THEATRES
At the Ditmas

Theatre will show the famous white
slave picture, 1.-The House of Bon
dage," a perturbation of Reginald
Wright Kauffman's startling book.
No children under 16 years will be
admitted. 1t is a stern ~preachment
against the white slave traffic as in
the past and at present it flourishes
in the United States. The author has
written daringly and without much
attempt at shielding any of the facts
as they exist. Lottie Piekford, sis
ter of Mary is seen in the leading
role and is supported by a large cast
of players.
At The Strand
Convicted of murder and SEN
fenced to be hanged, Bad Rufe
Tolliver, a Cumberland mountain
feudist, calmly allows himself to be
shot dead just before the time set
for his execution, so that the tradi-
ton that mo Tolliver was ever
hanged might be maintained.
This is one of the dramatic inci-
dents of the story of Mary Miles
Minter's latest Paramount picture,
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
based on the celebrated novel by the
late John Fox, Jr., which will be the
feature at the Strand theatre for
three days beginning today. Antonio
Moreno, leading man, and Ernest
Terrence, noted character actor, are
featured in the support.

l. Two Features at Crescent
At the Crescent theatre today is
a ~photoplay which has received high
praise on the score of its uncom
mon originality of story content.
Simple, unpretentious, with no BIZ
zarre costumes or gilded settings,
Fools of Fortune" is nevertheless
an outstanding attraction purely on
the strength of the originality of its
story. A
The story involves four cowboy
characters. One of their number
decides to present himself to a
wealthy Eastern family as it's long
missing heir ,on the strength OF a
newspaper story he has read. The
attitude of the three who are fore
ed into the deception adds material
to the hilarious complications ahead
of them.
Hobart Bosworth in Below the
Surface" is the other feature. i.

 Switchmen are to ask the top in- crease of 2S per cent, while firemen and enginemen will request 12k per cent. Conductors and trainmen have not yet decided upon their specific figure.
 The demands. limited at present to the strong unions, are also in pros pect from other classes of railroad workers. according to members of the United States railroad labor board.

GREATEST AERIAL
 DEMONSTRA SINCE LATE WAR
Sixty-five Planes Participate In Thrilling Exhibit
 At Boston

BOSTON, Sept. S-Sixty-five air planes flew an aggregate distance of ten thousand miles here today in one of the greatest aviation demonstra- tions since the war. The flight was held in observance of the official opening of Boston's new air port The field, located at Jeffries Point, East Boston, was the starting point for three races in which navy and army planes participated. Throughout the day flocks of naval planes whirred in formations overhead while army and civilian aircraft gave demonstrations of stunt flying and bombing.
 The army and the navy divided honors in the two chief races of the day. In the major event, a four city race, from Boston to Nashua, N H., and from there to Worcester and Providence, returning to Boston. the army captured two first places Lieut.. W. H. Hutchinson of Mitchell Field, N. Y., piloting De Haviland type covered the 16O-mile circuit in one hour, 24 minutes and 30 seconds, an average speed of III miles an hour. He was closely followed by Captain E. B. Lyon, chief of the air service in the first corps area. Two navy planes and another army plane finished less than two and a half minutes later.
 The navy carried off major honors in the other event, held in commem- oration of the flight of Claud Graham White, the British aviator in 1910 from the field to Squantum. thence to Boston Lighthouse and return. The course was laid over the same route Lieut. F. A. Davis of the U. S. s. Wright was the winner with a cor rected time for the 20-mile course of 10 minutes and seconds. Lieut.. An thony Fehr of the S. S. Langley was second and Lieut.. W. K Patter- son of the U. s. $. Wright. third. All flew in navy pr Vought planes.

EXTENSION ON
 GORGAS ASKED BY SEC. WEEKS
Alabama Power Company Is Requested By Secretary Of War For Further Time Be- cause Of New Status Of Bid PRESIDENT I. w. MARTIN IS NOM COMM UNICATIVE Believed, However, Directors Of Utility Will Be Ones To Pass On Request For Delay As Made By Government

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The gov ernment has asked the Alabama Power company to extend from Oc- tober 24 to November the time by which, according to contract the Gorgas steam power plant Is either to be removed from the lands of the power company or sold to it by the war department.
 What action the power company will take on the request has not been indicated to the war department.
 The request for the extension re- suits from the recent conference be- tween Henry Ford President Coolidge and Secretary Weeks on MT. Ford's offer to buy the Muscle Shoals prop critics. MT. Fords offer of 5000, 900 for the properties includes the Gorgas plant and he now is considering request by the government that ht modify the offer in that respect.
 Offer Includes Plans.
 MT. Ford, it was said, learned av the conference for the first time that the government has a contract with the power company by which the Gorgas steam plant is either to be sold to the company at a price of SS,500,000 by october 24 or it Is to be removed from the company's lands The company has offered to buy the plant at contract price but MT. Ford s offer of $5,000,000 for the Muscle Shoals properties includes the Cor gas plant.
 1nasmuch as the government has a contract with the Alabama Power company governing the disposal of the plant, President Coolidge and Secretary Weeks decided to Inform MT Ford of the legal complications.
 The suggestion was made that if Mir. Ford cared to revise his offer for the Muscle Shoals properties to exclude the Gorgas plant the sale price of s3,50O,000 would be credited against his $5,000,000 offer, leaving the net price for Muscle Shoals at Sl,50C.900. The Muscle Shoals de- velopment cost the government $106,- 100000 and the ordinance bureau re- ported to Congress that it's value now, if sold for junk, was $1S.000, ,000.
 A further complication is said to be found under the land law of Ala bama. under which 1t is contended that the whole plant will become the of the power company If the government falls to carry out the terms of the contract.

President Wants First Hand Information Of Executives As To Status Of Enforce ment In States Of Union TO TAKE UP PROGRAM AS STARTED BY HARDING Governor Brandon Will Give Accounting For Alabama If He Finds It Possible To Ac- cept Invitation Extended
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE HERALD ! Washington. D. O.. Sent G l

Is prohibition enforced in Ala oama? The question will be pro- pounded by the president of the United States to Governor Brandon next month if the governor accepts the Invitation of the president to confer with him in Washington.
 Last winter. the late President Harding asked the governors to come to Washington to talk pro- hibition with him. Some came, but the majority were prevented from coming because of the fact that leg islatures were in session. It was the intention of MT. Harding to issue another invitation. On suggestion of prohibition, President Coolidge nas concluded to carry out the policy, respecting this matter. of his pre- decessor.
 All governors will be urged to at tend the consultation. and it is all ready indicated that the great ma jority will accept
 From what can be learned at the White house, the president does not want the governors to tell him how and to what extent prohibition has benefited the several states. He does not want figures proving that the number of prisoners and inmates of aSyluIuS IS smaller than when .iQ Q uor was sold in legali2ed saloons.
 He wants to know whether prohi- bition Is enforced in Alabama, Geor- gia, South Carolina, Michigan, and if not why not. Especially, he wants to know if the people, generally, especially those in the so-called higher walks of life. have the prop CT regard for the constitution, ana particularly that section which de- clares intoxicating beverages contra band and beyond the legal pale.
 Q O o
 Seeks Solution.
 It Is the understanding that if the governors report that the law is not generally observed, that any indi- vidual with the price and appetite can acquire liquor, red or white, in any city of the United States at any time of the day or night the presi- dent will ask them frankly and candidly and honestly to advise him as to what means should be pursued to bring about the desired result.
 Mir. Coolidge, 1t is understood, has no academic conception that liquor, entirely, can be put out of business, But he Is said to be deeply interest ed In seeing to 1t that the law is enforced adequately and equitably
