Divides Patronage Between
Senators-WiII Make Nomi-
nations This Week.

Maryland's ]ong-jending row over the
distribution of the principal Federal
Jobs in that State will be ended within
the next day or two. The President
this morning told callers that he hoped
10 send the complete slate to the Senate
before the end Of the week.
In taking this action the President
practically will be solving the patronage
langle, himself. after vainly waiting
for the two Maryland Senators, John
Walter Smith and Elair Lee, to get to-
i;ether on an agreement for IL dstribu-
ton of the places. Although announc-
ing that he would not seek to hold up
any appointments given to Senator
Smith, Senator Lee has insisted on his
right to have all the appointments.
Under the arrangement believed to
have been decided upon by the Pres-
dent. the six most important jobs will
be divided equally-Smith men being
named as collector Of the port Of Bal
timore. United States district attorney
and appraiser, and Lee men being
named as United States marshal, sur
Neyor aud subtreasurer.
The President. it has been known :cf
some time. has decided on Samuel X.
Dennis for district attorney and ". W.
Stockham for marshal 1t is UNDER
stood that the rest of the slate will be
made Up as follows: Collector, William

surveyor, Robert G. Hilton. and sub
treasurer. Guy W. Steele. Of Westmin-
ster, whom Senator Lee has been sup
porting for collector.

Tucker Tells About
Use of Dialogue
in Making Of
Photoplays

There is a wide diversity Of opin-
ion among motion picture patrons
as TO the spoken words Of the photo
players by those who daily watch
tho screen. Some believe there arc
set dialogues; some contend that the
remarks are impromptu by each
player: others assert that the words
are Of no consequence. and still
others believe any old words will
do" That the lines Of the silent
drama are of importance is demon
strated in practically all of the most
artistic productions OF the screen to-
day. The age OF mere pantornilne
has passed, and the belief that ANY
old words will do" is entirely err
roneous, Exactly the role that lines
should play In the silent drama is "a
matter of divided opinion, even
among the photoplaycrs. SO it will
interest the picture patrons to hear
wha, Richard Tucker. leading man
Of the Edison company, has to say
on the subject:
''Of course, words are important in
the photoplays," Mr.. Tucker told
our kind friend. Willard Howe. while
witnessing scene in progress in
the Edison studio.
"A set dialogue is absoiutnly neCeS-
sary only so far as the lines may
have particular bearing on a
leader or a significant situation.
In this case they should be brief
and spoken with clear cnunciation,
80 that the spectators may readily
sec the movement of the lips in
saving them.
Certainly would not advise long
speeches. for these would retard the
action which is the chief means Of
interpreting the situation. In no case
should action be sacrificed for words.
The utterance Of specific words is not
always necessary. just so the lips are
kept In motion during the conversa-
ton. and tine action Is properly tell
ing the story. The general public is
not interested In lip reading; in fact,
III wager. that only very few Of
VS. are able to follow a conversation
across the street car I doubt if a
deaf person. with no knowledge Of
the play. could follow the words of
any one Of the actors and actresses OF

President Wilson made 1t plain to-

That he will go to the extent OF
calling an extra session of Congress

took care to differentiate between the
