Calls for Parents
Using a megaphone, one Of the
policemen held up his small
charge and told the crowd that q
child answering to the name Of
Ernie" would like to have his
parents come for him.
The usual racket" Of selling
admission, by which boys will take
in" any grownup who doesn't have
his own children, were sharply
frowned upon this year. Detectives
were stationed at the entrances
watching all who came and went,
making sure that no child came
and went too many times with too
many different parents.
Half an hour after the party be-
gan at 8 a. M, the police had aScer-
tanned which of the 30-odd boys
were selling" admission. Each
suspect was taken out Of line and
told to stay in or out, while the
paying customers" were told to
come back at 3 p. m, when all
adults were permitted to enter
children or no children.

SPEECH TO GIVE
THEMKEYT0
CAMPAIGN
Natio nal Broadcast
On Air at lO:3OP. M.
From Baltimore
BY GEORGE DURNO
International News Service

Preceded by an old-faShioned
torchlight parade, President Roose-
welt will return to the active politi-
cal arena tonight in Baltimore,
where he is scheduled to address
q mass me- citing Of some 10000
young Democrats.
Observers generally expected
that the Presidents remarks,
which will be nationally broadcast
at 1890 p m. (E. s. To-, would
have an important bearing on his
campaign for reelection.
Among those present at the Bal
timore rally will be the 48 State
presidents, national committee
men and committeewomen Of the
Young Democratic Clubs Of Amer
lea. The meeting was arranged
particularly that Mr.. Roosevelt
might chart a course of campaign
procedure for his younger ad-
herentS.
Next Speech Here
Interest was increased in to-
nights speech also because the
President has not been on the
radio recently. During the past
three weeks, while developments
on the Republican side Of the
fence were rapidly coming to a
boil, he has been fishing and
summing himself in the remoter
waters Of the British Bahamas.
Today, at the executive offices,
the President was putting finish
ing touches on his message to
the Young Democrats. He plan
ned to leave Washington tonight
Just in time to reach the Fifth
Regiment Armory in Baltimore as
an allevening torchlight parade
comes to an end.
From now on, it appeared Mr..
Roosevelt would keep himself
much in the public eye through
personal appearances all over the
country. His next speech is
scheduled before the annual con-
vention of the Daughters of
American Revolution here, April
20. Five days later, he will jour-
ney to New York to address
Democrats there at a belated
Jefferson Day dinner.
AS yet, no engagements have
been revealed for May, but it was
regarded certain there would be
at least one.
Texas In June
The end Of May, the President
leaves Washington on his long
planned trip to Texas for the Lone
Star States centennial celebra-
ton, opening June 6. Stops en-
route have been arranged tenta-
lively in Kentucky and Arkansas,
in addition to customary rear-plat-
form appearances, and on the way
back to Washington he will de-
liver a speech at VincenneS, Ind.
After the Democratic National
Convention goes through the
formality of re-nominating him in
Philadelphia the latter part Of
June, it is expected Mr.. Roosevelt
will make a quick trip to the
quaker city to accept it in person.
Plans beyond that date are
extremely tentative and depend
emit upon political developments.
Before November, however, it was
regarded certain that almost
every section of the country will
have received a personal visit
from Mr.. Roosevelt.

RITTER TRIAL

Fate Hangs On Senate
Decision On Three
Main Points
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International Newn serviCe


The fate Of Federal Judge Hal.
sted L. Ritter of Miami, Fla, may
be turned over to his Senate jury
by nightfall In his impeachment
trial upon charges Of corruptly &C
cepting money while on the bench.
There were some lndlcations he
might win an acquittal through
the failure Of House managers to
convince two-thirds Of the jurors
beyond a reasonable doubt" that
the Judge committed any crime.
The Judge spent four hours on
the witness stand. He categorically
denied every charge brought by
the House of Representatives. His
fate appeared to rest upon the
Senate's finding on three specific
charges. These were:
1. That he accepted 5000
out of a $4,000 fee he person
ally awarded A. L. Rankin, his
former law partner, in q recetv-
ership suit involving the White
hail Hotel at West Palm Beach,
Fla.
2. That he accepted q $500
gift from the late ]. r. Francis,
wealthy Florida realtor, for
legal services rendered after he
went on the bench.
3. That he failed to account
for either the 5000 or the
$500 in his income tax returns.
Ritter'S explanations were these.
He accepted S., 900 from Rankin In
different sums from December "a,
1880, to January %, 1882, in pay.
ment of a debt due him from dis
solution Of their partnership.

Film Reveals StovOf
WhatCoesOnInside
enitentiaryWans

A most unusual murder mystery
drama, the scenes of which take
place almost entirely within the
bleak walls of a great penitentiary,
is scheduled as the feature attrac-
tion at the Metropolitan Theatre on
next Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
and Tuesday, under the title
"Jailbreak.''
This unique Warner Bros. pro-
duction paints with stark realism
life within a walled city and it's con-
facts with the outer world. 1t lays
bare the surging emotions of men
of hot passions, confidence men,
safe robbers, stick-up men, racke-
teers, killers, who carry their hates
and evil intrigues with them into
their prison cells.
In this strange drama, two men
are slain, one in his cell and an
other n the prison library, with
wardens and guards and TRUSTEES in
speaking distance. And while there
are attempted murders for revenge,
in the first killing the motive is to
steal the vast fortune of racke-
teer, who had cached his money be-
fore his conviction. The second is
committed to cover up the crime.
There is large and talented cast
in the principal roles in addition to
hundreds Of men playing the parts
of prisoners. Craig Reynolds has
the leading role, that of a star re-
porter for a city daily, who even
tually solves the murders and re-
Veals the motive.
June Travis has the role of secre-
tary to Joseph King, who plays the
part of the ex-racketeer, who had
been trying to go straight, but had
been threatened with death by an
other crook because he would not
join him in dope-running scheme.
Purposely committing a minor off
ense TO escape the vengeance of
the crook by prison sentence, he
eventually is shot down like a rat
in his cell.
Richard Purcell has the role of
the yindictiye and vengeful crook
with George E. Stone as his chief
aide. Both are suspected of the
crimes, but SO also are two of the
prison guards, parts played by Ad,
Olson Richards and Charles Middle
ton.
Barton McLane is the clustering
detective who is trying to solve the
mysteries and getting nowhere, and
Joseph Crehan is the prison war
den. Eddie Acuff and Mary Treen
have the roles of comedy reporters
on the case. 1t is Reynolds who fl
nally solves the crimes and wins
June Travis.

tion from the screen play by Rob
