AL JOLSON AND "GUS"

The fact that Al Jolson has always
mpersonated the character of Gus
IN winter Garden extravaganza in
which he has appeared. is not, as
might be supposed. anything new in
the drama In our fathers time the
famous German dialect comedian,
J. K Emmett. appeared so often as
Fritz that he finally won the soubri-
luet Of Fritz Emmett. Weber and
Fields have carried out a like policy
during their career on the stage
since Joe Weber is always Mike
and Lew Fields always Meyer. 1t
has even been said by a wag that
John Drew has employed a like
policy. tnsomuch as John Drew is
always John Drew.
Al Jolson got the name of Gus by
accident. When he Joined the Win
ter Garden In 1911 to appear in La
Belle Paree." he discovered that the
character. provided him by the au-
thor was Erastus Sparkler. During
. performance one of the other
members of the cast forgot his name
and called him Gus. and Gus he has
remained ever since. in The Honey

 The National Coal association has been at all times since it's organization ready to cooperate with any agency of the government. All it's records were in1- mediately placed at the disposal of the any compulsion in accordance with the offer made the Calder committee last summer by Colonel Wentz, president of the association.
 Newspaper statements that theree might be found evidence of price-fiXing or other illegal activities on the part of the associa tion are unwarranted. It is well known that, by charter limitation, the association is prohibited from hay ing to do with the prices at which it's mem bers sell their coal Coal companies are members only on condition that the association observe this charter limitation strictly. It has always observed this limitation with entire faithfulness.
 We are really gratified at the opportu- lnity now presented to convince the cont mittee of the entire propriety of the as- sociation's activities and to present n- formation which we have all along eX- pected to give in public hearings before the committed.

 FOR CIDER RULING

Washington, December 23.-(Special.) ) Prohibitionists in Congress. and leaders of the Anti-Saloon league have handled Attorney General Palmer without gloves since the rendering of his opinion that one might possess cider which after fermentation develops more than one- half of l per cent alcohol.
 The Attorney General declares that it was his purpose to state plainly that in his opinion, if citizen made sweet cider and stored it. and it fermented to the point that the alcoholic contents were greater than one-half of 1 per cent, that it would not be incumbent on him to pour it out of his window.
 Prominent officials of the Anti -Sa- loon league and some of the prohibit tionists in Congress, asked direct how a citizen, embarrassed by finding his sweet cider, which he had produced in good faith fermented, should conduct himself in accordance to law, promptly replied: He should pour it upon tho ground"

TROOPS REMAIN TILL
 AFTER INAUGURATION

Washington, December 2S.-(Special) There is no authorization of report that United States troops stationed in Germany will be withdrawn prior to the inauguration of President elect Harding. Major General Allen, in com mand of troops in Germany, denies the report.
 At the same time the maintenance of the army on the Rhine constitutes a terrific drain on the American treasury. While Germany is bound to pay the ex- pense of such maintenance, Germany is not doing so, cannot do so. it is argued. It is also said that Germany will never be in position to pay it's daily increas- ing debt.
 It is officially announced that from December l, 1918 to June 30. 1920, it has cost $257,o65, 900 to maintain the American army in Germany. The month ly cost has averaged S13,000, GOO
 Germany had paid up to June 30, 1920 S54,724,65S. This amount includes credits for sales of German property and goods requisitioned by the troops.

SUPREME JUSTICES EMBARRASSED BY
 RETIREMENT TALK
Dry Forces Vigorous h. Attack on Palmer for His Rul- ing About Hard

By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald,
 500 Davidson BuiIdin


 Washington. December 23.--(SpeciaL) The four justices of the supreme court regarding the retirement of whom there has been discussion. are greatly embar- rassed. They do not want to take ad- vantage of their right to retire if they so desire. But to state such fact would embarrass the republicans, and espe- cially Senator Penrose, the political leader of the republicans. who depends on President-elect Harding to appoint "safe and conservative" men in their places.
 One of the justices, 1t leaks out, in answering letter of a solicitous friend who had heard the report of the possi- ble retirements, declared. that the mis- sive should have been addressed to his undertaken. This was taken to mean that the justice in question contem- plates "shuffling off" in harness.
 The man who so directly expressed himself was not Chief Justice White. It is said on excellent authority that he will not retire unless his eyes, with which he has had much trouble, make retirement necessary.
 This situation is keenly observed by both the progressive and stand-pat wings of the republican party In the event of retirements. the progressive will insist on the appointment of pro gressives" of the Justice Brandeis type. The conservatives will demand men who will be conservative in their inter- pretation of the law.

 The Senate committee on immigration has entered upon extensive hearings regarding the bill.
