ANTON LANG WRITES PASSION
PLAY WILL Be GIVEN IN 1922

Anton Lang, famous as the Christus
of the Passion Play of Oberammergau,
Bavaria, has written to f. X Zettler,
Ia merchant of Chicago, that the peo-
pie of the little village have definitely
decided to produce the sacred drama
in 1922. In reaching this decision,
Mr.. Lang wrote, the older inhabitants
of Oberammergau had to overcome
the objections of the younger folk.
"All had to admit that the old vows
must be kept, and, relying on the good
Lord, every one is now ready to work
for the great undertaking" Mr.. Lang S
letter declared.
Committees have been appointed to
make preliminary arrangements for
the presentation of the play, and there
are signs of a revival of interest in
the world outside of Bavaria A re-
preventative of the American Express
Company has called on, those in
charge, to ascertain the date and other
particulars of the production.

well as a suggestion that Ulster be

Washington. Nov. %. - Especial
Telegram, )-Senator Norris, who has
been nursing himself back 10 health
since his breakdown early in the
summer, while actively participating
in the work OF the senate since his
return from his summer camp in
Wisconsin, has not participated in
any lengthy discussion on the floor.
Today. however, Senator Hitchcock,
his colleague, had taken occasion TO
praise the democratic party for im-
provemen,s which had been made in
the tax bill, with reference TO sur
taxes on incomes, incidentally giving
the so-called agricultural bloc" i'll
the senate praise for joining the
democrats in raising the surtax over
the house bill as originally passed.
Senator Norris listened attentively
TO his colleague paint the picture Of
d c nj ocratic craftsmanship and
achievement and take credit for
fashioning legislation to the satisfac-
ton OF the great majority OF the
people. Then the junior senator
pulled the props out from under
Senator Hitchcock by reading from
the Congressional Record just what
democrats have and have not done,
with particular emphasis on the
senior senator's previous votes.

when he moved great many scna'

after we went into the war. the sen-
ate fought for weeks over the propo,
sition OF increasing income taxes and
increasing taxes on war profits.
also remember that there then was
a democratic majority and republi-

made by few republicans and few

New York, Nov. 23.-(By The

jail sentence imposed today by Fed
eral Judge Van Fleet on members
of the tile combine, government
prosecutors were preparing tonight

legged members of the building trust

mittee.
District Attorney Hayward Or
dered to the Essex county Jail in
New Jersey four OF the 20 defend
ants who pleaded guilty recently to
violating the Sherman act. Having
pleaded guilty, he announced, the
quartet could not appeal, so that il
appeared to be their fate to be the
ilrst violators of the Sherman law to
be put behind bars since the meas
ure was enacted in 1890.
Before pronouncing sentence.
Judge Van Fleet expressed belief
that mere fine would not serve as
a deterrent. He added, however.
that the Jail sentence was shorter
than would have been the case if the
defendants had not pleaded guilty.

Medicine Closed.

Washington, Nov. 25.--The anti

Treasury regulations making pre-
scription of beer possible were is
sued last month, but only about
half dozen brewers have obtained
permits to manufacture beer for
medical purposes.
The bill signed today, in addition
to outlawing medical beer, provides
that not more than one-fourth gal
Ion Of vinous liquor. or vinous or
spirituous liquors, separately or in
the aggregate, containing more than
one-half pint of alcohol, may be
prescribed in 10 days; that physi-
clans shall be limited to 100 pre-
scriptions for such liquor in 90 days
unless extraordinary reason is pre-
sented; that importation of spiritu-
Gus or vinous liquors is prohibited
until the amount on hand shall not
be sufficient to supply the current
need for non-beverage uses; that
private residences may not be
searched without search warrant
and that the courts of Hawaii and
the Virgin islands are given juris-
diction to enforce the national pro-
hibition act.
