From Fish to Lovestone

phrases, the socialist party has two valuable
mid wives, Ham Fish, Jr., and Jay Lovestone
Fish comes to the defense of socialism as
against Communism, declaring that socialists
believed in an orderly, legal change of our sys-
tenn and that the Communist was the worst
enemy Of the socialist IN. Y. Times, Jan. 10,
1900
Fish, who is so willing to give the socialists
helping hand in their difficult task, is now
joined by the renegade Lovestonetes. For
long time the Lovestoneites have been looking
for bridge to the socialist party, and the So
called "nilitants" in the socialist party, led by
Louis Stanley, conveniently let down very
wide draw bridge over which Lovestone can pass
into the camp of Hillquit, Oneal and Stanley.
Two main issues agitate the socialist party.
First there is the attitude toward the Soviet
Union and second, the task Of trade union work.
Simmered down there is really no difference be-
tween any Of the groupings within the socialist
party on any of these issues, as we will prove.
But the Loyestoneites, picking out the resolution
on Russia, offered by the Stanley group as the
most convenient point of contact with the So
cialist par6, cxcaim This resolution intro

Holy Writ Copyrighted

They takes their scripture straight in Eng
land and though scoffers may doubt that it is
the word of God, by royal decree of King George
the Fifth, Emperor of India, Wales, Ulster and
way points, a royal charter was granted years
ago to three persons and three persons only to
publish Holy Writ in print.
Only King George can give such permission.
for the copyright is held by the Crown, and the
copyright to the Authorized and Revised YER
sion, or, as it is known, the King James YER
sion, probably puts royal taboo on reproduce
tons in all languages, including the Scan
dinavian.
Be that as it may, only the oxford and Cam
bridge colleges, and but one printer, the firm Of
Eyre & Spottiswoode took just II years to get
George to publish bibles in England Now, sad
to relate. another firm is butting in and pub
fishing bibles, bootleg bibles" they are called.
In fact it has been doing so since 1913 But
things move slowly in London and the firm Of
Eyre D Spottiswoode took just II years to get
sore about it.
So it is grousing about 1t and threatens to 20
to law to stop the bootleg bible business of the
offending firm, John Shaw & Co. Evidently, the
recourse to prayer is thought of as entirely in
effective.
Shaw & Co. declares that II years of purvey-
ing Holy Writ without protest makes the action
holy if not legal. That in addition they publish
not an exact copy of the bibles printed by the
chartered firm because they have added some
nice colored pictures of angels, the Last Supper
and the Unemployed apple vendors in the Gar
den Of Eden; and what's more, that the royal
monopoly is "holdover from period long
since past"
This last excuse has reused British respecta-
bility to sort of polite frenzy. 1t may be all
right to get around the copyright. of the British
throne by printing pictures of well-fed angels
and carousing disciples, but to question the
divine authority of the British crown-ah that
indeed is. in the language of the British cor
resi- dent to the N. Y. Post, "mseemly and
unpl ccedented" And if anything is "unseemly
and unprecedented" to British bourgeois society
it is doomed

Counsel For Both Sides

1t is news to us if there is any shortage of
lawyers. In fact we were laboring under the
impression that there is reproduction of at
torneyJ But apparently monopolist tendencies
are at work in this field, Also
W. are convinced of as much by observing
that Mr, Max Steuer, known as Dear Max" to
Mayor Walker, has cornered about all the Jobs
possible of both sides in regard to crooked
bankers.
1t was not enough that he was the lawyer de-
Tending Mr.. Warder, predecessor Of Mr. Brod-
erick as State Superintendent of Banks, who is
now living up at Sing Sing because he was
bribed by officials Of the Tammany bank known
as the City Trust
1t was not enough, and Steuer added to his
business by acting as attorney for and against
certain officials of the Banks of u s. before it
finally went bust Whereupon he suddenly BIOS
somed out as the attorney defending the de-
positors. Then he and most of his male rela-
tves acquired new dignity by appointment of
the N. Y. Attorney General Steuer himself to
robe" the Bank of u S.
But if anybody thinks that the list Of attor-
neyships in bank robbing cases is exhausted they
are sadly mistaken. What do we see now but
the stout-hearted crusader gobbling up another
case of fraud. On Monday, Mr. Steuer obtained
writ OF habeas corpus demanding that the
federal government release from durance vile
one Arthur ]. Klein.
And who is Klein? Be silent my children! Re
is wanted in London, England, in connection
with stock fraud operation that cleaned up
the savings of many small investors to the ag-
gregate sum Of $1l50,0O0, which the willy Klein
lifteu from the blooming Limeys and safely de-
posted in the good old u S. A.
We must render compliments to Attorney Max
]. Steuer. Having cornered the American fraud
market he is branching out as sort Of inter-
national cartel
Whether you are defrauder or dcfraudee.
he will take your case. Indeed he will take both
cases at once and act as both prosecutor and
counsel for the defense. This is what we call
versatility. r''-
There is only one danger. In the multitude
of cases he has, he may get short-circuit and
get the defendant and the plaintiff mixed up.

LUMbERJACKS
 IN MINNESOTA
 FADING AWAY

DULUTH, Minn., April 8.-The lumber industry, which for 20 years ranked in importance next to iron ore in Northern Minnesota, is fad ing.
 This winter only a small number of lumber jacks" went into the lumber camps, and the shipments for 1881 will be negligible. In le30 lumber shipments from Northern Minnesota were slightly more than 500,000 board feet. For a score or more years the seasons shipment was 400O00,000 board feet from the Duluth-Superior harbor.
 Saw-log camps continue to four ish in the far West and South, but lumbermen in Minnesota cannot compete with that trade, they de- clare. Most of the lumber in Min nespta is manufactured into boxes, barrels, clothes pins, matches and pulpWood products.

CAUGHT SHORT PROVES PANICS
 CAN BE FUNNY
Marie Dressler and Polly Moran Star Tn Com-
 edy at Capitol

It was inevitable that the stock market crash should inspire the writers of movieland, and hence it is that Marie Dressler and Pol ly Moran of M G. M. cavorted across the screen of the Capitol Theatre last night in an uproari- GUS comedy titled Caught Short" It will be presented again tonight.
 Caught Short" concerns the successes of Polly Moran, Wash ingtcn Square (N. Y) landlady, in the late lamented bull market" and the eventual equalization of her more conservative friend, Mar ie Dressler. Anita Page and Charles Merton furnish the juvenile love interest of the comedy and excel lent character performances are given by T. Roy Barnes, Herbert Prior and Edward Dillon as board CTS.
 Director Chuck Riesner has han dled the offering deftly. The sus- pense leading up to the final crash of the market is particularly well done. The co-stars, Marie Dressler and Polly Moran, carry on in this picture still farther the high reputation they have already attained as fun-makers supreme

Singg-Song Girls Shot by
 Chinese as Spies of Reds

The women were lined up and shot. General Ho Chien, gover- nor of Human, also warned his of- ficers and soldiers to stay away from sing-song houses under pen alty of death.
 But the old lure of wine, women and song proved too strong for some of the soldiers. Even young officers, found in forbidden con- pany, were summarily executed despite appeals of seniors.
 The number of sing song houses in the garrison towns of Human has decreased sharply, but the commanders of the Nanking forces are keeping close watch of every strange practitioner of "the world $ eldest profession" who comes into the district.

Science Measures Retreat
 Of Cliffs, Under Seq Attack

LA JOLLA, Cal, April 8-The taller a cliff facing the sea, the slower does it recede under the intending pounding of waves and water.
 A key to these recession rates is found by Dr. Wayland Vaughan, Director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography here, in measur- ments of the retreat of three cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean at La Jolla.
 "The magnitude of the recession ? he says, was somewhat surpris- ing. The first cliff is 21 feet high and has receded 20 feet since 1918. The second B feet high, has re- ceded Is feet and was undercut at the time of the measurement to 8 feet. The third cliff is 54 feet high and since 1918 has re- ceded between 10 and 12 feet
 At the same rate, for the same kind of cliffs, hard kind of clay, a 5 foot bank would recede four feet in year, a 50-foot bank just under one foot, and 500-foot cliff less than four inches. l

Fine entertainment was pre- sented to audiences at the Coli scum last night. "The Dance of Life which was the feature at traction and which will be shown again tonight, has romantic story, color, sound dialogue, fun and drama. It absorbs the mind and heart in a pulsing story.
 The Dance of Life" was adapt ed from the stage success Bur lesque."
 Hal Skelly relives the role of Skid" which he created for the stage play, and, in The Dance of Lfe,' he is doubly effective with Nancy Carol, the charming heroine of many delightful pictures, opposite him.
 'The Dance o Life" is talking throughout Music works into the plot naturally. Catchy, especially written songs, are heard, inter mingled with a group of old-time favorites. The settings are marve- lous, from the backstage burlesque house, with it's chorus of 180 pound queens" to the magnifi- cent "Follies" sequence, shown in natural color, with full sound, in which more than 80 beautiful show girls take part.

inson were two of the first fans to join. George Duffy, the millionaire silk manufacturer, was another. Joe Cook, the theatrical man, holds an office. So does Courtney Riley Cooper, the writer of tent show tales. Richard Ringing, a nephew of Mister John the circus boss, is an honorary vice-president. Mayor Bright of Richmond, also has an honorary office.
 The list of who's who could con- tinue for several pages, and would include everything from authors and lcartoonists to dentists and publish CTS.
 But when it all started there was a gent by the name of Stanley Daw-
 son, who had been for 35 years in the circus business and who knew thousands of people scattered over the United States.
 One day Dawson decided that there were any number of persons who had a big circus hangover from their youth. He called a meet ing of the first dozen fans he hap pened to encounter.
 There were 10 people at the ori- ginal session, held some nine or 10 years ago. One was a horse doctor, one a town undertaken, one a cow boy, one a physician, a lumber deal- CT and a few tradesmen in odd lines. Out of this grew the original Circus Fans.
 It so happened that in New York
 was one Freddy Benham, who had
 driven a circus wagon and gradu- ! ated to a newspaper man who, with I some others, decided that getting
 the old circus hounds together was
 a bright idea, and went to Washing
 ton for foregathering. I After time, q national conven-
 tion--sveral in fact-happened to be held and one day the New York
 delegation found itself ruled out. The complaint arose that Manhat- tan had no circus lot; that circuses
 were held in an auditorium and not | In tent. So the branch known as
 t the Circus Saints and Sinners came into existence and some day they
 hope to endow home for old per- formers.

New York.-On the second foor of Sardi's Cafe, midtown rendezvous of the entertainment world, there gathers each week group of men from every walk of life who like to remember the days when they car- ried water for the elephants and sneaked under the flaps of the big tent.
 There. are brokers and bankers and explorers and aviators and ex- circus folk and tradesmen.
 And by way of background for the particular weekly escape, they meet between a miniature whitetop sur- rounded by plenty of tent show att mosphere. They are -the- wool circus fans and they call theIfl- selves the Circus Saints and Sinners They are one of two national or- ganizations that have never forgot ten the smell of sawdust and tan- bark. The other Is known as the Circus Fans.
 Somewhere about mid-April, dele- gates will come from many parts of the nation for an annual convention already announced by d-fashioned circus handbills. Their banquets are held in rings, with sawdust on the floor. Their officers have titles taken from the circus argot.
 There is a ''fixer," second story guy" spieler, shill and conces- sion man. Commander Richard Byrd is liking of the high perch; i; Clarence Chamberlin is an Atlantic leaper"-and so it goes.
