PIRACY IS CHARGED
TO FILM COMPANY
Writer Claims $1,000, 900 Value
for Manuscript Returned
to Him.

Charging that the movie THE Roard
to Glory" was based on play he
wrote and that his composition was
"pirated" by the Twentieth Century
Fox Film Corp, Robert H. Sheets Of
Jackson, Tenn, asked District Court
today to compel the concern to ac-
count for profits and cease exhibiting
the film. He valued his manuscript at
100000
Through Attorneys Horace L.
Lohnes and H. L. Mccormick, he said
he wrote play entitled. "The Road to
Glory" and in February. 1885, sub
mitted it to Twentieth Century Fox.
In due time, it was returned with
the advice that 1t could not be used,
he continued. Then, on November Is,
1886, he said, he learned for the first
time that the film company had pro-
duced picture called "The Road to
Glory" fastening to see it, he found
that it embodied in substance" his
own play, he asserted Twentieth
Century. he said, was guilty of "pirat-
ing the plaintiffs words, scenes, ar
rangements, dialogue and ideas ="
Although he pointed out number
of alleged similarities, he said 1t
would be necessary for the court to
view the film to make an accurate
comparison Of 1t with his manuscript.
Not only was his play taken without
his consent. but it was changed as to
constitute "a false, absurd and per-
verted presentation Of the thoughts.

till intended to convey" thereby

FORESTERS' GROUP
PROTESTS CHANGE
Transfer to Interior Is Held
Threatened Under
New Bill.
BY WILL P. KENNEDY.

Protests that the transfer OF the
Forest Service from the Department
of Agriculture to the Interior Depart
ment is threatened under the new
Senate reorganization bill are being
made individually to each member Of
Congress by the Society OF American
ForeSters.
In spite of the fact that administra-
tion spokesmen have announced the
plan was abandoned under the new
Robinson bill. H. H. Chapman, presi-
dent of the society, insists there are
definite indications" that this move Is
intended. He points out that in the
printed version of the new bill on June
%, the clause exempting the Forest
Service was deliberately omitted"
and the bill now reads:
Nothing in subsection (a) shall be
construed to authorize the President
(5) to abolish or transfer to any other
agency any Of the functions exercised
by the Engineer Corps Of the Army
or the Mississippi River Commission
in administering any laws relating to
rivers and harbors or flood control"
The proposal to transfer the Forest
Service caused Nation wide protest
that brought Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace and Secretary Of Interior
1ckes into sharp conflict-so much so,
in fact, that it was announced from
official sources that forestry would be
left undisturbed. Now, however. it is
pointed out there has again been a
change of heart. and the reasons for
this change may be tied in closely to
certain testimony at public hearings
on June 4. Rufus Poole, solicitor for
the Interior Department, proposed the
following amendment
''The Forest Service and all the
functions thereof, together with its
personnel records, files, supplies, Office
furniture, equipment and property OF
every kind, unexpended balances OF
appropriations and all allotments In
the District of Columbia or elsewhere
are transferred from the Department
of Agriculture to the Department OF

or in the administration Of the Forest
Service, are transferred to the Secre-
tary of the Interior

NEEDY AGED PAY
CHECKS ARE READY
Slash in Red Tape to Let
1900 Get Aid Despite
Act Being Delayed.

Subsistence payments for Washing
tons $500 persons on the old-age as
sistance program-help up since July
l because of delay in passage of the
Districts 1888 appropriation act
were to be sent out late today or to-
morrow under special arrangements
made today at the District Building.
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor, announced at noon that all
the checks were ready and would be
distributed as soon as authority was
forthcoming from the Treasury and
the controller generals office
When the plight of the $500 needy
aged became known, District officials
sought means Of slashing red tape in
order to prevent any further priva-
tions for those dependent on the
monthly checks.
A large majority of the $500 cases
formerly were on relief, payable by
the District Government. When they
were found eligible for the old-age
assistance program, they were trans
ferred to that phase of the social
security program. Had the District
appropriation act for the new fiscal
year been passed by Congress and
signed by the President under normal
procedure, the funds would have been
available before July l. and there
would have been no delay in the
drawing of the checks.
The Districts financial crisis de-
layed passage Of the supply bill in
the first place, and it was also delayed
by controversy over what new tax
measures should be adopted to meet
the 1888 deficit which is imposed by
the appropriations for the new year.
While the average old-age benefit
check amounts to only s25 month,
District officials said they were with
out authority to make any advance
to their old-age clients, even though
the District supply bill had been
passed, since it was required that
all such checks pass through regu-
lar routine,
