Now the business men have established a court of arbitra- tion In Chicago and its advocates are urging business men to settle their differences by arbitration. Avoldance of publicity, and the possibility of having their matters de- cided by those familiar with the con- testant’s line of business, are urged as great points ‘In favor of such Counsel may be a court of arbitration. used or not, according to the taste | of the litigants. And no legal rights are surrendered by an appeal to this jurisdiction Legal be submitted to some if found necessary. It all sounds well. It is rather dif- cult to see, however, how the associa- tion can get a court which will be tamillar with all lines of business. It is hard to see how it will be able to this court who business men's questions may court eof law get men to serve on will recognize, as judges of courts of law their Ignorance on certain points, and who will be will- ing to be enlightened on certain facts as Judges in courts of law are always recognize, to do have attempts to with of and arrangements=tending that But men's angious There been many do away courts law, many in direction as long | as opinions differ, higher and as long as there tribunal to which party may Appeal be taken, and the unrelieved of the with a remains a the defeated appeal such will courts will responsibility remain of settling and particular wisdom rarely ap- the disputes of nfen ot law gen- eral preciated IF TRUE.” Committee of Forty- that parties “IMPORTANT, the W both at are to run Sen President, Some of who was but elght, so much wrong with balked great the Farmer-Labor Rob- who combination, tor ert M.

This note it is understood here, will point out the purely temporary character of the occupation by Japanese troops of points in the Saghalien district. Possible misunderstandings ah.road are apprehended here because of the that the city of Nikolaievsk on the Siberian mainland coast will be under control of Japanese military detachments. Nikolaievsk was former- 1y part of the administrative district of Primorskaia, which was in turn un- der the jurisdiction of the =Russian maritime province. In 1914 however, the governor of th maritime province is no and fact ! decreed with imperial assent that Nik- olaievsk should be attached to the dis- triet of Saghalien which was pre. viously restricted to Saghatien Island. Since the district is go be placed un- der Jepanese control the city will be occupied by troops sent by this coun- try. but it is probable their withdraw- al to the island may be necessitated by the intense cold that prevails along the Siberian coast for most of the year.

Chicago, Aug. 3.—Wiliam Bross Llovd, millionaire socialist, and 19 other members of the communist labor party last night were found guilty by a jury of a conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States. s The defendants were given vari- ous sentences, most of them getting from one to five years in the peni- tentiary, a few being given fines in addition and several were sentenced to one year in jail. Lloyd got the sentence, being- given one | to five vears in the penitentiary and a fine of $3,000 in addition. With 20 other members of the com- raunist labor party under sentence for conspiring to advocate the over- | throw of the government by force, the state attorney today prepared to clear the docket of radical cases at the Fall term of court. Eighty-six communists, thirty-sev- en I. W.

MOVIE MEN WORK IN NEARBY TOWN Farmington Scene of New Motion Picture Scenario Farmington, beauty village of New England, infected with ‘“‘moveitis” this week. David Wark Griffith and a company of stars, including Lillian Gish, having descended wupon that peaceful village yesterday and started “shooting” scenes about the town. Most of the natives have declared a holiday for the occasion and there is an interested queu of people con- tinually on the trail of the camera man to watch his grinding and to lis- ten to the directions of the well- known- Griffith as he sets his troupe through their paces. ‘It has been re- ported that a burlesque of “Uncle Tom's Cabin” is to be photographed in the nearby village, but one of the persons connected th the cast an- nced t) her is chosen and that it is quite probable that Griffith will rot decide for some time what the picture will work into. The origin of the story on the fam- ous play of Southern slavery was probably derived from the fact that a river scene is in the scenario. It epicts a crossing of the ice, similar to Eliza’s jescapade. This scene was taken today. Artificlal ice was float- ed in the Farmington and the cam= cra men filmed from mid-streatn, be= ing careful not to obtain the banks er any foliage to give away the season of the yvear. Many rehearsals were run of the young lady crossing the floes of ice. Yesterday the camera men filmed Old Red Mill on the banks of the stream and took several pic- tures of the Indian camp ground, back of the Winchell Smith new home. Mr. Griffith and some of the cast are the guests of Mr. Smith while others of the personnel stay in various places about town. Lillian Gish, Richard Bartholomew and others are with the stars, while there is a group of about 20 assistants, including camera men and so forth. There are several more scenes to be taken in. Farmington and it is probable that the group will remain the rest of fhis week. “Cox soei to the W Better see it now,
