Government Ownership,
Senator Johnson Urges;
Time For Action Is Now
BY associated Press

Washington, Feb. 19.-Perman-
ent government ownership of rail-
roads rather than government con-
troll, for the period of the war, was
advocated by Senator Johnson, of
California, to-day in a speech oppos-
ing the Senate draft of the admins
tration's railroad bill.
Il would now take the inevitable
next step in government control OF
our railroads." Senator johnson de-
ciared. "and do whatever might he
essential to make that government
control permanent government own
ership, or at least leave the way open
so that Immediately upon the ter
mination of the war, we might fol-
low to its logical conclusion what
already we have partly done
The California Senator protested
vigorously at the proposed rate OF
compensation. to be paid the rail-
roads under the provisions q the bill
and also opposed the Senate's plan
to turn the roads back TO private
management eighteen months after
the conclusion of peace.
In support of his declaration for
government ownership, Senator
Johnson said that the railroads had
broken down under the stress of the
last few months; that if the country
is to have efficient national trans
poratien the roads must be nation
allied and operated by one directing
head: that the American people
have paid the price of private own
ership" and that despite barriers OF
obstacles, the nation is marching
straight to the goal of public own
ership, and the people at last Will
come into their own"

"million-dollar" cinema, "A Daughter
of the Gods" with that incompar-
able priestess of the water, Annette
Kellermann, * i'm the principal role, was
shown at the Victoria yesterday and
last evening to crowded houses.
There was unfolded on the screen a
mythical tale of a little child who
lost her pet bird, and whose heart be-
came so broken that she died. In a
land of fairies and other things eth
ereal. the soul of bird is transform
ed into a lovely woman, Dream
Maiden miss Kellermann). This
Dream Maiden is destined to meet a
fairy Prince, the son of a powerful
Sultan. But the old Sultan covets her
frail beauty himself and has her
thrown into the royal harem where,
as one of the extraordinary titles of
the picture expresses it, Laughter is
with the lips, and not the heart" The
Dream Maiden escapes by jumping
into the sea from a tower hundreds of
feet in the air She is chased by black
slaves, captured and thrown to the
royal crocodiles. But the crocodiles
are transformed into white swans by
a good fairy, and with these white
swans, the Dream Maiden floats away
to pay a visit to the land of Gnomes
and Elves.

George n. Brown, claiming the
title as champion walker of the
world, is appearing at the Majestic
for the first half of the week. Few
in the audience left last night at the
first show because of the interest in
the one-mile walking race which is
given on the stage by using walking
machines. Before starting the race
with his training champion, Brown
persuaded several to go on the stage
and try the machines for short
race. The amateur athletes furnish
ed plenty of fun for the audience
in their first attempts to stay on the
MACHINE and keep from falling.
Preceding the Brown act are four
other food offerings. The Harms
Trio follow the pictures and do
some novel acrobatic turns. Balanc-

himself on four cues is the closing
