DECISION ON
GOLD CLAUSE
MEETS DELAY

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. W.D =
The supreme court will not hand
down decision in the gold clause
cases on Monday, 1t was announc-
ed today.
A brief announcement read as
follows:
The chief justice, In order to
avoid an unnecessary crowding OF
the courtroom on Monday, directs
the clerk to announce that the
court is not ready as yet to an
nounce a decision in the gold
clause cases and hence there will
be no announcement on that day."
WASHINGTON, Feb. Q. W.D -
Justices of the supreme court met
today in secret conference assumed
to be the last exchange of views be-
fore announcing their decision on
the new deal gold policy.
The court will convene at noon
Monday to render opinions. The ad-
ministration hopes but dares not
suggest the court announce its gold
decision then, ending suspense
which has becalmed securities mar
kets and caused world wide inter-
est.
The court may or may not dis
cuss gold. None of the nine justices
has intimated when the decision
will be announced nor what it will
be.
Students of court procedure be-
lieve, however, the opinion will be
read Monday, perhaps after p. m,
when security markets in the east
ern half of the United States, In
Europe and the Orient will be
closed. Shanghai and other Oriental
spectators would be the first to
have advantage Of an open mar
ket after decision rendered at
such a time. Then European mar
kets and the London exchange
would open. Five hours later the
New York stock exchange would be-
gin trading at 10 a. m, EST.
Administration leaders expressed
confidence the court would uphold
government action which made
$10O. 1000, 100000 in gold clause bonds
payable in current legal tender.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1. (SpeciaD
Say, my friend the mayor
wasn't to blame about the snow.
He couldn't get the labor, they
were all on relief. Now moving
snow in New York City used to
be the one big job that they
layed for, but no more.
Now that's what IS going to
turn some of the sympathy for
relief away. When the impress
sion gets around that people are
being fed who won't work, you
will have an about-face on this
relief situation. Nobody can kick
on honest deserving relief, and
nobody can be blamed for kick
ing on relieving somebody when
they won't work.
The governments and towns
have got to find some way of
telling them apart. Maybe fin
ger-printing would do 1t, or one
of those Gle detectors." ANY,

The eclipse will be visible In all
parts of the United States and
most of Canada.
Amateur astronomers we're warn
ed by DR.. Clyde Fisher, of the Am

ton in attempting to get better
views of the eclipse by using binoc-
ulars and telescopes. He said SER

unless such instruments were
equipped with special lenses. He
said the simple piece of glass,
smoked with a match or candle,
was still the best devised means
for amateur use.
The present eclipse will be visible
only in North America, extending
from Central America to northern
most Canada. The next celestial
phenomenon for Americans to see
will be total eclipse of the moon,
July 16.

New Alex YokeI Play Jsnuary13

Alex Yokel is about to make
what is developing into his an
nual pilgrimage to washington.
Last January he brought Three
Men on a Horse" to the Ma.
tional. Three Men on a Horse"
is now represented by a company
in New York. a company in Bos-
ton, two troupes on the road, and
two more in preparation. one for
London and one for Australia.
This January. Mr.. Yokel will
again come to the National, this
time with a new play entitled
Julie, the Great"
When Julie, the Great" opens
here on January 10, he will pre-
sent one of the most glamorous
personalities in the theater. He
will feature Beth Merrill, fore
most of the late David BelaSco
stars.
In addition to this. the author
is equally outstanding in his field.
The author is John fainter Foote,
whose fiction is regularly tea-
tured in leading publications.
CHAPLIN FOR PALACE
Charlie Chaplin's latest picture,
Modern Times" will play the
Loew Theaters and will be Wash
ington booking at the Palace late
in January. Wired word to this
effect was received today from
Oscar A. Doob, chief of the Loew
exploitation and advertising de-
partment.
Chaplin signed the contracts
yesterday after long negotiation.
He exacts more for his releases
than any other producer, and ex-
hibitors usually haggle but finally
pay the price. His last picture,
"City Lights" was released five
years ago and crossed more than
five million dollars. It played
Loew's Columbia here.
Another stipulation exacted by
Chaplin is that there be no pre-
views for critics nor any ex-
hibition of the picture except
with audiences. He feels a col
lective comic reaction produces
the best results.
Modern Times" has been two
years in the making and is said
by those who have been privileged
a studio peep to be most ex-
.hilirating in humorous posi-
bility. In it Chaplin plays a
factory worker who gets into
various kinds of difficulty and
comical situation.
While Modern Times" has a
Syncronized musical score and
most of the characters talk, the
star, as usual plays in pantomime.
