The first chapter of it will be shown on the same program upon which the last episode of “The Tiger's Trail” will appear. The fact that this new serial made by the Pathe company is ce tainly a good guarantee of its excel- lence, for that company can claim to have made the best and most enter taining serial pictures that have ever been produced, including ‘“Patr “The Perils of Pauline,” “The Ix ploits of Elaine,” “Pearl of the Army,” “The Seven Peerls,” “Hands Up,” “The Lightning Raider” and ““I'he Tiger's Trail.” And consideraile significance is attached to a confiden- tial statement made recently by prominent Pathe official to the effect that never since the company was or- ganized has so much time, moifey and effort been expended on any serial as upon this last production, “The Great Gamble.” The stars of the is picture are Anne Luther and Charles Hutchinson. Tho latter is claimed to have established a new record for hair-raising stunt and death-defying thrills in “The Great Gamble.” He was seriously injured veral times during the making of the picture and twice the extent of his injuries was so great that his life was despaired of by a famous California physician and all work on the picture had to be sus- pended for six weeks: The first chapter, which reels, will be seen next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and a different | episode will be shown every week for [ the next 15 weeks. is in three !

In this treaty the latter guarantees and maintains the independence Panama “As the objections in the senate to the League of Nations are mainly by republican senators and as the repub- lican party was mainly responsible for the approval of the treaty with Pan- ama, there is felt in my country a certain anxiety in regard to the atti- tude of those republican senators of today because of the influence they may exercise in determining whether or not the first article of the Panama treaty, which is analogous to Art cle X. of the league covenant, ; binding on the United States, in view of the constitutional questions raised in the senate. “In view of the debate in the Amer- ican senate about the league cove- nant, and especially about Article X, which binds the high contracting par- ties to respect and preserve the ier- ritorial integrity and the present po- litical existence of all nations consti- tuting the league, Panama wishes to know if the senators opposing the covenant hold beliefs that justify fears entertained by the Panam regarding the ultimate fate of the United States’ obligation to maintain our independence.” Presi- a of CITY COMMISSION AGAINST GARAGE Believe That Tenement House in Rear of City Hall Is Too Valuable to Be Used As age.

MORRIS DEFENDS PACKING TRADE Says Trade Commission’s Report | Is Not Fair One Chicaga, Aug. 9 rd Morris, president of Morris & Co., said today: With the country in arms over the continued high cost of living and with anti-packer legislation pending before congress, the federal trade commission has seized this mament to issue an- other attack on the packers. This statement, simply a rehash of the one- sided investigation made two yea ago, has a double object: to inflame the public and prejudice congress against the packers. I assume I am guilty of * majeste” in saving a word to the pub- lic in defense af our business, judging from recent utterances in the senate. To denounce the packers is patriotic statesman ship; to defend them is “propaganda.” However, I will risk’it and say that the present agitation against this industry is 99 per cent premeditated, cold blooded, cunning propaganda engineered by men of so- cialistic tendencles, who are seeking to bolster up unjust and iniquitous conclusions, reached by them, and to fasten socialistic control on the busi- ness of this country generally. Why experiment along these lines with the recent expensive object lesson of gov- ernmental operation of railroads and telegraph and telephone lines? If this is not enough the public is certainly a glutton for punishment. The people should know that there between certain persons, with selfish interests to serve, and with others in sympathy with pater- nalism and communism. These busi- ness wreckers figure that the packers, on account of their dealing with a prime necessity, are the most inviting subject, and the present, on account of the high cost of living, is the most op- portune time to foster the poiicy of government ownership on the peofle. If the pending packer legislation be- comes the law it is only a question of time until all business will be con- trolled, not by general laws. but by men and bureaus, inexperienced in business in Washington. I wonder when the federal trade commission will issue a report con- taining the testimony of the *‘small packer victims' of the “Big Ilive” over whom it shed so many crocodile tears, Such a report would show that before congressional committees, last winter these “oppressed competitors” pleaded to be saved from the salvation pre- seribed for them by the commission. They testified as to the fairness of the competition they met in the stock vards and in the markets in which they sold their finished products and were a unit in declaring that the legi Jative panacea proposed would not only ruin them, but would accomplish nothing for the people. The small packer, paddling his own canoc, and doing it successfully, knew then and knows now, that these social- istic nostrums will not cure the pa- tient, which the public, suffering from the high cost of living. We are in no combination to raise or extort prices: we work so efficiently and eco- nomically tt we can exist on a profit of a small fraction of one cent per pound. [Eliminate this and the cost to the consumer would not be ap- preciably affected. We are as much interested in a solution of th vital problem as any one and will welcome and aid the fullest investigation by a disinterested, competent non-political body into this all important matter.

Mansfield o., Tokio, The Ass M June 1 ociated Rev of Presbyterian Mowry an American missionary, had no lawyer to represent him in the of connvicted court Pyeng Yang when he was’ sentenced to for the and six months penal servitude shelter- ing Korean agitators The trial to in indepen- dence movement was held after one day’'s notice the ac cused and neither he nor his friends tak- were notified who were in court watching, but ing no part in the case until after the trial that they could have asked for and obtained a post- ponement These Samuel of the American sionary at Pyeng Mr. Moffett has called them to the attention of the Japanese authori- ties at Pyeng Yang and forwarded a statement of the facts the Ameri- can consul at Seoul. The Rev. Mr. Moffett attended hearing in the case of the Rev Mowry before the district court and made a detailed report of the pro- ceedings in which he stated that he cailed upon Mr. Mowry, then under arrest, on April 10. A detective in-' formed Mr. Moffett that Mr. Mowry probably would be sent to Seoul, but on April 14, both Mr. Mowry and Mr. Moffett were notified that Mr. Mowry would be put on trial the next morning. The Rev. Mr. Moffett's transerip- tion of the evidence shows that the Rev. Mr. Mowry told the court that he was a teacher of the Union Chris tian College and principal of both the Bovs' and Girls' Grammar school at Pyeng Yang and that he had taught there since 1911. He said that he had admitted to his house five Korean students for two days in March after the beginning of the independence movement. One of these had been his secretary for six vears and waa s0 engaged until he was arrested by the Japanese. The missionary had given him money for school expenses for five Years. The others were pupils he had taught. The Rev. Mr. Mowry told the court that he had heard that the Christians and students had held an independence meeting at the Boys’ Grammar school, that he had noth- ing whatever to do with it but heard they had read a declaration of in- dependence, raised the Korean flag and marched down the streets shout- ing “mansei” (long live Korea). The missionary declared that he had heard that the police were going to arrest the students but that when the boys came to his home they did not tell him why they wanted to stay there, did not say they were in hiding from the Japanese and that he told them that he could not protect them if they were doing anything they should not do. “Would you not think that in com- ing to the house of a Westerner there was something up?” asked the judge through an interpreter. “Koreans often slept at my house and T could only guess at it in view of the times,” replied the Rev. Mr. Mowry. “Did you know that they secretly distributed announcements and that the police were hunting for them?" asked the judge. “I knew the police were trying to arrest such men id Mr. Mowry, “but ¥ did not know these boys had done it. I guessed that the police were hunting for them. They sald nothing to me about fleeing from the police. 1 did not hide them as fugi- tives. I made no effort to conceal them and I told them I could not do s0. facts A Rev. charge are stated Moffett by the who has Preshyterian Yang. The Rey mis- to the Mr, “If I had been informed that the police were trying to arrest them and had concealed them it would have been wrong; but T did not know that they were criminals. If anyone had come to arrest them and T had con- cealed them it would have been wrong. Concerning the independence, movement, I had nothing whatever to do with it and kept free from it and, as an American, told them that I could have nothing to do with it and could zive no advice,” The procurator in sentence of six months and addres demanding a imprisonment sing Mr. Mowry before the court said, “On one side your taking employes and students who had no place to flee to was in a sense a man- ifestation of human kindness.” The wicker basket was then put on Rev. Mr. Mowry's head and face and he was led off by a policeman. The Rev. Mr. Moffet visited the office of another procurator who admitted to him that Mr. Mowry was not notified of his trial until the day before it was held and that he w not asked whether he wanted a lawyer. Mr. Moffett complained that the trial was brought off so suddenly that Mr. Mowry's friends had no chance to en- gage a lawyer. The procurator told him they could have obtained a postponement and Mr. Moffett replied that ‘“we were given no such information,” and that he had no opportunity to confer with Mr. Mowry about engaging a lawyer and that in the interview he had held with Mr. Mowry in jail he was strict- ly forbidden to talk with the prisoner about his case. The procurator told Mr they had a right to appeal but the friend of the convict missionary pointed out that if the appeal weare not successful, the Rev. Mr. Mowry would have suffered by reason of the fact that he did not have a lawyer on his first trial. . Moffet that
