"Sky Pilot" Coming to Strand

oAAAb ~ otIoIhl
Probably because of the fact that
he thoroughly knows the subject
whereof he writes. Ralph Connor's
story, THE Sky Pilot" which King
Vidor has directed as a motion pic
ture, Is n of the real gems among
current motion picture releases.
Ralph Conner whose zeal name is
Rev. Charles w. Gordon, and whose
steady occupation is not writing
books at all, but preaching the
gospel in his little Canadian church,
is to be congratulated upon the sin
cere manner in which the Cathrine
Curtis Productions have translated
his story to the screen. Few authors
can claim as interesting a film YER
sion OF their work as can the Rev.
Gordon.
The story deals with a young min
lister who is sent into the Canadian
ranch belt to spread the gospel
among the cowboys. His trials and
fluctuations, his fights, his faith, his
hope are masterfully interpreted by
King Vidor through John Bowers,
who plays the title role. How the
pilot, unpopular at first wins a place
TO rhimself in the hearts Of the cow
boys, who surprise him on Christmas
morning by leading him blind-folded
down a s~now-covered trail to show
him the little frame church they
have built without his knowledge,
forms the human note of the story
which is featured by several smash
ing dramatic scenes.
THE Sky Pilot" will begin a
three days engagement at the
Strand theatre tomorrow.
Larry Semon, the comedian in
"The Bakery" which will also be
shown at the Strand theatre tomor-

through the Fordney emergency tariff
bill.

cratic fi1ibuster brought on the clasn,
Senator Underwood, of Alabama, mi
nority leader, and other prominent

filibustering was in progress or con-
templated. The democratic leaders

expect the bill to pass and sought to
place the blame on democratic oppo-
nents Democratic Leader Underwood
added that the measure even if passed
would be vetoed by President Wilson,
because he said 1T was repugnant to
democratic tariff principles He dis
claimed having received any direct in
formation from the president, how

the finance committee Senator Pen
rise said his suggestion was made to
test the good faith of certain gentle
men" and the democratic leaders re-
torted that Penrose's move was an
effort to charge the democrats with
impeding the bill.
After hours of spirited verbal scuf-
fling, interspersed with some actual
discussion of the bills tariff schedules.
the republicans scored a real point by
forcing a recess of the senate tonight
until tomorrow instead of adjourn
ment a move which operates to keep
the bill before the senate for consid-

IMMIGRATION IS
BEFORE SENATE
House Bill Restricting Aliens
Will Undergo Changes in
Upper House.
MAY SORT IMMIGRANTS
Proposal to Establish Commits
sion is Fav0rably Received
by Senators.
lsy Associated Rrsssl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The sen
ate immigration committee concluded
it's hearings on the johnson bill to
practically suspend immigration for
one year today after hearing the
views of Anthony Caminetti COM
missioner general of immigration.
Committee members indicated by
their comments that the measure
would not be reported to the senate
in the form in which it was passed
-by the house, and Chairman Colt pre-
dicted that a variety of new features
probably would be incorporated in the
bill
What the public is most apprehen-
sive about" Senator Colt said, after
conclusion of the hearings, "is the
number of aliens who are coming to
America. We could allay fear in this
respect by fixing a maximum for the
number to be admitted annually"
Chairman Colt expressed the opin-
ion that the cmmittee would look with
favor on provisions of a bill intro
duced by Senator Dillingham; repub-
lican, Vermont, which would restrain
immigration on a percentage system
based on the number of aliens from
various countries already admitted to
the United States.
Members of the committee also were
said to favor certain features of the
Sterling bill restricting immigration
and at the same time providing for
appointment of board to study i'm
migration problems with a view to
adjusting regulations as emergencies
arise.
Today's sessions of the committee
were marked by frequent clashes be-
tween Commissioner Caminetti and
various members of the committee.
The senators repeatedly attempted to
ascertain whether the commissioner
favored suspension of immigration,
but he refused to commit himself on
this point
At one juncture, Mr. Caminetti said
he thought such recommends tions
should come from his superior, Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson.

sentative Steel Democrat, Pennsylvania,
after discussion with the other members
who heard the testimony in New York
and Washington relating to the $780,
900 voucher. It's issuance in advance of
the full report of the committee on the
results of its investigation was unusual
but members explained that it had been
decided to break away from long estab-
lished rules on the grounds of fairness
to one unjustly accused.
When the final report on the whole
inquiry is submitted to congress, it was
said the committee would reiterate in
more formal form it's belief that the
charge was without justification.
1t was explained by Mr. Steele that
there might have been some impropriety

chairman of an investigating committee
in advance of an official finding, but
that there was urgeant demand for an
expression at this time in view of Mr..
Schwab's public service.

on the subject was given by Representa-
tive Foster, Republican. Ohio. while Mr..
Schwab was the stand in New York

said he wanted to express his apprecia-
tion of Mr.. Schwab's work and the in
estimablea service he had rendered the

by the testimony said Representative
Conally, Democrat, Texas, who, with
Chairman Walsh and Representatives

tiQn as part of the costs of ships built
