beginning to end. They were
Thoroughly absorbed in the pathetic
story of the little orphan girl and fol-
lowed closely all of the trials she ex
p~erienced. At the conclusion there
was hardly a dry y in the theatre
for this homely story of the Hoosier
poet had touched them deeply. i.
One of the big surprises of the

! Leslie Austen coming down Fifth
avenue in a machine is exceptionally
realistic. There is none of the gaping
b~ystanders and halted traffic. which
is seen in so many pictures. The
hurrying crowds and the trafic-hlled
streets are all there-and they are
realistic. The people ASS with never
a look at the camera and they did
not look at the camera for a very
good reason-there was no camera to
be seen.
A cast of especial excellence sur
rounds Geraldine Farrar in 'The
Stronger Vow" her newest Goldwyn
picture. al the Ditmas theatre, begin
ming today. AS In her previous Gold
wyn productions, Milton Sills, distin-
guished in many Broadway produc-
tons before he elected to appear in
tho silent drama, is the diva's leading
man with a role more forceful than
any in which he has yet appeared.
Tom Santschi, the veteran screen
player, whose brilliant performances
contributed not a little to the success
of Miss Farrar's recent screen tri-
umphs, is once more seen in a part
commensurate with his ability. Re-
membered for his brilliant work in
'sThe Hell Cat" and Shadows" SAINT
sch eclipses his transformations in
both productions by his skilful por-
trayal of the villain in '"The Stronger
Vow" Santschi was a pronounced
~favorite with picture lovers long be-
fore many of the p~resent-day screen
celebrities began work in the cinema.
John Davidson, who can always be
counted on for a sterling perform
ance in character parts, Is making
his first as a Goldwyn
player in a role admirably fitted to
his talents. Davidson la been seen
in scores of worthwhile screen pro-
including IAN Alien"
Power of Decision" THE Wall Be-
tween,'' "A Million a Minute" The
Green Cloak" The Danger Signal"
md THE Pawn of Fate"

STATE COMMISSIONS
HEARING ON COTTON
GINNING is CONCLUDED

Oklahoma City, Aug. 23.-After n
hearing that consumed two entire days
and ran the entire gamut Of the bust
ness of cotton ginning and production
the state corporation commission late
Yesterday afternoon concluded lis IN
uuirv held for the purpose OF arriving
at a decision as to the price for GIN
ming in 1919. The commissioners WAL
review the testimoy submitted and give
their decision at an early date.
Cotton has been ginned upon seed
basis" with a charge of 80 cents per
hundred pounds. The growers claim
that this is not a fair method and ask
that the charge be fixed upon the "lint
basis" on the seed basis the producers
pay by the hundred for The gross weight
of cotton received at the gin and on the
lint basis would pay by the hundred for
the net weight in lint delivered back TO
him by the ginner Last year the price
on the seed basis was 30 cents hun
dred and the ginners indicate that they
must have so cents this year. They
have submitted price of S1.19 a hun
dred on the lint basis, which figures out
almost the same on a load of 100
pounds gross one of the examples used.
In the gross weight there is, after the
cotton is ginned and the lint returned
with the seed to the grower, shrinkage
of about 200 pounds, the invisible loss
frequently referred to, which the pro
ducer claims he should not pay for and
which the ginner claims he should be
paid for. because he has eliminated the
dirt from the seed and lint.
During yesterdays hearing the mat
ter of the Dale Gin Co, which sought
TO abandon operation this year, was dis
posed of. The decision in that case ap-
plies to the industry throughout the
state. The commission held that the
law gives its Jurisdiction over the op-
Grafton of gins and that no gin com
pany can abandon operation without
first having made showing before
the commission that the operation would
be improbable or that the crop in that
particular section of the state would
not warrant operation. This, the com
mission recited. the decision being an
nounced by Commissioner r. +. Echols,
applies to all gins that have been oper-
ated during the last four years, the
period during which they have been un-
der the commissions jurisdiction. How
ever. in the event that there is unani
nous consent of growers and gin owners
at any particular place that the oper-
alton of a gin is not necessary or will
be improbable the commission. upon
a showing to that effect, will consent
to its abandonment.

revenue. BY such course, adequate
revenue could be raised without any
general raise in tax rates.
Instead of doing this, the one con-
trolling policy has been TO keep the
committee In session that individual
majority members might get through
bills holsting the traffic on products

tricts. and there Is no visible sign OF
relief from such policy.
