accused of robbing Cougar
John McDermott, 315 Pennsylvania

s4O0 in war savings stamps, was
made possible last night. according
to the police.
The arrests, made by Headquar-
ters Detectives Edward Kelley and
Policeman Jacob Wolfe, followed a
thrilling motor chase through the
Capitol grounds.
McDermott told police that he
was walking through Armory court
yesterday afternoon when the Rob-
inson woman. running up from be-
hind threw her arms around him.
He declared that despite his efforts
to free himself, she clung to him
while the Johnson woman went
through his pockets.

of fun. The dancing specialties OF
Duthers and Murray were well re-

The scenery and costumes of the

This Beauty Revue" Is a lively
burlesque bit. due. presumably to
the untiring efforts of Jimmie Coop

handle the show from the wings
instead of holding the stage as long
as he does. It's good burlesrue.
