he was sent to a ball as the escort
of Vera Worth, the society editor.
He fell in love with her knowing
that she was very intimate with sew
eral other men. And then he acct
dentally killed his employer. He was
finally saved by a confession of Vera.
This in short is the story of the
life Of the cub reporter as played by
John Gilbert. The fault that 1
find with the picture is that it isn't
Gilbert's type. He is made to lay
himself at the feet of the society
editor, Jeanne Eagels, and beg to
be trampled on. In short Gilbert
is made to look "sappy," and that is
far from his line.
The child life of Whitcomb is
rather lengthy in order to lay a
foundation for further events, and
near the end the action lags pitt
fully. When the prison gates open
to free him, the boy goes home in
daze with his mother, who is far
too adoring. The girl waits for him,
but either he does not see her or
he does not want to.
The picture leaves you with a
feeling that something important is
lacking. You feel that a point is
being driven home but that it is
not cinched. Quite an unsatisfac-
tory feeling, I think.
The work of Miss Eagels is good,
but her part is weak, so that the
balance is rather more on the mega
tive side. I would say that Man,
Woman and Sin" is a mediocre pic
ture.

Secretary of State Quizzed
on Anti-War Treaty by
Committee.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Secre-
tary of State Frank B. Kellogg's
defense of his anti-war treaty I'M
der questioning b ysome doubtful
members of the senate foreign re-
lations committee was the out
standing development of the day in
congress.
The treaty has been signed by
f1fty-nine nations. Some of his
questioners talked vaguely about the
desirability of a reservation protect
ing this nation from European in
trigueS.
Senator James A. Reed, Missouri,
and some others appeared to be lay
ing the ground for a reservation
specifically protecting this country
against any possibility that the
Monroe Doctrine might be waived
in any particular by the treaty; and
against any inference that the
United States assumed any moral
obligations in the affairs of other
nations.
Kellogg maintained the treaty
did all these things as it stands.
The committee will meet again
Tuesday to question Kellogg fur
ther.
Meantime the senate and the
house continued in routine fash
ion, the senate listening to a de-
fense of the John Boulder dam bill
by Senator Pittman Dem., New,
and the house wrangling over de-
tails of the first appropriation bill
of the session, the treasury and

for next year.

Porch; Woman Makes
Escape in Bus.

By United Press
CANTON, o., Dec. 7.-Police and
county authorizes today launched a
search for a girl who called Bernard
Fearn, 35, to the porch of his home
at Waco Thursday night, and killed
him.
Five shots were fired into Fearn's
body.
Before he died he told his wife
he did not know the girl, who, it
was learned, calmly boarded a Can
ton bus and disappeared.
Fearn died in his wife's arms.
RapS on Door
Sheriff Ed Gibson was called and
questioned Mrs. Fearn.
Fearn, described by residents of
Waco as an "up and coming young
man." was dining with his wife and
their 9-year-old daughter when
some one raped on the front door.
Mrs. Fearn answered the knock
and the young woman, described by
Mrs. Fearn as "the flapper type,
asked for Fearn. Then she stepped
down off the porch.
AS Fearn appeared she fired.
Fearn fell.
The girl ran out of the yard and
down the road, Mrs. Fearn said. A
few moments later she hailed bus
and was en- route to Canton.
Mrs. Fearn, although panic
stricken, dragged her husband into
the house. She did not call the
sheriff until her husband was dead.
Victim Highly Regarded
Mrs. Fearn described the girl as
"a slender, pale young woman"
Sheriff Gibson said the killing
apparently was planned to coincide
with the arrival Of the Canton bus.
Gibson later said he learned the
girl left Canton-four miles distant
from Waco-only a half hour be-
fore Fearn was slain.
Gibson questioned the driver of
the bus who described the woman
as about Is and very pretty" He
said she wore a black fur coat, a
turban hat and galoshes.
"She kept the collar of her coat
turned up about her face" the bus
driver said.
Fearn was a coal dealer and was
highly thought Of in the commun-
ity. He was described as prosperous.
