"Atnca Speaks Film Record
OF Dark Continent at Globe

Thrilling and rare entertainment
occupies the screen of the Globe
Theatre the week beginning today,
where "Africa Speaks" an African
adventure film, sound effects and
all, is playing. This film, released
by Columbia lectures, depicts the
absorbing adventures of Paul l..
Hoefler, Colorado explorer, on :
trip through the hitherto uneXploret
regions of tt, dark continent. Fror
scenic standpoint it is magnif
cent, while the intimate glimpses {
native life are fascinating from
news value.
Apparently Hoefler and his cour
ageous band managed to penetrat
into the deepest jungles of the BIZ
continent. Practically every type
of native is shown-from the giant
Wasara of the French Congo to
the pigmies of the Ituri forest, who
seldom reach a height of 81 inches.
Religious rites and tribal dances of
these natives are among the fea-
lures of the production. Many Of
their customs, heretofore a mys-
terry, are revealed.
Picture shots of lions, elephants
and other Jungle beasts are taken
at amazingly close range-the
thrills these afford are enhanced by
sound effects. The results are alb
solutely astounding. Particularly
effective are photographs of Nasal
spearmen in hand-to-hand combat
with huge lions.

The idyllic relationship eXistant

MULROONEY, FAR
AWAY, ADMITS TO
COP BRUTALITY

CATSKILL, N. Y, Sept. 1S-New
York Police Commissioner Null
rooney thought it best to come to
this out of the way town to ad-
nit what every New York worker
knows from bitter and often bloody
experience. Addressing the "Police
Benevolent Association" Mulrooney
stated yesterday:
thine and time again citizens
complain of abuse by members of
the police department. Complaints
of misconduct have been on the in
crease since the first of the year.
This should not be. Some day, if
we are not careful, when you go be-
fore the people again we may not
get their support"
This same Mulrooney, however,
whitewashed and excused the DELHI
crate police ambush and beating
half to death of some 60 workers
on their way home from a demon
stration in Union Square on Au-
gust 1 against imperialist war. He
has never raised his voice to criti-
cize the murder of works. in New
York on the picket line nor the
terror of club and blackjack that
RACES against them. Evidently the
Tammany cops, having taste of
blood, have got out of hand a little
and have been talking rough to
some of the parasites, perhaps ar
resting men with money once in a
while. This is what has to be
stopped.

ing. But here is where the CAPT
talisti parson comes to the rescue
OF the damsel in distress.
One of the school teachers bright
young friends suggested that per-
haps the Very Reverend Thomas
might be able to help her. They
discovered that he could, indeed.
He sent them to a friend of his,
republican judge in Brooklyn. When
the judge was told that Nonesuch
Norman himself had requested that
the girl be admitted because she
wasn't the least bit dangerous, the
Judge, declared, "Of course, of
course, there isn't anything in the
world l wouldn't do for Rev. Thorn
as. He is one of the best friends
l have"
And like all classical comedies,
this has happy ending. The
judge got in touch with the Depart
ment of Labor in Washington and
the girl was promptly admitted. At
the same time the Department of
Labor issued an explanatory state
ment. "The immigration officials
were perfectly right in refusing to
admit Miss Hewitt, but we are re-
versing the decision because of spe-
cial considerations" the report de-
clared. Well, well, we suppose we
will always keep on being fooled.
Here we were believing that it was
quite the normal thing for Rev.
Thomas to work hand in glove with
the government, and now the De-
partment of Labor comes and tells
US that it is willing to help Parson
Thomas, but only because of "spe-
cial considerations"

DISCIPLES TO TAKE
STRONG DRY STAND
Action on Committee Report
Expected TomorroW-MiS-
SionS Emphasized.

While missionary extension was the
dominant note sounded in addresses at
the international convention of the
Disciples of Christ today, the Commit
tee on recommendations had before it
as one of numerous vital problems re-
port of the brotherhoods board of
Temperance and Social Welfare as
sailing the intensified wet campaign of
the past year.
Coupled with q conclusion that pro-
hibition must stand the test of fire
for five years more, the report found
that the wet campaign was launched
to make more difficult enactment of
recommendations of the Wickersham
Commission as well as to increase the
wet strength In Congress"
Strategy Of VETS.
The STACEY Of the opponents Of pro-
hibition, the report said, seems to con-
sist of three elements, namely, to Gre
ate the conviction in the public mind
that prohibition is a failure, and that
conditions are worse than under the
saloon system; to secure the repeal OF
the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act and to substitute therefor
State control of liquor under Federal
constitutional restrictions"
This report along with other prob
lens dealing with the outstanding is
sues before the brotherhood sessions
probably will be submitted to the con-
vention for its approval tomorrow af-
ternoon.
While it was expected a discussion
of prohibition would bring out perhaps
some dissenting views on the success or
predicted that the report of the tenn
perance body would be accepted in en-
tirety. The discussion in the commit
tee of recommendations on the prohi-
bition issue will consume most of the
body's time tomorrow morning.

S5,O(l,ODO DAMAGES
ASKED BY CANNON
Bishop Charges SANDER in
Suit Filed Here Against
Hearst.

William Randolph Hearst, newspaper
publisher, was named as defendant in
a suit filed today in the District of
Columbia Supreme Court for $4,000
damages for alleged SANDER by James
Cannon. jr., bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South.
Cannon charges that false and
libelous statements appeared in the New
York Evening Journal, July %, 1880,
and on subsequent dates in other Hearst
newspapers in different parts of the
country, which contained differences
that the bishop had been guilty Of
improper unseemly and immoral con-
duct, in that he was at the apartment
of Mrs. McCallum (Adrs. H. H. Mccall
lun, whom he has recently married. on
the night before the death Of his first
wife, about two years ago.
The bishop declares that he was not
at the apartment of Mrs. McCallum and
the false statement made it appear q
reflection on the woman who is now his
wife.
Charged False Statement.
In the Evening Journal of Septem-
Der 81, 1880, the plaintiff says there
appeared false and malicious statements
concerning the employment by Cannon
of G. Bascom Slemp, an attorney, and
former secretary to President Coolidge,
in which it was inferred that one Gold
hurst (not otherwise identtfieD had
been charged with crime and that Cam
non had secured the services of the
lawyer for the purpose of preventing
the prosecution and conviction of Gold
hurst, all of which the bishop says was
untrue.
Bishop Cannon also says that he be-
lieves that Hearst stated to one or more
of his editors that in December of last
year they had lost a great opportunity
to link the bishop conclusively with the
affairs of his son in California, and that
had the matter been handled properly
then, it would have been of great value
to Hearst in discrediting Bishop Cannon
with the general public, and that next
