the development
work now in progress on the United
States and Scotch groups of claims
west of Globe, as result of evidence
of the probable existance of copper
bearing ore on these claims, which
has been received in writing by the
Phoenix land office in connection
with the attempt of a number of
Globe people to take up the surface
land occupied by these claims in
what is known as the Arlington
Height townsite.
The testimony of both r. B. He
gardt superintendent of the Old
Dominion Mining C Smelling COM
pany and Robert w. Boyd, mining
engineer of that company at the
hearing on a protest against the
making of final proof on the town
site, was to the effect that good ore
in all probability existed on the
claims.
According to Hegardt's testimony,
the best smelling ore now peeng
taken from the Olo dominion mine
comes from the workings which are
being extended toward the townsite
and are now about $500 feet from
the townsite, and the claims which
Judge J. F. Hechtman and his as
sociates are endeavoring to retain
possession of.

China and Japan Face a
Dangerous Situation
The Japs Force Hand
With Direct Orders
INSTRUCT COMMENCEMENT OF
WORK ON MUKDEN RAILROAD
DESPITE THE REFUSAL OF
CHINA TO GRANT PERMISSION.

PEKIN, Aug. Tn defiance OF
the protestations of China, Japan to-
day began the construction of the
Antaung, Mukden railroad. The out
come of negotiations has been waited
for several months. The instructions
to the engineers and constructors to
act came today from Toxic.
The feeling of Japan in this mat
ter was reflected here today by a
.Japanses official of high standing,
who said that China and Japan rela-
tions at the present moment bore a
dangerous resemblance to those OF
1894.
This line was built. by Japan dur
ing the war with Russia. After the
war a treaty was signed between
Japan and China under the terms OF
with the Japanese were to be per-
united to "reconstruct.or transform
he line, use it for fifteen years and
then turn it over to China.
The distance from Antung to Muk-
den is about $50 miles. The country
traversed is rich and the line valu-
able commercially, but one of the
main advantages gained from the
reconstruction will be the fact OF
through communication in Fusan in
southern Korea, to Mukden, and
thence to the main trans-Siberian
line and so to st. petersburg and
London. With an s hour sea trip
from Japan to Antung, the trip
line from Fusan to Antung, the trip
from Toxic the capitals of Eu-
rope would be very materially short
ened. furthermore, the line is
strategically valuable to Japan.
1t is to make through traffic pos
sible that Japan wants to change the
Antung Mukden line from the ex-
listing narrow guage to the standard
guage now in use in Korea from Fu-
san to Antung and from Mukden to
the westward.
The matter was first taken up with
the viceroy of Mukden, who did not
take kindly to the changes suggested
by Japan. Then negotiations were
opened with the central government
at Pekin, which objects to the change
to standard guage; declares that the
northern terminal must be actually
at Mukden instead of a few miles
from the city as the Japanese desire
for reasons of economy, and insist
that the policing of the line shall be
left entirely in Chinese hands and
that all japanese troops be with
drawn. This last proposition has
been fatty refused by Japan.

CHEERING
SHOW GENERAL IMPROVEMENT
AMONG OTHER THINGS
GROWING SCARCITY OF La
BOR-REVIVAL OF TRADE.

NEW YORK Aug. 7-Bradstreet's S
says:
with the advent of August the
plished fact, the leading crops are
assuming more tangible form, with
some tempering of earlier exuberant
estimates; high premiums on old
supplies of farm products are dis
appearing and the usual fall buyers
excursions are bringing purchasers
to leading markets. There is also
noted this year what was absent
for two preceding years-a grow
ing scarcity of labor.
THAT the general business sit
uation is improved is also evidenced
by the comparatively small number
of business suspensions and the
light liabilities.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-R. G.. DUN
C Co.'S. weekly review of trade says:
Every important development of
the week confirms the revival of
trade, which has no vital obstacle
to oppose, now that the tariff bill
has become law.
"A keener interest is manifested
in the iron and steel market each
succeeding week. Higher totals of
pig iron production and other
evidences of rapid extension appear.
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived for orders running into 1911,
but little actual business has been
done, as sellers in many instances
name figures above the views of con-
sumers. The expected advance on
plates and shapes was announced,
the ruling prices now being s140
at Pittsburg.
"The market for hides and leather
is still unsettled on account of price
re-adjustments to the new tariff bill
admitting hides free of duty For
eign hides have advanced 10 per
cent or more and. domestic hides
have declined lass than per cent
"The leather market continues
very dull and trade in shoes con-
tinues moderate and most of the
buyers have bought fewer shoes
than they intended and have delayed
the placing of orders for later de-
liveries until it is more certain what
effect the changed duties on hides
leather and shoes will have on the
market"

is now being worked extends In a
general direction towards these
claims.
Boyd's testimony was along the
same line and in his opinion, the ore
bodies will continue for a consider
able distance towards the townsite.
The fact that the ore being re-
moved nearest the United States and
Scottish groups is constantly increas-
ing In quality, is considered as
highly satisfactory by those who are
interested in the claims.
A transcript of the testimony in
the hearing has been presented to
the U. s. land office at Phoenix, as
basis on which the government
land officials may determine whether

same. In expressing this belief Mr..
Whitney said he knows no reason fol

Seems to me truthful and probable.
Nothing else would explain his twelve

ney feels keenly the position in which
he is placed. He went north, he said,
merely on a hunting trip, and now
finds himself in the storm center OF
a polar controversy. Dr. Cook left
with him at Annorok several cases
containing instruments, some other be.
longings, but so far as Mr.. Whitney
knew, no written records. There may
have been records, however, packed
