Villain on Poster
Had Girl by Throat;
Keenan, Tried Rescue

Thomas Keenan, was hero until
he awokc in jail yesterday morning.
Thomas denies that he is related
to Frank Keenan,, Idol of movie fol
lowers. Yet the gallantry that Frank
displays on the screen is no greater
than that Thomas displayed Satur-
day night at the Rialto.
Thomas, according to the police,
was three sheets in the wind.
As he swayed alone Douglas street
IN front of the Rialto he glanced at
a poster. 1t was poster, sure
enough, but it didn't look like one to
Thomas. On it was depicted death
struggle between a man and a maid.
The william. for it was he, on the
poster, was clutching the maiden by
the throat. Terror blazed from the
sirps eyes.
Thomas thought it funny the po-
lice didn't interfere. He tried to
balance himself on his feet and then
with mighty blow struck out at
the william.
Thomas hand was badly cut by
the glass protecting the poster He
was arrested and charged with
drunkenness and malicious destruc-
ton of property.

Police Called to
Catch Prowlers at
Telephone Building

Two Shocking characters
were seen proving about the Ne
braska Telephone Luilding at Nine
teenth and. Douglas streets about
midnight Satuday.
They carefully eyed each passerby
and viewed the building from all
angles and points along Douglas and
Nineteenth streets.
Carl Zich.. night manager of the
Blackstone garage, No. 2, was watch
ing them
When they appeared again and
began their proving he decided to
call the police. While he was max
ing up his mind a high powered tour
ing car pulled up to the curb. The
curtains were drawn. A man thrust
his head out and called. The prowl-
ers hurried over to the car and after
few seconds hurried back again to
the Douglas street door of the build
ing The car pulled away quickly
but quietly.
Carl seized the telephone.
Four detectives were sent flying
from Central station in one Of the
new emergency cars. They sur
rounded the building and trapped the
two providers in the doorway.
They were the new night watch
men and had decided it was safer to
travel in pairs than singly.

probably that she would at once dis
cover the mechanism OF that secret
drawer. But | was doomed to dis
appointment, for after she had scru-
trized it from every angle some
minutes she spread her hands with
an expires sive gesture of finality.
We'll, there's one good job done"
she said, turning away. so far, so

Mr. Stolkbridge renews the permits

and what are the directions he gives
you, You say you couldn't work
with the others. There is a posi-
bllty, slight one, mind but still
existing--that he purposely misled
you, that he never expected you to
find the drawer.
I'm the second place." she drew
down the corners of her mouth with
a rueful expression "In the event
that Mr.. Stockbridge refuses permits

selves, | am afraid | shall have to

A Surprising Interruption.

"A surprising interruption.
There is no other person in the
world who affects me in such con-
Trajectory fashion as does Allen
Drake. He has the faculty of arous-
ing in me furious resentment by his
lordly attitude toward feminine in
tolligence in general and mine in
particular-or so | fancy when | am
with him. And then. with a most
unexpected little turn of his mood
he proves himself the gentlest. most
considerate of cavaliers, lavishing all
his wonderful skill and experience
in my service. At one moment
am sure I detest him thoroughly.
The next | am forced to wondering,
remorseful admiration and liking for
him.
"But finding that secret drawer is
q problem of some weeks to come,
not for now" Lillian went on, ex-
actly as if her remark concerning
Allen Drake. and my ejaculation had
never been spoken. II suppose you
are wondering" she went on, "why
the urgency of getting the desk here
if we didn't intend to try to open it,
That's simply because / don't
want it around where Mr.. Stock
bridges enemies can get hold Of it.
They may not be strong on secret
mechanism, but they're probably
sharks with axes, and that would be
about the first thing that would oc
cur to them, to smash the thing to
pieces, always provided they had re-
ceived hint that something might
be concealed within it. And with
those telephone girls and their
knowledge-the devil alone knows
how much they've heard-in the Of
fng, it's dangerous to leave any
thing like this in any place that's
known.
But I think, my dear, that we've
successfully turned the trick, and
the desk can stand here for weeks
to come whether we're here or not,
without fear Of discovery. So now.
suppose we forget all about it, and
turn our attention to the kind OF
clothes we'll need out at the east end
OF the island"
turned to her with laughing pro-
test, underneath which lay stratum
of truth.
"Your brain works so fast il daz-
zles me-" I said. you'll have to
give me time to bring my scattered
faculties together. This jump from
secret mechanisms in desks to,
clothes is too much for me-" :.
whats the melodrama?" drawled
picky's voice at the door. Secret
mechanisms in desks? This sounds
interesting. Do you refer to this
very prosaic piece of furniture which
evidently has been moved in since |
left aiew hours ago."

BIG FEATHERWE|GHT SCRAP
At LOTOS CLUB TOMORROW

Another victory for Willie Curry,
of Staten Island, when he meets Kid
Potty, of this city, tomorrow night in
the main eight-round attraction at
the Lotos Club bouts will end any
doubt as to who Is the better man as
Curry has once before outpointed
Potty in q thrilling twenty-four-min-
ute scrap staged in this city. A
comeback by Potty, however, which
is not at all unlikely, would give him
just as much claim to the feather
weight championship in this vicinity
as the boy from the island. The two
men must weigh under 12S pounds
for this battle and there is no doubt
but hal every second of the fight
will be full of action.
{ The Curry-Potty fight here a cou-
pie of months G was generally
agreed upon by those who witnessed
1t to be the fastest bout ever staged
at the Jotos Club as both men are
willing to mix matters and each Is
anxious to put over a decisive kayo

our athletics, which, as you know, is
a very essential part in fitting a man

\ The six-round semi-fnal scrap
promises to result in plenty of action

men have fought here before and
both r the possessors of a full
knowledge of the game and well able
to take punishment as well Is deliver
some hard blows.
Two or three four-round prelimi-
naries win also be staged prior to the
