When, however, offensiye incidents in the life of a screen have been so widely published that an unsavory odor has been attached in the public mind to the actor's very personality then such Incidents become an ele- ment in the moral influence of a film ‘and can be no longer overlooked. “The wave of public sentiment has greeted the suggestion that Ros- coe Arbuckle be allowed to resume his oceupation as a motion picture actor is evidence that this is a case in point. ! The national committee for better films therefore will not recom- mend or place on its selected lists 18- sued to committees, exhibitors and others for entertainment purposes any films with which Mr. Arbuckle 1is publicly identified. “Although it has in the past listed many of this actor's fllms as being amusing and free from objectionable features any films which have been so listed but which have not as yet been publicly exhibited will be removed from our lists.

New York State Albany, Jan, 12.—About $6,457,714 was cut from the requested appropria- tlons of state departments, tions and bureaus by the Miller board of estimate and control, and numerous reductions were made in salaries of state employes, it was revealed when | the tentative budget for the next fiscal year was filed as a legisiative docu- ment. Had Governor Miller been re- clected, every recommendation made by the board whdoubtedly would have been put into effect, but with the change of administration and Gover- nor Smith in the driver's seat, it is not expected many of the board’s recommendations, especially ing suts in salaries, will recelve much consideration. The board recommended the aboll- tion of a second deputy, a certificate and election clerk in the secretary of state's office. The post of second deputy was held under the adminis- |tration of former Secretary Lyons by Charles W. Taft of Onelda. Soon af- |ter Dr. James A. Hamilton, the new secretary of state, assumed office’ he appointed Herman Doctor of the Bronx as second deputy. The office {of election clerk has been held for twenty years by Henry G, Adams, a | republican. Many of the men who would have lost their jobs under the plan of the board of estimates and control are re- publicans. Some, however, will lose thelr positions through the change in administration. “It is not so bad to lose your job through a change in administration, Lut one does not like to be legislated out of office by your own party, par- ticularly if you have served that par- ty and the state to the best of your ability,” declared one republican who would have lost his position had for- mer Governor Miller been re-elected. The board also recommended the elimination of the excise bureau from the office of the attorney general. Four posts would have: been affected by this change—a deputy attorney general, an accountant and special ex- aminer, a stenographer and a docket clerk. The board requested & reduction of $1,500 in the salary of Willlam V. Irving of Albany, present miscellan- eous reporter. This would have made the salary of this office $4,5600. An- other salary reduction recommended was $1,000 for the secretary of state civil service commission. This post was held by John C. Birdseye, who recently: resigned. Recommendation also was made that one deputy state controller be dropped. The total of appropriat lons recom- | mended by the board for the various|in large slate agencies was $110,964,205. De- partment heads had asked for appro- priations of $117,432,000. HERRIN CASE CONTINUED. Attempt Made Today To TImpeach Testimony of Previous Witness.

COAL PRICES DOUBLED Are Now Twice What They During Year of 1914, New York, Jan. 12.—The cost of fuel in the latter part of last year showed a greater increase over 1014 levels than any other item in the wage carner's budget, according to a com- parative analysis by the national in- dustrial conference board. The aver- age cost for November, 1922, was 7.8 per cent above the peak of July, 1920. The board's report says: s’ “Since 1914, in the majority of cit- ies, the advance in coal prices was considerably more than 100 per cent. i This was especially true of the east- ern section, where only six cities re- ported increases of less than 100 per cent. These were Albany, Bnuffalo, Fall River, Newark, New York, Pitts- burgh and Rochester. | Were LIQUEFIES HELIUM CANADIAY Process Once Costing $1,500 a Foot Now Costs 10 Cents, Toronto, Jan. 12.—Liquefaction of | helium gas has been accomplished in the laboratory of Toronto University by Professor John Cunningham Mec- Lennon. The feat, it is declared, has | never been performed before outside of Holland. This achievement is an- other step toward the solution of many problems connected with refrig- eration. Experiments were begun two years ago, after Professor McLennon dis- covered that helium could be obtained quantities from the natural gases in Canada. Helinm was liquefied in smail quan- (ities for the first time in 1908 by Professor Kammerlingh Onnes of Hol-| land, but at that time little heltum | wag avallable, and it was exceedingly oxpensive, costing at the rate of about : $1,500 per cubic foot. The Cana- dlan experiments show it can be pro- duced at less than 10 cents per cul)iri foot.
