low the visitor to see Sinclair be-
cause today is not visitors day.
1t is understood at the Jail that
Sinclair expects few callers, His
attorney, his brother and his wife
are the only callers he expects. it
is understood.
The oil man checked in" at his
new quarters last night at 8:45
p. M, after having successfully
kept all of the newspaper reporters
and photographers between New
York and Washington on the qui
vivie since last Saturday. Up until
the moment his big automobile
swung into the Jail yard last night,
the press was without definite in
formation of his movements since
the start of the last weekend.
It was an auspicious entrance,
and befitting the prominence of the
man, even though he entered a
heavily-barred door. Nearly so
photographers were strategically
grouped outside the Jail entrance
when the big car swung in.
This was a signal for the movie
men to hastily light and cast out
flares that Illuminated the dull red
front of the structure with gfast!y
light. Smoke rolled over the drive
way SIS the auto swung into the
entrance The movie cameras
clicked steadily from the blanket of
night behind the glare of the flares.
Stage Well Set
The "sttll" men were poised with
speed flashes attached to their
cameras. The car came to stop
and the chauffeur stepped out with
a suitcase in each hand. He opened
the rear door and George T. STAN
ford, Sinclair attorney, emerged.
After him, Earl w. Sinclair, the
oil mans brother, appeared from
the dark interior of the auto.
Then came the prisoner. The
speed flashes roared on all sides
in a manner as to suggest a jaii-
break with all the customary gun
play. Harry, Sinclair passed inside
the Jail, succumbed by the law at
last.
His face was a garish green under
the light of the movie flares. His
shoulders were hunched up around
his ears. His chin was drawn close
to his collar and his brown Sloucn
hat was pulled well over his eyes.

The tints are not only superior to
the eight tints in use in films before
the "talkies" displaced the silent
films but the new sixteen tints are
expected to aid in the artistic ex-
preston of different moods in the
plot.
Careful study and experimental
ton may lead to the development of
sound pictures combined with tints
into a powerful emotional tool in the
hands of the master motion picture
dramatist," said Lloyd A. Jones,
head of the physics department of
the Eastman Kodak research labora-
tories. who announced the achieve
ment today before the meeting of
the Society of Motion Picture Engi-
neers.
Adapted to Mood
The industry has been seeking col
ors in "talkies" ever since the vocal
films forced the pictures back into
the neutral gray tones of the early
days of the business.
The development of the new tints
does not mean that sound pictures
will go into natural colors which so
far have met with other technical
difficulties. But it does mean that
sound -on-film systems will be able to
project scenes in the all-over tints,
adapting each mood of the drama to
a psychological appropriate color.
Certain psychological effects be-
lieved to spring from the tints de-
vised for use with sound motion pic
lures, according to Jones, are listed
as follows:
Effects Aimed
Argent-A hueless color which
may be regarded as the zero or
statring point on the scale or sat
uration or color strength. 1t may
be used to fatigue the eye to the
point of monotony after which the
presentation of hue will have en-
hanced effect.
Sunshine-A clear, brilliant vel
low. mildly stimulating, suggesting
a mood of lively interest and at
tention.
Candleflame A pastel orange
yellow, useful inducing rather mild
mood reactions such as feelings of
coziness, comfort, intimacy, we'll
being, peace, and plenty without
opulence.
Firelight--A soft yellow-orange,
suggestive of warmth, comfort, in
innate home relationships, mild af
lection.
Afterglow-A soft, rich glow
orange color, exciting mood re-
actions in general connected with
luxury. wealth, security and rela-
lively strong affections. 1t is also
indicative of repose, ambitions at
tained, accomplishment, and similar
psychological aspects of maturity.
Peachblow--A delicate flesh ink.
adapted to the rendition of close
ups where it is desired to do full
justice to feminine beauty. 1t sug-
gests the glow of life.

President Griffith, who accompanied
Johnson from Cleveland sat UP IN
Johnson's stateroom all night with
him, taking his temperature hourly
and keeping ice bags applied to his
fevered brow. Johnson said this
morning on arrival that he felt
easier than he has at any time since
he was taken sick and that he was
happy to be at home in the midst
of his family and friends.
DR.. Harry Kaufman, chief OF the
Emergency Hospital staff and john

brought the great baseball IDOL
through to q miraculous recovery
from similar disease q year ago
last winter, met his distinguished
patient at the station. as did Mrs.
Johnson, the personnel of the Wash
ington ball clubs clerical staff and
numerous friends who had learned OF
his intended homecoming.
After a cursory examination on ar
rival at the hospital, DR.. Kaufman
declared Johnson's fever was around
100, that he was cheerful, and that
Johnson is sure a few days rest and
treatment would arrest the progress
of his trouble.
DIR. Kaufman was reluctant to
state how long his patient would be
confined, saying that any estimate
would be the purest speculation be-
fore he had observed Johnson ior a
day or two.
His Health First.
President Griffith seemed to Re.
lieve that johnson will rot be con.

vious 9lness because they have got

Paschal comes to Washington he

Pasehal is a fast fielder and
