BRITISH CLOSE
J. 8. CONSULATE
Say Officials Were Too Active
in Soliciting Business for
u. S. Ships

LONDON. Sept. 1 (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-The closing OF the
American consulate at Newcastle
on-Tyne, following cahcellation OF
the consular esequators by the Brit
ISL government, arrapently is FOR ar
indefinite period.
The consulate, It is learned. has
been closed since Tuesday.
Fred c. Slater, the consul, fas
been ordered to Corona, Spain, AID
Russell NJ. Brooks, vice consul @
Dresden. The archives have been
transferred to the consulate at Bull
which is the nearest one to New
castle.
The action of the British govern
ment is said to have been taken on
the grounds that the consular en-
Gals were unduly active in soliciting
business for the vessels of the United
States Shipping Board and that at
tempts were made to coerce British
subjects into using American VS.
sells instead OF British registry.
This was denied by Mr., Slater
in an interview last night. The
British government six weeks ago
advised the American government
that it had proof Of abuse by Consul
Slater and Vice Consul Brooks of
their positions, that it had decided
reluctantly to withdraw their pa
pers. The government stated also
that 1t would defer acton for a
month or two, as the American gov
eminent was conducting its W ne
gotiations and might decide to re-
move the officials itself.
The American governments re-
ply was that il does not consider
any of the allegations suhstanti-
ated.
In the British communication to
Washington several specific cases
were cited in support of the charges
of discrimination.

sion Governor Edwin P. Morrow an
nounced that he will be glad to be
notified promptly of any emergency
which demands immediate atten-

In commenting on the closing Of

'The State Committee remained
in operation during the last two
weeks, although without authority
to control cars, in order to protect
prices as far as possible. 1t has been
enabled, however, to secure for the
consumers of Kentucky a great per-

PEARL WHITE IN "a VIRGIN
PARADISE

IA Virgin Paradise" the stupen-
dous William Fox special which
made sensation in New York, will
be seen at the Alamo and Grand

is a story of the jungle and of civil
lied hyprocisy, written for the
screen by Hiram Percy Maxim, the
famous inventor of the Maxim
silencer' and other devices. The

try place on Long Island, New York,
to a lonely isle in the South Seas,
where volcano destroys the entire
population with the exception of
the infant heiress to $10;0OO,0OO
and her native nurse.
AS a story of human passion and
emotion "A Virgin Paradise" is in
tense AS a spectacle it is tremend-
Gus, both in the tropic scenes, the
devastation of the island in a vol
canic eruption and the life of the
girl with lions, apes and other wild
animals as her only companions, and
in the wild scenes on the Long
Island estate. The production of
this spectacular special was directed
by j. Searle DawIey.
Pearl White, the famous screen
actress, is compelled to keep herself
in the pink of physical condition, in
order that she may be- able to play
the exacting roles required of her.
For instance, in the new picture,
"A Virgin Paradise" Miss White
enacts the role of girl raised on a
South Sea island and accustomed to
outdoor life. Those who admire
Miss Whites work will see her at
ler best in "a Virgin Paradise"
