THE BIJOU.

With Priscilla Dean as a stony hearted queen of the underworld and Lon Clancy as powerful rat in whose heart turks no slightest ray of loyalty Or fear, Outside the Law," the great est melodrama ever screened, opens its local engagement at the Bijou theatre Sunday night, and should pack that popular theatre at every performance.
 When Outside the Law" is described as the greatest melodrama ever screened that isn't any idle praise for the picture will, live up to that description during every minute of the screenng of the an 5000 foot picture with kick in every foot, and there again it lives up to the full meaning of the expression. It is drama of such intensity, that one forgets they are merely watching an absorbing picture, and feels they are witnesses of a most dramatic slice of life -.-..
 Outside the Law" will keep the sil- yer sheet of the Bijou theatre lurking place of romantic and mysterious drama. Tod Browning, the director who also directed that great success, "The Virgin of Stamboul,'' has woven into this picture a wealth of human action and emotion against the warp of an intense Oriental devotion to an ideal.
 After Priscilla Dean endeared her self to everyone as wicked darling, wildcat a spitfre, an exquisite thief, some of us felt parkway resentment at seeing her as a Turkish beggar maid In Outside the Law" Miss Dean has the part she was born for-that of Silky Nell Madden, sweet, wise, and unsenti- mental
 Lon Clancy plays Black Mile" Silva, product of San Francisco's slums whose revenue is only foregone when death steps in. Clancy fascinated us as but in Outside the Law" he reaches the zenith so far of his dramatic career with dual characterization that is ab- solutely marvellous.

BRANDECEE OPPOSES
 TRADE WITH RUSSIA
With Lodge and Rest of Oli- garchy Knocks Labor
 Proposal.

Washington, Feb. 11.-A strong ap- peal for the establishment of trade rela- tiosn with Russia was presented to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during the last week by a delegation of labor leaders headed by Timothy Healy, president of the International Brother hood of Stationary Bremen and Oilers, and E. C. Davison, secretary-treasurer of the International Association of Machinists. It was clear that Senators Lodge, Brandegee and others who may be regarded as representing the "oli- garchy'' were very much opposed to the idea. Only Senator France of Mary land was outspoken in support of la bor's proposal.
 The labor leaders took the position that England and other countries were now trading with the Soviets and that unless our country acted promptly we would be left in the position of holding the bag. They made 1t clear that they were not Bo1shevists and were not ask ing for formal recognition of the Soviet government. Their sole purpose was to secure a re-estab1ishment of trade re- 1ations to the end that the employment problem might be relieved.
 Last week i'll letter to the New Ha- ven Trades Council Brandegee promised to give the matter his attention when it came Up. He apparently is, as usual, against Labor's interests.

CHILD'S LUNCH PROVES
 LIVING COST IS CUT

A shining example of why the work ingman should meek1y accept a cut in wage is given in the manner in which the John D. Rockefeller and Standard Oips "Chi1ds' Lunch" is reducing its prices. Anyone who wouldn't take a cut after once eating there must be foolish.
 Last Saturday a couple of workers were begui1ed into the Church street place by the tempting Hopping of flap jacks in the window, Three of them, with little syrup and butter, cost 20 cents and that was alright but when finished the pair found they were yet hungry. So ham and eggs were ordered
 Soon they came-a pair of eggs fired together and paper thick sheet of ham about the sizes of. the palm of hand. And the pert waitress punched 60 cents on each check. There wasn't sign of a piece of potato or bread with the order so bread was called for That came-two thin slices wrapped in tissue paper and another nickel hole went into the check. Then coffee was ordered and came at 10 cents per small cup and look was taken at the price list with view to pie.
 Fifteen cents per cut" read the menu and there the royal feast stopped. It had already cost o5 cents each, so the luxury of pie had to be omitted.
 Sure the cost of living has come down but not in Rockefe1ler's shop.

HOPE FOR TAXATION
(Continued from Page 1.)

made much more costly just because the cars pass over them. Again its asks relief from paying for it's share of street paving although again the passage of the cars does great damage to these pavements.
 The trolley company asks that the people pay all these costs and give it all the protection of the state. In all its supplication nothing has yet been said that would indicate willingness to re- duce fares if this state and city relief is granted. Now the workers believe 1t Is time for showdown and if they will have to pay these extra costs for the company then the company should come down on the fares.
 The company has not paid the state or the cities anything in this line for several years. According to official re- port made this week, the Connecticut Company owes the state $1,244, ,16660 i'll direct taxes and there are outstanding about the state bills tota11ing $648, ,OOO in deferred paving obligations and $33O,OOO in bridge assessments. Yet the for 1920 and bases this on the jitney competition cutting it off just that much. Of course wages paid to the employees and cost of materials come in for a share of the blame but the complaint is confined to the jitney principally as the company has hopes, aside from getting relief ill taxation, of having the jitney finally ruled from the streets and thus compel workers to ride on the trolleys or not ride at all.
 The company hasn't paid a dividend since 1916, or shortly after the Federal trustees took hold. Nevertheless the regular reports of the New Haven road show that in rentals and other things, substantial sums have been paid by the Connecticut company to the railroad, which as it owns the tro11eys outright, gets it in one form or another if it doesn't get it in dividends. There will undoubtedly be considerable opposition to the taxation relief also from towns not served by the trolley company but which will have to pay share of the final cost if the state exempts the taxes. On the whole there will probably be quite furore before the bills get through unless the company shows a disposition at the hearings to cut the costs to its patrons.

MACHINISTS WILL FIGHT RAILROADS
 SCHEME TO END

Assurances are given i'll an official circular letter from J. F. Anderson, international vice-president of the I. A. of M., that the organization will never submit to surrender the National Agreement, calling for collective bar gaining. Railroad executives would like to classify the National Agreement with the historical ''scrap of paper" the Germans used to call their time promises to Belgium.
 The l. A. of M. can see a storm arising, Vice-President Anderson writes that the railroad magnates are using their powerful influence to crush organ lzed labor, and he writes this encour- aging paragraph:
 The conference committee of gen. eral managers of the railroads are now before the U. s. Railroad Labor Board in an effort to convince the members of this board as we'll as the public, that the entire national agreement should be taken away from us, and that we should be compelled to revert back to the old method of each craft bartering with each individual railroad for wages and terms of employment; so we have a work i'll hand that Is of as much inn portance as was that of negotiating the national agreement, and no effort or expense will be spared in protecting our agreement and the rights to collective bargaining, which, in line with the gen. eral open-shop agitation, some railroad would like to deprive us of.
 Every effort has been made by us to have created national boards of ad- jutsment, but up to date we have been unsuccessful: We will, however, con- tinue our efforts"
 In the opinion of Hendley Shoot, for the I. A. of M., the action of railroad managers in discharging thousands of employees, of seeking in dividual agreements with "shoD coun- cils," and of trying to wreck the na tiorlal agreement iportends combined effort to disrupt the I. A. of M., and other Internationals allied with the metal and railroad industries.
 Railroad managers may declare Shoots comment on the report that the B. & o. had laid off 1000 men, that the Erie had reduced its clerical force to five days a week, and that railroad executives sought to deprive the l. A. of M, and Brotherhoods sof whatever advances were gained i'll the wartime.
 It may mean fight all along the line, with industry and transportation at standstill," continued Smoot, who Is a veteran, and can recognize Kan sas cyclone when 1t is headed his way.
 Public opinion, Shoot properly be- lieves, will not approve of a return to the poor wages, long hours and tyran- nical methods of management in vogue years ago.

THE HYPERION.

Tonight and tomorrow mark the last presentations of the splendid play, "Tess of the Storm Country" at the Hyperion theatre and the fact that the play has such a popular appeal especially to the younger folk and coupled with the further fact that Saturday is their day and holiday in the bargain the capac- ity of the popular play house is sure to be tested to its last limit
 For the coming week Mr. Po1i is pro- viding a real treat in the dramatic line for he is offering the Hyperion Players i'll last seasons positive me1odramatic sensation, "The Sign on the Door" as played by Marjorie Rambeau and now on tour with that star through the mid dle west.
 Its presentation at the Hyperion the coming week Is positively its initial pre- sentation in stock and comes by reason of the long existing friendship of Mir. Po1i and Al Woods who owns the pro- duction rights and the fact that Mir. Woods has come to know that the pres ent organization of the Hyperion Play CTS is one of the most able in the coun- try.
 The Sign on the Door" is modern melodrama. There is murder but this murder Is committed i'll plain view of the audience and therefore there Is not the mystery which every other big drama of the past season has embodied
 The central figure is young woman who makes a mistake that Is the bane of her existence all through her life She marries wealthy widower with a grownup daughter and prior to and after her marriage she has tried to tell her husband the secret which clouds her past but she never does get to it. And then to her home comes as visitor the man who had deceived her and she finds to her dismay that the man, who had earlier come into her life has caused her step-daughter to become infatuated with him.
 She determines to break up this a11i- ance at any cost to herself and this leads to series of the most sensational incidents, complex situations and at the climax of one act the most unusual and the most unique situation ever seen on the American stage is revealed. Watch for it.
 Although the vita11y big roles are those played by Miss Bristow in the Mari orie Rambeau role, Mir. Fassett and MT. Laurence there are big and vita1ly important roles for every other mem Der of the company and Director Ho1- man can be depended upon to stage the production on par with the original.
 In every way it looks like big week at the popular playhouse and already the demand for seats far eclipses that for any other performance this season.

HARDING FORMALLY DECLARED ELECTED
 PRESIDENT OF U. 5.
Official Figures Canvassed Wed >nesday Shows Plurality
 Over Cox 7,0O1, ,763.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The election of Warren G. Harding as President and of Calvin Coolidge as Vice-Presi- dent of the United States was formally declared Wednesday, at a joint session of the Senate and House in the cham Der of the latter.
 With dull solernnity and without ripple of demonstration such as marked the elections" of President Wilson, the two bodies canvassed the votes cast by the electors chosen at the elections last November 2. The formal vote as declared tallied with the informal re- suits known to the public on the day after election with 4O4 votes for Mr. Harding and MT. Coolidge to 127 for James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roose- welt, the democratic standard bearers.
 Interesting comparisons. of the popu- lar vote for president in 1920 and 1916 are made possible by official figures. They show total popular vote of 26,- 759,7O8 for the candidates of seven par ties as compared with total popular vote of 18,515 $40 for the candidates of five parties in 1916. The returns from Tennessee alone are unofficial
 Hardings plurality over Cox was ZOOl ,763. Four years ago President Wilson's plurality over Charles Evans Hughes was 5o1, 1885. New York state gave Harding vote of 1,868,411, his largest return i'll any one state, as com pared with 76O,744 for Cox Ohio, the state of both the republican and demo- cratic candidates, gave Harding 1,182,- OPP and Cox 780,037 Illinois gave them respectively, 1,420,400 and 534, ,3o4 and Pennsylvania 1,218,215 and 5O3,2O2.
 The 1920 vote for Eugene V. Debs, socialist candidate, was 914,86o, while in 1916 Benson boiled only 585,113 Four years previously, however, Debs rolled up vote. of 8o7,011. The socialist party vote in New York state was 2O3,1 a gain of 157,170 over 1o16 and of 13o,- 733 over 1912. Debs boiled only 28 votes in South Carolina and 38 i'll Idaho. while in Vermont the party filed no nomination.
 Dr. Aaron Watkins, nominee of the prohibitionists, boiled total vote of 187 ,470 a decrease of 33,036 from the party vote of 1916. Out of a total of more than half million votes cast in North Carolina the dry" candidate re- ceiyed H. Georgia gave him 8. Great CT New York, including New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, and Richmond counties, with a total vote of 1,276,768 l boiled 1,660 dry" ballots.
 The total vote boiled by Farley Christensen, farmer-1abor nominee, was 252,425, all cast in IS states. Cox, the socialist-labor candidate, received 42,o5O votes, and Macauley, nominee of the single tax party, 5,747.

RAILROAD WAGES

unreasonable" said the decision, they constitute an unwarranted burden upon the railroads and upon the public. It is, therefore, the duty of this board to use the utmost practicable expedition, consistent with the necessary time for hearing and consideration, in determin- ing whether any of the rules and work ing conditions now in effect are .un- reasonable The board is endeavoring to perform its obligation and will be better able to succeed i'll doing so if it is not further interrupted by the intro duction of unwarranted demands by either party"
 MT. Jewell, in his statement to the board declared that the conspiracy to disrupt unionism, so far as the rail- roads were concerned, was engineeret by financial interests, and absolved from his charges a majority of the men engaged in active railroad management. He admitted that through the publicity which the Atterbury statement attained, the union employees were already face to face with what virtually IS lockout.

WILSON PLANS TO GO INTO EXCLUSION
 AFTER RETIRING

Washington, Feb. 11.-President Will son plans to go into virtual seclusion for time after March A. Freed from the responsibilities of office which have weighed heavily upon him during his convalescence, MT. Wilson, his friends say, will shut himself in for a period of intensive rest and quiet in the new home he has bought here
 He will deny himself to all callers except immediate members of his fam fly, 1t is said, and a very few intimate friends with whom throughout his ill., ness he has kept i'll contact. The formal engagements to be made by the Presi- dent until he shall have thoroughly ad- justed himself to private life after some 10 years in public service. Even the writing which he has planned to do up- on his retirement from the White House will be postponed for several months, his friends say.
 Mir. Wilson is understood to have received a number of invitations to spend part of the summer out of Wash ington, but because of his delight with the pleasant weather here last sumfner, the first which he had spent in this city, it is regarded as unlikely that he will accept any of the invitations.
 For possibly six months, friends of the President, believe, his life will be wholly taken up with recreation. His chief diversion since his illness has been reading. He is said to have practically exhausted the field of detective stories, of which he has always been especially fond, and more recently has taken up novels and light stories. He also has given some time to reading political and historical works and poetry.
 S1rea he racr1r,,rf1or, 1oc cf xXaa1y of hsc old custom of attending the theater, the President is expected to continue as his health improves to find occasion more and more to avail himself of this form of recreation. He also is expected to continue his daily automobile rides.
