HAZEL DAWN AT
 WEST END, TODAY

Today, at both matinee and even ing performances, the West End the atre on State street, near Clinton ave- nue, presents Miss Hagen Dawn in a five act Paramount picture entitled My Lady Incog.''
 . Girl detectives are hard to play on the screen without making them seem too melodramatic. Therefore the per formance of Hazel Dawn in the Famous Players Film company's pro- duction, My Lady Incog,' in which this star appears is all the more re- markab1e for the thorough artistry displayed by her interpretation of Nell Carroll.
 My Lady Incog,'' is mystery film plus the touch of romance and the dash of comedy that make it by far the best production in which Miss Dawn has yet appeared on the screen
 Added feature: t'The Embodied Thought Lubin three part drama, and a comedy complete the program
 Tomorrow: Pauline Frederick in Hall Gaines immortal novel and play, E"The Eternal City, a Paramount special production in eight acts. Tel. 232S-13. Daily matinees 2:30 o'clock. Adv

.CRAPE0PHONEC co. EMPLOYES BACK
 IN GOOD ORDER
Four Men Who Posed As Union Martyrs Get Flock
 of Free Drinks.

Four employees of the American Graphophone Co. who reported late for work this morning decided to make aA half day of it outside. They visited saloons in the vicinity of the factory and in each place gave out a story that they had been discharged when they reported for work because they had taken part in organizing the protest meeting against working on Saturday. Linco1n's birthday.
 On the strength of their story the men collected a number of free drinks in West End saloons. Saloon keep CTS and bartenders sympathized with them in several places until a by stander remarked that it was strange if the men had been paid off that they bought no drinks.
 k Then the men left the place. In- cidentally one let drop the remark that they were waiting around for pay this afternoon which is the reg ular time for weekly payment in the factory.
 The story soon spread about the West End, however, that the leaders in the meeting held Friday noon had all been discharged and the story created much talk.
 Assistant Manager A H. Budlong to 8 Farmer reporter today denied that there was any truth in the story. We know of no meeting held Friday. No men have been discharged for taking partjin any meeting. A few men did not report for work this morning but the same thing happens almost every day. e
 One of the men, Henry Vo1k of Holland Heights, was finally located playing pool in Donainko & Markoja's s saloon at SIS Hancock avenue. At first he insisted that he had been told to stay out because of his having urg- ed others not to work on Saturday. Told of the statement of MT. Budlong he said:
 Well, yes; that's right. We were not fired. You see, when you come late to work you get docked an hour in your pay. We were late and O stayed out this morning.
 We just told that story for joke and to get some drinks and have some fun. am going to work this after noon because it is pay day and I guess the other fellows are, too.''
 Volk would not tell the names of his companions but said they all lived in the WestEnd and went home short Iy after getting all the free drinks they could.
 MT. Bud1ong said today that no ac- ton would be taken against any of the employees who remained out on Sat urday because the plant management had announced that only the regular pay would be given for work on Lin coln's holiday. Employees wanted double pay # they worked, on the ground that the company had agreed to give double pay for holidays. The company will not give double pay on Lincoln's birthday nor Washington's birthday, according to announce- ment.

Wounded Man Denies Knowing Man Who Shot
 Him; Police Skeptical

Investigation by the police today has failed to disclose the identity of the man who fired a shot into the back of Joseph TalIarico of 122 Fed eraI street, while the latter was on his way home late Saturday night.
 The police believe that TalIarico knows the name of the man that shot him but for some reason he will not divu1ge the name. The victim of the shooting works at a rag shop in East Washington avenue and it is the be- lief of the police authorities that the assa ut of Saturday night was the re- suit of an argument with a fellow emp1oye in the shop.
 I1Iario DeLucca, a roommate of Tallarice was present at the time of the shooting but he also professes ignorance of the identity of the man that attempted the murder. It is said at St. Vincent's hospital that TaIla- rico will recover.

 Hundreds of canaries will sing in their tiny cages so that the ear sa well the eye will be appealed to in creating the illusion of a tropical for est. These little birds have been specially selected because of their, singing qualities and will lift their sweet, slnriu voices above the noise of the crowds, furnishing music in the intervals between the nun1bers ren- dered by the Coast Ati11ery band. The show as usual is under the auspices of the Connecticut Coast Artillery corps.
