COMMISSIONER Of
POLICE IS PLEASED

Commissioner of Police Frank R.
Pou, spending a great deal of his time
at the station yesterday, expressed
pleasure at the manner in which the
crowds had been handled, and said he
believed the work of the score of spe-
cial men had been done nicely. While
but three suspicious characters were
corralled in by them, in every case
the suspects were convicted or their
cash bonds had been forfeited, and
he said the revenue from these special
cases alone had paid the expenses of
the special men.
longtime citizens were engaged as
special officers and were especially
cautioned to mingle with the crowds
and look out for suspicious characters.
These specials were selected because
of their knowledge of men and their
wide acquaintance.

Bessie Love Seen as Blind Flower
Girl.
Bessie Love will be seen at the Isis
theater tomorrow in her new play,
nina, the Flower Girl" In this
drama, written especially for her by
Mary H. 0'Connor, editor Of the Tri-
angle-Fine Arts scenario department,
Miss Love has the part of a blind
girl, who makes artificial flowers to
exc out the scanty income of her
grandmother, who cares for her. As a
chum and protector she has Jimmie, a
crippled newsboy. The grandmother's
death leaves Jimmie the girls sole
protector until people of wealth take
her under their care and succeed in
having her sight restored. Her first
desire Is to see Jimmie. Through the
skill of other doctors he is presented
to her straight and strong, and she
never knows that he was otherwise.
Miss Love is said to give one of the
most appealing performances of her
screen career. The part of Jimmie is
taken by Elmer Clifton, remembered
for his recent appearance with Doro-
thy Gish In "The Little School
Ma'am," and with Sir Herbert Tree
in ''The Old Folks at Home"
Ella Han in 'The Bugler Of Algiers."
"The Bugler of Algiers," to be sx-
hibited in Bluebird photoplays at the
Isis theater on Friday, will present
Ella Hall, Rupert Julian, Kingsley
Benedict and little Zoe Rae in the
leading roles. Here is a remarkable
photoplay, appealing to loyalty and
love of the flag in scenes of inspir-
ing vigor and force. There is COM
bined with this patriotic sentiment a
story of great love and human devo-
ton that rings true and viii stir the
admiration Of every beholder. Wln
Hall plays the role Of a girl, left
alone when war calls her brother and
sweetheart to the colors. In all the
years that follow, she lives true to
her love, even though the report has
come that he has been killed in battle.
She lives to see her sweetheart deco
rated with the Legion of Honor, while
he represents her brother, who has
won this great tribute from his CRATE
full country. The brother has died
of exhaustion, marching to be dec
grated; and then the girl, now grown
to old age, goes with the sweetheart
of her life to lay upon the breast
of the dead hero the tribute that
came to him too late. Beautifully
told, beautifully pictured and superb

she would inherit a big fortune pro-

Lie nCLuDCIS VI Tile AOuSe O4 rep
resentatives believe that the attach
ing of the Reed amendment to the
Bankhead amendment in the post
office appropriation bill win result IN
the rejection by the house of the
Bankhead amendment to exclude
liquor advertisements and solicita-
tions from the mails in prohibition"
territory.
There was considerable doubt that
the house would agree to the Bank
head amendment to the postoffice bin
as it stood, but with the addition of
the Reed amendment to it, its adop-
ton by the house is considered al
most an impossibility.
It is the general belief about the
capitol that the Reed amendment was
added to the Bankhead amendment
for the purpose of making the prop
osition so vicious its acceptance by
the house would be out Of the ques-
ton. The fact that the vicious legis-
lation was proposed by Senator Reed
of Missouri, wet" man, is confirm
alton of the report that it was add
ed to the Bankhead bill to insure its
defeat.
The postoffice bill was passed by
the Senate on Friday and goes to con-
ference between the two houses to
iron out the differences in the bill as
passed by both bodies.'
The Reed amendment is the most
drastic "dry" legislation ever put be-
fore congress. 1t would make "dry'
territory absolutely dry by prohibit
ing it's shipment into the state. Many
prohibition states now have laws that
allow each person one quart week
or one quart a month for personal
use, but the Reed law would prevent
any liquor getting into those states
It reads as follows:
Whoever shall order. purchase OF
cause intoxicating liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce except
for scientific, sacramento, medicinal
or mechanical purposes, into any
state or territory the laws Of which
state Of territory prohibit the manu-
fscture or sale therein Of intoxica-
ing liquors for beverage purposes
shall be punished by a fine of mo-
more than $1,000, or imprisonment
Of not more than six months, or both
and for any subsequent offense shall
be imprisoned not more than one
year"
The Bankhead amendment wa
stricken out when It was reached II
the bill, by point of order. Senate
Jones then moved to suspend tn,
rules and offered the Jones amend
ment, which is identical with tn
Bankhead amendment. The motion
carried and the amendment was re
inserted in the bill. Senator Reed,
"wet" man, then offered his amend
men to the Bankhead amendment
and by a combined vote of dry an
wet men it carried and was retaine,
In the bill as finally passed.

shiftless habits, says the Detroit Free

"This running Of contraband cargo

his eyes met mine.

admit, captain, to be putting over a
trick for the other side" he answered,
his fingers nervously gripping the rail,
"but l shipped for this voyage fair
enough, and l always held 1t sailors

''That is the story as Miss Vera Car

The mate shook his head doubtfully,
his eyes wandering toward the men at
the wheel.
II wish I was so cocksure of that,
SIR" he said soberly. "There's some
mighty bad blood forward on this ship,
and it's my judgment we're not out of

wolves have got a scent Of McCann's
gold, and they'll never leave the trail
until they get It."

run her into an English port. They're
not ready yet but the devil will break
