"THE HE'LL DiGGERS" LAST
TIME AT COLISEUM


Wallace Reid motored almost the
length OF California to make the ex-
terror scenes OF his new Paramount
picture, 'fThe He'll Diggers.' Lois
Wilson Is Mr. Reds leading woman.
II is lat the Coliseum for the last time
tonight.
Mr.. Reid appears as Teddy Oar
man, construction superintendent OF
the Continental Gold Dredging Com
Eany, operating the enormous dredge5
nieknamed 'hell diggers." This is
one OF those rediblooded roles such
as he played in "The Valley of the
Giants" and II is~>said to give him a
fine opportunity for the display of
those typical characteristics in acting
which have made him 50 popuar-his
thorough humanness, unadulterated
Americanism and vigorous young
manhood
There is plenty of excitement in
the story, and the author has made a
careful study at first hand of the
local conditions and the work of the
dredging companies. So that aside
from its story interest the picture
will be an object lesson in the mod
ern pursuit of wealth, as contrasted
with the primitive methods of min
ing the ore.

 Clave Meets Feb. 2
By Associated Press

Rome, January 25.--The body of Benedict XV will be entombed in the basicila of St. Peters tomorrow. The ceremony will take place at o'clock in the afternoon, after which the sacred college will devote itself ex. clusively to matters pertaining to the conclave, to be held February 2.
 Preparations for the funeral and the collecting and arranging of docu- ments and medals to bs placed in ths coffin occupied practically the entire day of the members of the Sacred col lege and the Vatican household. The medals include all those struck dur Ing the pontifflcate of Benedict. #
 Strict Privacy
 The funeral ceremony will be in the strictest privacy, the Vatican of ficials holding to the letter that none be admitted to the vast basicila ex- cept the Sacred college, the members of the pontifical household. diplo- matic officers accredited to the Va tican, officers of the units of the pontifical armed forces which are detailed for the ceremony according to the rites, and members of the mosi ancient families of papal nobility.
 The officials of the major domo of the Vatican, Monsignor Sag De Sam per, were besieged throughout the day by applicants for tickets to St. Peters.
 Cardinals Sister Excluded
 One elderly woman, who claimed to be the sister of cardinal and had documents in her possession corrob- orating this, was refused, 1t being ex- plained that there were positive in- structions that no additional permits should be issued. The Swiss guards were busy keeping the crowds away.
 Vhe Sacred college, upon learning that the requests for tickets from diplomats greatly exceeded the num- Der allowed by the constitution. im- mediately gave orders to suspend all Issuance of cards.

The department has more convicts than 1t is able to place because of the finan= cial condition which has reduced de- mand for labor and has increased the commission of crime.

 The bankruptcy of the company created great surprise in Montgom- cry. This coal has been chased as among the best grades. However. Legislative committees have constant ly criticised the use of convicts in the mines because of the narrow seams, which force the convicts to dig coal on their knees.
