Will CLAIM JOKE
Admiral Sims Will Tell His
Chief His Words Garbled.'
Claims "Jackass Speech" Was
an Attempt at HumOr.

London. June 13.-Admiral w. S.
Sims will tell Secretary DENLY that he
was attempting humor when he re-
ferred to Sim Fein sympathizers in
the United States as asses with
votes" it was believed here today by
persons close to him.
The admiral, preparing for his re-
turn to the United States to face rep
rimand for his speech here, refused to
comment on the exchange of mes
sages with DENLY.
1t was believed, however, that he
will place the blame for the contro-
versy on the Interpretation of certain
passages of his speech, which he prob
ably will claim were further garbled
in cable transmission.
1t was evident here that Sims will
refuse to retract his version of what
he actually said before the English
Speaking union.
Despite Sims's declaration to DENLY
that the press had garpled his speech,
the admiral continued popular with
British newspapers. Only the Daily
News attacked his utterances.
Sims stood by his declaration that
his speeches here were 10 stronger
than some he had made in the United
States.

After the Porter resolution issfinally

ACT in TOLL CASE
Judge Pollock Rules That p. e.
C. Exceeded It's Authority.
Refused to Dissolve Injunction
of X. C. Phone Company.

The Kansas public utilities commits
sion exceeded its authority and juris-
dicticn in investigation of the agree
ments for toll rate distribution, ac-
cording to a decision today by Judge
John c. Pollock of the United States
district court. Judge Pollock re-
fused to dissolve an injunction granted
the Kansas City Long Distance Tele-
phone company against the state COM
mission and held the state commission
was without power to act.
Gave Notice of Hearing.
Recently the state commission gave
notice of a hearing to investigate dis
tribution of toll charges. The Kansas
City company with contracts in fifty
Kansas towns, enjoined the holding OF
a hearing, but the commission pro-
ceeded to take testimony in matters
which did not directly affect the Kan
sas City company. Now, it appears
the entire proceedings may be an
nulled by the court in appeals from
the state commissions decision.
Judge Pollock held that the COM
mission was without statutory power
to proceed. He also held that the
contracts were between the individual
corporations and became a private
business transac Since they die
not affect rates paid by telephone pa
irons, the commission was declared
to be without jurisdiction or authority
to act. The temporary injunction
granted against the commission wa.
held in force and Judge Pollock re-
tanned jurisdiction with authority tt
make supplemental orders.

ROAD COSTS REDUCED
Average Price for Concrete Road Il
Now $31 600 Per Mile.

Average Price for Concrete Road Is
Now S31 600 Per Mile.
Road construction costs are coming
down. The average cost for concrete
road construction is now s31, 900 a
mile, according to NJ. w. Watson. state
highway engineer. as compared to the
peak price of $4,000 a mile. The
pre-war cost was $4,000.
Brick pavement has also come
down. It now costs about s41, 900 a
mile, which is $4,000 to $4,000 less
than a year ago. Watson said.
Both the cost of material and labor
have declined to make the lower level
of prices possible. Further reductions
depend principally upon whether the
present freight rates are maintained.
Engineer Watson believes. The freight
on materials represents a large per-
centage of the total cost, he said

was on her honeymoon. She

was on her honeymoon She met
Frances Marion in Italy, also on her
honeymoon, and the two worked out
the story sitting on high rock over
looking the Adriatic and it was in
Italy they secured many of the prop
critics and several of the players, who
support Miss Pickford. The players
and properties were brought all the
way from southern Europe to Cali
fornia where the Italian settings were
infinitely reproduced from photo
graphs taken by the two.
Miss Pickford has appeared in COM
edy-drama but never in an emotional
drama of the type of "The Love
Light" and it was only after care
full study and deliberate consideration
that she felt herself equal to the ire
mendous role she plays in this story.
Those who have seen the produc-
ton say that Mary Pickford rises to
histrionic artistic effects which
screen artist has never before at
tempted, but in all this, in the clever
Characterization of an Italian girl,
she is still the beautiful Mary whom
we love so much.
Miss Pickford has surrounded her
self with a splendid cast, which in

PICKFORD'S NEXT PICTURE
NEW CHARACTERIZE
Departure from Former Work Gives
Her Wonderful Opportunities.

Mary Pickford's latest United Ar
lists production, 1.-THE Love Light"
which will be seen at the Kenworthy
Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, is
an entirely different story and an abb
solutely new Characterization than
anything in which the Worlds Sweet
heart has heretofore appeared.
Ever since Mary Pickford has had
her own producing organization and
could dictate as to the type of photo
play in which she was to appear, she
has adapted the policy of never adj
herring entirely to one line of parts,
not only because she believes the diff
ferent lines of characters tend to in
crease her ability as an artist.
Those who saw her recent comedies
will certainly enjoy her in her forth
coming production by Frances Mari
on, who, has been acclaimed the lead
ing scenario writer of the country,
and bids fair to standing at the head
of the list of directoresses-
"The Love Light" has unusual in
