Nazimova, as Sigrid Fersen, the
dancer in stronger Than Death,
rises to new heights of character
delineation. Her portrayal of the
part is totally devoid of accentuated
mannerisms, ill-judged emotionalism
or misconceived repression. 1t is a
gem of faithful. colorful. command

sonality. AS much may be said also
of the exceptional studies contri-
buted to the ensemble by Charles

James Barclay, the half-caste ma

The narrative is one of tremendous
power and immediate appeal, COM

romance that is as picturesque as

Crandail's Eve in Exile.-


The Elimination OF Eve in Exile. -
Cosmo Hamilton's vivid work al
ready familiar to the public as a
novel and as a play, was presented
for the first time in Washington at
Crandalrs Theater yesterday. with
Charlotte Walker. the Capitals fa-
vorite star, in the title role. Like
all of Mr.. Hamilton's contributions
to the screen. this subject is no.
table for the dramatic power which
it reveals. for the daring which
characteriZes many of its situations
and for the eXpertness with which
the various figures in the narrative
have been differentiated. Thomas
ISantschi, M b o Mcdowell
Wheeler Oakman. Violet Palmer and
Martha MattoN are conspicuously
cast in the stars support.
Miss Walker has never been
screened in a more delightful role
than that of Eve Ricardo, who.
through force of circumstances. is
compelled to abandon her triumph
ant social career and accept exile
in remote settlement in the Ar
gentine. Here she encounters a So
cial type with which she has not
before been familiar and the con-
sequent complications provide a de-
gree of forceful conflict, such as
few silent dramas have developed.
There are humor. romance and mel
odrama in the episodes that lead to
the final, crashing climax of one of
the most interesting stories cur
rently upon the silver sheets.

Garden-.HuckIeberry Finn

Any person, whether his brow be
high or low. who cannot enjoy
Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn
is to be pitied. The same holds for
folks who cannot get an evening of
unadulterated pleasure out of the
photodramatic version of this i'm
mortal work which opened a week &
engagement at Moore's Garden
Theater yesterday.
The spirit of the famous humor-
list and OF his lovable boy here has
been thoroughly maintained in the
photoplay. Not only has the de-
lightful story of Huck and his ad-
ventures been portrayed sympathe-
tically and with appropriate atmos-
phere, but the very spirit OF the
narrative and its gifted author
Nlives upon the screen. The ad-
ventures of Huck are accurately
followed from the time when he
and Tom discover the treasure IN
the cave until they return to their
native village, sadder and wiser,
but none the less still regular
boys"
The exploits of Huck are too
well known to relate in detail here.
Huck and the pirate gang. the slave
Jim, Aunt Polly and the Widow
Douglas, the king and the
Duke" Huck's no-account father
all are portrayed in the picture
with a skill and an understanding
that takes one back again to the
''befo' ae wah" days in the Missis-
sippi Valley. The Mark Twain at
mosphere is there, even ii the sub
titles.
An excellent cast depict the
story. Young Lewis Sargent, who
plays the leading role of Huck, is
more than all boy" The same
goes for Gordon Griffith's interpre-
tstion of Tom Sawyer. William d.
Taylor shows himself a specialist
in bringing to screen life this au-
thor's book characters.

FREE OIL co. ACQUIRES
/ VALUABLE PROPERTY

What is known as the old Witter
property on the southwest corner of
North Court and North Friendship
streets, which for the past few years
has been in the possession Of the Cleve
land Southwestern & Columbus r. r.
Co., was transferred to the Free Oil
Co. Of Medina on Wednesday of this
week, the consideration being $500.
The local company has had and OPP
tion on the property for some time,
but the sale was held UP because of a
clause in the option to which the rail-
road company objected. The clause
referred to gave the right to the Free
Oil Co.lto install filling station on
the corner facing the two streets. The
railroad company finally accepted the
clause and the transfer was promptly
made. r. @
tits the intention of the Free Oil
Co., say the officers to retain the
present location Of their office and
station on the Yocum property on
South Elmwood street, but to erect a
filling station on the newly acquired
property sometime the coming spring.
Concerning the old dwelling on the
North Court street property, it is
probable this will be offered for sale,
it is stated.

DIPHTHERIA BACILLUS
PACED AT, LITCHFIELD

What may have been the source of
many diphtheria cases in Litchfeld
township is believed to have been 10
Gated and properly treated, and the
occasion for any further anxiety with
this regard removed.
The early part Of last week Coun-
ty Nurse Hanna cultured" about
thirty different persons in Litchiield
Center to ascertain il possible if
there were any there who are classed
by the medical profession as carriers.
Such ones, while not having the dis
ease themselves, are so constituted
that they may at the same time have
in their throats the diphtheria bacil-
lus.
Of the thirty persons examined
only one disclosed a positive culture,
that one being Mrs. Ida Baisch, wife
of William Baisch, who conducts a
meat market and bakery at Itch
field, and reside in rooms above the
store.
The character Of the culture was
determined by state chemists at Co.
lumbus, notification of which was re-
ceived by County Nurse Hanna on
Friday. Mrs. Baisch was immedi-
ately quarantined at the home of her
mother, mile east of Litchfeld,
while Mr.. Baisch and the store under
went a thorough fumigation, and
County Nurse Hanna and the health
authorities pronounce conditions with
respect to the above named persons
and locality as being entirely free now
from contagion.

MEDINA MAN IN AUTO
WRECK NEAR SEVILLE

An automobile collision occurred
last Friday night about mile and q
half northeast of Seville, resulting in
considerable damage to both ma
chimes, but without injury to the oc-
cupants of either car.
The car going east was driven by
III. G. Brunskill of Medina, director
of the federal Cost Account Circle,
Department of Agriculture. who was
on his was to Barberton. The driver
Of the other car gave his name as HI.
Cadden, 796 South Main street, Ak
ron With the latter were two COM
panions, whose names were not as
certained.
According to Mr.. Brunskill, he was
driving on the right side Of the road,
and as the other car approached he
even turned out little further. AS
he did SO, Brunskill states, the driver
Of the other machine swerved it di-
rectly in the path of Brunskil,s ma
chine, and the collision was inevitable.
The wheels Of both cars locked, one
on Cadden's car being completely
shattered and the fender smashed,
while the wheels of Brunskill's ca.<s
while not broken, were forced well
back by the bending Of the axle, the
fender also being crushed out of
shape. Both cars were out of com
mission.
Brunskill declares that the occu-
pants Of the other car were under the
influence Of liquor.

MOMENTOUS TIME AT
WEYMOUTH ON XMAS

Perhaps at no previous holiday sea-
son have the people of Weymouth en-
joyed more delightful public SER
vice than the ones given at their
church on Thursday night of last week
and on Sunday night.
p, On the former occasion a huge
Christmas tree adorned the auditori-
um and was loaded with presents and
treats. There was singing and speak
ing, and the program from bepinning
to end was excellent.
The entertainment was due to the
joint efforts of the church and teachers
of the school, upon whom is reflected
much credit for the success Of their
combined ingenuity and labor.
On Sunday evening the choir of St.
Paul's church of Medina gave a concert
the quality Of which requires nc
special mention. The work Of these
talented musicians is always good.
Rev. r. K. Caulk, rector of St.
PauPs, who has conducted a religious
service at the Weymouth church every
Sunday night for a long time, was
generously remembered by the Wey-
mouth church people, with substan-
tial sum Of money and an ample load
ofprovisions. ..
There was a large attendance on
both evenings.

Financial reports, as well as copy
Of auto registrations, are supposed to
he sent to county auditors monthly, but
for some time this rule has not been
observed. The delay, specially with
reference to the registrations lis a
source Of great inconvenience to many
citizens Of the county, who are fre-
quently compelled to consult them, and
County Auditor Washburn recently
filed complaint with State Registrar
A. G. Snow. The latter offered the
explanation that the delay had been
caused through contest Of validity of
the automobile law, by which the work
Of his department had become clogged.
After the present month, according to
Snow, there will be no further delay.

WAR BETWEEN MILK
COMPANIES RUMOREO
BELLE-vERNON SAID TO
WANT HIDE OF N. o. M. p. A.
Reported Plan to Smash Organization
BY Refusal to Buy Product Belle
Vernon Invading Other Fields for
Their Supply.

Has the Belle-Vernon Co., of Cleve-
land, the largest milk buyers in this
section OF the country, declared war
on members of the Northern Ohio Milk
Producers Association? And if so,
will they be able to accomplish the
fulhllment of f>their plans, which calls
for the Ultimate smashing of this or
ganlzation of milk producers by no
less effective method than refusal to
buy their product?
These two questions have been both
ering several Medina county producers
according to one large milk dealer,w who
processes to a disposition to believe
that the reports Of restricted buying
are part of a well-laid plan and not
wholly through lack of demand.
During the past two years the men,
bership if the Northern Ohio Milk
Producers Association has increased
to such an extent that they were able
to meet the Belle-Vernon Co., on a
$3.50 basis, when it came to fixing
wholesale milk prices from month to
month. At the same time there has
been shortage Of milk during most
If not all of this time, and any surplus
was Immediately absorbed by several
large condensories. Due probably 10
this combination Of circumstances the
members of the milk association have
received a higher price for their pro-
duct than producers in the Pittsburgh
district or even those in the Columbus
area
According to the story, all is now to
undergo a change. No milk is being
used at the condensories, and the
elle-Vernon Co. is reported to be
reaching new fields of supply along
the Lake Shore out of Cleveland, and
even by going deep into the Pittsburgh
area. As the supply is increased
there, the demand will be decreased
here. #5
What effect this policy, if pursued
for any length Of time, will have or
the local producers is a matter of con-
lecture, and will probably be strenu-
ously contested by the milk producers
association. ~

time past, the Medina County Cream

14TH DISTRICT MAY ~
LOSE SUMMIT COUNTY

If Ohio's Congressional representa-
ton is increased, which now seems
likely from discussion in the lower
house the past week favorable to the
plan, it would not be surprising if the
fourteenth district, comprising Me-
dina, Summit, Lorain and Portage
counties, was divided.
The fourteenth district, now repre-
sented by Martin l.. Davey, Democrat,
is said to be the most populous district
in the United States, and Summit
County, containing Akron and suburbs
is populous enough to comprise dis
trict in itself.
Changes in several other districts of
Ohio were also discussed, the princi-
pal one, however, if any are made, be-
ing in Cuyahoga county, which now,
with Geauga county, comprises three
complete districts. Cleveland's sub
stantial growth during the past decade
entities the city to another representa-
tive, at least, and a complete rear
rangenment of all the present district
boundaries is regarded as certainty.

COSTS go CENTS TO
GO TO CLEVELAND NOW

Beginning last Sunday morning a
further increase Of 4 cents was added
to the interurban fare from Medina to
Cleveland. This latest addition, to-
gether with an additional cent for war
tax, brings the fare to 80 cents.
No part Of the increase goes to the
railroad company, however, says
Agent James Newton, but is gobbled
up by the city transportation compan-
les. The latter have always combat
ted the entrance into the downtown
district of the interurbanflines, claim
ing that they interfered with the city
car traffic, and it is believed by many
that the arbitrary additions to urban
fares is done forno other purpose than
to discourage traffic from that source.

GOVERNOR HOLDS
Up RE.APPRAISAL
PROPOSED MEASURE
WIDELY PROTESTED
Meetings to Be Held Throughout the
State to Give People Opportunity
to Gain Full information of the
Plan.

The resolution passed by the Cen
eral Assembly on Nov. "a, for the re-
appraisal of real estate in sixty-one
counties Of Ohio, including Medina
county, aroused such storm Of pro-
test among farmers organizations
and in the rural communities affected
that Gov. Cox has asked the Assembly
to- withhold the final order to reap
praise until the State Tax Commits
sion makes re-survey of land values
in the disputed counties, and to afford
full opportunity for taxpayers, pub
lie bodies and all interested parties
to be heard.
Gov. Cox suggested that several
days be devoted to such hearings, s,and
that notice be communicated through
the public press in such a way that
the citizens generally may have full
information thereof, and may be able
to avail themselves of the opportunity
afforded. .....
The resolution passed by the As
sembly Nov. "a, recited that, in the
counties in which reappraisal was
ordered, real estate was on the tax
duplicate at as low as 1876 per cent.
of it's true value in money, and that
in many of these counties there had
been no reappraisal since 1910.
In his letter to the commission Gov.
Cox, recommending that re-survey
be made, calls attention to the fact
that "the data on which the commits
sion acted was accumulated from a
study of conditions as they existed in
1912.
1T is a matter of common knowl-
edge," the letter says, "that in no year
in the history of the state have values
manifested such a lack of stability as
they have during the past twelve
months.
"Might it not be desirable in view
of this to cause a re-survey to be-
made before taking definite and final
action in the issuance Of the order OF
re-appraisment?" ..
Should the commission adopt the
suggestion of postponement of final
action until re-survey, based upon
public hearing, could be made, the
question will probably 60 over until
the new administration comes into
power.
Since the above was written the
Ohio Tax Commission has amended its
resolution of Nov. "a ordering a re-
appraisal in sixty-one counties, by
striking Jackson county from the list,
and assigned the resolution for fur
ther action on Feb. l. The commission
provided that the week of Jan. II be
set aside "for the purpose Of open
hearing to all persons either in favor
Of Or opposed to such reappraisment.
