MOTIVE UNCERTAIN
IN K|DNAP CHARGE
Colored Prisoner Says He
Only Took 3-Year-0Id
Girl Riding.

Little Virginia May Herbert. 3 years
old, has had delightful time during
the last 20 hours, even If her mother
and father were frightfully worried for
time and police of Alexandria and
Washington were thrown into case
which still remains somewhat OF mys-
terry.
Last night the little girl had nice
ride, and then a big kind Washington
policeman took her to a station house
with shiny brass rails and fed her lolly-
pops. This morning she was taken to
see other policemen in Alexandria, fed
more candy and played about the local
station house while police were trying
to fathom weird case of kidnapping.
Local police are still at sea as to the
motive in the case, II there was a mo-
tive. Robert Reds" Gladdens, SO, the
Washington colored man who is charged
with kidnapping the child in warrant
sworn out by the child's mother, Mrs.
Ethel May Herbert, contends that he
was merely taking the little girl for an
auto ride. The thing that local police
cannot understand, however is why
he took her all the way to Washington
in doing so.
Seeks ROOmer.
Shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon, according to the account given
Alexandria police, Charles Hayes of 124
C street northeast, went to Alexandria

Hayes said that he came to 116 North
Fayette street here, where the little girl
lives with her parents. Mr. and Mrs.
Linwood Herbert, to see Walter Holden,
who boards there. He said that Holden
had promised to take room with him
and he wanted to see him about it.
Finding Holden out, Hayes left the
colored man In the auto. and soon a
number of children in the neighbor-
hood got in the car and the colored
man took them for ride about Alex
andria. Returning, and finding Hayes
still waiting and Holden not yet re-
turned, Gladdens said 1t was suggested
that he take little Virginia May Herbert
for a ride. since she had missed out
on the other tour.
The little girl got into the car and the
colored man drove off with her. Soon
the girls parents returned. and when
the little girl did not return they be-
came alarmed and notified local police.
The license number of the auto was
furnished police by Hayes, and WASH
ington police were notified.
Arrested in Washington.
A few minutes later Sergt. Lawrence
Padgett of Alexandria, who was han
ding the case, was notified that Po-
liceman Frank McGrath OF the fourth
precinct in Washington had arrested
the driver and that the little girl was
safe a: the precinct station house.

NAUGHTY BABY" AT
 PALACE TOMORROW

Spun glass for dress material isn't likely to prove generally popu- lar, but is great in the movies.
 The most striking spun glass cre- ation used to date is Alice Whites evening gown in Naughty Baby, First National comedy drama. in which the dynamic little star is CO., featured with Jack Mulhall. The picture is coming Friday to the Palace Theatre.
 In addition to it's being flexible, the dress is covered with glass scales, some of them backed with like tiny mirrors. It is proof against the bad mans eye, however. It isn't transparent, even in the strongest light. It is a bit and is ideal for film purposes because it reflects a higher ratio of light than any other fine spun, irregular surface without causing halation.
 Equally stunning gowns arc worn in this picture by Thelma Todd, Doris Dawson, Frances Hamilton, Natalie Joyce and a half-dozen other beauties. 8

BOSTON, March 6.-Three hun dred years of American life will pass in review during 193O as the old Bay State observes the Massa- chusetts Bay tercentenary.
 From spring until the onset of winter, from the surf-swept rocks of the Atlantic coast to the rolling Berkshire hills, there will be pag- eants, parades, religious services, conventions, expositions, pilgrim ages, fairs, music festivals, open house at historic shrines and ex- hibitions of historical treasures in commemoration of the anniversary.
 First among the three leading events to be commemorated is the three hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the Massa- chusetts Bay colony in New England by the Puritans and the setting up of independent civil government in America.
 Celebration of the coming of free government, the germ of later American independence, is to be the keynote of the observance.
 The arrival of Gov. John Win throp at Salem, June 12, 1630, with the charter signalized the trans fer of independent government to America for the first time in the history of large colony on this continent.
 The charter still is preserved in the statehouse.
 The scene of Winthrop's coming is to be re-enacted at Salem, and the event has been officially pro- claimed by Frank G. Allen, present governor and the fifty-first since the revolution.
 The second event to be commem- orated is the three hundredth an niversary of the general court-the Massachusetts legislature-w h c h ranks as one of the worlds oldest legislative bodies.
 The third is group of annivcr- saries-the founding of Bost n, Charlestown, Medford, Watertown, Roxbury, Newton, Dorchester, Cam bridge and Brookline.
 The leaders of the tercentenary from the first have planned upon a celebration that would be different from a worlds fair, with it's arti- ficially created central exposition.
 Instead, the entire state and sec tion become the fair grounds and the genuine treasures Of the state. historic, scenic and modern, be- come the exhibits.
 Old-time manners and customs will be definitely in evidence, how ever. New Englanders, qaintly dressed in the garb of three cen turies ago, will mingle on the streets with modern throngs. Historic shrines, seldom accessible, may be visited. The ducking stool, stocks and pillory will be characterization exhibition purposes.

Making the Best of It

Sonny Jim" by the way, for all his diminutive size, can boast of having starred on a movie set cost ing more than most of those used for the greatest stars. It came about this way:
 Before it was decided to star Paul Whiteman in the King of Jazz" revue, a talkie with plot was planned for him. This called for an elaborate cabaret set, which was constructed forthwith. Then arose the disagreement between Paul and the studio over the type of story Paul should have, and, when the revue was chosen, the big cabaret went into the discard.
 Before it was torn down, how ever, one corner of it served as a setting for a Sonny Jim" comedy comforting salvage! ad
