Romance of Cleo
and j. Caesar Is
Revised Ala 1922

New York, Feb. 25.-The thing
that made Julius Caesar give up a
kingdom for Cleopatra was a sense
of h1mor. At least, that's the way
John Emerson and Anita LoOs in
terpret history.
Really, that sounds more logical
than the accepted versions of his
tory. Cleopatra was no great beau
ty, if book descriptions are to be
accepted. Others were possessed
OF Just as enchanting physical at
tributes.
Emerson and Loos believe Cleo
patra was something like Con-
stance Talmadge, galgling, loose
limbed girl with a plain face and a
ready sense of humor.
And Caesar was a wizened little
bald-headed IriShman who was
bored stiff by the pageantry Of roy
atty.

New York, Feb. 25.-"Suppose

question to Mrs. Talmadge immedi-
ately after she arrived in New
York from scandal-ridden Holly

And the mother and chum of Nor
ma, Constance and Natalie-three
names made famous on the screen
replied:
Yes. For my greatest ambition
for my daughters has always been
for their own happiness. 1 know
Constance and Norma are happier
in pictures than they would be idle
or in any other type of work, just
as Natalie is happiest in her home.

RAIL STRIKERS
RESENT BLAME
FOR OUTRAGES
Jewell Hints at Other Causes
and Asks for Vigilance
Committee.
BY international News Service.

Striking shopcraft unions all over
the country today were ordered
to form vigilance committees" tC
aid local authorities in placing re
sponsibi.ity for train wrecks and
damage to railroad properties.
Aroused by repeated charges that
strikers have been at the root OF
recent wrecks and bombing out
RACES, Bert NJ. Jewell, strike leader
today issued orders that the cir,
cumstances surrounding every such
occurrence be investigated by a
union official.
II am sick and tired of having
the strikers blamed for every wreck
and fake bombing that comes
along" Jewell said.
ITS outrageous to charge strikers
are responsible for these acts OF
violence. They're not crazy and
they aren't going to destroy the
industry whereby they live. They're
certainly y not going to wreck trains
and kill their friends and sym
pathizers in the train crews. Rotten
equipment Is causing the wrecks
And as for the bombings, why they
happen in the most impossible
places-places a. striker couldn't
get to-surrounded by guards.
Take the blowing UP of the
water main in the Southern rail
way shops at Spencer, n. c.. fol
instance" continued Jewell. THAI
main runs unguarded through five
or six miles OF open country. The
shops are heavily guarded. Anc
. and behold, when the blow vi
came, 1t was seventy.five yard,
inside the yard fence.
"If a striker had wanted to break
that main he could have done Il
by going out into the open coun
try with a sledge hammer and
hitting the pipe a few blows. That
would have done the trick. and
without any loud roar either.
"A funny thing about these ex
plosions Is that they. make a lot
of noise and don't do any damage
to speak OF. It's always the cor
ner of building or. an old freight
car. Why at Huntington, w. Va.
the machine shops have been dy
namited three times without anyon,

Sir John Bradbury and M. Mau.
clere, are now in Berlin investigaty
ing the productivity" of the guar.
antees which Germany will furnish

The reported declaration of Herr
Hermes was significant in view OF
the speech of Premier Poincare at

that France would not rellnquish
her program to seize the Ruhr coal
fields. =.
The negotiations between the
allied representatives and the Ger

down basic principle of the gov.

II was understood that Herr
Hermes would make proposals this
afternoon for voluntary guaran-

De VALERA
FROM DRAWING
: ON u.s.. MONIES
Injunction Issud in N. Y. Re.
strains Irish Leader From
Spending It.
BY Universal Service.

NEW YORK. Aug. 22.-Coincidnt
with the report from Dublin that
Eamon de Valera had ordered the
Irish rebels to stop fighting was a
supreme court injunction here late
yesterday Restraining De Valera from
spending any money that was col
lected in this country for the Irish
cause.
The injunction, which was the re-
suit Of action taken by Michael Col
Inns, commander of the Free State
forces, ties UP S2,300,00O in litigation,
money which was raised by the sale
Of Irish republic bonds.
The specific action is taken against
the Guaranty Trust Company and
the HERMAN National Bank, deposi-
taries for the Irish funds.
In the opinion of many Irishmen
the action, means the speedy end Of
De Valera's fighting machine. II is
known that the irregular comma nder
had been drawing on the account in
his name heavily.
1t Is expected that the next step
will be a public court inquiry In
which all the details of the Irish
bond campaign, which raised between
$G,ooo,ooo and $1,000, 900, will be laid
bare.
The injunction was sought on the
grounds that, De Valera Is against
the present Irish government, he .s
fugitive and is not entitled to the
money.
It was further pointed out that
were De Valera allowed to use the
money 1t would needlessly pro.ong
the civil war in ireland.
When De Valera was In this coun.
try he was generally accepted as be.
ing the head Of the Republic Of Ire.
