justified. "Bunty Pulls the Strings
is a genuinely good picture, and its
cast is the nearest thing to real
ALI star aggregation that has been
seen in Bemidji in many days.
"Bunty Pulls the Strings" is a
Scotch story-a love story in seven
parts. So carefully has the picture
been staged IAN entire Scotch village
having been constructed especially
for it on the Goldwyn studio lot in
California; that one can readily
imagine himself glimpsing actual
in Scotland. 1t is the
tale of canny Scotch girl whose
ready wit and willingness to sacrifice
her own happiness to get her family
out of financial tangle provide Miss

Corporation Ct, '~ 20 e>a 7 Mayor Cannot ke.-
 Him, Pays Tribute to His Ability-Says He's Inno- cent Until Proved Guilty.

New Haven, Dec. 3O.--Mayor David E. Fitzgerald has been advised by Corporation Counsel Bennett that he has no power to remove Building h. spcctor Joseph E. Austin, who is one of three men held by Coroner Mix as criminally responsible for loss of life in the Rialto theater fire.
 Judge Bennett further says that proceedings to remove Austin would be futile. He also pays tribute to MT. Austin's ability and service and says of the coroners report;
 This report is in no respect proof of the charge made, nor is it even eVi- dence of the truth. It represents the opinion of the official and charges a crime. Whether the charge is true or not must be determined after a trial in court
 "The building inspector in common justice is entitled to the presumption that he is innocent until proven guilty in court. His defence has not been presented. As an officer he is known to me and I think to you to be of the highest integrity and of the greatest care anu Shllt III lllt diull llllSlFdllOll Dl his department through many years.
 Mayor Fitzgerald, after receiving the opinion said he would not do any thing to prejudice Mir. Austin. The only thing he would do would be to proceed under the charter to prefer charges and afterwards hold a hear ing on them. AS the hearing and a possible appeal to the courts on an adverse finding might open up many questions, the opinion of MT. Bennett means that an injustice might be done MT. Austin and jeopardize his case when it came to trial in the criminal courts. The opinion the may or said did not mean that he could not act Independently. He said She public is interested and wants only justice done, so 'I ask a little pa tience in this natter for everything will come out satisfactorily"

DECLINE ' '4' cEPT REMOVAL
Christian Science Publish. ing Society Has New
 Problem on Its Hands

Boston, Dec. 30.-The board of di- rectors of the First Church of Christ tScientist) today announced the re- moval of the board of trustees of the Christian Science Publishing society. The trustees at the same time insist ed that they were still in office and that the fact that their resgnations had been offered to the supreme court placed jurisdiction solely in the courts hands.
 The removal announcement was made at the close of a hearing called by the directors who demanded that the trustees show cause why they should not be removed.
 The trustees had been charged by the directors with msmanagement of the affairs of the society which, the supreme court held recently after long litigation was subordinate to the board of directors of the mother church. The directors, the court held, had the power of removal of the trus- tees.
 The two trustees, Herbert w. Eus- tace and Paul Harvey did not appear but Sherman L. Whipple, an attorney entered protest formally questioning the jurisdiction of the directors. The third place on the board of trustees was formerly held by Lamont Row lands of Picayune. Miss, whose re- moval by the directors was upheld by the court.
 It was announced that the question of the directors authority to remove under the existing circumstances would be argued before Justice Cros- by of the supreme court this alter noon.
 ' The position Of the trustees was given in the following statement:
 'The trustees have filed their reslg- nations with the court This gives the court jurisdiction in the matter The directors no longer have jurisdiction and the trustees do not recognize that the attempt at, removal is eff fective The whole matter IS Tn the hands of the court"
