MOVIE MAGNATE ACCUSES COMBIE Tells Will Hays He Heads “Trust” Warranting Fed- - eral Inquiry. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK; ‘February 7.—Trust methods calling for ffivestization by the Federal Government were alleged against the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, of which Will H. Hays is president, in a letter made public yesterday by Murray W. CGiarsson, head of Garsson Enterrrises, Inc., independent motion -picture pro- ducers. In his letfer, addressed to Mr. Havs Mr. Garssorm says that-he soon--will call a_meating hers_of-independent motion _ picture _producers, _disgribut- and exhibitors ‘throughout the country to consider a course of action st the alleged trust methods of Hays organization. This meeting. he wrote, “further will present the facts to the.proper branches of the Government for an investigation of this monopoly and for the enactment of such laws that will protect the in- dependent producers, the Independent exhibitors and the motion pictureé-go- ing public. Mr. Garsson's charges against the producers and distributors’ organiza- tion, which came into being several years ago for the purpose of levelling differences between various interests fn the motion picture industry, were similar to those recently voiced by the Vitagraph Company 6f America, oldest motion picture production unit in the country, on its withdrawal from the assoclation. It is charged that the picture men's body is con- ducted primarily in the interests of three producer-exhibitor firms—Fa- mous Players-Lasky, the Metro- Goldwyn crganization, in which Mar- cus Loew has extensive interests, and the I'irst National exhibitors. w.The letter was written in answer to one from Mr. Hays, which replied to an earlier missive complaining of the organization's alleged trust tactics.

OCHS WILL ASSIST MOUNTAIN SCHOOL Publisher Promises to Raise Million in New York for Institution. By the Associated Press, ATLANTA, Ga., February 7.—Im- portance of good roads and the work which the Berry School, at Rome, Ga.. is doing in educating the moun- taln boys and girls of the South were emphasized here yesterday by Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of the New York Times, In an address at a luncheon &iven in his honor by Clark Howell, edltor of the Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Ochs sald that he felt “that there can be no greater thing done for this section than the building now of good roads, because never before in the history of finance, and per- haps never again in the history of finance, will there be such a market At such a price for tax-evempt bonds such as the State could issue for the building of good roads.” “In my judgment,” Ochs sald, “the ETeatest asset the South has today is its negro population. They furnish a class of labor industrious and con- tented, unequaled anywhere else in the world. * - “1 wonder if the people of the South realize that they are not doing as much for this class of thelr popula- tion as they should do. I do not mean what the politiclans and others who are bent on ‘making mischief refer to as soclal equality—nothing is fur- ther from my thoughts. But I wonder if the people of the South could not do more for the negro iIn the way of education, sanitation, generous em- ployment and better modes of lving. If so, the South would not only help the negro race, but greatly benefit itself.” Mr. Ochs described his visit to the Berry School, saying Miss Martha Berry, its founder and head, declared she could take 100 more girls if she had a new dining hall, and that ‘would require $100,000. He said if Atlanta and Georgia would c ntribute that ::0“06:':)0"0)\‘9 w;,)uld guarantee to raise ! 3 n New York to m. 3 He added: i “‘As I looked into the faces of those boys and girls gathered there from east Tennessee and the mountains of North Carolina and the other sections of the mountainous country—where live, by the way, in my judgment, the finest race of people that I have ever known—I was thrilled. You gentle- men perhaps know it as well as I do, but there is no finer race of people on God's footstool than our mountain people in the South. 1 asked Miss Berry If there was something I could do, if there was something that was really needed at her school. She sald she could take a hundred more girls if she had a new dining hall, and that would require $100,000, and I told her that if Atlanta and Georgla would contribute that $100,000 I would guarantee to ralse $1,000,000 for her in New York to match it.” Mr. Ochs left here for Fiorida to spend a vacation.

(Continued from Yesterday's Star.) One cluster of folk about a house door parted, and a squad of Red Cross men emerged bearing a stretch- er. The form that lay so still under the spread sheet was terribly tiny. “Oh, no! No!" gasped the Presi- dent, ‘with a quiver of his lips as though in actual pain. The chief stopped the car, and was by the side of the stretcher almost in an instant. The President. followed him, as did Dan and L. An authori- tative gesture brought the bearers to 2 halt and the chief lifted the sheet. A girl-child lay under it, waxen- faced, and terribly still. Very tenderly the master stooped and examined the still, small figure. “Ah!" he murmured, and the relief in his volce locsed the tension in us others. *“The harm here {s more ap- parent than real. This little child is one of the rare people peculiarly susceptible to the anesthetic. I could indeed. wake her as I woke you, Mr. President—but I will not mar the delicate fairness of this small arm even by the tiny mark of a needle.” He gently placed the bare wee arm back across the grubby little overall. “Take her back to her bed, my friends,” he sald to the bearers. “Sleep is best for her. She will cer- tainly recover.” We were back In the automoblle and the President was white and shaken. > “If the child had been.hurt—if she had been hurt—" he kept reiterating in a low volce. The chief put his hard-on the President’s knee. - “If the child had been hurt, Ben Whitcomb,” he said gently but stern- 1y, “it would have been for you-to see to it that she was the last of the thousands of innocents, the last child- ‘How, Dave—-how?" “By giving me that conference, man!” “I have been blinded by my own obstinacy.

Then, after & pause: ‘ “God helping me, David Torrance,” he eaid clearly, “you shall have that conference—if ‘1 have to fetch each representative myself ‘We drove straight back to the White House in silence. CHAPTER V. The Surrender. ¢ Father and daughter faced ‘each other over the President’s fable. Kirsteen's look was one of incred- ulous horror. “My father!” she whispered. — “Daughter!” the chief sald gravely. Accident had brought about a pre- mature revelation of the relationship between them. The chief had stipu- lated that the revelation should not be made until he himself was ready to make it. This stipulation had come as a rellef to all of us who knew Kirsteen, for we had shared an apprehension that she would be deeply hurt when the identity of the chief of that league to which she had shown herself so strongly op- posed was made known to her. The President, who had brought about the untimely exposure, could hardly be blamed. Unlike Seton, Dan, or myself, who by habit thought and spoke of the chief by that title or as “the master,” the President could not think of him except as David Tor- rence, and in his emotion over the urns of dead and wounded, the name had slipped out “Thirty men ktlled-and elghty-four wounded,” he had-said soberly, “in the army alone, which does not in- clude the Air Service. In the civil list there are four killed and sixty- five wounded, some. of them seri- ously. -~ #Ot the four de the chief had said,_‘“‘none, trust, ars women or children?” the mercy of God, David Tor- the President had blurted, “only one woman appears in the civil list at all, and she is slightly injured.” Kirsteen, who was at the meeting in her capacity of personal secretary to_—the President,—stiffened-at -name. The remainder- of us;- in-the tension of the moment, might not have noticed the slip, but the girl grew pale as death. She half rose from her chalr. “What name did you give this man, uncle?” she whispered. It was then that the Iittle chief rose to face her. “Your mother's brother used the name I once bore, child,” he sald with that little air of gravity that sat on him so well. “He used it—as he used it before you were born—to the man who was his sister's husband— to the man who {s your father. “My father!” “Yes—daughter! “You my father! You, an Ishmael on the face of the earth—robber and pirate—a slayer of men! You my father!—the father I have revered ail these years as a good and great man lost before his time! O, cruel! Oh, horrible!” “My child,” the chief sald gently, “I would have spared you the burden of this knowledge. Indeed I would. 1f in time you had come to under- stand the purpose that has put your father's hand apparently against all men, that has laid on him the sorrow of men killed and maimed—it in time you had come to understand the Justice that has slain a few so that all might have freedom—then, and then only, might it have been made known to you that he who stands before you now was your father. It remains now to show cause why the hard names you put upon me, upon the true men who have sup- ported me, are undeserved. You shall judge, child, with the full knowledge of what lies behind the League of the Covenant. Come with me. I will try to heal the hurt in your heart, child. Gentlemen, you must pardon me for a space—"' “Oh, ‘what can you say to justify the terrible slaying of men—the rob- bery of banks? Oh, what can you say? Can evil ever be done that good may come? Oh, uncle, uncle! Why have you hid this thing from me? And you, Jumbo!” She turned to Seton. “You that I belleved so honest and. true! Jimmy! And you, Dan! Give me comfort. one of you! You, Jimmy—you said - before you went away—" She held out her hands to me— thank God, to me! I took them in mine. “Kirsteen,” I sald as gently and as distinctly as I could, for she was wil¢ with despair—“Kirsteen, I went in search of a pirate and a robber, as I thought—and I found a man whose purpose I instinctively trusted, a man of deep and courageous thought, of clear and kindly aims. Trust us all, Kirsteen, for none of us has fallen from honor—neither Seton, nor Dan Lamont, nor myself—least of all, your father! Trust him most, Kir- steen! Say something for the chief, Dan!" Dan put his hand on top of ou: “Kirsteen,” he said gravely, “‘way back there (o March, when I first met you, I told you how I reverenced, how all men of my calling must reverence, the name of David Torrence. I can tell you now, right out of my heart, that nothing your father has done has robbed him of his right to that reverence. Rather, when the whole account-is summed up, the world— and you—will find that he is worthy of the deepest love that can be given him!" “Kirsteen,” came the deep voice of blg Seton, and his great paw fell on top of Dan’s and ours, “take com- fort. Go with your fatl He can make everything clear.” “Kirsteen,” said the President, and his hand, too, came on_the bunch, “we have been wrong. Your father has been in the right Go with him, my dear.” - Kirsteen lifted her proud little THAT WEEKR WE GOT MORE $ Ore OUR EDITORIALS T time was not vet, and that the day was for her and her father. . Fourteen days had gone since the raid on Washington, and these had been busy days in the chancelleries of the powers. True to his word, the President had sent out messages that brooked of no delay to all the powers, and lead- ing men of science, with representa- tives of all nations. had been brought in Merlins to Washington. Ships of the United States and British navies had patrolled the routes by which the Merlins had brought back thelr pas- sengers. The world was on tiptoe with expectation. Milliken and T had flown to London on a machine built at Gardiner Bay, and we had brought back with us the aged, but still vigorous, Earl of Dun- four, Lord Almeric Pluscarden, Pro- fessors Rutherglen and Boddy, and a number of secretaries. From France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, and from other nations, men of like caliber to those passengers of ours had been brought with speed. Washington was crammed with news- paper men, and with a host of hangers-on, who crowded up the hotels and boarding houses. 1 had seen my father, who had come to the city to consult with the officials of the Treasury, and the old man's welcome—though bluff and casual—had shown me that my dis- appearance had given him deep anx- ity and sorrow. The meeting with him had not only shown me how much my father cared for me, but had given me a clear sight into how deep my affection was for him.

Christ’s Intercessory Prayer. —John, .17:1-26, - Golden Text —Holy. Father,” keep them in Thy name which Thou hast siven me, that they may be one, even as we are—John, 17:11. Humanlty's most priceless literary possession ¢ the Lord's Prayer, that cpens up to us the heart of the Christ. While we have been ac- customed . to call the prayer the Master taught His disciples to pray the Lord's Prayer, our lesson gives us the very words that Jesus used when He addressed God in the most critical hour of Hfs life. In them our Lord gave:-expression to ‘“the deepest feeling and..thought of His #pirit, clarified and concentrated by the prospect of death. Difficulties face us as meek to give an exposition of its meaning, due largely to the bewlildering richness of suggestion and material for comment. We draw near this holy of holles with un- sandaled feet, sceking to grasp something of the sublimest prayer ever uttered. Christ had come to the most sacred moment in all history when He turn- ed from talking to His disciples to commune with the Father at the hour, when His task was finished. He saw the blackest clouds upon the horizon. He knew that the cross would “be erected upon the morrow, and in the climax of His prayer life Jesus sought that He would be able to glorify the Father by the revelation of the di- vine love through all the approach- ing sorrows. During His ministry there had been seen glimpses of His glory, but He refers to His having possessed a greater glory than was revealed at the transfiguration. In making the request that He should be glorified, our Lord was seeking to have help from above to finish His mission, through His coming cruci fixion, resurrection, ascension and the outpouring of the holy spirit, in a perfect manner. He sought to be known In His true character, as the Son of God, Messiah and Savior of men. Back of Christ's prayer that He should be glorified was the desire to glority the Father and save men. It was for this that he praved. He wanted them to have “eternal life,” which Jesus stated meant “to know Thee the only true God, and Him whom Thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.” He sought in His closing experience to make God known, so that men would come through personal ex- perience to love Him, prove it by obedience and through their faith in Christ dedicate their whole life to God's service. He longed, through His closing trials, that the work of His life should be approved by a rev- elation to men that would enable them to understand the transcendent power of life over death, of the spiritual above the material, and of eternal life over perishing life. Praying for His Disciples. Erdnfan has well said that this chapter supplies an unanswerable ar- gument that proves the deity of Christ. He calls our attention to “the sublime self-consciousness of the speaker, His claim of universal dominion, His reference to a previous existence in living unity with the eternal God, leaving us as the only possible explanations either insanity, blasphemy or deity.” The eternal Son claims His own. The atmosphere of Heaven in In the Lord's prayer for the unity of His disciples, their pres- ervation and their consecration. He recognized their approaching danger and the necessity of their being kept by Divine power if His*work was to |be carrled on by His disciples. | In making His plea for them our d describes them as men, given | Him by the Father “out of the world; tney had Kept God's word: the words which God had given Christ they had received; they knew that Christ had come forth from God, and they be- {lleved that God had sent Him.” He |prayed for them now, as He faced {death, just as many of us have heard the praver of those about to slip away {from us plead for us. Only one could keep them during the dark and trying days that they faced, so He pleaded with the Father to keep them. They would not be fitted for His serv- jce unless they were sanctified, so | that they would be kept distinct from | the world. He sought for them the | Sunday School Lesson same help frem above as He had ex- perienced in His battles with the world. The life of a Christian should be a reproduction of Christ's life in the flesh, untainted by iniquity and free from its gloom, discouragement and sin. His prayer was not that His disci- ples should be free from the tempta- tions and tr'als of life. He sought that they might be disciplined and de- veloped hy mastering life's problems. Apart from His personal presence the Master sought that they should be consecrated and- developed through the words of the gospel that He had preached and taught. He longed that they ould carry on His work. Christ's intensity of service was to be their standard, as it ought to be our ideal of service. He died to save men and we ought to be willing to lay down our lives for the salvation of our fellow men. It Is our mission to glority God in a manner similar to the way Jesus glorified the Father. Praying for His Church. The last section of Christ's inter- cessory prayer covered a large com- pany—those who should believe in Christ through the disciples’ word. Christ prayed for church unity, not unfon, It {s more powerful than unfon. He sought for a spiritual unity similar to that which existed between Jesus and the Father. Knowledge of the Lord requires that we should be obedient to our Lord. Love Him and all who love Christ, 50 that our life and labor will be a living demonstration of His life, light and love. He longed to pass on to them the glory that He had recelved from the Father. If we all prove our love by a life of obedience to Christ and love for others, men will be won for Christ and His church. His closing petition is a revelation of His love for our fellowship in the life beyond the grave. He expressed the longing that His disciples should be with Him in heaven and there be- hold His glory. The indwelling of Christ in us here reveals His glory to men and gives us a sample of our future glory. If we love Him and follow Him, we will not only see the glory of our Lord in this world, but also in the world to come, when through the experiences of death we shall come to enjoy Christ's glory with the redeemed in the Father's home in heaven. If we understood the glory that awalits us in the future life beyond the grave we would be mgved to gnanifest the spirit of Christ in our relation with ome another and we would girdle the globe with inter- cessory pravers that would hasten His coming. It is through His indwell- ing presence with us that we are being kept today from sin, “sancti- fled. in service, given unity of life, made ready for glory” and enabled to conquer in all the battles against the forces of Satan and the world. - Woman Will Lecture.
