''Hard of Hearing
Clubs to Protest
Sound Pictures

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. April /.
"A movement is on foot among
hard of hearing clubs" to enter
a protest to the motion picture
producers against the displace-
ment of the silent film by sound
pictures, according to a letter
received by the Springfield
Speech Readers Club from the
Speech Reading Club of Phila-
delphia.
The latter club has originated
the idea of sending petitions to
every hard of hearing organiza-
ton in the country for the sigma
ture of each president, the petit
tions then to go to the producers.
The petitions will call attention
to the fact that the patronage of
millions of deafened people will
be lost by the displacement Of the
silent picture, and that one of
the greatest sources of pleasure
to the deafened will vanish with
the coming of the sound pictures.
The petition win request the pro-
ducers to continue the silent pic
lures. or at least to use captions
sufficient to enable the deafened
to follow the story.

SELF Up IN CHICAGO
Illinois Representative Posts
Bond on Liquor Charge
and Is Released.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. April Representative
NJ A. Michaelson of Chicago, indicted
at Jacksonville, Fla, on charges of vio-
lating the national prohibition law,
surrendered today to Henry c. w. Lau-
senheimer, United States marshal.
Michaelson's appearance at the mar
shal's Office in the Federal Building
was surrounded with secrecy and he
was ushered Immediately into the Of
fee of Edwin K. Walker, United States
commissioner, to make bonds.
Representative Michaelson appeared
voluntarily at the Federal Building, ap-
parently without any advance notice Of
his intention. Before the commissioner
he waived preliminary hearing, posted
$4,000 for his appearance and an
nounced he would go voluntarily to
Florida to face the charges against him.
He denied emphatically the charges
contained in the indictment, particular
ly that he had smuggled liquor into
Florida from Cuba in trunk marked
expedite" to hurry it through the GUS
toms Office without examination.
He said he would be able to disprove
the charges. AS soon as bonds were
made. he left the Federal Building with
two Federal officers assigned to him to
prevent reporters from questioning him
or photographers from making pictures.
Warrant Issued Last Week.
A warrant for his arrest had been
issued last week after his indictment
by Federal grand jury several months
previously had become public.
A deputy marshal went to Michael
sons home Saturday, but could find no
one there and 1t had been reported that
he was en- route to Jacksonville to sur
render.
Publication of the several months old
indictment had brought to light the
fact that his arrest had been held in
allegiance until Congress adjourned, be-
cause he was immune from arrest while
1t was in session.
George E. O. johnson, United States
district attorney at Chicago, said that
there had been no delay in his Office
since Congress had adjourned, except
that the case against the Representative
was behind many others and was given
no precedence in handling.
Whereabouts Had Beenu Mystery.
Representative Michaelson's where
abouts had been mystery since Thurs
day when the public first learned Of his
indictment six months ago on charges
of smuggling liquor into the United
States.
One report had been current that
Michaelson would surrender today at
Fla, where he was indicted
after liquor was found In trunks which
he later claimed.

BY the Associated Press.
Describing the Root-Hurst formula as
naive" Senator Johnson, Republican,
of California, bitter opponent of what
he regards as foreign entanglements.
has renewed his attack on American ad-
herence to the World Court
The arrangement worked out at Ge-

committee of jurists in an attempt to
adjust the differences between the
United States and the world powers
over the question Of advisory opinions

thing entirely different" from the Sen
ate's reservation on that point.
That reservation, he recalls in state
ment issued here, provided that the
court should not, without the consent
of the United States, entertain any re-
quest for an advisory opinion in a case
which this Government has, or claims
TO have, an interest.
"In the report written by Sir Cecil
Hurst and so enthusiastically agreed to
United States would join the court, and
thereafter, if advisory opinions were
sought in which the United States
claimed an interest, protest might be
filed which, if unavailing and still per-
sisted in, might entitle the United
States to withdraw from the court
without any imputation of unfriend-
liness or unwillingness to cooperate
generally for peace and good will.'*
IF the United States enters the
Court induced by the delightfully."- art
less proposal that it may withdraw after
a controversy concerning advisory opin-
ions, it requires no prophetic vision to
exactly what will result. The
expression which has been so persua-
sive with our people, the opinion of the
world and the insistence of our own

been asserted flows from advisory opin-
ions"

Fire Destroys Whole
Town But Proves
A Blessing

MOOSE LAKE, Mimi, Sept. 20
Q.N.s.l-when fire destroyed this
town in 1918. leaving not an
unburned timber in the whole
place, It was not looked upon in
the light Of an unmitigated bless
ing.
But It meant business for lum.
bermen, for the whole town had
to be rebuilt. And 1t meant
prosperity for c. J. Dodge, who
collected insurance for those
whose property was destroyed.
From his fees, Dodge organized
a pottery company which has
grown to be the biggest industry
in the region, and which this
year will do more than $4,000
worth Of business.
Within the last year, Dodge's
firm has grown so much 1t has
absorbed other businesses and
business places and is on the way
to becoming one of the outstand-
ing specialized pottery plants in
the country.
