agent of the Kaiser, but she is fren-
zied fanatic among Socialists. and she
desires the Bolshevst form of govern
ment here, where we have flag that
has protected the poor and weak and
the defenceless since the day the Con-
stltutlon was written"
The fact she is an open advocate of
the Bolshcvist form of government"
MIR. Wilson continued, ''is of itself
enough to convict her of the intent az
charged. 1t was for the purpose Of
fomenting insubordination. of making
the soldiers dissatisfied, that she made
that speech of a fanatic.
This fanatical woman will take any
punishment that may be meted out to
her, and will take it with smile, for
the most glorious thing fanatic can
do is to be made martyr of in the
eyes of the few shallow rated idiots
who will applaud.
Every one these days seems to have
new ideal.' Mr.. Wilson continued
"They are breaking out like the
lc revolution. 1t was subtle propa-
ganda. No one in this country to-day
can openly support the Kaiser and
escape. But they work subtly. She
seized upon this time of war and ma
tional crisis to start her economic
revolution. We will see by your verdict
II you gentlemen want to follow her
in her efforts to form Bolshevist form
OF government in this country"
Stedman Denies Disloyalty
Stedman continued his closing argu-
ment to the jury when court convened
this morning.
"The Constitution of the United
States is not changed in war time," he
SAID. Those who wrote it knew that
In times of stress and excitement such
as at present it is important that per-
sons have the right to express their
opinions.
THE mere fact that profits are made
out Of the war or that bad conditions
have resulted, which are being ex-
plotted, does not take away that right
The prosecution in this trial has said
Mrs. Stokes made sedtious and dis
! loyal speeches all over the East Why
didn't the people in the East call he1
speeches seditious?
LAS to her being against the govern
ment, not one word has been adduced
to show there is a particle Of truth in
that charge.
Nov let me speak of what was done
with the copy of the letter Mrs. Stokes
sent to The Star after The Star sent
it to the District Attorneys Office
That was in the afternoon, and they
permitted it to be published the next
day without protest. Neither the Dis.
trict Attorney nor any government off
clai made move to stop it, And that
is the letter they tell you is seditious
and disloyal and calculated and in
tended to spread sedition and disloy
I atty.
"Mr. Wilson, if it was disloyal. tell.
us why no effort was made to suppres 8:
IT. On the contrary, it is perfectly
plain that Mrs. Stokes believes in tn,
people of America. Her ideal of ;
great universal brotherhood may be ,
dream, but she has faith in that idea
and she is working and giving her lif,
to it, as she always has"

On the Screen
Restitution Is Story o
Evolution and Triumph
of Democracy
or Democracy

Restitution is photoplay which
starts with the daily life of Adam and
Eve and takes one through the
Dark Ages, arriving in the twentieth
century just in time to greet democ-
racy as she embraces the world.
The picture was shown last night at
Wurlitzer Hall before an invited gath
ering.
1t is story Of the evolution of the
devil. He appeared SO long ago in the
Garden OF Eden as serpent that most
of us have forgotten it.. Now, instead
Of serpent, he is disguised as an
Eastern ruler who wears a significant
helmet.
The present war is shown as the final
chapter in the worldold struggle be-
tween the forces OF good and evil.
The picture also proves to any
skeptical one who refuses to believe
that she is only rag. bone and a
hank of hair that she really was
formed just as Genesis says, from her
husbands rib
Safan is jealous Of Adam and Eve
because they live in Eden, and SO he
manages to wrench the sceptre from
mans hand and, as Lucifer, becomes
lord of all the earth.
Through all ages and places the
struggle proceeds. From Eden to Egypt,
Egypt to Judea, Judea to Rome, au-
tocracy dares to rule.
The photography is particularly fine
and there are double, triple and quad
ruple exposures, making some strange,
almost uncanny, effects.
The production required years of
preparation and more than year was
spent in the actual filming.
In the cast are Eugene Cory and
Lois Gardner as Adam and Eve; Al
fred Garcia, as Lucifer; Howard Gage.
as Jesus; Mabel Harvey, as Mary, and
Amy Jerome, as Sarah.
Restitution" was produced by the
Metro Film Company, of California

New-York tribune., 1918-05-24

A sizable collection of actors and
playwrights who believed that the
stage could do with less formal man
aging than it had had till now banded
themselves together to give plays di-
rect from producer to consumer, with
the attendant loss of waste motion and
waste money. and their beginnings last
night bore them out in most of their
main contentious.
Their two plays were we'll acted
in some instances strikingly so-and
the scenery and general atmosphere
were good. If one might make bold to
suggest it, however, they should call
back the regular managers to pick out
their plays.
These are the days when the world
is weak in raw material, and strong on
intensive production. The condition
is temporary, and the Actors and Au-
thors' Theatre, Inc, can easily survive
the disabilities of their present pro-
gramme. They will make more head
way, however, against the theory that
the manager is necessary, and the
theatre triune enterprise, when they
have squared their results more near
ly with their play possibilities.
"The Good That Men Do" is an cpl
sode in the family of William Shakes
peare. on the day that his family
found his will, and Ann Hathaway
learned about the second-best bed
Folding doors upstage opened from
time to time. and disclosed the fact of
Williams post-corporeal presence
under the funeral garlands 1t wasn't
enough. A play in which the cnief, if
not the only, interesting character is
dead before the curtain goes up is
carrying too much handicap.
Despite the scarcity of good material
here, the players got excellent results.
Mrs. Thomas Wise was fine thorough
going shrew of woman, AS Mistress S
Ann, and Hilda Spong and Victoria
Montgomery were pleasing and con-
contributed very moving five minutes.
Her Honor the Mayor" had more
than dulness to answer for. Ii told a
tale of woman Mayor which, if prov
able, would justify snatching her vote
from every woman now possessed of it..
Her Honor the Mayor was a smashing
opponent to vice, inefficiency and lazi-
ness in city government. Every time a
ward healer charged down upon her
and threatened her she routed him with
an epigram in which pith and point
Wed with ethical insight =. and
everything went along triumphantly till

had "such adorable eyes"
She wanted to run for Governor and

end of the play was that he ran, and
She announced her intention of marry

politicians that every woman's soul
yearned for little silk things. But that
OF course. politics was perfectly splen-
did for women, because it was just like
blg family and big household, and
that women made fine mayors.
Again the acting salvaged some bad
material and gave promise of better
things next time. Ada Gilman, a So
called "old-timer." with as modern 6
method as any ten-year-old, was the hi
of the evening, but admirable work also
was done by Olive May. Laura Nelson
Hall, Auriol Lee. Marion Kerby, Charles
W. Meredith and Zola Talma.

tirely with Judge Van Valkenburgh.
Francis M. Wilson concluded dra-
matte appeal for patriotism to the jury
with these words:
DO you, gentlemen of the Jury
stand with President Woodrow Wilson
or with Rose Pastor Stokes?"
Many times in his argument he spoke
directly, to the defendant, pointing at
her with shaking finger as he directed
wltherlng glbes at her brand of pa
triotism. She received the attacks
calmly, sometimes with small smile.

jury, sit is a dream besotted and twist
ed by hideous nightmare involving
the .e,f safety Of the government.

to you that you will regret it to the
last moment Of your life, and it will
descend as an unworthy heritage to

Letter Written Calmly
At this point Mrs. Stokes turned
toward her husband and smiled, and
Attorney Stedman rose and interposed
an objection to the character Of the
remarks. The objection was over
ruled.
There never was an accused placed
on trial who didn't have a defence"
Mr.. Wilson continued. "This defend
ant could not deny writing the letter
on which this indictment is based, so
her defence is an evasion. This case
turns on the intent in her letters. She
tried to inject a poison into the citi-
zens Of this city and this state which
would spread as a pestilence.
"Gentlemen, l say to you this woman

caught to justify delivery. Hence the fish caught earliest may sometimesba spoiled. The traps, which get the bulk of the fish, can be hraite,l regti tarly in paying quantities. while it is impossible for the fishermen be always get them in sufficient quantities to justify immediate delivery. Hence the complaint of spoiled fish. However, 1t may be noted that when canneries are short of fish they often send away as far as l50 miles to buy fish from other traps. The fish thus purchased sometimes lie in the cannery boats or scoWs. for several days in warm weather before they are unloaded for canning. In such instances no complaints gre heard from the canneries about the fish not being fresh.
 Now l am in favor of traps, but not in a monopolistic way. l do not believe that traps should be operated in such 6 way as to give the canneries a monopoly of the fishing business, and at the same time place the future of this important industry in jeopardy.
 In, order to insure the propaga- ton of fish from year to year advocate fixing the distance fer a traps approach to a stream at not less than three miles, and l believe there should also be a law barring all ,gill-netters and traps and seiners from all streams. re- -gardless of size. Then the inde- pendent fisherman wiu have a chance, and the eanneries will run greater number of years, instead of soon going out of business on account of TO fish.
 Theregulation of tish traps is one of several measures toward thenreservation of fish which we. the people of Alaska. must take WITH or WITHOUT ske cooper ationG the canneries.
