Dear Sirs:
We have your letter OF February
10. 1886, in which you assert that
you are not discriminating against
colored persons by prohibiting
them from using the front gate OF

Your explanation to the effect
that what appears as discrimdna-

avoid traffic congestion Is far from
satisfactory.
Investigation on our part mas
shown that you have prohibited
funerals OF colored persons from
using the front entrance In cases
where there was absolutely no pos

that In many cases. n not In all

''Rebeccca Of Sunnybrook
 Farm' Soon

i Rebecca, the imaginative little girl whose name came out of Ivan hoe and who lived at Sunnybrook Farm, has long been the favorite role of the greatest stars of the stage For the modern Fox sound version of the immortal classic, to be shown at the Dream Theatre, Friday, Mar ian Nixon whose personality has carried her to new screen heights, was chosen to portray the character that to millions is symbolic of op- timism.
 Conceived originally as the her oine of a series of short stories by Kate Douglas Wiggin, "Rebecca" was later made into a stage play by the author in collaboration with Char lotte Thompson.
 Director Alfred Santell re-created the renowned Farm of Sunnybrook in the present production just as it appeared in the pages of the origin al book, in the picturesque sleepy farming country near Santa Cruz, California There, far away from the artifcalties of studio life and influence, the entire cast lived for weeks enacting the romantic drama that has captured the imagination of millions.
 The plot deals with the experienc es of an imaginative, impulsive girl who leaves her beloved Sunnybrook to live with her elderly maiden aunts, the very pillars of respect ability in a Maine village Her pen chant for adopting everybody'S troubles wins the immediate disap- proval of the aunts but strikes quick ly at the heart and sympathy of pr. Adam Ladd, who befriends her from her first day in the village.
 Ralph Bellamy portrays the char acter of Dr. Ladd while Mae Marsh is seen as Aunt Jane and Louise Closer Hale as Aunt Miranda
 Other characters of note in the pie ture are Alan Hale, as the eccentric radical; Sarah Padden, the kind hearted woman who wants to adopt the child; Ronald Harris, lovable tWo-year- who nearly steals the picture in his first screen role, and scores of others.

ments might as well be in China as in
Phoenix.
The automobile Dick had purchased
in Phoenix purred smoothly up the
paved incline to the top of the ridge.
As the car gained the crest, Dick
could see the pavement stretching like
a ribbon of shimmering silver in the
sunlight At the foot of the grade was
the junction between the paved high
way and the dirt road which lead to
Quartzburg. That road. Dick saw, was
dotted with vehicles, each one black
spot behind which drifted little powder
puifS of white dust.
Phoenix papers had carried news of
the gold strike in Quartzburg. and
already the gold rush had started.
Veteran prospectors turned their
weather-beaten cars toward the scene
of the new strike. Callow tenderfeet,
who would no more have known how
to search for gold than to saddle a
horse, were drawn by the lure of easy
riches. fancying that to pick up gold it
was only necessary to stroll out into
the sage-covered hills. Glib-tongued
men with shrewdly penetrating eyes
hurried toward the place where the
newest sucker crop was to be gathered.
These were the modern confidence
men. individuals who would disclose
''in strict confidence" their affiliation
with eastern syndicates and New York
capital; men who would juggle claims,
sell worthless locations. secure options
for no consideration other than spe-
cious promises.
Dick reflected somewhat bitterly
that, had he but waited a few days, he
would not have needed the elaborate
scheme by which he had sought to
clothe his arrival in Quartzburg with
the appearance of an accident. Now
that the wires had flashed the magic
news to all sections of the country, the
lode stone Of greed was drawing hum

find out anything more about that
shooting?"
II don't want to talk about it,"
she admitted, but you're entitled to
an explanation. Tom Wharton, my
manager. had been prospecting over
on the Flying.M. One of the Flying-M
riders had an argument with Tom and
ordered him to stay off the range. Tom
didn't tell me about it at the time.
This same rider happened to be where
he could see us riding up the ridge and
looking the Flying-M outfit over.
AT any rate. that's Toms theory.
He had finished his target practice and
was riding up the trail to join us when
he saw a horseman pull rifle from a
saddle scabbard and start crawling
toward the shelter of large rock. Tom
thought the man was getting ready to
shoot a deer. When he realized the
man was shooting at us. Tom opened
up with his rifle. The man jumped
back to his saddle and went down the
other side of the ridge at dead gall
lop. He was out of sight before Tom
could reach the crest OF the ridge"
Dick nodded. accepting the ex-
PLANTATION with courteous silence. He
knew that it was an explanation which
was, on the face of it. absurd. Either
someone had spotted him as one of the
hated &c" men and had tried to kill
him, or Tom Wharton himself had
done the shooting. in which latter
event, Dick felt certain the bullets had
been intended for him and that the
killing of Virginia DANES horse had
been purely an accident. If, however,
the shooting had been by the Waxon
Gang. the hidden marksman might
have supposed Virginia Daine had
some affiliation with the government
man because the two had been seen
so much together.
