DIFFICULTIES BESET
PHONE FILM PROMPTER
Hesitation on Part Of Actors
Threatens to Destroy Illusion
View Of London PRODUCERS.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August IS. - Bernard
Shaw, Sybil Thorndike and her hus-
band and manager, Lewis Casson,
have been making a speaking film out
of "St. JOAN" Miss Thorndike carried
EST. Joan" to success on the London
stage.
1.-THE problem Of prompting becomes
very acute in the speaking films"
Casson says. 1.-THE actor who dries
up and loses his lines Is great trag-
edy when he is speaking at the same
time a camera is registering his act
ing. OF course, trained actors do not
actually dry up very often, but they
hesitate, and hesitation is magnified
so much on the phonofllm that 1t is
almost enough to destroy the illusion"
Casson thinks the speaking film has
an interesting future, but he says ex-
periments with "St. Joan" have not
advanced far enough to make 1t GER
tain that the film will be released for
general use.

PLANE HITS TWO cows
FARMER INVOKES LAW
London Brussels Air Liner With
Passengers Aboard Has Accident
in Glover Field.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 1S.-An airplane
collision with cows has caused
French judicial comedy in which air
men and farmer are at odds.
At Dunkirk the London-Brussels air
liner with 10 passengers aboard came
down in a clover field and ran into
two COWS. The farmer had to have
the cows killed. He promptly drew up
q bill Of expense.
Besides the two cows, he added the
item of one field Of clover and present
ed it to the pilots. The pilots argued
and wouldn't pay. The farmer went
off to the seat Of justice and came
back with a court officer and a writ
of attachment. The airplan owners
finally had to put up security before
the indignant farmer would let them
board the machine and fly away.

By the Associated Press.


NEW LONDON, Conn, August IS.
"A death calm has closed the New
London home of the late Senator
Frank B. Brandegee. who three years
ago took his life in Washington in
FIT of dependency over financial re-
verses.
The beautiful estate in which a gen.
erous host once welcomed friends
from all over the Nation lies deserted.
The mansion is closed and the once
carefully kept grounds are shambles.
Not long after the death Of its own
er the property was sold to Mrs. M. J.
Russell of this city. who spent consid.
cradle in improving the property and
turned it into an inn.
The venture started off splendidly.
But. the story runs, a somber air how
cred about the house and spacious
grounds. Negro helpers could not be
kept. Under no circumstances could
they be induced to enter the cellar.
Its haunted down there" they said.
The venture wound up in the courts.
The house was closed and it remains
closed.

TORNADO HITS BEAUTIFUL
 ST, LOUIS VERY HARD

St. Louis, Sept. 29, (P)-Striking the beautiful West End of the city a tornado coming out of the south western skies left in it's wake sixty-nine known dead, hundreds injured and the remnants of block after block of destroyed homes for six square miles, racked and torn by the storm with a property damage estimated by the St. Louis Globe Democrat at seventy-tive mil lion dollars.
 The twister reached velocity of ninety miles per hour in a few sec onds and subsided as many minutes later, to be followed shortly by bril- liant sunshine.
 The probable death list will run well over seventy-five while the es innate of the injured ran to five hundred fifty or more.
 In the West Side sections, tho streets, trees, and houses in resi- dential wealthy St. Louis lay cov- cred with blanket of uprooted trees, torn timbers and bricks, out of which came crawling injured men, women and children. It is estimated that twenty-five hundred homes are either completely wreck ed or badly damaged, while the streets are clogged with fallen tele- phone poles and fallen wires.
 With the telephone service de- moralized. it took the city several minutes to learn what had happen ed. The twister was accompanied by a terrific downpour of rain, which added greatly to the desola- tion. Houses and factories were whirled about and crumpled, many of them placed like toys.

SITE OF CAPITAL CHANGED
 BY LOVE FOR TREE ON HILL

Washington. lP)-How wo- mans fondness for the spot where for eleven years she was held cap tive by an Indian chief helped de- termine the site of the national capital is an almost forgotten story of a generation ago.
 Magdalena Moves. with her hus- band and two small children. were captured by Chief Monnacassett, of the Anacostas, whose wigwam was beneath a giant oak on hill which commands view of what now is the city of Washington, but then was a forested basin.
 All of the captives except Mag dalena and her young child. an in- fant. were put to death. Monna- cassett. attracted by her beauty. desired to make her his squaw, but she refused. declaring that she would rather die. The chief there upon decreed that she should re- main hts prisoner. She must not, on pain of death. he told her. go beyond the shade of the oak that spread it's branches above the wig wam.
 For eleven years she endured her unique captivity. Her infant be- came a beautiful maiden. and she named her Gwama, the Indian word for Hope"
 As the years passed things went badly for Monnacassett, and one day in skirmish near the present site of the White House he was mortally wounded. Not long af- terward the valley was bought as the site for the national capital. A treaty was signed with the Indians under the oak tree. and, as inter- preter for the Anacostas. Mazda lena spoke with white men for the first time during her captivity. The newcomers offered to restore Magdalena to her people if she SC desired: but she only asked that they build for her cottage be- meath the oak and allow her to re- main there. This they did. and q negro slave was given to her. He became her sole reliance and by hi. labor provided for her needs.
 The City of Washington begar to grow. Commissioners came tt choose locations for Its public buildings. The hill of the oal |tree was desired for the building O the capitol. but 50 deeply hal Masdalena become attached to th' spot that she was left undissurbed land the present Capitol Hill wa chosen instead.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT WARNS
 NEW YORK REPUBLICANS

Rochester, N. Y.. Oct. 1, R- Recognizing Governor Al Smith of New York as a candidate for the Democratic nomination to the Pres idency Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, as temporary chairman of the Re publican State Convention warned the Republican Party that it must exert every effort to "dispel the shadow of Tammany Hall that lies athwart the White House. The eyes of the country are turned to New York. If we fail in our mis- sion of increasing our Republican ma jority in the Legislature the en- tire country will see that New York is Tammany tied. Suppose Cover nor Smiths fiscal policy had been carried on by the Republicans dur ing the last seven years. how long would our prosperity have endur- ed? It would have crumpled in a year and bread lines would be standing where automobiles are now parked"
 Roosevelt criticized the Cover nor's advocacy of bond issue for financing public improvement as against the payment of expenses from the current revenue, as desir- ed by the Republicans.

 Solomon River, Sept. 27, 1927
 The recent cold snap chased a couple of prospectors out of the hills and sent them hieing to the outside, but with the promise that the Golden North will see their re- turn in the Spring.
 Hydraulic operations by Quig- ley, were slowed down by the cold weather, but the present balmy weather has again started things, and he is now hiring more men.
 The present camp of the Road Commission is comfortably situated at kimballs old camp. and not far from where the new bridge is un der construction. with the eXpec- tation that it will be finished by the tenth of October. and then if the soft weather continues, work on the road over the basin will be started. The road from the land HE tO NeIe IS uO" III sdliSldS- tory condition and travellers and freighters are eulogistc in their compliments.
 Major Gillette. piloted by the in- domitable Ross J Kinney. paid the camp visit few days ago. in specting the finished bridge. and the one under construction.
 Natives are camped along the river banks. putting up a plentiful trout and the juicy silver salmon, and gathering from the hillsides plentiful supply of cranberries that add zest to the plentiful sup ply of reindeer meat that ever graces their tents. cabins-or is it tables?

It is true that some of it returns In the form of commodities but if more of it was used to de- velop our potential mineral re sources, what q stream of gold could be pouring into the Moloch of the Outside.
 Freighting to Council for the new store is steadily going on. An approximate kick is register ed by the residents, miners, pros pectors. dredge and mining oper- ators. etc. in this section. about the mail service. or rather, the lack of it for there is none.
 The citizens are entirely depend- ept upon the courtesy of the trav- elers for their mail and while it is thankful service, yet it is not satisfactory service.
 This section of the country is Of some importance. It is the center of a large mineral area and has 1 population equal. if not greater, than Council, and there is no logic al reason why there should not be at least summer service. The roads are good and the distances to Council is but two easy days trav- ell, and the operators and others that are trying to develop the re- sources and wealth of this section are entitled to some consideration from the Postal authorities. The Road Commission is doing its share. Let the Postoffice do its share. and we'll thank them.
