STEPS TAKEN TO HASTEN
FREIGHT CAR LOADING
Board of Trade Subcommittee
Likely to Cooperate With Rail-
roads in Emergency.

Acting on urgent appeals from rail-
road authorities in regard to the fail
ure of merchants to unload and load
their freight cars, Capt. James F..
oyster. president of the Washington
Board of Trade, yesterday instructed
Charles w. Darr. chairman of the pub
lie utilities committee, to take irnme-
diate action toward cooperating with
the railroads in this emergency. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Darr probably will
today appoint a subcommittee to be-
gin an investigation and to report
on just what action the board will
be able to take.
1t is reported that a great MANY
of the local merchants have failed to
comply with the appeal of the freight
agent and that their goods are liable
to be embargoed. This step has been
taken in some districts in regard to
coal, but has never yet been made
applicable to other articles. 1t is
tated by railroad authorities that if
the merchants would unload and load
inside of twenty-four hours after the
pla cling of the cars, there would be no
tie-up and the cars now in use would
be sufficient to meet the demands of
the country

adding that approximately 500. 900 tons

Use of government vessels to move

amounted to competition with the rail-

THE WEST REVEALED

William Russell, the popular, ath-
letic actor, has a big, swift moving
outdoor drama in "Where the West
Begins" to be shown at the Royal
Theatre today. 1t is produced by
the William Russell Productions for
the American Film Company, Inc,
under the direction of Henry King
and distributed by Pathe.
"Where the West Begins" is a
wholesome comedy drama. In the
principal supporting roles with Mr..
Russell are Eileen Percy, j. Cullen
Lands, Frederick Vroom, Carl Stock
dale and Alfred Ferguson. The story
il, of an eastern lad, who is duly
shown by brisk Westerner, that life
is just what you make it. Russell
creates fully enough excitement for
the Fastener, to say the least.
The action of the story transpires
first in little OF Moo Yawk and later
in the great out-of-doors, the glorious
West. Mystery. adventure and ro-
three most essential ele-
ments when properly woven together.
And when the leading role played
by such an artist as William Russell
the result is an interesting and in
spring photoplay.

CROUCH AND READY"

"The picture that has everything"
is a fitting method of describing
William Farnum's newest example of
his art; TROUGH AND READY, a
de luxe production in which the noted
William Fox star does his strikingly
effective pantomimic work.
AS the title of the film indicates.
Mr.. Farnum has part of the virile,
vigorous kind in which he makes
such an inspiring presence. The
audience at the Lyric Theatre, where
TROUGH AND READY" was ex-
hibited yesterday for the first time,
showed that its affection for Mr..
Farnum in the role he filled in the
drama, has not diminished jot al
though this is the only Western" in
which he has been seen for some
time.
The play has an excellent support
ing cast, commendable direction by
Richard Stanton, beautiful natural
settings out-of doors as we'll as fine
interior views, and photography Of
sterling quality. ROUGH AND
READY" will continue at the lyric
today.
