WET GOODS GALORE
 BUT MAN WITH A
 THIRST MUST MOURN
By AsrocInted Press

New York, June l1.-Uncle sam will soon hold the greatest acution of wet goods in the world. About s30, 900 worth of bonded liquor, confiscated in New York since the Volstead act became effective will be placed under the hammer. If S5,e0O.- 000 is realized the government will be happy.
 But this auction will be a semi private affair. The man with a thirst, regardless of the condition O. his pocketbook, will not get an op- portunity to participate, except pos sibly in the role of g mournful spec tator on the sidelines. The only bid ders will be persons duly licensed to deal in alcohol or have 1t i'll their possession. Some of the liquor may be given away to hospitals if there are no bidders.
 The principal reason for holding the auction is that the warehouse where the liquor is now stored, Is crowded to capacity. In this glo- rified bar room Is stored every kind of intoxicant known in the dry era. There are something like 33, 900 cases of rare old whisky brandy, gin and wine; more of the same in 5000 bar rels, to say nothing of hundreds upon hundreds of demijohns, bottles and flasks.
 Marshal Zig Tom) Mccarthy has been designated as auctioneer.

 The rehearsals, in the presence or the landlord, supply the central epi- sodee of the production and are the most beautiful sequences of scenes ever screened. They were taken un- der the direction of Jamese F. Abbe. celebrated New York photographer, specially engaged by Mack Sennett for the purpose.
 The slave mart of ancient Rome is shown wherein more than 100 beau tiful captives are brought and KaIla Pasha, In the guise of a Nero mi nded person, bids against the gallant and heroic Eddie Gribbon, recently from the country but built like a gladiator
 Out of these episodes Phyllis Haver emerges in the radiance of loveliness not to be duplicated on the screen, and she rounds out picture of un- usual beauty.

Lawrence, Mass, June l1.---Citizens here have raised a large fund, to save a giant elm from the wood choperS ax- Legend says that more than century and half ago young soldier returning from the French and indian wars, stopped for the night at the Bodwell homestead in this city. He was without money but in the morning he sought to do something in return for the kindness shown him. Mrs Bodwell suggested that more shade was needed at the south west corner of the house, and so the soldier went into the woods. brought back an elm sapling, planted it, and went his way
 The old gables house, sheltered through the years by the elm grown to splendid proportions, recently changed hands and word went out that, the tree was to be cut down. A movement to save the ancient land mark was started, the owner agreeing to sell the entire property without profit. School children have had large part in raising the required $10,000 It is proposed to use the house as the headquarters of a his- tortcal society but the purchase of the building is only incidental to the saving of the famous elm.
