MITCHELL LEWIS STAR
 OF DRAMA FEATURED
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

Mitchell Lewis, portrayer of the loveable French Canada and other virile characterizations, comes to the Empress tonight in a role that is both different and new, in the strong drama "The Last of His Peo ple."
 This is an Indian play, with the star cast as Lone Wolf" the last male member of his tribe, who, with his sister, Na-ta-le, is adopted and reared by white man. Grown to manhood, and educated in the ways of the whites, but never having seen a white woman, Lone Wolf is startled one day to see a pretty girl plunge from the loose river bank into the whirling rapids of mountain stream. She is rescued by the Indian and re- turns to her hunting lodge, where her frivolous New York companions induce her to encourage the red man and win his love on a wager.
 This she accomplishes, but in doing so she failed to reckon her own heart. The working out of this novel situation is done with skill and deli cacy, and the play is brought to a surprising and dramatic climax.
 Everybody who likes good comedy has enjoyed the Arbuckle pictures, and in doing so has realized that much of the fun is due not to Fatty" alone, but to the two acrobatic come dians who have given such able SUD- port to the antics of the fun-maker. There was Buster Keaton, the good looking, dark-haired, all-round ath- lete, and Al St. John, long, long,

NIGHT AND DAY FINDS HARDING,
 HARD AT WORK
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

WASHINGTON, Mar. 26-(Special Correspondence).-Presiden Harding, only a short time in the White House, is hard at work day and night on the great problems that face his administration. Probably no presi- dent since George Washington or Abraham Lincoln has been confront ed with more complicated interna- tional and domestic situation.
 While the international situation | is serious the domestic problems, be, ing nearer home, are pressing with greater insistence for solution. The domestic problems, probably in the orders of their importance and sig. nificance, include the following: Tax revision, tariff revision, a soldier bonus, immigration, reorganization of the federal government departments and bureaus, a proposed budget sys, tenn for all government expenditures, civil service reforms, enforcement 1 laws, antitrust law revision, a gen. eral labor law policy, Panama canal tolls, national defense, measures in cluding legislation for the army, navy and national guard; a merchant marine policy, and disposition of enemy property seized by the alien l hn These are only a few of the do, mestic problems that must be solved with the aid of congress as soon as possible. General reconstruction, | legislation waits on the special ses. sion of the next congress, which will be occupied long time with bills concerning agriculture, the housing shortage, rural credits, control of the packers, a proposal to nationalize the coal supply and railroad laws.
 In fact it would take a much great. CT amount of space than allowed here to describe all the reconstruction leg islati0n that the next congress must grapple with under the guiding hand of President Harding.
 Under a call of the president the l special session of the Sixty-seventh congress will sOCn assemble, and the 1 senators and representatives will be hard at work, with prospect of re- maining in session for many months. The special session will be one of the most important held since the Civil war, and probably the most l important. The congress that met immediately after the end of the Civil war had no such gigantic reconstruc- tion problems to solve as the Sixty. seventh congress. The country hopes, and believes, that this congress will legislative wisely and well for the benefit of all the people.
 The international problems are momentous. MT. Harding and MT Hughes are now giving consideration to these matters. The principal prob lems that are causing the president and the secretary of state much thought may be mentioned in a few paragraphs, but it would take vol umes to describe all the interlocking and subsidiary matters that pertain to some of the international affairs of the United States at this time.

 The trio has been split up, and all Buster Keaton and Al St. John are starring now in separate two reel comedy produc- Itions. We have Al St John with us tonight in a ripping, rollicking farce, "Cleaning Up"
 Tomorrow night the Empress is showing big special, in Rex Beachs latest and strongest play "The Crimson Gardenia." Differing entirely from his former pictures, the scenes are laid amid the historic New Orleans Mardi Gras Powerful melodrama, with a plot of mystery that is only solved at the end in a smashing climax.
 The Crimson Gardenia" is the best and most interesting of the Rex Beach series-a picture that will keep you enthralled and guessing;
 full of color, swift in action, keen in suspense and interesting of plot. It is played by an all-star cast, headed by Owen Moore and Hedda Nova, and including Sydney Aims worth, Alec B. Francis, Edwin Stev- ems, Gertrude Claire, Kate Lester,

and Dishes and Departs

George r. Cowell, forty-eight years
old, of 1926 West Seventy seventh
Street, was arrested late yesterday af-
ternoon by Patrolman Nylander, OF
Traffic A, after he had smashed all his
own office windows at PIT Broadway,
torn the wires of his telephone from
their moorings, pitched the receiver
into the street and wrecked the furni-
ture. He was taken In charge by Ny
lander while breaking the windows Of
Offices on the same floor with his own,
using a cane. Cowell is an exporter
and importer
Cowell told Nylander when the lat
ter demonstrated with him that he had
been unable to get the number ne
wanted on the telephone. Later he
said all his troubles were attributable
to the Vaccinations of King George Of
,ngland, J. Pierpont Morgan, Carrie
Chapman Gait and other notables. Just
as Cowell was placed under arrest Mrs.
Cowell arrived on the floor where his
office is situated. She said some one
had telephoned her to come down. Mrs.
Cowell drove the patrolman and her
husband to the Beach Street police sta
ton. Later he was fined $40 in Night
Court by Magistrate McQuade.
Mrs. Cowell drove Cowell home, say
ing she would care for him, but shortly
before midnight she again appeared IN
night court and told Magistrate Nc
Quade her husband had attired himself
in evening clothes and started out
again, after smashing nearly every
thing breakable in their home. She
said there was hardly whole dish left
in the home. Mrs. Cowell added that
sho had called for assistance from the
West Sixty-eighth Street police station.
Four policemen had been sent, but they
said they could not interfere with
Cowell's smashing his own furniture
if he wanted to.
Magistrate McQuade advised Mrs
Cowell to swear out warrant against
Colwell for malicious destruction of
property. The wife said Cowell had his
crush hat on as we'll as his dress
clothes and she was afraid he might
get into further mischief. He always
did, she said, when he wore his crush
hat.

volvers and levelled them at Miss New

sight two of them edged through the

Defrauding Government of
Admission Returns

fight promoter, was indicted yesterday
by the Federal grand jury, charged
with failing to file with the Collector

turns for the months of February

embezzlement of taxes due the govern
ment totaling $8,325.

declared yesterday that similar indict
ments may be expected soon as a re
suit of general Investigation of

the government $8,325.

All Lewis Street, Union Hill, N. j., was
sentenced to five days in jail yesterday
by Magistrate w. Bruce Cobb in
traffic court when Motorcycle Patrol
man E. j. Harper, of Squad 1, charged
that he had driven his automobile
forty-five miles an hour in Tenth Ave-
nue. near Forty second Street.
Paonessa pleaded with the magis-
trate to inf1ict fine, saying he was on
his way to the bedside of dying aunt
and trying to make the Forty-second
Street ferry at 5 o'clock when over
taken by the patrolman. The attorney
declared his aunt, whom he did not

two small children and that he had

Magistrate Cobb said he did not see
that there could be much advantages
in Paonessa's speeding, since ferries
ran every fifteen minutes. The magis-
'trate proved obdurate He announced
that he would also ask that Paonessa's
New Jersey driving license be revoked
