.hYSTERy BOAT

RUM RUNNERS
u. S. Tries Out Armored
Speed Chaser for Florida
Coast Work.
BY ALFRED p. RECK
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Rum
runners who ply up and down the
south Florida coast, will receive a
new years greeting from the coast
guard in the form of triple-threat,
mystery rum chaser.
This boat, now being tested out at
Baltimore, will be dispatched to
Miami on Jan. 1, to make the south
Florida peninsula as dry as possible.
According to coast guard head
quarters, the mystery boat carries a
three-fold warning to rum runners

fore placed in a boat of it's size. 1t
has machine guns and one Founders,
and it is equipped with an armor-
plated bow, knife-edged and capa-
BILE of wicked ramming blow.
No vessel known in the rum rum
ming trade can touch the new coast
guard craft for speed. Expert
marine engineers have taken a
sixty-foot speed boat with a wide
curved and dominating prov. They
armor plated the hull and the pilot
house with half-inch steel, capable
of withstanding machine gun fire.
At first the engineers tried the
boat with two 245-horse power Lib
erty airplane engines. 1t worked
successfully so they added a third
engine which gives The vessel 1875
horse power and pushes It through
the water at better than fifty miles
an hour with a roar like that of a
hurricane.

CITY BOARDS
TO TALK OVER
BRIDGE TANCLE
Delaware Street Problem to
Be Aired at Park and
Works Confab.

A joint meeting of the park and
works boards, to consider a plan to
relieve traffic congestion north of
Delaware street bridge on Fall
creek, has been called for Jan. II.
On motion OF Michael E. Foley,
park commissioner, the park board
Thursday voted to invite the works
board to sit in joint session. The
Delaware street bridge tangle has
troubled officials for several years.
The city plans to widen and
straighten several streets north of
the bridge and construct suitable
approaches. The plan temporarily
was blocked several months ago
when Jose-Balz Company refused
to sell a tract north of the span
for the appraised value of $4,000.
The company asked $125,000, which
city officials declined to pay.
Mayor L. Ert Slack attended the
park session Thursday, revealing
some of his general plans for park
improvements.
Slack Endorsed the proposal to
buy ground along Fall creek to pro .
tect the bank" and to ask the county
to purchase the banks outside city
limits as a Identification program.
Completion of the original KeSsler
boulevard project over Eifty-ninth
street to Millersville was urged by
the mayor. He expressed belief that
the government some day may be
willing to build a new road to FIT.

the Millersville road, and the boule-
ward system.
81 would not have laid out Kessler
as it was built because it was too
much of a real estate promotion
project. But there is a moral OBJ
legation on the part of the city TO
carry out the original agreement"
Slack said.
Foley told the board that ex-
Governor James P. Goodrich was
interested in seeing the fort road
built by the government and had
promised assistance in obtaining
appropriation.
Dissatisfaction with the Delaware
street bridge project and the ap-
proaches was voiced by Slack.
II think that bridge will fall
down some day. I don't know any
thing about the engineers who built
it, but there are cracks an inch
wide in the span," Slack said.
Slack said he believed that

Washington boulevard, Meridian
street and Central avenue will be
the principal north side arteries for
years to come. He reiterated his
stand for buses on Meridian street.
There should be good, wide
boulevard north of the bridge, with
a concrete wall to protect the drive.
We should provide sidewalk. 1t
is not just a question of giving folks
a place to drive. People like to
walk along such scenic spot"
Slack said.

things go wrong. Dick decides to die
with his secret and he kills Buck.
Dick, who plays the role of Nickie
ElkinS, is sent to prison and then
the trial scene is just suggested-a
wonderful handling of the situation.
We then see the fight of Nickie to
keep his secret, and he does. Then
the fight of the Governors wife to
save her boy and keep the knowl-
edge from her husband. She sue
ceeds in both, but I will not tell you
how, because there is enough sus-
pense in "The Moose" for at least
three movies.

ural lights I think that there is room
for improvement, because some Of
the photography is cloudy and not
even all the time. But think the
experiment is worth trying.
Barthelmess makes one feel the
purpose Of his silence and his suf-
fering, and I am sure that most
of us feel just like Dick did when he
started his death march to the gal
lows. Here is realistic direction and
wonderful photography. Lima Bas-
quette does some fine emotional
work in several scenes. Alice Joyce
is cast as the silent suffering wife

yet other actions substantiate the
rumor.
Olive Borden is cast as Joan Cen
fury, the richest and prettiest girl
in the metropolis, who became en-
gagged to Douglass Pell, played by
Cornelius Keep. Then she has her
tryst with Floyd Bennings, who is
played by Antonio Moreno. She
confesses in court what happened,
and saves Bennings from the cleo
trio chair. They finally marry.
Miss Borden gives her character
the appearance of a girl who faces
the world and will bluff all Corners.
She makes a very Indifferent Joan.
Moreno is playing the part of Floyd
Bennings and is supposed to be a
woman-hater, but he fails in this

Alter thrills had
worked her up, the real thieves
arrived on the scene and one of the
men in the joke was killed. the
picture became melodrama. Tortures
are planned by a Chinese person,
who is after the jewel and many
fights ensue and finally every thing
turns out all right.
I am not trying to belittle the
picture, for it has the action that is
essential to good mystery. Things
happen so fast that chills keep run

here an opportunity to do sonic real
work, something more than be

Her support, Neil Hamilton, is
projected into the background, if
such a term may be used. very eff
fectively. He forms the basis of Miss
Ralston's action. The plot is sub

are natural enough if the person
doing them had not tainted, as 1

The remainder of the cast did

a good mystery, melodramatic farce.
