RIALTO-
"A WOman's Faith"

Percy Marment, somehow or
other, gives a certain tone to any
picture in which he appears, and
although he has never done any
thing quite so fine as his Mark
Sabre in IF Winter Comes" he
is seen to good advantage this
week in "A Woman's Faith's at
the Rialto.
Playing alongside him is ant Their
real screen artist, Alma RUbens.
They are exceedingly well paired,
and get the most out Of a story
that lends itself rather meagrely
to screen adaptation.
Moreover the director has shown
rare discrimination in his selection
OF characters. for the minor parts.
In fact this piece comes as close
to living up TO .tS boast of an
AL star cast" as any we have
seen since the weather made us
go to movies to escape the heat.
We noted a tendency on the
part of the principals to play
down somewhat, the dramatic ac-
ton. Marmont, particularly, takes
things a little too cody during
the tense situations in the plot
which deals with the clash of a
mans cynicism and Woman's
abiding faith in Providence, with
faith of course triumphant.
The story has been carefully
pruned and edited, and is really
what one sees but occasionally,
an intelligent film.
Mile Amazar, who sings Ameri-
can songs with Il delightful
French accent, is also on the pro-
gram this week. Her selections
were very favorably received. The
dynamic Guterson and the Rialto
orchestra present n pleasing mus
ical interlude. A moderately anus
ing comedy, a better than average
scenic film and International
News Reel are the other attrac.
tons on the bill. j. p.

SUSPECTS
Officer, Awakened by
Siren, Dresses in Time
to Catch Fugitives.

Detective H.. ]. Proudfoot was
awakened Sunday morning by a
strange alarm clock.
1t was the siren. of the police
emergency car and his awakening re-
suited in the capture of two of four
men who had attacked two women
and a man at a Soledad street address
after forcing an entrance through a
window.
The two were fleeing from Dctec-
tives Fox, Mcdonald and Emergency
Officer Wright, who answered the
call for aid sent in from the down.
town address.
The officers sighted two of the at
tackcrs as they drove away from the
house.
For five miles the chase continued.
Attempt after attempt was made to
shake the pursuers who followed in
the emergency car with the siren at
full blast. Alleys, streets and vacant
lots alike were used as thorough
fares
1t was nearing daylight when the
chase reached Zarmnora street and
Kentucky avenue, which is not far
from Detective Proudfoot's home.
Upon hearing the siren announcing
the approach of brother officers the
detective arose and hurriedly dressed.
When he reached the street inter-
section, the pair of attackers were
slightly in the lead of the officers.
Drawing his gun he took a position
in the middle of the street. They
drew up to the curb and stopped.
A third member of the quartet was
arrested later Sunday morning at Fort
Sam Houston. One still is at large.

TRAVIS Jury
to Probe Murders

AUSTIN. Oct. 5.-Particular en-
phasis was laid on the recent murders
in Travis county and bootlegging in
general by District Judge James r.
Hamilton this morning when he en-
panneled the grand jury for the en-
suing term.
In charging the grand jury to in
vestigate the bootlegging business.
Judge Hamilton said that there is n
ring operating out of Mexico through
Laredo and San Antonio and that
their Illicit trade reaches as far as
Austin. He said that false labels
were used in advertising this poison
Gus liquor and that the master minds
should be brought to justice.
Protection of the university students
gathered here was the basis for this
charge, it was pointed out.
In speaking of the murders, Judge
Hamilton called attention to one re-
cent murder which, in his mind, he
said, was the most brutal in the his
tory of the state. No mention of
the specific murder was made but the
inference was left that the triple
tragedy on August 0 in which Charles
Engler, his wife and adopted daughter,
Emma Engler, were found dead in
their home several miles from here,
was the one he had in mind.
The grand jury was told that ii
was incumbent upon the Travis county
jury IN investigate all state officials
as well as city and county officers.
No mention of any particular depart
ment Of the state government was
made in the charge.

amateur Bungling"
Cause of Failure.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-P)-
Colonel William Mitchell's charge that
amateur bungling" by notifying nav
al officers was responsible for the
failure of the navy's Hawaiian flight
drew a contradiction today before the
Presidents air board from Lieutenant
Byron ]. Connell, pilot of the PN-0
No. 1.
Under questioning by Senator Bing-
ham Of Connecticut, Lieutenant Con-
nell backed up the testimony given last
week by Commander John Rodgers.
leader of the flight, declaring that all
arrangements were carried out by Rod
gers and the other flying officers.
BLAMES WIND.
Commander Rodgers had complete
charge of all details" Connell assert
ed. He is a very, very good flyer and
made careful preparations.
Although not mentioning Colonel
Mitchell by name, Lieutenant Connell
added that IL the fight were to be
attempted again tomorrow. I'VE would
leave under the same conditions"
Failure of the wind, which weather
experts could not foresec, Council con.
tinued, was largely responsible for the
plane not reaching Honolulu.
PRAISES PLANES.
Connell testified the only slip up"
in plans was the failure to find the
guard ship Aroostook. If that vessel
had been located, he added, refueling
could have been done and he flight
continued. The witness said he knew
of no hesitnncy by naval officers to
give personal views before investigat.
ing bodies. He endorsed a separate
air corps in the navy and favored
separate budget for the corps. but op-
posed an indepedent air service. Dis
satisfaction existed among air officers,
he said, because of the lack of def
mite air policy.
Pho planes, Cornell said, are some
of the best types of patrol planes
ever developed.

Message From Fighting
Flyer Will Be Read at

OMAHA, Neb.. Oct. 5.-P-vet-
Grams Of the World War, here for the
seventh annual convention of the
American Legion, lined up today for
a fight on the endorsement of Colonel
William Mitchell's recommendations
to Congress for a separate air service
department.
Disappointment at the Coloncrs in
ability to attend was assuaged some
what by an announcement that a
message from him would be read be-
fore the convention. Failure to in
yite him as distinguished guest was
regarded by his friends as an attempt
to keep him from carrying his fight
to the floor of the convention, although
Legion officials announced that only
combat generals and admirals were in
vited as distinguished guests.
Orders for Colonel Mitchell TO ap-
pear before the army inspector gen.
ersi at Washington prevented his CON-
ing to Omaha.
