ties of Germann & Co, Ltd, Ma.
Mia exporters.
Specific investigation is TO be
directed into the payment of
approximately 100000 out of the
proceeds of sale to the firm of
Horace Kelly & Co. OF New York.
Germann & Co. Ltd, was a to.
bacco concern doing business in
the Philippines. The firms prop.
critics originally were seized by
Governor General Harrison, acting
as managing director of the Alien
Property Custodian in the islands.
The firm did a big volume of ex.
port business in the United States.
Before the seizure a contract had
been entered into with the Kelly
firm to take a certain output of
the tobacco products. A condition
OF the contract, It is alleged, was
that the Kelly firm should estab.
lish certain credits OF deposits with
AHlcIlCdH DdnhS 10 secure InS Ter
mann firm against losses. This
credit, ii Is claimed. was never
established to the satisfaction of
Germann & Co, with the result
that up TO the time OF the seizure
no goods had been delivered to
Kelly & Co., under the contract.
Walter f. Olsen & Co, of Manila,
purchased the Germann properties
from the Alien Property Custodian,
paying approximately $1,000, 900.
The sale was revoked by Executive
order. When put up for sale a

This claim, together with other

To OPEN STUDIO.
ON LONG ISLAND.
Alice Brady Will Be Starred in
Two New Productions.
o'Brien Resting"
BY WILLENE TAYLOR.

Copyright, ls22, by Cosmopolitan News
Service.)
NEW YORK. May 29.-The renais-
sance Of motion picture activity in
the East is dawning. II has rech-
ed the point where Famous Players
Lasky admit they will reopen their
Long Island studio in June and keep
it open, bringing from Sunny Cali
fornia many pretty stars and brawny
heroes.
The Famous Players studio here
has been dark for months, and the
company, which has been pessimistic
about reopening 1t, will begin with
two new productions, starring Alice
Brady. 1t is planned to begin work
there with Elsie Ferguson and others
soon afterward. The move is due to
better business.
Eugene O'Brien, sport, shirt open
at the neck, is sailing, swimming,
fishing and sporting away his time
out at Traverse Island on Long Is
land Sound. where he took himself
and his arched eyebrows on his re-
turn from two months of personal
appearances through the middle
West. He has not decided whether
he will make pictures this summer
or just continue resting" until legi-
innate stage work begins next fall.
He thinks he'd rather rest, but like
others, needs the money.
Ethel Granlin, just finished sup
porting Charles Ray in The Tailor
Made Man" has come East. gath
cred up her husband, Ray Small
wood. and hastened to Atlantic City
for a vacation. Miss Granlin, for
merly we'll known m pictures. came
out of retirement TO play In The
Tailor Made Man" She says she
will go back into quiet domestic life,
playing her favorite role, Mrs. Ray
Smallwood.
We met new darling OF the
movies at the Fox studio here-a
dimpled dolly of three summers with
the most appropriate name of Dawn
O'Day. Her cherub figure is sure TO
be seen on many an art title and in
many a cupid pose.
Francis X. Bushman and Beverly
Bayne. those favorites of six years
back and generally known to have
lost out in popularity through pub.
licity surrounding Bushmans divorce
and subsequent marriage to Beverly
Bayne, will once more make love for
the delight of movie fans. Lewis J.
Selznick will produce them in
screen version of Rupert of Hent-
Eau" The two stars have drawn
we'll in vaudeville during the past
season.
Louis Auerbach of the Export and
Import Corporation will leave soon
tor Los Angeles to confer with Col
onel William N. Selig on Selig pro
ductions for the coming year. The
Jungle Goddess" is the last Selig pic
ture released. Colonel Selig, who pos.
sesses one of the most extensive
Libraries OF film rights in the coun-
try, plans to film a number of the
old favorite melodramas, and to elab-
crate on many of his old two-reel
ers. making them into six-reei fea-
lures with the same treatment he
used with The Rosary" "Cinde-
rella," will be one Of the films.

Several schools throughout the
United States are enrolling grown
ups, and fathers and mothers can
now go to school with their chill
dren.
This Is a good idea, but IL must
be embarrassing for a little boy to
see his father have TO stand up In
a corner.
And no little girl wants TO see
her mother being kept after les
sons.
Most teachers won't let the pu.
pills talk In the CLASSROOM and this
will give the old man rest.
When mother wants to bawl
father out she'll have to wait Until
after 3 o'clock or do 1t during re-
cess.
Still, the parents would probably
behave themselves. No old man
wants to get taken over a young
teachers knee.
He'd rather have the teacher sit
ting on his knee.
Instead Of the mother seeing
that the kids get off TO school, the
kids will see that mother gets
there.
II the parents play hockey they'll
have TO bring an excuse from the
cook.
While this idea is a good one. II
will cause a lot of jealousy. No

HARDING TAKES
ALOOF STAND IN
TREASURY ROW
Mellon Understood to Have
Been Given Free Rein
In Readjustments.
BY W. II. ATKINS.
International News Service.

President Harding has decided,
temporarily at least, to keep hands
off in the Treasury patronage row.
1t was learned authoritatively to-
day that Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon has been given virtually carte
blanche authority to go ahead with
his reorganization plans.
In effect. the President has waived
aside the protests of Senator's and
Congressman. who registered strenu.
Gus protests against the action of In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Blair
in deposing some of the appointees of
Assistant Secretary Elmer Dover,
who was appointed at the behest of
these same Congressman to clean
house" in the Treasury.
The Presidents stand was taken
today TO mean that a halt has been
called in Dover's activities toward
Harding -iZing the Government
service" as he himself expressed
II, by kicking out many holdover
Democrats and supplanting them
with Republicans.
Blair in Control.
IL also means that Internal Rev
enue Commissioner David II. Blair,
storm center of numerous patron.
age rows in the last year, will re.
main in control of the 10000 odd
workers in the wide-flung activi-
ties of the bureau.
The upshot of the row may mean
the resignation of Dover, 1t was
said by friends today, despite the
fact that Dover is a close personal
friend and fellow Ohioan of the
Presidents.
Any other decision on the part
OF the President would have meant
Melons resignation, friends of the
secretary said. Apparently the is
sue simmered down to a question
OF Mellon or Dover, and Mellon.
temporarily at least, has won the
decision.
As a matter OF fact, according TO
those on the inside of the patronage
row. Secretary Mellon has offered
his resignation to President Ha. ding
on three different occasions, but
each time has been persuaded to
withdraw il.
Commissioner Blair was busilY en-
gagged today in trying to smooth out
the factional rumpus created by the
abolition OF divisions controlled by
two of Dover's appointees. A. d.
Sumner, of Iowa. and c. c. Childs,
OF Ohio.
Dover. however, ia en- route to
Washington from the Pacific coast,
and his friends were predicting today
there would be more fireworks"
upon his arrival. 1t is understood
Dover will carry his case direct to
the White House.

SEVENTH DISTRICT POLITICS

In deciding to become candidate
for reelection as congressman from
the Seventh Congressional Minnesota
district it is quite apparent that And
rev ]. Volstead is out of touch with
the sentiment of his constituency. He
was defeated at the primaries two
years ago and was later placed upon
the ticket by the Republican COM
mittee as Rev. Qvale was disqualified
because of his violation of the cleo
tion laws. The Republican landslide
in 1920 probably saved Volstead from
defeat. The Herald is willing to give
Mr.. Volstead credit for his work in
connection with temperance legisla-
ton but seriously questions whether
he could be elected again this year.
This view is taken by many of the
substantial citizens of the Seventh
district.
There is a growing sentiment for
Theo. Christensen, editor of the Daw-
son Sentinel as a candidate to sue
coed MIR. Volsead. AS member of
the Minnesota legislature for several
sessions Mr.. Christensen has proved
his worth. He is consistent sup
porter of the temperance question
and has the ability to make an able
representative. He is a fighter for
things that he believes to be right
and from what the editor Of the
Herald knows of the Seventh district
we are convinced that the Dawson
man can keep the district in the Re-
publican fold.

|. Suits brought against Todd county
farmers to force collection of notes
given for dues in the Nonpartisan
League were dismissed when court
convened Monday on request of the
holders of the notes. Thus ended ig
ANONYMOUSLY what is probably the last
effort by the League to get little
easy money. Farmers in Todd coun~
ty, grossly deceived by smooth and
slippery organizers and agents, con
tributed many thousands of dollars
before they found out that they were
being deceived and imposed upon.
When they began to stop payment on
notes and checks given with the dis
tinct understanding that they were to
have the right to stop payment the
League crafty turned the notes and
checks over to third parties and suits
we're started for collection. The FARM
ers were intimmated, bull-dozed,
threatened and insulted by lot of
strangers who drove over the county
leaving summonses for law suits
after the bull doing tactics failed.
This paper, believing in the unfair
ness of the whole effort. exposed the
scheme and advised the farmers to
fight the suits at the same time
prophesying that the suits were
bluffs, made simply to gather in as
much case as possible and that when
it came to showdown the suits
would be dropped-that they would
never go to trial. The request of
Monday bears out The Leaders
prophesy. There is little question but
that for the effort of the Leader and
its timely expose of what was going
on that farmers of the county would
have lost thousands of dollars. 1t was
the publicity which League leaders
knew they would get that prompted
the dropping of the suits.-Long
