Mayor Bryan Determined to
Break up the Gang of
Bootleggers.

Quite a little sensation was
caused IN the city last Friday
morning when Burns Detectives,
together with Mayor Bryan,
appeared at the Court House and
had warrants sworn out for the
arrest of Charles Hawkes., John
Scantland, A. Anderson and
Anil Scantland, charging them
with selling Intoxicating liquors
illegally.
For some time, it has been
learned, detectives from the
noted Burns agency have been
working in the city under the
direction of Mayor Bryan and
the arrests last Friday morning
is the result of their work. All
four of the defendants were
brought before Municipal Judge
George A. Calder last Friday
where they plead not guilty and
were bound over to the Circuit
Court to await trial. Anil and
John Scantland were released on
500 bonds while A. Anderson
and Charles Hawkes. were UNI
able to furnish bonds and were
confined to the County Jail.
For some time there has been
complaint that there was blind
plugging in the city and Mayor
Bryan became determined to
break up the gang with the re-
suit that the detectives were
brought here. We understand
that the Mayor will not cease his
work until the illegal selling of
liquor has been stopped.
For the past two elections the
people of Washburn have voted
dry" and we are indeed glad to
see that an effort is being made
to keep the sale of intoxicating
liquors from the city. Mayor
Bryan has the backing Of the
best people of the city in his
efforts to clean up the city and
we hope he succeeds.

Down in the town of Mason
there is a sad home, caused by
the death of two. mem bers of
the family during the past week.
The home is that of Mrs. Swan
Peterson.
Undertaken Amos M. Hans en-
was called to Mason last Frid ay
afternoon by q telep hone
message announcing thata body
had been found near Long Lake
three miles from Delta. The
body proved to that Frank
Peterson, age 35. Peterson had
left home Sunday August 18th,
on hunting expedition. When
he failed to return after a week
search was made for him. The
body was found Friday, Peter.
son had accidentally shot him
self. It is supposed that as he
attempted to sit down upon
stamp the gun was accidentally
discharged, the bullet blowing
the top of his head off.
As Undertaken Hansen was
bringing the body to the Peter
son home Swan @. Peterson,
the father, whose age was rs
years, suddenly dropped dead,
death having been caused by
heart failure. 1t is thought
that grief caused the death of
Mr.. Peterson.
| The body of the younger
Peterson was buried at Benoit
Saturday night and the funeral
of the elder Peterson was held
Monday afternoon. Rev.
Yderstad of Mason had charge
of the funeral services.

Charles s. Arnett. twenty-five years
old, was sentenced today by Chief JUS
tice Covington in the criminal division
of the District Supreme Court to serve
two years in the penitentiary follow
ing bis conviction of a charge of joy
riding. The chief justice read lee
ture to the young man on the vicious
ness displayed by persons who take
automobiles and so recklessly operate
them as to damage the machine.

cessity of persons of moderate means
to have automobiles, not as luxuries,
but in connection with their business.
These machines must be left on the
streets frequently, the court stated,
and their owners were entitled to have
them left undisturbed.
Arnett was charged with taking a
machine belonging to John w. Brawner
October 25 last and ditching it near

stripped of it's tires and accessories, it
was testified. There were two other
indictments pending against him.

While the supply of fish on sale at

to San Francisco via Panama, the vir-
ginia senators have notified Secretary
Daniels that they will insist that the
law which calls for that feature be
executed.
The failure of more than two Eu-
ropean countries, Spain and Portugal,
to designate naval vessels to partici-
pate in the celebration of the opening
of the Panama canal had led the naval
officials to consider the feasibility of
making good what promises to be
great deficiency in the foreign repre-
sentation in the naval cruise by max
ing special efforts to induce the South
and Central American republics to
send their ships to take part. To re-
duce expense of the cruise to these re-
publics, it has been proposed to start
the American fleet from Guantanamo
and to have the foreign ships join the
feet at Colon, thus avoiding the double
passage along the perilous Hatteras era $
that the Firginians object, on the
ground that the law requires the fleets
to be assembled in Hampton roads.

,HAVE DARK HAIR
and LOOK YOUNG
Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can
Tell When You Darken
Gray, Faded Hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair
beautifully darkened, glossy and
abundant with brew OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur. Whenever her hair
fell out or took on that dull. faded
or streaked appearance, this SIM
pie mixture was applied with Won
derful effect. By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get
large bottle of this old-time
recipe, ready to use, for about so,
cents. This simple mixture can be
depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair and
is splendid for dandruff, dry,
itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well known downtown drug
gist says everybody uses Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur. because it
darksns so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been
appiied-it's so easy to use. too.
You simply dampen a comb or
soft brush and draw it through
your hair, taking one strand at
time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another applica-
( tion or two, it is restored to it's
( natural color and looks glossy,
( soft and abundant.

Women Mistaken for Troops.

From the London Chronicle.
Women played a useful part when the
French landed at Fishguard Accord
ing to narrative published by the
farmer who first witnessed the French
frigates on their approach, the yeo-
marry mustered by Lord Cawdor were
followed by several hundred women
dressed in the national costume-red
mantles, and mems beaver hats, who
ran up hill commanding a view of the
French camp. and there stood. watch
ing the result. One of the gentlemen
present, struck by their resemblance
to a body of soldiers, requested they
would descend the front of the slope
in close order, and. disappearing at the
bottom, reascend in the same manner,
and show themselves at the summit.
THE stratagem had all the success
as anticipated. Gen. Tate. knowing
that scarlet was the British uniform,
but unable to discriminate whether it
was worn by men or women, concluded
that large reinforcements had arrived.
When the French had given up
their arms, the women ran down the
hill, and, crowding around their crest
fallen invaders. assailed them with
shouts of laughter"

|NMOV|NG PICTURE
Washington School Children to
Witness Exhibition as Guests
of The Star.
5000 FEET OF FILM USED
IN PRESENTING SUBJECT
Opening Entertainment at the Co.
lumbia Theater Tomorrow Morning.
Many Seats Being Reserved.

The most ambitious moving picture
yet produced In America will have its
opening tomorrow morning, when the
public school children of Washington
gather at the Columbia Theater as the
guests of The Star to see the big
Henry w. Savage production, Uncle
sam at Work"
1t is particularly fitting that this pic
ture should open it's career in the cap
ital, the seat of the government it
describes, and that its first spectators
should be the children of the schools.
Great as is the patriotic appeal to
children the picture is primarily for
grown-ups, and is of peculiar interest
to the people of Washington, so many
of whom are concerned in the very ac-
tivities it depicts. The interest is al
ready manifested by the formation of
parties in many of the departments
and bureaus to attend the exhibition
Among the first orders received was
one for seventy seats to accommodate
party of the employees of the bureau
of standards. This was followed by re-
quests for three separate parties from
the bureau of engraving and printing.
Schools Reserving Seats.
Interest has been manifested among
the higher schools and Fairmont
Seminary made the first inquiry for a
block of seats to permit its students
in a body to see the picture. The man
agement is endeavoring in every pos
sihle way to accommodate all such
parties with seats in blocks, so that
there may be no separation inside the
theater Whenever an order is re-
ceived sufficiently early, this can be ar
ranged. There is already a manifest
interest among department people to
see if they have been caught by the
camera Almost any citizen of WASH
ington who sees this picture has a
chance of seeing himself walk out
across the screen
The first view of the picture will be
given at the two exhibitions Saturday
morning. when the public school chill
dren will see 1t as the guests OF The
Evening Star. The first Will be at y
o'clock and the second at 1l:30 o CLOCK.
Sunday afternoon there Will be a
special showing for the members OF
the National Press Club and their
families a private performance given
by Mr. Savage, to which the pubic
will not be admitted.
The regular run of the picture pc
gins Monday, and will continue all
through the week. with matinee and
evening exhibitions every day, with
the exception that there Will be no
matinee Tuesday.
