Dorothy Dalton is back again in
the role Of a daughter of the great

story, which will be seen at the
Crescent theatre that Miss Dalton

escape arrest for having killed a
man. She is left without father and
mother in a mining own built up
over night and obtains a position in
the Aurora Borealis, a saloon and
dance hall of the town. She soon
becomes one of the biggest drawing
cards of the saloon and plays I'M
mercifully with the miners, trim
ming them for all they are worth,
but still remaining the most desired
of all the girls.
In the dance hall she meets Bates,
a young engineer from New York,
| who fast becomes a worthless drunk
ard. In order to get even with the
way she has treated them the miners
force her to marry Bates. After
many incidents of dramatic interest
she succeeds in regenerating Bates

Rig Features at Ditmas

Dorothy Gish's latest Paramount
picture is a ghostly comedy but the
supposed ghosts are of the flesh and
blood variety. The result is many
laughs. and in this respect The
Ghost in the Carrot" which will be
shown at the Ditmas theatre today
is a delightful and bracing gloom
chaser.
AS the heroine in the story, Miss
Gish follows a band of thieves into a
reputed haunted house and to
achieve her purpose of recovering a
stolen necklace she plays the part of
a ghost with weird yet laughable eff
feet. In this work she is aided by a
most intelligent bulldog whose act
ing qualities are finely displayed. The
story was written by Wells Hastings.
If you had everything you wanted,
how long would you want it?
There were a great many things
Harry Bullway (Jack Pickford)
wanted in THE Man Who Had
Everything" and his father, inspired
by the prophetic utterance of a blind
man saw that he got them. When
the young man found that nothing
which money could not buy was be-
yond his reach he tired of being
pampered. He started out for him
self, found that he had overlooked
the love of a wonderful girl. and
well you must see this picture to APP

CHINA BECOMES
MORE ANXIOUS
Sees in American Note to Jap
an Confirmation of Inter-
naturalization Rumor
fBy The Associated Press.l

PICKING. Aug. 22.-Evidence
supporting rumors that the Internal
i%onalizatiOn of China is being con-
templated, is to be seen, asserts the
vi Shih-Pao, a non-partisan news
paper, in the American reply to
Japan's efforts to obtain an outline
of the agenda of the conference on
disarmament and Far Eastern ques-
lions to be held in Washington this
autumn. In an editorial the paper
said:
1.-The American note to China mere
" said the conference would discuss
Pacific and Far Eastern questions,
no restrictions being placed upon the
scope of the session. The note to
Japan said tina America, while un-
willing to accede to the demand of
the Japanese government to restrict
the scope of the conference still
hopes the American government will
be able to exchange opinion with a
view to reaching some agreement.
This shows a preliminary confer
ence between the big powers is
found to occur. Why should Amer
lea agree to a preliminary confer
cree with Japan and England and
omit mention of China? Whether
his betrays the secret desire of
these three countries to dispose OF
us in camera or whether during
the preliminary conference Japan
will give part of it's spoils to Eng
land and America and so win their
good will is less important than the
fact that the idea OF a preliminary
conference a lead only to a repe-
tition of the Versailles conference
where important questions had to be
decided by the council of four be-
fore being submitted to representa-
tives of smaller nations making up
the assembly.

BERLIN, Aug. 22.-The German
newspapers continue wholly unin-

peace negotiations between the
United States and Germany.
In the absence of official reports,
they give space TO news taken from

fuses to give out the result of nego-
tiations between their representa-
tives and the United States represent
tatives in regard to the peace pact,
in accord with the request of the
United States.
Despite the strictness maintained
it is known that the parley has vir-
tually been completed, and that the
adoption only awaits the approval of
Secretary of State Hughes.
The treaty will defer to n future
date adjustment of commercial and
financial matters.
Friends of Wilhelm Kuna, general
manager of the Hamburg-American
line. are urging him to take the Ger

ing to have Herr Kuna accept the

COUNTERFEIT MONEY IS
PASSED IN THIS CITY

Real counterfeit none again
made its appearance in the city on
Saturday when a bogus SO note was
received at the Boston confectionery
on State street. The latest fake bill
is not of the raised variety, several
of which have been in circulation
here lately, but is the ordinary coun-
terfeit bill, made of imitation treas
ury paper and falsely printed
throughout.
Chief of Detectives Lawrence A.
Long says that the entire country is
experiencing an epidemic of raised
bills, but that the old time counter
felt has become rare. Not long ago,
said Lieutenant Long, a magazine
came out with a big story telling the
methods used by raisers of bills and
showing how easy it was to increase
the denominations of the paper cur
rency by altering the numbers. Since
the appearance of the article raised
bills have been common all over the
country. In some cases the corners
of good bills are torn off and super
imposed upon the bills of lower de-
nomination while in other instances
the original numerals are removed
through friction and the raised mum
bers pasted in, Lieutenant Long
stated.

threatened to shoot himself but his
talk was never taken seriously by
his acquaintances.
According to the officers report
the man has a daughter in Trenton
and two sons in Elizabeth. The
county detectives investigating the
affair in order to determine whether
1t was a case of murder or suicide,
decided that it was purely suicide

WANDERING METUCREN BOY
AGAIN VISITS THIS CITY

Harold Scruggs, a colored lad four
teen years old, residing occasionally
at Metuchen, has developed the wan
derlust to an extraordinary extent,
according to Lieutenant Lawrence A..
Long, of the local detective bureau.
The boy has been picked up at least
sixteen times by the police in various
parts of the city and last night he
voluntarily reported to the station
and asked for a nights lodging.
Harold's father lives in Metuchen
and the boy wishes to remain with
him. but his mother. whose home is
in Westfeld. wants her boy to live
there. Harold claims his stepfather
mistreats him. AS a result. the boy
is continually running away from
Westfield and going to his father in
Metuchen.
Last night, Harold said. he came
to Perth Amboy to attend a meeting
of the boy scouts and afterward Wis
tied for a time with a friend. At
tempting to board the last bus for
Metuchen he was refused passage
by the driver because on a previous
| occasion a bus driver was fined $40
for allowing the boy to ride.
The boy then reported to the po-
lice station and vas kept over night.
Lieutenant Long is in a quandary
as to what disposition to make of the
case. He says that the lad has never
been detected in any wrong doing
and that he has never caught him
making a false statement in the
course of the many examinations he
has received at the police station
The boy always tells a straightfor-
ward story and is freed by the au-
thorities but invariably starts to
wander away from his home at Me
tuchen and Westfield.
Once more the boy will be releas-
cd from custody and told to stay al
home.
