THOMA NE1GHAN GRAND 10
MORROW

One of the outstanding features in
the production of Booth Harrington 5
novel, "The Conquest Of Canaan a
Paramount icture starring Thomas
Meighan, is the complete fidelity CT
the scenes. For much of this picture;
which will be shown at the Grand
theatre tomorrow and Friday was
taken in Asheville, N. c. This town
was transformed into Canaan Tor
the fighting of the picture, which
gave an air of reality to the entire
setting, something that is hard to-
obtain with constructed sets. The ma
ture of Mr.. Tarkington's story was
such that it demanded real houses,
streets. street cars, and railroad sta
tions. These were all obtained in
Ashevill, but the camouflage was
dore So perfectly that the identity OF
Asheville is completely hidden. Ev-
erybcdy of prominence in the town
took part in the smob scenes and all
seemed to enjoy their novel exper-
ience in appearing in the same picture
with so famous and handsome star
as Mr.. Meighan.

YEGGS BLOW BANK
 VAULT AT CENTRE
Robbers Escape With S593.50 In Cash and Small Number
 of Liberty Bonds

Montgomery, March 17.-(Special)-Re- ports received by the state banking de- partment and the state agency of an in- surance company here Thursday showed that robbers obtained s593 50 in silver and small number of Liberty Bonds in a raid on the Cherokee County bank while the citizens of Centre slumbered, some time Wednesday night. The value of the Liberty Bonds had not been estap- lished late Thursday. The bank will not lose penny, as the loss is covered by burglary insurance
 The robbers broke into the building and succeeded in entering the vault, but evidently were frightened away before blowing open the safe within the vault, as the loss was confined to the silver and Liberty Bonds outside the safe. H. Il. Montgomery state superintendent of banks, announced that the burglary will not interfere with the operation of the bank The robbery was discovered when officials arrived at the bank this morn- ing. There is no clue which might lead to the capture of the robbers.
 This is the second bank robbery in Ala bama within a week. Robbers ransacked the bank of Hodges, Franklin county, after attacking the cashier Tuesday morning, but did not obtain a large amount of money. This loss, too, was covered by insurance.

HUiani Coming to Learn Whether us.
 Would Join League Without Article X

Viviani will point out that the French and allied nations cannot abandon the covenant of the league, because it is inseparably interwoven with the ex- ecution of the treaty of Versailles, first, with regard to the adminis- tration of the Saare regions; second, the administration of Danzig and the Polish corridor; third, that it has given title to the districts of the Eupen and Malmedy to Belgium, and fourth, that it is charged to super wise the restriction of Germany's armament and that of her late allies along with other nations after the withdrawal of the allied military commission.
 Besides. M. Viviani will contend that any efforts to separate the cove nant from the treaty would render less secure the fact that the treaty already is the treaty of Versailles. This is deemed particularly import ant. because ehe allies at present are applying military and economic pres sure to enforce the treaty.
 Ssephane Lauzzane. chief editor of the Matin, will accompany M. Viviani to the United States.

 This has not been disclosed off cially nor by M. Viviani himself, but it is the understanding of his in- tinlate associates in public life that this will be the primary object of his visit to Washington.
 M. Viviani will set forth considera- tions which he considers will make it easy for the United States to en- ter the League of Nations. He has talked over the question not only with members of the French govern ment but with the council of the league and with various persons In Paris who are regarded as having spe- cial knowledge of the United States.

The aisles were kept clear of spectators by deputies and state troops A guard of state policemen was maintained outside the room, and all per- sons who entered were searched
 In his instructions to the jury Judge Bailey stressed the point as to whether conspiracy existed among the 16 de- fendants to kill the Baldwin-Felts deteo- tives, seven of whom met death in the battle. or whether A. C. Felts fired the first shot at Mayor c. C. Testerman. The state has contended that conspiracy did exist, while the defense maintained that the mountaineers acted in self defense.
 Attorney Avis. in summing up, tried to show that conspiracy existed to kill the detectives He confined himself for the most part to recapitulation of the tes- timony given by witnesses placed upon the stand by the state. An attack against the plea of self-defense was launched by the attorney when he declared that not single one of the seven trained men except poor Albert Felts, had chance to fire a shot"

PACKING EMP[OYES CAST BALLOTS FOR
 NATIONAL STRIKE
Vote Almost Unanimous for Strike in Case Wage Cut Is Put Into Effect By
 Big Packers
Rr Assncinted Prnsa

Chicago, March 17.--An almost unani- nous vote in favor of national strike in the packing industry was cast throughout the country, according to union officials who begun to count the ballots tonight. Definite returns are not expected before tomorrow
 While no definite reports of the re- suits of the strike vote have been re- ceived.' said Dennis Lane of the Amal- gamated Meatcuters and Butcher Work mems union, T have information from practically all points that they seem unanimous in favor of strike in the event that the government fails to have the packers return to a compliance with the wartime arbitration agreement"
 At the same time MT. Lane sent teie- gram to James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor at Washington. repeating previous charges that the packers were trying to precipitate premature strike, and that they had threatened to discharge em ployes who failed to support the 'in- dustrial democracy" plan recently put into effect by Armour & Co.
 Mir Lane appealed to Secretary Davis to use his influence to prevent an open break before the conference between himself and representatives of the pack CTS in Washington on Monday. The packers denied both of. MT. Lanes s charges.
 Union leaders declared that they woul depart for Washington on Saturday, and said that the only issue they would pre- sent would be a demand for the resto- ration of the wartime arbitration agree ment which was cancelled by the pacK. CTS On February 26. These agreements were to have been continued in force until year after the termination of the war" the unions assert.
