SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
tsrArE cAPrrAL nuREAul

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 13.- Evidence that Senator Underwood | victory at the polls Tuesday means a darwing together of factions of. the democratic patty in Alabama is to be found in expressions from democrats who in the past have fought one another, as prohibitionists or local op- tionists. The breach in the party ranks made by the struggle for prohibition has apparently in large degree been healed over, with the hitherto divided elements brought together on a basis of mutual respect and united stand for law enforcement.
 1. An incident which showed, perhaps better than anything else. the recon ciliation in the party ranks, was noted at Underwood headquarters Tuesday night. Election day had found Under wood supporters voicing confidence in the outcome, as friends of candidates always do on such occasions. There was however an element of uncertainty as to what the returns would show, and whether the factional animosity in the party had been laid to rest as fully as was desired.
 Underwood headquarters were crowd ed on election night with friends of the senator, who watched with intense in terest the reports which came from over the state.
 When enough returns were in to make it certain that Underwood was Alabama's choice for the presidency, a moment of silence in the crowded room was broken by a veteran supporter of the senator, who declared: "I think we ought to make saint out of Dr. Crumpton: we should take the matter up with the legislature and see if it cannot be done"
 Remarkable as this statement was, it was perhaps more remarkable that it was uttered and received without leyity.
 Dr. Crumpton is Baptist, the man who made the declaration quoted is a Presbyterian, and every one knew that the legislature has no power to confer sai4thOOd, anyhow, yet not a laugh greeted the statement. Before the con- versation turned to another subject. practically every man in the room has spoken with respect and admiration of Dr. Crumpton's character, and voiced appreciation of the services rendered Senator Underwood by him, and by other prominent prohibitionists, at a time when so many interests and prej- udices had sought to be arrayed against the senator.

Realistic Wreck OF Ship Staged


A shipwreck was staged so realis-
tically in the San Francisco harbor.
where the Ince company recently
spent fortnight filming special sea
scenes for Thomas HI. Ince's "Anna
Christie that the lifesaving station
mistook the activity for signal OF
distress and quickly sent two big life
boats to the rescue.
During the dense fog, in which a
steamer is wrecked in the collision
with derelict barge, "Matt Burke"
played by William Russell, and sew
eral other stokers on the big ship,
escape drowning by pushing off il a
rowboat. They are later picked up
by a coal barge belonging to "old
Chris" the father of Anna" around
whom the powerful story dramatic
ally unfolds.
As Russell lowered the remaining
small boat, spectators began to gath
er on the shore. When the three men
made the jump for the boat before
the waves carried it beyond their
reach, their was terrified shout
from the people on land. One of the
men had missed the side of the boat
and disappeared in the water. An
alarm was quickly sent in by some
one in the crowd and few minutes
later two lifeboats hit the waves in
"high" and headed for the drifting
men.
Director John Griffith Wray sent
up an agonized wall from the raft
whore the cameras were grinding,
but the rescue boats had already
"hogged' the scene and the "punch
of two hundred feet of film showing
the three men fighting an angry sea
was lost. Before the scene was re-
shot, Director Wray warned all the
life saving stations and Good Sa-
maritans' within a radius of ten
miles around the harbor to ignore
any frantic S. o. S. that might come
from the motion picture "set" in the
bay.
The footage finally obtained car
ries thrills warranted to. shiver the
most blase spine. Gamma Christie" a
First National release, will be shown
at the Princess Theatre in River
Falls next Sunday and Monday.

Gently prepared a Correct Highway
