in an advertising talk in Kansas

minds me of an Oriental story:
'Vizier!' roared the sultan. j

in an entirely new stock, 1 would
sell off my old harem, at auction,
but the sale was only attended by a

the fiasco if you cam
1T was that fool of an ad writer,
Commander of the Faithful said the
vizier. He headed all our ads:
"Grand Bargains in Boomers" Shall
order him the bow-string or the

Doug MacLean's First
Paramount Star Comedy

He does the wrong thing at the
right time everytime!
In Seven Keys to Baldpate, /"
the famous George M. Conan
comedy in which Douglas Mac
Lean stars in at the Monroe
Theatre today, the comedian
plays the role of young novelist
who seeks the solitude of Baldpate
Inn to write a novel in twenty
four hours. A band of crooks
Geek the Inn at the same time.
Gun-play, near-murder and gen
efal pandemonium ensue.
And through it all Doug. Mac
Lean, in the character Of the
writer, persistently does the OPP
posite Of the right thing at every
opportunity.
Once established at the Inn, he
mistakes the real crooks for paid
aceomplices of his rival for the
hand of the girl. He refuses to
believe that they are shooting
real bullets in their battle to Sc
cure possession of a huge sum of
money which accidentally falls
into his pocket. When they rush
from the hotel in search of the
money, he merely closes the door
behind them; when they rush back
into the inn in pursuit of the man
who has seized the prize, he locks
the door and locks them all in the
hotel with him againl
The climax of this inverted
course of procedure occurs when
one Of the crooks apparently kills
the girl aecomplice. MacLean
rushes in, seizes the gun-and is
promptly arrested for murder and
accused by the entire band of
crooks!

ON
OIL POLICY OF
u. S. IS CLOSED
fBp Dispatch A. p. Wirel


WASHINGTON, May 27.-The federal
oil conservation board, which is en-
deavoring to shape a policy defining
the governments attitude toward the
oil industry, heard final arguments to-
day and began preparing it's report.
Charles f. Hughes, representing the
American Petroleum institute, summed
up for the group advocating encour-
agement of scientific effort and avoid
ance of legislative interference, while
Henry L. Doherty OF New York, the
spokesman for those urging conserva-
tion measures was given permission
to file a rebuttal statement to Hughes
argument.
Contending that federal legislation
TO regulate oil production would be
unconstitutional, Hughes pointed to
scientific effort as it's salvation and
declared the cracking process, through
which gasoline is made from crude
tial gasoline supply.
"The great service tha1 this board
can render is to bring about an intel
1igent conception on the part of the
public of the facts relating to the in
dustry of it's problems, both economic
and legal" Hughes declared, land to
foster the scientific Investigations up
on which ultimately the conservation
of our vastly important oil resources
must depend"
While not totally disagreeing with
Hughes statement, Mr.. Doherty said
he differed from him on all important
,,oip+c and asserted that those who saw
there is plentiful petroleum supply
should bring in something more def
mite, so he could answer them.

CARROLL GUILTY
AND NOT GUILTY
IN PERJURY AND
LIQUOR CHARGES
Jury Finds He Did Not Per-
jure Self About Liquor
Being Served.
SENTENCE DEFERRED
Guilty On Two Charges OF
Perjury AS To Girl Being
In Bath Tub.
(By Ii r',patcn A. P. wirol

NEW YORK, May 27.-Earl Carroll
was found guilty of perjury today in
telling two grand juries that No one
occupied a bathtub on the stage Of
his theatre at Washington's birth
day panty. He was found not guilty
of perjury in telling the same grand
juries that no liquor was served at
the party.
Through his counsel, Carroll ex-
pressed confidence in a quick rever-
sal on the guilty verdict when the
case is taken before a higher court.
During the trial which lasted four
days, the witness who created the
most general interest was Joyce HaW-
ley, 17-year- old chorus girl, who tes-
titled that she had sat unclothed In
bathtub of wine at the Carroll
party and that she had been drunk AZ
the time on liquor served her in the
theatre. Defense witnesses testified
that she had threatened to harm Car
roll unless he gave her money
The government called numerous
witnesses who testified to seeing Miss
Hawley enter the tub, from which
they said she served drinks of liquor
to the guests The defense called as
many who had seen no one enter the
tub, had seen no liquor and who teS-
titled to the producers reputation for
veracity.
The case went to the jury this
morning after Judge Goddard had
charged the jury and had included
instructions, at the instance of Car
rolls attorney. that to find the de-
fendant guilty of perjury in his testl-
mony on the bathtub incident, it must
find that he had wilfully lied to es-
cape punishment for violation of the
liquor laws.
After the verdict Carrolrs attorney
based his confidence of a reversal in.
the fact that in finding Carroll not.
guilty of perjury for his liquor testi-
mony, the jury had by inference ad-
mtited that he could not have Iei
about the bathtub incident to conceal
a non existent liquor violation. Car
roll was accompanied today, as he has
been throughout the trial, by his wife
and the trained nurse who is caring
for her. AS the foreman announced
a verdict of not guilty on two counts,
Carroll leaned tensely forward, the
ghost of smile set 4on his pale face,
but when the foreman continued, "Ol
counts three and six, guilty" Car
rolls smile faded and he relaxed in
his chair. Mrs Carroll swayed and
the nurse placed steadying hand on
her arm.
Carrolls chief attorney was on his
feet to demand a poll Of the jury, and
the roll call brought confirmation
from the 12 men, Judge Goddard
then doubled Carroll's existing bail OF
S25OO which was Immediately put up
and set date for sentence week
hence.
The producer was originally charged
with perjury on six. counts, but two
Of them were dismissed during the
trial.

an appointment with District Attor-
ney Asa Keyes to learn along what
lines the district attorney intended to
work in attempting to unfold the
mystery of the disappearance of the
evangelist. The grand jury chief de-
clared that if the district attorney
deemed the matter of sufficient i'm
portance, to turn it over to the grand
jury, that body would lend an at

Carter pointed out that grand
jury investigation necessarily could
revolve only about "any possible
criminal aspect of the case"
