(“Alfalfa Bill’) Murray has started ouster procecdings With unex- pected celerity against 10 public utility companies of the State. Leon 8. Hirsh, special attorney for Murray, late yesterday filed suit in State Supreme Court asking forfeiture of the companies' holdings in Okla- homa, confiscation of their properties and an injunction to prevent their con- tinued operation. A Speedy Action Necessary. Speedy action was necessary, Hirsh said, to forestall possible removal of properties to veil alleged law violations. A meeting for transfer of the properties ‘was scheduled for this morning in New York, Hirsh asserted. “We have rushed the filing of the petition,” he said, “to give full notice of the nature of the proceedings.” Gov.

ST. LOUIS, May 16.—When a new business policy is being discussed by the board of the New York Life Insur- ance Co. the question usually asked by Director Calvin Coolidge is “What would this cost us?” ‘Thomas A. Buckner, president, here today for & meeting of district repre- sentatives of the company, chuckled as he related in an interview several Cool- | idge anecdotes. “We were having a meeting not long 2go,” he said, “and the matter of waiv- ing certain of our requirements for the benefit of our more elderly agents came up. There was a pause and Mr. Cool- idge said: “‘What would this cost us?’ “Well, he had us stumped.

CARDONDALE, Ill, May 16.—Wil- liam Lorimer, once the “blond boss” of Illinois republicanism, mounted the stump again last night. “I'm fighting to save the Republicen | party from disaster,” said the former Senator, just turned 70 and in good health once more. ‘“There's one good | campaign in me yet, and I'm giving it to_rid the Nation of prohibition.” Last night's address was his first in a projected tour of the Tilinois con- gressional districts promoting an anti- prohibition delegation to the 1932 Re- publican National Convention. Ousted by Senate in 1912. ‘The United States Senate consigned Lorimer to political oblivion in 1912, vacating his seat l:'g voting 55 to 28 to uphold charges at the one-time “master strategist” elected by fraud and bribery. But last night it was the smiling, shaggy-haired Lorimer of old—the Lorimer who battled his way to con- trol of Cook County and Chicago poli- tics and was an ally »? the Republican partisans of former Gov. Len Small and William Hale Thompson, ex-Mayor of Chicago. The fire was still in his voice as he shouted : | “Prohibition is the most vexing o- cial question since the shackles were stricken from the slaves.” Snubbed by Rooseveit. ‘This was his first public appearance since 1928, when he joined former Mayor Thompson on his good will waterways trip to Washington. Then came the sequel fo Lorimer’s humilia- tion by former President Roosevelt. ‘Touring the country in 1910, Roose- velt was greeted with a banquet by the Hamilton Club of Chicago. Lorimer was an influential club member. He had weathered the first Senate investi- gation of charges that the Illinois Leg- islature was bribed into electing him Senator in 1909. The inquiry was widely publicized and Roosevelt threw a bombshell into the banquet when he refused to sit at the same table with the Illinois junior Senator. While at Washington in 1928 Thomp- son and Lorimer had breakfast with President Coolidge. | Discussing the 1932 presidential con- test, he said he would campaign for the selection of Dwight Morrow, New Jer- | sey Senator, as Republican nominse, was BROOKINGS BUILDING Founder of Institution and Wife Are Paid Tribute in Rites at New Edifice. Dr. L. S. Rowe, director general of the Pan-American Union and vice last night dedicated the new eight- story building which is to be the per- | manent home of the organization | founded by Robert 8. Brookings for re- search in political and economic ciences. At simple ceremonies at the imposing edifice overlooking La Fayette Park, Dr. Rowe paid tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Brookings. The latter donated the bullding in memory of her mother, Isa- bel Valle January. “The gift is an outward expression of that spirit of public service to which both dedicated their lives and which prompted their generosity to this insti- tution,” Dr. Rowe sald. Explaining the significance of the Brookings Institution, he said: “It is the outgrowth of the special needs of this country, probably the most inter- esting experiment in government which the world has ever seen, and it is des- tined to play an ever-broadening role in the evolution of that government along intelligent and scientific lines.” The basic_purpose of the Brookings Institution, Dr. Rowe explained, is the integration of the art of research and | the business of government. “The end which the founder has held in view is to create a firm alliance between gov- ernment and education,” he added. Other speakers were Dr. Harold G. Moulton, president of the institution, and Jerome D. Greene, member of the board of trustees of the Lee-Higginson Co., New York €ity. { —— e FUNERAL RITES HELD FOR ARTHUR H. GILES D. C, SATURDAY, From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “Young Sinners,” With Good Stage Show at Fox. «§ OUNG SINNERS,” the 3 screen version of the stage success which was repeatedly promised to ‘Washington, but got mis- lald somewhere, will probably be the most popular of the week's ‘cinema output. With Thomas 'Meighan re- warded by applause as he walked onto the screen for his first appear- ance in the talkies, Dorothy Jordan making better-than-per- fect love before a raging Ad- irondack fire, a gin - roaked weakling turn- ing into a husky man_of the world, and love triumphant over a society plot, all this is at least amus- ing, if light, sustenance for a warm evening, and may be Thomas Meighan, Viewed without trepidation After an exaggerated beginning, in which Hollywood stretches out a hand and arranges a series of su- per parties for the young folk, throwing Park avenue eggs out of Park avenue windows, the story calms down a bit and becomes legiti- mately entertaining. At the sug- gestion of a rich and un-under- standing father, his son, who has been thrown over by his girl, is taken “in hand by an Irish Strongfort of the Adirondacks (Thomas Meighan), who guarantees to restore this lad to health and proper living by a stern course of manhandling. This seems like a fairly easy thing for him to do, with $10,000 as a salary. And yet Mr. Meighan doesn't take the Job lightly—punching the boy in the nose when he reaches for the bot- tle, making him chop down East- ern redwoods, and filling him finally full of nice clean air, with no de- sire for anything but, say, at the worst, a coca-cola. Back, then, comes the light of his life (Dorothy Jordan). She rough- houses with the boy in front of the fire, but with not so much success as she had hoped, after telling him that her flance had been dismissed. And which pleases every one—in- cluding the audience—the boy knocks out his sturdy teacher, who has accused him of slipping back into the old days. Thus, love is triumphant and the audience goes home delighted with having seen Mr. Meighan again, as well as the lovely Miss Jordan, and Hardie Albright, who does an exceptionally good job as the young stripling who sows his oats and then steps on them. At yesterday's first sitting, the stage show “Society Circus” idea was more than cordially received, due in large part to the Harris Twins and Loretta, a splendid trio of acrobatic dancers, who stopped the show with no uncertainty. Bal- ancing on top of each other’s heads, executing the most difficult gyra- tions with skill and grace, it seems as though much should be heard of this team in some enterprising future Broadway production. Tabor & Greene, comedians, had their re- ward, too, as did other dancers, a series of ponies—one of them just off the Ludington Airline after missing “his” train—and Johnny Marvin, “Dr. Cheer,” in a new nov- elty act, which was greeted with enthusiasm by a large and eager audience. E. de 8. MELCHER. Columbia Players, “Hell Bent on Heaven.” THE Columbia Players presented their second performance of “Hell Bent fer Heaven" at the Wil- son Auditorium last evening and with this thrilling play of the Blue Ridge Mountains closed their regu- lar_season. For smoothness of action and sus- tained interest it was, perhaps, the best thing the organization has pro- duced. Robert Chase, as Rufe, is thought to have surpassed his work in “When the Ship Goes Down" last year, which won him selection as the season’s best actor in the Drama Guild_ contest. Orris Holland brought the touch that might be expected from the former star of the London company of “Friendly Enemies” in directing the play as well as in the interpretation of Dhvid the old mountaineer; Robert Barnett was a genuine and friendly Sid, and_ Aurora Poston handled her role of Meg, the mother, with her usual kil Willard Miller, as Mat; Phillip Cole, a newcomer, as_the father, and Wilma Wright, as Jude, also gave effective support. “Subway Express” Up to the General Average. URDER mystery which defles MAY 16, 1931. vantage of presenting Jack Holt in a role which, though somewhat sub- dued, does not fail to give him an opportunity to display those effer- vescent qualities customarily asso- clated with his name. This play was welcomed in the original form because of the remark- able contact with the audience that was provided by a crowded stage, representing, & busy train in the | metropolis. On rare occasions such contacts are provided and give force to stage productions. This eu- lar feature is lacking in the sp: of the cameraman, and the proa: tion is relegated to the class where the plot and the individual acting must win the audience. It has much interest, without doubt, to those who saw the original play and to those | whose desire to view it had been | aroused by public comment on a | stage novelty. As a motion picture | it becomes an ordinary film, and its | appeal comes up to the general average. Besides the good acting of Jack Holt, there is excellent support from Alleen Pringle, and Fred Kelsey, as Kearney, the officious police officer, loses no opportunity to put burlesque into the action. As in the original, there is an outstanding bit of acting in the role of Stevens, whose life is taken as a penalty for too much knowledge of the original crime. In this character there is emotional work by Sidney Bracy, which is es- pecially commendable.” A very large cast is employed. The Keith program also includes a newsreel, a Grantland Rice film dealing with the leaders in base ball, organ selections, a comedy by Louise Fazenda and an original Mickey Mouse cartoon, called ““The D.
