latest mystery thriller, Spies" which
was brought to this country on the

Spies" was directed by Fritz Lang,
Of international fame, and is probably
best remembered for his Metropolis"
Director Lang in Spies" brings to light
the various methods of crooks, their
painstaking years of clever cunning and
their means of destroying nation. The
result is dramatic narrative of con-
tinental adventure, realistic and scien-
titic, yet imaginative in its treatment.
The plot centers about mysterious
character named Haghi, who has host
of private agents scattered about Eu-
rope. The story and plot are SUFFICIENT

radio, television, pneumatic tubes and
telautograph-the instrument which
transmits written message from one

these are only some of the wonders of
this age which aid greatly in this story

BANKS LEND CHICAGO
FUNDS FOR PAY ROLLS
$4o,ooo,ooo Given to City and

CHICAGO, April 3.-The Chicago
Tribune said today that nine Chicago
banks and three New York investment
houses lent s40,000,000 to the city and
the school board on tax anticipation
warrants, limiting the use Of the loans
exclusively to pay rolls.
No money from this fund Is to Pc

ers expecting cash from either schools
or city, the paper states, and the cash
Is to be deposited In Chicago banks and
handed over to the city only as the
pay rolls are due.
The city. controller, the Tribune says,
is arranging a. schedule OF dates on
which the warrants will become due.
This is the first time the city has been
compelled to aiiix dates to its warrants.
City officials are quoted as having
agreed not to sell any more tax anticipa-
ton warrants for the city or school
board before October /, without giving
the recent purchases 1O-day option
on the offering.

says, "the bankers took the 10000, ,000

WISCONSIN VOTES
AGAINST DRY ACT
Enforcement Act and Home
Brew Penalty Opposed
by Electorate.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,, April 3.-Anti-prohi-
bitionists scored victory in the ref
erendum election yesterday when an
overwhelming sentiment in favor of re-
pealing the Severson State prohibition
enforcement act was registered.
Returns from 1884 of the States
2,759 precincts. representing every Sec
ton Of the State, showed al ,375 in
favor Of repeating the enforcement act
and ll0,256 opposed to repeal. On the
ether question Of removing the home
brew penalty the vote In 1908 precints
was: Yes. 15s,250; No, s6,7l0.
AS returns continued to add to the
majority In favor of eliminating the
prohibition enforcement act from the
statute books through legislative action,
vets claimed that the margin of victory
would exceed 125,000.
Wait on Legislature.
This claim was made by State Sen
ator Thomas M. Duncan, Socialist, au-
thor of the referendum, the result Of
which he maintained would be regarded
as mandate to the Legislature, at its
present session, to carry out the express
sion of the voters.
Yesterdays vote will have no effect
upon the State enforcement laws until
the Legislature acts; and the vote is
not binding upon the lawmakers. The
purpose of the referendum was to OBJ
tain by yes" and no" vote the senti-
ment Of voters. There appeared no
doubt, however. but that the Legisla-
ture would shape its action by the re-
suit of the voting.
Returns compiled by the Associated
Press indicated the majority in favor of
repeal would be considerably less than
was recorded In 1926, when the refer
endum memorialiZing Congress to mod
ify the Volstead act to permit the man
ufacture and sale of 2.75 beer carried
by margin of 172,O00.
Most counties ran true to form, but
five which favored modification two
years ago switched to oppose repeal Of
the State enforcement act. These were
bayfield,, Eau Claire, Juneau, Monroe
and Trempealeau.
Milwaukee County vindicated the
claim Of the vets that It was their
stronghold by favoring repeal by q 5-1
vote, which far offset the majority in
support of the prohibition law rolled UP
in dry rural territory The margin was
so large for repeal In Milwaukee and
other large cities of the State that the
later returns expected from dry terri
tory were not expected to cut into the
wet majority appreciably.
The wet majority used their "yes"
votes to assure large majority for both
questions on prohibition-repeal of the
State prohibition enforcement act and
removal of penalties In the act against
manufacture, sale and possession Of 2.75
beer.
Repeal Is Issue.
The vote in favor of removing the
penalties against making home brew"
was almost as large as for repeal of the
entire law. In the intensive campaign
that preceded the election, both sides
in the controversy concentrated on the
question of repeal

DIPLOMATIC CORPS

Hoover Not to Make Sweeping
Changes, Contrary to
Reports.

Contrary to reports, President Hoover
Isl not going to make any sweeping
changes in the personnel Of the foreign
service of the United States. 1t is
doubtful If he makes more than one or
two changes in the major diplomatic
posts.
This was learned definitely at the
White House today.
The impression also was given that
the President not yet has given great
deal of thought to the diplomatic ap-
pointments. 1t Is likely that he will
wait for another week or two before
doing 50. It was his intention to post
pone consideration Of the appointments
until Henry L. Stimson assumed the
duties of Secretary Of state, but since
the iatter's arrival in washington .
week ago, the President has found other
matters more pressing and has not had
an opportunity to confer with him.
At present It. Is thought that the
only important changes In continental
Europe vii be at the Court Of st. James.

ton, In conformity with custom on q
change Of administration, has rendered
his resignation, and the ambassado dorship
to Paris, made vacant by the death OF

dors to England and France, the Presi-
dent will be called upon to appoint q
