 Lives

"The Last Hour" now playing at the Capitol theater is a powerful story told in a very telling manner. Milton Stills and Carmel Myers head cast of able and experienced players and never in their entire careers have either given a better characterization.
 The story deals with two brothers whose past lives are not above reproach The elder at the opening of the story is just returning from South America where he had made fortune while the younger has given way to crime through the needs of sick wife.
 The story runs on until finally the elder brother is brought to the brink of the gallows for a crime, which he did not commit It is all told in manner so compelling and effective that ''The Last Hour" all but reminds you of the great est of all photoplays in recent years ''Fhe Miracle Man."

Wheeler Claims Bootleg Liquor Would Swamp
 The Country
Neased Wire to Age.Heraid.) )

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Drys have rushed forward with emphatic pro- tests against the proposal to transfer the prohibition enforcement unit to the department of justice as recommended by a committee of United States cir cult judges in session here. This rec concentration, conveyed immediately by Chief Justice Taft to Attorney General Stone with the suggestion that it be embodied in his annual report, stirred drys deeply and reopened an old fight which caused President Harding con- siderable trouble.
 "We would be swamped in bootleg liquor," said Wayne B. Wheeler, gen. eral counsel of the Anti-Saloon league, in a statement protesting against the proposed transfer.
 Scores Transfer.
 "The permissive features of the law controlling industrial and non-beverage liquor cannot be appropriately trans ferred to the justice department" Wheeler said. ''The suggested plan would leave the supply for bootleg liquor with the revenue collectors, who seem more interested in collecting revenue than in preventing the diversion of liquor to beverage use. We would have a system resulting in a buck-passing contest. It would be confusion worse confounded.
 '"The weakness of the present system is at this point. The Cramton bill, adopted by the house by a majority of more than three to one, proposes to remedy this. The judges plan would aggravate it. We would be swamped in bootleg liquor.
 Takes Evidence
 "The justice department is not pri- marily an evidence-gathering depart ment. It takes the evidence collected by the various departments of govern ment and determines which cases should be prosecuted. To put the responsi- bility for all of this work in the hands of the district attorneys would jeopardize enforcement in many sec tions where these officers are now failing. They could cover their fail ures more completely under the pro- posed plan."

U. s. ILL TREATED

Oberammergau Citizens
 Believe Lang And COm- pany Were Cheated
lRy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Nov. '27.-Seeds of dissention and suspicion have been sown in the soil of ancient Oberammer- gan, Bavaria, because of dissatisfac- ton with the financial results of the visit made to the United States last winter by twelve of the principal ac- tors in the Passion play, it became known today.
 Benedikt Stuckl, as chairman of the Heimatkunst, the association into which the 1,700 inhabitants of the village have been organized, has visited Frank D. Waterman, fountain pen manufacturer, to complain against the treatment ac- corded the Passion players by their American sponsors. He told Water man, who was one of the first to un- derwrite the proposal to bring the play CTS here and who went to the village to invite the actors to America, that, all though $275,000 had been collected by - the American committee, only $10,000 had been turned over to the villagers.
 Want More Money
 The citizens of Oberammergau, Stuckl said, were dissatisfied with this amount and demanded a detailed financial statement from the players. This the actors were unable to furnish, as none had been given them, he re- lated. As result, William Lechner was deposed as chairman of the Heim- atkunst, and even the venerable Anton Lang, for thirty years the village leading citizens, the portrayer of the role of Jesus Christ in teh play, found himself under suspicion.
 Herr Stuckl was finally sent to America to obtain detailed financial statement, as he said the statement sent to the players by Michael Francis Doyle, a Philadelphia lawyer, was not explicit enough.
 Probe Started
 Waterman said he intends to find out whether there is any justice to the complaints. He explained that the play CTS were brought here by committee of about thirty men, each of whom put up $1,000 or more as a guarantee and that George Gordon Battle, the lawyer, was chairman. Some of those on the American committee were John D. Rockefeller, Jr., w. A. Hartman, Arthur Curtis James and Haley Fiske, president of the Metropolitan Life In- surance company.

TEXTBOOK CHANGES UP

Very few changes are probable in the text books now in use in public schools of the state, according to those who claim to be next" to the members of the state text book commission. The commission meets in Jackson Decem- Der 15 to select text books for the coming five-year period. Changes in the arithmetics and spoilers now in use will probably be made. More modern books are needed than the present set, according to many teachers and public sentiment seem to be in favor of changing.
