Roosevelt Is
 Drawing Crowds
(Continued from Page 1.)

Roosevelt left Montana to the cheers of several thousand Mis- soula democrats who waited in the rain to get a glimpse of him and to hear him deliver a brief ad- dress.
 Earlier, Roosevelt spoke to an audience of 10000 at Butte, Mont, pledging that if elected he would call a conference with the idea of bolstering the price of silver and other mine products.
 The seattle program for the governor called for him to go di- rectly to his hotel, meeting there with United States Senator Clar- ence c. Dill, George Starr, demo- cratic state chairman, and other party leaders. He planned to dis cuss concerted offensive this fall in the normally republican state of Washington.
 In the afternoon, Roosevelt and his party were to visit the state fair and Tacoma where he was to confer briefly with the demacratic chieftain in that city.
 At night the governor will dine with Senator Dill and other demo- cratic leaders, going from the dinner to the Seattle auditorium for a brief address. He will re- turn to the train, leaving at .9:30 p. m. (PST) for Portland, Ore.

Efforts to have Congressman Augustine Lonergan of Hartford visit Waterbury within the next couple of weeks will be made inn mediately, Democratic Town Chair man John H. Crary stated at noon, to-day. Plans are now underway for rally of the local democratic party at which"it is hoped to have Congressman Lonergan be the prin cipal speaker. The latter Is now member of Congress but is also the party's candidate for United States senator as result of his nomination for this post at the state conven- ton in New London.
 Congressman Lonergan IS well Known and highly respected in Wa terbury. Therefore, Town Chair man Crary said this morning, he feels that he will be of much aid in setting forth throughout the city the aims of the democratic party in the current election.

article concerning the charity ball.
 Stewart was under cross exam ination by Charles J. Margiotti, of defense counsel. The government had sought to establish yesterday that Davis dominated every phase of Moose activity, was aware of the alleged lotteries conducted in Its name, and had profited personally from them to tho extent of $173.- 900.
 Stewart said he did not submit all of his magazine material TOT Davis approval and that when he did, it was not because he was com pelled to do so. He and members of his staff wrote editorials and signed Davis name to them with out his knowledge or content.
 "Whv?" he was asked.
 "Mr Davis is a busy man and MT Davis is and always has been to any Moose an inspiration because he was largely responsible for its we'd wide recognition"
 Davis, who had been making notes at counsel table. looked up and beamed. He was neatly dress ed and at ease. Occasionally he tossed his head to throw his shock of silver gray hair back from his forehead.
 Stewart was a calm witness, des- bite the efforts of Assistant United States District Attorney Louis M. Treadwell to distract from his tes- timony on re-exAmination.
 The cross examination appeared to bore Senator Davis. He turned in his chair and looked over the crowded courtroom. A member of his junior counsel tipped his chair and closed his eyes for catnap. But when Treadwell stepped for ward for re-examination, interest revived.
 stewart refused to admit that Davis was a member of the maga- zines executive committee.
 If I show you minutes of the committee, would you then say he was not a member?" Treadwell asked.
 A. I would say he was an ex- officio member.
 o. Is he >o your Knowledge a member of the committee?
 A. To the best of my know ledge, no.
 0. Is that reply as truthful as some of the others you've given this morning?
 Margiotti was instantly on his feet.
 "Hey-wait a minute. You can't ask anything like that! No, sir!"
 Judge Frank J. Coleman sus- tained the objection.
 Treadwell showed Stewart letters and asked him if they were from Senator Davis. The witness answer ed affirmatively. The letters were placed in evidence.

South River, N. J., Sept 20 (UP)-Thirty-two special police- men were ordered arrested to-day when Prosecutor Douglas M. Hicks opened an investigation to fix re- sponsibility for a strike riot Ill which Walter Rozek, II years old, was killed by stray bullet.
 The order was under special statute which permits a prosecutor to hold suspects for investigation. Two were charged with carrying concealed weapons.
 They were guarding the R. and P. Wash Suit company where em- ployes have been on strike for sev- eral weeks. Sheriff Bernard Gan- non denied they were reputy sher- ifs.
 "They were sworn in by Mayor Armstrong, not as deputies, but as special policemen" he said. My understanding is that the special policemen were instructed not to carry revolvers, but to arm them selves with clubs only"

INDEPENDENT GOSSIP

New Haven, Conn, Sept 2O.- (UP)-As the independent republi- can campaign to elect dry candi- dates to office got under way, the press pointed out the most likely result of the movement will be de- feat of wet regular republican nominees and election of equally wet democrats.
 The democratic New Haven Journal-Courier said the independ- ents might defeat Senator Hiram Bingham, chief object of their at- tack, but in so doing they probably would insure election of Augustine Lonergan, the democratic candi- date for United States senator.
 The Bridgeport Telegram, inde- pendent, observed: "The real pur- pose of the movement is not so much to punish the republicans for being pro-Roraback but to punish Roraback for being wet.
 The Hartford Courant, leading republican organ of the state, warned the independents might not like Senator Bingham's attitude but they would like the democratic candidates attitude no better If he were elected.

Barthelmess Versatile.

EVER since Richard Barthelmess first
- flashed into the public conscious
ness on the silver screen he has
consistently avoided the obvious and
stereotyped. Just when fans think
they have him catalogued as a type of
character. he can be depended upon
to burst out in something entirely un-
expected.
Undoubtedly one of the most radical
departures from accepted movie for
mula was Broken Blossoms" the
granddaddy of art for arts sake in
motion pictures. 1t made history. It
made money. 1t made Barthelmess.
Since then nearly every Barthelmess
vehicle has been a try at something
different from the general type of cycle
of plot current at the time of produc-
ton.
Looking back at the AZ pictures he
has made since War Brides" we find
such innovations as Way Down East"
"Tolable David THE Enchanted Cot
tage." Drag" Young Nowheres,"
Dawn Patrol" and The Last Flight"
