COMMANDER OF SHIP WHICH ESCAPED WRECK TO TESTIFY. DENOUNCIATION Court of Naval Inquiry Continues to Probe! Into Disaster of Ships Which Went on Rocks in Pacific FOSTER IS GIVEN AY FEDERATION Radical Labor Leader Is SAN DIEGO, Calif., Oct. 8.—Lieutenant Commander Denounced by Speak- Leslie Bratton, judge advocate of the naval court of in- quiry investigating the destroyer disaster in which 7 ships | and 28 lives were lost off Honda, Calif., Sept. 8, was to} take the witness stand at today’s session of the court. Testifying in his capacity as captain of the U.S. S. Stod- jam %.

Since it was testified during the first week of the inquiry that “lttle weight was attached to radio warn- ings from Point Arguello by nav!- gators at head of the column, the question of how much consideration they actually recetved aboard ships in the rear was expected to be em- phasized in the cross examination of Commander Bratton, ‘The judge advocate was to be fol- lowed on the stand by witnesses from the U. 8, 8.

No mails arriving during that time, no newspapers, and ex- cept such spattering news as sifted in through the Western Union or over the telephone, Thermopolis knew nothing of what the rest of the world was doing. This gave the people of the Hot Springs city an opportunity to ex perience the “thrills” that Robinson Crusoe enjoyed on his islan dand to learn that it {s possible, for a time at least, to live alone, It would have been a hardship in any other community than Ther mopol But living isolated here ls much to be preferred to existence With all the convefiences at any @ther place jn the world, so Ther.

BIG SUCCESS AT RIALTO An unusually clever Paramount production, “The Silent Partner,” with Leatrice Joy, Owen Moore and Robert Edeson—a .very powerful drama—was given a highly success: ful presentation at the Rialto theater again last night. The picture is de- lightful in every respect. Miss Joy, as Lisa Coburn, finds that her husband {s speculating in the stock market and tells him that as long as he wins she will stick by him, but when he loses he loses her —this, not because she does not love him, but rather, to save him from himself, because the young wife has seen a sad example in a friend, a successful man, who gave up a good Position to speculate, only to meet with disaster. Coburn is successful, and Lisa takes advantage of this by making him ‘give her much money for ex- pensive gowns, pearls and the like, ut instead of spending the money, 8 showing isa deposits it in a bank. Thus when the crash comes she is pre- pared. All goes well until, through accl- dent, Coburn comes upon all the evi dence of his wife's evident duplicity | n her writing desk. He will not listen to her explanations and leaves ~—only to be reunited with his wife when both confess their mutual shortcoming: CHIROPRACTORS GIVING LOWER RATES IN CASPER The winter 3 months a man with little m fon of this fact, Prominent ire severe to ns. ertain of Cas- chiropractors have! we might say per bound themselves, uid those who need the science but who e not the mea regular rate for u Drs.
