INTERESTING LECTURE
BY TheophiIe comba at FortniahtIy
Saturday Afternoon.

The Fortnightly Saturday afternoon
was we'll attended and listened to an
interesting address by Theophile Z.
Comba of Dorset. MIR. Comba is an
Italian gentleman of Waldensian
family, formerly teacher of Ian
guages and music His theme was
Certain Characters and Characteris-
tics Of the Italian Risorgimento," or
Political Regeneration. 1t was very
carefully prepared lecture and the
treatment was scholarly and enthu-
siastic. Even those with some infor-
nation as to the rise of the new Italy
received a much clearer idea of this
extraordinary period / nher history.
The main points of the story related
to the political conditions of the var
ious Italian states since the Congress
of Vienna-1S15, the religious condi-
toned in the early part of the 18th CEN
fury, and the prominent part taken by
literature in preparing and guiding
the movement. A vivid and felicit-
GUS Characterization was given of

Prophet; Garibaldi, the Knight-Er-

YUAN Sill KAI MADE
PRESIDENT OF
CHINA
Inaugurated Provisional Head
of New Republic
CEREMONY WAS SOL EN- N
Many Foreigners In Attendance but
the Legations we're not Formally
Represented

Pekin, Mar. 14-In the new foreign
Office yesterday Yuan Shi Kai was
formally inaugurated provisional pres
ident of the republic of China, in the
presence Of great gathering of dele
gates, provincial ENJOYS, military and
naval officers and other prominent
personages. Many foreigners attend
ed the ceremony but the legations
were not represented. Yuan Shi Kai
who was in military uniform, read a
declaration promising faithfully to
develop the republic, observe the con
stitutional laws and retire when the
National Assembly appointed per-
manent president.
The ceremony was solemn-almost
pathetic, and typical of China's tran
sition Most of those who assembled
were attired either in uniform or
European dress. The only touch of
orientalism was the presentation OF
the scarfs to Yuan by two yellow rob-
ed Llamas.
A Nankin dispatch says Yuan Shi
kai privately took the oath of office
on Friday, after which the assembly
notified him of its acceptance of Tang
Shao vi as premier. DR. Sun Vat
Sen, the ex-president appears to have
wearied of the strain during the last
TWO months. He says that when the
cabinet is appointed he will retire to
his old home at Kwangtung to rest.

effect that Tungkwan, the famous pass
on the borders of Shensi and Honan
provinces, has been captured by Gen.

Of Shensi, before whom, If the report
is correct, the provinces of Honan

URGES COPYRIGHT CHANGE
Relief for Moving Picture Men Pro-
posed in Washington.

Washington, March 10.-"The ne.
cessity for amending the copyright
law so far as it applies to moving
pictures is accentuated through a re-
cent decision of the United States
Supremecourt," said Representative
Moon of Philadelphia today. 1T was
never the intention of Congress TO
place in the hands of any man the
power TO force tie theatre owners
and the film makers to pay many
times their receipts for having violat.
ed copyright which they had no
means of knowing existed. Yet as
the law stands today this is exactly
what can be done.
"A story is written and copyrighted
and the right to publish sold for, say
$50, and the author is amply paid.
That story, while Of no particular lit.
erary merit, may suggest a scenario
available for moving picture film
The filmmaker has no means Of know
ing of the existence OF copyright In
the story. Suppose he makes fifty re.
productions of the film and that each
is used for one week with six perfor.
mances daily. The person who may
have purchased the copyright for Just
such purpose can, under the present
law, collect something like $4,000
as penalties for the violation of his
copyright.
The proposed amendment to the
law provides for one penalty only,

important feature-that the defendant
had no knowledge of the existence OF
the copyright and no means of OBJ.

that he cease to reproduce the copy.

unless he may take satisfactory ar.
rangements with the owner of the
copyright for the continuance OF the
production. Instead of injuring the
owner Of copyright the amendment
will have a tendency to benefit him,
as the maker of a film will certainly
rather pay a royalty than destroy
work which has involved the expendi-
ture of hundreds Of dollars"
