LIONS SEEK FUNDS
 TO AID RED CROSS
Expect Total to Reach $200 Be
 fore End of Week

A fund for Red Cross relief of the flood victims in the Mississippi valley was started today among the members Of the Lions club to add to the community fund. Although most of the members have already made contributions 1t Is predicted that the club contribution will be at least s200 before it is closed. A cpl- lection taken at the noon lunche< l today to start the fund among the members amounted to $57. The di- rectors will meet in short time to consider a motion to add $100 more to this amount and members of the club who have not yet been solicited will be seen during the week.
 Although it is against the consti- tution of Lions clubs to solicit funds during meetings, Lions International has granted a special dispensation for the present crisis.
 Brief addresses were made by Philip Jakob of Norwalk. district deputy from that district. and by R. r. Lund. superslsor of nature study for the state board of education.
 Michael A. Bannan. high commis- sioner of the Lions baseball contest imposed fines for charges ranging all the way from insubordination to irascibility upon 4. J. DeLaurier. which totalled $21.75. Against this amount were credits for construc- tive criticism, etc, of sc1.55. The difference of 20 cents was collected by the commissioners secretary. L. w. Vogei.
 President Harry c. Brown was elected official delegate to the na- tional convention at Miami next month.
 A letter of thanks was received from Rev. Dr. J. E. Klingberg for the check for $500 received by the Home.

'Then he did take you out?"
 "No."
 "Then you didn't have to seek company elsewhere?"
 "Yes. did" Then the original statement was 1 true?" Well. yes" Changes Her Answer. Then you want to change your answer?" "Yes." She admitted discussing her mari- tai troubles with Gray but denied i saying in the confession: Things had become unbearable and I saw l must find some way out" She de- nied that Gray wrote her that it was better for them to "get rid of the governor" before he got lid of her.
 But he said he was going to get rid of your husband
 "Yes"
 Well, then all you want to do is change the we wherever it ap- pears to 'he'?"
 Changes "Wc" to "He."
 "In reference to killing my hus- band. yes."
 Several times during reading of the confession Mrs. Snyder made denialJ which she later withdrew after being reminded of previous tes- timony.
 When you met Gray in your mothers room he had the sash weight?"
 No. I saw 1t in his hand when he performed"
 Performed. madame? Did you say performed?"
 "Yes.''
 The confession version from the time of meeting Gray through the murder she denied almost entirely.

MARION GRANT IN
 HER STELLAR ROLE
Stars With Edmond Scott Weeks
 in "Rain"
(By Herald Reviewer)

"Rain." that dramatic. powerful drama of the south sea islands and the fanatical missionary and his at. tempt to reform a scarlet woman
 the famous Sadie Thompson" of W Somerset Maugham's story, was pre-. scented to 8 capacity house by the Poli Players at the Hartford Palace
 last evening, and it was visibly i'm pressed audience that left-impress- ed with the power and humanness of the story and doubly impressed by the histrionic ability of the two prin- cipals, Miss Marion Grant as Cadie Thompson and Walter Scott Weeks as the Rev. Alfred Davidson. Others in the cast contributed good work. but these two were supreme. AS Sadie Thompson, the girl of the streets. stranded on the island of Paga Paga. harassed by the one way-minded missionary until she too becomes fanatically possessed of the desire of repentance, the moral struggle of the missionary and his final subjugation in his own battle of flesh against spirit. his paying of the price with his own life and the re- turn of Sadie Thompson to the char acter she was before meeting the minister. all stamp the work of the two stars as excellent. Hoydenish. rough, uncouth, insulting and then tender. lovable. trusting. dazed only to again become the rough little woman of scarlet, Miss Grants act ing was at all times remarkably true to the role she played and she was compelled to respond to several en- cores. No less impressive was Mir. Weeks. The severe, domineering mis- sionary who through years of lone Illness in a foreign cline had become a ear of his religion, a fanatic of his beliefs, could hardly have been better portrayed than by MT. Weeks.
 Edmund Abbey as Joe Morn. the trader. lent his inimitable character acting to his semi comic role, and Fanny Ray as his native wife played up to him. Miss Patsy Ann O'Neal aSalQ scores III d CIdl dStcA PsAA V that of the missionary's wife. and Robert Perry as the philosophical Dr. McPhail left little to be desired in the interpretation of this whim- sical role. Billy Lynn lent bit of comedy as Quartermaster Bates. and Adricnne Earle, Jay Ray. Berpard Steele, Louis Smith, Irene Saunders were good in their supporting roles. The work of Vincent Coleman as Sergeant O'Hara of the U. $. Marines. who falls in love with the dashing Sadie, and eventually starts with her for far oft Australia to begin life anew, is good in his romantic part.
 Mention must be made of the stage settings, which are great and throughout the entire production the batter of the rain and the sight Of the falling raindrops. glistenlng Tn the tropical sunshine, was beauti- full sight

were lying bound upstairs at that time."
 "Yes. of course I was," she re- piled with her hands fluttering to her mouth.
 Then you were lying just now?" Froessel thundered. and Hazelton jumped to his feet.
 T object to the tactics of the state attorney" he cried and the lawyers walked toward each other as though for physical conflict. They were shouting unintelligently when Justice Scudder called them sternly to order and the examination con- tinued, the last question remaining unanswered.
