London, Jan. 10 (By the associated Press)—A sovietized ‘“Hamlet” re- vised apd adapted “in accordance with the modern spirit of the times” is re- hearing in a Moscow theater news- papers of that city announce. The place is inspired by the sommissariat | of education, which ordered the state institute of theatrical art to produce it. Shapespeare’s hero in the bolshevik | version of the drama is not a Danish | prince but a prominent communist! leader fighting against the bourgeoisie and capitalism. All of Hamlet's fam- ous soliloquis and speeches have been rewritten and put into revolutionary rhetoric and a popularized interpre- tation of the gospel of communism. The actor who will play the part of “Polonius” will be made up to re- semble Mr. Lloyd George and will quote excerpts from speeches made by the former premier, SENATOR HALE GIVES COAL | Answers Plea of a Poor Constituent— | Offers Shelter to Others | Washington, Jan. 10. — Senator Frederick Hale of Maine received a letter from Howard Lauriston of | Westbrook, Me., a suburb of Portland, | in which Lauriston bemoaned the fact that “he had not a lump of coal,” that his wife and four children were suffering, and that with coal at $22 a ton he was unable to do anything to| help them. | On recelpt of the letter Senator Hale wired Lauriston to get a wagon and go to the old Hale mansion in Portland and “help himself” out of the family bin. The senator then directed his sec- retary, R. E. Marshall, to wire the caretaker of® his Portland home to help any of the poor that might be in need of fuel and at the same time to keep the mansion warm for the accommodation of any sufferer who might seek shelter from the cold. The senator, who is a bachelor, oc- cupies the Portland home only in the summer. He and his mother, the widow of the late Senator Eugens Hale, make their winter home in Washington ONLY by means of a thorough esamination can the exact con- dition and needs of the eyes be determined.

A coroner's| jury composed of some of the leading men of Wenonah, most of them friends and acquaintances of the Ter- | rells, late vesterday afternoon, at an fnquest held over the boy's body at the Town hall, brought in this ver- dict: | “We find that Arthur Hill Terrell| came to his death by lobar pneu- monia, contributed to by neglect upon part of his parents to furnish med- ical aid and attention.” Upon complaint made through the office of Acting Prosecutor Joseph Lannigan, the father was summoned | before Magistrate Goffray at Wood- bury earlier in the day, and was held under $1,500 bail on a charge of manslaughter. This action, support- ed by the verdict of the coroner's| jury, means. that the Gloucester County Grand Jury will be called upon to make a thorough investiga- tion of the case. “The child died of neglect,” was the curt statement made by Henry C. Clark, county\physician, to the jury called together for the inquest yesterday afternoon by Coroner Wil-| liam P. Chalfant Dr. Clark performed an autopsy upon the boy's body. He explained to the jury that he found one lung, entirely congested and evilence upon the body that the boy had suffered from an intensely high fever.

Paul, Ming, Jan. 18.—Plans te establish a large plant in Bt. Paul for manufacture of automobiles and trae- tors were announced here by repres sentatives of the Ford Metor com- pany The Ford company eompleted yes- terday the purchase of 1674 acres of land on the Mississippi river, imme- diately adjacent to the government high dam, at a cost of §315,000, as the site forsthe plant. Application has been made to the federal government for the power rights at the dam, but it this is denied the company will erect a plant to be operated entirely by steam, the announcement said, If the water-power rights granted, it is planned to bulld a 000,000 manufacturing plant, 18 mately to employ between 14,000 and 15,000 men, according to Ford agents here, It will be on a somewhat small- er seale if the pow rights are de nied, Preliminary work will be start. ed in Mareh, To provide proper rallroad facilities for the plant, the Chicago, Milwaukee & Bt Paul Rallway announced that it would extend its trackage and con- struct a bridge across the Mississipp! river, the entire expansion to involve an expenditure of approximately $3.- 000,000, St. Paul city officlals, it is sald, will offer to share with Minneapolis the expense of a bridge across the river at the high dam, thus making the proposed Ford plant readily accessible to both cities, Establishment of a manufacturing plant here is in line with the Ford company’s announced plan for decen- tralization. It has already announced its intention to bulld a manufacturing plant in Chicago. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 10.—Establish- ment of a unit of the Ford Motor company at St Paul, Minn, will be “just another step” in the expansion program that Henry Ford has under- taken, it was said here yesterday by persons in close touch with the auto- mobile manufacturer. Believing that his program to date has resulted in the near exhaustlon, for a time at least, of the industrial “strategic centers” of the eastern part of the country, Mr. Ford has de- cided to give the more western states greater representation in his manu- facturing enterprises. The St. Paul industrial unit is only one of several that Mr. Ford hopes to bring into being in Middle Western and west- ern states within the next few years. Announcement may be expected soon, it became known, of Mr. Ford's intention to erect a plant in St. Louis similar to that he will estab- lish in St. Paul. City officials of St. Louis now are taking necessary steps to provide a site. The nature of the proposed St Louis undertaking has not been re- vealed by Mr Ford, but it is assumed assembling and manufacturing plant, as the St. Paul project will be placed in that class. The Ford expansion program is in line with the manufacturer's theory that “prosperity if every able-bodied man s given a good job." By creating large numbers of new jobs Mr. Ford believes he can bring that *‘prosperity can be forced on any community if = every able-bodied country. He hopes to extend his operations, it has become known, to a point where every part of the United States will have ‘‘good busi- ness all the time.” NAME PROF. J. L.
