ter of developments in the rail

ward peace, President Harding

Association of Railway Executives,
and then with the strike leaders.
headed by B. NJ. Jewell, who reach
ed Washington early in the day
from Chicago.
Mr.. Jewell and his colleagues
went into conference with the pres
ident shortly after Mr.. Cuyler had
concluded an hour and halls dis
cussion Of the strike situation with
Mr.. Harding.
Cuyler Sees Harding.
Mr.. Cuyler, on leaving the White
house, said he had presented the
viewpoint of the railroad manage
ments and that he would remain In
Washington ITO await the pleasure
of the president" but that there
had been no new development in
, the situation.
He indicated that he would re-
turn for another conference after
the president had discussed the sit
uation with the strike leaders.
Pressed for an opinion as to wheth-
er seniority was the sole stumbling
block in the way Of settlement, Mr..
Cuyler said he had seen no state
ment from Mr.. Jewell on the point
and could not therefore say wheth-
er that was the position taken by
the unions. S
Chicago, July 27.-(Bysthe Asso-
; ciated Press.)-Just as the railway
strike seemed to have settled to a
long drawn out and determined bat
| tie, hopes for peace, which have
, waxed and waned as succeeding in
dications pointed to q continued
strife or settlement. we're reviv-
ed by the gathering in Washington
Of strike leaders and railway ex-
ecutives.
Although no Official announce
ment was made, it was believed
that the presence in Washington OF
Bert M. Jewell, head of the striking
shopmen, and his executive coun-
Gil could mean only that they had
gone there from Chicago for q con-
ference with President Harding.

mony was concluded with a dance
In which every one, Indians and

Of David Wark Griffith's productions
has been seen on first run in Topeka
and in consequence, the presentation
at the Grand starting Monday of 1.-THE
Orphans of the Storm will be the
big event of the fall and winter sea-
son. This production is bigger and
by far better than any of the other
masterpieces by the master director
of the screen. 1t is an elaboration of
THE Two Orphans" the play which
was made famous by Kate Claxton
and from the pen of DHennery.
Griffith held an elimination con-
test among the most prominent of
screen artists for places on his cast.
Nearly 800 stars were tried out for
the various parts before he made his
selection. Lillian and Dorothy Gish
are playing the parts of the two or
phans of the story and they are sup
ported by Creighton Hale and Monte
Blue with Joseph Shildkraut, the
great European star who is credited
with being the most handsome man
in the world. This is the first picture
in which the Gish sisters have ap-
peared together since Hearts of The

no absurdities of costume or action
and it's laugh-interesL is cumulative
from the first scene 10 the last. The
