Rex Ingram’s production of “Mare Nostrum” (Our Sea) for Metro-Goldwyn, had its first show- ing at the Palace last night and is on for the reriainder of this week.

The inimitable comedy which goe: to make up so much of the enter tainment value of Mr. Thomson's pictures is present in intoxicating doses, while a cast which includes Olive Hasbrouck, Sheldon Lewis, Frank Hagney, Ivar McFadden, Joe Dowling, William Courtwright, Arthur Millet, Willie Fung and little Billy Butts enact the fea- tured roles splendidly. HICKMAN 1S NOW IN FEAR . LOS ANGELES, Cal, jan. 13 “aWilliam E. Hickman, fedfing eeling over the kidnapping, kill- ing and mutiliating of Marian Parkers, wants to face trial away from the scene of his confessed erime. Richard Cantillon, associated with Jerome Walsh in Hickman’s defense, announced he would ask for a change of venue ‘‘because all the people of Los Angeles County are biased and prejudiced against the defendant.” Cantil- lon’s ‘plans are expected to meet opposition of attaches of the Dis- trict Attorney’s office, who pre- dict that the trial will take place here on the date set. Hickman started the day in jail haggard as the result of the worst night yet spent behind the bars. He is usually a sound sleeper. He is reported to have alternately tossed restlessly and paced the floor fitfully until day- break when, apparently exhaust- ed, ke fell asleep.

HALL —TONIGHT — {Hard- Bl)ll{’d Facts About Alaska Told By Gen. Richardsoit (Continuea from Page One.) one of the drawbacks to Alaska has been the lack of self-govern- ment. “Ii mast be apparent,” he says, “that Alaskan affairs have been muddled; too much experi- menting and long-range control, not always in competent hands, form the gist of the matter aadl explain why this adopted child of the Republic has been needlessly backward.” The author offers “Home Rule” as the remedy. In support for his contention that Home Rule is the great need for Alaska, Gen. Richardson quotes an editorial that appeared in the New York Herald, July 6, 1 in which it was said: ‘Alaska will never be satisfiod until it gets the ‘Americah chance’ Some day the Federal Government must take the risk that Alaskans will know how 1. run Alaska and dispose of its r sources. It is better that mep grow through self government | than that things should be savel for their .descendants through thi holding power ®f a paternalistis government.” Gen. Richardson does not give much weight to the complaints ot “As locking bureaus and the lack co-ordination among them.” a matter of fact” he says, has had very little to do with the state of the Territory, The bur-| eaus function with efficiency and pretty much the same way 'in| Alaska as in the United Statoes! and Hawaiian Islands.” Picture Not All Dark Gen. Richardson’s picture is not all dark by any means. He com- pliments the Alaska Railroal management for accomplishiag much in the last three years “in the way of reorganization, stabili- of the railroad.” He favors, how- ever, the creation of a board re- sponsible directly to the Presi- dent to determine the policies of the railroad management with a general manager to work out the policies. He thinks this would be better than to have the policies determined by the Secretary of the Interior at Washington. He thinks the railroad ought to be bonded for $30,000,000, the inter- est on the bonds to be guaranteed by the Government, and-the bonds sold as money might be needed | for extensions, betterments anl| to meet deficits. He thinks this would guarantee the operation of the road for thirty years: At the end of that time, he thinks, if' the' road is not earning enough to pay its way it ought to be disposed of to private- interests for what Government can get. Compliments Forest Bureau Gen. Richardson = complimen sale of timber that has proved ac. ceptable to interests in the manu- facture of pulp and paper, sees Jarge possibilities in the pros: pect for the development of the timber under the leases that have been made and those which will follow successful development un- der them. Likewise he compllmenls the Government for changing its oil- about “the large number of inte- | “this | zation and economy of operation | the Forestry Bureau for working'! out a contract and lease for the and regulations so that they acceptable and have induced large companies to drill in the Territory for oil. Scenery Most Valuable Asset Gen. Richardson. contends that in ultimate value, scenery is Alas- ka's greatest asset. He say; “This is the one imperi ble asset of Alaska in the ordinary human estimate of duration, al though it is not capable of being measured at the present time in terms of money value. With this beauty of scene is found a cli- mate wonderfully invigorating and healthful, rigorous at times, yet free from most of the diseases common to warmer, and especial- ly tropical, regions. ! . Transpor- tation by sea is good, considering that the country is new, and toa- leasing are nage and passenger charges along | he coast is reasonable. The land transportation facilities are being steadily Dbettered with improve- ment and extension of roads anl trails.” “Alaska needs capital,” says Gen. Richardson, to develop in- dustries and support a population, and the cry that the Government is trying to give Alaska away, which once went up whenever | any mention of concession or en- couragement to capital was made, |is no longer popular. In fact the ‘(.u\t»rument could do nothing bet- {ter with Alaska, so far as de- velopment is concerned, than t» ‘give it away'—that is, to graut {liberal concessions and encourage- ment to citizens who are wiiling to go there, make nomes, and de- velop ine resources of the coun- |try as the settlers in the great I\H(ltll(‘ West did.” {Cupid’s Weapons De(y Land and Water Span BERLIN, Jan. 13—Cupid used i{a box containing a comb and a harmless slip of paper to bring Lisheth Aepfler of Naumberg and Robert Press of New York to- gether for life. Fraulein Aepfler, 21, blond and of a Jjolly disposition, is packer in a comb factory at Naumberg. One day as she was doing up an order destined for America, she decided, just for fun, to put into the package a slip of paper with the words, “Kind regards from the old fath- erland,” and her name and ad- dress. Robert Press, 23, a New York chauffeur who had emigrated to the States from Frankfurt-on- | Main seven years ago, found the \slip, wrote to Lisheth, exchanged {photographs with her and finally hoarded a steamer to see her. The engagement was promptly announced. Adverusing miways nays. Uny ithe no'umns of The Empire.
