THOMAS MEIGHAN AT PALACE Tom Melghan's back in a love- crook-melodrama, “The Confldence Man,” which had its premiere at the Palace today. It's the strong? est’ story Meighan has had in many months as well as the most entertalning. The story, which ran as a serial in Argosy, All-Story Weekly, brings the “good luck” star to the screen in the role of a cleyer confidence man type of crook. He goes to a small town to rope In a miserly old fellow on a fake oil stock deal, gets in right with the people of the vil- lage, gets his victim's money and prepares to skip when the ‘“man higher up" arrives from New York. Virginia Valll, star of “A Lady of Quality,” is leading woman, Cyrill Ring and Laurence Wheat are prominent in the supporting cast which is typical of all Meigham pro- ductions and includes, among others, Charles Dow Clark, Jimniie Lapsley, Dorothy Walters and David Higgins. Starting Monday for six days Norma Talmadge will be offered in “Secretg", ANNIVERSARY WEEK—CAPITOL A brand new bill of seven Keith vaudeville acts opens a three-day engagement at the Capitol today in the celebration of the theater's IMirst Anniversary.

O. attraction at the Lyceum theater for the Jast three days of the week, has scored a tremendous sen- sation and this afternoon the theater was well filled with' enthusiastic ad- mirers of Mae Busch, star of the film, She plays a role especlally adapted to her manner of acting as suggested by the title of the picture. The story deals with a clergyman’s wife who is placed in an embarrass- ing position by the actions of an un- scrupulous man. Rather than re. turn and bring’ disgriee to her hus- band and baby son, she lets them believe she has lost her life in a storm and, gventually goes with the man who has wronged her, cast of brilllant players support | Mae Busch, including Irene Rich, | Vorgan ®Wallace, Rex Lease and Bobby Mack. The story was written, directed and produced by Finis Fox. Many other shorter films complete a program of merit. On Friday afternoon, September 19, Sousa’s world famous band will glve a matinee performance at this theater. Ruth Denies Dead Man Was His Grandfather New York, Sept. 4—The Rev. G. W.

OTHER HEAVENLY BODIES HABITED, SKY PEEPER SAYS Absurd to Think We are Only Be- and ings in Existence, Dr, Aitkin ' Asserts. San Jose, Calif., Sept. 4.—Al- though astronomers have no direct observational evidence that life ex- ists on Mars or on any other planet except the earth, Dr. Robert G. Ait- Kkin, assistant director of Lick ob- servatory, said in an address before the San Jose Rotary club today that it 18 absurd to assume that the earth is the only inhabited or habitable planet. “The milky way contains thou- sands of suns,” Dr. Aitkin said. Fach 18 probably surrounded by its own system of planets, each may be greater than our own solar system. In view of this it seems absurd to think that of this vast universe of heavenly bodies, but one tiny, in- finitesimal planet, earth, contains the only intelligent beings.” Commenting on the markings of Mars as evidence of life on that planet, Dr. ‘Aitkin said that to be vistble %o astronomers of this earth, markings would have to be from 50 to 100 miles wide, hence the notion that sueh markings, plainly visible a8 they are, are canals such as would be built on this earth, is absurd. “It's not likely they are canals,” he added, “unless they do things very different on Mars than on earth.” PEACHES AND PEACHES, It was “Peach Day” at the Day Nursery yesterday and scorcs of tiny tots and some not so tiny had a great time eating fresh, ripe, Jjuicy peaches and all they wanted of them. ,Three large baskets of | peaches were delivered at the nur- sery during the day as the gift of Mrs. Elijah Rogers and the result was a peach scramble that amount- | ed almost to a Juvenile riot. e A Bad Taste in the Morning is Nature's warning that your in- testines are clogged up.

Piggly Wiggly Founder Believes Judge Biased Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 4.—An affi- davit of personal bias and-prejudice and petition for the refusal of Judge J. W. Ross before whom his recei- vership suit against the Piggly Wig- gly corporation is pending in U. 8. district court here, was flled late yesterday by Clarknce Saunders, for- mer president of - the corporation, through his attorneys. The petition alleged that Judge Ross had “gratuitously and without warrant expressei himself in con- demnatory terms of the ‘affiant” (S:\undel‘s) and had attributed to Saundeu “unlawful and base mo- tives.” It is further charged that the recaivership suit now pending before Judge Ross “involves the fi- nancial intercst of parties adversely | opposed to affiant's interest” and that Judge Ross is “obligated” to these parties “for finanelal favors.” MUST BE VACCINATED With the re-opening of schools | next Monday, the schos! department is preparing to enforce the vaccina- tion ruling passed last spring and no { pupils who have not been success- folly vaccinated or who cannot sub- mit certificates from doctors stating take the treatment, will be adm#t- ted to classes.

The robbery was one of the most daring ever perpetrated in Spring- fleld. Six men drove up to the bank at 1 p. m, Four of them entered the bank and two remained in the gar. The leader commanded Warren E. Lewls, president, to.throw up his hands and after taking a valuable diamond ring from one of his fingers commanded him to move into the vault. Lewis hesitated and was struck over the head. He was pushed in the vault and other em- ployes were put in fhere with him.
