Motion picture fans, who have
come to expect the unusual in char
acter delineation from Richard
Barthelmess, are said to be in for
more splendid entertainment when
sonny" the last production to be
| made for Associated First National
Pictures, Inc, to the Strand
Theatre today. AS in his previous
pictures Barthelmess has taken, for
his leading character. a very simple
and human figure and endowed him
with an intense appeal.
While the star is said to have a
dual Interpretation in Sonny" Il is
with the figure of Joe Peters that
the story mostly concerns itself. ice
is a product of the Hoboken saloons.
poolrooms and water front. Born in
squalor and educated by such knowl-
edge as he has been able to CLEAN
through contact with the toughest
kind of associates. he finds himself
suddenly thrust into the most uxurl-
Gus and cultured surroundings.
His new position is due to n of
the strangest and pathetic freaks OF
the war;. He finds that he not only
has to accustom himself to the els
gance of ~affluence, but also to pa,li-
ate a blind mother who touches
his heart strings in a n that no
other human being has ever been
able to.
From this unique situation there
evolves a drama of tense interest,
combining the pathos of Broken
Blossoms with the stirring appeal
of ''Tol'able David" but centering
around characters entirely different
from those presented in Barthelmess'
former pictures.

Coming to the Majestic

Honest to goodness, a fellow can
break his arm while Jerking soda.
Best proof of 1t is Frank Masters
who really owes his position on the
stage to the fact hat while dispens-
ing soda in a Broadway drug store in
the theatrical district he fractured
his arm.
Frank Masters is now one of the
dancing features in the big Winter
Garden extravaganza, THE Passing
Show" which will appear at the Ma
iestic theatre on Thursday night,
November 9, but but it was only
about six years ago that he left his
home in Jackson, Miss, to wrestle
for fame and fortune in New York
He started humbly enough and the
broken arm looked like a terrible
catastrophe. After the arm had set,
Masters whiled away his time by
dancing to await the time when his
arm would be sufficiently strong to
jerk soda again.
BY that time, however, he couldn't
get his old job back but he landed
another as dresser to Ed Wynn, the
comedian. Wynn liked the young
fellow and was amused by his South
ern drawl and his proficiency at imi-
tating the dancers in the company
and also his ability to devise steps
which were marvels of i~ntricacy.
Convinced that Masters had extra
ordinary talent in this direction ne
urged the youth to seek a stage po-
sition. Masters, however, was quite
satisfied with his job and liked his
associations. Finally, in desperation
and in all friendliness, Wynn fired

him a punch on the nose if he didn't

THE FREEHOLDERS TODAY

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 20
The plans for improvement of the
Hole in the Wall" between Me-
c~hanicsville ans South Amboy,
which for the past year has been
discussed between the freeholders
and the Pennsylvania Railroad, has
finally reached the hand of the Tree
holders, who it is believed, will take
the matter up at this afternoons
session and a decision is expected.
The death of the father of Fred

on the part of the freeholders this
afternoon, although the members
are eager to get the improvement
underway AID bids for the work
will be advertised at once 1t is
the aim of the frceholders to COM
plete the belated improvements be-
tore the winter.
The ~freeholders expect to receive
this afternoon from the state high
way commission their acceptance of
tho Old Bridge-Matawan road plans
that were submitted to them last
week. The state commission ia
vors the completion of the unim-
proved strip of about four miles. SO
as to relieve the congestion of traffic

work will be completed before next

Milton Stills at DitmaS

The desert may lack many Things
but there is no scarcity of bugs! This
applies, at least, to the desert" near
Oxnard, California, where George
Melford made the scenes for Burn
ing Sands" featuring Wanda Haw-
ley and Milton Stills, at the Dftmas
theatre.
The myriads of moths futtering
about in the lighted space before
the camera always a problem of
night shooting" in a weather.
Several schemes have been devised
for getting rid of them. One is a
machine with a powerful suction
fan which draws the winged pests
into a wire cage. Another scheme
used by Tom White, production su-
perintendent Of the George Melford
Company, was to place strong lights
Immediately over pans of crude oil.
The futterers fall into this and per
ish. For both of these to be effec-
tive, it was necessary to turn off,
from time to time, all lights except
the decoy lights of the traps.
Another plan, used by Paramount
on location at Balboa. was to place
a powerful ~'.sun-arc' lamp a short
distance from the actual shooting
site, and throw it's beams away from
the actors. All other lights were
then turned off and the moths flew
to the great beam of light. Then
the working lights were turned on,
and the seen quickly shot" before
the bugs got back.

Great progress was shown at the
Injecting OF the Armistice Day Com

John Mcbride, chairmen of the

A report from the Tall Cedars
showed that they had secured their
band and would have 200 or
more in hne for the parade.
Mr. alquisit, of the industrial
coYfnittee, reported that his COM

factories close all day on November

The Chief of the Fire Department

The tender manner in which his

compared to the fiendish slashing of

MANY ISSUES IN
WOODBRIDGE CAMPAIGN

re
The town hall fight has resolved
itself about a wet and dry question
as some one jokingly has put it. The
Republicans favor the purchase of
the temperance lot for the site of
the much needed building, while the
Democrats favor the continuation of
the construction of the hall on the
original site in School street. The
original site is located on a marsh
which it has been suggested could
be filled in at little expense and
made into a park. while the temper
ance lot is dry both in fact and in
name Thus the wet and dry issue
develops.
The question of paving materials
for the various streets of the bor-
ough is an issue of considerable
Importance. Some time ago the
paving material was changed from
asphalt block to concrete. Many
persons prefer the asphalt block
paving to that of concrete and this
by election day may become one of
the most important issues of the
campaign.
Indications at this time are that
the election here will be of more
than passing interest as there are a
large number of votes to be gotten
out, the total registration being
5,172, which is considerably more
than last year and means that the
people are going to take advantage
OF their suffrage.
1t is whispered in some quarters
that the condition of Hurds Brook
may become one of the important
Issues of the campaign before the
contest is definitely settled.

Mrs. Mills
Killed by Accident Says

BY MARY e. HAMILTON

BY MARY Il. HAMILTON
Noted Woman DETECTIVES; First Po-
Iicewoman in New York; Formerly
Head of Woman's Police Precinct;
Now Special Investigator Attached
to Commissioner Enright'S Office.
, NEW YORK. Oct. 26-It is utter
ly criminal that bungling of curious
people destroyed practically every
trace of evidence when the bodies
of Rev. MI. Hall and Mrs. Mills
| were found.
Fingerprints, had they been pre-
served. probably would have dis
closed the murderers long ago.
There is scarcely any doubt that
this was a professional MURDER
mean, accomplished by hired assas-
sins.
Also it is reasonably clear that
jealousy and revenge were the basic
motives.
Questions Authority of Letters
1t is not so clear, however, what
person or persons were thus mott
waited. A major point entirely over
looked thus far is that most people
seem to have jumped to the conclu-
sion that the numerous published
letters indicate a close friendship
between Rev. Mr.. Hall and Mrs.
Mills.
I question whether the letters are
authentic. I would want the PEN
manship tested thoroughly.
Did the rector. admittedly an I'M
usually intelligent man, write all
those letters? Could Mrs. Mills have
written the letters attributed to her?
Perhaps they did write them. But
the letters might have been written
by some clever outsider. Either be-
fore or after the murder. That is
important-before or after.
In trying to solve this mystery I
would consider all these points.
First, though, 1 would try to imag-
inc what happened at the scene.
I would investigate that telephone
call Rev. Mr.. Hall received the night
the two disappeared-the night he
was seen on the street with a drawn
and haggard face.
Shot by Mistake
Consider that telephone call. Build
up from there-and you have such a
totally different, and entirely plau-
sible, theory as this:
That the assassins never intended
to kill him. Perhaps they intended
to kill Mrs. Mills-or maybe tar and
feather her-but certainly to punish
her.
That Rev. Mr.. Halls share Of
punishment was to take the form of
being compelled to witness her
death or humiliation-and a tele-,
phone call was Sent to him sum-
mon1ng him to the scene.
That the rector put up more of a
fight in Mrs. Mills defense than was
anticipated. Perhaps he tried to
rescue her, and even got her away
from her captors-and the two were
fleeing.
That a shot was fred-at her, not

The milk investigating committee, headed by Alderman Eugene c. J.

A resolution will be introduced asking the council to present a bill to the state legisla- ture, authorizing the city to set the price of milk here.

farm will have nothing to do with raise in price.
 We also conferred with City At torney John A. Cornell as to our pow CTS. We find that they are very limited so after submitting our re- port to the council we will petition for further powers. We will ask for a blanket appropriation to cover the expenses.
 Alderman Kelly said today "the ad- ditiona1 measures will be introduced so that the investigation will not be a farce, similar to the one two years ago. In the investigation to be conducted the mmittee will seek in- formation from other cities relative to the prices of milk in those cities as compared with Bridgeport. Farm CTS, said to be underpaid for their milk. will be interviewed and asked to submit their opinions on the mat ter. Dealers of milk and large dis tributors will also be asked to sub init their views

He and Michael Collins led the fight for the treaty, the constitution and the Free State The chief leader on the side which was contending for a repub- lioA was Eamonn de Valera.
 Griffith was elected president of the Dail Etreann and when the Irish Provisional government was appoint ed he was named foreign secretary. Griffith had been elected to the Brit ish House of Commons on the Sim Fein ticket, but never look his seat
 Griffith was chairman of the Irish delegation which came to Lon don to negotiate the treaty.

 Griffith was arrested twice for his political agitations.

New York, Aug. 12-Damage esti- mated by the New York Central off cials at S5Oo,oOO was wrought by fire which partly destroyed Pier D on the North River front in the CentraPs West 65th street freight yards today.
 Four city fireboats, a score of rail- road tugs and all available land ap- paratus in the vicinity was called out to fight the fire which ragged hercely for more than three hours.
 A dozen fremen were overcome by dense smoke thrown off by the variegated contents of the blazing warehouse, and one fireman was pain fully burned by wet lime, which was splashed on his face and hands.
 Railroad workers ran an engine through the flames and saved train of 21 freight cars laden with jute, fish, grease, meat and other comm mod1ties, but the contents of about 50 cars which had been un1oaded in the ware house were destroyed. Fire depart ment officials said the blaze was caused by spontaneous combustion of a car load of grease.
