Passion Is Playing to Big
 Crowds at Trianon Theatre

dramatic spectacle is the storming of a mammoth barricaded prison by a mob of 5000 impassioned citizens, all of which becomes doubly impressive and realistic through the stereoscopic character of the new photography that so often makes the Illusion difficult. By this system are picturized not only shadows and reflec- tions, but bodies and scenes which seem endowed with their true dimensions, it is said This feature within itself should mark distinct novelty which will arouse wide interest, since the progress of the cinema development is being so closely watched by interested millions of devotees
 The cast in Passion" is headed by Fola Negri, the famous Continental star, and her portrayal of the leading char acter is said to set a new high mark in motion picture artistry.

The most recent of super-film plays, Passion" is playing to large crowds at the Trianon. This big production is said to mark a new epoch in motion pictures, Passion" is an intimate version of the story of little French milliner who rose to position commanding a king and affecting the destinies of a nation
 It is presented as an Associated First National attraction and it comes to this city with an actual record for establish ing new ideals in screen production
 Aside from it's reputed new technical perfections there is a depth of panoramic perspective hitherto unknown to the sil- versheet and instanced by the passion of huge mobs rising in their might to overthrow the mighty and of which there have been plenty of demonstrations late- ly in the form of strikes and rebellions.

NO IMMIGRATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 MADE BY HUGHES
Ry Associated Press

Washington, April 20.--A formal state ment issued today by the state depart ment said that Secretary Hugkes "did any recommendations whatever regarding immigration in transmitting to congress reports from American government agents abroad dealing with the movement of emicrants to the United States
 It was stated in an Associated Press dispatch last night that MT. Hughes had made such a recommendation and he also was quoted as saying that "our re- striction on immigration should be so rigid that it would be impossible for most of these people to enter the United States" reference being made especial ly to Armenians, Jews, Persians and Russians"
 As a matter of fact that quotation ap- peared in a paraphrase in a letter from the American consul at Tiflis relating to people in that district which was among a number of similar reports transmitted to the House and Senate immigration committees by MT. Hughes after Chair man Johnson, of the House committee, had asked for information on the sub- ject.
 Publication of extracts from the gov ernment reports was the subject of dis cussion today in the house. Representa- tive Chandler, republican, New York, who formerly was counsel in the United States for Letvia and Lithuania took ex- ception to an official government report which said that Letts and l.ithuanians seeking to leave for the United States were largely people from the slums, the vast majority of them Jews of the un- desirable type" He declared that who- ever made that report communicated to this government that which is abso- lutely false.'
 q do not believe that Mir. Hughes au- thorized this or any similar report, said MT. Chandler. "It came from abroad MT. Hughes is too big and noble brained to consent to anything of that kind"

NO SETTLEMENT OF
 STRIKE THIS WEEK
Both Sides, However, Show De- sire to Get Together If
 Negotiable Basis Found
By Associated Press

Lcndon, April 20-It is virtually certain there will be no settlement ot the coal strike before next week. The miners federation has decided that the new proposals made public by the own CTS are too vague to afford Basis fol negotiations.
 Both sides, however, continue to dis play a desire to get together if ne- gctiable basis can be found. and should Frank Hodges. secretary of the miners union, succeed in the admitted ly hard task of swinging the dele gates conference Friday to his side, it is believed that another joint confer ence will assemble, possibly Monday
 The statement of the miners fedora tion regarding the proposals issued last night by the owners, says they are vague and meaningless, and in the main merely reformulate previous off, fers."
 The federation adds that its own proposals are perfectly clear--a na- tional wage board with a national ton mage levy to enable the poorer pits to pay the rates of wages agreen upon out Of funds contributed through the levy by the miners and mine owners
 In the event of a new conference this point will be thoroughly discussed. It involves neither state control nor state subsidy. Meetings of the Welsh miners are being held in protest against any compromise on the origi- nal demands, but it is considered doubtful if the conference of dele gates will insist upon the resignation of MT. Hodges who indirectly was the excuse of the withdrawal of the rail- way men and transport workers from their threatened strike. Both sides in the dispute are still issuing statements justifying their opposition, which will have the effect of clearing the air for future negotiations.
 An appeal signed by a number of leading bishops and Noncopforrnist clergy, including the Rev. Reginald J.. Campbell, former pastor of City tem= pie; Right Rev, Alfred Clifford. Dr. Robert F. Horton and Rev Frederick B. Meyers, has been made public, urg- ing dispassionate consideration of the miners demands for fair wage on the basis of the tonnage levy proposed by the miners federation.
 The government has taken new steps to alleviate Is far as possible the dif-s ficulties of the poorer classes in ob- taining allowances of coal without waiting in line, and also to establish emergency public kitchens, as was done during the war.

CAPTAIN I. w. NIC0L
 IS DEAD AT MOBILE

Montgomery. April 20.-(SpeciaD D-Mem- bers of the public service commission were shocked Wednesday by telegram announcing the death at Mobile of Capt. T. w. Nicol who had been engineer of the commission for the past six years.
 Captain Nicol had been in excellent health, although more than 70 years old, and only last week completed an ex- haustive study and report on the condi- tion and value of the water department of the Sheffield company. which supplies consumers at Sheffield and Tuscumbia-
 B, H. Cooper and s. P. Gaillard, as- sociate commissioners who had served on the commission throughout the time of Captain Nicofs service. said he had been found competent in every trust assigned him and that no more faithful employe of the state government could be found.

ly gripping and staged in such a man ner as to make the production a ,nota- ble one, but the conclusion of the courtroom scene carries the story to a dramatic height that makes it an ex- traordinary production.
 "The Oath" is an adaptation of Idols, the novel by William J. Locke, but even those who have read the story will not fail to be thrilled by the scene in which Hugh Colman Is changed in public opinion from a murderer into an extremely quixotic lover. The thrill of seeing it enacted is far more impressive than that which could ever come from the printed page.
 The actors who portray the story compose the finest cast yet seen in a motion picture production. Miriam Cooper has the leading feminine role of Minna Hart and never has she done better work before the camera Con way Tearle plays Hugh Colman, Henry Clive<is cast as Gerard Merriam, and Anna O.. Nilsson gives a most pleas ing and convincing portrayal of the difficult role of Irene Lansing.
 MT. Walsh has given the talented direction and settings that make The Oath one of the big motion picture productions of all times

Stretching Out the "Cane Fruit
Season
To enjoy the "Cane Fruits" through
ries and dewberries should be planted
in addition to raspberries.
In general they require the same
culture as that given raspberries;
but, if there is any choice in soils,
the blackberries and dewberries may
be given drier and sander soil than
the raspberries; and they require
little more room in which to develop.
They may be set from one to two feet
farther apart each way than the rasp-
berries. EldOrado, Snyder and Merser-
eau are three of the best of the black
berries; and Lucretia is the standard
sort of dewberries, the latter ripen
earlier than the blackberries.
A few dozen plants of the various
cane fruits; involving only a small
will give an abundant
supply of delicious berries over a sea-
son of several weeks, year after year
and, if taken care of, will occupy a
,ery little space in the home garden.
