Ml OF HUGHES EXPECTB WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. (AP) Confirmation of Charles Evans Hughes by the senate as chief justice seems : assured, and next week, immediately after that business Is transacted, he will take over the new poet. A day of reflection upon the nomination of the former ecre tary of state and former supreme court Jurist developed no sign of opposition to him in the senate. Chairman Morris, of the senate judiciary committee, felt no haste was necessary In consideration of Mr. Hughes, however, and stood by his decision to await the regu lar meeting ' of the committee next Monday. Surprised Washington learned today that the selection of Mr. Hughes by President Hoover as a successor- to William Howard Taft- was no surprise to Mr. Hughes Mr. Hughes had been to the White Honse several times la recent weeks. Soon after Chief Justice Tuft's last .breakdown, It became appar ent to his intimates that future service on the bench was unlikely for mm. This word was conveyed to the president A breakfast conference with Mr. Hughes fol lowed. Senate leaders were clearly re lieved to learn that the nominee for chief justice intended resign ing his post on the World court. The World.' court subject is a con troversial one in the senate, and the issue is soon to come un there again on the question of Ameri can adherence. But senators who are determinedly opposed" to Mr. Hughes' views in favor ot Adher ence to the- World court- as well as to his political end economic views, feel that is no basis for opposition to him for the highest tribunal of the land. Senator Norris ; made Is .clear that the Hughes nomination would be treated like any other coming before the Judleary com mittee. ; 2 Salem Youths Are Alternates For Annapolis PORTLAND. , Ore,; Feb; 4--(AP) The Oregonlea. in a spe cial ydlspatch from Its Washing ton correspondent, tomorrow will say Idgar.Batcheller of Corral-' lie has been principal appointee ie the United States naval aca demy at Annapolis by Represen tative Hawley of "Salem.

Cel., Feb. 4. (AP) Twenty-twe years ago to dayra Chinese laundry was turn ed into southern California's first motion picture studio. : Today, on its youthful birthday, the motion picture Industry, with a dozen major studios and smaller units turning out yearly millions ot feet of films here represents a growth of an investment from a few hundred dollars to man? millions. ; Veterans of the film eapltal turned mellowed memories back to that first splurge into a field of entertainment where the pos sibility of success was clothed in heavy doubt, and marvelled at the strides, which motion pictures have made in the short span ot a bit more than a score of years. The first movie made in that Chi nese laundry was "Across the Di vide" and it measured the then great length of 7S0 feet. - It was-la 1907 that the first motion picture' invasion struck Los Angeles. In the party were Francis Boggs, a director for Col onel William Selig, and Thomas Persons, who was cameraman, business and general utility man. Their first business was to com plete a one reel version of "The Count of Monte Crlsto," the In terior for which had been filmed In Chicago. After finishing this picture on the oeean beach, Boggs and Per sons began their search tor a stu dio. They leased Sing Loo's laun dry at Seventh and Olive, then a district only beginning tot feel the awakening of an expanding business area and now in the heart of the metropolitan con tines. " With a studio procured, the two movie pioneers started to look around for actors. The first play er they engaged was Nick Cogley, then a comedian with the Belasco stock company. Boggs, in person and after much difficulty interest ed other actors and on February 4, 1908, shooting was started in the rickety laundry building. EtsrlBM PROPOSALS FLAYED WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (AP) Opposition of various organisa tions to loosening the Immigra tion laws, as proposed In-several pending bills, and a protest from Maine's four ' representatives against any restriction of Canadi an immigration, were registered today before the house immigra tion committee. The session was divided be tween the Johnson and Box bills to restrict western hemisphere immigration, and the Dlckstein bills, which would liberalize present laws governing- the entry of aliens. The attitude df some forty-tier societies against the Dlckstein proposals was set forth by Frank B. Steele, general counsel of the sons of the American revolution; Francis H. Klnnlcutt, president of the Allied Patriotic societies: and Q. J. Mitchell, chairman of the legislative committee ot the Pa triotic Order of Sons of America. Steele presented a resolution adopted by It organizations, in cluding the American Legion, Daughters of the American Rev olution, and Disabled American Veterans, the American War Mothers and the Keymen of Am erica. It opposed each of the Dlckstein measures "and all other bills adding to the class of aliens admitted outside the quota or le galizing illegal entrants after 1921 or in any way weakening the deportation act of 1929." Both Mexican and Canadian Immigrants would be restricted under the Johnson and Box meas ures. The Grange representative suggested that a commission he named to make a study of tab farm labor situation in -the south west before approving any bill partially to exclude the entry of Mexicans.

At last some one has done It- am a one has made a picture without a single woman in it and that "some one" is John Ford and the picture is "Men Without Women." The stirring dramatic Incidents in tha Hyps of men have for a long time intrigued the minds of a tew directors but the majority has said that pictures without the Iota plement would never be look ed by the picture going public. Ford, however, has kept taiin with the idea and at last has cre ated what is -said to be an intense ly dramatic story woven about the sinking ot a submarine some place in the Chinese sea. Ken neth MacKenna plays the lead In this picture. Don't forte t that today is the last time for "Sunnyside Up," at Blirh's Canitol and one excellent chance to laugh.

The auditorium of Waller hall was entirely filled, and tor the most part those present were peo ple who had known both Miss Helen Calbreath, accompanist. and Miss Evelene Calbreath, ver satile artist, since childhood. NA song composed by Miss Cal breath and dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Bishop on their golden wedding anniversary was sung by Miss Calbreath Tuesday night aft er she had requested Mr. and Mrs. Bishop to stand and Mr. Bishop had publicly thanked Miss Calbreath and mentioned the years of friendship between the two families. Another song, written by Gertrude Robinson Ross, and set to music by Miss Calbreath, was sung by her after she had asked If Mrs. Ross be in the house. The complete recital was much like a well-behaved family party with exchange of smiles from stage and audience. Miss Calbreath had such per fect poise and winning stage pres ence that this alone added much tp her program. As to her music she was sur prisingly versatile. All hut four numbers of six groups were her own compositions, some both words and music, some composi tions for piano alone, some for voice and piano accompaniment, and one for piano and violin. She not only sang her own song, but she played her own piano compositions and It Is rumored, she could have played her violin compositions as well. Her work has pronounced va-' rlety. Is Impressionistic, shows de cidedly modern treatment and yet retains the true elements of pure music. In song "I Am the Wind showed especially interesting treatment as did also the piano composition "Prelnd e." and "Across the Sand."
