LONG HARD FIGHT
BRINGING RESULT
Congressman Tavenner Shows Force
of His Influence For Govern.
ment Manufacture.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, March 29.-That the
five-year campaign Representative
Clyde H. Tavenner has been making
for the taking of private profit out Of
war and preparation for war by hav-
ing the government manufacture its
own munitions, has not been without
result, is indicated by the fact that
Representative Tavenner and four
colleagues had very little difficulty in
obtaining the signatures of the neces-
sary 81 democratic congressman to
obtain a caucus on the subject.
Every member who signed the pc
tltion for caucus expressed himself as
being in favor of government manu-
facture. In the preceding congress
Tavenner was practically the only
member advocating the proposition.
Soon after l was elected" stated
Representative Tavenner, Il looked
over the ground in Washington and
found that it was going to be an up
hill Job to bring about government,
manufacture. There was very little
sentiment In congress for it. l filled
the basket on the speakers desk with
bills loking toward government man
.ufacture, but I might as we'll have
dropped these measures in my waste
paper basket as to introduce them in
congress. | soon realized this and
made up my mind that the only way
to arouse sentiment was to go direct
to the people and keep on going to
them. I knew it would be a long lob,
and it is still big job, because COM
plete success is yet some distance off.
l wrote weekly newspaper article
on the subject of government manu-
facture, handling the proposition from
every conceivable angle, and sent
these letters every week to 1900 news
papers, my list embracing every coun-
ty in the United States l intend to
keep on until private profit and pri-
vate graft are completely eliminated
from war and preparation for war
intend to do this whether l am re-
elected to congress or not"

the democratic caucus to consider a
resolution calling on the house COM

Anita Will Answer Your Love Letters.
Anita Stewart of the Vitagraph
players, receives between two and
three hundred letters day from all
parts of the world.
Most of them are so soft and
suited to stuffing a pillow with. But
each one was written by an individual
who thought enough about me to put
a stamp on the envelope ard drop it
into the postoffice. Common courtesy
demands that each letter gets its at
tention, even though l have to go to
the expense of hiring a secretary to
take care Of them"
In the opinion of those who have
their finger on the pulse of the motion
picture public Anita has the right idea.
No letter is too insignificant or trifiing
to be ignored by the player. A letter
. in return, or photograph, means a
friend. One friend means several, and

puts it up to his audience what films to
book the actor or actress with the

is not to be expected that every per-

EvADE ARREST
Many Sim Feiners Report
er to Have Escaped Dur
ing Excitement.

London, May Pin the first ex-
element of the roundup by the mill
tary authorities of the participants
in the Dublin uprisings, after the
leaders began to surrender, many
Sim Feiners escaped in collins, ac-
cording to a report that has reached
here through the Sim Fein under
ground railroad" The escapes are
said, to. have. been facilitated by the
momentary relaxation, in the tumult,
of the usual rules concerning death
and burial certificates.
The method was simple. The sup
posed dead person would be placed
in 1learse and followed by few
friends to the burial ground. After
the service at the grave the priest
would be called away and engaged in
conversation, thus giving an oppor-
tunity to the grave diggers to sur
round the coffin and lift UP the
CORPSE" The released man was able
to walk to secluded end Of the
graveyard and thus to liberty.
Another report from the same
source concerns the part played in
the rebellion by Professor John Nc
Neill, of the National university at
Dublin, about whom SO many conflict
fng reports have been circulated
among them one of his death. 1t is
to the effect that he disagreed with
the leaders as to the, ACCESSIBILITY OF
an uprising, at the last moment TAX
ing the view. that physical force
would prove worse than futile, in
view Of the ignominious defeat that
he thought sure to follow. 1t was
said that at the final meeting Of
leaders, at, which the date for the
beginning of the revolt was agreed
upon, he protested strongly counsel
ling GOODNESS and a calmer considera-
ton of the situation. In spite OF his
influence, however. the order for the
beginning of the revolt was issued.
MacNeill's stand, according to the
report, engendered some feeling be-
tween the faction headed by him and
those less amenable to restraint. The
consequence was that MacNel'l first
gave an order to his adherents
against taking part in the revolt ano
then assumed to issue general
warning to Sim Feiners against any
participation in the revolt
Events showing that his counsel
had been disregarded, MacNeill and
at least some of his immediate fol
! lowers went into seclusion in the out
lying districts of Dublin and, it was
said, took no part in the rebellion.
