Many Events Took Place To-day to Disturb the Market
DOUBLE BURGLARY
 DISCOVERED TODAY
Man Finds Home, Tavern Entered Keys, Money
 Disappear

Using one burglarly as means to second. burglars early this morning entered the home of Vim cent Krisniskis, IS Summit street. and then footed Bank street tav- ern of which he is co-owner. Keys stolen from Krisniskis' home were used by the thieves in entering the tavern.
 Entering Krisniskis' second floor bedroom at the Summit street home, the burglar or burglars stole from the end of the bed a pair of pants containing the keys and pocketbook which contained $11. Then entering the tavern, the criminals footed the place of cigars and cigarettes valued at from $l0 to $20. The tavern is owned joint ly by Krisniskis and Michael Les auskas of James street.
 No one in the Krisniskis home was awakened by any disturbance, though the thieves must .have made noise in raising the ladder and placing it against the house. The bedroom window was forced from the outside.
 Lieut.. Matthew Balanda, Who investigated the dauble break this m morning, found that Krisniskis had left the tavern at about 12:30 this morning. had gone to his home, just a few minutes walk distant, and was in bed by 1 o'clock.
 The thieves, after breaking into the tavern, left behind them the keys, but no clues to their identi- ty. The ladder burglary is the first one of its kind here in some time.

 Replying to Major O. R. Att lee, laborite, who said the United States arms investigation had re- veSled "a lot of extremely dirty werk," Sir John emphasized the need for private arms manufac- turers in wartime.

 ss'No ships of war are built in private dockyards. All military airplanes are exclusively govern ment products.
 "The government is convinced that the practical way is not abo- lition of private manufacture but regulation and control which oug ht to be in accord with an interna- tional treaty negotiated at Geneva.
 "We have the most complete and stringent system of control- ling export of arms of any coun- try in the world"

Has Little Chance

Ottawa, Ont, Nov 8-(UP)-- James Cassidy Dunn, one of the seven survivors of the famous Princess Pats Canadian light ir- fantry, stands little chance of col lecting even an extra penny of be"'1 pension from the Canadian government.
 An official of the department oi tensions, informed of the claim Dunn was making on the grounds that he should have received a ser geant majors pension instead oi that of a private, stated that in 1920 pensions law was enacted equalizing the pension of all pri. yates and commissioned of. ficers up to the ranl: of lieutenant

(Continued from Page 1.) rank of privates when the regi- ment became part of the British forces in France.
 Dunn, with 1,664 other officers and men, went over the top at Vimy Ridge in one of the most devastating battles of the war. Machine guns moved down his regiment by the hundreds, many were slain in hand-to-hand fighting or by explosion of huge projectiles which tore up the battlefield on which several thousand men. kill ed in previous battles, had n buried.
 After cleaning out two machine gun nests and killing four gunners responsible for the deaths of hun dreds i'll his regiment, Dunn was felled by explosion of projectile. He spent months in hospital and for a time it was feared he would die.
 One of his coveted souvenirs of the war is a blood stained dagger with which he stabbed a youthful machine-gunner just before he was wounded.
 Dunn now lives in a hermitage at Gilead, in a small place he con- structed himself, half mile from his nearest neighbor. He has en- tered claim with the Canadian government for back compensation, with interest which, if allowed, will net him a comfortable fortune

Seems unbelievable that you make

Rogers has never denied that he
likes personal contact. He likes to
see his audience so he can know
whether or not he is interesting
his hearers. At the studio he'll try
out a "gag" on half dozen persons
during his conversation with them.
If it gets over with them he'll try
it in scene.

says, sis harder than doing 10 per-

Will Rogers Gives Movies q
Look-In, But Prefers Stage

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 13.-WiI
Rogers, whose latest screen en-
deavor, Judge Priest" has just
been released by Fox Film, rarely
grants an interview, but caught
off his guard on his recent return
from a tour of the world, he
made a few interesting observa.
tons.
Rogers, one of the busiest men
in pictures, is also one Of the
busiest men in the world. Dur
ing filming of the Judge Priestp
picture, he managed to portray
the leading role in the stage pro-
duction of "Ah, wilderness, at
the Ell Captain Theater, get out
a daily syndicated newspaper
column, crowd in a few radio
broadcastS and attend innum
cradle banquets wherever Sena-
tor, Representative, statesman or
film executive appeared. During
his leisure hours, he personally
supervised the renovation OF his
Beverly Hills home.
It would seem, then, that he
deserved the respite of a round
the world cruise, although, on the
trip, he constantly gathered ma
terial for future books, articles
and broadcasts. And, arriving
in New York aboard the lie de
France, worn out from his rest,
he was assailed by reporters,
camera men, friends, well wish
ers and the idly curious. Stimuli
taneously several people popped
the old familiar question, DO
you get more satisfaction out of
your screen or stage work." and
taken unawares, Rogers replied:

the hardest work, but it was the
most gratifying. Then you're on
the stage with no one to help you.
