FRANKLIN SAYS
j. s. SHIPS GET
SQUARE DEAL
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Ships flying the American flag
are receiving a square deal under
international mercantile marine
activities, P. A. S. Franklin, pres
ident Of the organization, asserted
today before the Black committee
which Is investigating ocean mail
contracts.
Kermit Roosevelt was present at
the hearing, but Vincent Astor
who testified yesterday, was ab
sent. Both are I. M. M. directors.
Not A Fair View
In support of his assertion that
American ships were receiving a
square deal under I. M. M. opera.
tlons, Franklin said:
The impression seems to have
been created that in 1892, the
]. M. M. Company, its subsidiary
companies and affiliates had in
vested in American lag ships in
foreign trade, less than $1,50O,
GOO. as against $2O,OOO,OOO in
companies owning foreign flag
tonnage.
This Is not a fair picture Of
the situation.
The real extent of the /. M.

Ing or operating American flag
steamers, exclusively in which
the /. M. M. Company has a
substantial financial interest,
have invested approximately
$2S, 100000 in American flag
Shipping.
VALUE QUESTIONED
"As against this, the direct
financial interest of the I. M,
M. Company in foreign flag
tonnage is limited to $780,
600. This amount represents
the total Of money which
wholly owned subsidiaries of the
I. M. M. Company have in
vested in foreign flag tonnage"

1884 FAIR WILL BE

COnCessiOnaires Increase Seen and " Renewal
 Contracts Signed

Chicago - (UP) - An increase in concessionaires and concession expenditures which will triple the employment of A Century of Pro- gress for 1884 as compared with the 1893 fair was predicted today by fair officials
 The prediction was based on contracts already signed and on negotiations pending with conces- sionaires who had shows last sum- mer and those seeking concessions for next year.
 we have figured it out" an of- ficial said, that three times as much money will be spent by con- cessionaires fn improving and beautifying their concessions, or in putting up new buildings at the 1894 fair as was the case at last summers fair. That means more jobs and more money in circula- tion."
 Seventeen contracts, most of them renewals, have been signed, and 57 are in process of negotia- ton. A total of $110,000 in down payments has been received from the IT signers. This money will be held in escrow until proper leg islation has been passed by the state legislature and the Chicago South Park board, enabling the fair to receive it.
 Officials said that most new concessions will be in the field of entertainment, with more restau- rants and eating places offering music and GOT shows than pre- vailed last summer.

PALACE

Theatergoers who were able to crowd in at one of the perform ances yesterday were treated to a Roman holiday of beauty, song and laughter offered by Eddie Cantor's latest smash hit Roman Scandals" which has among it's most spectacular features a great slave. market scene, where a hun- dred of the emperor's beauties spin and strut in a stirringly martial dance, their silver mesh costumes glittering in the moon- light, as the senators and the rabble look up at the alabastec bodies of the captive slaves for sale to the highest bidder.
 Ruth Fitting, Gloria Stuart, Da- vid Manners, Edward Arnold and Veree Teasdale are his companions as he frolics among tn gorgeous slave girls gathered for the pleas ure of Caesar; in and out of prison dungeons or flying over dusty roads at the reins of 8 thun- dering chariot, with lives at stake.
 Ruth Fittings song "No More Love" and a vivid dance creation by Grace Poggi, who will be re- membered for her rhumba inter- pretation in "The Kid from Spain" |" are details in the productions panorama.
 Eddie has three songs. "Keep Young and Beautifur' and Build a Little Home," and Tax On Love-.
 Eddie plays sistful, dewy- eyed lad in West Rome, Okla homa, whose imagination carries him back to the aid of beauty in distress in the Rome Of the Caes- ars to fantastic complications in court intrigue, ending in a stir ring chariot chase, with the em- peror's soldiers in hot pursuit of Eddie who has gained possession of a court secret. Of course Ed die escapes back, in fact. to West Rome, Oklahoma.
 Don't wait until the last minute but arrange to-day to get in and see this great entertainment of the the year at the same Poli popular prices.

 The principles, guided by the The hand of the director, con- tribute performances that scintil- late and bounce.

STRAND


 With Constance Bennett starring in colorful role, an exciting and romantic drama of wartime es- pionage heads the lurrent program at Warmers Strand. The film is RKO-Radio Pirtures' After To- night, It deals with the activities of feminine secret service agent operating in the danger zone and in Vienna! Cleverly written, beau- tifully acted, and expertly direct ed, it provides superb entertain ment which should please every class of audience.
 The delectable Miss Bennett never has been seen to better ad- vantage than she is in her role of an Allied spy who carries out her dangerous missions behind the Austrian lines during the World War. Playing with rare skill and understanding, she invests the character with great realism and sympathy. Gilbert Roland gives m exceptional performanee as an Aus. trian intelligence officer whom duty rmakes the, relentless enemy Of the woman he loves.

and two federal operatives, were driven off a lease at Kilgore the other day at gun point. However, oil code authorities have no doubt that bootlegging can be stopped and virtually airtight control of production made a reality.
 One oil man told me he believed 50 federal agents with proper au- thority could do more toward rul- ing the oil fields than the whole N; .:onal Guard.
 We have had very little trouble with compliance" l.. E. Barrows, chairman of the state production committee told me. '"The principal difficulty now lies in the fact that the code is not yet complete, and does not contain a complete sched- ule of wages.

Her lips betrayed her to the King and made him her subject. A delightful romantic comedy in the continental manner, played to the rhythm of Hitting music.
 Tim Mccoy, popular action star, and Sue Carol have the leading roles in the new Columbia drama, "Straightaway" which is the com panion feature. The story is tale of. the roaring race tracks, with Mccoy cast as racing driv- CT. Several nationally known championship drivers have roles in the picture. A feature of the production is an actual smashup on race track, in which a num- Der of speeding cars are involved.

LAST ROUNDUP
 FOR BUFFALO
Corraling of Wild Herd on European Plains to
 Be Made Soon

Paris (UP)-Steps are to be taken in 1884 to round up the last wild herd of European buffalo.
 The average Continental school boy would be as surprised as the average American to know that wild bison actually roam the plains of Central Europe. Like wise, 1t is not well known that these animals once ran free fin great numbers west of the Urals.
 The last wild herd is in the Uk- raine, according to n survey pub- lished recently. These animals arc survivors of a great herd which as late as 1918 inhabited the Lith. uanian forests of Bielovege.
 In addition 10 the Ukraininn herd, whose numbers are estimnt. cd at between 70 and i9b, there arc as many. or more, bison in captivity. There are 27 on R dueal estate in Poland, i2 in the park of Count Arnin in Prussia Rf many in tho Pruaslnn government pFoserve, iinnoyeri 7b or more on the lands of the Prince Of PlesslH Upper Bil0Hla, and four or i've in private parks ln sweden,

were raising chickens and gardens, or going fishing on those days off. I, met one driller way up in New Mexico taking a long trip on &C., cumulated days off.
 And you couldn't help observ- ing that he was burning gasoline that wouldn't have been used if he still was working seven days a week."
 This improvement in the oil bus- mess had a tremendous and im- mediate effect on the southwest, for the oil business is a cash af- fair; which settles up once a month.
 Just so this picture may not ap- pear perfect, 12 refineries in east Texas are making a legal fight on the code and have not yet signed with the Federal Oil administra- ton, and more than 250 cases of alleged violation of the oil code have been checked in Washington.
 The money question seems little remote down here. If a man is producing oil, or cotton, or wheat, or livestock, he knows that, whatever kind of money is decided on, people must come and give it to him for his oil or cotton.
 He is in a different fix from . the city worker with 8 fixed sal- ary, wages, or savings, who nev- CT has anything of value but money.
 This basic difference is reflected in the attitude of bankers. One banker here told me that he
