 Four other skvscrapers that have not been started still figure as fac tors in height contest One is the Crane Tower in Chicago, with plans for $50 feet, topped by flag pole or beacon just breaking through 1000 feet.

 They're all spades in this deck and Jim Fully calls them just that spades.
 Tully ex-hobo, eX-circus roust- about, later author and playwright, who rose from a millionaire to a mil lionaire. from brakerods to palaces of plenty, has let loose a flood of vitriol against Hollywood, the Vale of Vanity, in "Jarnegan," which, it is claimed, strips the mask off the capital of the cinema and shows what goes on behind the silver screen.
 Fully, cynic, scoffcr, iconoclast, has incorporated part of himself in this articulate drama of the silent | drama. "Jarnegan", like Tully, came up from the mud and, having l "arriyed", turned his back on Holly wood because of it's insinccrity. its false values it's sham. Strengthen ing the parallel, "Jarncgan", like ! Fully, has flaming red hair, is care 1 less of his appearance and has a tongue from which darts forked l Ii htning.
 "Jarnegan" came to Parsons theater, Hartford, last night with Richard Bennett in the title role It is a cruel, biting, vulgar drama shocking 10 finer scnsibilties, but gloriously acted. The chief charac- ter leaps to life in the powerful per sonality of Bennett, who is con stantly in the center of the mael- strom of action.

Springing at the man, he landed

that Belcher appeared more like

cold in less time than it takes to
tell it, the victim of that affray
skulked away that night, never to
appear again in the north woods.
From that moment on through
out his long vigil in the Crown
timbers, Belcher remained in SUI
preme control. His authority,
questioned here and there at var
ious intervals, was always upheld
by a like outcome of his appear
ance on the scenes of disturbance.
1t is told of him that he whipped
eight men at one time and did
not bear even a scratch to betray
the intensity of that engagement.
We were at Ghost river one
summer preparing camp for an
inspection by the Duke of Con-
naught, then Governor-General of
Canada. 1t vas a magnificent lay

Belcher and two constables were
assigned to repair a culvert over
which the official party would

received the order. and the men
were lined up at the kitchen, Bel

could eat and be ready for work

saying,
"If you didn't have those two
stripes I'd punch your face
Il haven't got them on now"
came the reply, and the pugnac-
ious non-com shed his coat with
a celebrity born Of long practice.
The teamster began to modify
his irritable attitude upon seeing
the readiness with which the
trooper accepted the challenge,
ooh, we'll, l wouldn't strike a
corporal because you would report
me-"
you don't have to strike a cor

knocked the teamster into a sitt5

if my friend there on the table
wants to mix it, I'll make him
this proposition: Well clear the
floor, disarm ourselves and see
which is the best man."
In every mans makeup there
is an element of sportsmanship.
The resentment Of those harden
ed veterans of many a saloon
brawl turned to admiration for
this plucky Englishman, aId they
accepted the challenge by hurting
the tables and chairs to the four
corners. Having carefully draped
his scarlet tunic over the back OF
a chair, the corporal turned to
find the woodsman rushing for
him with outstretched arms. They
cliDched, the logger striving to
crush the breath from the police
man, while Belcher was jabbing
his opponent in the side, each
blow producing a grunt from the
p%onderous hulk. In the dim light
of the oil lamp, the excited log

of fighting, but their admiration
for the officer scared to enthus-
iastic heights when he command

AS the lumberjack came again to-

out with~a huge foot and the
blow landed on Belcher's hip. He
