| picture, Deception which will be
| presented at the Crescent theatre
all the week. Henry Porten, a
celebrated screen star of Europe,
plays the part of Anne with a maj
esty and force seldom achieved by
any screen players.
The story has to with the love
romance of Anne Boleyn whose
child ultimately becomes the Virgin
Queen. Emil ~Jannings is seen as
King Henry. The supporting play
ers are highly artistic in their re-
spective portrayals.
The films which were made by
Ernest Lubitsch for the CZecho-Slo-
vakian government were shown to-
day to a special gathering of gov
eminent officials, all of whom were
loud in their praise, which reflected
great praise on Lubitsch. their d.
rector.
Five of these films, which consist
of six reels each, are to be sent to
New York, where they will be put
before the public by the same firm
which also released Ernest Lub-
itsch's latest production, "Decep-
ton" which has made such a de-
cided sensation in this country.
This Czecho-Slovakian govern
ment film will do much toward &C
qauinting America with the wonders
and possibilities of its country and
the government realizes that the
cost of same will be more than made
up to them, If in no other way than
to bring the new republic to the
attention of the entire world.

DEPARTMENT OF
STATE WINS OUT
ON MAYOR'SCASE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The
state department today had undis
puted power to control or halt i'm
migration through passport restric-
tons.
This power was gained by the de-
partment as result of the outcome
of it's dispute with the labor depart
ment over the case of Donal O'Cal-
laghan, lord mayor of cork, who
came here as a stowaway. The state
department contended O'Callaghan
should not have been allowed to land
and having landed should be at once
deported The labor department pa
rolled O'Callaghan and then ruled he
was a seaman but would have to
leave the country as soon as he could
reship.
After conference with President
Wilson it was agreed that the state
department in addition to it's power
to refuse to wise passports of would
be immigrants should have final say
as to whether persons coming here
without passport should be al
lowed to land.
Thus the state department car
stop would-be' immigrants leaving
their native countries by refusing to
wise Lnelr passports. II Immigrant S
get here without passports, the de-
| partment can refuse to let them
| land.
Advices from Norfolk today were
that O'Callaghan's attorneys might
attack in the courts the ruling in his
case, thus questioning the state de-
partment's power.
Aefusa1 to wise passports OF
would-be immigrants is causing the
! forging of passports in foreign coun
tries, according to word here. Fur
Their restrictions to control immi-
grafton will see an increase in this
i practice, it is believed.

AMERICUS MAY
LAND POTATO
SYRUP STATION

AMERICUS. Ca, Jan. 20.-A party
of government experts investigating
the possibilities of developing a
sugar and syrup crop out of sweet
potatoes visited Americas Thursday
to consider locating an experiment
station here. In the party are D. j.
Price, engineer in charge Of develop
ment works; DR.. H. C. Goare, chem
sweet potato syrup product, and j.
o. Ray, a mechanical engineer.
Funds for defraying the expenses
of the experiment were appropriated
by congress through a bill introduce
ed by Representative Charles R..
Crisp. .o
A sweet potato syrup already de-
veloped is described by J. Ralston
Cargill, who has just returned from
Washington, as possessing splendid
flavor and being we'll adapted to table
use. The cost of making this syrup
has not yet been definitely determin-
ed. According to Mr.. Cargill, BUSH
ell Of sweet potatoes weighing Sc
pounds will yield one and a half
gallons of very thick syrup, several
samples of which he has shown
friends here, or, about two gallons
of syrup of ordinary consistency. In
addition the potatoes yield about
three pounds of dry pulp containing
about II per cent of protein, and pos
sessing high value as dairy feed.
