THE FRESHMAN AT LYCEUM

This season the Lyceum has en- deavored to cater to the tastes of . the public by bringing for return engagements certain outstanding features at the regular price and another of these occurred this af- ternoou when Harold Lloyd in "Thc Freshman" was shown again. This picture is easily the high spot in Lloyd's comedy career and is equally z, worthy of viewing by those who have CT have not sen it before.
 The companion picture is another big feature. My Old Dutch" This picture, which stars May McAvoy, ran in a Hartford theater as the big feature for an entire week, so obviously it is worthy film. My Old Dutch" is drama with an l, English background. the scenes occurring in the city of London. Love, a bit of tragedy. enough thrills and excitement and tender , romance make it a distinct favorite. ' The news events, comedy and serial complete the program.
 "The Freshman" gives Lloyd a wonderful comedy part. As the 6 small town boy who goes away to a big college where he wants to be a big fellow" he alternately arouses feelings of pity and mirth, but mirth , prodominates. His endeavors to make the football team, his anxious ness to become "a regular fellow" and one scene in which he attends a formal ball in rented evening suit are some of the hilarious spots

HOME OF WASHINGTONS SISTER IN
 VIRGINIA ANOTHER FINE MANSION
Finel Ornamental Plaster of Interior One of Best Examples of Its Kind.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 The home of George Washington sister, Betty. and the famed beauty, Nelly Custis, Kenmore, is to be re- garded as one of the more spacious historical possessions of Virginia. Just outside Fredericksburg, Ken more was built by Colonel Fielding Lewis in pre-Revolutionary days. a A spacious lawn surrounds the three story building whose four chimneys stand out prominently at the four corners of the roof. In contrast to the simple dignity of the main building is right wing half as high as the house itself and fronted by a colonade very similar to the half eiclosed passageways Thomas Jefferson placed about buildings whose designs he seelcted.
 Ornamental Plaster
 Probably the interior of Kenmore with it's finely ornamented plaster work is the most conspiciously beautiful part of the old home. Many of its rooms have ceilings with beau- tiful ornamental plaster which is said to have been the work of He's sian prisoners during the Revolu tion.
 The builder of Kenmore was one of the most prominent men of his day and during the Revolutionary War manufactured arms for the state at Fredericksburg. Lawrence, his son, married the beautiful Nelly Custis. Kenmore is now the prop erty of the Kenmore Association which keeps the place in order and collects relics of the age.

GASOLINE WARFARE
 AMONG DEALERS
N ', Price Cutting However,
 Doesn't Affect Mass,

Pittsfeld, Aug. c6.-Rumbles of a. gasoline price-smashing war scross the New York state border are being heard in the Berkshires, but according to various dealers, this war is not likely to be extended into Massachusetts territory. Prices range from r to 23 cents a gallon retail, in New York, while in this state, the general prevailing price is 23 cents.
 Motorists have cause to wonder when travelling from this state into Vermont. When going to Benning- ton, detour is necessary which swings over through Petersburg, N, Y., and Hoosick Falls. In Massa- chusetts. the motorists will pay 23 cent. In Petersburg. they will pay 17 and when they reach Bennington, they will pay 26.
 The price war in New York is be- ieved to have started among deal CTS in Albany, Troy, Schenectady and other capital district communi- ties. One retail dealer is credited with saying that he paid 19 cents wholesale and retailed his product at Y cents gallon, Distributors in this city said that the tank wagon price generally in New York state at present is 19 and 20 cents. To in sure a fair profit and to care for evaporation. the retail price should be 3 cents higher, they claimed. The tank wagon price here is 21 cents, which allows for very little profit. dealers stated. This price is the same throughout Massachusetts.
 W. s. Farrar x Sons, independent dealers, could not give any specific cause for the price war in New York. although the theory was ad- yanced that one retailer might have cut prices and others followed. The tank wagon price is lower in the vii cinity of Albany because the gaso- line is transported up the river to the distributors.
 A Standard Oil Company emplor here verified the report of the war fare in New York state and said that it had extended 10 Buffalo. All deal CTS, large and small. are affected, it was said. It is not believed that this fight will be of long duration and that as soon as it is over, prices again will rise.

No Deal With Daugherty,
is Merton Story

Germany, $4,000 was lost when it
preciated and the remaining $125,OO0
will be donated to German charities
under obligations he assumed at his
fathers death.
Merton was in the witness box the
entire day. During most of the time
he was under cross examination by
William Rand, Miller's chief counsel.
Buckner repeatedly stated that Rand
was using Merton as his own wit
ness. Rank took Merton through a
description of the organization of the
Societe Suisse Pour Valeurs De Me-
taux, the corporation for which Mer-
ton claimed the $7,O0O,0O0 of seized
shares of the American Metal COM
pany. The government charges that
this claim was fraudulently paid and
that Miller, Daugherty, Smith and
King, were co-conspirators in rush
ing" the claim through the govern
mental channels.
The defense attorneys stated that
they will prove that Merton's claim
was valid. that the government was
not defrauded either of money or
service and that the shareholders Of
the Swiss Bank or the Societe Suisse
were not required to be neutrat.
Buckner contended that the specific
section of the enemy trading act un-
der which the claim was paid did not
permit the return of property to
any but 100 per cent neutral share
holders.
When court adjourned, Merton was
under redirect examination by Buck
ner who was prevented from attack
ing the credibility of his own witness
by objections of defense attorneys
