shooting. But at Woonsocket condi-
tions grew momentarily worse and the
police commissioner of the city asked
the governor to obtain federal troops
to stop the rioting. The major in
command Of the National Guardsmen
there admitted the situation. was out
Of control Great crowds were looting
shops in the downtown section and 9TH
ers were threatening the Woonsocket
Rayon company's plant.
Fearing major bloodshed and death,
Governor Green read the riot act and
asked President Thomas f. Mcmahon
of the United Textile Workers of Amer
lea to hasten there from Washington.
The governor also ordered the mobili-
cation of 1000 World war veterans and
statewide roundup of Communist agi-
tators.
Exploiting the employers refusal to
compromise, the Gotten textile code au-
thority pointed out that the hours and
wages and other conditions against
which the union Is striking are set
forth in an MIRA code. This code, the
employers say, was set up to be the
Flaw merchant" for the industry, and
the strike, therefore, is an attempt to
change the Industrial law by violence
and intimidation.
EOUR members of the Du Pont
L family, Pierre, Irenee, Felix and
Lammot, appeared before the senate
munitions inquiry committee and told
Of the huge business the Du Pont
corporation has done in supplying war
material. Between 1914 and 1918 the
company, which was founded in 1902
to manufacture black powder, filed
$1,245, 100000 worth of war orders. In
that time it did about 30 times the
business it had in the year just be-
fore the World war, when its sales
amounted to $36,OO0,OOO.
Irenee du Point testified that the
corporation subscribed to preferred
stock in the German dye patents seized
during the war by the United States.
He said these patents had resulted in
a great service" to America. The
corporation entered the dye business
after the war as licensee of the
Chemical foundation, Du Pont said.
There did not seem to be anything
very sensational or scandalous in the
facts ELECTED from the Du Points, but
previous witnesses had told lot about
the deals Of airplane companies and
other corporations with foreign ma
lions in which it was alleged they had
been aided by United States diplo-
mats and army and navy officers. There
was a lot, too, about graft on the
part of South American government
officials. One of the stories told
brought in the name Of King George
of England, and this resulted in Of
fetal protests by British diplomats
both in Washington and in London.
Just what Senator Nye and his COM
mittee expect to do with the informa-
ton they are gathering is not certain.
There are suggestions of government
ownership or at least government con-
troll of all war munition manufacture
ing and selling. Plenty of evidence was
brought out to prove that the makers
of these wares sell to both sides in
warfare.

The ships master, Capt. Robert Will
mott, had died of heart disease only
a few hours before the tragedy, and
William f. Warns, chief officer, was
in command. With II other officers
and members of the crew he stood by
the blazing ship until the hulk was
towed to Asbury Park and beached.
Several of the surviving passengers
testified before the federal steamboat
inspection board that no alarm was
sounded and little or no aid was given
panic-stricken passengers by the mem
bers of the crew. Then George W. Rog-
ers, chief radio operator, and his first
assistant, George I. Alagna, told of
the delay in sending out the sos call,
asserting they could not obtain an or
der for it from the bridge. This, OF
course, was explained by the usual re-
luctance Of steamship officers to call
for help because the salvage charges
are heavy. Alagna was put under ar
rest as material witness after he had
told his story to a federal grand jury.
The value of his testimony was some
what lessened by Rogers admission to
both the board and the grand jury that
Alagna had been distrusted by Captain
Wilmott as a radical and an agitator,
and that Alagna some months ago tried
to instigate riot on the ship as a pro-
test against the food served the crew.
The first actual evidence indicating
that the fire was Of incendiary origin
was furnished by Quartermaster Gus
Harmon.

been gasoline because it Travelled much

Other officers Of the ship testified
that they believed the fire was of
incendiary origin and was fed by
gasoline or chemicals, but they could
suggest no motive for such horrible
crime. Acting Captain Warns said he

THE International Typographical
4 union, in convention at Chicago, de-
feated a proposal by delegates repre-
senting local No. 6 Of New York for
four day thirty hour week, to be
optional with each local by referen-
dunn vote. Charges were made that the
plan had been instigated by COmmun-
lists in control of the New York local,
who are seeking to wreck the interna-
tional organization and vilify its Of
ficers.
The accusation was denied by the
president of the local, which has
membership Of 10000 union printers
in New York. Other delegates sup
piled the convention with circulars
setting forth the charges of communis-
tic interference.
EFFORTS of President Roosevelt's
IL mediation board to bring about
peaceful settlement of the textile strike
failed when the employers, according
to the board, refused to make any con-
cessions that would open the way to
arbitration. The strike leaders had in
sisted that all the mills must remain
closed pending arbitration, and this
was rejected by the mill owners. The
cotton textile employers then declared
fatty that they did not believe the is
sues at stake are appropriate subjects
for arbitration"
The immediate result of this break
down in negotiations was the resump-
ton of violence and disorder, especial
ly in Rhode Island. Thousands of
strikers and their sympathizers fought
with National Guard attachments in
Saylesyille and Woonsocket, driving
back the greatly outnumbered soldiers.

lets were used to check the rioters and

CHARMING TEAM HEADS CAST OF.
 ROMANTIC PLAY.
Claudette Colbert, Fredric March Play Leads in
 Tonight Is Ours

With Frederic March and Clau- dette Colbert as the stars. "Tonight Is Ours" opened last night at the Capitol Theatre and proved as de- lightful a piece of romanticism as has come this way in @ long time.
 The film is based on a play by Noel Coward, author of "Private Lives" and many other outstano- ing successes. Therein lies the req son for the brilliance of it's dia- logue and the light-hearted galety of much of it's action. Edwin Justus Mayer, author of The Firebrand and other romantic plays, did the adaptation for the screen. Therein, the reason for it's glamorous over tones. Stuart Walker, adept both in comedy and high romance, has done his usual fine job of direct ing.
 As for Miss Colbert and March, these two extraordinary young play CTS have seldom been seen to better advantage than in the role Of the lovers. who meet in Paris, are part ed, and find each other again for night of love on the night before the girls scheduled marriage to another man. They make one of the finest romantic teams on the screen. Secondary roles, too, are brilliantly portrayed by such play CTS as Alison Skipworth, Arthur Byron and Paul Cavanaugh.
 Tonight Is Ours" is not a pie ture to be missed! It is thorough ly delightful!

DAME FoRTU NE HAS SMILE FOR BOOTS MALLORY
Special Recording Used in Filming Jimmie Dunn's
 Hello, Sister

Fortune. which smiled sweetly on Boots Mallory when she was award ed the feminine lead in Fox Films Hello, Sister" continued to lavish favors upon her while tho picture was still in it's preparatory stages. Special equipment, on rush order, was made available to record the picture on the new wide range" sound system, the latest gift of science to the talking screen. Miss Mallory was thus assured of the best voice recording possible, mak- ing hers the first performance to be recorded by the new device.
 Wide range" is a development that, in the language of the laity, adds more than an octave on the low end of the piano keyboard and almost an octave above the high one. This, in the language of the technician, gives a constant ire quency range from almost 50 cy- cles on the low end of the notes we commonly hear on the bass viol to around 10000 cycles on the up- per range-sound which comes from the oboe, flute and other in- struments of the kind as well IS the harmonics and overtones of the human voice.
 Regarded as the most likely find of this screen season, the first re- corded scenes of Miss Mallory using wide range" revealed her voice to be much softer and of even more liquid quality than was heard in the screen tests by which she was awarded her Fox contract.
 Hello, Sister" featuring James Dunn, with zaSu Pitts, Minna Gombel and Torrance Ray in fea- tured support, is romantic drama of New York life and love.
 It will open tonight at the Coli scum theatre.

PRESENT QUIET, POLITICALLY,I IS

Republican Senators Trying to Dig Up Shots
 for Campaign
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, May 3. It might have been the unusually spring like weather Washington had around Easter, or perhaps causes more significant, but the fact re- mains that the grand old game of partisan politics is humming along at the present with spirit it hasn't shown for more than a year. ,
 Representative Wadsworth of New York, former Republican Sem ator whose name is mentioned in connection with his party's hopes for 1886, has scored the new dealp in nationwide address.
 Senator White of Maine, in a speech before the Republican State convention of that state, urged militant opposition to those vag- aries in government toward which in our temporary distress we have been beguiled."

Borah of Idaho, ever alert to sense a shift in the political wind, has given indications that all is not we'll in his eyes. In a recent speech in the Senate he all but laughed at Congress for surrender ing it's authority in the matter of processing taxes.

SKEPTICISM REVIVED

Ordinarily such happenings would go unnoticed by politicians and those who make it their business to keep tab of politics. At the present, however, the faintest stir is set down and subjected to care ful analysis.
 The past year has been one de- void of the usual in politics. Aside from occasional long distance snip ing, politicians for the most part have been as quietly bewildered by the dazzling arade put on by the present administration as have the common, every day citizens.
 Unless the signs fail, however, they are beginning to catch their breaths. Astonishment is giving way to skeptieism in many in-
 The politically charmed life which the administrator shas been living for more than 6 year ap- parently is about to be supplanted by a stiffer struggle for existence.

Need Advance Knowledge

Advance knowledge Is important because the water flowing over the new dam will be clear water, free of most of the silt it now carries. The mud will sink to the bottom while the water is standing be- hind the dam. It probably will be the first time in centuries that clear water has flowed through the lower Colorado river channel
 Engineers want to know whether this clear water will SCOUT and erode the bed and banks of the river below the dam much more than the present muddy water, al- ready so saturated it can pick up little more sand.

 WASHINGTON, May B. A small-boy game played in earnest by scientists-building toy rivers in a sand pile-is showing the way here to solution of problems con- nected with the water-supply and irrigation works to be served by Boulder dam.
 The toy river in this case is a miniature Colorado river. and the sand pile" was shipped 2,000 miles direct from the Colorado's bed to Washington for scientific experi- ments at the bureau of standards hydraulic laboratory under direc- tion of H. N. Eaton and Dr. c. A. Wright.

Old John Martin winced as his young wife slammed the front door behind her, and clattered down the steps. He listened to the dimin- | ishing click of her heels dashing toward the curb. Heard the thud of the taxi door--the shifting of ] gears-then the purring motor, as 1 they started down the street, bound ] for the railway station-and a i, Reno train.
 He relaxed. Sighed exaggerated ly, and numbered from the hall in- to the pretentious living room, where he slumped into an uphol- stered chair.
 Another wife gone," he unused. "The fourth bust-up in fifteen years, and over another silly req son." This time it was his weak ness for onions. He felt spent, and rang for a cocktail. When the butler appear ed he said, Well, Jenkins, looks like we're alone again for awhile. Maybe it's a good thing, though. I'm getting fed up with matrimony It's always the same story-I ir- ritate 'em. Either it's my snoring, or the way I chew my food, or l belch too much. Bah! Guess I'm stuck for another huge settlement now"
 I'm sorry, sir,' Jenkins re- piled.
 John set his empty glass on the adjacent table, and rubbed his bald head.
 Sometimes I wonder if these girls didn't fall in love with my bank book instead of with me-" he laughed wryly. But I'm just tell ing you. Jenkins,'' he continued. lone of these fine days I'm going away where no one knows me. The women will have to like me for myself alone. I'm not a bad sort, Jenkins. You know-a gay old dog, even if I am 60." He laughed hoarsely, vibrating his puffy jowls. And not such, a bad locker, either, am I, Jenkins?"
 Jenkins lifted his eyebrows, but said quite respectfully, No, sir
 The following summer found John Martin carrying out his threat at a popular mountain resort.
 He smiled to himself as he glanced, out of his reasonably priced cabin window, at the ex- pensive hotel a short ways down the road. Yes, sir, he'd been pretty smart all right. No one would ever guess he was worth a large fortune.
 The next morning, clad in a hik- ing outfit, he started out for a stroll-and perhaps mild fiirta- ton. Before he'd gone far. two young girls just ahead of him att tracted his ogling old eyes. He readjusted his cap, smoothed his griZZled temples, and waddled af- ter them with a confident stride.
