ber of the leading producers asked
VIII II. Hays, then Postmaster Cen
eral, to become president OF the MO-
tion Picture Producers and Distrib-
utors of America He did so and to-
day 90 per cent of the producers and
distributors are members of Mr..
Hays organization. He has accom-
plished three outstanding things.
One is the creation of a national ad-
visory committee of public relations
composed of representatives of civic.
social and educational organizations.
Then there is the creation and
supervision of the operation of va
rious arbitration boards composed of
distributors and exhibitors, the sell
ers and buyers in the industry.
These boards settle practically all
the differences and disputes that arise
in the industry. This development
has been a constructive step produc-
tive Of enormous good and economy.
The third is the creation for future
use of a uniform system of account
ing and auditing providing in 1T for
adequate depreciation Of property and
equipment and in this way materially
increasing and improving the bank
ing and business credit within the
industry.
Yes. we are now part of the big
business of America" declared Mr..
Zukor. I'VE have grown fast; too
fast not to have made some serious
mistakes But / believe in the fu-
ture of the picture industry because
basically the American people are in
terested in clean and instructive en-
tertainment at nominal prices"

NEW YORK, April 6.-Giving an
account of her four months expert
ence as a worker in cotton and wool
en- mills of Passaic, N. j., Miss Justine
Waterman Wise, daughter of Rabbi
Steven S. Wise, yesterday charged
min officials with blacklisting their
employees and spying upon them. With
four companions, Miss Wise said, she
concealed her identity and sought
contact with industrial life by living
the life of a mill worker
Mill officials denied Miss Wise's
charges. One of them said he had
known the young woman's Intentions
when she applied to him for posi-
ton.
Miss Wise, in her statement, told
of receiving a card from an employ
ment bureau. which gave her the
privilege of looking for work" She
said her movements were closely
watched, and she was followed. She
described in detail conditions in the
mills as she saw them, and said thai
some of the ignominies endured by
the workers were inexcusable.

THE movie is showing the peoples

H|NDENBURG SHUNS
PRESIDENCY RACE
General Declines to Run as
Liberal Parties Agree in
Supporting Marx.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 6.-Gen. Won Hinden-
burg has declined to be a candidate
for the presidency of the German Re-
public. This decision having been
known, it rs expected that DR.. Karl
Jarres, who was temporarily put aside
in favor of the general, will be nomi-
mated shortly as a candidate of the
Nationalist combination in the April
&c elections.
With approval voted at yesterdays
session of the national committee OF
the German Democratic party, DR.
Wilhelm Marx is formally ratified as
the official candidate of the so-called
w eimar coalition, comprising Social
ist. Center and Democratic parties.
The caucus of the Democratic party
yesterday was largely attended by
out-of-town delegates. Although a
strong minority was opposed to
formal action by the party, it was
finally resolved that in view of the
eQuivocating and nti-Republican at
titude of the national conservative
bourgeois bloc, no choice was left for
the Democrats, but to join the Center
and Socialist parties in a determined
effort to carry the election on April
70 for DR.. Marx and the Weimer con-
stitution.
wv b>btIeiy SatLSneu.
With the former chancellor thus
ratlned the die is cast, far as the
three Republican parties are con-
cerned. That DR.. Mark in many re-
spects is not the most formidable
candidate at the disposal of the
Weimar parties is plainly reflected
IN the scruples entertained by promi-
nent Democratic leaders, who do not
attempt TO conceal their disgust at
the manner in which their party was
forced into becoming a partner In
the pact negotiated between the So
ctallsts and Centrists.
The Democratic party, however
found its way to the right barri-
-caded by the intransigeance of the
Jarres supporters, and in its isolated
position finally had to ally itself with
the two other parties of the Weimar
bloc. Although it is numerically the
smallest of the liberal parties, it
aspired to the distinction OF assum-
ing the leadership in the tangled
presidential situation by proposing z
DR.. Walter Simons as a bipartisan
candidate.
Not Assured of Vote.
Political on-lookers who profess to
know the temper Of the great body
of voters in both Socialist and Dem
ocratic parties openly charge that
Dr. Marx is by no means assured
of the complete support of either
or both these parties and that the
question of religious bias is one of
the most serious handicaps confront
ing the Weimar coalition in its effort
TO keep the nominal vote of the three
parties intact. Its strategic and
moral advantage at the outset of
the forthcoming three-week cam
paign is supplied in the demoralized
state in which the National Con-
servative bloc now is f1oundering

The boulevard, which is being

Work Of clearing 80 acres of ground
acquired by the Sisters from Fitch,

according to Father. j. B. Frigon, busi-

this work will require about ten days

the preliminaries, Father Frigon said,
in the expectation that the people of
Brownsville VIII meet the request for a
bonus"
The bonus asked is $4,000. Father
Frigon said he is confident that the
amount can be raised, if the campaign
is properly organized and set going.
Among the first work to be done will
be the razng of the present Incarnate

serve that purpose until the main col

said. 1t will be an important part of
the college structures when they are
completed

of this loan depending entirely upon

1t is understood that several thous-

A slight drop was reported al
10 O'Clock this morning in the
Rio Grande at Rio Grande City
with no further flood waters
coming down the San Juan

at the top of the banks from

Of the river at noon today have relieved
the situation here, it was reported by
officers at the international bridge, and
it is believed that the Valley will sue
cessfully weather the rise without a
flood, if no flood water comes down the
San Juan. At noon today the San Juan
was reported to be normal.
The river reached high stage here
early this morning, after rising slowly
since yesterday. Shortly before noon
the stream stood at Is feet on the
guage at the international bridge, which
is about three inches higher than the
mark set by the flood last year. How
ever, it fell some soon after noon, fol
lowing breaks in the levees on Mexico's
side of the stream.

river started dripping. early in the
morning. At Mission it was 21.6, or a
rise of 1.6 feet since yesterday, with
still "a feet to go before flood stage
was reached.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. June e. Nineteen
persons dead and nearly score Sc
riously injured was the toll today of
the heat wave and ensuing wind and
electrical storms which hit the middle
west and caused its residents to await
promised cooler weather with painting
breath.
From Nebraska to Ohio the heat was
general. In several places it set rec
ords for the year and for June first OF
all recorded time. The humidity which
covered the central states like blan-
ket, was pierced here and there by
thundershowers and terrific gales.
Sioux City, Iowa, was the center of
violent storm which extended to eastern
South Dakota and southwestern Mime
sofa.
Seven persons were injured, two prob
ably fatally, in the Iowa city and more
than dozen houses were leveled by
wind that blew at the rate of rs miles
an hour for five minutes and which
reached a peak of almost 80 miles. The
damage at Sioux City was estimated at
100000. Eastern Iowa from Waterloo
to Dubuque was visited by less salient
wnid and electrical storm, but consid-
cradle damage was reported.
Two persons were killed during an
electrical storm at Des Moines and two
men were reported killed near Way
land, Mo-, when the car in which they
were riding was swept from the road
by wind. Another windstorm swept
over the mining district of southeast
Kansas and southwest Missouri, caus-
ing injury to several persons and con-
siderable property damage.
Chicago had four deaths attributable
to the heat and Cleveland one; eight
persons in Wisconsin who sought relief
by swimming and boating were drown
ed Sunday and Monday.
Heat records for June ] were broken
in Chicago and Cleveland, which had
temperatures Of 92 and 81 respectively,
while Detroit, with 90. came within two
degrees of the all-time June l mark.
IEa1ly today a cooler breeze came TO
relieve Chicago's millions. Thunder
showers and lower temperatures were
forecast for this vicinity.
Minnesota, South Dakota and Nebras-
ka reported that yesterdays rain
brought relief from a drought of weeks
that retarded growing crops. Last month
was the driest month of any in Nebras-
