tress in the role of a Russian noble
woman who makes her escape across
Siberia into China when the revolu-
ton breaks out in her native land
Later she reaches America and mar

The settings for this colorful dra-
ma are said to be the most costly
and magnificent ever erected by Rea-

among them are exterior and inter
ior scenes showing a Chinese we'd
ding with its traditional rites and
procession, a famous Chinese caba-
rot the interior of a Chinese art

Brady has one of the most colorfuI
and appeaIing roles in which she has

SHIPPED FROM MONTICELLO

tby ANHOFsnIGS freHSi
Monticello, Dec. S-The first soliG
carload of pecans ever shipped from
Florida has been forwarded from
here to a st. Louis concern and grow
ers in this vicinity declare the ship
ment an epoch in the pecan industry
of the state, as indicating that the
years of experimenting with various
species of the nut to determine the
best variety to produce in Florida
had ended
The car represented only a small
part of Jefferson county's production
this season, growers estimating that
the crop will amount to several hun
bred thousand pounds.
Monticello also has been recogniz-
ed for some years as the only town
in the United States from which one
could order a solid carload of water
melon seed and expect delivery. JEFF
ferson county has for several years
supplied large part of the worlds
melon seed, shipping them to seeds
men throughout North America and
to exporters who send them to Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa, South America
and Australia.

COMMUNISTS ARE
MAKING SUCCESS
Of THEIR PLANS
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 8-Ihe move,

munist lnternationale at Moscow tc
gain control of the trade and indus.
trial unions throughout the world "is
meeting with marked success in SC
lar as it relates to syndicalist unions
IN the uniterd States says the first
annual report today of Attorney
General Daugherty.
Communist parties in this country
Mr. Daugherty says, have united tc
more effectively carry on propagan.
da and the policy is to endeavor tc
gain control of the labor organiza.
'tions through the control of the ex.
ecutlve committees or other govern.
ing bodies therein.
Many of the leaders of this move,
ment are American citizens" he says
though they are subject to orders
from Moscow as to their action anc
activities in the United States"
The Attorney General says there
has been noticeable effort "upor
the uart of various so-called defense
societies to propagate and carry or
agitation in behalf of the ultraradi.
Gals in the United States"
"lncOnspicuous individuals in the
ultrarad!cal movement apprehendec
locally he asserts, "are martyred
and propaganda started in their be-
half, not only within the United
| States, but throughout the entire
world. In many instances the So
called defense organizations are
found to be merely camouflage fol
such movements as the United Com
munist party which must conduct its
activities underground"
Foreign propagandists still are

ding to the report, which notes that
APT Of them arrived in the last fiscal
year. The movements, the nature
and hte extent of the activities of
these individuals have been careful

During the past fiscal year, the
report continues, "the activities of
foreign propagandists in the United
States have been particularly notice
able and careful attention has been
given to this pernicious form of
work within this country. 1t is i'm
possible to accurately estimate the
vast amount of money spent in the
United States by the foreign agents
engaged in exploiting the American
people and in creating interest in a
support for movements and schemes
entirely foreign to the interests of
the American people"

Tobacco Brokers
Suing Trust For
Running Business
tBy Associated Press)

Cleveland, Dec. Suit for $780,
600 damages against four national
tobacco manufacturers, thirteen
Cleveland jobbers and one Akron
dealer was filed in common pleas
court here today by the Weideman
Fries Co., of this city. Among the
defendants are the American Tobac-
co Co., Lorrillard & Co., Ligget &
Myers Co., and the John J. Bagley
Co.
The petition alleges that at the in
stance of the manufacturers local
jobbers formed an association to
keep up the price of tobacco and re-
fused to dispose of thir goods to the
Wideman-Fries Co. because it sold
to retailers at prices lower than
those charged by other jobbers. This
the plaintiff alleges is forcing it out
of business.
Washington, Dec. 8@Serious inju-
ry to the cotton textile industry in
New England would result from
enactment of the cotton goods sched-
ules in the Fordney tariff bill, form
'er Senator Lippitt declared today be-
fore the Senate finance committee.
He described the schedules as ap-
proved by the house as the most re-
volutionary put forward under a pro-
tective policy since the signing of
the first tariff bill in 1864.
Both Mr.. Lippitt, who spoke for
the New England manufacturers and
Arthur H. Lowe, of Massachusetts
who spoke for the association of cot
ton goods manufacturers north and
south declared that the schedules to
failed to take care of the fine fancy
figure woven goods turned out in the
New England mills at much higher
cost than the ordinary cotton goods.
These lines built up largely during
the war faced extinction it was con-
tended by reason of the old and firm
ly established industry in Europe
