PARDONED MURDERED OF
FORMER UNITED STATES
SENATOR FOUND SLAIN

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 80. The body
of Robin J, Cooper, who was convict
ed Of the murder of United States SEN
ator Edward Ward Carmack here in
1908 and later was pardoned, was
found today in Richmond Creek, near
Nashville
Cooper evidently had been murdered.
His skull was crushed. His automobile,
was found earlier, short distance
from the spot where the body lay,
showed evidences of struggle. Its
cushions were stained with blood.
Cooper was last seen alive last Thurs
day night. He left his home here ut
that time in his automobile. A strang,
er, the police say, accompanied him.
1t has been established that Cooper
drew $4,000 from a bank the day Ire
started his death ride in his car. The
police are working on theory that
he was in some way the victim of a
blaclmail plot.

IRISH DELEGATES IN
ANTE[EACUE RANKS.
Walsh And Cohalan Urge Sen
ate To Refuse Approval
To Covenant.

Washington, Sept. l.--Before an en-
thusiastic audience of several hundred
that packed the senate foreign rela-
tions committee room TO suffocation,
representatives of the Irish independ-
ence movement today urged the com
mittee to reject and destroy the peace
treaty utterly, as "dishonest docu-
ment that no amount of amending can
make honest" The audience frequent
ly applauded.
Voicing, they claimed, the senti-
ments of more than 20,000,000 Ameri
cans of irish descent, Justice Cohalan
Of the New York supreme court, Frank
P. Walsh former governor of Illinois
and Michael j. Ryan Of Philadelphia
members of the American commission
on Irish independence that went to
the peace conference and to Ireland,
made two-fold appeal to the com
mittee. They urged rejection Of the
treaty as menace to American SOW
ereignty and commercial independence
and also as barrier to the indepen-
dence of small nations like ireland.
They declared the Irish are united for
republic; that though 'tthey would
sink ireland to the depths" rather
than hurt the interests of the United
States Americans Of Irish blood are one
with their brethren in Ireland in will
ingness 10 fight to the death, il need
be, for Irish freedom.
The committee voted to give Ire
land 3 cause all the time needed Af
ter u three hour session a brief recess
was taken.

TRIED TO MAKE HER
HUSBAND JEALOUS
THEN THE CRASH

There isn't much new under the
sun and the things that are shown
and talked about in Tangled
Threads" the big Mutual feature
which will be one of the attractions
at the Colonial today and tomorrow,
may seem like 'old stuff" but it isn't.
Not a bit of it.
Bessie Barriscale appears in this
production and that is a pretty good
sort of a guarantee that the photo
drama will be right up to the min
ute. John Rutherford Wayne had a
lovely wife and a beautiful child.
Yet he preferred to be off where the
jazz was the loudest and the cock
tails had the biggest kick. 1t was
then that wife determined to do
things. She thought it would be
great to make John Rutherford
jealous and to have the green-eyed
monster on her side. When her foot
slipped, there developed a rapid Sc
quence of new situation that keep
you guessing and give you thrills
until a smashing climax provides a
solution to what appears to be a
condition beyond hope.
filled with punches. Things start
moving just as soon as the first pic
ture is flashed on the screen and from
then on there is no let-up. Bessie
Barriscale has never been better than
she is in this play. Not only does
she act in grand style. but she wears
some gowns that will make the
women gasp.
Another big picture is also on the
mid-week program at the theatre.
1t is Code of the Yukon" a Select
production in which Mitchell Lewis
who has already created most favor
able comment in Augusta is seen to
most excellent advantage.
Mr.. Lewis has the role of Jean
Dubois, a French Canadian prospec-
tor who for number of years has
been living in the lonely Northwoods,
seeking gold. His main object in
life is to discover the man who
wronged his sister and to make him
pay. Suddenly the peace of the
Northwoods is broken by a gang Of
gold seekers who have heard of the
find that Jean has made, through
Faro" Telford. a renegade gambler
whom Jean befriended when he
found him hurt in the woods and in
need of aid.
Jean is forced out of his quiet ex-
istence and is unwillingly dragged
into the life of the mining camp.
He meets the daughter of poor
prospector, whom he later marries
upon the death of her father. But
jeans wife does not remain happy
with him for long.
A gang of mining crooks infest
the village. They try to steal jeans
mine and they persuade Jeans wife
to run away with one of the me,nbe:s
of their gang. Cregan, a promt ter
of vice in all it's forms, is leader of
the gang. Jean later finds out that
Cregan is the man who wronged his
sister. Cregan and Jean finally meet
to fight for the wrongdoing of the
dead girl. Jean is about to kill Cregap
when Higher Power takes things
into His own hands and Cregan is
killed by lightning. Jeans wife re-
turns to him. He forgives her an
they are once again made happy.

gram is taken up with Hiking After

facts.-Adv.
