He pons ot a mass mooting at
Newport called for tbe purpose or
discussing civic affairs, which end
ed in a riot and of petitions being
circulated In Newport thie week
to recall all city officials, were
aired today by Clarence Phillips,
locul attorney, who has just re
turned from Newport, The mass
meeting woe staged Monday night,
and attended by practically the en
tiro population of the city. Fol
lowing the meeting several fist
fights were staged In the street
outside the meeting pla-ce, it is
reported.
"Things certainly are boiling
over there," says I'hillips.
The controversy is a culmina
tion of a feud of long standing be
tween two factions of the city, a
principal episode of which was the
arrest a few months ago of Hobort
Davey, editor of the local paper on
a cnargo or criminal libel for re
producing a public document in
his newspaper, the document cost
ing reflection upon city officials,
who retorted by arresting Davey.
Davey a case Is slated to come up
for trial at Toledo on January 4.
At Monday night's mass meet
ing charges were flung that the
Newport city government is
honeycombed with graft. That in
to rent amounting to 30 per cent is
paid on city bonds was one of the
charges made, according to Pbil-llps.
"It seems lo me very signifi
cant," sand Phillips today, "that
the city officers rosented having
any discussion made of their
method of running city affairs."
At the mass meeting the New
port city recorder rose to bis feet
and launched Into an indictment
of Davey and his newspaper. Joe
Minton, Newport attorney, former
ly of Salem, was allowed to speak
In defense of Davey. The contro
versy kept growing hotter, with
the eventual result that the meet
ing ended in a riot, with nothing
accomplished. The meeting had
been called by the Newport Better
ment league, a new organization
The original plan was to hold It in
the chamber of commerce rooms,
but the crowd was so large that
it was h?ld in the city hall.
"Hard-boiled" Percy Rhyne, the
most promising candidate for the
centre on the varsity football team
at the University of Georgia, works
in a beauty parlor in Atlanta.

TOWER OF LIES
Lon Chancy In "The Tower of
Lies," a Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer
production, directed by Victor Sea
strom, will undoubtedly be ranked
one of the six outstanding pro
ductions of thi year, "The .Flower
of Llea" ,v , at mt Mcilig Hum
tre closes tomorrow I'venln-;,
Without doubt the popularity of
Noram Shearer and Lon Chaney.
co-stars, add to the attraction of
this production, but Scnstrom's di
rectorial genius hati given the pic
ture a touch of appeal that cannot
go unheeded. We had thought that
Seastrom had reached the pinnacle
In "He who gets slapped", in which
Miss Shearer and Chaney also ap
peared but that picture could never
attain the heights reached by "The
Tower of Lies.''
The picture is a screen adaption
of Selma Lagcrlof's popular novel,
"The Emperor of Portugallla." The
continuity was prepared by Agnes
Christine Johnston, who has many
successful scenarios to her credit
and who must have forgottenevery
hing out of the urluimW story for
her screen version.
At no time In the screen of Lon
Chaney or Norma Shearer has
either of the two stars been given
such a wonderful screen vehicle.
Miss SheaiMn has far outdone any
of her former successes and Chan
ey has made a radical departuro
from his regular characterizations
with highly gratifying results.
'The greatest characterization of
my entire screen career." That is
the way Lon Chaney describes his
role of "Jan," the "Insane Emper-
in "The Tower -of Lies."
