Attractions At Theatres
SHIELD OF HONOR"
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

Neil Hamilton, popular film lead- ing man who portrays feature role in Shield of Honor" the Uni versal production which is to be screened at the Palace Theatre to- night, is just as clever and. is as much at home doing tricks of magic on the stage as he is acting before the camera.
 Since his childhood school days in Lynn, Massachusetts, Hamilton has been an ardent follower of the mystic art of magic. During his school days he was the "kid of the hour" with his many interesting objects used to promote the magi- clans handiwork.
 It was not until after making his screen debut that he took up the study of magic seriously. His many idle hours in his dressing room were soon put to use with his legerdemain activities and he was the source of entertainment to the entire staff on the sets on which he worked.
 Other players seen with Hamilton in the cast of Arms of the Law" are Ralph Lewis, Dorothy Gulliver, Thelma Todd, Nigel Barrie, Joe Gi- rard, Claire McDowell and William Blakeweil. Emory Johnson di- rected the picture.

SPAIN BUILDS ARMY AlRSHIP
 FOR TRAINING
Nation Finally Decides to Keep P a ce with
 Other Countries
By ROBERT M. BERRY Associated Press Correspondent

GUADALAJARA, Spain, April 4-Spain, hitherto somewhat in- different to the development of dirigibles, has decided to keep pace with other nations in this respect and is constructing a big airship in the military aeronautic works near here.
 The only military airship ever owned by Spain was the Espana, of the Astra type, which made its last flights in the beginning of 1913. AS the result of the experiences of the great war, airships were aban- doned for army purposes and their use was confined to naval scouting in most European nations. Those which retained them in the army did so generally with the idea of acting for the benefit of commer- cial flying, especially when trans oceanic attempts brought disaster to so many heavier -than-air ma- chimes.
 Plans Drafted
 About three years ago Spain sent to the United States a well known military aeronaut and engineer, En- rique Maldonado de Nicer. When he returned to Spain he drafted the plans for non-rigid airship with capacity of 5000 cubic met res, the intention being to use it for instructional purposes in the Spanish army.
 The construction of this airship was started with the greatest se- crecy. It was the intention of the authorities to make the first flight ever Madrid on the recent visit of the Danish monarchs; but owing to their early departure in conse- quence of the death of the Queen Mother Maria Christina, the plan was abandoned.
 Details of Ship
 The details of the airship reveal that the envelope is composed of strips of rubberized linen of Ger man manufacture, the edges being overlapped and sewn together. Its practical capacity is 3,3O0 cubic metres. Its maximum diameter is 36.08 feet and it's total length 177.6 feet.
 The motors are two Wrigh t whirlwinds with air coolers, and each has nine cylinders and de- velops 22O horsepower. They are placed on each side of the cabin, which is of elongated shape. Six persons in all can be carried, while there is space for two gasoline and oil tanks, abundant water sup ply, spare parts, baggage, gear and anchor.
 Maldonado has designed a lat ticed metal mooring mast B feet high constructed on a reinforced cement base and furnished at the top with a special arrangement al- lowing the airship to veer according to the wind. Four cables anchored on the ground would hold the diri- gible on a horizontal level.

F ALL PLEADING.
BAR TO TRIAL

Preliminary skirmishes in the long
delayed bribery trial of Albert e.
Fall, former Secretary of the
Interior, began this morning before
Justice William Hitz in Criminal
Court with i. arguments on the
Governments demurrer to Falls
plea in bar of trial. ...
The actual trial will commence
Monday if the plea being argued
today is overruled.
Frank J. Hogan, chief counsel
for Fall, based his plea in bar
on a. former jeopardy. He contends
that Falls conspiracy trial with
e. q. Doheny which resulted in
an acquittal for both was based on
the same 500, 900 transaction which
constitutes the element Of the
bribery offense alleged in the pres
ent Indictment.
Former Senator Atlee Pomerene
opened the argument on the Gov
ernment's demurrer.
Leaning heavily on a cane, Fall
arose when his name was called.
and when asked whether he pleaded
guilty or not guilty handed the
clerk Of the court the printed COPY
OF his plea in bar.
