WOntlnueQ from FlrSt PaSe.D
thought was Miller that he was de-
tained at the post and could not come
TO see her.
Denied Sending Message.
Miss Kemp, who has the full con-
fidence and respect of the officers at
Fort Myer, recalled that about a week
before that a man called her on the
telephone and told her Miller was con.
fined to the post. He asked if he
might call that night instead. She de-
Clined to see him, and about an hour
later Miller arrived at her house. He
said he had never sent her such "a
message.
The board of inquiry was informed
today that Johnson had told them of
riding around Arlington Cemetery and
Fort Myer fully IL times last Monday
night. Johnson is now at Emergency
Hospital, recovering from the pistol
wound he received in his leg when,
according to his own story, he was
attacked by two men wearing soldiers
uniforms. Johnson stoutly denied, at
1irst, that Miss Gray had accompanied
him.
The girl. however, volunteered the
information that she was with John
son. She said two men, wearing
soldiers uniforms, leaped over the
Cemetery wall and fired at least five
times at her and her escort. When
johnson fell, with a bullet in his leg.
they turned and fled back into the
cemetery. Their motor cycle was
travelling at a moderately fast rate
when the attack occurred, police
quoted her as saying.
Bullet Fired From Front.
Capt Albert Bowen, DIR. B. III.
Swain and Col. Price of the Army
Medical School, performed an autopsy
on the body of Miller yesterday and
decided that he must have been killed
on Monday evening. They reversed,
however, an earlier opinion that the
death bullet was fired from behind and
decided that the fatal attack must
have come from the front. The con-
iition of the skull indicated, upon
interior examination, the course the
bullet took.
There were present, however. they
said, two physical factors which
would make a theory of suicide inn
probable. First. it would have been
extremely difficult for a man to hold
such a heavy weapon as a .45-caliber
Army pistol at his forehead in a line
with the course of the bullet. Sec.
ond, there We're absolutely no powder
marks on the face or forehead, which
would almost certainly have been
present. II was said. if the wea pom
had been held even at full arms
length.

EXPRESS AT
 THE LIBERTY THEATRE

Pat Harmon who plays the heavy in "The Midnight Express" which comes to the Liberty theatre tonight had a great deal of difficulty in mak- ing up for his part. Those who see the picture will notice a prominent caulifower ear and a very nasty scar on his cheek. In the days of circus acting and on the legitimate, where Harmon got his early training, such makeup simply depended on the use of putty and then grease paint of the proper color. The modern camera does not always photograph things as they seem and the difference in tex ture between real flesh ears and put ty ears and scars shows very we'll on the camera. A great number of lob- oratory tests were necessary before the proper blending was accomplished and still retaining the realistic effect desired. In production there are in- numerable technical difficulties which the public seldom even suspects.

Wisconsin, of the transportation act under which the railroads were re- turned to private operation after the war. Few prices of legislation enact ed by congress in recent years have become the center of such controver- sy. The transportation act brought down on Senator Cummins wide oppo- sition that developed to his renomina- tion to the senate in 1920.
 Three years later it stood as the barrier to the consummation Of his ambition to remain as chairman of the interstate commerce committee, while actually serving as president of the senate after the removal of Cal win Coolidge from the capitol 10 the White House The Republican insur- gents conducted a bitter fight against him and, finally, by joining with the Democrats, unseated him. A Demo crat, Ellison D. Smith, of South Caro- lima, succeeded him although the Re publicans controlled all the other standing committees.
 Born February 15, near Car michaels, Pa, Mir Cummins was the son of Thomas and Sarah Cummins. His father was carpenter and the son picked up the elements of that trade as an odd-time helper to his parent. He attended public school and later entered college at Waynesboro. Early in his college career he felt the call of the West and, borrowing $50 from banker uncle, set out for the territory beyond the Mississippi.
 After long journey he landed in Iowa, but soon found that the tales of untoil riches easily acquired in that then virgin country were in a class with some of the myths recounted in the books of his school days. After his liquid assets had dwindled 10 S. he obtained a. place in the office of the recorder of Clayton county. The pay was smah and when it became necessary to refurnish his wardrobe he went into the country where as a carpenter he helped to build a mill. receiving $50 a day.
 Later MT. Cummins got job in the express office at MacGregor, in Clayton county, on the Mississippi. There occurred the thing destined to change his whole future. 4 college friend at Fort Wayne, Ind, offered him a job as assistant surveyor of Allen county. With many misgivings the young man took the job and soon began work as railroad builder.
 The immediate job was completing link of the Cincinnati, Richmond and Fort Wayne railroad through swamp. Cummins had no experience. and was depending on his surveyor friend to coach him, but the friend passed him in the swamp without stopping and so the new surveyor Was left to sink or swim.
 Senator Cummins liked to tell friends about those days; how with great trepediation he went out over the line; dismissed the workmen for the day so they would not immediate ly learn of his ignorance of the job he had tackled, and then began careful canvass of the work that had been done so as to get ideas on which to proceed.
 In the end he did the job so well
