Community Of 1900 Has
No Officers Of Law
North Carolina Island is Run With
out Any Local Government
Simple Life Led

Harker's Island, N. c., Oct. 81
This little island community, said
by some to be the first place in
habitated by group of English
settlers sent over by Sir Walter
Raleigh, offers an interesting study
in government and sociology.
Without local laws or govern
ment, without officers and without
resident physicians, the 1900 in
habitants of the 5000 acre COM
munity live happily, peacefully and
they have good health.
Lying in Core sound, off the
Carolina coast, the island is con-
nected by passenger and mail boats
with Beaufort, N. C. All of the
islands residents except one, a
Negro servant, are white.
While there are two moving pic
ture shows, the pleasures of the
island folk are simple. They get
most joy out of music. A few pi-
amos, organs and monographs have
been imported, but homemade mu-
sic" from dishpans, mouthorgans,
PdpcI-COFcicu COihUo, NlOllIlS anu
accordians generally is preferred.
Whales, which occasionally ap-
pear off the coast, offer sport to
the population, most of which is en-
gagged in fishing. Everybody joins
in the fight, and everybody shares
in the profits when the whale is
captured.
The shore front is covered with
racks to dry fish nets, and on the
southern shore side are the homes.
In the sound, small boats lie at
anchor. 1t is quiet, restful place.
The interior is a haven of beau
| ty. There are jungles of yapon
trees, bedecked with myriads of
scarlet berries. Pine trees and wild
flowers grow luxuriously. Winding
byways, where feet of the fisher
men have trod for years, wander
through the woods.

So DELEGATES
FROM ILLINOIS
State G. 0. P. Convention
ReiterateS Pledge, With
Deneen Leader.
By United Press

DU CHlttU russ
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April I'll
Senator Charles S. Deneen, who
outgeneraled the powerful Thomp-
Son-Sman machine in the recent
Illinois primary, will lead Illinois
f1fty-eight delegates to the Repub-
lican national convention to vote
for Frank o. Lowden for the preSi-
Dental nomination.
The States Republican leaders,
meeting in convention Friday, re-
iterated the pledge made in the pri-
mary to support Lowden. They Sc
lected eleven delegates Large,
headed by Deneen, and instructed
them to vote for the former Cover
nor at Kansas City in June.
The Democrats, meeting at the
same time, were swept by a great
wave of AL Smith sentiment, voting
unanimously to add their strength
to the New York Governors candi-
dacy. Then, with George Brennan,
Chicago boss, selected to head the
delegation at the Houston conven-
ton, they adopted a semi-wet plank
in their platform and adjourned.
Lowden, by the conventions
action, was assured of the solid
backing of his home State with the
possible exception of one delegate
Mayor William Hale Thompson,
a bitter political enemy for many
years.
Neither Thompson nor his po-
litical ally, Governor Len Small,
attended the convention, but their
Cook County delegates heckled
Deneen and his friends constantly
with boos and catcalls.

FASCISTS JOIN
TO CELEBRATE
CITY BIRTHDAY
BLACK Shirts Jam Streets
of Rome to Observe
Founding Day.
By Unitcd Press

ROME, April 21.-Rome's streets
were filled with the importing
Fascist legionaries from an early
hour today. Thousands of BLACK
shirts" from all the provincial
centers marched in somber ranks
from the station, and made
striking contrast with the blaze of
color hanging from every house in
the form of the Italian tri~color
and the city flag of Rome.
Today was a national holiday de-
creed by Premier Mussolini to Gel
citrate the founding of the imperial
city by Romulus and Remus in
1888 B. C. so it may fairly be
claimed that Italy is today taking
part in the recurrence of the oldest
holiday in the world.
With the festival is merged the
old Labor Day." which used to be
celebrated on May l, but has been
abolished by Premier Mussolini as
separate holiday.
AS the celebration denoted more
the rise of the Fascist labor organi-
cations, the military element, gen.
orally so prominent in functions of
the kind, was present only in linz
tied part. A review of the gar
rison of Rome was held, however.
Throughout Italy celebrations
similar to those held in the capital
were carried out. In Milan, Turin,
Genoa, Naples, Florence, Venice
and Palermo, thousands CT the
local "black skirts" were addressed
by various officials of the party or
Government.
In Turin, the great exhibition
being held in honor of the fourth
centenary of Emanuel Filibert of
Savoy and the tenth anniversary
of the allied victory was scheduled
to be inaugurated by King Victor.

100000 bonds with Thompson &
McKinnon, brokers, to bolster his
New York trading account. The
$85, 900 previously had been placed
by J. P. Connery, Hays partner and
friend. in Hays Chicago account,
which also was in precariouS condi-
ton.
Solicited Aid for Hays
Connery told the committee at its
Chicago hearing that he had gone
to Sinclair and solicited the latters
help for Hays, reciting the fact that
Hays finances were precarious, be-
cause of his losses in Sinclair stocks.
The story, as the committee has
obtained it, is that the brokers,
both in Chicago and New York, were
pressing Hays account for more
margins. Hinkle c.. Hays, brother
of Will, telegraphed the latter i"-
New York. Hays was in touch with
Sinclair, and, either at the latter's
New York office or at his home at
Great Neck, Long Island, solicited
the loan.
In response to the plea Sinclair
turned over to Hays the 100000 in
First Liberty Loan bond, bearing
49, per cent interest, which Hays
at once rushed to his brokers.
1--WE have established through the
serial numbers that part of these
bonds at least were Continental
bonds" said Nye. Further inves-
tigation is being made. The COM
mitee had had some intimations
of this state of affairs, but Cur
ley's information given to our in
vestigator, enabled Vi to be put in
such shape as to be made public"

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. April I'll
The picture is under way. After
weeks have been spent in prepara-
ton, a picture is ready for the
actual filming.
This takes anywhere from ten
days to year, depending upon the
production. However. it is seldom
that more than three months is
spent on any picture.
Many things enter into the length
of time required to shoot a film.
Some directors work much faster
than others. - Weather conditions
often hold UP production for days.
Temperamental actors cause delays.
Story changes also slow down &C
tivities.
1t is not unusual for a producer or
supervisor to decide, after a picture
is threequarterS filmed, that certain
parts of the story should be changed.
Those sequences then must be done
all over again.
Filming Slow Work
Filming a picture is slow and
painstaking. A scene that is seen on
the silver sheet for but thirty
seconds may require seven or eight
hours to shoot Before a crank is
turned on a camera, every person in
the scene must know exactly what
he. or she, is going to do.
After giving careful instructions
to each player, most directors then
rehearse the scene once or more be-
fore taking it.
These rehearsals are exactly like
a dress rehearsal for a play. Every
thing is done just as it is for the
picture with the exception of the
cameras being idle.
When everything is in readiness
for the shooting. the director takes
his place in a convenient location
for giving orders. usually directly
under the cameras.
At his order the lights are flashed
on, musicals start to play, players
start doing their bits and camera
men commence grinding their ca
meraS.
Actors Told What to Do
If a scene is a large one using
many people, the director usually
gives his orders by means of loud
speaker arrangement so that all can
hear.
If there are only a few persons
on the set, an ordinary megaphone
is sufficient But regardless of the
number of actors working, the di-
rector dictates every movement
made-even if the scene has been
rehearSed.
Little is left to the actor except
to do as he is told. Some players,
of course, require more direction
than others.
There are some who when told
what to do once can go right
through the scene without any fur
ther orders.
Others can't even turn their heads
without orders from the director.
The thing that would be most
surprising to visitor in a studio
would be to hear a director say,
That's great-let's do it again,
when a scene is finished.
No matter how good a scene may
be on its first taking it is always
shot a second and usually a third
time.
This is for protection in case of
some accident during the develop
ing of the film.
Some directors will shoot a scene
eight or ten times and then say,
print the first and third ones"

TIMES REVEALS
!. SINCLAIR LOAN
TO WILL HAYS
Sought, Received Fund to
Pay Stock Losses When
Brokers Crowded.
DIDN'T TELL PR0BERS
Amount Given Him in Lib
erty Bonds, Part Cont
; mental Company Profits.

Copyright, 1923. Indianapolis Times
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The
Senate Teapot Dome investigating
committee was in possession today
Of the knowledge that Will H. HAYS.
former Republican national chair
man of Sullivan, Ind, and New
York, had in his possession 100000
more of Liberty loan bonds from
Harry F. Sinclair than Hays ever
has admitted on the witness stand.
Senator Gerald P. Nye of North
Dakota, chairman of the committee,
gave to The Indianapolis Times and
Boyd Gurley, its editor, credit for
giving the committee information
upon the newly discovered trans
action.
A committee Investigator recently
called upon Gurley in Indianapolis,
at the latter's request. Gurley had
told Nye that he had valuable in
formation which the committee
should have.
Trading Company Bonds
The bonds, Nye said, were, trans
mitted from Sinclair to Hays about
the middle of the summer of 1928.
Part of them, at least, he said, were
bonds of the Continental Trading
Company, mushroom organization
which had made $3,080,OOO profit in
few days in one oil transaction,
and then went out of business. It's
mysterious history has been the OBJ
ject of investigation by the commit
tee.
80 far as we can establish, the
bonds we're loaned to Hays as a
private transaction, during the per-
iod of Hays losses upon the Stock
Exchange, due to trading in Sin
clair's stocks Nye said.
New Deal Shown
HE testified briefly upon the wit
ness stand before us to the fact
that he has incurred such losses,
and that as a result Sinclair had
given him outright $85,o00 inrCon-
tinental Trading Company bonds,
to cover Hays contribution of that
amount to the G.. o. P. fund.
This new 100000 worth, how
ever, appears to be transaction
apart from that.
1.-THE committee has not felt like
probing into Hays private business.
But this new discovery certainly is
pertinent, showing as it does, other
transactions between Hays and Sin
clair"
OF the between $7O0, 900 and $780,
900 worth of Continental bonds
which Sinclair received as his share
of the Continental Trading Com
pany's profits, the new discovery
accounts for approximately $493, O00
Money Is Traced
Sinclair gave $233, 1000 to Albert B.
Fall, secretary Of the interior, from
whom he obtained the Teapot Dome
oil lease. He gave $4,000 as an out
right gift to the Republican nation
al committee at Hays solicitation.
He loaned the committee 100000
of the bonds to be used as collateral,
later returned to him. Then he gave
Hays So, 900 in bonds outright, when
it was represented to him that
Hays had pledged that amount of
his own funds to return to Sinclair
the 100000 bonds which Hays had
obtained for the committees use.
The committee has established,
Nye said, that Hays placed the new
