Government Ownership, Senator Johnson Urges; Time For Action Is Now By Associated Press Washington, Feb. 13.—Perman ent government ownership of rail roads rather than government con trol, for the period of the war, was advocated by Senator Johnson, of California, to-day in a speech oppos ing the Senate draft of the adminis tration's railroad bill. "1 would now take the inevitable next step in government control of our railroads," Senatpr Johnson de clared. "and do whatever might be essential to make that government control permanent government own ership. or at least leave the way open so that immediately upon the ter mination of the war, we might fol low to its logical conclusion what already we have partly done." The California Senator protested vigorously at the proposed rate of compensation to be paid the rail roads under the provisions the bill and also opposed the Senate's plan to turn the roads back to private management eighteen months after the conclusion of peace. In support of his declaration for government ownership. Senator ; Johnson said that the railroads had : broken down under the stress of the last few months; tluit if the country is to have efficient national trans- 1 poration the roads must be nation alized and operated by one directing ] head; that the American people have "paid the price of private own- • ership" and that "despite barriers or ' obstacles, th nation is marching j straight to the goal of public own- , ership, anil the people at last will . come into their own." Annette Kellermann in "A Daughter of the Gods" William Fox's widely advertised "million-dollar" cinema. "A Daughter of the Gods," with that incompar able priestess of the water, Annette Kellermann, in the principal role, was shown at the Victoria yesterday and last evening to crowded houses. There was unfolded on the screen a mythical tale of a little child who lost her pet bird, and whose heart be came so broken that she died. In a land of fairies and other things eth ereal. the soul of a bird is transform ed into a lovely woman, a Dream Maiden (Miss Kellermann). This Dream Maiden is destined to meet a fairy Prince, the son of a powerful Sultan. But the old Sultan covets her frail beauty himself and has her thrown into the royal harem where, as one ol' the extraordinary titles of the picture expresses it, "laughter is with the lips, and not the heart." The Dream Maiden escapes by jumping into the sea from a tower hundreds of feet in the air. She is chased by black slaves, captured and thrown to the royal crocodiles. But the crocodiles are transformed into white swans by a good fairy, and with these white swans, the Dream Maiden floats away to pay a visit to the land of Gnomes and Elves. „ "A Daughter of the Gods will be shown again to-day and to-morrow at the Victoria. nIjSBER STAMQfI UH| SEALS A STENCILS U% 11 VMF6.BYHBG.
