Tennessee Hermitage Loses $1,OOO,000 In Disas-
 trous Blaze Sunday

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Nov. 1S.-The Tennessee Hermitage grain elevator, office building and power house. to- gether with the contents. 5oo,Ooo bushels of corn, oats and, wheat. the largest elevator in the Nashville dis trict, was totally destroyed by fire here late today with loss estl- mated at $1,00O 900, by Charles D. Jones of Charles D. Jones x Co.,, grain brokerage firm, owners of the strue- ture. The elevator, which Is located on the Tennessee Central railroad north of the city, was filled With grain at the time. The cause of the fire is believed to have been spon- taneous combustion. The same eleva- tor caught fire last Thursday night, the blaze being caused by combus- ton in the oat dryer room, but this first blaze was quickly controlled. Sundays blaze proved impossible to control, the fire department being unable to secure sufficient water, as the structure is located outside the city limits and the private water sup ply proved inadequate.
 Sparks from the flaming structure were carried more than a mile dls- tant. falling in large quantities upon the Monroe Harding orphanage and the state vocational school for negro girls. More than a hundred resi- dences, within the. radius of a mile away, were also endangered by the flying sparks.

AUTO TAG POSITION UNDER POLICE FIRE
Recent Difficulty In Checking Brings Warning That City
 Law Must Be Observed


 Recent difficulty in checking up on auto tags where machines have been involved in accidents has led to the announcement from police headquar- ters that in the future auto tags must be fixed in the rear of the ma chine in conformance with the regu- lations contained in article 54 of the city automobile law. M
 This provision requires that the tag shall be hung on the rear of the automobile in such way as to afford an unobstructed view of the numerals. The tag must be fixed right side up and kept in as good condition as possible. The practice by some drivers of fastening the tag inside the spare tire rack or par tially under the body where it is diff ficult to read is a violation of this section of the ordinance and will re- ceive the same treatment as though the tag were defaccd.
 The police department is tighten ing up on the traffic violators. Tags found in improper condition will be treated as any other violation of the traffic laws. In making this an nouncement, police officials referred to difficulties in obtaining correct tag numbers in accidents happening recently as the result of traffic vio- latiOnS -t-f-s

Claim They Have Had No Speaking Stage Experi-
 enCe And Fear Failure

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1S.--The rift between the movies and the legiti mate stage is widening with the passing of time and the induction of new film stars, it was indicated at the actors fund benefit. when a score of picture stars refused to take part in the entertainment because they had had no experience before the footlights.
 They claimed to be afraid of act ing before an audience and begged that they be excused.
 Among those who did appear were Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks John Barrymore, Adele Rowland Carmel Myers and Conway Tearle,
 One prominent actor said that he felt appearing before an audience re- qulred training and technique that isn't learned or necessary before a camera.
 If I fail before the camera a di- rector can retake a scene." he said. 'If I fail before an audience, there is no way of rectifying the mistake. I have no stage presence that I am aware of.
 "All my work has been done before the camera, and I have not the slightest conception of how to handle my voice in acting"
 One director of the benefit says the day has come when film players can no longer dash out without a thought as to what they have to do to en- tertain an audience. He believes pub lie appearances would enhance mo- tion picture players pgestige, pro- vded the necessary training is se- cured,

 Phone List

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Nov. 1S.- George NJ. Sunday, a prominent realty broker, and son of Billy sun day, the famous evangelist, attempted to take his life Sunday by inhaling gas in his fathers fashionable Will shire district home, according to the police.
 Sundays name appeared in list taken by federal prohibition officers from a local bootlegger two days ago. The prohibition chief here announced that all persons whose names were listed in the bootlegger's directory would be called for questioning be- fore the United States federal grand jury.
 According to the police report, Of ficers Weaver and Feel went to the Sunday home in response to a call from a person unidentified. who told the mover the telephone that sui eide had taken place at the Sunday residence.
 When the officers arrived, accord ing to their report. they found Dr. James Johnson caring for Sunday. Ernest Holm, Sundays chauffeur, told the officers, they said, that the man was George Sunday, son of the evangelist.
 Both Sunday and Dr. Johnson re- fused to talk to the officers and they left the house when the chauffeur said:
 That's all, boys; we're through with you"
 Members of Sundays family later denied that the son of the evangelist had attempted to take his life, al- though they refused to youchsafe a statement
