SUSPECT
IN HUNDRED
THEFTS j..

Carelessness finally has brought the
Laurel Heights prowler to his down
fall.
The poll tax, which dropped from a
suit Of clothes belonging TO X. C..
Nousantz. 215 West Poplar street,
was found near the negro's home Sun
day afternoon and turned over to po-
lice.
Detectives Golf and Hice, assigned
for an investigation. arrested the nc
gro when they found Nousantz's suit
hanging on q clothes line in his back
yard.
Constant grilling Sunday brought
nothing from the prowler but a firm
denial of all accusations. Other prop.
erty of Nousantz, stolen with the suit
and which was found on the person of
the negro, ELECTED no confession.
Daring methods have marked the
work of the Laurel Heights prowler
for more than six months. And as il
protected by this very bravado. tn,
thief has escaped capture half dozen
times and death as well.
Undaunted by the nearness Of his
victim. the providers practice has been
to enter the bedroom Of his prey, ex-
tract the money from their trousers
pockets and leave. On occasions when
he was discovered in the room. he fled
with the clothes, later abandoning
them.
Usually two homes constituted a
nights work and he is believed to be
responsible for 100 or more robberies
in the fashionable residential sec
ton.
Early Sunday morning he chose
the home of Nousantz. Once inside
the bedroom, he awakened Nousantz
as he moved about the room. Forced
to flee before completing his job, the
negro carried his victims suit away
with him for the customary search.
Officers rushed to the scene but he
had escaped. This was fairly easy,
since he was employed as a servant by
wealthy family and could be at home
even before pursuers arrived to take
up the chase.

Ramon Nouarro Stars
in "The Midshipman"

"The Midshipman," starring Ramon
Novarro, now showing at the Empire
Theater, is story Of a young mans
career at the United States Naval
Academy. In making the film the
government gave all assistance, even
to the detail of the Secretary Of the
Navy Wilbur handing the young gradu-
ate. Novarro. his diploma.
Romance and action are woven into
the play and it is an interesting story
of the life, in part, of our young naval
officers. Wesley Barry carries off his
part well in one OF the supporting roles
and furnishes most of the laughs.
Bassett's band offers an entertain
ing program. A comedy concludes the
showing.

For "The Pace That Thrills" is n
distinct departure from the average
run of photoplays. Making no pre-
lenses to be the most super. dazzling,

one of the most entertaining seen here
in many moons.
Action, thrills and wholesome COM
edy permeate the picture, taking the
place of sex problems and love tn
angles.
Ben Lyon and Mary Astor play the
leading roles. 1t is claimed that Earl
Cooper, Peter de Paolo, Barney Old

track take part in a thrilling race
which is high point in the picture.
A comedy and special music round

Universal Service staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Texas is

Texas pilgrimage date has not been
fixed definitely, but the Texans who
will welcome him anticipate his ar
rival in the late spring or early sun
mer. Much, of course, will depend on
the pressure of official business at the
city hall. When Walker finds a
breathing spell, he will be On his way,
say about June.
The mayor-elect's Texas host will
be John Henry Kirby. one Of the dis
tinguished citizens of the state. Kirby,
who is known as the lumber king, is
interested in many commercial and
financial enterprises. He is one OF
the states wealthiest business men.

Walker will go first to Houston, 10
the Kirby home. Then he will visit
Austin, the state capital; San An
tonic and probably Dallas and Fort
Worth. Receptions and dinners will

by Kirby and a committee.
Indications are that by the time the
mayor-elect visits Texas political con
ditions will have adjusted themselves

Ferguson and anti-Ferguson forces no
longer will attract attention.

elected with the aid of Kirby, will re

OKEH, SAYS WRIGHT

II is not violation of any police
rule or city ordinance for folks to
have Christmas trees in their homes,
declared Phil Wright, commissioner
of fire and police, Monday.
His declaration followed the receipt
of several telephone calls requesting
this. information.
Several people misconstrued the
meaning of newspaper story in
which ire Chief ]. G. Sarran warned
citizens against letting trees remain
in their homes over certain period
after Christmas. The trees are high
" inflammable when dry and are a
fire hazard.
The fire chief warning stands, said
Commissioner Wright, but it is not a
violation of any rule or ordinance if
folks do not comply with the warn
ing.
