Paul Henkel, manager of Keen's Chop house, and one of the leading members of the society, was host to the gathering. He was one of the first to approve the launching of a new political party to aid in winning back wine and beer privileges, as was also August Janssen, president of the | soclety, and owner the Hofbrau Haus, Broadway and Thirtieth street “Prohibition,’ "Mr. Smith said in his address, “was put over by a body of unprincipled fanatics supplied with ample funds.” He said that prohibi- tion was hrought about “by a minor- | ity through superb and efficient or- ganization." “Today it is up to us, representing the majority of our citizens,” he con- tinued, *“to regain the liberties we have lost; but in order to do this we | must secure an organization as effi- cient and as well officered as that of the Anti-Saloon league-—an organiza- [tion that will be able to ‘fight the | devil with fire' and beat him at his own game." “The republican party generally speaking is dry in the north, and in the north the Anti-Saloon league dom- inates it. The democratic party is dry in the south and in the south the An ti-Saloon league owns it “The whites of the south, no mat- ter how bitterly they may oppose pro- hibition, will never vote the republi- can ticket, nor any ticket emanating from that party; but there is no rea- son why they should not flock to an independent Liberty party — a party composed of former republicans and democrats in practically equal num- bers."” Pending the formation of the Lib- erty party and getting it in active po- litical existence, Mr. Smith declared that “we must not'overiook the im- portance of defeating every dry can- didate, no matter what office he may be running for and no matter what ticket he is on.” He closed by urging support of Dr. John P. Gavin, whoisto be an inde- pendent candidate for congress in the seventeenth congressional district against Ogden L.

Shadow Shows of Time of Confucius Earliest Idea of Moving Pictures. London, Sept. 27.—The earliest idea of a moving picture was recorded in the Chinese philosopher who lived 500 years be- fore Christ. At least this is the de- | duction drawn from his studies into | the question by Will Day, a well known figure in the English film world, who has exhibited in London | a collection of relics and machines | tracing the growth of the moving pic- ture from the first primitive to its present form. The '"'shadow shows” of the time of Confucius are the first of all known endeavors to present animated pic- tures. From this early time, however, there was a long period of inactivity in development, for the next record of progressive achievement is found in 1646, when Athanasius Kircher published a book in Latin entitled “Ars Magnalycus et Umbrae” in which a description and illustration is given of a moving picture which the writer had evolved with mirrors and |a tallow candle for illuminant. Included in the collection is the or- iginal disc which Eadweard Muy- bridge used to settle the controversy between two American milionaires on the Alo Palta race course as towheth- er the four feet of a trotting horse were off the ground at the same time. The experiment which Muybridge carried out is sald to have cost the University of Pennsylvanla 40,000 pounds, but the fact was proved that a horse did actually lift all four feet tome of Confucius, the Ancient Masters of Painting Labored For Very Small Pay.
