De Cordova CIew Fails
Brooklyn Woman Says Ceissler
Was Not Her Husband

Belief of the New London Conn.,, po.
lice that Bernard Geissler, who mur-
dered Mrs. Arthur de Cordova and then
killed himself, had another wife living
in Brooklyn was shattered yesterday by
Mrs. Edward Geissler, who is living
under her maiden name. Rose Blaseh,
at 80 Gerry Street, Brooklyn.
A detective from New London yes
terday brought picture OF Geissler to
Mrs. Blasch's home. She Immediately
said that it was not her husband. She
explained that in 1913 she was married
to Edward Geissler, who sometimes used
the alias Edward Bernard. When she
saw the name of De Cordova's chauf-
feur in the papers, she thought II
might be her husband who deserted
her FIVE years ago.

sioner of Accounts, and Leo x. Mayer,
counsel to the committee, agreed with
Mr.. Hilly on this point.
Mr.. Mayer said the committee op-
posed special session for fear there
would be temptation to tamper with
the rent laws as they exist. While the
present laws may not be all that is de-
sired, he said, the committee believed
in leaving we'll enough alone. The
Borough Presidents suggestion had
nothing to do with the rent laws, but
was made that enabling legislation
might be obtained to permit the city
to construct and rent dwelling houses.

he was wiser than all the Congress
sional leaders who sought to obstruct
him?
Wilson may fail as completely as
Lincoln did with reconstruction, in
the sense that his program may be
as fully nullified by the Coordinate
branch" But if anything in the fu-
lure can be forecast with confidence,
this can bs--that in the event of the
destruction by the Senate of Wilson's
reconstruction program for the world,
embodied in the League of Nations,
the attempts to find satisfactory
substitute for it will impress pos
terity as futile and blighting to the
point of ghastliness and horror.

Parallel Between Lincoln and Wilson Drawn
From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

There are people still living in
America who believe that Woodrow
Wilson will pass into history as
great man. One of them, living in
Ohio, reminds us in a private letter
of the following anecdote of Lincoln:
when Lincoln was in his last
years service to the nation, Thaddeus
Stevens introduced a friend of his.
in jeering manner, to the only friend
of the president of the House, and
everybody enjoyed the great leaders
thrust"
So it is nothing now for presi-
dent, even a war president, to en-
counter the bitterest antagonism in
Congress. Even Lincoln. in the last
year of his life, had almost no friends
in the House if this Stevens story
be accepted at its face value.
Republicans Fought Lincoln.
What Stevens is reported to have
said was in large measure true. The
more powerful Republican leaders in
Congress we're at swords points with
the president as early as 1854 on the
question of the reconstruction Of the
Southern States conquered from the
Confederacy. Henry Winter Davis of

THE RIGHT OF WAY, PARKER'S B|G STORY, IS PLAY AT STRAND
Bert Lytell Has Leading Role in Perturbation of Thrilling Story of the
 Dominion of Canada

Standing out from the novels Of the last two decades is The Right of Way by Sir Gilbert Parker. one of the most dramatic stories ever written. 'The Right of Way has been pictur- ized and it will be the attraction at the Strand Theater for the last three days Of this week, beginning this morning.
 Few stories of this century have been so intensely interesting or found such q wide reading public, as this absorbing tale of Canada, the Canada of cities. bringing the great dominion to the north in new light sAll of the in- terest of the story has been intensified ir the dramatic and thrilling picturiza- tion of "The Right of Way"
 It is not melodrama in that it de- pends for it's interest solely upon tense situations, but "The Right of Way" is melodramatic in form. Climax after climax is piled up, tense situations fol- lows tense situation in rapid sequence, all leading up to a logical and striking conclusion.
 An excellent cast has been chosen for the portrayal of she famous story. Bert Lytell has the central role of -Beauty'' Steele, the brilliant but dissi- pated Montreal attorney. Few charac- terizations of recent years have aroused so much favorable comment from critics as the work of MT. Lytell in this difficult but striking role.

APPRECIATION OF
 A[L-STAR CONCERTS
Local Teacher Recommends Pupils to Hear Great
 Musicians in Concert

That the "All-Star Concerts" which F. Johnston and Mrs. Or1ine A. ship man are reaping the educa tional re- ward that has been included in their three-fold mission-civic, educational and entertainment-is plainly demon- strated by an appreciation Of the All Star Concerts" which comes from Miss Daisy Rowley. one of Birming nams 5 most prominent music teachers, in which she IS enthusiastic over the forthcoming concert to be given on Monday evening, April 12, and recom- mending all her large class of pupils to attend
 Among other things Miss Rowley says:
 With the anticipation of another de- lightful evening so near at hand when the 'All-Star Concerts will present Margaret Romaine, the young American prima donna of the Metropolitan opera and AngelG Cortess, premier harpist, l want to thank the management of the concerts both for myself and the stu dents of my school, all of whom at tended the opening concert for the great pleasure the Hempel concert gave us."
 There are few entertainments these Gays which one can conscientiously recommend to students of all ages and sexes. Our city is deeply indebted to you for the stand you have taken in re- gard to furnishing to the people of Bir- mingham susch a class of instructive and elevating entertainment and at your own financial risk, as you have booked for this season.
 The initial concert was truly a concert for the people for in the vast and discriminating audience almost every family in Greater Birmingham was represented. There were mer- chants laborers. music and literary students, teachers, butchers, bakers, bankers, artists politicians, lawyers, movie fans, Lyric and Bijou crowds, church crowds-yes. we were all there And the programme contained numbers classical enough for the most classical and simple enough for the laymen. As long as you hold to this splendid standard, l feel sure that the people of this great district will support you, offer you my sincere eongratplations and services"

Popular Star in Entirely New Role Coming to

At last Lewis J. Selznick has found great pleasure in portraying and in which the public will find new view of the popular star that is thoroughly enjoyable.
 As the fighting young engineer who was too much of a thoroughbred to live off his wife's income, MT O'Brien in His Wife's Money, which is to be shown at the Aloazar theatre all next week. will win new place in the screen world. For he likes this rugged role better than any in which he has ever played.

 Those who know Eugene O'Brien, Selzniek star. find in him one of the s'cred Ol ClTCuliS NdhSNs N''o seems to be constantly advertising himself to the general public as just the thing he actually is not. It is MT O,Brien's good fortune to be possessed of those personal charms that have made him a natural matinee idol and his bad fortune in that the same charms keep him almost entirely clear of the parts he most prefers. parts in which dress suits and flasl1y spor' clothes are not in evidence.
 Away from the atmosphere of the Motion picture studio OBrien is as far removed from the ma tinee idof' type as night is from day. He is hound for contact with the kind of life where dress suits are unknown. One of his favorite vacation tricks is to hie him self to the Maine woods, where he knows a lot of lumberjacks who are always glad to lend him an axe and let him share their fare at typical logging camp. To this little camp or Presque Isle. up near the Canadian border, MT 0Brien has been going of and on for years, and there he has be- come a mastet woodsman in every re spect powerful with the axe and pos sessed of sufficient endurance to last as long on any job as the most har- dened lumberjack.

 Fatty Arbuckle comedies always mean something different, something out of he ordinary run of screen entertainment. The Hayseed" is no exception to the
 ule All of the chubby comedians of ierings are good, some of them are just better than others, and The Hays.sd@ is one of the better type.G
 Fatty can never be anything but hsm- elf, but he can be himself in so many different ways he is each time with see,u- asly added humor Tn The Hayseed ne is at his best as the rural mail car aser who loves the widows daughter There is touch of melodrama introduced in the plot by the city sIicker who ap- pears on the scene with much money, ap- parently.
 However, he gets his money in devious ways, using Fatty as mark in one in stance by removing money from the nails. It looks bad for the hayseed for a time, but he wins out with the aid or a few onions and Buster Keaton luck Mollie Malone is the widows charming daughter.
 Twenty three and a Half Hours Leave is the comedy which set the country talking and was a triumph for those young stars, Douglas MaciAan and Doris May. It is a Mary Roberts Rhihehart story with laugh in almost exery foot of it. These two great fes.> ures nili be shown from today throusn Saturday only
