HOLLywuOD. Aug. 14. The per-
sererini younc prcsit agent employed
by Theodore Koslol tllaxed me on
the street.
"KoMoff is going tosba the second
Valentino" he told me. "The women
are crazy about him.''
"My son." I replied.' '"don't youi
think its a uttlc rough on your client
to compare him to Valentino?"
"Iloiliuph Valentino makes $7000 a
week." replied the press asreut.
"And Theodore Kosloff was one a
member of tbw Huxsian balleit.'1
The press ojtent looked ptualed.
"My dear young man." I said to
him. "your client is a creative artist.
The fart that he has crmie to the
level of working in the movies can't
make me forget that. To have been
a member of the Russian ballet is
greater iu my estimation than to be
acclaimed tbe greatest living hi- vanip
in all moviedom."
The light cf understanding dawned
in the press agent's innocent eyes.
"th. I get you. You're one of those
artistic bugs. All riitlit. You come
along to Kotdoff's studio. You ought
to meet. He's a nut himself on this
artistic stuff."
And so f went. The pre as agent
had reached hi goal by a devious
path.
Flutter of short skirts punctuated
by the light thudding of slieu-d feet
on the floor. Kosioff's pupils were
employing th few precious minutes
before class time in practice.
1 watched a bov lithe and con
tained performing a jete-de-tour oeep
and over agsnn. laying his logs grace-
fully aloft and alighting each time
without a single distracting ruiver. A
girl not so far advanced was trying
earnestly to perfect her Italian tours
toiling around the room and then
around again working ti y iug. And
more girls finisjied dancers polishing
off the difficult ballet feats on the
full toe. .
One. glanc at thin room full of
would-be artists told me something.
I shonld have known ther had a Rus
sian master if I had not known who
that master was. lleeause there was
no nlaring no ftiolishnens. They
were all working like stsve? and the
master had not yet appeared1.
He came in preseitly and took his
seat. A short symmetricad. youngish
man with tbe rod of correction a
ix-foot bamboo in his hand. The
pupils ranged themselves at the bars
fixed around true walls Tbe piano
struck up.
"Ailei:"
The stick descended beating time
on the arm of the ebtir. The pupils
bvgan firt bar.
"Tea. thev have meetinars an' big
banquets say make films better an'
better. Brraghlih!"
Kosloff atrua-zled with a language
which lagged behind his thoacht. He
4-as trying to tell me about his ex
pertences In tbe movies. Class was
ovnr and we war sitting on tke stage
of Trinity auditorium whica adjoins
bia . studio.
Our movine nicture business com
an an Is aad atav an angle. No
fresh airs. No news. When I saw
in movina: nicture everything keel
my feeing. Ker art eet very im-
nortaut 'work hours after hours.
Thorourhb88 iss eet not? You
t'ink they do that in moving picture?
3heeee! Neraire!"
He looked at me with questing eyes.
"To mak good moving picture di-
rector must know he must know
tabout tMuntUc. music dancing many
thini. Butt have we director lute
that '.' Xaanar
1I swept his anas in a strong ges
turo that ennbraced the room.
"Oair horittn closed like our feel
ing). No opern windows. No fresh air.
Iik riding int the tube. Close. We
have regular norms moulds like you
have in kitchen for bake. Now w
want some .'romance. Very well.
'Hoooo!"
He reached' over in vivid pant''-
irnime. took do-wn an imaginary gem
.nan and fitted a resisting hunk of
Wough into it.
"So eet go. One picture after
another. No. change. All the same."
II.. ..il...
And so Kosloff expounded his
criticism of the medium that has
claimed trim in America claimed him
hwause tt i the medium that iajs
an artist most in this country. And
I found as he talked that the Russian
has a real faith in (his new medium.
He thinks it could b made into
true reflection of our1 modvrn Ufa. He
dors not. Uunk foe minute that it
is one at present.
"Well what is the remedy V I
anked him. "How do yon think the
movies coidd be improved?"
Ills eyes- lighted irp" as the eyes of
the man with a cause 'always do.
"Eet iss simple. A school for th
moving pictnre. A high school for the
actor an' a university for director.
"Tou see? IT tbe artist understood
about pantomime there would be no
need to use titles. If director under-
stood about line an' about expression
he would be able to express life a
eet iss.
"All big profiteers could easy get
together and put up money for sues
a school. Uke tbe theatrical school
of Russia where all the artists art
trained. Where they take child at S
and keep bit he ias IS. That would
solve the problem. eh? But will they
do eet?"
"Well will they? What do you
think?"
'I fink no!" emphatically ex-
claimed Valentino's rival.

"mystery laadT under the American
flag a vast stretch of mountain and
plaia ut North wast Alaska now s
under exploration by the federai gov-
ernment. The tract comprises some 35 MS
sciuare miles and was set aside last
February by President Hardin as a
naval otl reserve. Some traces of oil
have been found on Its borders but
for the most part Its qualities and re-
sources are a matter ot speculation.
The exploration recently begun la un-
der the direction ot six scientists of
the interior depart men'. whne
prkmary task will be to investigate
oil mining possibilities but who In
addition win make the first mase of
the region ever drawn on slcentifk:
lines.
Four or five summers are to be con-
sumed before the exploration Is com-
plete hot during the present season It
Is hoped to complete a preliminary
reconnalsance and determine the. loca-
tion of the most promising oil fields
For this purpose the geologists and
topographers and their camp hands
have drvHed hrto three parties. In the
hope that by this means most of the
tract can he covered before winter
begins.
The few (acts known about the dis-
tract are that tt constats malnlv of a
flstt and barren laad near the seacoast.

ited by white men snd that in the

on the south by the Knaleott Range
and on the east by the CorvUIe river.
Whalers are! a tew other hardy ad-
venturers have visited the coast and
several small posts have been orga-
nised. Several oil companies have
sent prospectors to look over the many
oil seeps to be seen near the coast
but no togal claims of permits for x-
ploltatloh e the resources have been
granted. In place the surface oil is
aid to have been collected rn small
ponds and puddles and semi -solid tar
residues have been reported.
Whether the federal government will
undertake the development of the ter-
ritory will be determined later. Tht
working season would he so short
however and the difficulties of drill-
ing storing snd transportation so im-
mense that unless oil is discovered
In great quantity lessee will be
granted to private flrma
Blnce the area Is situated entirely
within the Arctic Circle not only
would transportation distances b
great but the cold would prevent a
working season of more than a few
months each year. The depart ment'a
men ware unable to work until July
because of Ice conditions and they
will hardly be able to continue later
than the middle of September.

through the dismantled sectioa and
further into the interior.
Oa the entrances between 27 and
30. the majority of those brought out
alive were found. Many had taken
refuge in rooms off the main slope
and were adopting such first aid
measures as they knew to save them-
selves iu event of poison cms gases
sweeping through the mine.
tne miner who had guue through
three such explosions is credited with
saving the hves of six comrades by
instructing tliem in the method of
averting inhalation of gas and direct-
ing them to a safe portion of the
mine.
Tbe first intirnvatioa workers oa the
eutsiib of the mine bad that there
had been a disaster was given short-

Alarm Wires Tars Down.
An effort was immediately made tn
sound the electric danger alarm sys-
tem with nbich tbe mine is equipped
but the explosion had torn down the
wires. Hurried calls were sent im-
mediately to Keramerer and velna-
teer workers rushed to the mine from
other properties of the company.
Within a few minutes the trst
resene workers went into the is.
It waa tilled with smoke. The first
evidence they obtained of the extent
of the disaster was on the fifteenth
entry where they found the body of
a pumpman. A short time later they
encountered the wrecked "trip" cars.
Meantime cnoapany officials hid
begun mobitixauon of rescue first aid
forces on the outside of the mine. A
temporary hospital was established in
tbe blacksmith shop at tbe mouth of
the mine doctors were summoned and
nuru-s were rushed to the first aid
station.
Tonight at least six doctors were
working at the mine four under-
takers were on the scene sad a doxen
trained nurses were giving first aid
t the survivors and in some cases
to bereaved women who thronged
around the mouth of the shaft.
Althougk rescue workers declare
they saw many bodies iu the mine
when they entered they did not stop
except to a Jeer tain if tke men were
living. In many cases they resusci-
tated miners wki were suffering; keen-
ly and carried their bodies from the

to help the victims walk out by guid-

Short re after the explosion it was

Officers contending that the United
State hod a right to aela a ces.it
attemntiac to smuggle aaorclaaxidiae
into this country from a point with
ia 12 miles of land based their ar-
guments largely upon a decision by
Chief Justice Marshall ia 1804. V.i
that opinion tbe doctrine was liidJ
down that the right ot nation to
seise vessels attempting an ilHcil
trade was not confined to its harbor
or the range of Us batteries. The
case is known as Church against I tab-
bard au4 waa one in which Church
sought to recover from Hnbbardl the
amount of insurance $2.()0- placed
on the American barkentia Aaron
which was seised by th Portuguese
authorities while attempting to smug-
gle goods into Braxil then a Portu-
guese colony. Tbe insurance contract
was signed in New York and had
previaaw that if the vessel came to
grief while engaged in illicit trade
the contract would be void.
The seizure of the Aurora was en
det a "hovering act" of the King of
Portugal and in finding for th de-
fendant Chief Justice Marshall stated
that ordinarily the law was effective
within tke three-mile limit "bat for
purpose of tlicit trad tbe vigilance
of government may be ex leaded
somewhat further." Again ho said
that 'Its (a governments) power to
secure itself from injury may certain-
ly be extended beyond tke Units of
its territory."
