CHAUTAUQUA
The Best Program In Many Years Starts One Week
 From Today.

4 week from today, July 18th, the big top will be raised on the high school lot and at 3.i5 the first number of many attractive Chautauqua en- tertainments will get under way. For seven days the Chautauqua platform will be the scene of diversified enter tainment. Not forgetting many of the most excellent programs of the past dozen or more years it is stated, without hesitation, that the program of 1928 is perhaps far the best of them all.
 Music, lectures, comedy dramas, with Junior Chautauqua, as ever. an important feature, all crowded into full week. There is still time to save money by the purchase of sea- son tickets for $3 each or $i for children six to fourteen years of age.
 One of the outstanding features of the varied program is the Rus sian Artists. Fortunately this ensem- bic comes on Saturday and remains over to furnish the singing on Sunday afternoon. Then there is the innova- ton. the band of Hopi Indians, with their weird music and fantastic tribal dances.
 The program was printed in full in last weeks Patriot and has called forth many favorable comments,

BY ELMER G. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-Optimistic
weekend business reviews, a report
of heavy steel ingot production for
August, indications for easier money
next week and a large amusement
merger in the off1ng kept specu-
lative sentiment at high pitch in
the early dealings on the Stock EX-
change today.
The general market opened firm
and advanced moderately in early
dealings, with the amusement shares
leading the rise. Fox Film A scared
to a new record high at 112, up 215
points, and Keith h-Albee-O -Orpheum
also made a record at 1885, up rs
Warner Brothers issues gained more
than two points each, and Loew's
was up nearly point. Buying in
these issues was based on expected
consultations involving Warner and
Fox as the centers of fusion in sep
arate mergers.
New highs were made by Armour
A at 225s, up "A on a sale involv-
ing 10000 shares; International
Nickel at 1854, up a point, and
Motor Wheel at SOS, up 1s. Amer
ican Linseed and Gold Dust were
strong following announcement of
the terms of the merger of these
companies.
United States Steel firmed up 5s
to 1884, while General Motors was
unchanged at 2O5 and Montgomery
Ward rose 394 to 240.

After Loop Staying
PhiIIy Mayor Appeals to
Public to Curb Its
Desire for Drink

BU United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8.-May-
or Harry Mackey appealed to the
citizens of Philadelphia today to
curb their intense desire for a
drink" in the interests of Kidding
the city of the corruption which
grand jury has found growing up
around the enforcement of prohi-
bition.
'I call upon the citizens to help
the law by self-denial," the mayor
said. "If there were no drinkers
there would be no bootleggers."
And then the mayor announced a
new and more stringent policy in
connection with his attempt to put
down the scandal that has placed
Philadelphia on a par with Chicago
as a haven of bootleg gangs and
racketeering.
He said that henceforth police
would invade private homes in their
quest for evidence of liquor law vio-
lations.
William Mills, superintendent of
police, passed the order along to his
men that private homes suspected
Of having stocks of liquor will be
raided by special officers bearing
search and seizure warrants.
Chicago and Philadelphia, branded
as the gang centers of the country,
today joined in an attempt to rid
themselves of terroriStS.
It was revealed through Dis
trict Attorney John Monaghan that
Robert Bunker, Chicago, had been
the guest of Judge Raymond Mac
Nellie and had promised coopera-
ton from the Illinois city in the
present investigation of crime in
Philadelphia.
Another chief major development
was the demand for removal of
Charles Beckman, chief of detec-
tiVes. The removal was asked by
the special grand jury that has
been investigating crime conditions
in Philadelphia, and as soon as the
request was made Mayor Mackey
asked Harry Davis, director of pub
lie service, to assume control of the
department.
Reports from the grand jury
room said that Beckman had re-
ceived offers from the rum ring,
which is supposed to have deposited
$10,0O0,00O in Philadelphia banks
within the last year.
The report said Beckman was not
''fit to hold any Office under the
municipal government"
The district attorneys Office re-
vealed they had seized checks
amounting to $4,000 which had
been passed between bootleggers
and central civic officials. No names
were made public.

RENSSELAER,, Ind, Sept. 8.-No
trace had been found here today of
five armed bandits who quietly
robbed the State Bank of Rensse-
laer in a daylight holdup Friday
and escaped with $4,000 in cash
and negotiable bonds of an unde-
termined amount.
Posses headed by Sheriff Harry
Rouse and an airpiane touring the
surrounding territory failed to find
a clew to the bandits who escaped
in blue Cadillac.
James H. Chapman. cashier, was
forced to lie on the floor while the
three women employees, Elizabeth
Hemphill, Catherine Luers and Vir-
ginia Kresler, and customer, F.
P. Robson, were ordered into an
other cage.
One of the men scooped up the
bonds and money and went out
to the car. He was joined shortly
by two of the others, and when
the fourth left the building the five
drove through the business district
and turned south.

SIFT FIREBUG PLOT
Blaze Starts in Warehouse
of State Factory.

Fire in a warehouse of the broom
factory of the State Board of IN
dustrial Aid for the Blind, Ethel
and Thirtieth Sts., this morning was
believed Of possible incendiary
origin.
The warehouse was used for
storing baled straw and was not
connected with the factory. Thirty
five blind workers in the factory re-
mained there, undisturbed while the
fire was going on.
Fire Captain Hanna said that the
blaze might have been caused by
spontaneous combustion, but be-
lieved an incendiary origin was
more likely, because of the state
ment of Superintendent Louis Hen
dershot that he never had heard of
a case of spontaneous combustion
in broom factory supplies.
