Government Ownership Bomb
A bombshell was tossed into the

a hydro-electric plant on the Flat

"The government could develop
this plant and do everything these

also take adequate care of the In

tentious production of the screen

the crucifixion and finally the
Resurrection, contribute to the
Green a succession of pictures
which for massiveness, beauty and
charm, are unrivalled in any 9TH
! er screen production ever filmed.

S2,500,00O In point of expense
for gigantic sets, costumes, pro-
perties and the salaries paid more

spring screen spectacle for the

SPLIT THREATENS
SOCIALIST PARTY
OVER THOMAS VOTE
Heavy Liberal Vote for Rev. Nor
man Thomas Brings Divergent
Views from Party Chiefs. Com
munists Recovering from Second
Split In Year.

Special to The Producers News. =.
New York, Nov. 21.-Sharp on
the heels of the New York muni-
cipal election in which the Social
ist Party, under the leadership of
Rev. Norman Thomas, polled 174,-
600 votes, the largest vote ever
counted for by that party in New
York City, the followers of Nor
ris Hillquit, national chairman of
the S. P. are taking sharp issue
with Thomas over the future poll
cy Of the organization.
Thomas favors the opening of
the party doors so wide that pro-
gressives and liberals Of all shades
could enter without having to
pledge their efforts to the over
throw of capitalism or affirm their
belief in the class struggle. His
idea of Socialist Party appears
to be a collection Of independent
groups Of liberals believing in
anything from clean government
to prohibition. He seems to be-
lieve that anybody who votes for
Thomas for any reason whatever
is good enough for admission into
the Socialist party.
Morris Hillquit, on the other
hand, would welcome with open
arms any convert to Socialism,

MAYOR UNALARMED
 BY M'COOK RULING Fears No Serious Consequences Calls Situation RegrettabIe UNDER IS CONFIDENT
Believes Courts Will Prevent NiOla- tionS of Provisions of Laws in Question-Senator Christ Proposes Series of Bills as Solution.

Informed of several of the more important legislative acts made void able by the supreme court ruling, Mayor Paonessa said today:
 Although this condition is. of course, regretlable, 1 have no fear of serious consequences.
 "The legislation Whcih was placed on the books by the general assem- ply and sent to the governor for his signature represents the wishes of the people concerned, and 1 do not expect that any legal technicali,y can be found to defeat the wishes of the public.
 No doubt, Governor Trumbull will lose no time in convcning the general assembly i'll special session, nd the members of that body will see to it that these matters are taken care Of speedily. We can do nothing but await that action Linder is Confident
 Thomas Llnder, chairman of the board of assessors and clerk of the board of adjustment, was deeply n- tercsted in the disclosures since they affect both departments of the city government in which he is an off cial.
 Strictly speaking, he pointed out, there is no legal zoning act and no legally constituted board of adjust ment at the present time, but he oX- pressed a conviction that no time would be lost in putting through validating legislation. Mr. Linder, while not anticipating any effcrt on the part of property owners to take advantage Of this condition to devote their properties to uses prohibited by the zonlng act, predicted cooper ation from the courts in every effort thSt might be made by the city to enioin such parties.
 With reference 10 the authorized failure of property owners to file tax lists. in reliance upon the lcgis- ldtion which vas believed to have been legally adopted, Mr. Lindcr had little to say other than to express a feeling Of certainty that the as semoly will remove the cloud from the special act.
 Citing the McCook memorandum, Mir. Lindcr reminded that the court did not attempt to decide the whole question and made no decision other than that which affects the particu- lar case appealed. He raised the question of an appeal being neCes- sary in all cases in which an effort might be sought to take advantage of the condition now found to exist

 Shook began today CO., operating ac- lively with attorneys conducting his defense.
 He came into court, removed his coat, sat down with his lawyers and went to work as if he were ou- of them and not the defendant.
 He carefully studied the list Of jurors took their identities ani made notations for future use. His lawyers seemed to give weight to his whispered words.
 "I know little about court procc- dure," he told newspapermcn.
 This is not his first appearance ;,, stcr here willed him a valuable bit Of land. Her relatives contested the will alleging undue influence anu won.
 Says Newspapers Unfair
 Shook told court attendants he felt the newspapers were not giving him "an even break"
 "I cant see, anyway, what all these reporters 1t the trial find herr to interest anyone" he said.
 Developments yesterday forcshad- owing testimony of a lurid type drew big crowd today with man! standing in the court room in ada, ton to the 150 seated. As previous ly, women dominated the crowd

Boston, July 26 tPl - Before Carl B.

In it Cowan asked that a brother be paroled long enough to attend the funeral if he died.
 Death came on the fifth day and yesterday the undertaken car ried out Cowans' last instructions.
