and so did his companions. GIVE
us some water" Toby felt joyous
and stepped forward as HIS
friends moved toward a pump
they had spled over by the sta
ton.
John Carson, who laid claim to
having seen a lynching down in
Texas, saw Toby first. John was
well het up when he heard the
news and had made himself more
so afterward. He had run home,
picked up a rifle, swallowed al
most full pint at one swig, and
told his old woman, I'm gOin' to
get de niggah dat killed Buck"
True, he didn't know Buck.
Where all you all goin,' dahk

an arm and yanked him around.

ing his shirt behind the star and
pulling 1t forward. II arrest you

Investigate for what?" asked
an unemployed delegate. He's

"Ah worked for the Perkinses,"
weakly stated Toby.
Come along. Well cross ques-
ton you and find out who killed
Buck"
Gross question, hell" pro-
nounced a tall man in overalls.
Leave that boy alone. We're
organized unemployed and we
can bring a thousand unemploy-
ed workers and plenty of farmers
down on your insane heads"
Get this swacked up bull ped
dler the hell out of sight or I'll
wrap that gun around his neck"
said the blonde man, taking
neighbor Carson's rifle and
giving him a shove. Clear away"
he said, handing him the rifle and
showing him once more. Two fell
lows stood side by side, backs to
Carson, and slowly walked back
ward. pushing him from the
scene.
Eli, holding Toby, argued with
a group of angry unemployed.
He saw the two men. who had
scuttled Carson away, returning
leaving him about a hundred
feet from the train. John Carson
suddenly appeared drunken than
before and sank to the ground,
passed out. saved his face.
An elderly man stood on top of
a box car, hat in hand. His face
was serious, intelligent. Lines fur

jerked and Toby was boosted
into one. Eli looked at his town.

The white man swung a fist. The
Negro drew back his head, letting
the poorly aimed wallop go by.
He punched out, jolting the yard
bull with seven or eight powerful
blows and finally toppled him.
He dragged the bewildered man
to his feet and holding him, slam
med terrific smash against his
nose, smashing 1t. Leaving the
law moaning on the heated sod,
he stamped out the fire and de-
parted.

protector. received the call.
So 1t was that when the freight
pulled into Cyclone City Eli
was on hand. With him some
nearby farmers and most OF the
male inhabitants OF the town. Not
that Eli expected to catch the
hunted one; indeed, that would
have been impossible as the ap-
preaching train was coming from
direction nearly opposite to
where the atrOcity had been COM
mitted.

Other people seemed to think
the same way about being alert,
and also there's been no lynch
ings in these parts. That idea of
lynching was taking form, the
word was banded around in
sleepy drawls. Maybe it was talk
ed about so much because there
was no one to lynch, l don't know.
Anyhow there wasn't a Negro in
sight, and hardly likely to be one,
at least for the present.
The train stopped in Cyclone
City to shunt a couple of empties
on to another track and to pick
up u few loaded cars. The men
tumbled to the ground to start
a quest for water. Eli and a crowd
of twenty-five or so were whoop-
ing 1t up with the train crew in
front of the engine. "LOokin' for a

immortality and Smut
To Be Discarded; Sequel

BY LEICESTER WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, June 81. (UP)
Sex in motion pictures has re-
ceived a body blow from which it
may not recover.
The blow was delivered by
church heads and members of the
country who have attacked the
immortality" and smut" of the
films for the past three months.
With an eye to the box office,
major producers have decided not
to wait for an official dictum
from Will H. Hayes, president of
the Association of Motion Picture
Producers and Distributors, and
are publicly proclaiming the
cleanliness of their future prod
ucts. The Hayes. office executives
now are meeting in New York to
consider the situation.
Meanwhile, the producers APP
parently have concluded that the
best way to stop the campaign is
to give the reformers nothing to
reform.
Jack Warner told the Warner
Bros. convention of sales execu
tives in San Francisco Sunday
that his firm would make pictures
for the whole family: that sex
and "sophisticated' pictures are
out. 49,.
Col. Jason S. Joy, formerly nf
the Hayes office, called &c Fox
writer's into conference and read
them the riot act. They were told
their stories were to be pure or

As an indication Of the way the
wind blows, .Adolph, Zukor, Para
mount executive, conferred in

HOOVER BOBS UP;TAKES RAP
 IN ARMS CASE
Charges U. s. Senate with Baking Geneva Arms
 Convention, 1925

PALO ALTO, Cal. Dec. 6.-For- mer President Herbert Hoover plac- es the responsibility for the failure of the control of international arms shipments at the Geneva conference of 1925, squarely against the U. s. Senate.
 Hoover stated that the Arms Conference, called by him prior to the International Convention regarding arms in general which met in Europe, was for the purpose of giving a hearing to munitions manufacturers in order to get then views as to methods of discrimi- mating between sporting and war like arms.
 Failure of the Senate to act baked the Geneva Arms Confer ence, he said, and had the effect of nullifying the work already done to curb the munition manufactur- CTS.

The price is so moderate and hours are from II until 2 o'clock, wit h prompt service assured so that no one need be late to business or school.

 Game Surprise
 This figure" Terhune said, lis conservative one and was re- checked several times. It surprised us and many other experts. No one, before the survey was made, placed any such high value on Alaska's game resources.
 This $s3,OoO,OOO includes sa5,- 100000 for fur animals, $31, ,O00, 900 for big game, and $27,00O,000 for birds. The actual cash realization for a year to- the Territory is about $3,30o,000.
 That we have great capital investment here is now a known fact. It must be taken care of, and we must build up and protect our valuable resources" Terhune said in conclusion.
 Several speakers, who made brief talks, were heard. They included Charles Flory, regional forester; c. A. Arnold, attorney from Ket- chikan; E. w. Griffin, Territorial Secretary, who introduced Ross A. Gridley, engineer inspector for the PWA, and K. N. Neill, auditor for the PWA; Dr. Vance B.
