SAME METHODS
Heaven knows, I had no love
for the House of Hohenzollern
and even less for the way in
which its agents conducted them
selves in the conflict. But I
could see little to choose be-
tween their methods and those
used within the most recent past
by their opponents. It just hap

And considering that charity,
like patriotism, begins at home,

Russian people they never would

eager to die for their beloved
ruler, and they would have given
the moderates of the Miliukoff

rogant jaw, Mr.. Woollcott con-
ceives a different notion-one
which makes the whole ghastly
affair even more hideous.
Hauptmann, Mr.. Woollcott be-
lieves, is not an ordinary crimi-
nal. He is an "egomaniac," a
man in whom normal egotism
has mounted to such madness
that he would run any risk, COM
NIT any horror to crafty his
own conceit.
JEALOUSY
when at last" says Mr..
Woollcott, "the full story of this
monstrous crime becomes a
matter of record. L think it
will be shown that the Hopewell
nursery was rifled by one who
hated the worlds hero with all
the insane jealousy of which
an egomaniac is capable"
Jealousy? But of what?
They were strangers. And even
if he had a cause, no man could
be jealous enough to do such a
fiendiSh thing"
That will be the average citi'
zen's reply to Mr.. Woollcott'S
prophecy, and nothing could be
more indicative of our popular
ignorance.
No trait in human nature
causes more misery or is used as
an aIbi for more fiendish
cruelty than jealousy. yet most
of us speak of it lightly, even
admiringly-and nsider it
proof of a strong nature or deep
devotion!

REPORT MADE ON BASKETBALL
 PLAY FOR YEAR
President Phillips Report Includes Many Rec
 concentrations

It's a far cry back to the 1854 s5 City Basketball League season but such cry was made this week when 6 report from A. B. Philips, president of the loop, was sent to all managers and players.
 The seasonal report included a financial statement and list of recommendation for next year, as well as complete tabulation of standings and scores of all games,
 The financial figures indicated that the league showed an oper- ating profit of $8855 for the entire season including all games play ed with the xception of the Wrangell-Juneau Southeast Alaska high school championship series.
 Several radical changes for next year were made by Phillips after his first season as City League President. Of chief interest among these was his suggestion that the season was too long" He urged that the split season be started earlier in the fail end that a full month of rest" be observed be- tween the two halves of play.
 Another important recommen- dation was the boosting Of the team roster from eight to ten men each. 8 that no team should be left to finish the game with only four or three players" in the ad- ven5 that personal fouls remove players from the competition.
 Limitation of the teams in the league to six instead of seven also va recommended Further sug- gestions included practice games at which the referees for the season would appear in order to familiar ize players with their interpretation Of rules; and, finally, submission in writing of players applications to avoid protests over eligibility.

''HI NELLIE" COMES FRIDAY
 TO CAPITOL
Paul Muni Is Starred as Managing Editor in
 Newspaper Play

Paul Muni, veteran of innum- erable stage and screen successes comes to the Capitol Theatre Fri day in his latest Warner Bros. pie ture, Hi, Nellie!"
 The story by Roy Chanslor, a newspaperman, deals entirely with newspaper work and newspaper characters in their contact with the outside world in gathering of the sensational stories of the day.
 Muni has the role of a managing editor who is sentenced to write the Heart Throbs column because he has displeased the publisher The manner in which he accepts his bitter pill, after writhing un- der the gibes of his fellow work CTS, and works back into stronger position than ever, is one of the most hilarious. as well as thrilling dramas ever to be screened.
 Glenda Farrell plays opposite Muni in the role of woman re- porter and the sweetheart of the managing editor. Others in the cast include the Russian ballet dancer, Kathryn Sergava, Robert Barrat, Ned Sparks, Hobart Cavanaugh and Berton Churchill.
 The story for a large part takes place in the city room of great metropolitan paper which is said to be an exact replica of the local room of one of the New York dail- ies. Every detail of the film is re- puted to have been worked out in exact accordance with the practic- es generally followed by actual newspapers with the true press at mosphere.
 Mervyn LeRoy directed the pie ture from the screen play by Abem Finkel and Sidney Sutherland, the latter two also being ex-newspaper- men.
