A HOLLOW VICTORY

Investors in the defunct Guaranty
HUI Iding and Loan association won a
court victory this week when Judgment
of over 100000 was declared against
the directors of the concern.
But the victory was as hollow as the
inside of balloon. 1t reads we'll but
means practically nothing.
The concern was looted of over SS,000,-
600 by Gilbert H. Beesemyer, now being
fed three good meals day by the state
up in San Quentin, while many of those
who invested their money in his concern
are wondering where they are to get
their next meal.
OF the six company directors, whom the
law declares are liable, several have gone
through bankruptcy. In all there is about
$4,000 to satisfy the judgment of over
$7,0OO,O0O
Maybe the directors are also wonder
ing where they are to get their next meal,
but this can be doubted. Bankruptcy is
too often used as a means to slide out
from under responsibilities.
The law of the state permitted Beese-
myer and his associates to set themselves
up in business and take other peoples
money 1t was supposed to protect these
people but it did not The law of the
state now takes good care ofs Beesemyer.
and permits the directors to slide out
from under their moral obligations. And
the same law of the state demands that
the people whom Beesemyer robbed must
pay their taxes, send their children to
school and will put them in prison if,
driven by necessity, they steal to main
tain themselves.
The law is theoretically right but is
practically wrong.
Beesemyer actually, and his associates
technically, betrayed the people. So did
the law.

VISITING NURSES
WRIGHT
Election to Board Features
April Meeting-Needs OF
Poor Discussed.

Mrs. John Marvin Wright was elected
| unanimously to the board OF directors
of the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society
/ at the April meeting of the organiza-
| ton yesterday afternoon in the Albee
| Building.
The treasurer's report was read by
! the assistant treasurer, Charles W. PIN
| per-
Mrs. G. Rowland Chase made an
appeal to the board to bring friends to
help in making up surgical dressings to
meet the current need among the destl-
tute patients and also to lay up a supply
for the Summer months during which
time the Committee of Volunteers does
not meet.
Adjustment of Budget.
Action of the Executive Committee
was ratified in adjusting the budget to
meet unexpected decrease in earnings,
because of the unusual demand for serv-
ice from patients unable to pay lor
their care It was stated that although
the Community Chest had allowed ad-
ditional money to meet an estimated
drop on this account already the
demands had made it necessary to plan
for an additional loss Of $4,000 from
patients who would ordinarily be able
to pay.
The report of the unemployment
among the families given care during
the month for the organization as a
whole was 40 per cent of all families
nursed, while in certain sections OF the
city, the percentage ran as righ as 81
per cent.
During the month of March, 1858
visits were made to 5,327 patients. OF
the visits made, 9,916 were free and TIC
visits were made to patients able to pay
only part of the cost.
The board expressed grave concern
over the cut in appropriations made Tor
the local tuberculosis Hospital. The fact
that many tubercular patients who
should be hospitalized would be left i'll
in their homes to infect their families
was considered great hazard to the
public health of the city, particularly
in regard to children, who are most
susceptible to this sort Of contact. It
is a poor form Of economy to reduce
the ultimate cost to the community
both in the loss Of life and in new
cases is infinitely higher than the i'm
mediate saving, Mrs. Whitman Cross,
the presiding officer, said.
Committee Authorized.
The president was authorized to ap-
point committee to work with other
local groups toward an effort to have
the reduction restored to the budget.
Mrs. John w. Davidge presented the
final revisions Of the constitution and
bylaws which were adopted
Those present were Mrs. Cross, Mrs.
Wilder D. Baker, Miss Elizabeth Bryan,
Mrs. Dwight Clark, Mrs. G. Rowland

FAIR MAIL" IS ! GRAINED WITH DRAMA, THRILLS
Story of Unsung Heroes of Air Told in Film at
 Capitol Sunday
"The mail goes through!"

The mall goes JnrOugu!
 And the courage, skill, and in- trepid flying it takes to make this motto of the air mail fleet good provides the thrilling theme of Universal's great aviation classic, Air Mail" which opens Sunday lat the Capitol Theatre.
 There have been aviation pie lures before, but it is said none have presented the story of the Eunsung heroes of the government mail as Air Mall" does. One of the most essentially dramatic phas- les of flying, the air mail provides a substantial, gripping and roman- |tice theme around which has been woven a very human story of de- votion to duty and sacrifice with Characters that live on the screen. The story concerns a group of mail pilots stationed in an isolat- led desert airport whose job is to relay the mail through treacher- ous mountain passes to the coast beyond. With storm raging, those who attempt the passage go to a certain death, leaving only the airport chief and his ace flyer, a cocky unruly soldier of fortune to put through the mail. Here personal conflict enters, and the rebellion of the ace pilot provides one of the most dramatically in tense moments of any recent screen play. Ralph Bellamey as the virile airport chief is perfectly cast and carries off his role with the most finished performance of his career. Pat O'Brien was never more ar rogantly self-confident as the dare devil Duke" and Russell Hop tons interpretation of the morose veteran pilot is a fine piece of character acting. With his usual long face, Slim Sommerville lends his able comedy touch and Gloria Stuart and Lillian Bond provide two interesting and entirely oppo- site types of feminine charm. Will liam Daily Leslie Fenton, Frank Albertson, Tom Carrigan and oth- CTS round out the exceptional cast.
 John Ford has proved himself again to be master of action drama. He and Universal can well be proud of Air Mail"
