MARION DAVIES
SINGS "FOLLO VINE"
WITH SHUT LIPS

An interesting incident occurred
during the filming of an exterior
scene of "The Belle of New York, y
which Select Pictures offers with Ma
rion Davies at the Royal Theatre to-
morrow.
Miss Davies takes the part of the
Salvation Army lassie who afterward
becomes the belle of New York,
made famous by Edna May in the
world famous musical play, "The
Belle of New York"
Miss Dawes put on her Salvation
Army costume at the studio, jumped
into her machine and was driven to
the location chosen. In the original
play Edna May had a song called
"Follow Me-" and when she sang it
everybody on the stage literally an
swered the calf and did as they were
told. When Miss Davies stepped out

school children, messenger boys, busi-
ness men, laborerss ladies and gen.
gentlemen of leisure-in fact, every
body within Seeing" distance, forgot,
for the time being, their Individual
occupations and just naturally fol-
lowed. Of course, to see Salvation
Army lassie step out of luxuriously
furnished machine and give instruc-
tions to her chauffeur may have had
some bearing on the matter, but the
exquisite loveliness of this young girl
dressed in a costume so becoming to
her that it would seem the original
designer must have visualized her as
a model when he created it, unques-
tionably was the magnet that drew
theem on and kept them there until
the scene was completed.

500 Accused of
Wo0llen H0arding

Hoarding Of woollens to boost clothing
prices is being practised by about five hun
dred small jobbers in the city, according
to Arthur Williams, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator. Mr.. Williams yesterday is
sued a warning TO the jobbers who may
be holding woollens to dispose of them
Immediately at fair prices. He declared
that boarding of this character will be
prosecuted by Ben A. Motthews, Assistant
United States Attorney
Mr.. Williams will hold a conference on
Wednesday with J. J. Nevins, secretary
of the American Woollen Manufacturers
Association. The individual stocks Of the
jobbers accused of boarding probably run
from ten to fifty bales of woollens each.
Mr.. Williams said. but the aggregate
amount of stock affected is large enough
to cause an advance of twenty-five per
cent in the prices of clothing if the hoard
ing is successful. The jobbers are taking
the course of holding back the woollens
from the manufacturers and reselling il
enough times to insure price advance.
Sugar is coming into the city in enough
quantities TO warrant its sale at sixteen
cents. Mr.. Williams said. 1t is being sold
at that price at many stores.
In response to requests of housewives,
the twenty-five navy food stations under
the supervision of Or. Jonathan G. Day
will sell eggs at three cents below retail
prices. DR.. Day said wholesale dealers
who had agreed to let him have the eggs
had advised him that they could sell an
unlimited supply. The eggs will be on sale
in few days.

GOVERNOR OBJECTS

Commissions.
Especial Despatch to The Herald J

fSpeCtuL DeSpOtCU 70 tHe HCTdtd.)
ALBANY, N. Y, MISUNDERSTANDING
Smith tonight in special message asked
the Legislature to vigorously oppose fed
eral interference" in State control of pub
lie utilities His opposition was directed
at the Curnmins-Esch bill, now in Cont
gress conference, providing for return Of
the railroads to private ownership, which
would give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission authority to review acts of the
State utilities commissions. Together
with his message. the Governor sent to
the Legislature letters Of protest from
Lewis Nixon, New York city Public Ser
vice commissioner, and Charles B. Hill,
chairman of the upstate Commission,
pointing out how the measure would cur
tail State rights
Both public service commissions" the
Governor wrote, believe that if the bin in
the form now before the conference COM
mittee should become law, it would seri-
ously interfere with State control through
our public service commissions of public
utilities in this State. From an examina-
tion of these communications I believe the
view of the commissions is we'll founded
do not think that the already difficult
task Of regulating and controlling public
utilities in this State should be made more
difficult by such federal interference as
might RESULT from the passage Of this bill
in Is present FORM
In his communica ton to the Govern or
pointing out the OBJECTIONABLE" provi-
SionS Of 1.-THE Cummins- Esch bill Commits
sioner Nixon said
| "Sbould the puhlic Seryice Commits son
for either district of the State of New
YORK make an order requiring a rail-
| road company to eliminate a grade cross
ing or establish safety devices thereat
the railroad company, under the law as
proposed, could appeal to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and that commits
sion could set aside the order of the
| State Commission. Even though the
order should not be set aside. the very
fact that the decision of the State Com
mission could be appealed to Washing
ton would delay for some time the e.
forcement of the order.
I'm the jurisdiction Of the commission
for the First District the grade crossing
question is one OF pressing Importance.
With the growth of automobile traffic in
the highways the existing grade crossings
are becoming more dangerous each year,
and this commission is annually asking
the Legislature to appropriate funds for
the States quota of the expenditure nee
essary to abolish grade crossings. with
the view of reducing the number Of these
danger points rapidly as possible
Should the Federal Commission be given
the power to review the action of the
State Commission and set aside its orders
it would be impossible for this commission
to continue the good work that it has done
for several years in making safe to the
public the highways which cross railroads
! at grades"
