Major Parke First
 In Thrilling Race

Although almost all of the horses which raced at the Jamaica track yesterday were of the platter variety there were several thrilling contests. The Caledonian Selling Handicap at six furlongs furnished a head and head finish, with Jefferson Living ston's Major Parlle getting the de- cision over r. Hutchin's Tableau d'Honneur by the tiniest of mar gins.
 Seven good platers started in this event. but it was a two horse affair throughout between Major Parke and Tableau d'Hon3eur. Hummer was on the Livingston. colt and Ensor had the leg up on the Hutchins rep-esen- tative. And neither jockey ever rode better in his life. Three times dur inG the short sprint Ensor had his mount in front, but each time Kum- mer fairly lifted his charge back into the lead. While the race was on the crowd was in a high pitch of ex- citement and after the contest there were hundreds of disputes as tc which jockey had ridden the bette, race. In tho opinion of almost al the practical horsemen the honors were equal; that both had ridder perfectly and that Hummer won witt the better horse.

Sim Feiners' Cleverness
 OutWitS British Soldiers

tebacconist and barber business. The
 military had come for him and was
 at the door, To dash out into the
 street or attempt to climb along the
 roof was out of the question,
 Walsh slipped into the barber's shop
 at the rear of the place and got one
 of the assistants to slip a towel about his neck and lather up. You can bet soap was never put on so thick at it
 was then. The police officers and
 military actually entered the place
 and stood within few feet of him
 and never guessed the truth. They
 departed without making the capture.
 Escapes From Prison
 Walsh had a run of a few months after that before he was captured
 and eighteen months ago he was tried
 six years is hanging over him. The
 day following his trial he with twen-
 ty others, escaped from the famous
 Mountjoy prison-a regular old bas-
 been on the run. Today he was toll ing me of "close shave" he had when in the North of Ireland last week in his auto-bike. The authori- ties got wind he was in the district and every road was watched. At Portadown the police got him, bu; i Walsh decided to brazen it out. He told them he knew the man they were after, but were they not mistaken ill taking him for J. J. Walsh? He pro- duced his drivers license which was or course, in some other name. How ever, the officers had their suspicious and marched him to the barracks and l held him for four hours What i really got him away was a photo of himself with his autograph which he | had with him. The picture was 50 | unlike Walsh's face that the police when shown this picture became con- i Vinced they had the wrong man and | let him go. Ut was,' said he "six years for me only for that
 1 How De Valera Escaped. | When MT. De Valera cleared out to 1 the United States very simple trick 1 put the police off the scent. Plain-
 clothes men shadowed him to tn. ] shipping agents at Dublin when he 1 was about to cross to England to join his boat there for New York De 1 Valera stood in the queue and when i his turn came to purchase his tick 4 ct he presented twenty pound note. | The clerk apoligized for not having | tha change, but the Irish republican, ] leader, knowing that his conversa- | ton was being listened to all tho i time, said: "Oh, that's all right: I'll ! be back on Thursday" That Thurs. ! day is a long time coming, but it won cellar passage to America for | De Valera. The detectives took i: for granted that he was only going
 Ito England for few days and re- 1 faxed their vigilance.
 Thousands of other such cases could be quoted of how Sim F'einers beat the authorities. The simplest
 and most obvious way is oftentimes the best.

Stevenson knew so we'll how to por-' tray. In excellent realistic detail he has reproduced the old Benbow s>>y- ern, where lived young Jim Hawkins. and his mother. The coming of Bill Bones, the raucous sea captain and later of Black Dog; the fight over the sea chest and the capture of the chart showing the location of Captain Flint's treasure by Jim; the expedi- ton to seek the buried gold; the mutiny, the battles with the pirates at the steckade, and the final sue cess-au the absorbing episodes that have made Stevenson's book a delight live wildly on the screen.
 In the role of young Jim Hawkins, Shirley Mason gives, more charm ing performance than any boy actor could hope to offer. Lon Chaney is g. master of maiignity as Pew and Merry. Charles Og1e, Al Filson and Sydney Dean do fine work. But the chief credit must go to, MT. Tourner. He has made of this Param ount Art craft production a picture no one, screen lover or not, can afford to miss.

HUSBANDS RIGHTS
 ARE IN DANGER

Paris, Oct. 9.-The husband S authority in the home is threatened in liberty loving France.
 A bill has been introduced in the Senate repeating clause of the civil code which asserts that the wife owes obedience to her husband.
 Senator Louis Martin, who wanted this clause wiped off the statute books, said the time had come when the husband should no longer be an absolute monarch" but the househ old should become a, "constitutionaI non- archy". Senator Collin opposed the repeal on the ground that, unless there was well defined head of the house the door would be open to bol- shevism in the home. Action on the bill has been postponed.

 Dublin, Oct. 9. The exploit of the Sim Feiners in capturing Belleek County Fermanagh) police barracks without as much as firing shot brings to mind some of their daring clever coupS.
 At Belleek a party of Irish republi- cans drove up to the local police bar racks, which was fortified by sand bags and barbed wire, while the de- lenders were well provided with bombs, rifles and ammunition. To might have been a long and costly business for the raiders and so they decided on a trick. Disguised as sol diers they knocked at the door and were admitted as friends. The au- dacity of the manoeuvre was com pletely successful. Inside the building it only required the twinkling of an eye to overpower the police, bind them and lock them in an outhouSe. All the rifles, bombs, revolvers and ammunition were seized by the Sim E'einers, who escaped in their waiting g automobiles. The raid was perfectly timed, inasmuch as part of the police garrison was out at mass at the time, and as a precaution against their joining their comrades the church doors were locked.
 Fool English Detectives. Another similar feat was carried out the other night in Dublin. A number of detectives were watching a house where a badly wanted Sim Fein Member of Parliament was stay ing. There was no chance of escape, the place was watched from all sides and it was only a matter of some hours when darkness set in that a party of soldiers would arrive to make the arrest. A military truck did arrive with khaki clad soldiers in | it fully equipped with tin hats and all, but they were not English sol diers; they were just Sim F'einers sailing under strange colors. The officer of the party asked one of the | plain clothes men to accompany him | to make the search and capture | This was actually done, and wihout any hurry they put the handcuffs or 1 their man and shipped him off in the auto. Before starting, however, the | officer gave instructions to the de l tectives to continue their watch or 1 the house The real arresting party 1 did arrive some time later and ths | chagrin of both military and police | can be ina gined when they found ! their prey had slipped through theii | fingers.

As the heroine of Pinero's famous senti- mental play amplified for the screen by Beulah Marie Dix, the winsome little star captivates the hearts of all who see her. An exceptional cast is in evidence in her support among them Theodore Roberts and l Milton Stills, who have both been starred in their own pictures.

 It is a musical play in two acts and five scenes from the pens of Frank Mandel and Edward Paulton, with music score by Silvioj Hein. It tells a most amusing story of the family life of a brilliant author who wrote the most fervent love stories but who had not time to show his affection for his young wife. Of course, it meant trouble for him and the complications which arise in his of comedy3in which MT. Leans talents fairly sparkle.
