HEIGHT BELLS" IN MOVIES
 HAS ITS FIRST SHOWING
Film Production Viewed by One of the
 Famous Brothers Byrne.
Says the Waterbury American:

Says the Waterbury American
 Though few persons knew it. John Byrne of the famous Brothers Byrne. who made the names Byrne and Eight Bells known the world over, was in this city last night. Few per- sons were aware, either, that John smiled. and then grinned from ear to ear. at something he saw while here. That something was a production of an Flight Bells" moving picture at Polls theatre. The production of last night was of the first releases sold and for time Brother John didn't know whether to take a chance and smile, or prepare to weep.
 The PoIi audience of last night was the jury. If they drowned meant more hard work for the Brothers Byrne. If they smiled it meant a few touches here and there; but if they roarcr-that meant success. And suc- cess it was as far as Waterbury is concerned. The old tumbles, falls, and false door and flood work, which made Flight Bells" a rough and ready stage classic made the film of last night a boisterous screamer. There wasn't one smile in it. It was one long roar. That was why John Byrne grinned.
 The picture was taken in Provi- dence, R. I. It is of good length and carries both land and sea views It is lively enough to knock even Chap lin audience out of their seats.

HEAVILY FINED FOR
 SHORT AUTO RIDE.
Fort Wright SoIdied Took Uninvited
 Ride in Stolen Machine.

A ride of less than ne-eighth of mile taken by Leo J. Wilson, a sol- dier stationed at Fort Wright, in stolen automobile Thursday evening, cost him fine cf $S5 and costs. when he appeared before Associate Judge Crandall in the New London police court Friday morning charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor.
 E Wilson was arrested on Masonic street about 9.30 o'clock Thursday evening after he had taken machine belonging to Edward E. Lathrop of Brooklyn, N. Y.. a summer resident at 495 Montauk avenue. The soldier gently returned from service on the Mexican H&rder.
 That he ve5ited several refreshment emporiums before appropriating MT. Lathrop's automobile was admitted in couU when he entered a plea of guilty | to the charge of intoxication. He had no explanation to make to Judge Crandall as to his reasons for taking the car.
 J. H. Conley, a conductor employed | by the New Haven road. saw Wilson | jump into the car while it was stand | ing in front of the Gager Crawford Co. in State street, near the corner of Main. Conley had previously seen the soldier trying several other ma chimes, which apparently were too complicated for him to operate. | According to the story furnished l the police, Wilson hopped into the Lathrop> machine and started on a zig | gag tour, around the corner of State and Main street and thence, to Ma sonic street. The car was driven very slowly, which fact permitted Conley to give chase on foot and he overlook | the machine in front of the Nameaug 1 fire station, where he ordered Wilson | to stop.
 The soldier obeyed and leaped from
 the machine, running into a yard in
 the vicinity, where he was later ar | rested by Patrolman McKenna, hid
 tng behind a clump of bushes. McKenna was notified by two wom-
 en who drove past him as he stood
 on the corner of State and Bank streets. The policeman ordered a. jit- | ney to proceed after the machine and 1 soon after Conley had overtaken the | car, McKenna was on the scene and
 Immediately started a hunt for the
 missing driver. The rays of the po- | iceman's searchIight fell upon the
 crouched figure of Wilson behind the
 bushes in one of the yards. He did
 not make any effort to escape once
 he was discovered.
 In presenting the case Acting Pros
 ecuting Attorney Cronin explained
 that the records at Fort Wright show
 Wilson record to be a good one. which
 fact he asked the court to take into
 consideration in passing judgment Besides meeting the fine and costs
 imposed by the court Wilson was or
 dered to stand the costs of necessary
 repairs on the machine after his ad- l venture.

DON'T FORGET REGULARS.
National Headquarters Sends Letters
 to All Chapters,

A letter sent to all chapters of the Red Cross hy national headquarters in Washington reminding the chapters not to forget in their enthusiasm for the needs of their respective national guardsmen that the regulars also have similar needs has been received by To- cal chapters.
 The point is emphasized in the let ter that the regulars have been on a hard campaign on actual Mexican soil for months, and in the border country for an even longer, period. While, of course, more seasoned than the guards men, these regulars have many needs in the way of comforts and accessories and they would deeply appreciate even a few remenbrances.
 Chapters are asked to provide boxes to be. sent to the regulars and their contents will be similar to those which go to the guardsmen.

CATARRH LEADS
 TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease as scrofula or rheumatism. It may be relieved, but it cannot be removed by simply local treatment. It breaks down the general health, weakens the lung tissues, and leads to consump. ton.
 Hoods Sarcaparilla Is so sue cessful in the treatment of catarrh that it is known as the best remedy for this disease. It purifies the blood. Ask your druggist for it.
