No "Extras" Used,
It is seldom that in a motion picture
of the magnitude of Ira M. Lowry's war
romance, "For the Freedom of the
World," in which thousands of men
appear In the battle scenes, a multitude
of "extra people" are not employed. But
"For tha Freedom of the World" is lit
erally a picture without an extra.
Extras, as all motion picture people
know, are the greatest concern of the
assistant director, whose duty it is to
herd them, sea that they are fed at
meal hours, paid off at the proper mo
ment, and in the proper proportion, and
even In some cases to hunt them up and
engage them when the casting director
finds the Job a bigger one than he
cares to tackle.
When Mr. Lowry set about to produce
"For the Freedom of the World," the
Canadian government stepped in and
took the extra business off his hands.
Thousands of soldiers In training at
tha great camp in Valcartier and in
various other parts of the Dominion
were permitted to take part in the pic

CITY MEASURE DEFECTIVE
Bet Recently Made Here ou Question
of Bnylns Revolver Without Per
mit Brings' lo Light "Weak
Spot In State Statutes.
A wager of 120 between two men
over tha question of purchasing a re
volver without a police permit, by a
peculiar turn of events, yesterday re
vealed the fact that there la now no
state law requiring dealers to demand
written permission from the authori
ties, neither is there a workable city
ordinance, contrary to common belief.
In fact. It was not until yesieraay
morning in Municipal Court that the
situation became public.
For a long time It has been mo ac
cepted belief that a person could not
purchase any kind of a revolver, rifle,
shotgun, knife or dagger without a
written permit from the Chief of Po
lice, but developments yesterday morn
ing proved this to be purely belief and
not based upon facts. The etory lead
ing up to this conclusion is unique.
Buyer of Goa Arrested.
Last week a complaint waa made to
Deputy City Attorney Eeich that James
W. Law had bought a revolver from
the Hudson Arms Company without a
permit and he was arrested, but the
charge against him was that of having
weapon in his possession witnoui a
permit and no charge was filed against
the firm from which he bought it.
Last Saturday Mr. Deich was obliged
to drop his work at police headquarters
to go to a funeral and asked Deputy
District Attorney Ryan to rix up a com
plaint in the case, basing it upon a
state statute.
When Mr. Ryan began searching for
authority in the revised statutes of
1917. he found an elaborate group oi
sections governing practically every
thing else, but nothing regarding deal
ers' permits, eo he entered a charge
against Law of carrying a weapon
without a permit. ie 'auea up tne
Hudson Arms Company and criticised
its action, but that was as far as he
could go, he explained yesterday morn
Ing.
Police Rernra Weapon.
Meanwhile, Mr. Deich returned to his
work and found that the cas- was still
on the docket. Mr. law, through the
Intercession of Municipal Judge Ross
man, had received his revolver back
from tho police, although Captain
Moore refused to surrender it until he
received the court order.
yesterday morning Mr. Deich ap
peared in Municipal Court and asked
Judge Rossman to dismiss the case
against Law, saying the man had been
sufficiently punished by his arrest and
temporary loss cf the revolver and
that, inasmuch aa the firm could not be
prosecuted, he would drop further
prosecution. Judge Rossman entered
the order.
When the facts were put together, it
was found that, in aorae unknown way,
the Legislature of 1317 haa repealed
the provision of the s: -te law requir
ing dealers to take out pern.lt.i and a
perusal of the city ordinance by Mr.
Deich revealed that there is a "Joker"
In the measure which exempts "regu
larly established retail or wholesale
dealers" from Its provislcns. rendering
It worthless, according to Mr. Deich's
interpretation.
Atrthoritl - Hilda Tied.
There seems to be little that we can
do in a ease like this," said Mr. Deich,
"but I thought I would have Law ar
rested, partly because he violated the
anti-gambling laws by wagering with
a friend, whose name I do not know,
that he cou:a nuy a weapon without a
permit.
"Apparently, the state and city have
no law requiring dealers to demand
permits of anyone wishing to purchase
a weapon."
