New York, April 12.-Tempted by
the biggest salary ever offered any
body to appear in a single photo-play,
Detective William J. Burns, America s
famous sleuth, has become a hero of
moving pictures. Not for long, how
ever. He will be seen just once, in a
thrilling melodrama, wherein the de-
tective, just as in real life, runs down
the horrible villains and brings them
to a wretched end.
The play. in which are shown all the
latest methods of capturing criminals,
is very complicated. Burns is seen
using finger print identification and
traps his victims with the dictogra phi
The play was produced in a southern
state in New York, in Washington, on
an ocean liner, and on a New Jersey
railroad of which an entire branch was
leased for the purpose.

HAUNTED HOUSE BURNS
TownSmen Wouldn't
Ring i'm Fire Alarm.

Chisholm, Mimi, April 12.-Super-
stitious persons believing the Fontana
residence here to be haunted, are
thought to have set fire to the dwell
ing last night. The structure was de-
stroyed The Fontanta home was the
scene of the murder of Mrs. John
Fontana by her husband a week ago.
Fontana then drowned himself in the
cellar. Since the murder and suicide,
no person has ventured inside the
dwelling. Children who have played
in the street in front have moved to
other open places. Foreigners, be-
lieving the house haunted walked
around it on the other side of the
street. When fire was discovered, no
one rang in an alarm SO that when

ern detective, and the daring and,
later, desperate efforts of the criminals
in their efforts to escape. Burns pro-
ceeds upon the principle that every
criminal leaves a track which may be
traced. There are no mysteries and a
failure to obtain results indicates that
the matter has not been properly or
thoroughly investigated
The story of the play concerns a poor
man, who invests his small savings in
lands falsely represented by a big, bad
company. His congressman finds out
about the resultant fraud and loss to
the investor. attempts to thresh the
matter out in congress, finds the COM
pany whitewashed in a committee
by lobbyists, and finally en-
ploys Burns in a successful effort to
bring the grafters to justice and the
poor investor to restitution.

representatives in session is modestly
termed by the producers the greatest
achievement ever made in photo-p play
production. AS there was no studio
stage in existence which would permit
the construction of such a setting, the
producer sent scenic artists and car
penters to Washington so that they
might make accurate sketches and
plans of the chamber and then repro
duce the desired portion on a special
outdoor stage.
