SynOds Of Four States Favor
 Seminary At Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 17.-Presby- terians of Georgia today were facing the task of raising $500,000 which is the sole remaining obstacle ill the way of bringing the Columbia Presbyterian Theological seminary from Columbia, $. C.
 The last two of four synods which own the seminary voted yesterday to remove the institution from the South Carolina capital to the Georgia capital.

Last week, the Geor- gia synod approved the move and i'm posed upon itself the task of raising half million dollars to endow the institu- tion. Half of this amount is to be raised by the Presbyterians of Atlanta, the other half by the members of that church in the state outside of Atlanta.

PRISONER-WRITER
 SPURNS RED OFFER
lRx Associated Press. ]

MOSCOW, Oct. 17.-Alexander Krasnotchekoff, former banker-lawyer and primer of the Russian Far Eastern republic, who spent many years in the United States and who in February of this year was sentenced to six years imprisonment for extending banking credit to the "Nepmen" and private in- dividuals, has written four bookes on banking and finance while in jail.
 The soviet authorities have offered him $2,000 each for the volumes and have also offered him a position in a state bank. Kranitchekoff has declined both offers, preferring to remain in prison where, he says he is making more money and enjoying more comfort than he could outside. He is in charge of 12O Russian prisoners who make photo graphic plates and other articles. With them he shares in the profit of the work, percentage going to the state.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-What amounts to a virtual moving picture has been obtained by one of Amer ica's big Cinema corporations and hereafter competitors must keep their cameras off the theme of the holy, graven tablets.
 The decalogue has been the more or less common property of Christians and Jews since the undetermined date when Moses fetched it down the mountain. It appears in all Bibles and is said to be among the most frequently printed bits of prose.
 Now a picturized version has so raised the ten commandments in the public estimation that even mention of them in the advertising broad sheets of rival picture companies has been legally enjoined as an infringe ment on the rights and properties of the company which first put the de- calogue on the screen.
 Printing, publishing or advertising the figure of Moses and his flying beard in the act of stepping into the foothills with the tablets clasped to. his breast are forbidden to the com petitors of the company which pro-

 SEIZED BY REDS
(Continued From Page 1.)

Wells is an American citizen and an intelligent pugnacious one," said Capt. Harold Noice here today in an exciu- siye interview with the North American Newspaper Alliance representative. AS commander of the Stefansson Canadian expedition, which put Wells on Wrangel in September of last year, am in po- sition to say that he would hardly sur render even to an armed force, unless he and his Eskimos were hopelessly out numbered or weakened by illness. l was the last to talk with Wells when we left him on lonely Wrankel Island fourteen months ago.
 "He knew the Russians might come but was not afraid. The soviet had threatened me previous to our starting. Wells knew that I had ignored their orders to stop at Siberia and take on |: guard of Russian soldiers before going to Wrangel The last thing Wells sald to me was: T am going to stick to this island and I don't give damn If l have to stick it out alone
 According to captain Noice, Wells IS a hardy, experienced hunter and trap per. He was left on the island, the only white man in charge of colony ot thirteen Eskimo men, women and chll- dren, to substantiate the British claim to Wrangel, which Stefansson had long urged. Wells, isolated from-the world since September, 1923, can know nothing of Stefansson recent sale of commercial interests in the island to the Lomen brothers, Americans of Nome.
 Chas. Wells was a patriotic Ameri- can, according to Captain Noice. He was born in Union, Penn.. and later lived in Wisconsin, and the state of Washington. He was in charge of val uable furs at Wrankel Island for the StefanssOn company, which has since sold out to Americans. The furs, &C., cording to dispatches from Nome, have been confiscated by the Russian,

Film Firm Gains Tight Hold On the Ten Commandments

duced the first "Ten Commandments" picture.
 All theaters likewise are restrained from advertising the ten command ments or Moses unless they are pre- pared to project upon their screens the bona fide, celluloid ten com mandments as visioned, conceived and accomplished by the Famous Players Lasky corporation.
 Referee Robert l.. Luce has filed a report with the state supreme court recommending that an injunc- tion be granted against several other film organizations. The Famous Players Lasky alleged that the de- fendants had been stealing their stuff and profits by ingenious advertising which made it possible for another picture to be imposed upon the pub lie as the genuine, celluloid ten com mandments as exclusively offered by the former concern.
 ''The defendants own testimony conyicts them of coveting plaintiffs celebrity and their proven acts con. yict them of stimulation of its cele- brous title in order t, sreby to steal it's trade," said Referee Luce in his ODinion.
