Parks prohibition officer in charge
of this district, an investigation is
made by federal agents to ascertain
whether or not there is collision be-

That the recent arrest of four At

allowing rum runners to pass through

tai of officers arrested since jan
uary 1, 1928 on similar charges up
to nine was the statement he made

Mr.. Parks stated that with very

situation in this part of the state

BARTHELEMESS INTRODUCES
NEW HERO TO SCREEN.

Ever hear of a motion picture
hero who engages in duel and
loses it? who participates in death
grapple with another fellow and does
not "get" the man though the lat
ter drops dead from heart failure?-
who makes love to a beautiful wo-
man and at the same time remains
true to his real sweetheart?-and
who, despite all these things still
remains a hero?
We guess not. And yet this is the
entirely different sort of hero that
Richard Barthelmess is introducing
on the screen today and Tuesday at
the Rylander theater in The Bright
Shawl" Also in the cast is Dorothy
Gish, who gives a splendid perfor-
finance.
Barthelmess, if all reports are to
be believed is a mighty convincing
and realistic hero at that. Also, a
very much beloved one.
Romance? He fell in love with
the fairest daughter of q fine Cuban
family; but he also pretends to be in
fatuated with a beautiful Spanish
dancer-to gain valuable informa
ton for the rebels.
Fight? He crosses sword with the
most expert swordsman in Cuba,
fights until he drops from utter ex-
haustion, and is so greatly respected
by his enemy that his life is saved.

Bailey is fifteen pounds heavier

toughest fight he ever had. He has
been in secret training, preparing
for the battle and is determined to
defeat Stribling, if posible-a thing
which only three other men have

These facts have been established,

groes who have returned to the
South, after finding conditions far
different from the pictures painted

Those who are familiar with con-

duce negro labor from the South

the 1921 immigration law by which
a ban was placed upon unrestrict-

meet merely a temporary construc-
