Dead in Los Angeles

Los Angeles. Oct. 27-"Smiiing"
Bill Parsons, known as the million
dollar movie comedian" Is dead. He
died recently at his home here, at
tended by his diminutive wife.
known professionally as Billie
Rhodes.
Not more than five years ago
William Parsons was familiar fg-
ure in and around Chicago. He was
an insurance man. and his genial
countenance. his 235 pounds of hap
py energy and his ready wit earned
him considerable POPULARITY.
But he was keen for pleasure.
The insurance business was too So
ber and serious. Somebody suggest
ed that he was a likely successor to
the late John Bunny. and he medi-
tated over the idea. Soon he left
for Los Angeles and began spread
ing happiness through q series OF
brief comedies. Before long his
success was so marked that he
gained the sobriquet OF the million
dollar comedian"
Parsons carried his joviality
through his every day life. During
the war he introduced the idea of
tipping with thrift stamps. Learn
to save" was his invariable re-
mark when he gave a gratuity of
this sort to a waiter.
The present Mrs. Parsons was the
comedians second wife. Parsons
was born in Middletown. N. Y. and
was t1 years old.

Second. the sons Of America have
returned with a clearer and enlarged
idea and dominating influence of o
new power in the world--that Of hu-

nations Of peoples of the world have
been brought together. not by = the

AUTO THEFT TO BE
FEDERAL OFFENSE
Dyer Bill Now in Congress Would
Deter Crooks.
(8Y GEORGE II. MANNiNG.)

Washington, d. c., Sept. 22.-The
Dyer bill to make it a federal offense
to steal an automobile and carry it to
another state. is declared by the house
of representatives committee on the ju-
dietary. which reported it favorably to-
day, to be one of the most important
that should be enacted into law.
The bill provides a penalty of not
more than five years imprisonment and
a fine of not exceeding $4,000 for per-
sons found guilty of stealing an au-
tomobile or causing it to be stolen
and removed from one state to an
other.
The system now being carried on by
bands of automobile thieves who steal
associates in this crime who receive
carry them to another for sale, will be
stamped out under the heavy penal
ties in this bilb the judiciary commit
tee expects.
There has been and is now a most
widespread demand for such a law as
them" the judiciary committees re-
port to the house declares. state
laws upon the subject have been in
adequate to meet the evil. Thieves
steal automobiles in one state and
take them to another and often have
automobiles in this crime who receive
and sell the stolen machines.
The losses to the people of the Unit
ed States by reason of this stealing
amounts to hundreds of thousands Of
dollars every year. 1t is getting worse.
1t is getting so now that IL is diff
cult for the owners of the cheaper
cars to obtain theft insurance. due to
the great losses that insurance COM
panies have sustained. During the past
year automobile theft insurance of this
class of cars has increased one hun
pred per cent; 1t is automobiles of that
price that are generally stolen.
Referring to the actual number of
cars stolen the committees report
shows that Detroit heads the list in
this respect with 2,637 cars stolen in
1918; Chicago came second with 2,6l1,
st. Louis third with 2,241.
The total number stolen, of record,
in 1918, in the United States was 49,
