dent Wilson does not meet in Washington until October 6." said Mr. Foster. "It may be a week or a month. At best we could not have a final decision within five or six weeks. If this decision did not meet with the approval of the steel workers the committee would have tc meet again. And that would carry the strike into the winter. There could be no other way."

NAZIMOVA IS MODEST STAR.

T'espite the fact that she has been hailed as perhaps the greatest actress on the American stage tmTay, Nazimoa now appearing in "The Hi at" presented by Iliihard A. Rowland and Maxwell Kaiger, i still as modest as the day when ."he had her flint triumph in New York. At that tif.ie her artistry and sheer emotional power," coup

led with her exotic beauty, compelled

mova protested: I "1 am not great. I am not well

known, even In Russia. I have played in St. Petersburg only one season. In Moscow and in some of the smaller towns they like me a little, I think." Much of this has now become untrue. Her widespread popularity and

reputation contradict her earlier state- . ments. but the great artist Is none the I less unaffected after her success. At i the DeLuxe theatre for one week, be- ' pinning Sunday.

SUITS ON NOTES. Two suits on promissory notes were fled in the Hammond Superior court today by Attorney J. W. Belshaw, for clients at Lowell. Peter Miller vs. Anthony Texter et al., is the title of one suit and the other Is The State National Bank vs William Buckley.
