New York, May 1.-THE dead from
Vera Cruz were landed on American
soil today, and city, state and nation
paid their tributes.
Two hours before the city was astir,
seventeen flag drapped coffins were re-
moved from the boat deck of the ar
mored cruiser Montana and placed on
caissons on the plaza in Battery Park.
Few witnessed this ceremony for the
sun was but half risen; but thousands
slow procession wind it's way to the
navy yard. Perhaps not since the Dew
ey parade has there been such spon-
taneous demonstration. There how
ever was no noisy tribute to return
ing victor; this reverent one to the
returning dead.
The weather for the occasion could
not have been better. The day was
almost cloudless and there was just
enough breeze to stiffen, afloat and
ashore, the thousands of flags which
flew at half mast. Silent thousands
before O'Clock began making their
way toward lower Manhattan; others
massed about the city hall where the
procession was to halt briefly; still
others lined the approaches to the Man
haitian bridge and finally great
throng gathered at the navy yard
where eulogies were to be said. Many
wore little bows of black, others wore
bands of black upon their sleeves.
Wilson Arrives Unnoticed.
President Wilson arrived in the city
from Washington shortly before Z
o'clock almost unobserved. He took
no part in the procession, but was TAX

close friend, Col E. M. House, then to
the navy yard. BY the time heN had
breakfasted, the hero dead were upon
gun caissons; police had lined the way
and the procession was ready to move.
Twenty-four picked mounted police led
the way. Behind them were the COM
bined bands of the dreadnoughts Wy
oming and Texas, and behind the bands
bluejackets from these ships. Next
came the coffins, in single file. At the
side of each rode policeman and at
the corner Of each caisson trudged a
national guardsman. The stars and
stripes alone covered the caskets. Be-
hind the last caisson came the
carriages bearing the secretary of the
navy, senators, congressman and rep
resentatives of the state and city.
An Unusual Scene.
Never had the battery witnessed

Try ELISHA HANSON.1

Washington, D. c., May 1.-THE
entire nation today is paying tribute
to the boys who fell at Vera Cruz.
Headed by President Wilson and
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, noted
assemblage of persons has gathered IN
Brooklyn for the brief ceremony at
which America expresses her sor
row over the loss of noble sons on q
foreign field
AS tribute to the men who are no
longer members of the navy and the
marine corps, but who severed their
membership in wave of heroism,
President Wilson made brief ad-
dress.
Among those in the long black cot.
fms, encicrcled by American flags Is
Frank Devorick, ordinary seaman, late
of Abba, Iowa.
Senator Kenyon and Congressman
Vollmer went from Washington to be
present at the ceremony thus to sig.
Nifty Iowa's love for her departed son.
But forL the exigencies Of politics,
which have called him to Iowa, Con
gressman fitzpatrick would also be In
New York today.
AS soon as the exercises are over
the bodies of the heroes will be sent
to their various homes for interment
That of Devorick will be forwarded to
his foster mother, Mrs. Matilda A
Bailey, Abba R.. No. T. 1t should ar
rive there Wednesday evening OF
Thursday morning.
Secretary Daniels informed the next
of kin of all the dead that the govern
ment would consider it an honor to
inter the bodies of their loved ones in
the national cemetery at Arlington
overlooking the Potomac, just across
from the city of Washington. But
strong as is the nations love for the
sailors and marines who died at Vera
Cruz, the love of their parents was
even stronger and in every case a re-
quest was made for the body to be
conveyed to the particular home from
which the young life went forth in ali
the glory of manhood to serve the

Local censorship. IL generally adopted,
would be OF tremendous injury TO the
motion picture business because. however

every censor would feel il his duty 20

the official the more true this would be.
Therefore. il is with much trepidation
that film manufacturers view the decision
OF he United States Circuit Court OF APP
peals for the Northern District OF Ohio
in a test case brought against the Ohio
Board OF Censors by the Mutual Film
Corporation. This court has decided by
vote OF three judges that the law Great

however. an appeal has been taken TO

AL JENNINGS IN FILMS.

Al Jennings, former bandit and now
candidate for Governor OF Oklahoma, ar
rived in New York yesterday 20 arrange
the preliminares for a six-reel motion
picture OF his life. With Mr.. Jennings
was Sheriff Bill Tillman. Most Of the
day was spent at New Rochelle in con-
ference with c. J. Hite, the president OF
the ThanhoTser company, which will pro-
duce the picture.
In collaboration with VIII Irwin. Mr..
Jennings recently wrote 81 account OF his
remarkable career under the title Beat
ing Back" which was published IN THE
Saturday Evening Post" In IL he de-
scribed his experiences as a county OF
fetal, train robber and convict, as well a.
his successful efforts TO become a useful
citizen after his release from the peni-
tertiary.

This idea is amply born out by the
appalling number of failures that have
been made recently by legitimate stars
in expensive motion picture productions

the average too high TO say that not one
in ten of these great people of the

stances they fell down utterly. Some-s
times il is the exaggerated artistic ten

getting into the spirit of the work. but
as a general rule IL is an absolute lack
Of knowledge Of picture acting that
causes the trouble. With reasonable
training and some real hard study OF
the basic requirements of this brand new
art the real actors of the legitimate

ure actors but usually they are drafted

SCENE FROM 1.-THE SPOILERS" AT
THE NEW STRAND THEATRE.
SHE'S NOT CONTRARY
Mary Charleson Admits New
York Is incest Town in East.

"Watchful waiting" is as unpopular
with motion picture actresses as Il is
along the Texas border. At least, II IS
what Mary Charleson regards as the
greatest hardship OF the acting for the
screen. You see, 1t frequently takes a
weeks work. in the studio and out. 10 pre-
pare thousand feet of film. That amount
is exhibited in about eighteen minutes.
and, Of course. the actual Photographic
takes Just about the same length Of time.
So the players may do only eighteen min
utes OF actual acting during the course OF
a week. As they are generally working
for several pictures at the same time this
is not a frequent occurrence, but 1t does
happen.
There are many who would regard this
as an ideal arrangement. but they are not
persons who are in any great danger OF
being given a chance TO try II. As for
Mary Charleson, moments consideration
of her career for the last two months
shows that she is the sort of girl who
simply adores work. Ever since February
she has been appearing every night, in
Guiding Sundays, in the pantomime act at
a matinee every Saturday. Sounds like a
strenuous programme, but it's not all.
Besides this. she has been appearing in
her routine work at the Vitgraph studios
in Brooklyn during the daytime. For SUCH
such is the life Of working girl. To-day
she finishes her Broadway appearance
Perhaps, you suppose, she is glad OF the
chance for a little rest Then suppose
again.
I'm dreadfully sorry that our little act
is closing" remarked Mary. wistfully,
while she was waiting 10 90 on last night

is an unfortunate fact that most OF them
