Investigation


Two women, one of them widely known
and the other shrouded in mystery, today
became dominant figures in the case of
Count James Minotto. whose alleged Ger

the United States Government. The woman
of mystery, whose Identity is known only
to Federal agents, is expected TO appear to
testify against the count at a hearing to-
day before Inspector c. II. Paul, of the
immigration Bureau She is said to have
been found in Chicago.
The second woman is Mime. Joseph Call
laux, wife of the former French Premier,
with whom Count Mnotto is alleged to
have been intimate in Buenos Aires. Count

Madame CaillauX. but declares that he met
her in a social way only and that it was
"just an ordinary acquaintanceship."
New evidence in the hands of Federal
agents, It is declared, will prolong the hear
ings being held here and delay the for

Wheat Crop To Be Sci e.-
za' by Government
Conse, yaI::en and just Prices
Sought By Food Ada'iiniis.
f:a.srs.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The food
Administration announced tonight
its plan for controlling wheat, flour
and bread, revealing that the gov
eminent is prepared to take over
the whole 1917 harvest if necessary
to conserve the supply, obtain just
prices for Americas fighting forces
and their allies and reduce costs to
the general public in the United
States.
Establishing of. buying agencies at
all the principal terminals, licensing
of elevators and mills, fixing of a
price considered fair, regulation of
the middleman and of grain ex-
changes, with the elimination of
trading in futures, are the chief fea-
lures of the plan. The licensing will
begin September 1.
The minimum price of 81 for
wheat fixed by Congress does not
become effective until next year,
but the administration proposes to
exercise very thorough control
over this years crop through powers
conferred under the food and export
control bills. *

ARCADE TONIGHT

"Jane and Katherine Lee"
''Nuff Sed!'
Instinctively you smile on hearing
those magic names Of the Fox Baby
Grands. You Immediately see the
uproarious capers of the impish
Jane, the solemn humor of the more
sedate Katherine. They make an in
comparable pair as ali film fans
! know.
Thousands have seen and loved
these youngsters as they played
their little bits in many William Fox
+, features.
Now they are appearing in a pic
ture all their own. 1t is 1.-TWO Little
Imps."
Of course some grown-ups also
appear in the picture but they are
necessary evils, the pawns moved
back and forth across the board ac-
cording to the whims of the little
players.
Recall all the laughs Jane and
Katherine have given you by their
monket shines in countless Fox fea-
lures. Recall, too, that the young
sters were just little bright spots in
those pictures. Then just imagine a
five reel picture cramped full Of the
Of
with a fine dramatic theme running
throughout and you have an ideal of
the treat before you see- them.
1t is a comedy with the best little
comedy player on earth, Jane Lee.
1t is a drama with the most finish
ed little actress on stage or screen
Katherine Lee.
1.-TWO Little Imps," is destined to
bring down every house in which it
is shown. It will convulse every man,
woman and child who sees it with
the best laugh of their life.
While most film fans are divided
as to their favorite players, everyone
is a Lee Kid fan; everyone loves and
adores those Fox Baby Grands.
1.-TWO Little Imps" was directed
by Kenean Buel, producer Of many
Fox successes. In making film with
the Lee children he fulfills the am
bition of his career And no man is
better fitted, professionally or
temperamentally, to direct these
child marvels than he.

"All work and no play makes
Jack dull boy" is the most abused
rule of conduct we have. In this
time of war and high prices, too
much play will make Jack very
poor and sorry creature. We do not
have the time to play now that we
used to have. The main reason for
this, is not the war altogether, but
it is because we have probably play
ed too much and we find it hard to
quit. Some people never play, and
manage to get along very well in
health and otherwise.
