TOWNSEND PROBE
SHIFTS TO WEST
Investigators to Go to Coast
as Committee Here
ReceSSeS.
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

After two days of effective presenta-
tion of some of the business practices
followed by key officials in the Town
send old age pension movement, the
Bell Investigating Committee of the
House was in recess today for an in
definite period.
During this interim, investigators,
accompanied perhaps by Committee
Counsel James r. Sullivan, are to be
dispatched to the West coast to probe
activities of certain Townsend leaders.
Here, the committee will consider
the advisability of seeking additional
funds to make complete audits of
books of both the Old Age Revolving
Pensions, Ltd, and the Prosperity
Publishing Co. The latter, originally
owned by Robert E. Clements and DR..
F.E. Townsend, publishes the Town.
send Weekly.
$4,000 Cost of Audit.
Financial records of o. A. r. p. were
"neither complete nor accurate prior
to July /. 1885. but are in reasonably
good shape since that date" the COM
mittee was told yesterday by John
Bloodsworth, accountant for Price,
Waterhouse g. Co. A complete audit
of books of the o. A. R. P. alone would
cost between $4,000 and $4,000, he
estimated. with no figure possible on
how much a similar examination of
the publishing company books would
cost.
Numerous developments spotted the
two sessions of yesterday, some OF
them follow:
l. @. A. R. P. had not up to April l
received l cent Of $1,700 taken in at
q February mass meeting in Oakland,
Calf. Clements said that he had in
sisted the money should be turned
over to the national organization but
that DR.. Townsend had objected.
Sullivan charged that the doctor
'pocketed" the sum. Sheridan Downey,
attorney for Townsend, said later
that the money had been spent in
behalf of a third party movement. a
scheme which Clements did not ap-
prove.
Ad. Revenues Probed.
2. Main source of revenue Of the
Townsend Weekly was patent medi-
cine advertising, "quack" remedies for
old persons, acceptance of which
seems to have been a subject of dis
pute between Clements and Town
send. Clements told the committee
that he had disapproved much of
such advertising but Sullivan later
read letter from Clements to M. D.
Cert. advertising manager of the
Weekly, in which Clements suggested
making a special effort to obtain one
such contract. If necessary, he sug-
gested, a picture of a naked woman
could be run with the ad. Clements
explained that this was an attempt
at levity.
3. Question of retaining Cert on the
Weekly was a controversial issue sew
eral times between Clements and
Townsend. The formers explanation
was that he suspected Cerf's dealings
with the company. At various times
both of them had wanted to dismiss
Cert, Clements said, but since their
wishes never had coincided the action
had not been taken. AS matter
of fact, he added, Cerfs salary re-
Gently has been raised from $50
weekly to $1O0 weekly.
4. Circulation revenue of the Weekly
as long ago as March, 1884, was more
than $500 per week. None Of this or
of the advertising revenue went to
o. A. r. P. but was retained by the
Clements Townsend owned publishing
company.

ception of God THE Green Pas
lures" captivated in 1880 a first
night audience in New York, and
since that time 1,178 other audi
ences in various theaters and opry
houses throughout the country,
people have been wondering what
kind of movie it would make.
Or, rather, what kind of picture
the movie makers would make out
of it? Would they transform

of which depended largely upon
its simplicity, into something hor-
ribly moviesque in order to slap
upon it the overworked tag Of

THE Green Pastures" is now in

studio in Burbank and you will be
glad to know, if you have been one
Of the dubious, that no drastic
changes in mood, setting or theme
have been made or planned. You
may have Marc Connelly's word

Mr.. Connolly has now deserted

You may see him any day, a

than a good performance. the
while his cameraman arranges
lights and works out shooting

'Tf The Green Pastures turns
out badly as film, there will be
no one to blame but myself" he
told me.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 25.-What
are the pictures that have made
motion picture history as indus
try builders?
They are 10 in number, and
only 10, according to a con-
senSus of the 10 leading directors
in the business.
All agreed on the first: D, W.
Griffiths' THE BIRTH OF A
NATION" made in 1915. 1t took
cinema out of the novelty class
and established it as definite
theater.
The second picture, eight direc-
tors voted, was "THE FOUR
HORSEMEN OF THE APOCA.
LYPSE." This gave the industry
the so-called road show" a mo-
ton picture that played twice
daily only in a reserved seat audi
ence. This picture was made in
1921.
In 1928 two pictures came
forth, both from the same COM
pany, each a milestone for the
industry. One was THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS" directed by
c. B. De Mile, the other James
cruces THE COVERED WAC.
ON" 1.-THE Ten Command
ments," reverently religious in
tone, majestic in scope, won for
motion pictures a new audience
of hundreds of thousands, people
who never before had been inside
a motion picture theater. The
Covered Wagon" was the first OF
the historical epicS clarifying In
dividual accomplishment, a saga
of national heroiSm and achleVe-
ment.
At this time also came THE
ACK OF NOTRE
DAME" first of the horror
melodramas and one viii c h
opened up a new field Tor tne
cameras.
"THE BIG PARADE" issued in
1925, started a flood Of war
stories, a emen d Gus peace
preachment which still carries on
to the benefit of entire mankind.
In 1927 THE JAZZ SINGER"
changed the whole motion pic
ture scheme. Sound came to the
screen, words and music that
opened up a new and vast store
house of entertainment.
In 1882 GRAND HOTEL" was
made, and imposing call star
casts in drama confined to q
single setting became the vogue

and lasting effect.

The committee declares that

The statement, signed by 81
members of the committee, recon-

l. That all silver purchases

June 10, 1884, be stopped immedi-
ately and that the act be repealed.
2. That all silver purchases

abandonment of such silver pur-
chaseS be sent to the SignerS Of
the international silver agreement

Since one of the announced pur-

BY MILTON A. BOSLEY, D. v. M.
A dog rapidly gaining in popu-
larity in the United States is the
English sheep dog. This woolly
animal resembles a longlegged ter
rier.
When kept well-groomed, he is a
handsome pet and attracts much
attention. He is not only very af-
fectionate but also highly intelli-
gent. He has one great drawback,
however. His massive shaggy coat
requires no end of brushing and
combing. and bathing.
The origin of the breed like a.
most all of the shepherd classes
is virtually unknown, although
many opinions have been ad-
vanced as to his birthright.
The breed is not to be confused,
however, with the collie show dog;
as a matter of fact he bears no
resemblance whatever to this ia
miliar type.
AS a practical helper he is used
a great deal in the sheep ranges
of western Canada, just as is true
where he is best known, in the
northern part of England. He is
also favored in Scotland, as well
as in Wales, where he is actually
used for tending sheep. Welsh
sheep are usually so wild that
they require fast dog herder Of
this type.
Although a working dog, his
good disposition makes him a
splendid pet and he may well hold
his place near the top of the ca
nine family in this respect.
