Suspect Held
Captain Of Detectives Washington
Rinker announced at 1875 p. m. that a
man named Rec had been arrested for
questioning in connection with the rob-
berry. The announcement did not say
who Rec was or whether he a wit
messed the robbery.
The police were notified by a motor
list from Brighton arriving In Denver
this afternoon, that he had passed an
automobile on the Denver-Brighton
road going at a terrific rate OF speed,
with one of the occupants masked and
another lying with his head hanging
over the door of the car n bleeding
profusely.
The holdup occurred in west Colfax
avenue directly in front of the main
entrance of the mint. The mint build
ing is bounded on the east by Cherokee
street and on the west by Delaware. It
fronts on west Colfax. The Federal
Reserve wagon was in charge of j. e.
| Olson, cashier of the Federal Reserve
bank. B. Havenor was driver of the
car and the guards were q. i. Linton
and ]. Adams. AS the car came to a
stop the guards removed the paddock
from the door of the grated wagon
and proceeded into the mint, where
they secured the 5000. 600. The money
had been transferred from the custody
of the mint to the federal reserve bank.

ture production to be shown at the
Isis all next week. One of the moss
interesting things about The Sheik's
Wife is that the whole picture was
made in Arabia To accomplish this,
the actors had to undergo many hard
ships. Several extensive trips by cara
van into the interior of the desert
were necessary.
A base camp was established at a
large oasis and with this starting
point. many short location trips last
ing anywhere from one to three days
were made to secure especially beau
tiful bits of desert scenery. When it is
borne in mind that when the sun
shines. the temperature in Arabia
rarely goes below the 100 Il4ark, it can
be readily seen how much discomfort
the actors endured to make this spec
tacuIar photoplay.
Many times the hungry players were
forced to eat dates and palm pith
when they left camp to take these
desert scenes. Two of the minor
players suffered sunstroke and an
other actor was bitten by a scorpion.

After many promises of early re-

The production about which so
much has been said and written was
picturized by William Fox and
neither expense nor pains was spared
in the task of filming. 1t is rated
by screen authorities as real achieve
ment in motion picture art. On the
occasion of a preview showing in Los
Angeles, the Times hailed it as 'the
most brilliant comedy drama of pic
turedom." The National Board of Re-
view rated it as one of the best ten
pictures of the year.
Those who have read the book will
appreciate the immense possibilities
for humor contained therein. For the
benefit of those who haven't it might
be said that it is based On the amaz-
ing adventures of one Martin Caven-
dish, of Connecticut. who wakes up
one fine morning to find himself back

ruffian in cast iron, by name Sir

champion boxer, is the record set by
Wallace Reid in moving pictures. In
most of his pictures of late Wally

DOVER, England, Aug. 81 {By The
Associated Press. With the wind
and the rain having slackened some
what tonight the prospects seem
fairly promising for start Friday
evening by the four American long
distance swimmers in an effort to
cross the English Channei from Dover
TO some point OH the French shore.
The United States torpedo boat de-
stroyer Mccormick arrived here this
evening and Charles 10th and Sam
Richards, of Boston, agreed to take to
the water some time after nightfail
Tomorrow, with the destroyer netting
as an escort. Henry Sullivan, of
Lowell, Mass, and Walter Patterson,
Of Bridgeport, Conn, also plan to start
about the same tins.
Notwithstanding the desire of some
Of the swimmers to start alone and TO
keep their opponents in ignorance OF
the exact time and the place where
they will plunge into the water, the
commander of the Mccormick will
make last endeavor to effect an
agreement among them to start stimuli
taneously at the same spot so that the
destroyer may render equal service to
each. Sullivan is anxious TO start
alone. but 10th insists on taking the
plunge with him, as the Lowell man
holds the American endurance record
in the Channel.
During the swim the men will wear
nothing except rubber caps and gog-
giles. They will hape liberal coating
of grease as q skin protector. The
goggles are to shield their eyes from

menus made Bill exceedingly angry.
The first thing that Mccartney did
wa to make it clear to the Boxing
Commission that he was not solely re-.
sponsible for Tut Jackson and that he
was only partly his manager. The
pr ~ rights in the management of
Jackson are held by one William Pal
mer, resident and native, of Washing
ton Court House, Ohio, according to
Mccartney.
Chairman MuIdoon was not present
at the offices fthe commission when
Bill Mccartney arrived and he was en-
tertained by Commissioner Hook, who
has keen sense of the fitness of
things. Mr.. Hook made Bill perfectly
at home and listened carefully to
everything he had to say about the
battle ct Ebbets Field.
At the outset Mccartney disclaianed
all responsibility for the pre-battle
statements given out concerning Jack
sons ring prowess. He declared that
Palmer, Jackson's manager, had en-
ployed him to exploit the fighter hore
and had furnished him with all the in
formation on which his statements to
the Boxing Commission concerning the
fighter were based. This is what Nc
Carney told Commissioner Hook and
later sent out to the newspapers under
his own signature:
Palmer told me Of the many battles
jackson had engaged in and said that
he had won every one of them. Later,
during the first week in April, Jackson
knocked out Sam Iaangford in the fifth
round of their battle at Dayton, Ohio.
This impressed me as placing the
