What Ten Commandments

HANG your heads with shame you who enjoyed The
IL Ten Commandments" film here recently.
Didn't you know that the hierogyphc cartouches on the
gateway Scupured when they should have been cut
in TO be Egyptologicaly oorrect2
Weren't you torn between laughter and pain 10 see those
of SphinXes staring up into the air instead OF
ytraight ahead?
Wasn't it ridiculous that Miriam sister of Moses should
nave had a modern Bedouin headdress on her brow?
And didn't it simply spoil everything for you that
Pharaoh prayed to the Gods Anubs and khepera when
anybody knows that he should have spent the night before
the altar of Amen if he wished life restored TO his son.
At any rate the Archaeological Society of Washington
felt all these emotions The latest issue of their monthly
magazine points out all the garing discrepancies in this
latest spectacle motion picture.

Psychologists will cut into Cecil b. DeAlles profits to

the criticism Mr.. DeMle is probably fattered TO
have the undivided attention of those remote and erude
scientists turned upon him.
Wonder how they happened to pay much attention
to the movies of sudden! Doesn't it seem just little
far fetched to worry about those details when people

Committee Prepares TO
DeIve Into La Toilette
'SIush Fund Charges.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Men df-
rectly involved in Senator La Fol
lette's charge a huge 'slush fund
was being raised by Republican
bankers and business interests to
buy" the election for President
Coolidge were scheduled to appear
today before the special Senate COM
mittee investigating campaign ex-
penditures.
All preliminary inquiry into the
extent Of party war chests having
been completed, Chairman Borah
announced the committee was pre-
pared to go TO the bottom of La Fol
Iette's charges.
c. Bascom Slemp, secretary to
President Coolidge, named by the
Independent candidate as the man
who was to disburse the 'slush
fund" probably will be called. Sena-
tor Caraway, Arkansas, Democratic
member Of the committee. said to-
day.
At the session this afternoon, Jo-
seph P. Grundy of Philadelphia,
chairman Of the ways and means
committee of the Republican ma
ttonal committee. will be the star
witness when the Investigators begin
to dig into the source Of funds
raised by Republicans in Pennsyl-
vania.
Borah is determined to learn pur-
poses for which they were to be
used and what promises, il any,
were made by Grundy and his asso-
ciates in return for the contribu-
tons.
Grundy is promised an "uncom-
Portable half hour" by Caraway,
who is noted for his sharp tongue.
Frank P. Walsh. PERSONAL attor-
ney for La Toilette, who was said to
have additional evidence on which
he intended to question Grundy and
his associate, Samuel Untermeyer,
are to be permitted to examine
witnesses.
In the same connection, Edward
T. Stotesbury, Philadelphia, men,
mer of J. P. Morgan & Co. and Sam
uel NJ. Vauclain. president Of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works will be
questioned. Both were named by
La Toilette as participating in a
conference when the collection of
the alleged "slush fund" was ar
ranged.
t. V. O'Conner vice president of
the shipping board will be given an
opportunity to lay before the com
mittee evidence on which he
charged funds are being supplied to
the La Follette-WheeIer campaign
by the soviet government of Russia.
Borah is particularly interested in
this angle, he said.

BOND SITUATION
STILL TANGLED
Police Charge Dennis Has
Broadened Activity,

Police and City Judge Delbert O.
Wilmeth today appeared no nearer
settlement of the controversy
growing out of the bonding situa-
ton at city prison than on Tues
day when the board of safety ad-
vised Chief Herman F. Rikhoff to
seek a settlement.
Wilmeth directed Probation Officer
Dennis to release or refuse bond for
all prisoners whose bail is under
$400 at hours when the judge was
not at police headquarters building.
Police say Dennis is letting some
prisoners whom they particularly
want detained so on their own
recognlzance.
Today police charged that Dennis
had broadened his activity by re-
fusing to permit a professional
bondsman to sign bail for Juvenile
court prisoner. Police contend
Judge Wilmeth has no jurisdiction
over Juvenile court prisoners.
