THE GIRL IN THE
CHECKERED COAT"

The remarkable advantage the NOV
ing picture screen has over the stage
in. presenting lucid and fast moving
entertainment has frequently been
demonstrated and when The Girl in
the Checkered Coat is presented at the
Lyceum, Moorhead theatre on Sun
day. Dorothy Phillips will further
exemplify, through the aid Of photo
graphic trickery, how much the screen
is superior to the stage in heightening
the illusion of efficient acting. Miss
Phillips will play the dual role Of sis
tiers, utterly unlike either in physical
or moral characteristics, and during
the unfolding scenes she will appear
upon the screen in both characters,
simultaneously; conversing with her
self, dragging herself from room to
room and standing over herself while
she. is, herself, seated in great
chair, holding converse with herself in
animated discussions. There will be
sensational scenes of gripping Incl
dents galore to spice the story with
excitement to the very finish OF
most engaging picture narrative.

$1,000 penalty for his trading with the
Indians while in the service Of the
government, were tried and submitted
to the court at the federal session
which closed at Devils Lake Friday

Judge Amidon.
The federal term adjourned Friday

Der of whisky cases in which eight

and also in The Cost Of Hatred. These
successes placed her in niche all her
own and, with House Peters, an al
lance most pleasing to Paramount pa
irons has been formed.
I Kathlyn Williams as Lonely Lou, the
drudge of a mining town, later trans
formed into a wealthy mine owner,
presents remarkable characterize
ton. In her first appearance on the
screen in this production she is seen
industriously scrubbing a fight of
steps with soap and water. Later,
when she has made her fortune, she
has a splendid opportunity to display
a number Of beautiful gowns.
The scenes Of The Highway Of Hope
are laid either in the desert or in des-
ert towns and the Morosco company
was fortunate enough to find, for use
in the picture, one of the famous aban-
doned mining towns in Death Valley.
This town, in the early days Of the
gold rush, was the home Of four or five
thousand industrious souls. Men lived,
fought and died in its streets and in
its gambling holes.
The rush for gold swept on and
gradually the citizens rushed away I'M
til now there is nothing left but row
after row of abandoned buildings which
in the dry desert air are in a remark
able state Of preservation, and which
are occupied but occasionally by some
desert rat, who with his pack bur-
rows pauses over night in his journey
across the valley to hunt the gold hid
den in the distant Panamint mountains.
The subsequent scenes OF the active
mining town were taken on the other
side Of the range to which the occu-
pants of the first village fed.
The cast supporting Miss Williams
and Mr.. Peters is one of unusual ex-
cellence, including Jim Farley and
Harry de We're.

SENATE REDUCES TAX LEVY.
Issuance of Short Term Bonds to Pro-
duce About One-Third of War
Revenue Favored by Finance
Committee.

Washington, May 25.-Revision of
the $1,S0O,000,000 war revenue bill,
passed yesterday by the house, was,
begun today by the senate finaVce.
committee.
Reduction of the gross tax levy Of,
the bill by about one-third or to-
about 50,OOO,0OO is said to be fa-
vored by most of the committeeman.
1t is deemed certain, at last, that the
aggregate tax burden will not be in
creased and that the committee will
not consider adding the extra esti-
mates of $445, 100000 recently submit
ted by the treasury department. Short
term bonds to take care of the mil
lions by. which the total levy for this
year probably will be reduced appar-
emily is generally favored.
Chairman Simmons announced after
today's meeting that the committee.
had agreed to the following changes
in the house measure:
To strike out all provisions for in
creased income tax on incomes earn
ed in 1916.
To strike out all provisions for in
creased second class mail rates under
the zone system and substitute a low
direct tax (probably about two per
cent? on all advertising, including
that in newspapers and magazines
and of bill boards, posters and street
cars, and to submit for the house ex-
cess profits tax over per cent Of
invested capital an excess profits tax
based instead on average profits for
period of years, not more than five.
To strike out all the proposed in
creases in inheritance tax schedules,
and to substitute for the same excess
profits tax, etc.
Elimination of the retroactive tax
on 1916 incomes, Senator Simmons
estimated, alone would result in reduc-
ton of the house bills tax levy by
$10S, 900 900.

HOME RULE IN STATE PRISON
Warden coddlng Is Trying Out New
Experiment With Prisoners in
Lansing Penitentiary.

Prison home rule. That is Warden
]. X. Codding's latest innovation at
the state penitentiary. But he is not
saying much about it so far.
1T is an experiment" said the war
den, "and l do not want to brag about
it too soon. Something might go
wrong"
When a visitor goes to the prison
the first man to meet him at the front
door is convict, who has full charge
of the door. Next the visitor is ask
ed by convict in the clerks office
what can be done for him. If he
wants to see the warden he is shown
to the office, where another convict
ushers him into the private office. If
perchance the warden is in his pri-
vate rooms the visitor is taken up the
elevator by convict. Then If he
goes out in the grounds he finds con-
victs stationed at different official
posts, some even being on the wall
carrying guns and acting as watch
men.
Some Of the official positions in the
twine plant, the brick plant, the hog
house, dairy barn and on the farm
are held by convicts. One is an Of
ficial at the water, light and power
plant, two miles from the prison.
Asked how he happened to adopt
home rule, the warden said: "Neces-
sity, you know, is the mother of inven-
ton. was short-handed with en-
ployes. The legislature did not give.
me enough money two years ago to
hire the necessary help. So l just
drafted some of the prisoners for Of
ficers and employees. They performed
so well that didn't ask the last legis-
lature for any big increase in officers.
Thus far the experiment has proved
success. But l want to test it out still
further before recommending 1t for
adoption by other states. have great
faith in it and l do not believe the
prisoners will permit the system to
fail. 1t means much to them"
The warden says if the plan works,
as he believes it will there is no rea-
son why most of the official positions
in prison should not be held by pris-
oners.

LABOR LEADER
DID NOT Bite
INVITATION TO SEND U. S. DELE
GATES TO STOCKHOLM "rRADE
UNION CONGRESS" DECLINED.
GERMAN TRICK IS A FAILURE
Peace Conference to be Held at Same
Time-Federation of Labor Officials
Believe it a Move to Have Ameri-
cans Present at German Farley.

Washington, May 25.-Another ef-
fort to get Americans to participate
in peace parleys at Stockholm failed
today when President Campers of
the American Federation of Labor, de-
clined an invitation to send delegates
to Stockholm Trade Union congress
to discuss the CLAIMS of labor in con-
nection with peace negotiations. The
congress will meet simultaneously
with the Socialist peace conference
on which the state department has
put its stamp of disapproval.
The federation of labor's invitation
came in a cablegram from President
Oudegeest of the Dutch Federation
of Trade Unions. Mr.. Campers cabl-
ed this reply:
Long before the United States en-
tered the war the American Fedora
tion of Labor proposed an interna-
tional conference after the war. That
proposition was rejected. Now, after
the United States is in the war, you
propose conference to be held at
Stockholm at the same time and place
when the so-called International So
cialist conference is to be held at
Stockholm, and this proposition, too,
without consultation with trade union
centers of the United States and 9TH
er countries.
"There is no time by which Ameri-
can organized labor could select dele
gates to attend the Stockholm con-
ference June 8. and I cannot see how
any good could come from our partici-
patton in such a congress at this
time"
Federation of labor officials inter-
preted the Dutch move as having been
prompted by German interests.

Some Good and Bad euesses.

At recent examination in commC n
knowledge connected with war terms,
at a certain school, the pupils were
asked to write down the English Of
franc-tireur, which is the French equi-
valent for a free lance, and the boy
who took the "cake" won with, "a
well-known dog-fancier."
Unfamiliar foreign words are otter
strangely defined. A young student
said that an appendix was a portion Of
the body which was neither use nor
ornament, another said an octopus was
an eight-sided figure, whilst lrlght
young lady defined a synonym as the
word you use when you can't spell the
