Another Remarkable Produc-
ton Announced by Smith St.
Film House Management

Is a woman temperamentally fitted
for service on a jury in a criminal
case? Does feminine intuition make
females better arbiters than men?
Will that intuition which women are
conceded to possess in high degree
prove a surer and safer guide than
mere masculine logic? What would
happen were a lone woman juror
holding out against the verdict of
eleven male co-jurors, to find herself
bullied, brow-beaten, harangued and
almost third-degreed?
Manifestly it was the clearest and
most convincing case. The boy was
guilty. There could be no doubt
by his employer and loudly proclaim
ed his Intention to get even? Had
he not bought a gun? Had he not
been found In his employers apart
ment, gun in hand as he stood over
the lifeless form? There was not "a
shadow of doubt as to the boys
guilt in the minds of any n of these
eleven men locked up for the night
In the juryroom, and yet there was
this lone, obstinate, self opinioned
girl juror, the first ever to serve on
the panel in New York, keeping them
in duress this Christmas eve when
wives and Riddles were waiting at
home.
The midnight hours drag on. A
telegram arriving for the girl juror
is admitted by the court. She reads
the contents and almost swoons. Re
covering, she addresses her fellow
jurors in a voice at first choked with
emotion and then more calm.
you believe this boy guilty. You
wonder at my obstinacy in holding
out against your verdict. 1t is clearly
a case of mere circumstantial evil
dence. I will tell you a true case Of
circumstantial evidence. 1t happened
to me. Then you will understand"
The startling story which Florence
Reed relates and which is picturized
wildly and convincingly in The
Woman Under Oath forms one of the
most thrilling human documents the
screen has ever shown. The climax
is tense and Is preceded by a tre-
mendous suspense. The denouement
comes with startling surprise and it
is not until the final scene of the
picture that the solution Is reached
a solution which convinces. and an
ending which satisfies.

WAY TO
COLLECT A BILL
Alleged Gunner As Aid to COL
leCtOrs, According TO
Railway Police
BIZ Special corrcsDondsnt.

RAILWAY, August 11-What
threatened to be one of the most
unique robberies in this county lost its
color today when it was learned who
were the principals in the theft of two
automobile buses together with their
chauffeurs early Sunday morning. The
J machines were owned by A. w. Foster
& Brother, and were used on the bus
line from Railway out to the Army
General hospital at Colonia
Driven by Reedy Stevens and Bert
Ryan the cars had just completed a
trip to the hospital gates with a crowd
of soldiers from this city at about IL
o'clock. AS the drivers left the hospi-
tai grounds a party of fourteen men.
seven in each group stopped the
buses.
Threatening the drivers with drawn
pistols the men entered each car and
told the chauffeurs to drive to New
York. Goaded on by pokes from the
muzzles of the guns the men obeyed.
Right past their own homes, past the
garage in which they expected to leave
the cars for the night, on through
Elizabeth, Newark and Jersey City,
the desperate men in the jitneys fore
ed the drivers. Almost all of the way
the two cars were kept in sight of
one another, but when they G
New York they separated. And then
it was that Stevens ran his car into
a fire hydrant hoping that a police
man would come to see what was the
matter and release him from the gun
men.
But instead of a policeman all
Stevens got was q round of curses.
With the gun still aimed at his vitals
he was forced out of the a and
then compelled to walk the block
while the car was repaired at q ga
rage. Round and round the block he
went with the gun behind him until
finally the a was fixed
In the meantime Ryan had reach
ed the point indicated by the gun
men and the car was stopped. There
he waited with the men until Stow
ems arrived, where the cars were
left. The pair were then escorted to
the Hudson tubes and told that they
would be watched until they were
out of New York City.
At about $3.50 o'clock Sunday
morning Foster received a call at his
garage from the men who were at
the Manhattan Railway station, Park
Place, Newark.

was the real solution evident. This
morning Sergeant James Thompson,
Of the Railway police, went into New
York to get the cars, w~ord@hav1ng

KEEPING TABS
ON WEATHER
IN ALASKA

Weather is not so easily made" or
foretold, if you will, in Alaska as in
the States, but the forecasting service
which began October Is is expected to
show a vast improvement over all pre-
vious attempts at that work in Alaska,
Melvin B. Summers, meteorologist in
charge, believes.
When one considers the enormous
expanse of snow-covered tundra and
hills, frozen streams, forests, and the
still, open places where no man lives
or even moves if he can avoid it, win
ter weather making" in the North
assumes a different aspect. Particu-
larly. Mr.. Summers emphasizes, when
much of the work is a voluntary ma
ture.
The Alaska bureau now has about
eighty cooperative and special OBJ
servers scattered through the vast ex-
panses of the territory, who supply the
bureau with reports for the compila-
ton of Chronological data. For the
actual work of weather forecasting,
two reports daily are required of
eleven stations from widely-separated
points. These reports are sent by
wireless to Juneau and thence to
Washington, D. c., at a. m. and 8
D. M, Juneau time. Even with the
voluntary nature of the work, Mr..
Summers said the results have been
gratifying. This year he looks for
greater success, due to the establish
ment of new stations at Ruby, Circle,
Hot Springs, Ignite and in the Kan
tishna country.
Daily weather reports will not be
furnished Alaska points this winter, as
was done last year, but advance in
formation will be distributed when
marked weather changes are indi-
Gated. Could a weather station be
established in Siberia, because of the
air movement from the west to the
east, Mr.. Summers believes the
Alaska bureaus work would be much
improved.
Alaska stations making regular
reports now include: Sitka, Eagle,
Tanana, Nome, Noorvik, Akiak, Atka,
Dutch Harbor, st. Paul, Kodiak, Val
dez and Juneau Atka is in the Aleu-
| tan group.
