fContinued from page u

AQnIl0uGQ rum RdSt -
United States district attorney,
opened their case by calling Harry
f. Sands. who figured in the seizure
of the LIQUOR at the warehouse. Mr..
Sands is connected with the prohi-
billion department in Washington.
The testimony also brought out
the fact that during the deal Sig
mund Splitter appeared on the scene
and Gold informed him that every
thing was all right. Splitter is the
secretary and treasurer of the firm
of Frank Gold Inc.
Prior to the trucks leaving the
warehouse after they were loaded
Gold came out to Sands, according
to the testimony. with a hand full or
cards. These cards were addressed
to one Preziosi in Newark and were
tackled on the ends of the boxes on
the rear of the truck, and Gold. &C
cording to Sands testimony, in
structed him to show the tags 70
prohibition officers If they were held
nm and everything would be all
right. If they were held up he ad-
vised them to return to the ware
house with the stuff and everything
would be fixed up.
Following the hearing of the wit
nesses for the government. the gov
ernment's case rested and j. Victor
D'Aloia, of Newark, an attorney
representing Gold and Splitter,
moved that the case be dismissed,
on the grounds that Rosati. Brandy
and Dasson were the guilty parties,
and the government had no case
against either Gold or Splitter.
Commissioner Delaney, however,
said that he believed that the prohi-
bition laws had been violated and
that Gold and Splitter were guilty
and ordered them held for the fed
eral grand jury.

Classic, 1.-The Victory Bellies Com
pany is announced as the next at
traction al the Majestic theare for
an engagement of one day, Monday
afternoon and night. 1t is sufficient
to say that Eddie Dale and Scotty
Friedell, the well known comedians
have provided with the most hui
morous theatrical vehicle entitled
Girls N Everything" a rainbow
cocktail of burlesque musical COM
edy of girls in two acts, a dialogue
and ten scenes. The book and ly-

is by VIM. K. Wells. who is sponsor
Girls" and 1.-The Best Show in
Town" The book is full of witty
lines and intensely funny situations
worked into the ten Genes of the
play and causes no end of laugh
ter. The plot has to do with moth
ing in particular. but it is one that
is easily fathomed by the audience.
1t is a novelty play and calls for the
complete construction of a bur-
lesque in full view of the audience.
Dale and Friedell are equal to call
ing forth a good laugh. To say
nothing of the superbly beautiful
gowns and costumes and scenic fur
nishings would be doing the pro-
Queer an injustice. The Victory
Bellies is a show that may always
be relied upon to furnish the sort
of entertainment that the patrons
of the Majestic theatre like and
will be enjoyed by all classes of the
atregoers. 1t will always be helpful
to the Columbia Amusement Com
pany, whose shows play the Ma

the Crescent theatre. This picture
during its stay in this city has
proved exceedingly popular. Includ'

Paramount picture which VIII be
shown at the Crescent theatre next

auctions. -
BUT Something to Think About"
has. in addition to several stage set
tings of remarkable beauty, some
of the most realistic backgrounds of
a humber sort ever seen in a mo-
ton picture production.
The story offers a great oppor-
tunity for contrast and due advan-
tage has been taken of every oppor-
tunity. In this production, has been
supplied a humble blacksmith's
home, his work shop and the pow
erty-stricken apartment wherein
some of the most important action
of the story ~transpires.
Against this background Cecil b.
De Mile placed a home of exquisite
beauty. By thus contrasting the
two surroundings, they have empha-
sized the realism of one and the
artistic perfection of the other.
Notable examples of this decora-
tive lavishness are to be found in
the Oriental living room. library and
music room which comprises one
portion of the residence in question.
Another striking sample of the ul-
ira modern influence in interior dec

TEXT BOOKS TO DEALERS
School Three Weeks Distant and Kan
sas Is Ready for Instruction.

With opening of the fall school term
but three weeks distant, practically
all dealers, are supplied with state
printed textbooks. If there is a short
age it will be because dealers have
failed to order enough, according to
j. H. McIlhenny, secretary of the state
school book commission.
All but sixteen of the 335 bonded
dealers have placed their orders for
the current year. The state printing
plant is up to date in filling orders.
Usually they are shipped out the same
day received.
Before the season opened the state
printing plant had on hand 1850
books, considerably more than enough
to meet this years demands. All ele-
mentary school books, with exception
of the drawing and music books are
state-printed and furnished at cost to
the dealers who are allowed to charge
Is per cent profit.
There is but one change in texts
this year. Mace's beginners history
has been substituted for the history in
use the last six years. The new text
containing 500 pages and two colored
maps has been printed by the state
from plates leased from an eastern
publishing house. This book is sold
to dealers for So cents. The retail
price is 70 cents. The publishers
list price is $1.20. This represents
saving to the school children of about
40 per cent on this particular text.

MANY IDLE HERE
Salvation Army Aids 225 Fami-
lies in Two Months.
No Relief Forecast in Unem-
plOyment Situation.

The unemployment conditions are as
bad as they were two months ago as
far as they affect the work of the Sal
walton Army. Adjutant Hugh Percy
reports that 507 garments and 80 pairs
of shoes were given away during the
month of June and about the same
number in July. The army has aided
225 families during the two months
period and has given away s462.13 in
cash and clothing.
The army is unable at this time to
furnish transportation to anyone de-
string it on account of the tremendous
burden that has been placed on it
due to the unemployment conditions.
The army, however, is helping out
much by serving free meals in its soup
kitchen. The number of meals served
average about five a day.
Family Sells Furniture.
There is one worthy family of seven
that the army is especially interested
in. The father has been out of en-
ployment for six months and has been
selling the household furnishings
rather than accept aid. The Saliva
ton Army will be very glad to receive
contributions to aid this family.
