PALACE

Dramatic art as applied to the motion picture screen is exemplihed to an un- usual degree by William Farnurn i'll His Greatest Sacrifice" which IS the outstand- ing film attraction at the Palace for Sun day, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This drama, visualizing a compelling story of parent love, affords the star an opportunity of laying all his great his- trionic powers before the photodramatic public with the result that His Greatest Sacrifice proves one of the greatest ot William Farnurn'S screen successes. Pro- vided with a dramatic part that IS big III every sense of the word, William Farnum gives an interpretation of the parent role that from sheer force and power l1teraly transports the stars audience into the very life and atmosphere of the story. The story brings up and dWells on a question quite common i'll these modern times-should a wife have a career that interferes with the welfare of her hus- band, her home and her child? The question is answered in most emphatic and telling fashion in this interesting and absorbing photoplay. Supporting Far mum is a selected cast, including Alice Fleming, Lorena Stevens, Evelyn Gree ly, Frank Goldsmith, Charles Wellesley, Edith McAlpin Benrimo and Henry Leone.
 As an added feature on the Palace pro- gram for Sunday evening, Mrs. Wallace Reid i'll Every Woman's Problem" will provide fine support for the big Farnum attraction. In addition to this interesting drama the Selznick News Weekly and the ever interesting Kineto Review will all serve delightful screen entertainment The names appearing on the Palace vaudeville bill for Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday bring to notice many of the best known and cleveres1 personalities i'll the ranks of variety. One instance of the excellence of the vaudeville bill IS the presence of Lillian Fitzgerald with Billy Griflths, offering delightful di- version called Just Song"
 "Profteering" has become a national work It has been used as the title of a very effective sketch presented by Walter Newman and Company and as an amusing and delightful comedy will prove one of the features. The little comedy has to do with the troubles of young and pretty actress has with her landlord, who Is forever raising the rent William Demarest and Estelle Collette in Strings and Stringers" have one of vaudevilles best known acts.
 Jerome and Albright in twenty minutes of fun and melody called Two Bright Lights from Broadway" and Bill Crutch- field, known as "A Breeze From the West" is comedy act and lariet throw ing novelty are two more strong numbers.

ATTORNEY GENERAL TO PROBE
 CONNECTICUT BRASS SCANDAL
Daugherty Gets on Trail of War Contracts Had By Waterbury and Cheshire Companies. Also to Probe Settle ment.

Washington, June 1o.-Ihe new department of justice IS going to the bottom of the war contract of the Connecticut Brass x Manutactur1ng Corporation of Waterbury and Chesh- ire through which the government lost nearly $1oo,ooo by the wrongful conversion of copper furnished by the war department.
 Attorney General Daugherty told newspapermen following an earher intimation by President Harding, tHat a special division of expert lnvestga- tors was being organized m the de, partment of justice to look into all war contracts about which any ques-- ton had been raised, and that he had already selected a high grade lawyer to head the organization He pre- ferred not to name the lawyer until he had his acceptance While the Con necticut Brass & Manufacturing Cor Doration contract was not specifically mentioned, the fact that the ordnance department baked at the settlement proposed by the Cummings and Lock wood, representing the corporation, leading to the publication of some surprising disclosures, put 1t Tn the category of companies mentioned by the attorney general.
 There has been so much publicity about war contracts scandals, he said, "that the department owes 1t to the public and the companies 1nvolv- ed to make a thorough investigation. Furthermore, how are we going to justify the sending of boys and men to iail for opposing the military law during war times if we overlook sharp business men and able lawyers who preyed on the public at the time when all the money in the treasury was sofely needed?"
 The law firm, Cummings x Lock wood, composed of former Chairman Homer 5. Cummings of the democrat ic national committee, and Charles D. Lockwood, democratic candidate for lieutenant governor in 1918, agreed with the Connecticut district attor- neys office on a settlement on behalf of the Connecticut Brass x Manufac- turing Corp, that was set law as to cause United States Senators Poin- dexter of Washington to protest to former Attorney General Palmer that local interests were being served. At that time, Thomas J. Spellacy, of Hartford, democratic candidate for governor in 1918, was an assistant to the attorney general, but he resigned before MT. Daugherty took office.

Blue Label Board
 Urges Cooperation
Cigar Makers Call Attention to Means of Providing Work
 for Unionists.

To the Editor of the LABOR NEWS:
 In these days when union men and their friends are being urged to employ only union labor and not to purchase pro- ducts that do not bear the union label as means toward defeating the Open Shop movement, 1t may be of interest to note that the Blue Label of the CigarmakerS' Union was the first union label adopted in the United States, the date of its adoption being September 1, 1880.
 This label was also the first to receive the endorsement of the American Feder- ation of Labor, this being given in 1881. In 1882 the Federation i'll a further en- dorsement of this label said: We will use our best efforts to influence all work ing1nen to refrain from smoking cigars that do not bear the union label or fre- querting places where they are sold"
 Since then this label has been repeated ly endorsed by labor organizations in all parts of this country and Canada. These endorsements, combined with display ad- vertising and continued agitation by local label committees have made the Blue Union Label of the Cigarmakers' Union one of the best known union labels now in use and most smokers, whether mem- bers of organized labor or not, are aware that when this Blue Label is affixed to a box containing cigars, 1t is guarantee that these cigars were made by hand in a sanitary factory by union men whose employers are not in sympathy with the open shop movnent, but who believe in maintaining fair conditions and paying a living wage.
 In view of these facts we urge all union men to be consistent when buying cigars and accept only those packed in boxes bearing the Blue Label of the Cigarmakers' Union to the end:
 1. That manufacturers who are fair to union labor may be encouraged to con- tinue so. %$l 2. That work may be provided for union men in preference to non-unlon workers.
 }. That you may be true to your union pledge and at the same time receive full value for your money.
 Fraterna1ly yours,
 BLUE LABEL COMMITTEE,
 Cigarmakers' Union No. 39.

Angry Squirrel
 Bites Woman
Attacks Children, Too, and Sets Town in Tumu1t Before It
 Finally Is Shot.

Rockville Center, L. l., June 17- A bold, bad squirrel was shot and killed by Robert H. Poggenberg of 2I5 Maple avenue, after it had caused considerable disturbance among the residents of the center and tied up traffic in it's main thoroughfare.
 The squirrel first attacked Mrs. E. V. Pitluga as she was standing i'll front of her home at 3I0 Hampstead avenue. She threw a milk bottle at the animal which crashed against the fence, attracting the attention of a man who was passing i'll wagon. The man stopped his wagon, blocking traffic, and gave chase to the squirrel, which, after attacking some school children, was finally cornered in Pog- gensberg's yard and shot.

RUMORED WARNER |
MAY COACH PENN.
Pitt Tutor Has Had Conference
With Red and Blue Foot
ball Officials
NOW TAKING VACATION

pittsburgh, Dec. 15.--In the wake
Vi the rumor that Jock Sutherland.
former Pitt guard, would be head
coach of the Panthers next season
comes tho report that Glenn Warner
may succeed John w. Heisman as head
Iltor Of football at the University Of
Pennsylvania.
There can he no doubt concerning
the truth Of the talk that there is a
movement on foot at Pittsburgh to
oust Warner. II was started during
me gridiron season after the defeat by
Ncbraska. II gained in impetus with
the Washington and jefferson reverse
ana Increased after Warmers talk at
tne banquet to the squad, in which he
training methods this season.
Warmers Friends Numerous
The supporters of the anti. Warner
campaign are emphatic in their asscr-
tions that the famous coach will be
dropped But the long string Of
triumphs that he has given Pittsburgh
has not gone for naught. and Pop still
has strong and influential friends.
Warmers contract still has two years
to run, and no effort will be made to
break It, However. II he consents 10
leave. it is said that he will be paid in
fu for the remaining seasons.
1t Is understood that virtually the
same condition exists at the University
OF Pennsylvania. Alumni here have
heard that there is an effort at Penn to
unse8t HeiSman, who was here last
night speaking to Red and Blue grad
uate'.
Heisman's S contract calls for one more
year, but he has had an offer Of $40. 900
to coach the University Of Cincinnati
squad.
Penn. Warner Conference
1t Is said here that Warner has been
in conference with Penn officials.
Warner is spending n vacation now in
New York State.
The Pitt coach is Cornell graduate
and this is one stumbling block In th'
path which leads toward Pennsylvania
1t Is traditional at the Philadelphia in
stitution to have the coach of the foot
ball team q member Of the alumni.
An effort is being made by Penn men
Il iB said. to have non Penn coach
tutor Of the Red and Blue, but whethc
or not this plan will so through is prob
lGmatical.
One graduate here from Ben Frank
Inns university states that non" Penn
sylvania coach Is the answer to tn
football situation in Philadelphia.

This afternoons meeting is one of
the most important since Folwell was
given his release. The schedule, so

be announced. while the question Of the

over. The baseball schedule, which Is

also probably be issued for publication.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C., June II.
Secretary of War Weeks to-day re-
lieved Col. Frederick S. Foltz from
command at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, fol-
lowing charges that a soldier had been
subjected to cruel and inhuman treat
ment either by his orders or by those
of officers under him.
The action of Secretary Weeks was
taken after a visit from Representa-
tive Rosenbloom of West Virginia,
show that Private George p. Rhodes
of Wheeling had been kept in irons
tor almost month, Notwithstanding
that in more than half of that period
he was suffering from an infected leg
caused by the chatting of the leg irons
and was confined to the hospital.
Rosenbloom had called to the Secre-
tary's attention a statement made by
Rhodes concerning the treatment he re-
ceived at Fort Oglethorpe, and while
not vouching for the truth of the de-
tailed charges requested that an inves-
tigation be made and appropriate action
taken. 1t is understood the Secretary's
order was issued after an investiga-
tion by the Inspector-Generars Depart
ment of the Army.
Mr.. Weeks, in commenting on the or
der. said 1t appeared that Rhodes had
given much trouble to the officers of
the post, but that the treatment ac-
corded to him had been extreme. The
Secretary said no formal charges had
been preferred against Col. Foltz and
no board of inquiry or court-martial had
been ordered as yet. He stated, how
ever. that further investigation might
be ordered.
According to the story told by Rhodes
he is a graduate of Culver Military
Academy and attended an officers
training camp. He said he enlisted at
Cleveland for service in the cavalry,
with the understanding that he might
resign within year.
At Fort O2lethorpe. he said. he incurred
the displeasure of his officers by telling
them of his previous military experience
and attempting to convince them he
knew more about soldering than others
of the command. Dissatisfied with the
treatment he received, Rhodes says he
went A. w. o. L. for twenty-six hours,
as a result of which he received ten days
kitchen police duty.
After serving the ten days sentence
he again went A. w. o. L., and upon
