Opponents Court
Plan Senate Fight

Washington, Jan. 17.--(AP)-Senate
opponents of American adhesion to the
world court mapped out program to-
day for continuing their fight against
ratification of the protocol.
Meeting at the call of Senator Borah,
Republican. Idaho, members Of the
group discussed the talk of procedure
to hasten a vote on the issue but at
tached little Importance to this, devot-
ing themselves chiefly to the assign
ment Of subjects to the individual OPP
ponents for their arguments when the
debate is resumed this week in the
Senate.
Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor,
Minnesota, indicated after the confer
ence that ratification of teh protocol
at this session Of Congress would be
followed by an attempt later to reopen
the subject. Just how this might be
done he did not disclose.
This thing must be settled right"
he declared. Unless 1t is settled right
and to the satisfaction of the American
people the fight must be gone over
again."

Predicts Motion

Cambridge, Jan. 17-(AP)-Radio
reception of motion pictures in the
home is a definite prospect in the
near future, said Professor Edward
L. Bowles of the Massachusetts, In
stitute Of Technology. in a lecture
here today. He based his prediction
On the successful wireless transmits
sion of motion pictures in silhouette.
Professor Bowles showed a photo
graph of a new radio protector re-
ceiving silhouette moving pictures.
The apparatus, similar to a camera.
is smaller than the average radio set.
The only stumbling block to the
successful transmission of moving
pictures by radio is speed, he de-
clared. The same principles involved
in the transmission of still photo
graphs are employed in sending
moving pictures, but it will be ne
cessary to transmit one "still' every

Tiles from solomon,s Temple

Three ancient tiles from King Solo
mons Temple, believed to be about
5000 years old. are in the home Of A.
H. Hoeckley at 81 Fort Pleasant ave.
nue.. Springfield. They were obtained at
the site of the great temple, which is
now covered by the mosque of Omar,
by Vastly Verestchagin. the famous
painter of war pictures i'm Russia, who
was blown UP on battleship in the
early days of the Russo-Japanese War.
He had the tiles mounted in heavy
wooden frames covered with crimson
plush. and they are secured by strips
Of metal at the back. He sent them
over here with collection Of his
paintings that were shown at the
Chiea 20 exposition. and were afterward
sold at the American Art Galleries In
New York. where the present owner
bought them with a guarantee of their
genuineness.
Although the tiles are 50 old, the
colors are almost as fresh as IL they
were made yesterday. One Of them has
a large flower, apparently a tulip, in
natural colors against a blue back
ground. Another has some characters
or symbols on II which are probably
ancient Hebrew and are thought to be
the name Jahveh or God. The third
one has arabesque figures In blue,
white and green.

Mount Moriah at Jerusalem In the

|ALEADER IN An
UNCROWDED FIELD

The moving Of houses II one busi-
ness that is not over-crowded. But
just the same, a man who is engaged
in this activity, has to be one OF the
worlds most careful workmen. That's
the way 1t is with Albert e. Hall. for
he is a house mover and house wreck
er.
Whether It is q question Of tearing
down a building and saving the parts
that are worth being saved or wheth-
er it is a question Of moving the
building bodily to some new location,
Mr.. Hall and his men will be found
ready and able to do the job.
In these days when cities and towns
are changing so rapidly, many build
ings have to come down to make way
for the new. In the old structures
will always be found material that
can be used again. 1t may have been
there many years. but in most cases.
as with good lumber. 1t has improved
with the drying out 1t has received
while a part of house or block.
This must be saved and in the saving
there comes a job that requires the
most careful kind of work. In the
tearing down of old buildings in this
vicinity, valuable material has been
salvaged which, If less experienced
workmen were on the job. would
probably have been lost for all time.
In moving a house from one place
to another, even greater care Is nee
essary, for there must be no cracks in
the walls. no getting out of plumb OF
corners and partitions. There have
been cases where families have con-
tinued to occupy their homes while
the building itself has wended It's
slow way through the streets. That
occupancy could be continued Is an
other proof Of the ability OF Mr.. Hall
and his crew in doing their work
well

Business Review
For the Past Week

New ork, Jan. II. (By 5Thes AS
ISOLATED Press)-Little progress to-
ward determining the. trend of 1926
trade has been made in the first two
weeks Of the new year, although 1t
has been apparent that the cautious
attitude adopted by bankers and in
dustrial leaders was promoting
greater moderation in business
In many branches of trade, the
year got off to a slow start, with all
indications pointing to further quiet
ing over the next few months. This
prospect, however, has occasioned
little concern. since mid-winter de-
velopments have rarely been accept
ed as a criterion for, business in the
succeeding months. In addition to
business world has not overlooked
the tendency to regard the latest
increase in the New York Reserve
Bank rate as a. possible warning
against over extension of business
activities or speculation in the Sc
curities markets. The immediate sob
ering effects of this development
were most clearly revealed in stock
trading last week, when a gradual
downward movement of prices took
place.
Meanwhile additional evidence of
past prosperity was reflected in the
declaration of several huge stock
dividends by motor and public util-
tiles companies and increased distri-
buttons by several industrial con-
GERS, most of the large national
banks, particularly in the eastern
section of the country reported rec
ord-breaking earnings and continued
gains in resources and deposits.
With the automobile show being
held in New York, developments in
the motor industry commanded more
than the usual attention last week.
Some disappointment was expressed
over the heavineSs of motor shares
at a time which traditionally has
been recognized as favorable for
these issues. The lower prices es-
tablished during the week were at
tributed to unexpected price cuts
and the fears expressed by some
manufacturers that the industry in
1926 would find 1t difficult to equal
last years enviable record of sales
and production.
Important plans to stimulate the
production of rubber by American
interests were formulated last week
by both automobile and tire manu-
facturers. A $10.000,UO0 corporation
for this purpose was organized with
the support of the National Chamber
or Commerce and the leading auto
mobile companies while the Rubber
Association of America considered
plans to spend $4,000, 900 for the
extension of United States rubber
holdings abroad.
Operations in the steel business are
picking up momentum after the holi-
day suspensions, with prices virtua Nv
at standstill. The weekly trade
review reported that while the heavy
finished steel bookings in November
Drought out some suggestions of a
movement toward higher prices there
were no indications this year of such
an effort as that of last January to
stimulate specifications by adyanc-
ing quotations.

Boston Clergyman
Says Pr0hibit0ry
Law Is Immoral One

Boston. Jan. 1a--(AP)-The Rev.
Charles ]. Mcintyre. S. j.. Of st. Ma
rvs church, told his congregation to-
day that the prohibition law should not
be enforced. He said the law was
Immoral in itself and interferes with
the liberty of the citizens"
The speaker characterized propon-
ents of the Prohibition laws as ia
natics and modern day Pharisees"
and criticized President Coolidge and
his administration for permitting "a
certain well known lobbyist to enter
the senate committee room, as re-
ported, and attempt to influence leg
islation."
II wish to attack those In Wash.
ington and in high places he said,
"who hold that law should be OBJ
served merely because it is a law.
In Connecticut law says that a
married man cannot kiss his wife on
Sunday. Is that law enforced? No.
In Connecticut another law says that
a man cannot go out Of his house
on Sunday unless he goes to church.
Is that law enforced? No. They
dare not enforce these silly laws just
because they are on the statute
books.
II honestly believe that the prohi-
bition law is a greater evil in itself
than was the old-fashioned saloon.
The prohibition law has bred a new
group of drinkers. Young people are
now imbibing. especially young girls.
1t is saidothat some girls won't go out
with a young man unless he carries
a flask.
always remember that because q
thing is q law is no reason why 1t
should be enforced iw that law is
immoral in itself. Prohibition should
not be observed because 1t interferes
with the liberty of the citizens, and
American are always respectful OF
the law. For the thousands who are
able to take a drink there is nc
earthly reason why prohibition
should be forced on them"

There is really no particular signifi-
canoe of any kind. 1t was just one of
