cided to GO through with the local
program, basing the demonstration
on the unemployment situation.
Police had found literature tell
ing of the plan to meet at the Plaza
for speeches from leaders, and IL
then march on the city hall.
When $50 communists assembled
for the demonstration and another
5000 curious spectators gathered
around, so plain clothes policemen
were with them.
Stage Free For All
When Sklar began his address, a
policeman pulled him down.
Communists, defy the police
he shouted.
The crowd milled about, and Il
few women screamed but Frank
Spector, said to be another COM
munist leader, mounted the plat.
form. He was jerked to the ground,
and the fighting started.
The police let go with several
smoke and tear bombs as commun.
lists, fought for their leaders and
spectators fought to get out. Re
serves numbering nearly 200, were
called in and the Plaza soon quie.
None was reported seriously in.

When he reached the place they
had been, he felt around over the
ground for her pocketbook. Failing
to ind it, he got down on his hands
and knees and covered every inch of
sand within a radius OF five feet of

think. He remembered now that
she had brought no pocketbook. She
must have forgotten that. He arose
from the sand, brushed himself off,
and started back toward the boule-

When he was within twenty-five

Something in his tone awakened
the girl to a sense of their danger.

'I know, dear, I know, but"
what does anything matter, Lyla,

He drew her again into savage en-
brace. She pushed hard against
him.
Wait, Rod-please, darling-we've
got to think It's all so beautiful
we mustn't spoil it like this Can't
you see that?"
ELF-REPROACH
Slowly Rods arms relaxed. The
girl sat up and lifted her flushed face
to the cool breeze that swept in off
the lake.
Rod raised himself slowly, and
hid his face in his hands.
"Oh, Lyla, can you ever forgive
me?" he pleaded.
There is nothing to forgive, Rod, "
she said, as she caressed his tousled
hair. "We're young, and we're hui

toward the lake, where close into
the shore the lights of small mo-

bobbed up and down on the choppy

the sand off her dress, and off him

the sidewall. and its bright lights.
AS they reached it Lyla gave a small
cry of dismay.
"Oh. Rod, I've left my pocketbook.
Well have to go back and find it."
"You stay right here" Rod babe,

PARKER SMITH O.,
 TRIAL DATE SET
Plead Not Guilty for Second
 Time in New Haven

New Haven, Oct. 21 P-Three officers of the defunct Parker-Smith company, for whom a new trial was ordered by the supreme court of errors, were arraigned before Judge John Richards Booth in superior court today on charges of con- spiracy. They pleaded not guilty and November 4 was set as the date of their second trial.
 The three defendants, Paul M. Smith, Clarence V. Smith and John E. Parker, were convicted last Oc- tober following the crash of their mortgage investment house of en- bezzlement by agent and trustee in S1 counts and given long prison terms. In an appeal to the supreme court in which they were upheld, the defendants contended that officers and directors of a corporation can not be held criminally liable for the actions of the corporation and that since they had acted as officers for the Parker Smith company they could not be charged with embezzle- ment by trustee and agent.
 In its decision. the supreme court also eXonerated Parker, who was president of the firm, of criminal liability and held that a motion for setting aside the verdict should have been granted in his case by the trial cCUrt

EMBASSY THEATER

King of his little floating kingdom, a Caliban who eXperimented on hu- man souls, a merciless brute who would kill a man as readily as he would light a cigar, a philosopher with a cruel, if effective, theory of life-such is the strange character Milton Stills portrays in the title role of 'The Sea Wolf" unusual Fox Movietone offering that opens at the Embassy theater tomorrow for three days only.
 In filming The Sea Wolf" Direc- tor Santell has adhered closely to London's famous story, which tells of boys regeneration against ter rife odds, under the twin spurs of a womans love and mans contempt.
 The "All-America football team appearing on the screen for the first time in the Warner Bros. and Vita phone production Maybe It's Love-" ends tonight at the Embassy thea ter, has voted the lovely Joan Ben nett their favorite screen actress production. In fact, she enacts a ga little coed who is the sweetheart of the entire football team. Joe F. Brown and Laura Lee contribute additional comedy as a couple of dizzy campus Sweethearts.
