CAPITOL It is the consensus of opinion that ‘Warner Bros.' all-talking “On Trial” is the most thrilling melodrama scen here in many seasons, It is at the Capitol all this week. The scenes take place in a court room where a murder trial is in progress. All details of the grim proceedings are carefully included. The judge, the lawyers for the prosecution and the defense, court attendants, witnesses, the wife of the murdered man, the man ac- cused, with his wife and smail daughter, the doctor, the servants, and several hundred onlookers make the scene the rost startling- ly realistic ever screened. The play “On Trial” was one of the really big hits of several years ago, and with Vitaphone, which makes all the actors heard, giving also musical accompaniment, stri- dent or tender, according to the ehanging moods of the piece, last night's audience was held as it by magic. Vitaphone acts offer Eddie ‘White n I Thank You" and Ceballas Re- vue. Beginning Sunday the Capitol will offer Fanny Brice in “My Man” on the Vitaphone.

A messenger brought word to mariné headquarters that Private Kverett A. Rector had been killed in action by outlaws. He had no de- tails of the combat, which occurred northeast of Yali in the department of Jinotega. It was presumed that a marine patrol encountered the out- laws in the jungle far from a tele- graph line. Dr. Francisco Mairena, surgeon for the rebel forces of General Au- gustino Sandino, said in Honduras last week that the general was planning a big offensive in Nicara., gua. About the same time President Moncada of Nicaragua turned down a peace proposal from Sandino which urged that the northern de- partment of Nueva Begovia be sep- arated from Nicaragua and turned over to the rebel leader. After word of the most resent killing had been received the Nice araguan senate adopted & resojution declaring martial law in Jinotega, Nueva Segovia, Matagalpa and Es- teli. Depredationhs have been com- mitted recently on coffee plantations in the region. The resolution has yet to be passed by the chamber of | deputies. | Training of volunteers for serv- ice in the region was undertaken by | President Moncada, who has been {anxious that his people assume ad- ditional responsibility in ridding the country of marauders.

The story of the voting of the $24,000,000 yesterday included the usual clashes between wets and drys in the senate and off stage, apparent disagreement betwen leaders of dry organizations. Added to this was Secretary Mellon's opposition to the proposal. In the corsc of the senate debate, Bruce of Maryland, a wet, made the statement that the Apostle Paul gave his approval of liqguor for medicinal purposes. 3 “Whiskey can be bought by any senator for such 4 purpose,” observ- ed Senator Heflin of Alabama, & ary. “How docs the scnator know that?” was Bruce's counter. He chuckled over his sally, and so did some of the others. Bruce Responsible Although he voted against the in- crease yesterday, Bruce may have been in a measure responsible for it. When an appropriation bill was be- ing considered mome time ago, he put an amendment that would add $250,000,000 for liquor law enforce- ment. The senate was napping and the amendment went through, later to be removed in conference. The wets regarded it as a good joke, but some of thedrys said they believed more money was needed to help dry up the country. While the first deficiency bill- was being considered, Senator Harris, of Georgia, a dry, proposed an amend- ment that $25,000,000 be added for prohibition enforcement. The $24,- 000,000 voted yesterday was the out- come of this, the roll call being 50 for and 27 against the proposal. The president was given broad powers for the disposal of the $24,- 000,000, He must distribute it to gov- ernment departments concerned with prohibition enforcement, but he may spend all, or only a part of it, as he sees fit. The money would be avail- able until June 30, 1930, Even after the $24,000,000 had | been added to the deficlency blll, dry | leaders continued to issue statements about the differences of opinion that had arisen among them regarding it. | Denies Friction F. Scott McBride, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, denied friction existed in Anti-S8aloon league chircles over the appropriation. Mec- Bride had appioved Secretary Mel- lon's stand against the Harris amendment. . Earlier in the day, however, Dr. A. H. Briggs, superintendent of the California Anti-Saloon league, had declared in a statement that McBride was “attempting the impossible” in trying to carry the work of legis- lative representative. Dr. Briggs took issue with Secretary Mellon's | stand on the amendment, declaring | “short of funds in the face of the foe, the secretary does not see how he could use more ammunition it he had it.” Dr. Briggs suggested that Edwin | C. Dinwiddie of Washington, who preceded the late Wayne B. Wheeler, and Mr. McBride as legislative | representative would make a good man for that post, saying that the league's business at the capitol was neglected. McBride in asserting there was no friction in the ranks said: *“Several men have been misquoted, I am }xm'fl" He added that he regarded | i Dr. Briges as one of his best friends | and laughed at the suggestion that MNr. Dinwiddie would be named to |HAVE COLOR IN CHEEKS If your skin is yellow—complexion pallid—tongue coated—appetite poor —you have a bad taste in your mouth—a lazy, no-good feeling—you should take Olive Tablets.

Barton, chairman of the pational executive committee of the anti-saloon league, said the “apparent difference in judgement” was ‘not strange among men o strong personalities and convictions. “He said he did not think there was any row in the anti-saloon league.” Previously three prominent dry leaders, Bishop James Cannon,Jr., Eugene L. Crawford, Secretary of [the board of temperanee and social service of the Methodist Episcopal | Church, south, and Bisliop Thomas Nicholson, president of the anti-sa- loon league, had urged Secretary Mellon to reconsider his attitude on the Harris amendment. McBride at first said he favored | the proposal for additional funds for enforcement but he changed his stand after Secretary Mellon made his views known. Barton's Statement Atlanta, Jan. 23 (®—Dr. J. Barton, chairman of the natio cxecytive committee of the Anti Baloon league, in a statement said the apparent ‘difference in judg- ment"” between high officials of the league over a proposal to increase the appropriation for prohibition en- forcement *is not strange among men of strong personalitics and con- victions." He added that it “will not any way effect the activities of the league.” “I do not think there is any ‘row’ among the league officials or that there is likely to be a he said.” Dr. Barton expresss the belief that larger appropriations are need- ed but said he is willing to leave the decision of the amount to congress and other responsible government officials. Arthur McBride Talks Des Moines, Jan. 23 (P—Denial that friction over the $24,000,000 ad- ditional prohibition appropriation measure, passed by the senate today, existed in the Anti-Saloon league was made here last night by 1% Scott McBride, general superintendent. McBride said ho expects to @pn- tinue as ruperintendent and legisla- tive representative, and added: “There {8 no trouble in the league. Several men have been misquoted, T am sure.” He also said he regards Dr. A. H.
