HAYAkAWA PLAYS A HOPELESS LOVER

"The Man Beneath" Sessu Haya kawas latest Haworth production, is drama which emphasizes in 9 powerful way the ban of blood which stands between the amalgamation of the eastern and western races.
 Dr. Chindi Ashutor, famous Hin. du physician, falls in love with Kate Erskine, a Scotch girl. Although she really loves the Oriental, Kate realizes that marriage would make them both outcasts.
 Ashutor rescues Bassett, the fl ance of Mary Erskinie, Kate's young CT sister, from a band of black land spies by putting Bassett into a state of coma resembling death during a sea voyage from India to Scotland, and having him apparently buried at sea. The spies, who are on board, are deceived, but subse quently discover that Ashutor substi tuted dummy for Bassett's body.
 Trailing Bassett to Scotland, they are about to carry out the vengeance of the society, when Ashutor frus trates their plans. The means which he uses are tinctured strong with Oriental mysticism and esotcric in- fluence, and develop situation that ends in thrilling climax.
 The final scene between the Hindu and the Scotch girl, in which the Oriental comprehends that his love is hopeless, shows Hayakawa in one of those quiet and emotional scenes of which he is master.
 "The Man Beneath" is on for to- night only at the Liberty theatre.

sition Of Imperial Russia was uni

was less than three billions of dol
lars, and normal receipts far ex-
ceeded expenditures, despite the
fact that the army Of the Car was
three times as great as that by
which Lenine maintains his rule Of
terror. There was graft, Of course,
and outrageous waste. but none
questioned the soundnesS Of the
empires credit. Today Russia is q
ruin, financially, economically, ed
ucationally-in every sense, indeed,
unless it be the military.
The reason? Russia's manpower
is not seriously impaired. Her
natural resources, agricultural and
mineral. are OF incalculable value.
Can it be only that communistic
rule has destroyed the incentive for
honest toll because it, denies the
ancient right to work and plan for
those for whom one cares?

nual salary paid TO its employees,
including bonus, has been ST. ,440,
While the average salary paid by
10 of the largest New York banks
is $500 to $500 higher than that.
And these are evidently peak av-
erages. At the end OF 1918, the
bank in question was paying an az
erage of $ ,095 a year.
The matter is OF interest mainly
because OF the light, it throws on
bank salaries in general The above
salary average includes the really
big salaries paid to the executives
at the head Of the institutions. The
pay OF the ordinary employee is
therefore considerably less than
the figures indicate.
1t is probably true, and has been
for many years, that the bulk of
bank employees earn less than

INJrNC4YoNs AND STRIKES

1t must be said, in all respect for
the courts, that the injunction
granted by Judge Anderson of In
dianapolis restraining the United
Mine Workers from trying to union
ize the West Virginia coal fields is
unfortunate. It may be in strict
accord with the law, and even in
strict accord with fundamental hu-
man justice, though some reason
able doubt may be allowed on eth
.er score-and yet it is unfortunate,
because it seems likely to do more
harm than good
The miners feel outraged. That
may be unreasonable of them, but
that is the way they feel. Human
facts are just as much facts as legal
or economic facts. The very word
.4u)uncr,on'' is red rag to labor,
and labor is particularly disposed
TO see red in decision Of this
le;nd, Which seems to aim body
blow at unionisnl.
The result may. be great coal
strike. The whole country heaved
& sigh Of relief when the railroad
strike was stopped. A coal strike
would be almost as disastrous. In
deed, it might amount eventually
to the same thing. Must we face
such a strike now, at the begin
ming of winter?

rScoSFERRED POWER.

Speaking Of the lack of power
specifically conferred on the Rail
road Labor Board to prevent trans
portation strikes, the New YORK
World remarks that neither has the
Supreme Court Of the United States
ever had power explicitly con-
ferred on it to declare an act OF
congress unconstitutional. Yet ev-
erySody knows that the Supreme
Court has used such power over and
over again, ever since John Mar
shall set the precedent.
LeSal precedent is no less effec-
tive than enacted; law. The often
er a thing has been done, the less
question there is about it. The I'M
po,tant thing, in connection with
any desired innovation, is TO have
the precedent once established.
Now that the Labor Board has tax
IN matters into its own hands, and
done this with regard to a railroad
strike. it will be easier hereafter.
That is, as long as public opinion
supports the precedent. Even the
supreme Court could not long con-
tInue to annual acts of congress II
the public seriously objected.
AN this, however, affords no con-
vincing reason why congress should
not confer on the Labor Board, or
some equivalent body, explicit pow
er 10 invoke the authority of the
United States government, when
necessary, in order to prevent the
tvine up Of transportation by either
the, operators or the employees,
pending the settlement of dispute
or in defiance Of an award. In SO
important matter it is we'll to have

MYSTERIOUS Deaths
at AllendaIe
Four Members of Lee Family
Die Within a Few Days

Allendale, Nov. S.-One Of the
most mysterious affairs ever oc-
curing in this country came to
light this morning when the
fourth member OF the family Of Joe
Lee. a constable Of Magistrate S.
w. Owens, living at Baldoc, a town
about four miles nom here, sue
cumbed to a mysterious illness last
night. Previous to the death Of
the wife of Lee last night three Of
the children of the family had died,
all within less than a week. The
only members Of the family now
alive are a four months old baby
and Lee himself. Lee was taken to
the University hospital, in Angus
ia, Ca, this morning upon advice
of physicians who are unable to
diagnose the case TO their satisfac-
ton
An inquest was held over the
body of Mrs Lee this morning and
the vital organs Of the woman sent
to the state laboratory for analysis.
The pee ,lliarity OF the affair lies in
the fact that every member Of the
family has been affected the same
wav. In addition to this it is re-
ported that all the live stock
around the home Of Lee has been
affected. Two boys have died. All
the poultry is said 10 have died.
The facts. together With other cir
cumstances, have brought out the
opinion in this section that the
family has in some way been
poisoned and the stomach of one of
the victims was sent Wednesday to
the laboratory of the state board Of
health for examination. The board
further has been requested to send
to the scene an expert to examine
at the source the possibility Of the
poisoning theory. This in all prob
ability will be done and correct
diagnosis OF the case be in hand in
a few days.
One physician in attendance on
the family went SO far as to admit
that the symptoms in all the cases
were almost identical to those evi-
dent in arsenic poisoning. The the
ory Of poisoning is given further
credence by the fact that the vic
tins themselves firmly believed
that such is the case and go fur
ther and state that the poisoning is
the result Of foul play and go so far
as TO give the name Of the alleged
poisoner. It seems that Lee or
some member Of his family had
had a difficulty with nearby
neigi1bor and there was bad blood
between them. Lee voluntarily
gave the name Of the person sup
posed to have committed the crime
alleged. So far 10 action has been
taken officially due to an utter lack
of evidence. Lee seems to think,
and the peculiar circumstances
arising from the death of the live
stock about the place bears this
out in a way, that the we'll, from
which the supply of water was ta-
ken, mad been poisoned. 1t is for
the purpose Of examining the wa
ter in the we'll and to look into

Planning Relief For

Columbia. Nov. S.-To request
the state legislature to authorize q
bond issue sufficient to complete
a state system Of hard surfaced
roads, and to urge the various
county seats to handle the unenl-
ployment problem for themselves,
keeping their jobless at home,
were the two main decisions
reached by the conference Of may
ors and others interested in the
unemployment situation in the
state, which was held in Governor
Cooper.s Office at noon Tuesday.
Governor Cooper stated that he
would present the resolution Of the
conference regarding the state road
system to the legislature. which
meets in January. No suggestion
as to the size Of the bond issue was
made, but it was agreed that the
construction OF q state system of
hard sufaceG roads would not Only
aid the state in many ways, giving
it real system OF highways, but
would provide employment for
hundreds of men.
