PICKFORDNOT TODO
FAUST AS MOVIE
Our Mary VIII Appear inI
'R0Sita' Cast,
By IANTES " DEAN


NEW YORK, March 3.-Mary
Pickford has abandoned the filming OF
Faust" although Ernest Lubitsch
was engaged as director and prepa-
rations We're in fun swing. Definite
reason isn't given, but from one
source I learn that exhibitors said
they didn't want it.
If that IS so, there seems to be
little meaning to the declaration Of
principles signed by Mary the other
day. The declaration read, in part,
as follows:
I'VE. the undersigned, already
united in spirit by a definite CON
structtve purpose and an earnest de
sire to let nothing defeat the fulfill
ment Of this purpose, possessing IN
Limited faith in the splendid future of
H@e motion picture industry, provided
no sinister, influence creeps into cor
rode or poison 1t, and recognizing
without arrogance our own power TO
determine what the destiny Of this
new art Of the screen shall be, do
herewith pledge ourselves to an even
closer fraternity Of mutual confidence
and endeavor."
And more. while we make on pre-.
tension that we are the sole custo-
dams of the welfare of the industry,
We may, with concerted action and
united front, prevent any influence or
chain Of Influences from DETECTING
US from our avowed purpose, so that
this new art may march tc its high
destiny without the dictation Of com
mercial interests or any considera-
-a1- . h. e
ideals to which we stand dedicated. ="
1t sounds pretty. like the preamble
TO a high school frat constitution.
but what does It mean? For what is
it. a smoke screen?

GIaring Headlights

Glaring headlights are especially
dangerous on rainy nights. Driving
over a smooth wet road, the light
flashes back into the motorists eyes
and blinds his vision.

BANK CASHIER AND
ATTORNEY ARE CITED

Refusal to obey the orders of the
court by turning over all the cash,
papers, books and assets of the Allied
Land and Livestock company to the
duly appointed receiver, John G.
Huntington, resulted in John d.
Cameron, cashier of the Stock
growers and Ranchers bank of Reno,
and L. N. French, his attorney, be-
ing cited before Judge Thomas F.
Moran for contempt of court, re-
ports the Journal.
Huntington made demand for the
funds and books of the company on
November 81, following his qualify
ing as receiver by filing a bond in
the sum of 100000. He was ac-
companied to the bank by Captain
James Fife of the Reno police de-
partment, but was asked by Gamer
on, he says, to wait until the fol-
lowing day when he would give an
answer.
On November 20, the complaint
recites, Huntington, accompanied by
Officer William Dean, again made
demand, and was informed by Cam
eron that upon the advice of his
attorney, L. N. French, the order
would not be complied with.
Cameron, the answer to the cita-
ton reads, claims that as he has
been appointed administrator of the
estate of the late M. D. Fairchild,
who served as trustee for the Allied
Land and Livestock company, he is
entitled to retain possession of all
funds held by Fairchild as trustee,
and the matter will come up in
proper form with the settlement of
his estate.
Hearing upon the contempt
charges instituted by Receiver Hunt
ington, has been postponed until
Wednesday morning, December IL.
When the matter was called be-
fore Judge Moran, Attorney Will
liam Mcknight, representing Hunt
ington as receiver, objected to At
torneys Cooke, French & Stoddard
appearing for the Allied Land and
Livestock company. The same OBJ
lection was made by Attorney A.
Grant Miller, representing Bertrand
Malta, who was instrumental in
forcing the Allied Land and Live
stock company into the hands of a
receiver.
Malta is suing to recover $500
for services rendered and $500 on
two notes that were given him by
the company. The company is sup
posed to have about $4,000 on de-
post, while the indebtness will ap-
prpximate $4,000.

DIR. Williams purchased what is
known as the "Pohnne Yount Home
stead" and has been living there
with his wife. Mrs. Williams has
been in Vegas for time and her
husband had been in for supplies,
and on the l4th started on his re-
turn trip horseback and leading a
pack animal When they were
about two miles from home the
pack horse became unruly and
kicked Mr.. Williams in the left leg,
breaking both bones.
The man rode on, but the pain
from the injured limb striking
against the brush was almost more
than he could stand. When the
home ranch was reached he man.
aged to get off his horse and tried
to crawl, but found it impossible, so
he again with difficulty regained his
mount. He roped several horses
and drove them into the corral, un-
loaded the pack horse and then, dis
mounting with the aid of a spade
which he used for crutch, I'M
saddled the horse he had been
riding.
With his ak he cut splints and
bound up his leg, and began to
make preparations to get to town.
His car was lacked up and in
need of a few repairs, so that some
time had to be spent before he
could at last crawl into it and be-
gin his long 100-mile ride over the
desert roads to Vegas. Fifteen
miles from his home he called on
friend to drive the car for him.
They reached Vegas at 8 the next
morning and the injured man was
placed in the Las Vegas hospital.
Both bones were protruding
through the flesh and the leg was
badly swollen. The sufferer was on
the verge of nervous exhaustion
from his trying experience. He is
recovering his usual health and the
bones are beginning to knit. He
will soon be able to 60 home.

FREAK EFFECTS
OF BIG BLAST

Returning from the scene of the
big blast near Bonner Lake, where
the side of a mountain was blown
away by charge of $4,000 pounds
of giant and black powder, J. H.
Slower. of Reno, in charge of main
tenance of telegraph lines for the
Southern Pacific, told an interesting
story of the "freak" of the terrific
explosion, says the Gazette.
A block of wood about eight
inches square and an inch thick was
found impaled on one of the COM
pany's wires, Mr. Slower said. The
wire penetrated the middle of the
block as though a hole had been
bored in it by a human hand and
the wire had been run through. An
examination of the piece of wood
failed to reveal any sign of a cut
from the outer edge, Mr.. Slower
said. 1t struck with such force
that the seam closed Immediately
and left no impression.
The force of the explosion, &C
cording to Mr.. Slower, cut v-shaped
path in the timber a half mile long,
sweeping the terrain clean, except
for one huge tree trunk, which,
shorn of its limbs, stands as sem
tinel in the middle of the area.
One huge rock, after travelling three
quarters of mile through the air,
imbedded itself in the ground,
leaving hole large enough to bury
an automobile. Telegraph and
telephone poles and wires a half
mile away were wrecked and tenn
porary cables are being used until
the damage can abe repaired.
Mr.. Slower said $4,000 yards of
rock were moved in the blast. The
new highway at that point, he stated
probably would be ready for use
late in the summer of 1924.
Mr.. Slower also brought infor-
nation that highway crews are
actually at work on the new Truckee
river road. They are employing
steam shovels to remove the earth
at two points, he said.
