amendment vesting the ownership
of the streets around Union Station

ington Terminal and Terminal Taxi
cab companies under control of the
Public Utilities Commission.
Money for BouIevards.
Mudd. OF Maryland. introduced an
amendment to provide S121,000 for
repairs to the Baltimore and Marl-
boro boulevards. Davis said he
wouldn't object to such improve
ments. but Sisson, of Mississippi,
and Blanton, of Texas, attacked the
measure.
Mudd raised a point of order
against the repeal of existing laws
by which garbage is hauled to the
outskirts of the city by contractors
and hauled from there by farmers
to feed to their hogs. Davis de-
clared that this law is imperative,
as the Commissioners have to pro-
vide for the disposal of agrbage, all
contractors having failed. The point
was sustained.
Johnson, of Kentucky, member of
the District committee, objected to
the item Of s2S,S80 for maintenance
of the highway bridge, claiming the
car companies should be made to
pay for the use of II.
For repairs to streets in the city

striking out, a number of items
amounting to S49S.C00. These re-

Portions of the seized documents
follow:
From reports Of comrades who
have arrived from America the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Communist
International has acquainted itself
with the open split between the two
American parties. This question has
been submitted to and considered by
the members of the executive COM
mittec together with representatives
of the American parties and the
other nationaIities. This split Is a
heavy blow to the movement: un-
precedented sacrifices must be made
by the American proletariat. The
question of tactics is the principal
source of disagreement, and this
split is. therefore, unjustified.
with the aim of bringing about
unification. the executive committee
of the Communist International
proposes an immediate joint con-
vention. whose decision shall be
binding on both parties
Policy Is Outlined.
The following matters are point
ed out to American comrades:
Il. The Communist party should
unite to seize power and to estab-
lish the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat. A determined struggle
should be made to overthrow the
power of the bourgeoisie. For this
aim all differences are inadmis-
sible.
THE complete break with the old
Socialist and Socialist Labor parties
is naturally a condition for the
creation of the American Communist
party.
Individual members or entire
groups of these can be received by
Communists when they come over
wholeheartedly. The Communist
party will be for them the best
school for communism.
The party must take into ac-
count the every day incidents of
the class war. The stage of verbal
propaganda and agitation has been
left behind. The time for decisive
battles has arrived. The most i'm
portant task confronting the Amer
lean Communists at the present mo-
ment is to draw the wide prole-
tartan masses into the path of rev.
olutiopary struggle. The party
must have (for its goal?) the dis
solution of the American Fedora
tion of Labor and other unions as
sociated with il and must strive
to establish the closest connections

Virgin OF Stamboul
AT Grand Thursday

1t is not often that a caloused re-
viewer isd riven to the use of super
latlves in commenting on photodrama
but after viewing 1.-THE Virgin of
Stamboul', which will be shown for
the first time here at the Grand The
atre Thursday night, it is found nee
essary to sound its praises in no un-
certain terms.
Priscilla Dean, who first flashed on
the film horizon with "The Wildcat
OF Paris" and established a distinct
personality on the screen, which was
followed by a half dozen other I'M,
portant productions but who has been
missing for some time from the silver
sheet, re-appears as the star of this
picturesque story of the East and
proves clear title to being classed as
one of the foremost players in the
silent drama. In the role of the lit
tie beggar on the streets of Stamboul,
untamed and unafraid, knowing moth
ing of right or wrong, but with nat
ural instincts that preserve her unde-
tiled amid the filth and squalor of her
surroundings, Miss Dean gives a char,
acterization that must be classed as a
MASTERPIECE.
Tod Browning who is credited with
the direction of this photodrama, has
obtained some remarkable effects. No
truer picture OF the Orient has ever
been seen on the screen. Its customs
and traditions, mixed with the mod
ernity of the western influence, form
a picturesque background for the &C
ton of the drama.
Some thousands of people partici-
pate in the drama, chief among whom
are Wheeler Oakman, as the Captain
of the Black Horse Troop; Wallace
Berry as the sheik; E. A. Warren as
the keeper of the bazaar; Edward
Burns as the American. Lothario; Eu-
genie Ford as the mother, and Ethel
Richie as the favorite of the harem.

THE MISSION OF THE FARM
BOREAU THAT MEETS TOMORROW

The meeting to be held here to-
morrow by and for Our city and
rural workers throughout the district,
IS of paramount interest and impor-
lance to the future development of
rural sections.
1t is within the province of organ
lied efforts by country and city or
CARNATIONS, to bring about a mutual
confidence between city and rural
peoples, to create spirit of cooper
alton for the mutual interests which
are so dependent on each other. Bus
mess interests OF rural community
are largely dependent upon the we'll
being OF its rural neighbors for their
own prosperity and for that reason
every movement which holds out adj
vantages to the farming community,
at the same ti1ne brings more assur-
ance OF future prosperity to the peo-
pie making up the trading center of
such farming sections.
No town can Give by ITSELF alone,
its main support comes from the
fields and for that reason every as
sistance should be given to whatever
organization may point a better way
for the farmers.
The Farm Bureau has within itself
means for cooperative action along
these lines for which farmers have
had most need; cooperative market
ing of their products. Whilst such
plans may seem to act adversely for
some town interests, still when viewed
from the broader standpoint of the
producer and the greater benefits de-
rived by him, thereby making him a
larger consumer of other products,
should not deter our town people
from giving the organization a full
and hearty cooperation.
1t is to the farmers, the towns owe
their prosperity and the business men,
the banker, the professional man and
all the rest of the forces engaged all
most solely in the non-productive en-
Payments should combine in making
the operations of our farmers more
stable and certain of market, ade-
quate and fair for all products of the
fields.
1t is only through such action that
our city and every other community
whose well fare rests upon the same
conditions may build upon solid
ground and carve out for itself greater
opportunities.

hicle for mutual advantages to town
