a white man and one Of the girls
on the eve Of her graduation from
high school.
Coneyville. with upwards Of t.

prised Of negroes. became q seeth-
ing center Of mob activity March
III. last. when Julia Mooney. high
school senior. and her friend, Mar
garet Akers, told authorities three
negroes attacked them as they
slept.
With the appearance Of blood
hounds in an effort to trail the
three suspects. a mob invaded the
negro quarter. Although few had
guns. sporadic firing started and
when a youth was wounded the
mob stormed hardware stores for
arms and ammunition. The first Of
three national guard cavalry units
arrived at this juncture to find
part OF the rioters at the Jail where
a negro was held.
After stoning the jail and dam
aging other buildings. the mob was
broken up, but the city remained
under military rule for several days
while alleged leaders of the rioters
continued agitation. Investigation by
county and special officers opened
while nearly 1000 persons were
reported to have signed petitions
for a. grand jury inquiry.
Yesterday officers revealed that
Ira Kennedy. former automobile
salesman here. had been arrested on
a charge Of assaulting Miss Akers.
Miss Mooney was held as accessory
before the fact. They were placed
in jail at Independence. the county
seat. under bond Of $4,000 each.
Kennedy. who now lives at
Wichita with his wife and four
small children. denied that he was
here at the time Of the alleged as
sault. His wife supported this
statement and told how she and
her husband occupied the house in
which the attack occurred. Miss
Mooney was a roomer at her home.
Mrs. Kennedy said. and Miss Akers,
the younger Of the girls, often
spent the night with her school

Washington. May 81. P - DIR.
Fred e. Wright of the staff Of the
Carnegie Institution, chairman of a
committee of distinguished scien-
lists who are making a special
study Of the moon, is convinced
that gravity is one of the most i'm
portant of the many factors which
must be taken into account in the
consideration Of geological prob
lens"
On the moon the gravitational
pull is only about one-siXth of that
on the earth and is too weak even,
to hold an atmosphere to the sur
face. Under such conditions. he
explains. a Is millimeter gun. which
has range Of five to eight miles
on the earth, would shoot from $50
to ESQ miles on the moon, while

shells into Paris from a distance Of

would be able to hit an object g.
ESQ miles away.
Materials hurled into space by
volcanic action with initial veloci-
ties comparable to those on the
earth would be flung far out in
stead Of falling back into the era
ter. This, he thinks. could account
for the cleanly chiseled appear
ance Of some Of the craters dis
closed in pilot ographs Of the moon.
Even If the craters are not vol
canic in origin. but are caused by
.meteors. as one theory explains
force would still be a factor, since
the absence Of atmosphere would
permit them to strike the moon

trate the crust to a considerable
depth, setting up an aureole Of in

bound elastically and eject guam.

ROSE OF TIE TENEMENTs
 AT LIBERTY SUNDAY

Showing New Yorks east side dur ing the Gay Nineties," Rose of the Tenements," starring Shirley Mason which comes to the Liberty theater Sunday also reveals that same corner of America during the World War. The picture opens with the adoption of two waifs by kindly Jewish cou- pie and takes them to the time when the boy goes to war and the girl makes an effort to readjust her life until the time when he shall return to her. There are some very gripping moments played with poignant real ism by Miss Mason and Johnny liar ron who enacts the role of the boy. There are also delightful comedy touches full of spontaneity and ef- fervescent charm Underneath all is the strong current of a tremendously powerful love. These potent ingre- dients are blended together in perfect proportions by the superb direction of Phil Rosen. The splendid cast gives excellent characterizations. The adap- ation and continuity were written by T. Grubb Alexander from The Stumb- ling Herd", story by John Moroso.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Dec. 2s, CPI
white Shriners filed in the 81.
preme court today, their reply to the
appeal OF the negro shriners who are
seeking TO set aside an injunction
granted by Texas courts restraining
them from using the names, embIeus
and insignia Of the white organiza-
tion.
Declaring the question to be de-
termined is whether they lost then
rights by delay in asking an In
junction, the white shriners explain
ed that the suit was instituted By
the Arabia Temple at Houston to re
strain the Doric temple of the negro
shriners IN that city as soon as the
existence OF the latter was known
and within a year and . half after
Its organization.
The national organization Of
white shriners, which has INTERVIEWED
IN the case, has held that local white
shriners had the right, when acting
promptly, TO enjoin negroes in the
same community from using the
names, emblems and insignia Of the
white shriners without regard to
dates Of the organization OF the ma
tional bodies.
