ALICE SHER ARE
COLUMBIA'S HITS

Max Bloom, minus Becky" his
horse which he made popular over
the medium priced circuit for years,
but still playing opposite Alice Sher,
repeated his success as a comedian
before Columbia audiences yester-
day. There's just suggestion of
Becky" left, and that a silhouette
on Miss Sher's back Max and Alice
have plenty of fun during their time
on. the biggest hit of their offering
being burlesque contrast on max
ing love, an Englishman calling on
his sweetheart and then a caveman
calling on his love. Max Bloom ter
inmates his vaudeville engagement
this season and then will go into
the movies. 1t is understood that
Becky" will be a factor in his pic
lures so it will not be long before
he will be seen on the screen.
Crowding Max for honors on the
bill are Browning and Davis, the
latter a native of Davenport. This
pair are programmed as Two Pals
From the South" They have
good line of blackface comedy that
keeps the house ripping with
laughter all the while they're on.

at the piano. Harmon, violin viz

LORD LEE UNDER
fire OF PRESS
London Times Says MisquotatiOn
of French Writer is ~Only
Blot On Conference Record.

London, Feb. 13.-On the return
to the British delegation from the
Washington conference, it is ex-
pected steps will be taken to clear
the mystery which still surrounds
the misleading quotation" from the
article OF Captain Castex by Lord
Lee of the British delegation, said
the London Times this morning.
+ Lord Lee, in a speech before the
subcommittee or naval limitation
at Washington, quoted Captain
Castex, a French writer, as having
in an article supported the Ger
man theory of submarine warfare.
1T seems to be felt. and not
without reason" the Times says,
that Lord Lees action on this oc-
casion and his subsequent failu e
to make an adequate apology when
his error was pointed out, form
the only blot on the excellent record
of the British delegation at the
Washington conference. In view of
the divergence between the British
and the original French points VI
view at Washington, both as re-
CARDS capital ships and submarines,
and in view also of the diplomat c
discussions now proceeding be-
tween London and Paris, it is
thought essential this blot should
be removed"
The newspaper adds that the
good faith of Lord Lee is not ques-
toned, but it is felt some pub lc
explanation of the erro. or some
public apology should be made 10

IMMIGRATION LAW
rs CRITICIZED BY
JUDGE THOMPSON

Only immigrants who want to
work and build with America
should be welcomed to these shores,
Judge Floyd Z. Thompson of Rock
Island, associated judge of the Hi
nois supreme court, declared in an
address before the Peoria Bar asso-
citation at its annual Lincoln day
banquet in Peoria Saturday night
Judge Thompson was severe in
his criticism of the present immi-
grafton restriction law. I'VE must
stop making citizens out of I'M
worthy material" he said. 1--WE
welcome our foreign brother OF
merit and worth and proper in
stincts, who wants to work and to
build with u.s."
In proposing the hand picking
of immigrants Justice Thompson
said:
My first recommendation is thai
the government establish at all the
principal ports of embarkation II
the countries that furnish us oul
largest supply of material for new
citizens a department for receiving
applications for a permit to immi-
CRATE to this country. 1t should be
required that the application be or
file 80 days before the applicant is
permitted to sail, so that the inspec-
tors in the department would have
full opportunity to examine the
subject physically, morally and
mentally. There should be a thor
ough physical examination of the
applicant and determine whether
there has been insanity or any other
Unbeatable disease among the i'm
mediate ancestors"
After the immigrant is admitted
Judge Thompson said, the govern
ment should see that he is given
information which will place him in
the right work and living condi-
tions. Each landing should be
based on a condition of deporta-
ton, il the arrival does not make a
declaration of intention to be a cit
iZep within two years, or take his
second papers out within seven
years.
