MOVIE STAR DIES
AFTER PARIS ORGY
OLIVE THOMAS, WIFE OF JACK
PICKFORD, VICTIM OF POISON.
SPENT NIGHT OF REVELRY.

The Babylonian revels of Paris,
worlds capital of gaiety and fashion,
have claimed, indirectly at least an
other life. In the. death of Olive
Thomas, American screen star and
wife of Jack Pickford, after a night
spent in the restaurants of Mont
martre. the French capitals under
world, scored another victory. Miss
Thomas died from the effects of a
self-administered overdose of mer-
curial poison.
The Lure of Paris.
The death of the popular young
motion picture actress has reused a
storm of criticism and denunciation
in Paris of the continuance of the
clandestine resorts. The Rev. DR..
Beekman, rector of the American
church in Paris which recently rails
ed S1,OOO,000 for campaign against
the vice in Paris which causes in
Vulnerable girls to lose their souls, J"
was particularly vehement in his de-
nunciation of the Partisan night life.
The Duchess d'Uzes, famous suf-
fragist and society leader of Paris,
declared the death of Olive Thorn
as clearly shows the terrible conse-
quences of the notorious gay life of
Paris, which, since the armistice, has
grown more and more flagrantly i'm
moral"
Investigation was also made by the
police of rumors of cocaine orgies
and champagne dinners which lasted
into the early hours of the morning,
attended by the habitues of the
French cinema world and some Of
their American guests.
Hints of Suicide.
A big legal fight over the payment
of a 100000 insurance policy on
the life of Miss Thomas is predicted,
based it is said, on the possibility
that Miss Thomas may have commit
ed suicide. Miss Thomas was report
ed to have taken the deadly drug in
mistake for a sleeping potion, fol-
lowing her return to her hotel at a
O'Clock in the morning after an all
night revel in gay restaurants.
Olive Thomas, who was "a years
old, was born in Charlerlo, Pa, and,
when Is years old, was working as
saleslady in a Pittsburg department
store. When she was 16 she married
Klugh Thomas, whom she divorced
two years later. For some time she
was a popular show girl in New
York city, later entering the moving
picture ranks. She married Jack
Pickford, a brother of Mary Pick
ford. in 1917. With her husband and
a number Of other motion picture
stars she was on tour of Europe,
visiting points of interest and max
i1-rr nictures at the same time.

TIGHT MONEY CUTS
CATTLE BREEDING
STOCKMEN OF SOUTHWEST UN-
ABLE TO GET SUFFICIENT
ACCOMMODATIONS.

KANSAS CITY.-Money is in such
scant supply in the livestock indus
try of the southwest that breeders
and feeders are unable to obtain
ample accommodations even at 10
per cent. Breeding and feeding Oper-
ations are being restricted as the
result of the money scarcity.
Only a small fraction of the vol
ume of cattle and sheep paper nor
mally sold on this market to outside
banks is moving at present. The
banks and loan companies which are
disposing of paper to the East report
that it is difficult to place the loans
at s and 81 per cent. After adding
the customary per cent to cover
expenses, including period inspec-
tons of the stock and profits, the
loans cost the borrowers 10 per cent.
Banks of the east are reducing
their holdings of cattle paper. One
loan company which was selling pa
per to 100 different banks over the
country a year ago says only ten
banks are on its buying list today.
Naturally with the east iquidating
a portion of all of its cattle loans
money flowing into stock yards
banks from the increasing movement
of grass cattle and sheep is not 60
ing back into the industry in many
instances. County banks in winter
wheat sections are taking more cat
tie loans, but they are proving rath-
er disappointing outlets on account
of the slow sale of wheat and the
consequent light increase in their
supply of loanable funds. They also
have the choice of abundant offer
ings of packers paper at per cent.
A new record in receipts of calves
for month on the Kansas City
market was established here in Aug
ust. The arrivals were 65,835 calves,
compared with 81 ,401 in August,
1919. The calf crop was heavy last
spring in the southwest, but there
is so much feed that no record in
receipts would have been marked up
except for the pressure of tight mon
ey. 1t is also significant that an I'M
usual number of well-bred cows only
four to five years old are coming
from ranges in order to enable the
ranchmen to liquidate loans. Some
fine Hereford COWS have been sold to
packers at $50 a head. Not so many
months ago they were in active de-
mand on the Texas ranges at $500
for breeding purposes.
Considering the influence of the
tightness of money the livestock
trade here made good showing the
last month, but there is nervousness
over the immediate outlook. Cattle
receipts were 259,883 head, compar-
ed with 271325 a year ago. More
would have come except for the fact
that bankers permitted delays in
marketing because of the desire of
the holders to take advantage of the
excellent pasture conditions.
Depression in corn and improve
ment in the outlook for feed produc-
ton in general offset in a measure
the influence of tight money Farm
ers and feeders of independent
means were stimulated by the pros
pect of an enormous supply of feed.

DREAM OF FREE
FIUME SHATTERED
REGARDLESS OF WILSON BRIT
AIN AND FRANCE AGREE THAT
CITY BECOME PART OF ITALY.

AIX-LES-BAINS.-President Will
sons plan for the settlement of the
Adriatic question has been scrapped.
Instead of the Wilsonian dream of a
free city of Fiume under the league
of nations, the strategic port will be-
come a part of Italy in accordance
with the plans of Gabrielle D'Annun-
zio.
This was apparent today in the
light of the official announcement
made at the conclusion of the con-
ference between Premiers Millerand,
of France, and Giolitti, of Italy. The
Italian government has accepted the
free state of Fiume under D'Annun-
zio as part of its official policy. Clio
litti, at Lucerne, obtained the ac-
quesence of Premier Lloyd George
in his plans. At Aix-les-Bains he
offered to support certain parts of
the French policy in exchange for
Millerand's consent to scrapping the
Adriatic policy of President Wilson
and the French premier's promise
not to interfere with the occupation
of Fiume by D'Annunzio.
That the D'Annunzian constitu-
ton makes Fiume into what for all
intents and purposes is an Italian
city is generally agreed.

How England Grows.

"a great deal of interest is taken
in England IN tne question Of coast
protection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away, bat
this very process furnishes a defense
for the land by building up long
beaches Of sand and single which ar
rest the waves before they can attack
the cliffs. An effort is making to pre-
vent, or better regulate, the removal OF
this material for construction and road
building, because in many places its
removal has permitted the sea free

more coerced into Sailing Under

John Fillmore, great at-granRather OF
aiHard Fillmore, the thirteenth pfesi-
dent OF the United States, was pl-
rate, though he was pirate in spite
Of himself. The5 story begins with the
frstduarter Of the eighteenth century,
when the freebooters, Biuebeard, Low
and Phillips, swept the Atlantic coast
from Jamaica to Newfound dland. Phil
elips captured the Dolphin OF Cape Ann,
q vessel commanded by Andrew
Harden.
Harden discovered among the
pirates crew two young men. John
Fillmore and Edward sCheesman,
whom Philips had captured and
made pirates against their will.
They had determined either to es-
cape from the pirates clutches or
to capture his vessel and bring him
and his crew to justice. TheySfxed
an appointed hour for making the
attempt at escape, after reaching
an agreement with Harden.
The signal was given Wren only
three were on deck, one Of whom
was Phillips. One of the men was
thrown overheard, and the other two
were killed. This was done while the
crew swas below in the hold of the
ship. The captors then sprang into
the hold and placed the. rest Of the
crew in chains, steered the vessel
for Boston, and arrived there May 3,
1924. Two of the pirates were hanged,
while Fillmore, Cheesman and his con-
federates were acquitted.
