It is supported by voluntary contributions anil like other Institutions of like character it is sometimes hard pressed to make ends meet.

PRESS ACCEPTS STATEMENT BY LLOYD GEORGE

Regard It as Complete Refutation of Charges Made by Maurice. CBy Associated Prss LONDON, May 10. The action ol house of commons in turning the As luith motion down by a large major ity generally accords with the views

Wvarious newspapers expressed prev

ious to the premier's statement in th , house.' The staunch supporters of Pre mler JLloyd George .accept his state ment without question and regard il as a complete refutation of the chargei made by Major General Maurice. Those papers which urged an inquirt treat the speech as having a restricted value and as being an ex parte state ment, though they admit it was a gool effort. - . Among- the former papers is tbt Daily Mail, which says that not a raj of General Maurice's pretentious indictment is left and asks who will again ever pay the least attention tt anything he - says. It declares thai former Premier Asquith was outgeneralled and outfought. Answer Was Complete. The premier's answer, says th Daily Telegraph was. complete an3 overwhelming and showed that Gen eral Maurice had not a shadow oi justification for any of his charges.' . The Daily Chronicle, voicing the second view, says the issues were lefl in the same mischievous obscurity as before the premier spoke, because o the uncertainty in the mind of the public. It declares the premier's statement does not remove the serious disquiet from the mind of the army. The Daily News refers to the. premier's withdrawal of the plan of a judicial inquiry as political jugglery and says he burked the Inquiry inltf charges affecting British honor and the honor of parliament. The Daily News adds: "Major General Maurice's charges remain unaffected by this melodrama and the public is left to laugh or weep, according to its humor, at the latest achievement of political wizardry." Premier Lloyd George, says the Morning Post, sought to substantiate one series of one sided and unsupported statements by another series. "Because the house of common chose to be satisfied with Mr. Lloyd George's statement" it adds, "it does not follow that the people outside the house will be equally pliable. In this matter, as in others, the commons lias ceased to represent the nation. The government survived another emergency, but under existing conditions it must recur and each succeeding crisis leaves it weaker and more discredited."

MARY PICKFORD AND THE PEOPLE WHO "SHOOT" HER PICTURES, TOGETHER WITH SCENES FROM PARAMOUNT AND ARTCRAFT. PICTURES.

Directors, cameramen, location seek rs and a host of others who are never seen on the screen but are responsible for the great advancement in motion pictures in t je past five years are "the men behind the guns." The principals sre the director and the who "shoot" the scenes and the , stills, not

to mention the young ladies who keep the records. . In the case of Mary Pi'ckford it is conceded on every hand that she has been "shot" in pictures more thou sands of times than any other star. From the very beginning she played i Ll picture? in which there are hun

dreds of scenes raTren before the director announces that he hus enough to complete the story in accordance with the script. Marshall Neilan, who has been directing Mary's latest Artcraft pictures, has had wonderful success In bringing out her best latent aualities. In "Stella Maris," her latest Artcraft picture, this

was particularly significant. Waltrt. Stradling grinds the. motion picture machine that records her actions, whil W. S. Finn stands on the side lines and "shoots" the stills with hi, big graflex. Miss Luctia Squier keeps the records of all the thousands f scenes that are taken., from .which ih final assembling is done.

IS HELD AFTER FILING OF SUIT

Chailes A. Stern, a representative of the Richmond Herb company, was arrested Fiiday on affidavits charging him with the practice of medicine without a licence. Stern was arrested on March 27 on a similar charge and the case against him. came up in city court before Mayor Zimmerman. The case was dismissed, however, in order that suit might be tiled against Stern in the circuit court. Since that time the matter has been hanging fire. Stern's arrest. Friday followed the filing of a suit by him in circuit court in which he asked $10,000 damages because of his previous arrest. He alleged that there had been a conspiracy on the part of Prosecutor Strayer and Drs. W. Grant Hoffman, George B. Hunt, Edgar S. Bond and William Krueger, who are named defendants. "The filing of so ridiculous a case is purely a weak effort, on the part of this man Stern to discredit us," Prosecuting Attorney Strayer said. "He has no basis whatever for his claim and we regard it as something of a joke. If he thinks that he can bluff me this easily into dropping the case I have against him for practicing medicine without a license, he is badly mistaken. I am all the more determined now that he shall be prosecuted to the full extent of the law." Strayer said that he had sworn affidavits to prove that. Stern who has

built up somewhat of a clientage for the sale of so-called patent medicines and salves that are supposed to soothe almost any kind of an ache or pain, has really been practicing medicine. The name of the plaintiff appears as his own attorney in the suit. Tni3 is though by the defendants and attorneys in the city, to Indicate - that

Stern was unable to get any Richmond attorney to handle the case for bim and appear in his favor. ' WAR Chi EST DAYS FIXED . SHELBYVlLLE.
