Believe PEACE IS NEAR
IN NONPARTlSAN RANKS
Attorney General lem!<e Urges With.
drawal Of Libel Charges
Against Editor

Fnrgu.-Peace In the ranks OF the
Nonpartisan league leaders appears
nearer. following q conference between
Attorney General William l.emke and
the state executive committee.
Mr.. Lemke is understood TO have ad.
vocated withdrawal OF the charges OF
criminal libel filed last week against
George A. Totten and c. X. GUNNER.
son. former business manager and
editor. respectively. OF the Fargo
Courier-News. league newspaper
providing the defendants apologize and
withdraw their charges that the
leagues $4,000 recall election fund
has been mishandled by the committee
1t was learned Monday night that
Walter Maddox. director of the com
mittees publications. conferred SAtur.
day with Totten and Gummerson. Mr..
Maddox said the committee probably
would have an announcement to make
following its regular session.
The only point at issue. members Of
the committee have indicated. is
whether the charges shall be with.
drawn in event retraction is offered.
or whether they shalt be pushed IA
trial. Chairman A. A. l.iederbach.
treasurer Ole kalder and Chris Levang
favored pressing the court action. but
the conference with the attorney gen
eral. it is believed. may have changed
their attitude.
Notice to this effect had been given
to the league. The latter statement
developed the fact that Lord Curzon,
secretary for foreign affairs. and
Baron Hayashi. the Japanese ambas'
sador at London. had signed on July
:, new joint note to the league.

There was much excitement through

eral persons however, had to be taken
to hospitals for treatment Of injuries
from assaults other than shooting.
In the extent Of material damage to
property. Sundays rioting here can be
compared to that during the Dublin
rising Of 1916. The fierce and savage
spirit animated the factions all day
and evening and large areas Of the
city were swept by rifle, revolver and
machine gun fire.
Special Ulster policemen declined
to continue on street duty, as they
have been denied permission to carry
arms.

Washington. - The suggestion OF
President Harding looking to differ.
ent conference at Washington was ex-
pected by officials here to meet Il
ready response from the capitals Of
the powers concerned. The probable
attitude Of the powers toward such a
proposal, 1t was said. was sounded in
advance through American embassies
and legislations abroad and impression
was gained that replies to formal in
vitations to such q conference would
prove favorable.
Tending to confirm this belief. in
the opinion Of officials, was the state
ment Of Premier Lloyd George in the
house Of commons welcoming the mi.
tiaiive Of President Harding in the
matter.
In he preliminary questioning
through American representatives
abroad 1t is understood that the Far
Eastern question was mentioned to
ascertain if this would be- considered
as proper subject for discussion in
connection with consideration Of dis.
armament.
Scope Undecided.
1t has been indicated that as a result
the impression was given that this
question would he treated prominently
in the conference program.
The scope Of the proposed confer.
enre. however. is understood not ia
have been definitely determined while
the details of organization will be left
until formal acceptanceS to the invita-
lions have been received. In this con.
nection. 1t was said that before the
conference actually meets there may
be some defitStioA If the subjects ia
be considered aud an understanding
given Of what the powers consider
their special interests.
No Date Set.
No date for the gathering has We,
been set. nor has the American repre-
sentation to the conference been de-
termined, although it is believed tina,
Secretary Hughes may head the Amer.
lean delegation. Whether any deci.
sions reached will require special
treaties or other forms Of agreement
is IL subject which officials have indi.
Gated is too early for discussion.

by Ray. Is ono OF the most fAscinat-

# the development OF the plot. Most
Of Steels troubles come from re-
strictions sick mother places on
him. The mother cannot appre-
ciate that her only boy has grown
into mans estate. The promise ex-
acted from him that he will never
again indulge in his fondness for
boxing, gains him the contempt Of
his fellow workers and later causes
his girl to believe that he is a coward
The pitiful position in which he
finds himself after losing his job
and afraid to tell his mother that
there is not more money coming in,
the opportunity that Is held out to
him, his pitifully inadequate prep
aration for the battle that is TO win
him the money necessary to restore
his mother to health, all excel any
thing in the line OF pathos that has
been included in screen entertain
ment for some time. Then the big
scenes OF the fight furnish thrills

comes the surprise ending Of the

AT TIE ARCADIA.

New York is the setting for prac-
ticaliy all Of Ethel Clayton's picture
Wealth" which is now at the
Arcadia Theatre. The famous
Greenwich Village section and the
more exclusive circles OF the -four
hundred" are the main background.
Miss Clayton is seen as Mary Nc
Leod. an artist Of Greenwich Village
who married the parasitical son Of
a New York widow. What seemed
a life Of ease and luxury turned into
unhappiEess and an almost perfect
romance seems in danger Of becom-
ing spoiled.
Wealth" Is an all-American pic
ture. It's star is about as perfect a
specimen Of American young wo-
manhood as one can find. She is in
dependent and resourceful and yet
she has all the requirements for a
perfect wife.
The character OF Mary Mcleod is
worthy Of such a good star as Ethel
Clayton and the two mutually help
TO make Wealth" intensely inter-
esting.
The stars supporting cast is head
ed by the handsome Herbert Raw
linson. He has just recently been
elevated to stardom. Claire Nc
Dowen who had the mother role in
"Mother O'Mine." has another YER
sion Of the same character in

AT THE QUEEN.

A real all-star aggregation Of play
ers appears in "Bunty Pulls the
Strings" now at the Queen Theatre.
The members of the cast have been
chosen from the best who appear
under the Goldwyn banner. The
three principal roles are offered by
Raymond Hatton as "Weelum,"
Leatrice Joy as "Bunty' and Rus
sell Simpson as TAM" the father.
"Bunty Pulls the Strings" is
Scotch story-a love story. So care
fully has the picture been staged
Can entire Scotch village having
been constructed especially for it in
California; that one can readily
imagine himself glimpsing actual
happenings in Bonnie Scotland. 1t
is the tale of canny Scotch girl
whose ready wit and willingness to
sacrifice her own happiness TO get
her family out Of financial difficult
ties provided Miss Leatrice Joy with
an opportunity she makes the most
OF TO display her beauty and her
talents.
"Bunty Pulls the Strings" Is the
perturbation OF the famous stage
success Of like title. It is as warm
and as invigorating as a nip OF rare
old Scotch.
The engagement at the Queen is
for the rest of this week.

Ar rHE PLAYHoUsE.

Commencing Labor Day. welsh
Brothers will present at the Play
house their picturization Of Harriet
Beecher Stoves "Uncle Toms
Cabin"
In view OF the fact that pracd-
cally every man, woman and child
has some time in his or her life
read this tale. the picture should
find a hearty reception. This pic
turization is said TO be. by far, the
finest ever made from the story. II
revives the old memories Of Uncle
Tom with his kindness and good
ness and his great suffering. II
brings back the angelic innocence
of Little Eva-the wit and the humor
OF the black Topsy and the cruelty
Of Simon Legree. All these char
acters made so vividly by Mrs. Stowe
take flesh and blood rorm in this
picture.
The settings are in and around
the South-the very locale where the
story is laid.
The plot develops into a good.
strong drama and fully brings out
all the fine points OF the original
story. None Of the force and inter-
est Of the book have been lost by its
translation to the screen. On the
contrary much has been made bet
ter.
