INSURANCE COMPANY
SHOWS FIRE PICTURE

There is a little big picture to be
shown next week at the KOzy Theatre
undcr th etitle Arson. II is a con-
tribution made by a motion picture
producer of New York TO the cam
paign lately started and now being
waged against the alarming wave OF
incendiarsm that is sweeping the
United States
Most fire pictures made heretofore
have made their appeal chiefly to those
interested i'm fire prevention, but the
present subject carries sensational
bid for the attention of every man, wo-
man and child in America, for accord
ing to the information conveyed here
on the screen, fires deliberately started
i'm this country are responsible annual
lv for the loss Of five thousand lives
and property to the value of 220 mil
lion dollars.
Using these figures and others re-
Gently compiled by the Glens Falls
Insurance Company to bring home to
the American people the fearful fact
that fire insurance pOlicy-hOlders pay
forty per cent of their premiums to
make good the losses occasioned by the
crime of arson, this important little
picture tells story of shopkeeper
who resorts to incendiarism in order
to collect insurance upon his goods
1t so happens. however, that police
man lives with his family in the apart
ment upstairs, and in trying to res
cue his wife and children from the de-
vouring flames by lowering them from
the front window, he sees the miser-
able shOpkeeper making his own es-
cape. The action that ensues brings
the shopkeeper to an end desired for
all his class, but just how it comes
about with its interesting and thrilling
details, must be left to the theatre
screen to tell.
In actuality the story that is told is
taken from life. Ii really is a com
pOsite of thousands of similar cases in
which crooked merchants have set fire
to their business establishments with
wantOn disregard of the lives and prop
erty of others. In the film the des
picable character is brought to justice
In real life it is to see that similar
characters do not escape punishment
for their terrible and unfOrgivnble
crimes that the nationwide campaign
against arson has been inaugurated.
To prove how much truth there is
in the shopkeeper story, the film re
produces the chart that so startled
those interested in five prevention wheI
it was issued lately by the Glens Falls
Insurance Campany. This chart shows
first the trend of modern business fol-
the past ten years. 1t then shows The
prOporionate number of fires over the
same period. The two "curves" cor
respond amazingly. When business
conditions are good, the number o.
fires are smaller; when business fall
below normal failures line fires in
crease with equal rapidity. There pro
badly has never been more graphic
demonstration of a vital fact concern
ing the entire nation.
To miss "ArsOn" during its present
engagement is to remain uninfOrmet
about a pressing matter that involves
the whole family group.

NEW YORK, July 24.--The Ma
tional Association Of Broadcasters,
which numbers in its membership
more than 200 OF the most important
radio stations OF the country. today
announced receipt of a. telegram from
the proprietors of WAND, Minneapo-
lis, saying this station had returned to
it's old wave length Of 244 meters and
was back to stay" 1t was one of
the many stations which jumped to
higher wave lengths a week ago on
the heels of Secretary Hoover''s an
nouneenfent that the Department Of
Commerce no longer exercised the
power Of allocating wave lengths.
Station WAND, as a member Of
the Association of Broadcasters. was
urged by that organization to return
to its old wave and help end threat
ened chaos in the ether. One act
which brought this station into the
public eye was the fact that 1t broad
cast a. speech by Mr.. Hoover while
still on its "pirated' wave.
Station VIM, Newark, is the only
other outlaw station SO far to return
to the fold of allotted wave lengths
since the association launched its cam
paign for conformity. Like WAND 1t
Is a member and has agreed to abide
by the old rules until Congress con-
venes and adequate legislation is en-
acted to provide for the situation.
More than 100 OF the conformity
pledges sent out by the association
have been signed and returned, the
announcement said. Confidence was
expressed that the stations still on
"pirated" wave lengths would soon be
brought into line by the continued &C
tivity Of the association.

MANY UNCERTAINTIES

NEW YORK, Nov N1---Slowly ac-
Cumulating returns from yesterdays
general elections developed so many
uncertainties that despite some not
able democratic gains, some of the
outstanding contests remained in the
doubtful column.
The democrats not only reelected
Governor Smith in New York but
picked mp one senatorial seat in
Massachusetts. Senator Wadsworth of
New York also was defeated.
Two seats in the house of repre-
sentat;ves, one III Pennsylvania and
one in New York, had swung over
from the republican to the demo-
cratic column, but most of the con-
efessional districts which had been
debatable ground still were to re-
port.
On top of their victories in Mass
achusetts and New York. the demo-
Gratis were keeping their senatorial
candidates in the lead IN Arizona,
Missouri, Maryland Oklahoma and
Kentucky. All of these states now
are represented by republicans
In all, the democrats must pick up
lime seats to overturn the prestige
Of the republicans in the senate.
In Indiana, stirred in the closing
days of the campaign by charges OF
q corrupt republican-ku kluN kIan
combination, Senator'S Watson ano
Robinson, both republicans, were lead

raratively narrow margins.

NEW WITNESS STATES
CARMEL WOMAN WAS
RELIGIOUS PERSON.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2.-(P-A new
witness, who says she talked with the
mystery woman who occupied a cot
tage in Carmel with Kenneth G. Ormis-
ton, fugitive radio man, today entered
the Aimee Semple Mcpherson case,
when a letter was received by District
Attorney Asa Keyes from Miss Alice
M. Ammerer of Oakland. She is ex-
pected to provide the pivotal evidence
| in the solution of the evangelist's
mysterious disappearance.
Miss Ammerer, in her letter to the
authorities, declared that the woman
who occupied the Carmel cottage last
May was "a religious woman" She
enclosed a book given her by the
woman.
The authorities maintain that Ormis-
toms companion was Mrs. Mcpherson.
The Oakland witness" letter reads:
II spent two weeks in Carmel last
May and while out walking slipped
and fell. A woman came out of house
there and helped me pick up the con-
| tents of my vanity case, and while I
rested we had a pleasant chat. She
asked me if 1 belonged to a church.

'She spoke a6r1iringly of the blue
silk dress L wore ard said blue was her
favorite color. She asked me to wait
a moment, and brought out a book,
saying it would be helpful to me.
Il took the book and opened it to
look at the first page. There was some
writing, but before could see what it
was she quickly took the book from my
hands and tore out the page, saying
/ did not need that
/ Il thought no more of the matter un-
til few days ago, when I was again
in Carmel for the weekend before
leaving for my home in Portland.
II spoke about lady giving me a
religious book when my aunt said she
believed the place where / fell was in
front of the Benedicl cottage (the
house rented by Ormiston). After sup
per we walked over there and sure
enough that was the place.
Il would not be a witness in this af-
fair for the world and don't want this
book. | don't see that it is of any use
to you except to show that the woman
in the cottage ON that Sunday in last

CHICAGO ESTABLISHES
RECORD WITH CLEAN
ELECTION ON TUESDAY

CHICAGO, Nov 2.-lP-The agencies
of law enforcement downed the gang
sters and perpetrators of election
frauds here today. Elaborate precau-
tions by federal county and city au-
thorities held reports of untoward in
cidents to an unusually brief list.
Several of the more prominent gang
sters were arrested on the streets, but
they were unarmed and not near poll
ing places, while there were fewer than
a half dozen reports of minor disorders
and none of the ballot box seizures
which heretofore have marred Chicago
elections.
In one precinct a judge was knocked
down. but the police said he was in
toxicated and locked him up until they
thought he was sober. Five armed
men kidnapped four negro election
workers and held them prisoners two
hours on the near north side and few
minutes later five men slugged ne
gro democratic worker and kidnapped
another negro election worker on the
southwest side.
Four men, recognized by an election
worker as adherents of AL Capone,
gang leader, entered a polling place,
sized up" the situation and left, but
call for reinforcements was sent out
under fear they would return and steal
the ballot boxes.
In one turbulent ward, in which Nor
ris Eller republican candidate for san
itary district trustee is recognized as
leader, two judges were removed when
a committee of Chicago Bar association
workers reported they were going into
the booths and coaching voters.
Ellers' son, Judge Emanuel Eller of
the superior court, had hearing on
petitions for writs of habeas corpus in
his home and forced the police to place
charges against several alleged gang
sters arrested during the day. The
gangsters were charged with disorderiy
conduct and released on bond They
include Vincent (The Schemer) Drucci;
(Big) George Moran; Frank Gusen-
berg; James Clark, and Frank Gala
han.
Many members of the Chicago Bar
association acted as non partisan
watchers at polling places.
