RAILROADS TO AID DRY ENFORGEMENT Nine Lines in Phiadelpia Dis tit Plaigs Thir Hilp Philadelphia, June 28 (M — One of the greatest problems in the en- forcement of prohibition in this section has been solved, federal offi- ciads believe, in the ratification of an agreement by Col. Samuel O. Wynne, dry administrator for the Philadelphia district, with nine railroads operating in the territory. Lnder the agreement, the rail- roads have promised to establish a thorough inspection service of all freight cars to prevent {llegal li- quor shipments and to provide close co-operation among prohibi- tion agents and railroad employes. In return Col. Wynne has agreed to stop confiscating their cars. The understanding, which result- ed from a conference in the local prohibition office, was characterized by Wynne as the ‘“greatest step to- ward the enforcement of the pro- hibition law that has been made in this district.” “He said the plan had so impressed Prohibition Commis- sioner James Doran that the latter had ordered copies of the agree- ment sent to the other dry admin- istrators throughout the country with the suggestion that they at. tempt to duplicate it. 1§ SENT-T0 JAIL Young Britisher Must Serve Siv Months For His Assault Upon London Girl After Auto Ride.

MOYVIE STARS MAY NOT HAYE SALARIES LOWERED Actors Today Are Cheered by Vague Rumors About Re- scinding of Orders. Hollywood, Calif., June 28 (UP) —The weekly pay envelope of the high-salaried movie stars may not lose its bulge after all. The actors today were cheered ; by . rumors that producers were considering rescinding the order for a 10 per cent wage cut to meet the high cost of production. At a hastily called meeting of the Motion Picturee Producers’ as- soclation last night, it was learned from reliable sources that members were considerably alarmed at the attitude the stars had taken to- ward the proposed reduction and the feasibility of postponing action was seriously discussed. The officials, however, had no an- nouncement’ to make at the close of the meeting. The protests against the wage re- dueétion *gained weight when Tom Mix, movie cowboy and one of the highest salaried stars, announced {he would not take a single dollar | reduction. Mix was the first of the stars to show open deflance of the order. | Threats of appealing to the Actors’ Equity in New York to organize the film stars were heard.

Astronomers long ago cstablished temporary observatories in the total- ity region and everything now is in readiness for applying the latest in- ventions of astronomical science to the observation of the first total eclipse of the sun occurring in this latitude since 1724. The weather has interfered greatly with the adjust- ment of the instruments. But the work has gone steadily forward, rather in hope than in faith. Weather prospects are continuing discouraging and the latost forecasts led gamblers to bet three to one against a clear sky Wednesday morn- ing. All the towns in the district were prepared to give the visitors plenty of amusement to pass the hours of waliting. Motlon picture theaters, dance halls and restaurants will be open throughout the night. Oslo, Norway, June 28 (A—Pro- fessor Frederick 8locum, director of the Van Vleck observatory in Connecticut, assisted by Professor B. W. Sitterly, has established an observation station in the mountains not far from Oslo to view the eclipse of the sun tomorrow. A number of other astronomers are also gathered in the vicinity. Weather prospects did not appear favorable. Quake and Landslides Cause Great Damage Moscow, June 28 (A—Landslides in the mountainous districts of the Crimea accompanied Sunday's earthquake, say dispatches today from Sebastopol giving more details of the disturbance, which was felt throughout the peninsula. Fifty houses were scriously dam- aged, and there was panic among the population, but few casualties are reported. A gigantic rock known as “The Monk,” near Yalta, crashed into the valley below, and a portion of the seashore was submerged. The earth- shocks continued from 1:20 p. m., 5 p. m. Moscow dispatches yesterday said the earthquake was attributed to a movement in the floor of the Black Sea. $97,207,65 IN DAMAGES Bridgeport, Conn., June 28.—®)— A total of $97,207.65:jn damages was awarded by juries in the Fair- ficld county superior court for the court year ending this month, ac- cording to a survey of the court records.

Havenford, Pa, June 28 P — Favorites are off to a flying start in the intercollegiate lawn tennis tournament at the Merion Cricket club, several having entered the fourth round to open the second day's play today. Two upsets, the defeat of Neil J. Sullivan of Lehigh and Ted Egg- man, Cornell, two of the east's seeded stars, featured the opening rounds yesterday, in which western players, especially those from the Pacific coast, gave brilliant exhibi- tions. Sullivan was a seml-finalist in 1926 and Eggman recently won the easterm intercollegiate champlon- ship. Of the six players advancing to the fourth round, three were Cali- fornians, Cranston Holman and Alan Harrington, of Stanford uni- versity, and Norval Craig, of Occi- dental college.

Pinkus Eyesight Specialist DAUDET MYSTERY |: STILL BAFFLING French Omcials Unable fo Ex- plain Releases Paris, June 28.—(—The search for an answer to the puzzle of how the warden of Sante prison was de- clded into releasing Leon Daudet, Royalist leader, his lieutenant, De- lest, and the communist, Semard had made no more progress today when the search for M. Daudet's hiding place. The only thing that sees to have been definitely estab- lished thus far is that the telephone ltching, Annoying Skin' Irritations Apply Zemo, Healing Liquid, Easy to Use When applied as directed Zemo effectively and .Qujckly stops Itching and heals Skln Irritations, Sores, Burns, Wounds and Chafing.

This fact is likely to make the task of the investigators more difficult than ever. M. Pijo’'s story was that the “Camelots Du Rol,” or King's Henchmen” had telephoned to the director of the prison from the ministry or interior giving orders purporting to be from the minister himself for the release of the men. They were permitted to walk out of the prison forthwith and the country | at large has chuckled at the ex- pense of the government ever since. M. Daudet, who was serving a five months’ sentence for libelling a taxi- cab driver in connection with the death of his son several years ago is in hiding near Paris, newspapers believe. One of his friends told the Matin he is likely to start a legal battle if he is rearrested, raising the point that he was regularly released, the jall register having been signed in accordance with the required for- malities, and that it is for the gov- ernment to prove his liberation was illegal before it can again imprison him. It was the government’s intention to release M. Daudet on July 14, Bastile day, when he would have served one month of his sentence, but it became known that the cabinet changed this decision, and now the general opinion is that if he is again piaced in prison it is likely he will be compelled to remain there for a considerable time. M. Delest is with Daudet, and it is believed Madame Daudet i{s with him also. Although informed that the authorities expect him to return to the prison within eight days, Semard is showing no signs of com- plying. He has made no effort to hide and is going about seemingly enjoying himself. FORMER CADDY RETURNS AS HERO T0 HOME TOWN Johnny Goodman, After Winning Trans-Mississippl Title, Is Showered With Homors. Omaha, Neb., June 28 UP—Johnny Paris |Goodman, 18 year old former caddy and the “head” of a family of nine brothers and sisters, has become the Lindbergh of his home town since he took the trans-Mississippi golf title from veteran linksmen at Broadmoor, Colo.

His benefactors also pointed out that Johnny would not have to turn professional. Johnny's mother is dead and the elder Goodman disappeared several years ago, leaving the son to watch the flock of nine, Goodman became a promising golfer shortly after he began caddying on Omaha links.
