THE WHISPERING CHORUS TO
BE SHOWN SUNDAY NIGHT

Conceded to be one of the most dra-
matte photoplays ever produced, 'the
Whispering Chorus" a Cecil b. De
Mile production for Aircraft will be
shown at the Rex theatre next week
The theme of the picture is one of
self-sacrifice and contains all the ele-
ments that appeal successfully to the
human emotions. The story is that
of man, burdened by debt, who steals
money from the corporation with
which he is employed. To escape ar
rest he drops out of sight to lead the
life of hermit fisherman, leaving his
wife and mother in ignorance of his
whereabouts. He exchanges cloth
ing with a body he fishes out of the
river and the police are not only con-
vinced that Trimble is dead, but that
he was murdered
Assuming false name he becomes
stevedore and is hunted by the po-
lice as the man who slew himself
He returns home clandestinely to see
his mother and is arrested for his own
murder His wife, who had married
again in belief that she was widow,
sees him after his conviction and
rather than destroy her happiness, he
convinces her that they never met be-
fore and goes to his doom smilingly

ONE JUSTICE
FOR COUNTY

A resolution was unanimously
adopted by the board of county COM
missioners at their meeting held in
Minden Monday for the consolidation
of the several townships in Douglas
county as far as the justice court Is
concerned. For the past several
years It has been impossible to secure
the service of anyone to act In the
capacity of justice of peace at either
Genoa or Sheridan, and believing that
consolidation would be of much
benefit to all, the commissioners have
decided to consolidate the three
townships into one district to be
known as East Fork township The
resolution makes the change effective
on the 14th day of May

Motor Trucks
Haul Young Stock

Hardly a week passes that the
numerous motor trucks operating out
of Minden and Gardnerville are not
put to some new use and there seems
no limit to what the motor truck is
capable of doing.
The Antelope Valley Land and Cat
tie company, desired to market several
carlods of yearling calves for veal
To drive the young stock from Topaz
to Minden would require three days
and mean that the calves would loose
much weight. an important factor in
these days of high priced veal Motor
trucks we're rigged up with high pam
nels. the calves loaded and hauled to
Minden for shipment on the railroad.
Five trucks were able to handle car
load of stock at trip and the distance
Of 33 miles from Topaz to Minden was
covered in little over two hours.

CLEARS JUDGE
LANGAN FROM
ALL WRONG

Judge Langan. who granted Mary
Pickford's divorce from Owen Moore
In Douglas county went into confer
ence here today with Assistant Attor-
ney-General Richards, who is investi-
eating the divorce. Plans to push the
investigation were discussed.
The courts and the bar of Nevada
are up In arms over the charges and
insinuations that have been circulated
regarding the divorce and promise not
to let the matter drop.
Judge Langan had just returned
from Gardnerville, where he saw the
woman who wrote letter that was
published by a newspaper In Healds-
burg. Cal.
The woman. he said. promised to
make a full retraction of charges in
volving Judge Langan. The letter
mentioned others in Douglas county
Nothing definite can be done until
the original letter is received from
Healdsburg
Judge Langan had received infor-
nation of the publication in Calf
fornia newspaper of letter written
in Douglas county, to the effect that
rumors Of bribery and expenditures
of large sums of money in connection
with the Pickford divorce are being
circulated.
The same letter stated that is was
believed the investigation would be
dropped The letter was written by
a Gardnerville woman. Judge Lam
gan went Immediately to Gardnerville
to investigate the matter
Judge Langan was plainly angered
by the published reports intimating
fraud
The whole affair must be sifted to
the bottom" he said Il shall ask the
Attorney General to appoint another
deputy to investigate the matter"
The above is United Press dis
patch from Carson that was published
In the San Francisco Bulletin Wednes-
day of this week. Mrs. Sadie Brown
informs the Record-Courier that she
is the lady referred After the Pick
ford divorce, she wrote a letter to her
mother. Mrs. l.. Frey at Healdsburg.
Cal. and from the fact that Mrs. Frey
is former resident of this place, the
daughter, quite naturally told her of
the gossip of the community, never
dreaming OF course, that her letter
would be published AS it is under
stood. Mrs. Brown herself did not be-
lieve, that the court officials actually
took bribe. but merely wrote what
she had heard.
After publication in the Healdsburg
paper, the United Press wired to Car
son to verify the report, a step that
the Healdsburg paper should have
done. II was then that Judge Langan
became acquainted with the published
report and Immediately came to Gard
nerville to see Mrs. Brown. She will
ingly agreed to sign statement deny
ing any knowledge of bribery, and
clearing the name of Judge Langan
and others.
