F|RPO CASE IS UP 10 CURRAN
Deportation Likely Ii Commls-
 sion Orders It

| New York City. Aug. S0.--Aftida- wits supporting the charge of Canon William Sheafe Chase that Firpo, heavyweight pugilist, has violated the American immigration laws in bringing a woman 10 this country have been placed with Commission CT of Immigration Curran, according to Bernard II. Sandler, attorney for Canon Chase. Commissioner Cur ran is Investigating. Firpo's depor- tation is a possible outcome.
 Commissioner Curran said yester- day Canon Chase had furnished him information early in the week which caused him to start investigation. and that Thursday, after Canon Chase had visited Washington, Com- missioner General Husband sent Mir. Curran word to make sure the mat ter was being looked up.
 The attorney for MT. Chase said the affidavits provided names of wit nesses who would substantiate the charges. He said Canon Chase and he had conferred with Secretary of Labor Davis, who ordered immc- diate investigation.
 Mir. Sander said he told one of Commissions Curran's assistants Thursday that the witnesses men toned in the affidavits were being intimidated and threatened and that evidence valuable to the govern ment had been destroyed.
 Sander declared the deportation of Firpo is now up to Commissioner Curran and that if warrant should be issued to deport him, nothing could stop it except an injunction from a federal judge, which he did not believe would be granted.

LEGAL PEOPLE ON
 SEA IN BIG STORM
Mrs. MCKnerney and Daughter on 'HOneriC' During Hurricane

After experiencing the full force 1 Of the worst Atlantic storm in years
 Mrs. r. j. McKnerncy and daugh- ter, Dorothy Of 49 Grand street | have returned safely home from a trip to Europe. They were aboard the liner "Homeric" when the storm struck. gradually increasing in fury until the waves assumed such gi- gantic proportions that if seemed from the intervening troughs that the ship would be swallowed up by the next crest.
 Water broke over the bow and sides of the boat. smashing and carrying away all the lifeboats on one side and battering in port holes. The decks had to be cleared of passengers. but even then there was no safety, as the waves tossed the ship about so violently that several were injured, one woman breaking her arm.
 MT. Mcknerney says that hard ened transatlantic passengers were sickened by this storm but were not allowed to remain long in their room. for everybody was gathered together, the ships band played, and all that was possible was done to take the peoples minds off the storm outside. The nurse who at tended Mrs. McKnerney told her that she had never seen storm as bad as this one, while many of the veteran sailors made similar state ments.
 When the "Homeric' came into port it passed the Arabic, which suffered the worst of any liner caught in the tropical hurricane. Mrs. McKnerney says that one side was badly smashed in and torn and that the ship was an apparent ruin.

WORK has started in France on
W the Paramount production of
Sardou'S Madame Sans-Gene," with
Gloria Swanson. This is one of the
most fascinating episodes in the his
tory Of Franco. the story of the Al
satan laundress who befriended Ma
poleon in his days of poverty and who
was remembered by him in his days
of prosperity and power.
It was while Napoleon was young
lieutenant of artillery that he first
met Catherine Upscher. She had
laundry in the Rue SITS. Anne. in
Paris. and there the young officer
took his soiled clothes. Incidentally.
it was in this street during the re-
cent war. that the American provost
marshal had his headquarters. Many
an American soldier who went
"a. VOL" spent several nights al
most next door to the spot where
Napoleon had his washing done.
Catherine was pretty and oulspok-
en-. She didn't know-and if she had
known, probably would not have
cared--that her impecunious custom
er was one day to be the greatest
figure in the world. Napoleon lived
at the Hotel des Partiots. near her
shop, and he owed her as welk as
other tradespeople Il long score.

Well, he can.
Long before Mr.. Love went on the

have any money. His family didn't
want him TO do that work SO he just
picked up and left home. He Went to
London and took diggings (rooms)
with another chap and worked and
worked. He was very fond of horses
and would stand on a street corner in
London and draw them all cab horses
too. He got a job illustrating for a
boys paper. which paid for his liT-
ing. and nights he would spend in the
National Gallery studying military
costumes of the present and past.
After a year of this intensive work
he had saved enough to go to Paris
and study. Paris, the height of every
artists ambition. 1t was downright
drudgery there as models were to be
paid for. but he won through and was
noticed by man working for one OF
the big newspapers in London. He
offered him a job as war correspond
ent, this being the time Of the Russo
japanese war. With what JOY he
rushed back to London and there his
study OF military costume came in
handy.
He became we'll known for his mar
velous horses and correct uniforms.

makes necessary the omission of the
usual added attractions.
In America" Griffith has revealed,
in miniature, the terrific sacrifice that
our forefathers made that America
might become a free and independent
nation. 1t is not an effort to portray
The Revolution, but it has revealed,
through the medium of a tender love-
tale, the price that the founders of
America paid that Goth century
America might be the envy of the
earth.
Produced with all that directors
meticulous attention to detail, the pic
ture has historic accuracy. The
story was written by Robert w.
Chambers, American novelist, and
sponsored by the Daughters of the
American Revolution. 1t tells of the
love of Nathan Holden of New Eng
land and Nancy Montague, the proud
and beautiful daughter of Virginia
T6Fies, who find themselves at the
mercy of the relentless British guer-
ripa captain, Walter Butler.
