For this film version of “Father and Son,” which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, Dutler has selected a sterling cast hcaded by the lovely Sue Carol and David Rollins. From the outset Butler makes it clear that action is the keynote and comedy the high goal. The co-feature will present Tom Moore and Bessie Love in “Anybady | Here 8een Kelly,” a story that takes one from the fields of France to the | sidewalks of New York. Beginning Sunday “Lilac Time” begins a four day engagement with Colleen Moore and Gary Cooper. MARINE BAND COMING, The famous U. 8.

W. Lines and driven by Paul Giannatta of 26, South street, which was crossing South Main street at Ellis, going cast, according to Officer Axel Carl- son, who sent the boy to police headquarters in custody of Officer | George Moflitt. Because of Nis size, Captain | Kelly believed Spitzel to be over 16! years of age and was about to order hini to be in police court today, but on questioning him, learned that he | was only 15 years of age, so he turned the case over to the prot tlon department. According to Off cer Carlsen, the force of the impact moved the rear end of the truck fully six feet. Nobody was injured. Police Chief and Wife Observe Anmversarv, Chief of Police and Mrs. W.

All he can do is recom- mend to the congress, and he can assume the leadership of the Ameri- can people in an effort to show them that his recommendation is right. That is what I propose to do, :nd A.—“That question came up in the national convention, and the national convention “ deliberately, through the report of the commit- tee on credentials, left every dem§- crat in the United States free to express his own individyal opinion of what he thought on that subject. You have an admirable, acholarly gentleman running for United States senator, here, Mr, Metcalfe. I un- derstand that Nebraska is dry, but 1 would never ask Mr. Metcalfe to turn his back on the people of his state until such time as he can come out here and cenvince them that they are not tackling the prob- lem the right way. Q.—"How will your proposal for the sale of liquor in a few states meet your issue of personal liberty in the other states?®” A.—"The prevention of the sale of liguor ig in the exercise of police power, and I have clearly showed that if a majority of the people of a given state voted for the exercise of that police power in that direc- tion they should get it to the limit. “On the other hand, following the well defined Jeffersonian prin- ciple of state's rights, the state that does not want the exercise of that police power ought to be in a posi- tion, through a majority of the peo- ple to say so. Q.—"Are you &till personally op- posed to the 8t. Lawrence water- way? A.—"“Why, if the gentlemen had Jjust looked at my speech of accept- ance, they would have scen that 1 made as ciear a declaration on that as any man could make. I frankly said to the American people that while T was the governor of the state of New York, I favored the all-American royte, because it went through that state, but inaamuch as the figures affecting the 8t. Law- rence canal, as well as the all- American route, are disputed by some eminent engincers, I am will. ing to leave it to congress, after a atudy of the matter.” Now number seven is something of a tricky question. It says: “‘You have stated that the Un- derwood tariff law fulfills the pledge of this year's demggratic platform.’ “My answer {0 these distinguish- ed gentlemen is that I never said that and I challenge them to find it in any publie paper of mine.” The last one, number eight, this: “Are you in faver of higher food prices in the city or lower food prices on the farm?” “My answer to that is thd! the farmer can get the full benefit of, the value of his crop without in.’ creasing the price in the city."” Tilson Says Smith Is Confused on Issues New York, Sept. 19 %—Repre- sentative John Q. Tilson of Connee- ticut, chairman of the eastern re- publican speakers’ committee, said today that Governor Smith was “confused and confusing” on the McNary-Haugen bill. Mr. Tilson sald he was “not quite clear” on the governor's position *nh regard to the equalization fee, nd that he could not understand how the democratic candidate could endorse the principle of the controverted relief measure without endorsing the bill itself.
