WooEcott-Kauffmsn Mystery Thriller

Those who are sincerely inter.

the apparent slipping of the
spoken, living drama into the
limbo of the lost, will find ample
grounds for encouragement, and
hope for eventual resurrection in
the experiment now being tested
in the laboratories of the Shubert-
BelaSco.
For the second week of its
trial season at popular prices
an audience which certainly taxed
the capacity of its orchestra and

Those two very popular young
men, George S. kaufman, who
once was columnist on the staff

fair degree of success in several
fields, collaborated in the author

CHICAGO, Ill, July 18.-Wil- liam Green, President of the American Federation of Labor. as- serted that the general strike in San Francisco was neither ordered nor authorized by the American Federation of Labor and has no national significance as far as or ganized labor is concerned and those who called it must accept full responsibility.
 Green explained that there has been some confusion in the public mind and believed some expla- nation from him was in order.
 'The strike in San Francisco is of a local character and pos sessing of no national significance" said Green.

MISSING BOY
 FOUND ALIVE

HARTSDALE, K. Y, July -l3.- Elghteen-months old Bobby Con- nor was today found alive and smiling by troopers in the woods behind his home. His mother tainted upon learning that her son. who disappeared July 12, had been found. The child is well, appar- antly and unharmed. He has a few scratches.
 The Kidnapping theory has col lapsed and the Federal agents have withdrawn from the case. The boy has been taken to the hospital "a very sick baby" with fair chance of recovery from near starvation. Blood transmission will be given the child. Showers last Sunday night probably saved the boys life. He had lain in the woods since last Thursday and his pink suit is bleached almost white.
 It is presumed he just toddled away and could not find his way home.

BISMARCK, N. D., July 18.- William A. Langer's troublous nineteen months tenure in the Governorship ended conditionally last night when the State Supreme Court declared, Lieut.. Gov. Ole Olson to be Acting Governor.
 The end of the contest over the office followed Langers convic- tion on June on a Federal charge of conspiring to solicit po- 1itical contributions from Govern ment workers.
 The court held however, that Langer might resume the office if the appeal to the Federal court was successful.
 The conviction resulted in the imposition of an 18 months prison sentence and also a fine of $10,- 900.
 Things Popping
 Acting Governor Olson has called on the Adjutant Generals office to withdraw Guardsmen and end the Statewide martial law order issued by Langer.
 The Acting Executive also issued a proclamation revoking Langer's call for a special session of the Legislature.
 The Adjutant General has not yet replied to Olsons request but the Guardsmen are not seen out side of the Capitol.
