PROHIBITION SQUAD | HELD ARTER KILLING STUDENT IN VIRGINA Citizens Petition Governor to Investigate Shooting of 17-Year-Old Youth Richmond, Va., May 14.—(#)—Citi- tens of Washington county, Virginia, Joined today with the student body of Emory and Henry college in pe- titioning Governor Harry Flood Byrd to investigate the fatal shooting of J. W. Kendrick, 17, Emory and Henry student, by law enforcement officers be an automobile chase near ..bing- lon. Kendrick was wounded when three officers fire1 “at the tires” of the automobile, and died 24 hours later. Charging that “prosecution of law violators apparently has bee. thrown into the discard for prosecution of law observers,” the citizens’ petition called upon the goverror to obtain explanations of “the promiscuous and indiscriminate gun play in Washing- ton county and the practice of town and county officers of stopping and searching private automobiles without ‘a warrant.” The officers who shot said they had received complaints that Kendrick’s companions, Sterling Dutton and Paul Phelps, were drinking and disorderly, and that the car ignored an order to stop. They declared they did not snow Kendrick was in the machine. After the shooting Phelps and Dut- ton were arrested but denied they had been drinking.

Nor is it one to be easily for- gotten, for Mary Pickford’s striking performance as the flirtatious south- ern belle lifts it out of the ordinary. Added to this, her voice, which is all the advertisers have promised for it and more, make it one of the out- standing talkies. America's Swectheart, in her first speaking film, is better than ever, and herperformance in threeof the scenes excels anything -donc. so far in the sound pictures. One is when she is confronted by her old negro mammy, another is that following the death of her-lover, and the third takes place in the court room. The movie, ‘arranged along. ideas laid out by Miss Pickford, is more than an adaptation of the stage play by Ann Preston Bridges and George Abbott, which enjoyed a successful run on Broadway. It is a 1929 movie model. The play is--the stery-of a southern beauty who becomes enam- moured of a neighborhood: wastrel: ‘When the affair is discovered by her father, he shoots the boy. Later, to save her father from the chair, and herself from disgrace, the girl takes her life. In the movie the little southern coquette loses her heart to a poor boy of the community. After being, separated for months she spends a]... - part of the night in his mother's cabin, Gossip soon reaches her fath- er’s ears, and he goes to the cabin and shoots the boy. Later, when he finds that they genuinely loved each other he shoots himself, paying for the life of another as a southern gentleman should. The screen version has been changed and made cleaner. If it has suffered any loss of realism in this process, this lack is made up in the TUBSDAY, MAY 14, 1929 THF BISMARCK TRIRUN PROPOSED CHANGES IN TARIFF MEAS!RE GBT CONSIDERATION Representative Tom Hall, North Dakota, Member of Spe- cial Committee ‘Washington, May 14. — (?) — Pro- posed amendments to the pending tariff bill providing for higher rates on many commodities than those carried in the measure were received and taken under advisement today by the Republican members of the house ways and means committee.
