Credits Coolidge And Underwood With Hon. esty But Declares Re- suit Would Become Known As ''The Rape Of The Treasury"
Exhorts President Not to Turn It Over to Wall Street-Postal Bill, Op- position to German Treaty and Appropria- tions Come Up.

Washington, Dec. 17.--Asserting that the Underwood Muscle Shoals bill would make Teapot Dome look like a pinhead" and Doheny and Sinclair look Hike pikers," Chair man Norris of the senate agriculture committee told the senate today that enactment of the Legislation would later become known as "the rape of the treasury"
 "oh, President Coolidge" shouted inc Nebraska senator "how can you, just after receiving the vote of con- hdence from the people offer this great position such proposition! At the oars and heading this great ship, straight into Wall street.
 Skids Are Creased
 The Nebraska senator declared Athe skids had been greased and the steam roller brought up," to defeat his own bill, providing government ownership and operation. The op- position to his measure. he sald' planed to turn Muscle Shoals over to some private corporation.
 "Giving President Coolidge credit for his honesty in every move ne said, and giving Senator under- wood the same credit, it seems the inevitable conclusion will be that if this bill is enacted it will be known ifs the rape of the treasury"
 He compared Muscle Shoals to s' "erest ship" with the American fay swinging at the mast and the Cool idge republicans tugging away"
 The General Electric Company would get the property if the Ala bama Power Company obtained It. he asserted.
 Explain Our Bill.
 After two years of consideration Senator Norris said, the agriculture committee bad brought his bill to the senate where 1t was confronted with the opposition of the admins tration.
 Tt Is not fair and 1t is not con- IuClNe to IuluIe clllciChSI' St S4'A mittees of congress" he said 'to have the work of our committee condemn ed at an outside midnight confer ence-either on the Mayflower or elsewhere"
 "oh, President Coolidge" he ex- claimed "how can you lead these confiding, these trusting, these obe- dient senators into an arena to use their votes as you would herd sheep Into a corral"
 If the Underwood bill is adopted" he added, 'it will be possible for the lessee to defy every single one of the state regulatory agencies"
 Tt may be Mir. Mellon will manu- facture aluminium there and get a subsidy from the government as we'll as a high tariff"
 Senator Norris said the Alabama Power Company and all other power companies were in a trust.
 There isn't a place in the United States" he said, where the tn- fluence of this might trust isn't felt and the whole control goes back to Wall street"

Treaty Opposition.

So strong an opposition to. the German commercial treaty has de- veloped in the senate foreign rela- tions committee that sub-commit- tee was delegated today to confer with Secretary Hughes with a view to notifications.
 The treaty was submitted at the last session as a model for com mercial arrangements with other countries. Senators object primar- fly to those provisions under which the United States could not discrim- mate in tariff duties on goods hauled in American ships.
 Some of the leaders declared 1t would be impossible to muster a two-thirds vote in the senate to rat fly the pact in its present form even if the committee reported it favorably.
 The committee did not consider the world court proposal at today's session.
 Several bills pertaining to the postal service among them a meas ure giving the postmaster general wide powers to establish and main tain air mail routes had right of way today in the house. As result of the naval appropriation bill, taken up yesterday was laid aside for the day.

Concerning D. w. Griffith.

In directing Mr.. Griffith first allows
the players to interpret the action for
themselves, so that their portrayal
may be natural. From this basis he
improves, suggesting movements and
meanings. Only in intensely dramatic
scenes does he ever raise his voice,
and then only az emotional incentive.
While the action proceeds his face is
q pathway for the quick and flowing
emotions the scene reveals, rejecting
every phase of every character.
His attitude toward his players is
that of persuasive partnership, first
following their original reactions,
then sharing with them, gradually
expanding the mood so that he leads
them in molding q scene for the per-
He corrects, but seldom criticizes
and never denounces. an uncompli-
mentary thing he says 1T to the per-
son, and not to others. His tolerance
and patience are two capital features
of his rare ability to handle others.
Rex Ingram. famous director of
''The Four Horsemen of the Apoca-
lypse," said: I'VE all follow Griffith.
He did everything first, and the other
directors do them over again as best
they can. Motion pictures owe every.
thing to this man."
Yet with all his successes, Mr.. Grif-
fifth remains poor man.

II W. GRIFFITH is a figure in the
film world known by name to
millions of picture fans. but person
ally to few. He makes few personal
appearances" and hts immediate init
mates are his staffs, at the enormous
studios at Mamaroneck. N. p, and
those in his New York ofdces.
Griffith was born in Kentucky, but
his residence now Is at the Mamaro-
neck studios, where he has estab-
Hshed a sea-walled park for picture
making, one of the show places along
Long Island Sound. Here he makes
all his pictures, which, critics say,
are unsurpassed for emotional in
tensity, poetic beauty and dramatic
suspense.
Mr.. Griffith is'in his early forties
five feet and eleven inches tall, and
weighs about $50 pounds. He Is alert.
decisive in movement. His vitality
and endurance are premiums of ex-
cellent health and indomitable will.
His studio is his home. For weeks
he never leaves the grounds. Up at
1880 every morning, he works stead
lily until from IL to 1 o'clock every
night. 1t is typical OF him that he
hastens, but never hurries; moves
quickly, but never rushes.
