R *'% % ¥ Gossip, News and Views Heard and Seen Among Delegates at Convention’s HAT state of suspended anima- tion of the elements previous to a storm, so well known in nature, is having its prototype evidenced at the Memorial Continent- al Hall today. There is & sort of & hushed waiting for the break of the storm in the election campaign. Gan- didates are evidencing it by the general suppression of excitement visible through that very suppres- sion. Tonight's the night and tomorrow's the day. Nominations will be made at this evening's Ses- sion and the single word “voting” on the program for tomorrow looms up, more importantly to those attending the congress than any other an- nouncement on the list. Who will it be: Mrs. Anthony Wayne Hope of Pennsylvania or Mrs. G. Wallace W. Hanger of Washing- ton, D. C., or Mrs. William Cumming Story, or some “dark horse” as vet being groomed for the office of pres- fdent general behind a veil of secrecy? These are the questions animating the delegates. Tomorrow will bring the answer. Quietly and unostentatiously, state delegations have been holding meet- ings for the past few days. at which delegates “talked of many things." These state meetinge in the past—and in every probability in the present— have been scen for the discu mn oting on candidates for national lofices. They resemble political c meetings at which plans are la {for the procedure of the assembly along certain lines.

Largest Theater Owners. The Trade Commission’s complaint recites that the Famous Players-Las- key Corporation is the largest thea- ter owner in the world; that in one week in 1920 more than 6,000 thea- ters—or approximately a third of alll the picture houses in the United States—showed nothing but Para- mount pictures, and that about 67 cents of every dollar that was paid to enter picture theaters went for entry to those theaters which dis- played Paramount pictures. \ Some of the more serious chlrl’(‘l‘ leveled against the defendante, for the alleged purpose of throttling Je etition, are: Ry Threatening to build. lease or {operate theaters in competition with exhibitors who refused to sell or lease their houses: (b) Threatening to cut off or inter- fere with the film service of such exhibitors who refused to so sell or lease their theaters; (c) Secretly offering higher rentals, effective upon expiration of leases held by exhibitors who refused to sell | or lease such theaters; : (d) Temporarily reducing the price | of admission charged by theaters | owned or controlled by the respond ents below that charged by exhibitors who refused to sell or lease their | theaters. Similar methods of “coercion and | intimidation” are alleged to have been used to compel independent exhibitors to book and exhibit films produced or distributed by the Famous Players- Lasky Corporation. Through Joheph W. Folk, former Governor of Missouri. their counsel at Washington, the principal defend- | ants enter a sweeping denial of the Federal Trade Commission's con- spiracy charges. They contend that wholesale purchase of theaters and other actlvities were undertaken in pursuance of . legitimate self-de- | fensive measures and in no spirit of | attempted monopoly.

By the Associated Pre NEW YORK, April Mercier of Belgium, herolc prelate of the world war, has written Columbia, | the official magazine of the Knights of Columbus, suggesting that the league of nations etart an interna- tional crusade against the Russian soviets to wipe out barbarism and sateguard civilization. “In four years” wrote Cardinal Mercler, “the world war mowed down, 1 belleve, ten millions of human lives. In a little more than that time bol shevist socialism has sacrificed from twenty to thirty millions. Suggests No Means. “It is not for me to suggest the means whereby the red bands shall be disaimed and the legion of honor recruited which shall undertake the magnificent task of pacifying Russia, | and I surmise that if such a bold suggestion should reach the ears of the civil or miiitary heads some of them would find it Inopportune or unstrategic. ‘Assuredly it is very beautiful to assemble in a pacific convention the delogates of nations and to consider means of preventing future violations of right and_eventually to €uppre them. but while awaiting the posei- bilities of the future would it uot be wise to be concerned with the reality of the present? Would not the league of nations win universal confidence at one stroke if it succeeded in opening an_international crusade against the barbarism of the soviets for the safe- guarding of our age-old civilization? Threatens Europe. “The war exhausted the finances and perhaps also the reserve energies of the great natlons of Europe and the new world, otherwise it would he inexplicable that our heroic Belgium, Frence and Poland, Italy, Great Brit- in and the United States of Amer- ica, both peoples and governrgents, should look on without an ou %ur of indignation and action at the | molation of their generous ally of yesterday and allow hordes of bri- gands, led by an international band, | 1o experiment in blood, pillage and sacrifice with their mad dream of communism, and to agree to impcse it on the world by means of cannon and rifles, to threaten Poland and Ru- mania for tomorrow and for the day | after, perhaps, European civilization.’ A new Silesian building matertal is made from turf, which is cut into strips, fitted into a wooden frame, and Eiven a hardening and retaining coat- ing of cement and chalk.
