Gary, directing head of the United Steel Corporation, tonight set forth an audience in Town Hall his views on the virtues and vices of charity. No one, he said, should be generous until after he has been just. Charity is desirable only if it does not interfere with fulfilment of existing obligation of the donor. Real generous charity, Mr. Gary said, is "fashionable and it is Christian" but the donor is not entitled to it if his gifts come from "obtained illegal, unconscionable or money, unfair means." It is appropriate however, he added, that such ill-gotten gain be given as an assuagement of conscience to those who have unjustly suffered.

He asserted that millions which have been devoted to the cause of humanity would not have been devoted to such a cause had not large been concentrated in the fortunes, individuals. Asserting that state and municipal taxes in many localities are "burdensome the point of serious business Mr. Gary declared the most worthy charity and act of thanksgiving for "plenty and prosperity" in this country would be one that would reduce the high cost of living. He expressed his approval of measures of national tax revision, asserted that consideration of the soldiers bonus should be deferred and declar-.

30-But for In inclement weather the sales would have been larger this week, but even at this they were larger than the week before. Tobacco was not quite as good, but the prices held up. The farmers are picking out all the slightly damaged and mouldy tobacco now, and selling it: but tobacco, even with a little mould on the tips, brings fair prices, as the crop is so good, and tobacco is very sweet. Primings are very high, and very few are on sale. Good bodied fillers and cutting tobacco are very reasonable.

The crop is showing A large per cent. leaf and serviceable wrapper and we say again to the manufacturers, "Come on in! the breaks are fine!" Total sales for week, 72,395 pounds at $10.70 average.

PHONE 327 Asks Probe AntiSaloon Body (By Chicago Tribune Service) WASHINGTON, Nov. of the activities of the AntiSaloon League, especially in New York and Missouri, by a Congressional committee of seven members to be appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives, is provided for in a resolution to be introduced by Representative George Holden Tinkham, Republican, Massachusetts. In a statement issued today Repregentative Tinkham asserted that "vast sums of money have been used influence public opinion in various ways, now entirely unsuspected by the people, directly to control electiong and 'to pay professional organizers and lobbyists' that the Anti-Saloon League and some of its state departments and subsidiaries have 'openly and flagrantly violated the national campaign contributions law and the corrupt practices laws of several and certain of the state'; that the league campaign expenses of Representative Andrew J. Volstead chairman of the judiciary committee 'having foreknowledge that the representatives of said league would appear before him for legislation and subsequently did appear before him and obtained the legislation it desired' and that by these practices the league 'successfully added to the constitution of the United States the Eighteenth amendment and has caused to be enacted the national prohibition law, otherwise known as the Volstead Mr. Tinkham also charges the league with attempting to influence judicial appointments and decisions with attepting to influence the president of the United States in his appointments of heads of departments.

He charges that insidious it has influence actu- ally exercised its successfully upon a bureau of an executive (a bureau whose unparalleled corruption and lawlessness is without example) to the extent that even appointments of persons in the service of such bureau are made with the sanction and approval of the AntiSaloon League of America. Even the name adopted by the league is denounced by Mr. Tinkham as "fraudulent and completely misleading as to its intentions and purposes which were to establish complete prohibition and not alone to abolish saloons." "The investigating committee can well begin its duties by summoning several banks and trust companies, all of the data concerning deposits made by the Anti-Saloon League of America and its state departments and subsidiaries since 1912 and the bank every paid official of this organization," said Mr. Tinkham. the books of account of the various organizations should be subpoenaed; a demand should made for the names and duties of every employe of both national and state organizations, the amount of salary paid each and their duties.

"Both the national and the state organizations should be compelled to disclose the amounts of money, if any, paid for any purpose to a candidate for elective office or any elected official either during his term of office or immediately subsequent to it. "A mended record for of federal all persons recomappointments should be demanded of the national and state organizations. "The eLague and Wayne B. Wheeler, its highly paid professional lobbyist at Washington, have stated many times that they control a majority of the House of Representatives of the present Congress. That such control existed over previous congresses, no man can deny." KILLS SON, SIX MEN AND THEN ENDS OWN LIFE (By Chicago Tribune Service) BELGRADE, Nov.

strangling his five-year-old natural son and shooting dead an entire orchestra of six men and one woman Lieut. Michel Stefanovitch Prinhatchenko, former pistol champion of the Imperial Russian Army, committed suicide by shooting himself. The gory drama, which occurred in Novisad, a village near Belgrade, was the end of a love triangle involving Lieut. Prihatchenko, his mistress, Maria Zahnova and the handsome leader of the orchestra. Lieut.

Prihatchenko. with his sweetheart Maria escaped from Russia and established a home in Novisada. The former lieutenant earned a living by playing in a native Russian orchestra. Maria deserted Lieut. Prihatchenko and went to live with orchestra leader who fired her former sweetheart.

On November 24 the lieutenant strangled the baby boy born to Marla because he suspected his parentage. On the same night he went to the restaurant where the orchestra was playing. He ordered a bottle of wine and asked his former rades to play the saddest Russian tune "Volga, Volga, Dear Mother." The musicians refused and joked about the lieutenant's domestic affairs. Lieut. Prihatchenko calmly drew two revolvers and skillfully blazed away at the orchestra, killing his rival and all the other musicians, including the women.

While his seven victims were rolling in their death struggles, the lieutenant shot himself the heart and fell in the midst of the huddled dead on the floor. PRICES ARE GOOD. SOUTH HILL, Nov.

As in former seasons tobacco market will be closed for the Thanksgiving holidays- Thursday and Friday November 29th and 30th. Barrymore and Skinner Back on Stage By JAMES W. DEAN NEW YORK. Dec.

John Barrymore and Itis Skinners return to Broadway this week. This should command the attention of the younger generation of American actors, for in this present gencration there is no youngster who looms as another Barrymore or Skinner. Perhaps the next generation will have 110 great men of the stage, at least in America. If there is to be a dearth of male players perhaps the fault can be fairly laid to the movies. Eventually these young fellows who enter the movie studious learn all the fundamenta's of acting--except the use of the voice.

The screen has recruited many of its stars from the stage, but in the twenty-odd years in which motion pictures have been made there has been no instance of the film studios developing one star for the stage. There will never be an even exchange of material between studio and stage. For that reason the profession of stage acting may become more profitable than any other profession which the new generation of men can enter. It will be at least as remunerative as screen acting is now. John Barrymore is filling the old Manhattan Opera House for three weeks with a return engagement of "Hamlet," in which he played 100 performances year.

It is significant that one Gotham reviewer refers to his "vibrant Hamlet." The outstanding feature of Barrymore's performance is vocal. Otis Skinner appears in "Sancho Panza," based on episodes of "Don Quixote." It is a fantastic play, staged with a great splash of color. It has ballet and music. In setting Skinner stands forth as the most glamorous figure on the stage. He is enabled to do this through the strength of his voice as much as thru any other of is many talents.

His voice keeps him from subdued by the brilliance that surrounds him. Skinner has probably the best speaking of any man now on the stage. Supporters of William Fav-' ersham take well-grounded ex- JOHN BARRYMORE ceptions to that. The movies have robbed the stage of one voice that, in volume at least. is superior those of Skinner and -the voice of William Farnum.

Stuart Walker, who has been treating the mid to stock representations of Broadway successes, has brought Arthur Henry's "Time" to town. This is a play about the effect of a domestic snarl on three generations. Father and mother come to a parting of the ways due to "the other woman." Grandparents and children connive to unsnag the snarl. Their scheme is highly amusing. There is little doubt of the success of "Meet the Wife," by Lynn Starling a newcomer to Broadway.

Here is farce at its best. It isn't quite fair to give away the plot of a farce. but be fair to warn you that Marv it may Boland in this play gives one of the delightful performances the most The fun of the play is conseason. tinuous. This Little World LONDON, Dec.

-The Crown Prince of Sweden recently married a member of English royalty and there By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Writer. was the usual amount of fub-dub, gold braid and pomp in which the King of Sweden took part. The royal family Sweden is descended from one of Napoleon's generals-Bernalotte, son of a moderately well-to-do French lawyer. The Sunday after the royal wedding in London the Swedish king's "bourgeois" blood got in its licks. He stole away from pomp and gauds and flunkies and went to a little Swelish church in the Marylebone district of London.

The king wore ordinary morning clothes and he sat amid an audience of Swedish people, all of whom had on their simple Sunday best. He held a democratic sort reception in which he me most of the Swedish colony. The cook and the clerk got just as hearty handshake as the banker and the diplomat.
