THE FIRE pATRoL"-LYCEuM

Throughout the l.yceum produc- ton "The Fire Patrol" suspense Is so cleverly aroused in each situation that the picture could develop noth- ing but thriller. For instance, in one scene the characters are so delft ly dispersed that Molly Thatcher, played by Madge Bcllamy, is left alone in the house, The villain has led the blind old sea captain to the edge of the cliit.aud left him there to walk hclplessly over the edge. The hero. whom Johnny llarron plays, is out with Molly's sister and the lat ter is crying when in Crecps WeaV- cr the man everybody hates. He comes slowly with his evil purpose written all over his face and until the succeeding scenes shows the re- suit there's real suspense.
 The accompanying vaudeville of ftring bring Tojetti and Bennett, clever dancers; Dot Raymond, a pretty little singing comedienne Wagner and Helen in "The Bell Boy of Egypt" an unusually tricky illu- slon act: and the Mysterious Revue, a very entertaining number set to catchy music.
 Starting Thursday is the second episode of Tight and Win" of the Jack Dempsey series, and the charming Mae Murray in "Circe, the Enchantress."

DEFENSE CLAIMS
 MAJOR SHOT SELF
Will Seek to Prove CrOnkhite
 Was Not Murdered

Tacoma, Wash. Oct. 3.--The de- fense of Roland II. Pothier. charged with the murder af Major Alexander r. Cronkhite at Camp Lewis in October, 1918, will be based on ex- pert testimony that Major Cronk- hite's wound was self-inflicted. 1t was indicated when his trial was re- sumed today. . Decision of the defense to tntro- duce testimony of this character was said to have been prompted when physicians who attended Major Cronkhite after he was shot gave conflicting testimony as to whether the clothing of the officer contained powder burns.
 Major Henry Tucker of Phila- delphia, a physician, testified that here was q slight stain on the sleeve of Cronkhite's blouse which might have been powder burn. Tucker testified similarly before the military board of inquiry at the time of the tragedy. .....
 Lieutenant Colonel William J. Howard of Whitman, Mass. testified he found no powder burns or other stains when he examined the blouse at the time of the inquiry.
 Dr. George C. Kreutz of St. Louis, a regimental sergeant-major in the , 213th engineers, to which all three principals belonged. testified that it was his gun which Pothier carried on the day the major was shot. on the morning of October 25.
 Lieutenant Colonel Howard, sum- mary court officer. who investigated the shooting. testified he interviewed Pothier and Captain Robert Rosen- bluth, who is also charged with murder in connection with the off, cer's death.
 He stated that according to the story Pothier told him. Rosenbluth appeared after the first shot was fired by the major at tobacco tin on a post. g
 AS Cronkhite fired his second shot Rosenbluth exclaimed you missed It." the witness said. AS Cronkhite fired the third shot he said: T hit it that time"
 Then the major cooked his gun and as he raised it, it slipped and twirled backward around his finger, dischargng the fourth shot into his body win fatal effect" said How ard in repeating the story he said Pothier told him at the time of the investigation.
 The defendant further told him that he did not see the fourth shot fired and did not know the major was hit until Cronkhite exclaimed i that he had been hit, Howard tes- ttifed,
