Unable to Climb Out,
Workman Is Confined in
Water Tower All Dav

To be confined seven hours in a
water tower. is no picnic, according
to Charles Lorenzen, who speaks
from experience. Lorenzen was sent
into the city water tower Saturday
after the big tank had been emptied,
tc fit new bolts to the expansion
Joints. He descended thirty feet to
the bottom of the tank on a knotted
rope about 10 o'clock in the forenoon
and expected to come up for his din
ner
Lorenzen worked hard and when
NE attempted to climb back, hand
over hand, he was unable to do
so. He took a long rest and made
another attempt but he could not lift
himself to the top of the tank.
Another effort proved no more sue
cessful and Lorenzen began to regard
his position as serious.
He made his plight known to
members of the city water depart
ntent at the top Of the tank and plans
Tor removing him from his position
were discussed. Working from the
top of the high tank is not simple
and to attempt to lift man from a
depth Of thirty feet is much more
difficult. A block and tackle had to
be set up and between and 5
o'clock in the afternoon, after much
effort. Lorenzen was hauled up. He
had spent seven hours in the tank
and declares that is sufficient for a
life time.

AMUSE MENTS.
At the Strand.

Wesley Barry's debut on the screen
as star in "Dinty." at the Strand
is the browning achievement OF the
frecllle- faced youngsters meteoric
career and triumph for that
wizard OF the silent drama, Marshall
Nolan. who created and produced
this remarka BILE photcplay. AS
"Dinty" O'Sullivan. a fighting San
Francisco newsboy, Wesley COM
pletely captivates his audience. In
his own inimitable way he brings out
his role with exceeding cleverness
and sympathy. There is a touch of
pathos in the fascinating story when
Dinty loses his mother, but for the
most part it is trimming over with
humor and fun. thrilling adventure
and pretty romance constituting
the backbone of the plot.
How Dinty becomes king Of the
Newsboys' Trust, works his way into
the good graces of the assistant dis
trict attorney, aids in the recovery
OF his fianee, who has been kidnapped
by gang of Malay half-breeds, and
engineers a little romance of his
own, is revealed in this interesting
story. Dinty's co-workers, a cheerful
pickaninny, played by Aaron Mitchell,
and Chinese youngster, portrayed
by Walter Chung. are good features
in the picture. With very good
supporting cast, an unusual story,
excellent photography, and fascinat-
ing Wesley Barry, it Is picture
which will appeal to everyone.

SON OF KAISER ENDS HIS LIFE
Commits Suicide Following Reverses
at the Gambling Table.

London.-Prince Joachim, youngest
son of the former kaiser, fatally shot
himself at Potsdam, July Is, accord
ing to dispatch to the Daily Express.
The prince was hurried to Il hospital
where he died four hours later. The
princes wife had left him last year.
In the last two years Joachims
name has figured in stories about
Swiss gambling resorts where he play
ed fast and loose with whatever rem
nants of an unearned fortune he could
lay his hands on. Not long after the
revolution that made an end of kaiser
ism and smashed princely pretensions,
he was caught in the radical upheaval
that swept Munich; his wife was with
him at the time, the two being engag-
ed in an ill-starred attempt at recon
ciliation. Both were arrested by the
radicals and expelled from the Bavar-
ian capital. After that the prince re-
sumed gambling with greater speed
and recklessness and the state of his
exchequer may have had not little
to do with his death.
