A little later, the mother, who is
81 years old, was found wandering,
bruised and dazed, and brought to
the station.
With her face marked black and
blue where her grown son had
struck her. scarcely able to stand,
Mrs. Wemple, widow of two
months, pleaded with the officers to
release her son.
Mother Tells Story.
My feet were so re, thought
| couldn't walk any farther" Mrs,
Wcmple said trying to explain her
sons treatment of her, Il asked him
to put me on the street car and take
me home-I felt awfully weak In
stead he struck me witll~his fist and
knocked me down. Then he struck
me again and again until some man
pulled him away.
Il didn't do anything to make him
mad. | can't understand why he
did it. But | want you to let g.,
& home .th me and take care f
me. He has been a good son and |
just can't stay alone at night"
Mrs. Wemple's plea moved men
in the police station to tears.
The aged woman explained that
she and her son had been visiting
friends, and that when they started
home her feet wero so sore she had
difficulty walking. They allowed
several cars to pass, she said, before
she asked him to put her on a car
and send her home, as she felt she
could walk no further. That re-
quest caused the beating, she said.

LEAPS FROM PLANE
TO PLANE IN FLIGHT.

Chicago. April 22.-Lieut. Ormer
l.. Locklear, the aviator who leaps
from one airplane 20 another while
in full flight, arrived in Chicago to-
day in connection with the Liberty
loan drive.
How do you do it" he was
asked.
We'll, it is simple. When my
pilot is running smoothly at not
less than 5000 feet | climb down
to the axle of the ground wheels
under the lower plane and sit there
and wait for the second machine to
fly under me- When it is directly
under me and both machines are
going virtually at the same speed,
| drop, about two feet One foot
slips instantly under an iron sup
port for an exhaust pipe. Then !
grab it with my hands. That's all,
if you do it perfectly"
The daring aviator said that he
would not attempt the feat here as
the pilots now in Chicago are
strange to him.

Paris April 22.-(By The Asso-

government has been overthrown at
Budapest, according to an official
wireless message received here to-
day. Rioting and pillaging is going
on in the city.
Resigns Under Pressure.
Amsterdam, April 22.-The Hun
garian government, headed by Bella
Kun. has resigned under pressure
of Roumanian troops. according to
a dispatch to the Central News
from Vienna quoting reports re-
ceived in that city by aerial mail
from Budapest. Wild chaos is said
to prevail at the Hungarian capital.
1t is reported tina. Czecho forces
have joined the Roumanians and
have defeated the Hungarian soviet
troops.
Roumanian Triumphant.
Budapest, April 22.-(By The As
sociated ress.)-The Hungarian
foreign minister. Bella Kun, in his
speech before the soldiers and
workmen's council Saturday, ad-
mitted that the Roumanian offensive
was temporarily successful. The
Roumanian troops had captured
Szatmar- -Nometi and we're close to
the gates o. Grosswardein (Nagv-
varad), only a small portion of the
Hungarian troops having stood
their ground, while the others
abandoned their positions and dis
persed.
The situation, said Bella Kun, was
also bad towards Bekesosaba, where
the Hungarian troops also we're
demoralized and the Roumanians
everywhere were attacking with
superior forces.
Garami Recalled.
A change in the makeup of the
Hungarian government which will
give it more conservative ten
dency is expected. The name
of Count Michael Karolyi, former
president, is not mentioned, but
NJ. Garami, q moderate socialist
who served in karolyis administra-
ton, has been requested to return
from Switzerland.
The government has decided to
attempt to discipline the population.
One of the first steps was to order
the coffee houses closed. The local
telephone Service has been sus-
tended on the ground that it is a
bourgeoise institution. A large
amount of bad money is in circu-
lation and is selling for 40 per
cent of its face value. Its origin
is not known.
Railway trains have stopped COM
ing into Budapest. .......e .

in Vienna in the days of the declara-
ton of the German-Austrian re-
public here. Kun, who appears not
older than Is years and is devoted
admirer of Lenine and bolshevism,
made spectacular appearance in
this capital.

Love and June EIvidge. Each a
brilliant star in his own right, their
joint appearance in a single picture
Is to be marveled at. Although jeal-
ousy has been made the subject Of
the story. the matter is treated in a
light vein and the comedy OF story
predominates. Similar in theme to
Sardou's "A Scrap OF Paper" the
story exerts a direct pull upon the
interest from start TO finish. There
is a generous intermingling of drama
and hnmor with the action centering
about a letter written by a bride TO
her former lover on the eve Of her
marriage to another man. The pic
ture is another excellent example of
what the screen can accomplish in
the way of entertainment that is at
once artistic and satisfying.
THE Yelled Adventure" on Tues
day stars pretty and vivacious Con-
stance Talmadge in another of those
ingenious heroine roles that have
brought her screen fame. The story
blends comedy with suspense and
mystery and presents the unusual sit
uation Of a girl who on her wedding
eve finds the man of her choice to
be unworthy of her. How matters
are Strengthened out and her final
happiness brought about makes for
delightful screen entertainment and
affords the star wide scope for her
comedy ability.
