ARRESTED FOR MURDER
Canadian Police in New York to Take Back Alleged Leader of Slaycr-Hijackcr.

New York, Jan. 19.-Inspector William k. Dunwoodie, of the Brit ish Columbia provincial police, has arrived in New York 10 press the eX- tradition of Owen Benjamin Baker cx-convict, who was arrested here as leader of a band of hijackers that murdered the captain of small ves- eel and his son off Sidney Island, near Vancouver Island, B. C., last September.
 Baker has been a prisoner in the Tombs since his arrest in Decemb Der, while a hunt is still on in two coun- tries for another of the alleged hi- jackers, known as Harry F. Sowash.
 Awakened in the middle of the night, when the pirates boarded the schooner from a smaller boat, Cap tain William J. GiIlis fought to pro- tect his cargo of 300 cases of liquor. He was fired upon first and then beaten with iron bars, Inspector Dunwoodie said, and when his son went to his assistance he also was attacked. Then father and son were trussed up with ropes, fastened 10 the anchor chain and dropped over board to drown.
 After removing the liquor, the hi jackers escaped. Baker was arrested here in a sailors lodging house.

FEDERAL MEN ON
 TRAIL OF RUNNERS
Hunting Band Who Badly Bat
 tered Coast GuardSman

New York, Jan. 19.-Fedcrai au- thorities are seeking two rum run ners who escaped yesterday after outwitting one of their Captors, Coast Guard Gunner James C. Moore, and leaving him for dead in a snow ank near Sandy Hook, \. J. Moore. with face scared and head bandaged, told his superiors at the barge office here how he was beaten over the head with a blackjack by six men into whose power his cap tivcS lured him.
 The two prisoners, one of whom was shot through the shoulder, were captured in a speed boat by a coast guard craft under command of Cap tain Jilbrde off Sandy Hook. They were landed so that Moore could take the wounded man to the army hospital. There, according 10 the gunner's story. the unwounded pris- oner telephoned ostensibly 10 the Long Branch. N. J., hospital for an automobile, as the army authorities 1 had refused to keep the wounded man over night. In reality he com- municated with comrades whom he called to his aid, inc gunner report cd he believed.

 "He said that while the wave the- ory probably will stand until another is found capable of explaining the things it has so we'll interpreted. it is unable in its present form 10 ac- count for the results of our expert mcnts."
 Einstein's supposltion that light particles or "quanta" had a momen- tum and energy inversely propor- tional to what has been called the wave length of the light. Professor Compton said, predicted as accur- ately, as we cou.d measure, the change of wave-lengths observed when the X-rays were scattered by a piece of carbon or parahin."
 The new ideas of the nature of light" he continued, If they were right, would mean that whenever a light particle is reflected 1t would give a bump 10 electron which changed its path. For visible light a calculation showed that the i'm pulse thus given 10 an electron would probably be too small to knock the electron out of the atom in which it happened to be. But for x-rays the momentum Of quantum should be some ten thousand times as great and should be enough to knock an electron clear out of it's atom and shoot it through the sur lrouuding air"

"BROKEN LAWS" AT PALACE

Mrs. Wallace Reid has scored an- other brilliant success as a producer of photodramas. Her second great timely picture, Broken Laws" was shown to interested audiences at the Palace theater yesterday, and voted an unqualified triumph.
 Following Human Wreckage,' which was an expose of the narcotic situation, Broken Laws" is a story of mother love and the law, a vital message to Americans in these days of fragrant law violation and disre- spect for the constituted authorities.
 But 1t is more than vital mes- sage, 1t is an absorbing, enthralling drama, well acted. capably directed and with an adequate background of beautiful settings and rich cos- tunes.
 Tn her support were such capable players as Percy Marmont, the patient husband of the jazz baby; Jacoueline Saunders who did really remarkable work in that role; Ram sey Wallace as loans husband, Ar thur Rankin and Virginia Lee Cor bin as the young people, and Pat Moore and Jane Wray as the chil- drcn.
 Tn addition there is a vaudeville bill of four clever acts. Beginning Thursday Tn Every Woman's Lifc' will be the attraction with four acts.

SENATE MOURNS
 THREE MEMBERS
Last Testimonial for Lodge,
 Brandegee, and Colt

Washington. Jan. 19. -- Intimate memories of three of it's stalwarts of former days came crowding back upon the senate today as legislative machinery was brought to halt so those who had served shoulder to shoulder with them might give a last testimonial to their lives and their works.
 Senators on both sides of the chamber sought the opportunity of joining in praise of the public serv- ice rendered by Henry Cabot Lodge, Frank B. Brandegee and Lebaron B, Colt, members who died during the summer recess.
 Reviews of the life of Senator Lodge carried the senate through Sl years of it's history and brought recollections Of the memorable con- troyersy over the league of nations in which the former chairman of the foreign relations committee and Woodrow Wilson were the central tlgureS.
 The retrospect of Senator Brande- gees service found almost as wide a range in the years of senate history which the veteran from Connecticut had so large a hand in fashioning, He, too, had place in the front rank Of those who came to be known as the senate irreconcilables.
 Tributes to the fidelity of Senator Colt recalled his services as chair man of the immigration committee to which place he succeeded when his party came to control of the senate after the world war.

S4,OOO Damage by Fire
 In Old Turner Hall

The old Turner Hall, now set in the rear of the Odd Fellows build ing on Arch street, was threatened with destruction Saturday afternoon when fire started in the upper part of the building and did damage es- timated at $4,000 before it was put out. Chief William J. Noble, who was attending the funeral of Capt. William J. Watts when the alarm from Box 326 was sounded, investi- gated the origin of the blaze and at | tributed 1t to a carelcssly dropped cigarette butt left by man who had been working in the hall early fin the afternoon.
 When the fire apparatus arrived at the hall, the upper front part, used for storage purposes by the John A. Andrews Furniture Co. was a mass of flames and smoke was pouring from the building. As the flames for the most part were in the partitions the firemen encountered stubborn resistance to their efforts. The Buol Machine Co. which occu- pies the first floor of the structure, suffered slight water damage.

DISCOVERY MAY
 HIT LIGHT THEORY
Prof. Compton Of Chicago An-
 nounces Findings

Chicago, Jan. 19-Discoveries con- corning the nature of light which may affect the wave theory of rada- ton were announced yesterday by Professor Arthur Compton of the physics department ol the University of Chicago, after a series of experi- ments which showed that light con- sists of "discrete bits," each proceed ing in definite direction.
 The professor photographed the tracks of electrons elected from air by X-ray. The angles and velocities were measured and found to agree with the quantum theory, a revival of Newtons old view that light con sists of minute streaks of particles. Professor Compton said his expert ments were difficult to reconcile with the wave theory, upon which rests | the basic work involved in the X-ray and radio transmission.
 We found that the wave lengths of the scattered X-rays were what they should be if quantum of radi- ation bounced from an electron," he

CATHOLICS HOLD
 PROTEST MEETING
Sessions Throughout France
 Score Religious Policy
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, Jan. 19.-The Catholic
 meetings throughout France in pro-
 test against the governments re-
 ligious policy were continued yester-
 day, and at Ak -En-Provcnce a clash
 occurred between adherents of Gen.
 eral de Castelnau and the National
 Catholic Federation on the one hand
 and the local communists on the
 other.
 The Catholics held a procession
 during which they chanted anthems,
 while the communists also paraded,
 singing the International" and oth-
 CT revolutionary songs. The two fac- tions came to tisticuffs as the Cath oIics were vending their way toward the cathedral. Reinforcements of police prevented the incidents from becoming serious.
 Monsignor Riviere, archbishop of Aix, took an active part in General dc Castelnau's meeting, which call ! cd for "a close union Of the Catho- l lies for the defense of their rights and liberties"
 Nancy also was the scene Of a Catholic manifestation in which Monsignor Ruch, bishop of Stras- bourg; Bishop De La Celle of Nancy, Senator Michaut and Deputy Comte Edouard De Warren took part. Bishop Ruch declared sectarian hate was being expended against Alsacc-Lorraines religious senti- ments, whereas the clergy of the re- gained provinces had kept alive the loyalty to France during the period of German domination. Today, he said, the sectarians did not hesitate to say: "Go to Berlin 10 seek youl liberty"
 The conclusion of the meeting was marked by the adoption of resoIu tions protesting against sectaHar laws for Alsace- Lorraine "in disre' gard of solemn promises by France: highest authorities and despite th' solemn will of the great majority ol Inhabitants of the recovered prov l inCes."

Pirates Take Chinese
 Ship With British Flag
law The AssocIated Press.

Hong Kong, Jan. 19.-The Chi ncse-owncd two thousand ton steam CT Hong Hwa, flying the British flag, was seized by pirates last Tues day, Ave days after it had left Singa- pore for Hong Kong with several hundred Chinese passengers and a general cargo.
 The Pirates, numbering more than 30, had embarked as passengers at Singapore. They confronted the captain and ships officers as they were eating breakfast, overpowered them at the point of revoIvers, and took possession of the ship.
 The pirates dismantled the Hong Hwa's wireless apparatus and for three days maintained control of the vessel.
 IL is estimated that the value of the loot taken from the ship was $10,000. There were no casualties among the passengers and the crew was unharmed.
