McWhinney will attend to its presenta-
ton in the lower house.
II was stated emphatically yesterday
that the preparation for the banking
and insurance investigation does not
mean that the committee has finished
Its drive against various branches Cf
the building industry. Members of sew
eral building trades combines were said
yesterday to have been congratulating
themselves upon the fact that the COM
mittee had ended its work for the year
without getting after them.
Labor Leaders to Testify.
Counsel for the committee expect to
strike at several of these combines as
soon as they get the increased powers
which they are seeking, and they are
planning to call several persons con-
nected with organized labor to testify TO
the methods OF Brindell and others.
These witnesses will include labor lead
ers who have Suffered oppression.
In connection with the receipt OF COM
munications from members of certain
combines who are making offers to dis
solve and amend their ways provided
they get promises Of immunity from
prosecution, counsel to the committee
said yesterday there will be no compro-
mise They insist that the members of
these combines must surrender uncon-
ditionally. but say that any voluntary
act on the part of these people undoubt-
edly will be taken into consideration by
the investigating and prosecuting staff.
AS the powers of the committee ceased
at IL o'clock last night, and as 1t will be
unable to subpoena any more witnesses
until after the adoption Of the resolution
for it's continuance, various persons who
have been remaining out of the state
for the purpose of evading process now
have an opportunity to return for few
days, and it is probable that they will
avail themselves of this period of grace.

The way for a thorough investiga-

yesterday by Samuel Untermyer, Sam
uel A. Berger and other counsel to the
Lockwood legislative committee in the
drafting of resolution which is
scheduled for presentation to the
Legislature on Wednesday.
This resolution. If passed, not only
will continue the Lockwood committee
but will add greatly to the scope of it's
powers, granting to it the right to give
immunity from prosecution to certain
witnesses whose testimony is expected
to have an important bearing upon
points under investigation, and en-
powering It to inquire into the man

Institutions.
The Importance of this change lies

public inquiries here gave II the right
merely to inquire into funds loaned on
building mortgages. An Investigation
of the insurance companies and banks
in this connection has been talked of
by persons connected with the commit
tee for some time, but the matter was
allowed to drift until the new year
because counsel felt that before under
taking such an investigation they should
obtain broader powers.
= Clause Once Stricken Out.
The immunity clause is desired be-
cause the committee has rpm afoul Of
several witnesses who are regarded as
minors or puppets of Objectionable COM
bines, and WHO. 1t is thought could be
induced TO talk freely If the fear of
criminal prosecution were removed.
Such clause was contained in the
original resolution empowering the
committee to act, but 1t was struck
out before the resolution passed the
Legislature. The members are now of
the opinion that it Is necessary to
grant immunity to some minor offend

INDICTMENTS FOR
COAL ALPROFITEERING
Big Independent Operators in
Pennsylvania Presented by
Grand Jury Here.
NEW YORK AGENT NAMED
Lever Act Invoked for Over
charges Alleged as Being
$3.50 to $685. a Ton.

Indictments charging excessive profits
and violations of the Lever anti-prof-
! lteering act were returned yesterday in
the United States District Court against
two of the largest independent coal oper-
ators in Pennsylvania. In addition TO
the companies the Grand Jury found
similar indictments against Henry e.
Meeker 143 Liberty street, New York,
who is charged with having been the
sales agent for the indicted operators
responsible for the transactions resulting
in the charges.
The companies indicted are the Won
Storch Colleries Company OF Scranton
and the Haddock Mining Company. oper-
ating colleries at Lucerne. The indict-
ment against the Won Storch company
contains thirty-six counts and that
against the Haddock company nineteen
counts. Identical allegations are made
against Meeker.

chestnut and pea sizes was sold at the
mines at prices ranging from sl3 to SIS
a ton, whereas. it is alleged. price of
from sS.35 to sS.65 would have paid all
overhead and allowed fair profit.
An unusual feature of the indictments
is that they are presented In the face Of
court order which enjoins the opera
tion of the Lever act in Pennsylvania.
Consequently, the Government charges.
the coal operators have been continuing
to maintain a high price for coal sold
(. 0. b. the mines. and pending a decision
ftf.t1s 7
by the Supreme Court the only way to
attack the companies was on the basis
of sales outside of the State OF Pennsyl-
vania.
The Government Investigation, con-
Quoted by Armin w Riley. special as
sistant to Attorney General Palmer Is
said to have revealed that the Won
Storch company during September and
October last sold total Of 1880 tons
in New York. New Jersey and the New
EnglaSd States at prices ranging from
S13 tC SIS a ton +. o. b. the mines
The Hadd ock company is charged with
selling 13.500 tons at from Sl2 TO $13
ton. In each case the Government
contends that from $S.35 to $S.65 would
have been a fair price.
1t has been the Governments con-
tention that the high price of coal to
the consumer was controlled by the op-
orators Mt the mines. These operators
blamed the middlemen and commission
dealers. and meantime while the Gov
ernment has been restrained from In
voking the Lever act in PENNSYLVANIA
the price of coal has kept up. 1t Is to
thrash out this point that the Attorney
General asked for indictments.
The indictments against Meeker are
against him in person and do not in

Fox and the Films.

WILLIAM FOX, the head Of the Fox
Film Corporation, has proved
that New York, where the first mo-
ton picture was made. can be the
center of this great industry. For
just a year he has centered the work
of his corporation in the metropolis,
not in the state or in the suburbs. but
right in the heart Of the city and ten
minutes walk from the blazing white
light district.
A year ago he built an enormous
55th and 56th streets, with a studio
floor, where a dozen companies could
work at once, where there was cen
tered the whole staff and working
outfit on another floor. with labora-
tory in the basement. so that every
to the turning out of the finished
film was done under one roof. In
other words. he gave to New York un-
der one roof what the moving picture
industry has given to southern Cali
fornia.
That the plan is more than success
full is shown by the building at pres
ent of an addition, while an entire
block recently occupied by the Kelly
Springfield Company has been pur-
chased by the F,px interests for the
extension Of the plant.
OF course the Fox studios at Los
Angeles continue. but William Foxs
pride is the moving picture city he
has built and is operating right in the
heart of his ownsNew York. For Fox
is a born and bred New Yorker. He
started there With one theater. and
now, in addition to his great motion
picture plant. he has thirty eight
theaters in .vafious parts Of the
United States.

IN the artistic world we have two
kinds of artists, creative and in
terpretative. A creative artist spends
half of his life teaching his brain to
do creative thinking; the other half
teaching himself to express the
thoughts created.
An interpretative artist takes the
product of a great creator and re-
produces it in another form of eX-
preston.
Naturally, the creative individual.
with his especially trained brain, is
the most to be envied-as he brings
world. And the man who has learned
to create is not limited to one line
of expression. So it is that Michael
angelo and Dante, Gabriel Rossetti.
great artists. wrote sonnets that en-
thralled the literary world. And the
is even greater than his prowess as
silversmith, goldsmith or sculptor
Paderewski. Kubelik and the mezzo-
tint artists of the eighteenth century
are our great interpretative artists.
But how" 1 hear some one asking.
docs this all apply to motion pic
tures?' ..-.
, : 1t applies in. this way: We have
come ;to~thfnk of the motion picture
director largely as an interpretative
artist, interpreting the story of an
other man.
But is he? We can understand the
wonderful work of a Paderewski be-
cause he had something concrete to
interpret: a wonderful score which
gave him the sole and single duty
of placing in proper terms of finger
technique and touch.
The script the director is given.
however. is not concrete thing. 1t
represents the nearest possible ap-
proach to a written reproduction of a
photoplay-but it is impossible to
make such a presentation real in
writing. The reality is breathed into
it by the director. who visualizes in
