BLACKMER, FUGITIVE OIL WITNESS
 BECOMES MAN WITHOUT 4 COUNTRY

WASHINGTON, san. l--Flee. ing to Europe when the Teapot Dome Oil scandal broke in Wash. ington in 1923, Henry M. Black. mer, wealthy Denver oil man, has become virtually a man without country"
 Disregarding demands and threats by the United States gov ernment, Blackmer has lived neax' ly three years in hiding. HA passport has been revoked: he has ignored subpoenas; $100,000 of his Liberty bonds have been seized, and he had been cited to appear in the supreme court here Janu- ary to show cause why lie should not be adjudged in con. tempt of court.
 Government attorneys believe Blackmer and James O'Neill, a former president of the Prairie Oil & Gas company of Kansas, also in hiding. possess important information regarding $230.500 in Liberty bonds which are alleged to have found their way from the Continental Trading Company.

Montana, prosecutor of the com mittee which unearthed the IT. regularities in the oil leases after Blackmer and O'Neill fled to Eli- rope. It provided that an Ameri- can citizen could be subpoenaed broad and made subject to fine of S1o0.000 if he failed to respond to the courts summons. Blackmer rose to a position of eminence in the oil industry from the obscurity of a small town law office. He went west from Wor. cester, Mass, and began the prac- tice of law in Colorado Springs, Colo. in 1891. He was district attorney there from 1893 to 1896. He was counsel for several rail roads and president of one. He later was head of the Interna. tional Trust Company of Denver and still later chairman of the board of the Midwest Refining company.
 Blackmer's rise socially was al most as meteorie as his finahcial rise. He was twice married. Tho first marriage ended in divorce the second in separation.
 The first Mrs Blackmer was Daisy Gordon, belle of 90 years ago. Two children were born to them-Myron and Margaret. the latter now Mrs. Erie o. Kistler.
 Lucy Carter. whose father built fortune from the manufacture of pills. was Blackmers second wife.
 Since Blackmer went to Europe he has steadfastly remained sil- ent, except for his declaration that he will not return to the United States under any circum- stances.
 Blackmer now is 60 years old. He has riches and comfort and luxury, but government attorneys wonder if. like Edward Everett Hale's pitiful hero. he won't somc time feel an urge to return. If he does they believe they will then have the key that will un- lock the real story of Teapot Dome.

"FooTLoOSE WIDOWS"
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

."Footloose Widows" the War ner picture which comes to the Coliseum Theatre tonight for a run of 2 days, is one of the best farce-comedies ever written. It IS a. story of two girls in fashion able New York speciality shop who decide that the way to nab a rich husband is to go to big hotel in Florida, wearing the gowns tha. have made their shop famous, and to pose as wealthy widows, foot loose. and fancy free. They go. And they run into as an amusing set of complications as the in genuity of farce writer has ever devised. ss .s'' r
 The writer, in this case, is Bea- trice Burton, who also wrote "Tae Jazz Bride" The story has d. ready appeared in serial and book form, but it is said to have achieved its real fulfillment on the screen. This is partly due to the clever adaptation made by Daryl Francis Zanuck, but even more to the brilliantly sophistl- cated direction of Roy Del Ruth one of the several Warner diree- tors upon whom the subtle influ- ence of Lubitsch has been bene- ficently felt.
 Louise Fazenda is featured. But in this picture she is not the Fla zenda of old Sennett Swedish serving maid days. but finished comedienne, who has left her slapstick behind her and achieved an impersonation that for it's charm. beauty and gay sense of comedy values puts her close to the top of screen comediennes.
