MRS. HARDING
SLIGHTLY BETTER
Gravest Anxiety Still Felt
Over Condition of Pres
ident's Wife
FEW HOURS WILL
DECIDE OPERATION

President Wearied by Long Vigil - Last
Night Best In Several Nights for His
Wife = Senate Page Leaves Copy OF
21st Psalm.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Although
the critical illness of Mrs. Harding, wife
of the President was still causing the
gravest anxiety, she was understood to-
day to be still holding the slight i'm
provement in her condition yesterday
and last night. On the turn of her con-
dition within the next few hours, it was
said, probably would depend the decision
as to the advisability of an operation.
President Harding, wearied by the
long vigil which he has kept at the bed
side, left the sick room to retire at about
II o'clock, yielding to the urgent advice
of the doctors.
For the first time in the four days of
Mrs Harding's desperate illness she was
attended last night by only one nurse.
Secretary Weeks, who called at the
White House this morning, announced
that Mrs. Harding had spent the best
night in several nights and that the
slight improvement which set in yester-
day was continuing.
Among the many callers at the White
House yesterday was Rick Riddle, a
senate page, who had known the Presi.
dent as a senator, and whose father died
some time ago. The boy took his faith
er's most highly-prized gift, framed
copy of the Dist Psalm. and left it at
the White House door with the wish
that it might be given to the President
believing that the words would strength
en- him.
As the boy turned away, an old Negro
hobbling on a crutch, passed to an at
tendant single flower, carefully
wrapped in paper. He asked that il
might be given to the Presidents wife.

No Connection with HOughtOn ST
monds Burglary - Jews with Furs
Apparently Reliable.
The grocery store of Samuel Wells &
Son on South Main street was broken
into last night and a quantity of
cigars and canned goods were taken
The break is thought to have taken
place shortly after midnight 1t is not
known how many persons were impll-
Gated in the burglary nor has it been de-
cided how entrance was effected. Other
breaks have taken place at the Wells
store within short time.
It was learned today that the~Vaetsch
bakery, located across the street from
the Wells store, was broken into early
in the morning Of Aug. %. At that time
a bag containing between $50 and $40
in change was taken. Mr.. Vaetsch said
today that the affair was mys-
terry to him as he was certain that his
front door was locked by him on the
evening previous, yet when he went to
work at g o'clock the next morning he
found the front door unlocked. All
other doors and windows were fastened
securely. Furthermore, nothing was
disturbed and whoever took the bag of
money knew exactly where it was To-
Gated because there was no evidence of
amy search for the money.
The clue which came from Bridge
water in connection with the Houghton
4 Simonds dfygoods store burglary was
run down by the local officers Saturday
and Sunday The two Jews who were
selling fur coats and rugs in Bridge
water when observed by a relative of
Mrs. B. f. White, who telephoned the
information to officials here, We're over
taken in Rutland. where Special Officer
Evan Sargent observed their Dodge car,
which bore New York number plates.
The two men in question gave informa
tion readily as to their previous where
abouts and said they were in Brattleboro
Aug. 81, where they were trying to sell
fur coats. They were carrying a supply
of goods valued at $1,000 and are ap
parently reputable and reliable. They
also gave information as to where they
had been since leaving New York city
several weeks ago and this information
has been checked up and found correct.
Major G. Houghton and Arthur p. ST.
monds, who also went to Rutland, were
unable to identify any of the coats in
the possession of the Jews.
Officials are still working on the case.

famous by Kate ClaxtOn, The Two
0rnhans." will be seen for the first
time under a United Artists Corpora
ton release in this city at the Latchls
Theatre today, tomorrow and Wednes-

The production represents months
of preDara ton and a most careful
study of the period depicted, the time
of the French Revolution. The basis
of the story is the famous old play,
but Mr.. Griffith has woven into It an
historical romance with the thrills OF
some of the maddcst days of the revo-
luton. The guilIotine is seen at its
deadly work and there are tremendous
crowds of frantic men and women
fighting wildly against the arlstOcrat
in the hope of freedom.
In the role of Henriette is Lillian
Gish, whose work in former Griffith
productions has placed her at the fore
front of screen artists. Dorothy Gish
has the role of the blind girl, Louise,
the other orphan. Then there Is
Joseph SchiIdkraut. said to be the
handsomest actor in all Europe and
who made such sensational SuCCesS
in the leading role of "Liliom." in
New York He is seen as the roman
tic lover of Henriette, the Chevalier de
Vaudrey. Monte Blue, known to all
the patrons of the screen, has the role
of Danton. Sidney Herbert, another
artist of high repute and achieve
Inent. is the Robespierre. He was
for twelve years in the famous old
Augustin DAILY company. Creighton
Hale. who will be remembered as the
butterfly professor of Way Down
East" has a part and Frank Puglia
is cast as Pierre Another noted
member of the cast is Kate Bruce, re

the World" Way Down East, and
other Griffith productions. Frank
Losee, Catherine Emmett, Morgan
Wallace. Lucille La Verne, Sheldon
Lewis. Leslie King, Lee holmer,
Adolphe Lestina, and others are IN
the company.
There is veritably an army OF
extras for the numerous big scenes
of the play, not only in revolutionary
| Paris, but also at the tribunal and III
the court of Versailles where many
beautiful fetes are held.-Adyertise-
ment.

fenced in its judgments by his
emotions. He seemed prone to
take violent sides in court cases,
and his judgments seemed swayed
by that fact. His action in filming
the Standard Oil company $2e,-
00o, 000 for a purely technical of
tense, if any offense against the
law at all, was a cas- in point. A
re4trial Of that case brought a yer
dict of not guilty from a jury.
Now we have little personal
knowledge of the mental character
of the new judge Of the supreme
court, but as he has the warm in
dorsement of men of high charac-
ter and keen insight we are Of the
opinion that Pierce Butler will
make a just Judge and be in no way
influenced in his conduct on the
bench by the fact that his previous
employment has been largely as ad-
wiser to railroads, At any rate he
is now a member Of the supreme
court bench, secure for life in that
position, and one of the youngest
members Of that high court. In
fact, we think the youngest. We
hope he will make good and we be-
lieve he will.
