There are many breaihless mo-
ments recorded upon the motion
picture film. but there have been
few which excel the balloon flight
Of Ann Pennington In the Famous
Players Paramount picture, The
Rainbow Princess" The script
called for the ascension TO be made
In a storm and Director ]. seario
Dawloy did his best 10 carry out the
idea Of the author. When Miss
Pennington started aloft In the bal
loon there were hundreds Of people,
gathered from miles around. who
thrilled at the spectacle OF this lit
tie film star being carried high IN
the air in the teeth Of q driving
gale. SO bad was the wind that
the balloon sol completely beyond
Miss Pennington's control and she
made a very dangerous landing,
hruising herself quite badly. The
Rainbow Princess" will be the at
traction at the Columbus Theatre,
Tuesday October 9th.

WILSON IS ASSURED BY SENATOR
SIMMONS OF BIG WAR FUND

Washington, February 4-Senator
Simmons, Chairman of the Senate Fl
nance Committee, was summoned to
the White House today and conferred
with President Wilson on means OF
raising sufficient revenue in case OF
hostilities with Germany,
Senator Simmons assured the Pres
ident that Congress would move
promptly whenever money is needed
and that there would be no opposition
to any reasonable requests from the
government. While no specific sum
was mentioned at the conference, SEN
ator Simmons recalled that at the out
break of the Spanish-American War
a bond issue of s5OO,OO0,OOO was au-
thorized by Congress and a direct ap-
preparation was made, its expendi-
ture being placed In the hands OF
President Mckinley,
The President did not ask the Sen
ator to take any immediate steps and
told him that nothing had occurred SO
far necessitating the raising of addi-
tional revenue.
In the event that American ships
and lives are lost as a result OF
Germany's new submarine policy the
President will follow the course out
lined in Fridays address to Congress
and appear before a Joint session to
ask for authority for necessary steps,
Senator Simmons pointed out that
under the pending special revenue bill
the amount Of certificates of indebt-
edness which can be issued by the
Secretary Of the Treasury would be
increased to sSOO,OOo,0o0 from $780,
100000 now authorized.

SON MAY BE ABANDONED

Washington, February 3-While no
decision has been reached officially,
there is very decided sentiment in
all official quarters to abandon the

dent take the oath of Office in the
White House on Sunday. March 4.
The army and navy receptions at the
