 The cast supporting Miss Stewart is notably strong, including as it does such brilliant photoplayers as Ralph Lewis James Morrison, Myrtle Stedman and William " Mong. It is an adaptation from the stage play of Sydney Grundy and the screen version was directed by John M. Stahl under the supervisor of the producer. MT Mayer.

In Sowing the Wind' she is said to go even further in her commendable efforts to establish herself as one of the screens most versatile artists.

Mayer, the pro- ducer, confidently announces this as one of Miss Stewards best efforts at inter preting the silent dramatic art of which she has long been recognized as one ot the most popular opponents The story concerns Rosamond, who emerges from convent to plunge into the evil en- vironments of gambling dive over which presdes her benefactress, Baby Brabant, who is later revealed as the girls mother. Her flight from the den of orgies and her subsequent meeting with the man she loves and the acct dental finding of her father combine to make story of sustained suspense, af- fording Miss Stewart plenty of opportu- mites to display her emotional qualities

poration Counsel, but as q deputy fo,
the Attorney General, the city having
been excluded from the case. Mr.. Car
vex contended that this appearance of
the Corporation Counsel under such
circumstances was improper.
An important point made by Mr.,
Carver related TO the money which has
been inipounded by order of the Dis
trtct Court representing the difference
between the proceeds of the sO-cent
rate and the rate charged by the COM
pany, since 1t won in the court Of
Judge Hand. This rate is now S1.25.
impounded Money at Stake
Mr.. Carver contended that unless the
court made some order to protect The
company the company was likely TO be
deprived of this impounded money
even though the Supreme Court held
the S0-cent rate confiscatory He took
the ground the Public Service Commits
sion, If the court knocked out the 80
cent rate, could fix d new rate which
would be retroactive and affect the
money impounded. He argued that ST.
100000 was a fair valuation Of the
company's franchises.
Mr.. Carver devoted much Of his time
to arguments upholding the position OF
Judge Hand. He contended the cost Of
all materials and labor entering in gas
making had greatly increased since The
law of 1905 was enacted and that the
S0-cent rate was clearly confiscatory.
Mr.. Carver called attention to The
fact that three of the COURT ustice.

Case One Of Bulkiest
Mr.. Carver brought out that the
money now impounded In the hands of
a special master amounted to several
million dollars. This money is at stake
in the proceeding, to say nothing of
the bearing of the matter on future
rates.
The Consolidated controversy is one
Of the bulkiest cases on record. 1t con-
sists of 1880 printed pages, contained
in twenty-cne volumes, accompanied by
f,o27 exhibits. Mr.. Carver, in protest
ing because the Corporation Counsel
had been brought into the case by the
Attorney General, said the record had
been made half as long again as it
should have been by the Corporation
CounsePs tactics.
Mr.. Carver said the court would take
judicial notice of the increasing rates
granted to public utilities in different
parts of the couitry. He asserted that
The gas company for the last fifteen
years under the present 80-cent rate
had not had a return on investment of
over per cent. and that at times it
had been below 3 per cent.

The synod's next meeting will take
place in Albany next November.
Bishop Frederick Burgess, Of the
Long island Diocese, in discussing the
amended resolution, said "thc Epis-
copal Church is open to rich and poor
alike, welcoming every one to ita fold. ?
The. resolution, as amended and
passed, pointed out that at is most de-
sirable that the general conventions as
well as other church gathe rings, should
have the full benefit of men Of every
occupation, sphere and work. In the
resolution 1T was provided that the
synod recommend to the several dio-
cesses of the province that the ex-
penses of lay as we'll as clerical dep
utles to the general convention be paid
in full by the dioceses which they
represent, to the end that there may
be opportunity to bring to the church
the mind Of the whole body of the
faithful Of every social and Industrial
status" Objection was made to the
use of the phrase working man" in
the original resolution on the ground
that it introduced a class distinction
into the church.
Bishop Paul Matthews, of Trenton,
suggested that the headquarters of the
general convention be moved from New
York to Washington, and that the
