Vessel Seized From Huns To
Pc Put In Commission

The cruiser eeielswAish skittered to
this port three Seais ago with the Ger.
man battle ensits Aying from her
stern, and Japanese cruiser twice her
size hot foot after her. is at last going
to get a chance in the world war.
Some time in the near future, prob.
ably sooner than between September
! and 5, the dates mentioned, the Geier
will be put in commission as the Amer.
lean cruiser sCarl@Sehnrz Ever since
America declared war on the Huns and
her officers tried to burn her up in
violation of their parole, the vessel
has been in the hands Of the naval
mechanics and smiths at Pearl Harbor
and Is again ready for duty on the
high seas.
A crew Is being gathered for her by
Captain George X. Clark, commRndant
Of the local naval district, aud the men
already detailed TO her are now aboard,
although still, on paper, attached to
the Alert and other ships. The com
mandant expects a commander for the
SEIZURE 70 arrive from the Coast short
ly, but states that the movements or
future duty Of the vessel are doubt
full and lie with Washington. 1t is not
known whether she will remain at the
Hawaiian station OF be transferred.
The Geier has Mt several times been
mixed up with American naval history
and played rather a prominent part of
Cuba during sthe Spanish American
war;, At that kime her officers and men
enjoyed some coarse jokes at the ex.
pense Of the American seamen, and
there is consequently little regret that
the fortunes Of war have led her to a
transfer to the United States Flag.
The Geier, which escaped the Japa.
nese squadron by the provprbial skin
Of her teeth when she sneaked into
port here at the beginning of the war,
had an interesting week of il before
she was informed. Treated with the
utmost leniency by the American off.
Gals and given every opportunity To-
re6t and coal, as she announced was
her intention, the presence of port OF n
first class japanese cruiser loaded for
bear and Germans had some slight de-
terring influence on Captain Grashoff
and his jolly men. The skipper pre-.
tended 70 be highly indignant when
the officials finally lost their patience
and informed Him and his ship.
The Japanese cruiser went away sat
isfied and the United States Navy,
which took charge of the vessel, ex.
tended every courtesy to the men, per
hitting the ships company to live on
board, the officers giving their parole
and pledging themselves for their men.
At the time America severed relations
with Germany, Grasshof, after three
years of every attention and courtesy,
violated his parole, had his men at.
tempt to wreck the machinery and set
fire TO her at the wharf.
Within a few weeks, however, the
Geier will cease to exist and the Carl
Schurz, under better Flag, will take
her place. As "Geier" is German for |
the change of name while |
changing the flag is exceedingly ap- |
propriate.

HOUSE PASSES MINIMUM WAGE
Unorganized Women Employees to
Benefit Under Proposed Law.

The Colorado house of representa-
tiyes has passed minimum wage bill
for women. 1t was introduced by Rep
resentative Glen Crowley, receiving
unanimous vote on second reading:
There are indications that the bill Will
become a law this session.
Under provisions of the bill, min
imum wage commission is created to
consist of three members, one of whom
must be a woman. The power is
given to summon witnesses, command
books, investigate industries and des-
ignate penalties. A secretary is to be
chosen by the commission who will
receive ST 800 per annum, and mem
bers of the commission are to be paid
81 per diem for each day of actual
service.
The minimum wage measure car
ries an appropriation of the first class
of $4,000 for the establishment OF the
commission April l, 1917. The board
is to comprise three members, apc
pointed by the governor for terms OF
six years.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-03-10

ual opportunities that workers now
have thru organization in. their own
trades unions, to raise their standard
of living have frightened those whose
profits and whose power are threat
ened by increased wages and IN
creased power acquired by wage-earn-
ers. The efforts of workers to reaiize
their better opportunities have been
met or anticipated by such conspira-
cies and combinations to beat dowh
prosecutions of the Pacific coast.
Can the trials in Seattle be. fair
when based on unfair prosecutions!
The legal processes of this country
and its industrial processes are on
trial there as well as are the workers
who must defend their lives.

becoming known number of producers be-
gan operating in Hollywood, a suburb of Lol
Angeles The California films created a great
stir in moviedom. The photography was much
better than could be produced in the East The
West Coast pictures were clear and sharp as a
knife. and. in addition to this, the large num-
per Of sunshiny days made it possible for the
players to work out of doors almost all the year
round.
Rcotless outdoor stages were built at half the
cost OF the artfcially lighted studios of New
York There was no static" the bette nolr OF

many hundreds of feet of films and make neces-

little understood at that time.

who was now high in her favor, and who was
consulted about everything. He told US he

ments, and that we might get orders any

Everybody was wild to 90 except Karl

for not wanting to go.

All our excitement, about California for

One day, not long afterwards, Madame cali

others Of the players into her office for a
terence. Before this Myra and l had just
worked Ia haphazard fashion, one day we
would be in a comedy, the next in q drama;
one day 1 would be leading lady, the next
supporting Myra some other player.
Now, Madame proposed to organize two
companies and put Myra at the head of one in

The good movie actor works in utter disre-
gard of the camera. except when closeup is
being made. when he must stare it right in the
eve. The regular stage player is accustomed
to playing to an audience, and to him the
camera represents the audience-and the first
thing he must learn is to forget all about it
and play to the other performers and scenery
anything but the lens. Good actors soon learn
this, but your self-conscious and egotistical
actor never does lie wants to be in the spot

An actor OF this kind is called c. L., which
translated, means camera louise. My leading
man G. L. of the most pronounced type.
He stalled and strutted and waved his arms

screwed up his features and beetle browed eyes

and he left in high, dUdgeon, with many cutting
remarks about the movies being low form
