that the so-called labor vote, for ex-

THE BINGHAM GIRL"
 COLISEUM TONIGHT
.I 5. -977-p9 -sg,

Lois Wilson, known to some as their favorite movie star, to others as the girl who helped to make the Covered Wagon" but to all as one of the worlds greatest ac. tresses, has deserted the type oi role that made her famous to play in version of "The Ginghan Girl the snappy little show which stampeded Broadway, some few years ago.
 Miss Wilson undoubtedly proves that she Is very versatile per former. and she Is as convincing in this lighter role as in any of her preceding pictures. For some time the actress had been asking her producers to star her in a different type of play, and it is quite obvious that she got more than a little pleasure out of "The Gingham Girl"
 The picture, which will be shown at the Coliseum Theatre to- night and tomorrow. brings to- gether two stars who will probably be seen more in the future, as they form a remarkable team. One is, of course, Miss Wilson, the other George Arthur. Arthur has the role of the small town smart Aleck" who finally came through, and he squeezes it to the very last inch.
 The cast includes Jerry Miley, Hazel Keener, Jed Prouty. Betty Francisco and Charles Crockett.

A fantastic tale, hearing out
in reality the horrors of under
world fiction, was told at po-
lice headquarters today by the
step-father of a 16-year-old
girl.
Police are seeking would-be ab.
ductor OF the girl who first at
tempted to deaden her senses by
prickling her forehead with mar
cotic needle. The attack closely fol-
lowed recent Attempts of police and
Federal agents to round up person
connected with the dope traffic.
Jabbed her-She Ran
While on her way home from
school yesterday rhe victim OF the
assault, described as very pretty, was
confronted by man who, with
quick motion, jabbed her with the
poison needle.
The girl either tainted or was
overcome by the narcotics, her step
father told Inspector Henry G..
Pratt, but first she managed to
flee from her assailant to nearby
apartment house doorway.
According to the story told police
bv her father she was attacked at
IL o'clock in the morning and lay
in a stupor in the doorway until
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
1t was not until 10 o'clock last
night that she related her har-
rowing experience to her mother.
Name Of Girl Refused
The step-father refused to give
the girls name, Inspector Pratt
said. when he learned that such
an action might lead to the publish
ing Of the schoolgirls name. He
promised, however, to return later
with as full a. description OF the
man as it is possible to secure.
The step-father said he made the
report as he feared that other
young girls might be similarly ell
dangered.
He said he would be willing to
appear as a complainant on ofric1al
records only in case Of the appre-
hension of a suspect. No officiaI
record of the matter has been made,
Inspector Pratt said.
The attack occurred in the north.
west section. The appearance OF
the other persons, it Is believed,
caused the abductor to flee.
The step-father was described as
"a citizen Of some standing"

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Mrs.
Mabel Walker WilIebrandt should
be asked to resign her position as
Assistant Attorney General by both
President Coolidge and Attorney
General Sargent" Senator Edward
I. Edwards, of New Jersey. a
Democrat, declared in a scorching
statement made public today.
"She should be driven from Of
fice," said Senator Edwards, who
accused the woman dry prosecutor
Of fostering bigotry and breaking
her oath of office.
Mrs. Willebrandt is now in Ohio
making series of anti-Smith POI
litical speeches.
Calls Speech Disgrace
Senator Edwards said that Mrs.
Willebrandt's address last Sunday
night before the Northeast Ohio con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church lis a disgrace to the de-
partment of which she is part.
IF the Department of Justice is
not mockery or the very thing fSr
which 1t was Observation-Disclosures
and justice to all men-Mrs. Willie
brandt should be driven from office
so that she might spread her poison
Gus anti-Smith propaganda unsup-
ported by the present Republican
administration"
Edwards accused Mrs. Willebrandt,
the anti-saloon league land the in
tolerant elements to which she Is
appealing for aid and succor OF the
Hoover ticket" of starting 1le
whispering campaign" which Gov
ernor AL Smith recently denounced
In a speech at Oklahoma City.
He said the country was flooded
months ago with "venomous and un-
Smiths character" and that they
tolerants of the lowest stripe"
Charging that Mrs. Willebrandt
has violated her oath of office. Ed
wards said:
Oath Broken, He Says
because of her activities since
the Kansas City convention, Mrs.
Willebrandt has consistently Vio-
lated the spirit and letter OF the
bill of rights-the very instrument
which she promised to honor and
uphold when she took the oath of
office of Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral, and has dragged religion and
the churches into politics. Her
actions and her words attacking the
honesty and integrity of Governor
Smith will receive the condemnation
of every decent element in America.
IF she wishes to prostitute her
high office on the altar of politics,
why does she not condemn the Ohio
gang of thieves who were respon-
sible for her appointment to the
political office she holds today and
who were driven out Of the Harding
Cabinet because of their treachery
to the nation?
Let her remove the mote from
her own eye before she seeks the
defeat OF candidate by appealing to
the basest and most dangerous ele.
ment in American life today-re-
ligious prejudice"
