with uplifted hand, paused a moment as
he gazed out over the sea of faces. A
dead silence ensued. The atmosphere
seemed to be charged and surcharged
with the fervor and spirit Of the great
occasion. Up from the great river val
leys and out of the tablelands beyond
the hills and buttes OF the badlands
came the silent harbingers of hope and
promise in a new land. Determination
to conquer was gently merged into the
spirit OF enthusiasm to go forward with

He placed in nomination Gen. Nelson A.

Of the splendid qualifications of General

Some Of tho leaders who visited
Senator Robinson declared conf

that he win, point to his statement

Al for the mart Senator Robinson

the state are confident that the SEN

MYSTERY SHOT
WOUNDS AGENT
IN COURT ROOM
Federal Dry Employe Seriously
Wounded by Bullet from
sNOWherdS' \

Chicago, Oct. 2s.-(P)-A federal
dry agent, Thomas Ryan. was shot
down in federal courtroom yester-
day in the presence of 40 persons;
yet who shot him, or why, remained
q mystery.
Ryan himself thought for q Sec
ond that it was q joke: that someone
had exploded . firecracker in the
small room in which United States
Commissioner Edwin Walker was
holding court. Then he felt the bull
let, which struck him in the shoul-
der, cried "I'm shot!" and slumped ia
the floor. He was seriously, though
not fatally, wounded.
In the moment of excitement that
followed at least six men left the
courtroom. Then the doors were
locked.
No assailant could be found. II
was . bullet from .25-calibre auto
matte that had wounded Ryan, but
such . weapon, nor even an empty
cartridge Of any sort, was found
among officials and spectators. The
suggestion was later made that the
bullet could have been fired from
. fountain pen" gun, but no search
for such = weapon was made.
Ryan had risen from his chair ia
be sworn as = witness in q liquor
hearing when tho shot was fired
It was established that the shot
could not have been fired from out
side the room. The investigation was
followed by . reenactment Of the
courtroom scene, and gave rise tc
the theory that the wounding Of
Ryan might have been Z mistake,
Some thought that Policeman Mi
chael Shannon, who was to have been
the next witness, was the intended
victim. -s

Hart was bashful. Perhaps his

IN inferiority co:1plex. At any rate,
he couldn't bring himself to plead
his cause.
The girl was Miss Eleanor Gla.er
Schwartz, also 10. She loved, too;
but she realized Hart would never,
never become an ardent swain with

Catherine Poland, %, who was en-

land. "I'll give him . few lessons
and see whether you should marry
him."
It was done. Hart obediently had
. number Of dates with Mrs. Poland.
And At last Mrs. Poland reported to
the girl that Hart would now be an
eminently satisfactory lover. So the
chaperon stepped out Of the picture
and the clerk and the brokers'
daughter began having dates.
Presently the young couple de-
cided they wanted to elope. Mrs.
Poland took them to Kansas City,
saw them married and helped them
get establlshed In . little apartment.
About this time Philip Schwartz,
the girls father, learned about It.
He traced the newlyweds, rot two
Chicago detectives and Z police
woman, came to Kansas City and
shattered the love nest to bits. Now
the whole party has gone back, in
cluding the chaperon.
Just what will be done about the
marriage, was not made quite clear.
The girls parents are unyielding in
their opposition to It.

Doctors Jungman and Stack
house Present Plans to City
Commission

Hoping to interest the city COM
mission in . campaign against
diphtheria in Bismarck, DR.. j. D,
Jungman, of the state health de-
partment, and DR.. C. E. Stackhouse,
city health officer, presented plans
Of I campaign to that body in regu-
lar meeting last night.
DR.. Jungman, head Of the division
Of communicable diseases, told OF
the plan used in many other cities,
and DR.. Stackhouse supported his
belief that = campaign should be
waged against the disease in the
city.
Educating the citizens to the harm
Of the disease, Of the susceptibility
Of children, is the first step in the
proposed campaign. Getting the
city behind the movement is the Sec
ond step. Securing permission from
parents to haze their children inoc-
ulated with toxin antitoxin comes
third. Administering Of the inoc-
ulations is the closing step, accord
ing to DR.. Jungman.
Campaigns Of this nature are be-
ing encouraged by the state health
department and many cities are get
ting behind the movement, the state
health officer said.
Different Than Antitoxin
"The toxin antitoxin is different
than the antitoxin," DR.. Jungman
explains. "Toxin antitoxin is ad-
ministered % preventive while an
titoxin is administered after the dis
ease has been contracted"
mo i'll effects can come Of the
three weekly inoculations Of toxin
antitoxin," he continued. 'lnocula-
tions may be made by private ply
sicians or city physicians, providing
the parents consent" he said.
Diphtheria sometimes kills, and it
frequently leaves bad effects Of the
heart. It 10 one Of the most danger
Gus diseases Of childhood. United
States health records show that in
the registered areas alone It causes
the death Of $4,000 children an
nually.
"Some persons may be carriers Of
the disease and not show clinical ef-
fects, !" Dr. Jungman explains. 10Th
err, who are more susceptible may
contract the disease from them. The
best plan ID to defeat diphtheria be-
fore the disease gets . good start in
any community. Where the toxin

show no i'll effects from the inocula-

Comedian Tells Why He Chose
Wealthy Society Girl fer
Next Picture

Hollywood, Calf, Oct. 49,
Charlie Chaplin has again become q
gentleman-according to Anita Loos
standard that Gentlemen prefer
blonds."
In other words the world famou.
comedian has again reverted tc
blonds, or rather q blond. for hi.
leading lady-this particular blond
being 20-year.old Virginia Cherrill
wealthy Chicago society girl. Mis-,
Cherrill is the first blond Chaplir
has selected for his leading lad,
since Edna Purviance, who played
in : number Of two reelers with him
Following Edna were Georgia Hale
Lita Gray (who later became Mrs
Chaplin) and Merna Kennedy.
Although she had never been be.
fore . movie camera before in hel
life, Miss Cherrill was signed by
Chaplin as his leading lady in "City
Lights" q story Of the Paris under.
world, which will 60 into production
within the next few weeks. HI
also has an option to use her in q
second film if he wants her.
Final ga" Cinched 1t
Virginia's name had considerable
to do with her being signed. She is
the fifth consecutive leading lady OF
Charles whose first name ends with
the letter "a"
"Why," asked the comedian.
Because I'm a fatalist," he re.
piled. II had tested more than q
hundred girls for the part and was
on the verge Of signing two or three
Of them, but something told me that
the girl I wanted would still put in
an appearance. Then I met Miss
Cherrill at a party. Immediately
thought that she was just the girl
wanted for my picture. And when
learned that her first name ended
in a. that clinched it."
For the time being at least Vir.
ginie is more. or less under the wina
of Sue Carol, about the only society
girl who has ever been really sue.
cessful in pictures. The two girls
have been friends since they were
eleven years old. Sue, having been
q member of the film colony for
about year and half, will be able
to give Virginia good many point
ers that should prove invaluable ia
her.
She's Really Thrilled
Is Virginia excited about her new
role? Just listen to this:
II have never been so thrilled in
my life. It is almost like q dream
to me. In fact, even in my widest
dreams ! have never seen myself "a
a screen actress. l did have sort OF
desire to break into pictures after
Sue made such a success Of her work
though. And now l am going to
work with Charlie Chaplin, whom
always have thought was one Of the
greatest actors on the screen. ! had
an idea that q girl would have to
have years of experience as an
actress before Chaplin would even
consider her."
Hollywood gossipers already are
beginning to speculate as to whether
the beautiful Miss Cherrill will be-
come the third Mrs. Charles Spencer
Chaplin. As vet there are no
grounds for such speculation other
than the fact both Of Charles pre-
vious wives, Mildred Harris and Lita
Grey, also were his leading ladies.
And Virginia is just as charming Is
she is beautiful.
