week when Addie Penfield, alias
Addie Mcdonald alias Addie Nc.
Gee pleaded guilty to a charge
sof bigamy and was held for the
january term of Halifax Superior
Court under three hundred dol

+ Evidence showed that the de-
fendant had married Dave McGee
on October %, 1921, having pre-
!. viously married Jack Mcdonald
fon May s, 1921, without having
gone through the formalities Of
the divorce court.
Dave McGee was also held on a
charge of immoral relations with
Mrs. Mcdonald, evidence being
brought out that at the
time he econsummated hismarriage
with Mrs. Mcdonald he knew of
her former marriage and her
divorceless state. 1t was three
hundred dollar bondi in his case,
and both defendants in default
were committed to Jail to await
trial.
Moses Sims, .colored, charged
with the larceny of flour, cakes

change about him.
R. L. Cooper, driving without
sufficient lights and with muffler
cut out, paid a fine of $500 and
costs.

"The Man of the Forest"
At Peoples Theatre

while the everyday facts of life.
and tread a golden path of adven.
ture utterly forgetting the
world and its cares in the thrills,
the romance, the pathos, the hu-
NOR and the breath of wide spaces
and strange lands from Q Zane
Grey wonder book. in a magnifi-
cent photoplay by Benjamin B.
Hampton? Then drop IN at the
Peoples theatre, and see THE
Man of the Forest" the newest
Hodkinson release, which will be
shown there on Thursday Jan. II.
1922.
The Man of the Forest" is the
latest photoplay of a Zane Grey
novel, and it brings to life on the
screen one of the authors latest
and best-selling books. It is an
other powerful Benjamin B.
Hampton-Zane Grey combina-
tions of the past, ''The U. P.
Trail, " Riders of the Dawn"
and Desert Gold," which Hod-
kinson gave the theatre patrons
of the world.
A powerful cast of the screens
best artists is seen not only in the
principal roles, but in every role,
no matter how small, so that each
of the authors story characters
gets the benefit of a splendid in
depreciation. Carl Gantvoort has
the title role, "Milt Dale" Claire
Adams, Robert McKim, Jean
Hersholt, and Eugenia Gilbert
also have wonderful roles, while
Fredrick Starr, Charlotte Pierce,
Frank Hayes, Harry Lorraine and
Charles Murphy contribute great
work in the most important Sec
ondary characterizations.
In the naming the cast of THE
Man of the Forest" one must
not forget three other actors of
much Importance, though not
famous by their individual names.
One is a large mountain lion.
Another is a grizzly bear, and
the third is a big dog. Each one
has its acting part, the lion best
of all, perhaps, for, like the
it is the pet of Milt Dale,
and it is seen doing such things
as leaping from the roof of a
house upon the Snake Anson"
of the story. 1t occupies a bunk
in Dale's cabin, and with Las
Vegas Crank Hayes, who is
afraid OF his friends pet, it fig.
ures in some splendid comedy
scenes.
"The Man of the Forest" is
a clean, wholesome drama of
modern outdoor life. 1t is thrills
and suspense from beginning to
end. with some startling situa-
tions that are fresh to the screen.
Pathos and humor, red-blooded
thrills, and tender love scenes
one another and blend
into the whole, making this big
special pbotoplay one of the fin
est adventure documents the
screen has ever offered.
Mr.. Hampton was assisted in
the production of THE Man
of the Forest" by William H.
Howard Hickman, Eliot
Howe, and E. Richard Schayer;
Joseph Durbray and F. H. Sturg-
is. photographers; H. W. Libbert
and Robert Odell, technical ar
fists. The splendid subtitle
paintings are from the brush of
the celebrated artist, Ferdinand

EGYPTIAN COTTON
DEBATE ON AGAIN
SmOuldering Controversy Is
Famed to Flame by New
British Statement.

The long smoldering controversy
over Egyptian cotton shipments TO the
United States has been famed to
flame again by recent statement OF
Sir Frederick Lewis. chairman of the
Prince Line and of the British Cham
ber of Shipping. to the effect that the
Liverpool Conference Lines had vol
UNFAIRLY allowed American ships to
participate in the cotton trade after
the Egyptian shippers had voluntarily
contracted to place all their business
with the British lines.
Proponents of the ship subsidy bill
have contrasted Sir Frederick's fire.
ouent assurances of a fair deal to
American shipping with the action Of
the Prince Line and others in the cot
ton controversy and have declared that
only the threat of application of the
retaliatory features of the Jones act
caused the British Conference to loosen
its strangle hold en- Egyptian cotton
shippers. To this Sir Frederick has
replied:
''When the Shipping Board hid for
the 1922 contracts their rate for the
United States ports was precisely the
same as that quoted by the British
liners, but their rates were submitted
simultaneously by each party by tender,
and practically all the shippers pre-.
ferred to continue their contract ar
rangements with the British liners, as
they no doubt recognized that the ad-
vantages they were thereby able To
secure more than outweighed the com
paratively small disadvantage in the
freight to the United Kingdom
TO the contrary. Winthrop l.. Marvin.
vice-president and general manager OF
the American Steamship Owners Asso-
citation. said yesterday that the Ameri-
can bids we're % shillings TO the United
Kingdom and 40 shillings to the United
States. The bids of the Liverpool Con-
ference liners were 40 shillings TO the
United Kingdom and 60 shillings to the
United States.
Nevertheless" said Mr.. Marvin,
'such was British dominance over the
Alexandria Produce Association and
other business interests at Alexandra
that the contract for the entire shipments
of Egyptian cotton was given to the Liv-
erpool Conference Lines. under an eXclu-
sive contract dated June 2, 1921. at rates
understood to be considerably below the
original proposals.
From then on until November OF last
Year, according to Mr. Marvin. the Ship
Ing Board was engaged in negotiations
which were broken off from time TO
time, during which the board insisted
on the right of American ships to par
ticipate in the carrying of the cotton,
threatened to cut rates still further
threatened retaliation through the in
vehement of the Jones act, and at
length broke down the British resist
ance. The ultimate settlement gave to
American ships one-half the Egyptian
cotton moving to the United States.

GRAIN ACTIVITY MARKS
SHIP CHARTER MARKET
Tonnage Offered Is Ample for
Orders in Quiet Week.

The ship charter market had quiet
week and tonnage offered was ample
for the available shipment orders. The
only activity worthy of note was in
grain and West Indies time charters.
Rates have held steady despite the pres
sure OF idle tonnage.
In grain there were even less fixtures
reported than the previous week. which
also had registered a pronounced de-
cline. Demand for tonnage for Mediter-
ranean points has fallen off especially,
though there has been a partially COM
peusating revival in United Kingdom
and Continental business. Top quota
tions are shillings a quarter from the
Atlantic Range to the United Kingdom
and IL cents a 100 pounds TO the Con
tinent with 3 pence a quarter and :
cents 100 pounds extra from Montreal
These apply to ships for last half NO
vember or December loading. and ves-
sells available for immediate loading are
not obtaining quite as good rates.
A few orders for Mediterranean ports
are still available at 21 cents from
Montreal, or 1871 to II cents from the
Atlantic Range for November loading.
Further Greek business Is expected TO
develop shortly the probable rate viii
be about 20 cents from the Atlantic
Range 10 one port OF Greece. with the
usual option OF two ports at 1 cent
extra. The situation at Montreal Is re-
ported clearing rapidly and during the
week more ships sailed than entered
the port. but further delays are antici-
pated before normal conditions have
been restored
In coal there is still a limited demand
for average size ships to bring British
cargoes at about shillings a ton. and
the call continues urgent for vessels
from Sydney. G. b., TO Montreal. at 50
cents to 90 cents ton. a small cargo
Is available from Virginia to Montreal
az s1.35 a tone. with free discharge. but
otherwise there is no export demand.
Several inquiries have been circulating
for sugar tonnage from Cuba and San
Domingo to the United Kingdom and the
Continent for December and January
loading and at least one definite order
has developed. which may mean a re-
vIval OF this long somnolent trade. Ship
pers' ideas OF rates have been around
rs shillings a ton. but lhis has failed
20 bring on any stampede OF tonnage
and the figure may be advanced to meet
owners views OF about 20 shillings as
tho proper rate.
Time charters are limited to West
Indies trade. where rates seem to be
firming gradually under the pressure Of
a steady demand for handy sized boats
