Two dandy talking screen hits, Beau Hunks' starring the ire pressible comedy cyclones, Laurel and Hardy and "Rich Mans Folly" with George Bancroft make up the program at Warner Brothers Strand to-day and tomorrow.
 "Beau Hunks Is the funniest feature length comedy Laurel and Hardy have made yet and is packed full of laughs from open- ing to closing scene where they capture the Riff chieftain and arc made heroes of the French For eign Legion.

mad man who has stifled all love and friendly feeling. This calls for the highest dramatic technique and vigor. .-..,t.
 The story is one of big enter prise, shipbuilding. Money, power, ambition are the only things Brock Trumbull' values. Kind ness, a fair chance for others. love, friendship, romance are all set aside, until luck turns against him. Then, at last, he realizes the folly of piling up wealth and losing the love and friendship of those near and dear.
 The supporting cast includes the late Robert Ames and Frances Dee. The double feature picture programs at the Strand will be changed every Monday and Thurs day hereafter with vaudeville pre- sented on Saturday and Sunday only. Admission prices the first five days of each week are matinee 10 and 20 cent; evenings 15 and 25 cents. Vaudeville prices remain as always.

 Johnson has the matter under consideration"
 However, his consent Is regarded as doubtful. He has told close friends that he regards himself es too old to run for the presidency. and as lacking the heavy financial backing necessary. He must de- eide the North Dakota invitation of January 22.
 The only other potential oppo. sition is from exaSehator Joseph G. France of Maryland, and from Governor Clifford Pinchot of Penn sylvania. The former has declared himself a candidate but Is regard ed as having little prospects of ob- taining delegates.

 The 90-year-old justice was in i'll health for a long time last summer while the court was in recess. He suffered for a time with a severe cold in his New England home. But he recovered with a speed which caused com- ment from physicians who consid- cred his age such as to make any illness serious.
 Since his return to Washington for the winter session of the court. 1t had been evident that his health was failing. He was given assistance frequently as he left his nome for the court, but he. was at his work regularly. boring over the cases which were assigned to him and taking an equal share of the work with the younger mem- bers of the court. His .associates on the supreme bench marveled at his tenacity. When he read an opinion they listened attentively and watched him ceaselessly.
 Justice Brandeis has been with him much of the time recently. The two come and go from court together.

But the time has come and I bow to the inevitable. I have nothing but kindness to re- member from you and from my brethren. My last word should be one of grateful thanks.

 "oiiver Wendell Holmes"
 The president, in accepting Jus tice Holmes resignation said:
 T am in receipt of your letter of January 12, rendering your res ignatfon from the supreme court of the United States. I must, of course, accept it.
 "No appreciation I could ex- press would even feebly represent the gratitude of the American peo- pie for your whole life of wonder full public service. from the time you were an officer in the Civil war to this day--near your 91st an- niversary. I know of no American retiring from public service with such a sense of affection and de- votion of the whole people.
 "Yours faithfully. , Herbert Hoover
 Holmes will be 91 next March 8, and is the oldest man ever to sit on the American bench.
 Born in Boston, the son of the famous "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" of the same name, Holmes fought through Civil wars blood fest battle and was thrice wound ed. He was appointed to the Massachusetts supreme judicial court in 1895. In 1899 he was made chief justice of that court and in 1902 President Roosevel, chose him for the federal su- preme court.
 Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes said he had not been ad. vised of the resignation and court attaches before hearing of the for. mai announcement said Holmes absence was just due to an at. tack of 1umbago.
 Only yesterday he was aided to his seat on the bench, his presence being necessary for a quorum.
 He told court attaches ther that he didn't feel like coming to work tomorrow" Holmes had said repeatedly that only incapa- city would force him to leave his work.
 His wife died two years ago. Two other members of the court are ill-Justice Brandeis suffering from a cold and Justice Vandeven. ter suffering from arthritis.

 A week after publication of this report Governor Stevens of Call fornia commuted the Mooney sent ence to life Imprisonment. There had already hegun 6 series of ef- forts to obtain pardons for the two men. These still are under way and Mooney's latest application now is pending.
 But the next major development in the case was in 1921 when JoEn McDonald, described by Wicker sham investigators at "the only witness in the Mooney case besides Oxman who had identified both Mooney and Billings on the corner of Steuart and Market streets" [" signed an affidavit that his testi- mony was false.
 Since. that development, the wickersham experts point out, those who have joined the sam paign to release Mooney include Police Captain Matheson, who had charge of the police investigation of the bombing; District Attorney Brady, who succeeded Fickert and Judge Griffin who tried Mooney.
 The experts report that Fickert did not join this group but wrote directly to Mooney: 2.
