Youths Obtain
Small Judgments

Judgment in the sum of $500
each was awarded to Eugene and
Kenneth Farmer for injuries suffer
ed as a result of the Hallowe EN-
shooting in Imperial in 1926 by
Judge A. G.. Finney following trial
of two civil actions brought by the
youths against Mark l.. Hardin.
Both had asked punitive damages
of $4,000 each in the two suits.
The plaintiffs in the complaints
charged that they had suffered con-
siderable pain, loss of time in school
and were handicapped in various
other manners as a result of the
shooting. Hardin was tried erimin-
ally for the shooting and after n
jury had failed to agree pleaded
guilty to a charge of assault.
Edgar B. Hervey appeared as at
torney for the defendant in the
civil actions while j. f. Simpson
appeared for the plaintiffs. The two
eases were consolidated by the court
for the purpose of trial.

THEATERS

If Emil Jannings continues max
ing such great pictures, critics
throughout the world will find it
Lard to procure adjectives to ade-
quately describe them.
Jannings has scored again, this
time in remarkable characterize
tion as military general. His new
est Paramount picture has been
titled "The Last Commando and
it opened an engagement at the
Valley Thcater yesterday.
This American-born German actor
presents in this new production so
commendable a figure that it can
not be compared to those of "Thc
Way of All Flesh,' and Variety"
Added to this remarkable charac-
terization is an able director, Josef
Won Sternberg, who directed Gun
der-world,' and supporting east
that might be classed as all-star, -
the list of players including Will
liam Powell, Evelyn Brent and
Michael Visaroff.
"The Last Command is q story
OF the red revolt IN RuSSla, SHOW
ing Jannings as mighty general,
strictly military but beloved by his
men. He befriends a girl but i'm
prisons her companion, the girl in
turn saving him from death at the
hands of the blood dmad revolut5
ionists. He then comes to America
in search of this fair savior, and
there the thread Of the story takes
n strange twist.
1t is a gripping story, one with
poignant love and drama, mystery,
and thrills, so far different rron
"Thc Way of All Flesh" and "Var-
iety' that it is hard to believe the
same star played in them all.

Command as an elaborate product
ion, and the fine acting of every
one, particularly that Of Jannings,
marks it as one of the mightiest
pictures ever made.
1t took George Sidney twenty
seven years to get to Broadway, the
goal of every stage actor.
But after his arrival, he was a
star from the first performance un-
til he attained his present enviable
status on the screen.
Now under contract to First Nat
ional Pictures, Sidney will be seen
on the screen of the Valley Theater
beginning tomorrow in Flying
Romeos," in which he is featured
with Charlie Murray, his regular
partner in cinematic comedy.
Sidney for years played in bur
lesque shows, musical comedy and
vaudeville, and toured the country
in road shows.
1t WASH t until those q years had
elapsed since his theatrical career
began, however, until he managed
to attract the attention of Broad
way. The play was Aaron Hoff-
man s Welcome Stranger, and
when the curtain had gone down on
the first performance Sidney was a
star.
His first screen appearance was
in "Potash and Perlmutter in Holly
wood and since that picture he has
never returned to the stage.
"Flying Romeos" was produced
for First National Pictures by T..
NJ. Asher and directed by Mervyn

POLITICIANS KEEP
WATCH ON WEST
Smiths Oklahoma Speech
Seen of Little Value;
G. O. P. Confident.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Democratic and Republican ears alike
are close to the grass roots in the West
these days. They are striving to catch
reaction of the farmers to the Smith
speeches. While it is bit early, the
opinion generally expressed so far is
that Smith has helped himself with his
farm speech in Omaha, but that his
speech in Oklahoma City. attacking the
"bigots," has left the situation practi-
cally unchanged. Arguing with the
bigoted is not likely to prove profitable.
While the Smith invasion of the
West is causing the Republicans some
anxious moments, there is no doubt
but what the Hoover campaign trip
into New Jersey and the appeal which
he made to labor in his Newark address
has given the Democratic leaders a
good deal to think about. The reac-
ton of many labor leaders to Mr..
Hoover's speech has been very salts
factory to the Republican campaign
managers.
campaign Spccucu Up
Certainly the campaign has been
| considerably speeded up in the last
week, due in great part to the campaign
| speeches of both Gov. Smith and Mr..
Hoover. Ina weeks time Smith will be
on his way back to New York to attend
| the Democratic State convention at
Rochester, october l. He will have COM
pleted his first swing around through the
West, which takes him as far as Denver
and Butte, Mont. The West will have had
an opportunity to see him and to hear
| him. Meanwhile Mr. Hoover will have
put behind him another week of his
front porch" campaigning, with hum
dreds of visitors coming to his head
| quarters here.
Among the most important political
events in the East this week will be
the Republican State convention in
New York. Upon it's outcome will hinge
to some extent the fate of the presi-
Dental ticket in the Empire State, with
it's As electoral votes. There is not the
slightest doubt the Republicans need
all the harmony they can achieve and
good, strong State ticket. Republican
| leaders in New York are talking a lot
| just now about carrying the State for
Hoover against Smith. But when they
are talking off the cards, they admit
that Smith still has the ledge" In New
York and that the odds favor his carry
ing the State They do insist, however
that conditions are improving in New
York State and that they are hopeful
of unity of action by all factions In
support of the Republican national
ticket.

PRINCESS INJURED;
CAUSE A MYSTERY
Elaine Lippe Lipski in Hospi-
taI-PoIice Report
Names Attorney.

Princess Elaine Won de Lippe-Lippski,
founder and hostess of Washington's S
famous Carry-On Club, for World War
service men, and a principal in the
past several years in extensive litiga-
ton here and in New York, growing
out of family affairs, was taken to
Emergency Hospital last night in a
highly nervous condition. Her left eye
was discolored, her nose bore bruise
md she complained of pains around
lie ribS.a
The cause of her condition remained
a mystery for several hours. Then po-
lice drew from her an incoherent story
to the effect that she had been in an
argument at her home, 1919 Twenty
| first street, over law suit involving
| herself and child. and bringing the
name of prominent Washington at
torney into the case.
Police Report Made.
The following formal report ON the
affair was made by Patrolman S. F..
Gravely of the third precinct, who in
vestigated:
"At about $50 pm, this date. Elaine
Hale, white, 40 years old, 1919 Twenty
first street northwest, stats she was as
saulted by Col. Ashby Williams, home
address unknown. Office address seventh
floor, H. L. Rust Building, Fifteenth
and K streets northwest. Treated at
home by Dr. Charles Hoffman. her
personal physician. Removed to Emer-
gency Hospital and treated by DR.. John
Lyons for lacerations of the forehead
and other minor injuries. Not serious
Mrs Hale states she will not prosecute
Col. Williams if he is arrested"
Col. Ashby Williams is a we'll known
attorney here and a member of the
Cosmos Club. He served with distinc-
ton in the World War with the 32Oth
Infantry, entering the service as a
chaplain and leaving it as lieutenant
colonel
Princess Elaine returned home from
New York. where she had spent the
Summer, shortly after o'clock, and
half an hour afterward a doctor was
summoned to administer treatment to
the bruised eye and nose. But when
she grew nervous and excited, the
ambulance was called and she was re-
moved to the hospital.
Interviewed by Police.
Lieut. Holmes. Precinct Detective Will
son and Policeman Gravely. all of the
third precinct, interviewed the princess
for half an hour at the hospital, but. on
account of her condition and her re-
luctance to talk, they we're unable to
obtain a detailed version of the affair.
The princess. however. warned the Of
ficers that should they make a report
on the case, she would deny it, and If
they arrested the person responsible,
she would not institute prosecution.
Because of the refusal of the princess
to press charges against her assailant
police made no further investigation
of the case. An arrest will not be made,
it was said unless warrant is issued.
While the condition of the princess
is not regarded as serious, physicians
at the hospital said she probably would
have to remain there for several days.
An ex-ray examination will be made

OIL HEARING BAN
PROTESTED BY j. S.
Note Is Sent to Colombia,
Following Cancellation
of Concession.
Ry the Associated Press.

Secretary of State kellogg has en-
tered formal protest against action of
the Colombian government in its re-
fusal to permit American Minister Sam
uel H. Piles to petition for a hearing
for American oil companies whose
5000, 0,000-acre concession has been can
celed by the Colombian government.
In note, delivered September 13 by
Minister Piles at Bogota, Secretary
Kellogg expressed surprise that the
Colomian government. contrary to pro-
cedure between friendly nations, had
declined the request of the Washington
Government to exercise its right to
make inquiries on behalf of it's ma
tionalS.
The note declared the United States
had requested nothing that it would
not grant Colombia. It said that the
United States cannot permit Colombia's
refusal to deal with the matter to cause
It's government to deSist from according
assistance and protection to American
cltlzens as may seem proper and neces-
~~.N AAACoooSC was WIFI
the promise that the American Govern
ment will continue to follow with in
terest the further progress of the case.
Follows Cancellation.
Secretary Kellogg's protest grew out
OF situation arising from Colombia's S
cancellation in 1926 of the Varco con-
session, granted to a syndicate Of
american oil companies incorporated in
colombia under the name Compania
Colomblana del Petroleo. Ninety-five
per cent OF the companys capital stock
Is American-oWned
The company protested that the an
nulment of the lease was made on
grounds. it contended, unjustified by
rates OF the case. The Colombian gov
ernment failed to reply to company
representatives and no judicial action
was taken by either side
The Colombian government later
agreed that it's cancellation could not
be justified by grounds cited in the 1926
decree, but coIrtended that the company
1ad not fulfilled its obligation under the
contract by failure to work the conces-
sion during 1923, 1924 and 1925. The
