"fun," marched them back to the
city and turned them over to- the
chief of police. The chief of police
refused to hold any of the mob but
wanted the Negroes to turn over to
him the Negro who was to have been
lynched. This request was refused
and the chief was warned that the
next time this mob attempted any
thing like that they would not be
taken to Jail, but would be killed
on the spot. The news of this cpl
sode spread all over the state and
this organization has now from 800
to 1000 members.
Pershing Speaks to Negro
Workers.
This defense organization shows
not only interest in Negro workers
but class conscious white workers
as well. George Pershing, well
known organizer of the anti-imperi.
alist league passed through that city
on his recent tour. While there he
spoke at street meeting to Negro
workers out in the "black belt" A
Negro policeman attempted to in
terfere with him and arrest him.
This policeman told him to take that
"stuff" he was talking out of that
vicinity and go away to the whites
where he belonged. Several Negroes
in the crowd who were members of
the defense organization got around
the policeman and prevented him
from breaking up the meeting. One
of them told the policeman that if
they wanted to listen to the speaker
it was nobody's damn business and
that he would not "get well" if he
attempted to butt in. After Perish
ing finished speaking the leader in
vited him to speak before their or
ganization. They told him they
were very much interested in what
he had to say.
Not Interested In Religious

Lodge, will be seen in the Fox
Movietone Follies of 1926" playing

Monday nights. The production is an
all singing, talking, dancing revue,
with scenes in technicolor, starring
Sue Carol, close friend of Miss
Plunkett's. The friendship began in
movie circles in Hollywood

ed in several scenes, while in others
she is flanked by such large group
of chorus members that it may be diff
ficult to find her. In the Break

Carol, she is the girl second on the

were the requirements of the director
of the revue in selecting the young
ladies of the ensemble for this musi-
cal comedy. Hundreds of girls who
successfully fulfilled all three re-
quirements, however, were unable to
pass the exacting screen tests and the
final selection represents, according
to the director, the most nearly per-
feet, all-around chorus ever chosen
for any production. Miss Plunkett,
like most of the girls, is product
of the studio of Fanchon and Marco,
famous throughout the country for
their tabloid musical comedies. The
average age Of the girls finally sell
ected is a trifle more than sixteen

FORMER LOCAL
BOY SAVES LIFE
OF GAS VICTIM
TRENWITH BASFORD, AGED 13,
TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR
CITATION FOR ACTION

The Minneapolis Tribune of Decem-
Der 16 carried a story of Trenwith
Basford, son of Mrs. C. NJ. Basford. of
Minneapolis, and the late Clarence M.
Basford, dentist, who died in Red
Lodge in 1921. The entire story of
young Basfords successful efforts in
saving the life of a gas victim is cop
led from the Minneapolis daily.
"a 13-year-old Minneapolis boy
scout, who was so bashful he slipped
away unnoticed as soon as his good
turn was accomplished, was credit
ed Sunday, December Is, by General
hospital physicians with having saved
the life of A. II. Warner, Minneapolis,
"When Mr.. Warner was overcome
by carbon monoxide gas in the garage
at his residence Thursday afternoon,
Trenwith Basford, performed artific
ial respiration on the unconscious man
| for 10 minutes until the arrival of
General hospital physicians and the
fire department inhalator squad. In
the ensuing excitement Trenwith dis
appeared
"He was delivering the evening ed
/ ition of the Tribune when he heard
Mrs. Warner calling for help for her
husband and it was not until he re-
appeared on his route the next af
ternoon that Mr. and Mrs. Warner
were able to learn who he was The
doctors told Mrs. Warner that the as
sistance Trenwith gave until addition
al help arrived probably meant the
difference between life and death for
her husband. They said Mr.. Warner
was so overcome by the gas he prob
ably would have been dead before
they arrived had not the lad labored
strenuously to keep him breathing.
"Trenwith had brought Mr.. Warn
er back to consciousness when the
physicians and inhalator squad reach
ed the scene. Trenwith is a tender
foot scout and received his training
in artificial respiration within the
last three months. He joined the boy
scouts last spring.
"Mr. Warner was overcome while
working on the motor of his car in
the garage. He had had three doors
of the garage open and had been in
and out of the building several times
to talk with neighbors and to obtain
tools in the house Mrs. Warner no
ticed, after a lapse of about Is min
Iutes, that smoke was eddying from
the garage and that she did not hear
her husband moving about. Going to
the garage she found her husband
crumpled against one of the doors
which was closed. He was uncon-
scious The motor of the car had
been switched off. Mr.. Warner ap-
parently became unconscious just as
he reached the door and falling
against it, slammed it shut. Mrs.
Warner complimented Trenwith on
his presence of mind and ability in
the emergency oh, Mr.. Warner
saved his own life by switching off
the motor, when he felt himself faint
ing, the boy said Mrs. Warner then
attempted to give him reward. He
refused, saying boy scouts never take
anything for their service.
"Trenwith Basford is member of
scout troop No. 8 of Judson Memorial
church. The scoutmaster of the troop
said that he will recommend to ma
tional boy scout headquarters that
! Trenwith be given an official cita-
iinn for h;c ac+ Mr. and Mrs. Warn
er have urged such citation"

NAPOLEON $ Tin Ear.

THE presence of a caulifiower ear
on a wax figure of Napoleon exc
cuted by Mahonri Young, sculptor, for
use in a motion picture, Seven Faces"
so startled a browsing newspaper re-
porter recently that he sought out the
sculptor, anxious to verify this historical
curiosity.
II was told to give Napoleon cauli-
flower ear by Director Berthold Viertel,"
Young laughed. Questioning the
propriety of such a procedure, I read
everything I could find about the
French Emperor, but found no reference
to a tin ear"
'when reported my findings to
Viertel he was much amused and ex-
planned the matter. 1t seems that in the
real Musee Patrouchy, the waxworks
museum where the story is laid, the
figure Napoleon stands close to the
radiator and that the heat has melted
down one of his ears. giving it cauli-
flower effect. So. history to the con-
trary notwithstanding, gave the Corsi-
can the ear that was ordered for him. :"
Showing that some directors pay at
tention to small detail.

Lone-Distance Recording.

THE recording over 80 miles of wire
of an organ selection played upon
an instrument miles away from the
studio where the recording was actu-
ally made has caused the Colorart Syn

boast on the achievement by company
engineers. The accomplishment by Ed
ward r. Harris, sound chief for the
Colorart Corporation, is claimed to be
the first successful attempt to synchro-
nize a talkie by remote control.
The picture for which the recording
was made is a short subject, The
Sacred Hour for Tiffany-Stahl release.
In a sequence of the picture. music
from an organ presumably in the great
Cathedral of Venice. is required. Ar
rangements were made with the dis
tant organist and his playing was trans
mitted over 80 miles of wire to the
studio microphone.
