Turned out into the streets thru
the unjust suspicions of her hus
i band, denied the dearest privilege
| of a mother’s heart, the right to see
I her son—Jacqueline Floriot main
I tained the sacred traditions of
I motherhood even though the mire
! of a sordid life retarded her weary
; footsteps.
Her husband, grown in political
; influence, became the judge 6f a
Paris criminal court and strangely
! enough Jacqueline's murder of a
blackmailer who would have ruined
his career brought her before his
bar of justice for punishment. An
other cruel twist of fate and Ray
mond Floriot, her son, was placed
before the bar in her defense. And
here the tragic triangle fought it«
piteous battle. The mother recog
nized her husband in the stern jus
tice before her but her eyes did
| not perceive her son. When the truth
came, when her woman's honor was
vindicated, death gave her peace.
"Madame X" is tragedy, but it is
tragedy of the sort that distills and
purifies one's thoughts and ideals.
Pauline Frederick as Jacqueline
! Floriot, has a role in which she
exceeds all her previous efforts. She
is at the zenith of her art in this
masterpiece.

COMMISSION OFFERS NENANA
CHANCE TO BUY NEW PLANT
According to a statement made j
by Col. Mears to the members of!
the city council, at a special meet
ing held yesterday morning, the j
Alaskan Engineering Commission !
stands ready to provide Nenana with j
a new and modern electric power j
plant, providing the town is willing
to assume the responsibility of pay-1
ing a certain amount down and the
balance in annual payments, cover- '
ing a period of five or ten years. ;
The offer was made in the course
of a discussion of the public util
ities question. Col. Mears being in
attendance at the invitation of the
council
The council had been informed
by Manager R. S Donaldson, of the j
Healy River Coal Corporation, that !
his company desired to withdraw!
from the management of the Com
mission’s plant, and it was for the
purpose of considering ways and 1
means of keeping the plant going
that the meeting was called. Mr.
Donaldson explained that it was :
impossible, under present conditions!
to operate the plant economically, j
and that his company already had i
lost all that it felt it could afford
to. However, after Col. Mears had
suggested the installation of a new
plant, to be owned and operated by
the town, and explained that the j
present plant would be repaired in!
the very near future. Mr. Donald-1
son expressed the belief that it
might be possible to cut operating
costs sufficiently to enable his com
pany to continue running the plant
until the proposed municipal plant
can be installed.
Col. Mears said that such an out
fit as he had in mind would cost
about $25,000 and expressed a will
ingness to accept a payment of
$5,000 down, providing the council
could see its way clear to enter in
to such an agreement. He advised
prompt action and it is probable
the council will be ready to give
him a definite answer at a very
early date.
In a general discussion of rail
road plans. Col. Mears explained
that negotiations were in progress
for the acquisition of certain lots
at the foot of A street, for use in
connection with the erection of a
modern depot. The lots desired are
those owned by Anderson Bros, i:
N'erland and George Tanaka, of the
Northern Cafe and. if acquired, they
will be used for a driveway in front
of the proposed depot Col. Mears
has offered to move the building
affected to equally desirable loca
tions elsewhere in the block between
Front and First streets.
With regard to the status of lots
which have been sold by the Gov
ernment in Nenana, Col. Mears ex
plained that all lots upon which
payments are delinquent will be
forfeited eventually, in accordance
with the original plans. This mat
ter, he said, is now receiving the
attention of the land office in An
chorage and in due time townsite
affairs will be cleaned up here also.

The way things have turned out.1
that 11-11-11 hunch was not a verj :
lucky one this year.
Tom Smith lost over $7,000 this j
morning—But there are others, for j
that matter.
It is reported around town that
Al Clarno holds R. S. McDonald’s
power of attorney to look after the
ice movement this year.
John Demos, famous N'enam
sport, says that his only regret is
that this is not 1919 instead of |
1922. There's a reason.
—
Al Clarno has moved his office
cut to N'enana Crossing until after
the ice goes out.
Bob Donaldson says it was not I
the breakup that brought him to j
town but it is noticed that he is ;
keeping very close tab on water-1
front conditions.
Dave Sweet declares the ice is
not going to move at all this year, j
“Butch" Miller informs The News ■
i he has no occasion to worry—yet. ,
| Pete Schmidt is going to be aw
• fully unpopular among the ladies j
I if all of his partnership tickets go
wrong.
Capt. Jones says there is nothing
to that report that he is interfering
with the ice in order to star: it
moving ahead of time. He is too
busy with his railroad work.
Those fellows who are operating
a ferry on the waterfront are hop
ing the ice will stay just as it is
forever.
There was an opening in the :
Tanana river ice this afternoon of:
sufficient length to permit C. E. '
Neuser and John P. Colman to op-1
erate a skiff ferry between shores, j
with the exception of about 50 feet.
The opening was just above the
mouth of the Nenana river and ap
peared to be growing larger stead-1
ily, with large pieces of ice con-:
tinually breaking away from the
main ice sheet.
