AT THE “PALACE” “Peaks of Destiny” an UFA pro- duction distributed in this country by Paramount has been booked into the Palace for tomorrow. It is one of the best productions made by the same company that was responsible for “Varjety,” "ue(ropoli\" and “The Last Laugh." The story is enacted against the |assi beautiful mountain scenery of the Swiss Alps. Some of the highlights of the picture are the ski races with contestants drawn from all over the world, the dancing girl star and the rescue of the men on one of the highest peaks of the Alps during & terrific snow and wind storm. Co-teature, Karl Dane and George K. Arthur, wandering through mysterious grottoes, amid weird mummies, sinister shadows, and secret trapdoors that hurl the heroes of “Rookies” into the black depths, are making their bow in a new and very hilarious type of comedy in “Detectives.” Beginning today and for the bal- ance of the week the Capitol will of. fer their first talking picture “State Street Sadie.” The “Big Three of crook drama are shooting 'em up again! One of the most commended of | last season's detective thrillers was “The Girl from Chicago,” according to box office statistics. And a primary reason for its success was the team work of the three leading members of the cast, Conrad Nagel, Myrna Loy, and William Russell In “State Street Sadie” Conrad Nagel plays a dual role, while Myrna Loy is a policeman’s daugh- ter seeking, revenge for the slaying of her father by a bandit gapg of which Russel is the leader. Archie Mayo directed this Warner Bros. re- lease from E. T. Lowe's screen adaptation of a story by Melville Crossman. Others in the cast are those hard-boiled screen favorites, Georgle Stone and Pat Hartigan. There vill also b Vitaphone vaudeville offering “The Ingenues' @ girls' ja:z band; and Eugene and Willie Howard a comedy couple in “The Job Seeker.” Beginning Sunday night for the entire next week “Wings” the great epic of the air, will be offered with sound.

When he saw them she said he jumped inte the sea anu swam towards her. But the lifeboat kept pulling away. It was probably 20 minutes before Watson reached her side, Mrs. Slaughter said. He had supported her in the water for perhaps an hour, when he hailed a passing life- boat and helped her into it. As she lay exhausted in the bot- tom of the boat, Mrs. Slaughter said, she could hear whistling and cries of despair from the water. Some of the cries apparently came from women. The boat did not stop to pick up any other persons. Passed Floating Bodies As it went along she said she heard members of the boat crew say they were passing floating bodies. It was about 4:30 a. m, Tyesday when the Myriam finally picked them up. Has Praise For Captain Charges of negligence on the part of the master of the Vestris, voiced by other passengers landed yester- day, found no confirmation from Mrs. Slaughter. “So tar as I know.” she said, “theres was no suth thing as crim- inal negligence. The captain did his duty and did his best.” She added that she did not know whether it would have been better to send out the SOS. earlier than it was broadcast. As to a charge made by other pas- sengers that members of the crew had rushed the lifeboats, Mrs. Slaughter said: “I wouldn't blame the crew. After all, T was'in a pretty excited state | just before I went down with the ship, and don't know what they were doing, except they could not find to cut loose the in, which was Mr. and Mrs. Slaughter said that although their last address was Chi- cago, they had no permanent ad- dress in the United States.

The first body was brought to this city early yesterday on the rescue ship Berlin, while last night eight bodies were brought by the coast &uard destroyers Tucker and Acush- net. The coast guard destroyer Shaw left the scene of the wreck for New York with 13 bodies, Many Not Identified Many of the dead had not been identified today, the clothing of the victims being devoid of identitying marks. Among the bodies aboard the Shaw were those of Major Yashio Inouye, Japanese consul at Buenos Aires, whose wife was rescued by the battleship Wyoming; Carl Franke, representative of a German firm, and his 22-year-old daughter, Ingeborg. Of the four bodies brought by the Tucker only two were identified. Brass tags worn about their necks identified one as that Jose Gonzales Rua of New Bedford, Mass., and the other as that of Raymond Garcia Pelal of New York. Son Also Ic Lost Rua, who had sailed with his wife and two-year-old son, had $7.800 in his pockets when found. His wife was rescued by the Wyoming, but no trace of the son was found. The two other bodies were those of a negro woman and a white man, apparently a member of the crew. Aboard the Acushnet were the bodies of Ralph P. Whitehead, of N. Y, and Tom Jones, barman of the Vestris. The identity of the other two was not known. The body brought back by the Berlin was that of a white man who was not identified.

With BABY WITH TAIL 10 BE OPERATED UPON Mother Woa't Let Father Raise Child to Be Exhibited As “Human Freak' Knoxville, Tenn.,, Nov. 15 (UP)— The horror-stricken 17-year-ald mother of a baby born with a tail fled today from her 21-year-oid ! husband. She said he wishes the baby to grow to womanhood and be exhibited as a human freak. When born three weeks ago in & local hospital the baby had a tail seven inches long. In the three weeks the tail has grown half an | inch. Dr. Horace Brown, syrgeon here, said he expects to operate tomor- row. He will gend the tail to Dr. Adolph Schultz professor of physi- cal anthropology in Johns Hopkins, who is associated with the Carnegie | Institution of Washington. Schultz asked several days ago that the tail be sent him for study, as only 25 tailed persons are known to medical science. When the baby was born the father showed unusual interest. The mother, however, was not made aware of the tail for several days. After its presence became known to her the father, she asserts, boast- ed that the baby would make a prize exhibit for shows. This morning the mother clasped the baby in her arms and hurried to her mother more than g mile | away. “This is my baby,” she declared, tears streaming down her face. “I am going to have this horrible tail removed, I hope I never see my husband again. X-ray pictures of the tail show that it has wo bones and Is not directly connected with the spinal column. Physicians think the op- eration will not be serious. FIRE DEPT.

The Dead The dead are: Arthur W. Hardsety, 24, son of Mrs. J. W. Howard Lebanon Junc- | tion, Ky.; Niceforo Villereal, 29, son | of Mrs. Virginia Villereal, Puanta Coghabainba, Bolivia; Carl W.

Cayse of the plane's breakup re- mained undetermined today as an army investigation board, summon- ed yesterday by Major 8. W. Fitz- gerald, Brooks' field commandant, continued its inquiry. The accident was the worst air fa- tality in several years at the train- ing schoel. Wing Snaps Eye witnesses of the breakup said the right wing of the huge ship sud- denly tore loose, carrying the 1| piece with it. The ship faltered mo- | mentarily, dropped into a tailspin and with the wind &creaming through its fusejage fell like a stone. Had the transpert been equipped with false bottom re many trans- | ports, ofticers said the victims might | have dropped out and descended | with their parachutes. The plane had been up several | times during the day on the regular | fiving schedule to give enlisted per- sonnel of the field a chance to get in | time in the air. The dead privates | velunteered to make the fatal flight when non-commissioned officers schedyled to go up obtained permis- sion to remain on the ground o as to attend a service football game.
