The Bridge of Signs, dark corri-
dor Of drama that long has been a
New York land mark, is used as one
Of the settings for William Pow
ellis newest starring release, For
the Defense" which comes to the
Capitol theatre Friday.
The Bridge Of Signs is a covered
span of stone that connects TombS
prison with the New York Criminal
Courts building. Across it prisoners
are led from their cells 10 the court

thoughts and feelings as they were
led TO trial or brought back again

sentences. Some Of the most no.

Some horns were so loud that they

musical interpretations make Lenore
Ulric's new starring Fox Movietone
all talking feature, South Sea
Rose" one Of the most satisfying en-
t-ertainments ever offered at the
Queen theatre. III fact. we believe
1t to be one Of the best talking films
ever brought to any screen.
Inc piquart star Of countless Be-
lasco stage successes deliniates a vi
vacious French girl living in a con-
vent situated on an island in the
South Seas. She is the spirit Of the
natives, exercising her madcap mis-
chief in her frenzy to free herself.
The irresistible charmer Of every
white man who visits the island be-
comes an innocent victim OF a plot

never shying at adventure, the tenn
pestuous maid from the tropics gives

munity a lifetime of worry, but also
keeps thf& interested.
Miss Uric never had a role more
suited to her brilliant talents. Her

DEATH CLAIMS
LUMBER KING
Unique Character Passes
Beyond From Plain
Little Home

MANISTEE, Mich, Aug. 22-OPl-
Death came last night to Charles
r. Ruggles. the last Of the Michi-
gan lumber barons. and found nm
in a plain little room where ne had
lived for years, preparing his own
meals. scrubbing the floors anu
spending hours over kettles in which
he made candy for distribution TO
children at Christmas time.
RuggleS. at 81, died a multi-mil-
lionaire, but there was little dlfter-
ence in his mode Of living during MS
last DAYS from that Of his youth
when he saw and seized the oppor-
tunities in northern Michigan's vir-
Gin forests. When his contempt
raries in the industry went TO the
cities years ago and built fine
homes, he remained behind. living
as he always had lived. rearing
moccasins and a lumberjack shirt,
with no necktie beneath his long
white beard.
When numbering passed out IN
Michigan, he turned TO salt manu-
featuring and until last Saturday
when he was stricken Ill. was ac-
tive every work day. He bought
into the lumber industry in other
states-Ninnesota, the Carolinas.
Florida. California and much Of the
huge estate he left behind IS rep
resented in these holdings.
RuggleS was born in Bangor, Me-,
on March 3, 1876. His parents took
him to Oshkosh. Wis. where he
worked in a match factory as a
youth. The family moved to Manis-
tee because the youth was suffer-
ing from PHOSPHORUS poisoning
from matches. and a physician rec
commended outdoor life. This led
him TO become interested in lumber,
and led to his amasSing a fortune.
He never married, but the place
Of wife and children appeared TO
have been filled for him by friend
ships. He financed Edward Buckley,
his brother-in-law, in lumber mill
deals years ago, and later took as
his clerk and protege John +. Rade-
maker, who was associated with

tween the two men which canp to
light in a suit for $1,000. 900 against
the old man filed by Rademaker.
The case was settled after the story
Of the long relationship had been
told in court. Property rights in

rated in a dissolution Of partner

Tor early morning deliveries.
Radio s-@Panies were told that
thousands now refuse TO buy sets
because they believe speakers can
not be tuned lower than those
which blare out from shop door

were silenced. and window posters
invited the public TO come into the
stores for a quiet addition. Motor
horn manufacturers. convinced by
the commissions tests. have ap-
pointed five leading companies to
draw up specifications governing
warning signal acoustics. just as
headlight design is o controlled.
Would Simplify Law
The commission is proud Of its
proposal for legal enforcement OF
the nuisance laws regarding noise.
and believes its amendment Will be
adopted.
In the first place. said Brown.
I'VE didn't want too many laws.
Heavy penalties for minor infrac-
tons make laws look ridiculous.
Everyone knows, for instance, that
no judge on earth would. as the
statutes permit him to do. SEN
tence a man 10 a year IN Jail and
q $500 fine for splitting on the side
walk.
so we went 10 the other ex-
IRENE and evolved q scheme or
annoying the annoyers. We pro-
pose fixed fines for all ordinances,
the amounts ranging from SO cents
to S.. Policemen would have the
power TO issue tickets TO offenders
wherever they are found. and the
offender could. II he chose. sign a
confession Of guilt and pay the fire
BY mail.
That would keep our court
from being clogged with thousands
Of petty cases and allow officers to
remain on duty nest Of the time,
"A thousand policemen q day now
are obliged to be removed from
duty to appear in court as COM
planning witnesses.
Would Accept Fines
"The offender, Of course, could
refuse the fine ticket, accept Q
summons, waste a day Of his time
in court and stand the chance OF
receiving a heavier fine. But few
would do H."
Thus the noisy garbage man, the
driver of a truck with shriekne
brakes and the young idiot who sits
in front Of his girl friends house
and honks his horn impatiently
would be fined on the spot. Wher
one night-owls Stein Song becams
his neighbcr's torture. q policeman
would present him with a bill FOL

But IL any city will carefully
examine its nuisance laws" Brown
declared. II believe il will find IL

The law has protected every par
OF the human body except the car
and It's time that 1t receive some

moving rapidly 70 combat the blus-
tering enemy Of health and eff

Noise is an evil which never has
been suffered in silence. but the
suffering daily is becoming less
acute. Blaring loud-speakers in
shops and homes already are being
tuned down. Fewer automobile horns
are footing. and manufacturers are
preparing to offer warning signals
Of a more pleasant and subdued
sound. Motor cut-outs are being
stilled. whistles and bells made less
blatant. There is less rafting OF
ash and garbage cans, and milkmen
soon may be working with the
stealth Of early-morning burglars.
photographed turnstiles shortly
will bring comparative quiet to sub
way stations now filled with fiend-
ish clatter.
Other Cities Interested
CITY officials throughout the
world have been watching u work
with intense interest" said Edward
F. Brown, special deputy commits
sioner of health, and director OF the
noice commission. Noise is an IN
creasing nuisance in almost every
city. and in a short time we shall

months. Questionnaires submitted
TO the public showed which sharp,
disturbing dissonances wear most on
the nerves Of city dwlelers-frcm
trucks, horns. radios, squeaking
brakes and street cars down to noisy
parties and dogs and cats.
A committee Of doctors and spe-
cialiStS found that noise Is produc-
ing permanent deafness among city
jewellers, that it interferes seriously
with the efficiency Of workers, and
that the strain leads to neuraS-
thenic and psychastenic states.
Noise heightens the pulse rate, in
creases blood pressure, makes the
heart rhythm irregular and, most
important of all, increases brain
pressure.
