"Polikushka" Will
Be Presented April
22nd at Boston

BOSTON, Mass, April 15.-To sup
ply the popular demand, of the great
film of the Moscow Art Theatre, "Po-
likushka," will be presented at Boston
Symphony Hall for one performance
only, on Tuesday night, April %. The
Boston papers have been unanimous
in their high praise Of this film.
Ivan Moskvin, one Of the star ac-
tors of the Moscow Art Theatre, who
plays the title role, creates a charac-
ter of superb pathos, swayed by ele-
mental desires, but also by elemental
loyalty.
"The acting of Ivan Moskvin in SUI
perb, as vivid and searching a pam
tomime as one could ask" says the
Boston Transcript. at is true to hui
man nature, it is rich in folk back
ground, it is a monument to the per-
versity and blind mischance which
often seems to thwart humanity. The
Moscow Art Theatre as actors have
endowed it with Astounding theatrical
life and vigor"
The film has played in the principle
cities to full houses and amid the
universal acclaim of the critics.

SENATE'S WAR WITH
COOLIDGE is FLAMING
OUT MORE FIERCELY

WASHINGTON, April 15-Renewals
Of the bitter conflict between Presi-
dent Coolidge and the senate over
the fight Of investigation by senate
rial committees into the doings of
government departments was promis-
ed yesterday with both sides to the
argument as determined as ever to
enforce their views.
Senator Reeds resolution to ex-
punge from the record the message
Of President Coolidge to the senate
assaiIing the Couzens' resolution Of
the investigation Of the internal reve-
nue. bureau as outside the bounds Of
local inquiry still is pending before
the senate. Reed said he would de-
mand action on the measure today.
Republican leaders were trying to-
day to arrange truce with demo
Gratis to prevent another day of such
bitter partisan discussion as occurred
Saturday. They fear that the senate
will get into such mean temper over
this question, if allowed to go on de-
batting it, that little legislation will be
passed before the time for the poll
tical conventions in June.
Democrats regarded the Presidents
letter as challenge. They in
tended to insist on report this week
from the expenses committee on the
Jones resolution empowering the Cou-
zens' committee to investigate the in
ternal revenue bureau and to hire
Francis ]. Heney with government
money instead of privately, out of the
purse of senator Couzens, as at first
arranged.

FERRIS AROUSED
when FORD WINS
DEMOCRATIC VOTE
Says Gals Man Has No
Business in Primary.
BY SHERMAN BOWMAN
Especial to the Daily Worker)

WASHINGTON D. c., April IS
Sen. Woodbridge N. Ferris, of Michi-
gan, sage of the Ferris Institute at
Big Rapids and old fashioned Demo
crat, is aroused because his party has
suffered the strange reproach of hay
ing Henry Ford, a supporter of Cool
idge for President, named the Demo-
cratic favorite son of Ferris own
state.
Senator Ferris has been Democrat
longer than most men have lived.
He was a candidate in the Michigan
primaries, just held, for the Democrat
ic nomination for president. But some
one placed Ford's name on the bal
lot.
Ford had previously shown his in
difference to any candidacy of his own
by declaring publicly in an interview
that he would support Coolidge in the
election next fall But, even under
those circumstances and without any
Ford campaign, the Michigan voters
gave Ford a majority Of nearly 5000.
Only about 1900 Democratic votes
were cast.
1T was asinine to put his name
on the ballot in the first place with
bout ascertaining first whether he
was Democrat or a Republican"
Sen. Ferris said Indignantly in
his Senatorial Offices here
"The party is now in the pretty
position of going into the conven-
ton with an Endorsement for a Re-
publican. If the spirit of the primary
is followed, the delegation will have
to give Ford one vote. But it is
bad situation in that he must be
given even one vote, since he has
declared for President Coolidge"

French Inventor
Boasts of Deadly
Electric War Ray

PARIS, April 15.-The most formi-
dable war machine ever terminated in
the mind of man, has been stored in
the French war office since the end
of the world struggle. Jules Rateau
says in an article in the Journal to-
day.
The secret, according to Rateau
was discovered accidentally by a
French inventor late in the war and
consists in a method Of utilizing in
fra-red electrical rays called 1.-THE
Singing Arc" as a destructive cleo
trical force Of terrible capacity.
If the war had lasted a few months
longer Rateau says, the ray would
have demonstrated that Frances sea,
air and land frontiers can be made
impossible.

Senators May Jail
Nal Daugherty For
Withholding Books

WASHINGTON, April 10. - The
Senate Daugherty Investigating Com
mittee today will decide whether to
order contempt proceedings against
Nal Daugherty for his refusal to pro-
luce the books of his bank for the
committee. Open hearings will be sus-
pended for the day while the commit
lee holds an executive session.
Brookhart is of the opinion that Nal
Daugherty can be ordered into GUS
lody of the sergeant at arms of the
senate and held until he produces
books of the Midland National Bank
Of Washington court house, Ohio, but
other members of the committee be-
lieve that only court action, involving
4 long legal battle, can accomplish
that end.
Wheeler also will confer with Sena-
tor Borah, chairman of the committee
appointed to investigate the indict-
ment Of the Montana Senator. Borah
said the investigation is not likely to
get under way until the middle OF the
week when witnesses subpoenaed
from Montana will arrive.

POVERTY BRINGS
LUNACY, DEATH,
TO FARMHOUSE
Wife Loses Mind And
Stays Daughter

Especial TO ne Ddliy WoFkef)
WHEATON, ILL.,, April 15.-As a re
suit of the small returns brought in
for crops last year, due to market
control by spectators, a farm wife
here is in the state insane asylum,
her little daughter is dead, and her
three other children are critically in
jured. Mrs. Sven Carlson and her
husband owned a farm near Batavia.
But the farmers could get little money
for their crops. Things got so bad
that Carlson, like the other farmers,
was selling his crops for less money
than he paid out in freight and haul
ing charges.
Carlson had to rent the farm and
moved to Wheaton Mrs. Carlson, ac-
cording to her husband, began to
brood over her troubles, as thousands
of farmers thruout the country have
been doing. The bankrupt condition
of the farmers preyed on her mind,
and she became mentally unbalanced.
Friday night Carlson came in from
the evening chores. He found his
wife standing over their daughter
Doris. The Respondent woman had
attacked her children and endeavored
to take her own life. Carlson de-
clares that the lot of farmer these
days is indeed an unhappy one.

COUNCIL PLEDGES
AID TO MOONEY
Congratulates London
Workers For Stand
Especial to The Daily Worker


NEW YORK, April 15.-American
labor has not forgotten Tom Mooney.
All over the country new campaign
is gathering Roadway to force the
governor Of California to release
him from the prison cell in which
be languishes, victim Of one Of the
most brazen frame-ups in the foul
history of capitalist assaults
Writing to H. D. Carmichael, secre-
tary Of the London Trades Council
which has pledged its support to the
campaign to save Mooney, the Labor
Defense Council declares:
Behind the Campaign.
"Your letter of March 20 is bound
to strike note Of response in every
real labor organization in this coun-
try. AS for the Labor Defense Coun-
Gil, we hasten to assure you that we
ar ewholeheartedly in sympathy with
your high purpose. The Labor De
Tense Council must be counted as a
determined supporter in the renewed
campaign to free Mooney.
1.-THE Mooney case is one of the
most important that this country has
ever known. Attic every important
witness against his has long since
confessed to perjury, Mooney is still
in jail. He will remain there unless
the workers force his release.
Proletarian Solidarity.
"Tha THE first impulse in the new
Mooney campaign came from London
is significant of the close bonds
which unite the workers of England
with those of the United States. It
is tribute to your sense of prole-
tartan solidarity.
eve recall that Ehe Mooney case
was first brought to the attention Of
wide masses of American people thru
an appeal sent out from Soviet Rus
STA. The workers of this country
have not forgotten it. and they will
not soon forget the fine step which
you now take"
