AT THE ORPHEUM, 1t is a relief to find
a picture so well acted and such attention
paid to continuity as well as the least de-
tail of production that all need for sub
titles are absolutely unnecessary. In only
one place is it possible to detect a bit of
word. Just shows that the subtitle is the
device used by the lazy director and made
necessary Dy the careless actor.
The story is one of the most unusual that
have been put on the screen for long
time. 1t is filled with drastic interest and
is woven about some OF the most intense
situations, tho the censors or someone has
managed to complicate the climax so that
one has to puzzle it out after he leaves the
theater-
Mabel Balm is good looking, but her
husband who directed the picture did not
need to .nflict her good looks on us TO the

IS NOT PLEASED
j. A. Getty Thinks Reform
Measures Cost Too Much.
Economy and Business viii
Win Next Primary, He Says.

James A. Getty. former state sena-
tor from Wyandotte county, isn't at all
pleased with things as they are. He
thinks a little purity and reform in
government is sometimes a very good
thing. On the other hand. tho, he
feels that the charges are too high
when state taxes are boosted nearly
so per cent in a year.
Getty whose sharp tongue and
quick wit gave him recognition as one
of the strong men of the senate during
the sessions of 1919, is a born
antagonist of the reform prescriptions
for Kansas as given by a Missouri
newspaper. Box seats for the enter
tainment are selling too high" he
sarcastically remarked today as he
gave some tax figures to friends in
the state house.
Reforms Cost Too Much.
If any one wants to hear some
lusty bowling they should stand
around the court house this fall when
the taxpayers get their returns" said
Getty. Il have some doubt about the
unanimous approval of the bill for all
the reforms which have increased ex-
Penses of state government the last
Few years."
Economy and business sense will
win the next primary nomination in
the governorship race. Getty believes.
For four years." he asserted, there
hasn't been anyone in public life with
enough courage to say anything about
cutting down expenses. 1t is about
time we started back"
Getty blames the primary system
and loose methods of nominating can
didates as the prime reason for
enormous increases in state govern
ment.
Blames Primary System.
My theory is that mediocrity at
tains its height under primary sys-
tenn" he said. The best way to make
a primary campaign is with a victrola
and a set of needles and new records.
It doesn't require much intelligence
to play them. You can lull a lot of
people to sleep with soft words and
sweet music But box seats for the
entertainment are selling too high and
there may be a demand for a change
Besides. l don't believe the Missouri
newspaper ought to stay in office in
Kansas all the time. Two or three
terms ought to be enough for anyone"
Getty visited several state depart
ments today in connection with local
matters affecting Wyandotte county.
During his sessions in the senate he
was thorn in the flesh of both Gov
ernor Capper and Governor Allen.

determined upon to-day by Postmaster
General Hays in an effort to put stop

Plans for combating the increasing
number of losses through hold-ups and

and q number of postoffice inspectors.

the conference, an order declaring that

Il truckoad Of alcohol he was driving

The prisoners are Thomas Renard, of

The police of that city say that when
they arrested the pair they were re-
moving the body and license plates
from a limousine similar to that used
by the hold-up men to kidnap the truck
driver.
Moshier, when his capiors had thrust
him into the limousine and started
away, borrowed chew Of tobacco from
one of them and thereafter spat prolif-
ically, marking the interior of the
limousine in a fashion which he felt
he would be certain to recognize. Stains

With Gunner
Leach Declares Persons
Who Carry Liquor Are
Criminals and Will Be
Held as Dry Violators
al Arrested i'm Brooklyn
Magistrate Denies Right of
Policemen to Enter and
Search Without Warrants

Persons who carry hip-pocket TASKS
are now in the same class as the mar
who carries a pistol or a dirk without
a permit, according to the statement
made yesterday by John A. Leach, First
Deputy Police Commissioner, who is in
charge of police enforcement of the
new state dry laws in New York City.
"Any one carrying liquor" said the
Deputy Commissioner, "is just as much
a violator of the law as one who car.
ries pistol"
The First Deputy Police Commits
sioner is said to be in the high coun
ellis of the Methodist Church and 6
total abstainer. He predicted an early
cessation of trafficking in liquor ir
hotels, and announced that forty-one
arrests for violations of the dry Law
had been made in Brooklyn in the
twenty-four hours ended at noon yes
terday.
Alleged offenders of the dry laws ar
rested by the police continued to be ar.
raigned in magistrates courts all over
the city yesterday, and special force
was busy in the appeals bureau of tho
District Attorneys Office preparing te
present liquor cases to the grand jury
on Monday.
Assistant District Attorney Albert
Unger, in charge of the prosecution OF
liquor cases, announced that he ha:
arranged q conference Of committee
of city magistrates, headed by Chic
Magistrate William G. McAdoo, ant
representatives of the five district at
torneys of the city, for o'clocl
Wednesday afternoon, at which OBJ
scure points of the new laws will bt
taken up to bring about uniform treat
ment of offenders.
Some of the magistrates have hele
that where liquor is seized as cvidenc.
it must be analysed to determine if i
is more than one-half of one PEI
cent. Mr.. Unger said it is his opin
ion that where detectives ask fo
whisky and are served with drinks
their testimony is sufficient evidenc,
of violation. He said it is his opin
ion that chemical analysis of tn,
drinks and even the liquor itself ar,
unnecessary as evidence. But h,
added that the courts may find other
wise.
The conference also will draf
forms for drawing up complaints il
magistrates courts. 1t was said ther,
has been some confusion due to tn,
lack of these.

Army of Reds
More Than 100000 Troops
Are Said Already to Have
Been Organized as Basis
of Communistic Host
Were in Cronstadt Fight
German Spartacists Among
Recruits; New Peasant
Revolution in Siberia

RIGA, Latvia, April (By The Asso-
ciated Press). "A new international
army" which is expected to be the
basis of huge force to be available
ultimately to enforce the dictates of
the Third Internationale, is rapidly be-
ing organized in Russia, replacing the
old Red army, according to informa-
ton received here from authentic
sources. 1t already numbers more than
100000 carefully selected Communists
who participated in the first actions at
Cronstadt. - :
This force is said to be the only one
on which the Bolshevik leaders can
actually count for effective action, as
the Generalization of.-the old army is
spreading rapidly. 1t is even declared
that number of German-Spartacists
who recently reached Russia, Joined the
new army to receive training for future
employment in Germany.
There is no sign OF any Immediate
offensive campaign, the Soviet appar-
emily depending for the present on its
propaganda directed toward fomenting
strikes and unrest. Since demoraliza-
tion of the old army precludes military
ventures, it is pointed out, the Soviet
is extending it's propaganda and estab-
fishing new bureaus abroad.
A Lettish Investigator who has just
returned from Russia, reports that the
Bolsheviki are stronger politically in
the interior since the Cronstadt affair,
but economically their position con-
stantly is becoming worse and he looks
for food crisis in June.
Peasant riots in Western Siberia
are reported in advices received here
from Moscow to-day. The peasants
have revived the so-called Green army
and have occupied Tobolsk, cutting off
the town from the Transsiberian rail-
road, the advices say.
The peasant rising came as a protest
against the occupation of the railroad
from Cheliabinsk to Omsk by the
Soviet army and the expectation Of
foodstuffs over it to Moscow. The
Green army recently destroyed nearly
100000 Kilograms of grain requisi--
toned by Soviet agents and destined
fol cities in Central Russia. the advlces
say, and as consequence there Is
nothing left to requisition. The Green
army IS continuing its attacks on the
railroad.
