Famous Writer Quits Film Field in Blaze of Wrath Peter B. Kyne Declares Pic tures Are Not Art, “but More Like Cannery”— Code of Ethics Lacking. Los Angeles, Feb. 18.—Peter B. Kyne, author of ‘‘Cappy Ricks.” and other stories, bade good-bye to the films In a speech before the com mercial board at Los Angeles, and wasted no words In telling what he thinks of the moving picture indus try. His words were so bitter that most of his audience were shocked. He declared the moving pictures were not an art. "but more like a cannery.” He ia glad to get out of it. He will write no more stories for the camera and he told them why. ‘ The industry,” he said, “is not the work of one intelligence, but a com posite of a number of intelligences and alleged intelligences. “When someone said Jo me recent ly, 'the industry is still in its In fancy,’ I replied. ‘No. the infants are still in the industry.' "I see no future for the motion pic lure industry until it gets down to brass tacks and establishes a code of ethics. I resent the assertion that authors will not co-operate with the industry. The industry has not de veloped an art. It has developed simply a business that Is dictated sole ly by the profits to be realized from lurid titles fastened to all too lurid tales." Advertising Unethical. He charged that hugs profits have been the result largely of advertising methods that would he unethical in any other line of business. “Every superlative in the dictionary is used to describe the cheapest kind of trappy picture,” he declared. '■Those who control the pictures do not want good, clean, wholesottle stories. The pictures being shown are built on the theory of shocking the nervous system rather than by ap pealing to the heart. They have bus iness men passing on the work of au thors. We authors have something the pictures need. But they will not take our beet w'ork. “I have had to peddle my stories from studio to studio. I’ve had to sell a story first to the office hoy. then to the stenographer, the editor, the director, the star, and then to get it sold, I must finally have It ship ped back for the decision of the New York business office before the deal closed." Contracts Broken. Mr. Kyna said the recent disposal ef six of his stories resulted In five broken contracts and lawsuits. "I have never made an engagement with anyone tn the industry, but what that engagement waa broken," he went on. "I have never contracted to sell a story hut what they have tried the very next day to buy it for less than agreed on. “I went to the opening of the Met ropolitan theater recently: beard Bull Montana make a speech, saw Ruth Roland klse Bid Orauman, the owner of the thekter, witnessed a general ‘love feast' all around. But I didn't hear any cries of 'author, author.’ "Yet It is the authors who are looked to for supplying the funda mental ground work upon which the picture Industry is built.” Mr. Kyne has sympathisers in some of the producers, including Douglas Fairbanks, who are making an earneet effort to "get together and do away with canned motion pic tures.” Portland Youth Killed When Caught in Gas Engine Msson City, la., Feb. 18—(Special.) - Buster,” 9, son of John Carmody, died at the farm home near Portland of Injuries received, when he was ■aught in a gasoline engine. He suf fered two terrific blows on the head when he was slung around by the flywheel in which his clothing caught. The father, who was nearby, had to release the engine to disentangle his •on's clothing. 23 Persons Are Killed i in Insane Asylum Fire (Continued From Taco One.) ant had been recovered tonight. In addition, a few charred bones had been ■ found. Among the five bodies which had been Identified were those of three world war veterans who had been suf fering from shell shock. They were Vincent Delbene, Frank From berg and James R. Hines, all of New Tork. The other two Identified were Solo mon Applebaum and Nathan Cohen, also of New York. Attempt to iden tify the others was abandoned. Most of the bodies were badly charred and it was believed many of them never would be positively identified. The building in which the fire oc curred—the so-called "main building” —is an ancient brick and wood struc ture, shaped like the letter E. It is three stories high and had accommo dations for 2,200 patients. There were about 1,600 in it when the fire was discovered and of these about 300 were seriously endangered by the flames. They were the patients In the west wing. Patients “Violent.” The 92 patient* Imprisoned in ward 43 on the third floor, where the tiro took its toll, were described by I3r. Heyman as "violent," homlcldally in clined men, any one of whom might suddenly have turned murderously upon his rescuers.” But so coolly did the attendants work that only in a half dozen cases at the most were there instances of struggles against, or attacks on, the attendants and firemen. While the rescue work was being carried forward, the flames burst through the roof of the building and lighted up the entire island. Screams of the terrified patients nearest the flames roused the entire population of the "Madmen's Isle” and in a twinkling every window framed a maniac's face. Some laughed and cried out in glee at the sight of the flames. Others stared moodily. Others wrenched at the barred windows and screamed for rescue. Panics Threatened Attendants in buildings far re moved from the danger zone had al most 11s strenuous a time in prevent ing panics as those at the actual scene of the blaze. The battle against the flames was hampered by the near ero weather and the difficulty in getting appar atus to the place. Ward's Island, a dot of land in the East river, just opposite East One Hundred and Sixteenth street and just above Blackwell's Island, has a fire department of its own. but the ferry boats on the river are too small to bear heavy equipment of the Man hattan force. The city force, forsaking its en gines, fire towers, hook and ladder trucks and hose wagons, went to the fray with no equfpment but a few lines of hose which ceuld be trans ported on the tiny fire boats. Fire companies which responded to the fire call had to lay hose lines nearly a half mile long. Asked More Protection. But despite their handicaps the city ami island forces succeeded in con fining the fire to the upper two floors of the jvest wing. Dr. Heyman declared lie had re peatedly sought from the state authorities additional fire protection for the hospital and that he had called in vain on the city authoirtles to station additional equipment there. The Island's fire department consists of 10 men and a chief, he said, and the equipment, aside from hose lines In the various buildings, was limited to one ancient, horse drawn engine and a hose cart, loaned by the city. The auditorium of the hospital was destroyed by fire two years ago. while '■ was crowded with inmates, but no lives were lost.

Resistance of Germans Taking More Active Form ■ —— Situation at Essen Reported as! Tense—French Forces Ready for Any Emergency. Essen, Feb. 17.—C4*l—The French ] military authorities In the Ruhr be lieve that the passive resistance of the Germans Is at an end and that the work of obstruction Is entering an active phase. They reached this conclusion a» a result of the bombing of the Kaiser hof hotel here, the sinking of barges in the Rhlne-Herne canal and the ac tivity of the nationalists, communists and other political parties the last few days. The French intelligence service has been informed to the effect that the populist party held a large secret meeting in Essen on Wednesday, the gathering being addressed by numer ous speakers who urged active oppo sition to the French and Belgian measures.

The French say they are ready for any emergency that may arise from the changed attitude of the Germans. As a further measure against out breaks in Gelsenkirchen, where there has been spasmodic trouble, the city was occupied today by French in fantry. cavalry and armored cars. Officials Expelled. Meanwhile the work of eliminating the trouble makers continues and &3 officials were expelled from the Ruhr Thursday acd Friday for disregarding French insrcvetions. The oberbur gomaeter of Dortmund and hla assist ant. the chief of the railway atation there and the district supervisor were arrested for disobedience. The obrrguronmaster of Duisburg, arrested hy the Bflgtans on a similar charge, was tried by a Belgian court martial at Aix-lA-Chapell* and sen tenced to one month in prison and to pay the trial costs. The situation here is tense. The city now is policed hy French troops, as German security police all went on strike when their barracks was oc cupied. Official Sentenced.

"You are aware, Jules he began, "that Mr. Babylon lias transferred ail his Interests In this hotel to me? "1 have been Informed to that ef feet »lr.". "You speak very food English for a foreigner.

Don’t you think It s time you got out of the rut” You are still young, and might make a reputation for yourself in another and wider sphere " Racksnl* looked at the man steadily, and hi* glance was as stead ! ily returned. "You aren't satisfied with me. sir?” 'To he frank, Jules. I think—i think you—er—wink too much.

And ’hark you ” Half an hour later Rackaole found that Miss Hpencer* chair In the hu lean was occpled tty a stately and Im perlous girl, dressed becomingly In black. "Heavens! Nella!" he cried "What are you doing here?” I am taking Miss Spencer s place. 1 want to hc-li* you with your hotel, tlad. I fancy 1 shall make an excel lent hotel clerk.

Just then the face of a fair-haired man of Blmut 30 years appeared at the bureau window He was very well dressed, very aristocratic in his pose, and he seemed rather angry. He looked fixedly at Nella. and started back "Ach"' li» exclaimed "You"’ "Y'es, your highness, it Is Indeed 1. father, tills is Mis Serene Highness Prince Arlbei t of Posen - one of our most esteemed customers,” "Y'ou know my name, frauleln?” i h* newcomer murmured In German ■'Certainly, prince."

Your pardon, prince.” There was a pause. "Dlntmock dead!" Prince Arlbert whispered, under his breath, and be kneeled down by the side of the stretcher. "What does this mean?" The poor fellow was just walking across the quadrangle towards the : portico when he fell down. It must be? heart disease I've sent for a doctor, and for the police." "Oblige me by taking the poor fel- . low to my apartments," said the prince.

"I may be aide to answer that ques tion after the post-mortem," said the doctor. "I certainly can t answer it now. The symptoms are unusual to a degree " The Inspector of police began to, write in a note book CHAPTER III—THE PRINCE. At the Grand Babylon a great ball was given that night In the Gold room, a huge saloon attached to the hotel, though scarcely part of it, and certainly less exclusive than the hotel j itself. Theodore Itacksole knew noth- j Ing of the affair, except that It wa* an entertainment offered by a Mr. and Mrs. Sampson Iyevi to their] friends Who Mr and Mrs. Sampson Eevl were ho und himself gating idly through the little burred window. Nella was with him. Together they had been wan derine about the corridors of the ho tel. still strange to them both, and It " is quite by accident that they had : lighted upon the small room. Except for the light of the chandelier of the hall room the little cubicle was In darkness. Presently Raokeole re marked: "Perhaps you haven't grasp ed the fact.

"Perhaps Mr. Jules Is a guest of Mrs. Bampson I>evi.” "Guest or no guest, he goes out of this hotel, even If I have to throw him out myself.” Theodore Racksole disappeared without another word, and N'ella fol lowed him. Hut when the millionaire arrived on the balcony floor he could see nothing of Jules, neither there nor in the ball room Itself. He searched everywhere in vain, and then returned to his original post of observation, that he might survey the place anew from that vantage ground. To his surprise he found a man In the dark little room, watch ing the scene of the ball as Intently as he himself had been doing a few minutes before. Hearing footsteps, the man turned with a start It was Jules. "Good evening, Mr. Raoksole." he said calmly. "I must apologize for belng here." "Force of habit, I suppose, said Theodore Raoksole dryly. "Just so, sir." "I fancied I had forbidden you to reenter this hotel?" "I thought your order applied only to my professional capacity. I am here tonight as the guest of Mr. and Mrs Snmpaon Levi." Rut I don’t allow anybody up here. ; my friend.” "For being up here I have already ! apologized." "Then, having apologized, you had better depart; that is my disinterested advioe to you." "Good night sir." Before midnight struck Theodore j Racksole had ascertained that the in , vitation list of Mr. and Mrs. Sampson ' I*evl, though a somewhat lengthy one. contained no reference to any such person as Jules. At 10 o clock the next morning Racksole was informed that the In spector of police desired to see him. The Inspected had coin*, he said, to snpe-iintend the removal of the body of Reginald Dlmmock to tiie place of inquest. Racksole told him to go and perform his duties. In a few minute* a message came from the inspector requesting Mr. Racksole to be good enough to come to him on the first floor Racksole went. In the anteroom, where the body of Reginald Dimmock had orig inally been pieced, were the inspector and Prince Aribert ar.d two police men. "Well?" said Racksole. Then he aaw- a coffin laid a- ross two r hair* He approaphed It. "It a empty." h» observed. • Ju»t so," said the inspector.
