THEATER TICKET
PRICE RAISED
Penny Shortage Is Cause for
Move, Say Managers,
GERMANS GIVEN BLAME
After Pennies for Face Value,
Says Picture Man,

German agents are responsible Tor
the present penny famine In the United
States. according 10 the opinion OF the
president of the Moving Picture Shows
association Of Chicago, and, In fact, the
United States department OF Justice 10
making Investigations along this line.
$500 Largest Anywhere.
An effort to obtain 10000 pennies,
which would exchange hands IN Chi
cago each day when the moving picture
houses began the collection OF the war
tax il developed that 500 worth OF
pennies was the largest amount held 1t
any mint in the United States. The
subtreasuries at Chicago could not fur
nish even $50 worth, The investigation
starte dat Chicago has revealed the
fact that there are no pennies to
amount 10 anything IN the United
States and the department Of justice Is
working on the theory that they have
been obtained by German agents be-
cause at their face value they were less
expensive than was copper at the pres
eft prices.
Theaters Raise Price.
Local theaters are raising their prices
slightly as a result OF the penny famine.
At the Empress, where prices were
formerly TO- IS and 20 cents the prices,
until pcnniers are obtained, will be IS
and 20 cents The burden OF tho war
ia xviii be carried by those who pay
IS cents to see a show which otherwise
could be seen for 10 cents.
Prices at the Liberty and Lyric thea
ters will be . cents plus war tax of
cent making the ticket sell at 10 cents
as hcretofer; tickets which formerly
sold at ~ cents will be raised 10 n
cents on which the war tan will be 3
cents, making the ticket sell for Is cents
and tickets which formerly sold at 80
cents will be raised TO 81 cents, on which
the war tax will be accents, making the
ticket sell at IS cents.
Penny Script Discussed.
This was the only way theater man
ayers said they coul solve the penny
situation though they discussed the Is.
Suance OF penny script This, however,
they contend would be unfair to visitors,
as they would not have an opportunity
TO redeem The SCRIPT when pennies again
become plentiful.
II W. Mccall manager Of the Liberty
thcater, said today that he had ever
thought Of offering a premium FOR pen
nieS, by paying one silver dollar and
one fiye-ccnt piece for 100 pennies He
estimates, however, that 500 900 pennies
would change hands in Oklahoma City
during a week at the theaters, and was
afraid that the premium would not re-
suit in enough pennies being 6stainsd
to solve the situation.
Stamps No, Feasible.
The managers OF the picture shows
even consulted with Claude Weaver.
postmaster, as to the advisability OF is
suing postage stamps in place Of pennies
but il was decided that this would noe
be feasible
The "newsboy" is losing much Of his
time now in the afternoons trying q
get change for a nickle In order 10 sell
his papers at the usual price.

PRISON GUARDS WORRIED
BY A VENTRILOQUIST

Leavenworth, KAMA ventrilo-
quist among the convicts of the Fed
eral prison here, who apparently has
at his command all the tricks of the
professional is causing the guards
to spend much time trying to evolve
plan for his detection and silence.
The large cell rooms are acoustic
ally Perfect for the exercise of the
convict's art. and nightly the guards
and inmates are aroused by walls of
distress, laughter, dog barks and
dialogues between a man and a wo-
man. which eventually end with a
fight.
So tar the practical joker is en-
joying his art undisturbed, but I'M
less the guards obtain results with
in a few days, they declared they
will offer a reward among the con-
vic;s for the disturber of their peace.

Mrs. Strine was housed in a hotel
in that city and kept guarded with
a large dog and one of the young
men to prevent her escape, it is said.
They stayed outside her door day
and night.
On various occasions money was
demanded of her, which she was
forced to pay at divers times until
all her available funds We're gone.
Once a day she was permitted to
leave the room on a little recrea-
ton, but always was guarded by
two men to keep her from commun-
icating with any one.
When she could no longer supply
the demands for money letters un-

AT LARGE MORE
THAN TEN YEARS
Modern Jean Vatican Returns to
PrisOn-Twice Nominated
to Minnesota Legislature

Austin, Minn.-For more than 10
years Wenzel Kabat, escaped con-
Wet, fought to rehabilitate himself
as william Coles" So successful
were his efforts that he twice OBJ
tanned nomination as candidate
for the State Legislature and held
the respect of this community.
Coles has become Kabat again,
and, in custody of police, is back in
the State Prison of Wisconsin, to
finish his life sentence as the con-
victed murderer years ago of G. Nc
Carthy, farmer.
According to the story Kabat told
police, he escaped from prison with
the aid of an automobile, which was
waiting for him outside the prison
walls, which he scaled.
Immediately. Kabat says, he be-
gan a search for Mccarthy, who, he
says, still lives. His search carried
him into Mexico, South America and
remote parts of the United States.
Unsuccessful, Kabat came to Aus
tin less than two years ago and es-
tablished a tailor shop.
Later he became employed in a
