WILKINS WAS SILENT
 LAST NIGHT, BARROW

Captain George Wilkins, at Barrow, was silent last night. Not murmer from him could be raised by the Sew ard Signal Corps station. And 1t was an excellent night for reception, too, stated Capt. Robert B. Woolverton, who seems to be the only man in the world who has thus far been able to pick up Wilkins messages. From the tone of the messages Wilkins has been sending out it Is assumed he Is unaware that any of his stuff got thru.
 Captain Woolverton sent to him and listened in for a solid hour last night but Wilkins wave was silent with the exception of some slight amateur in- reference This interference has again been reported to the Associated Press as had previously been request ed. It Is thought, due to the poor re- ception of Wednesday night, that Will kins Is still continuing to have diff ficulty with his motor which he uses when the plane Is not in flight.

FEATURE AT LIBERTY
 Is WESTERN CLASSIC

Lately there seems to be. deiuge of Western Frontier plays and the public demand has been over-satisfied, but the movies, as other business, grows perfect in classes of work by much practice and especially is this true of the western feature. Profit Ing by the criticisms of unrealness and lack of authenticity the late pro auctions are far more real and truth full to historical data than the old, and therefore of much greater inter est.
 The feature last night at the Liber- ty theater was the most natural and clear picture of the final troublous times with the Indians shown here yet and has the affect of transporting you right back into place in the ac- tion portrayed. It was good all the way through and held the absorbed interest of those who saw it. It gives true picture of the last independence of the Indian,
 The two-reeI comedy preceding the feature was unusually laughable and the rich sap's valet kept the audience in an uproar.,:.
