Innocent Man
 Is Executed In 'Wintersct'
But Capitol Cinema Turns Out All Right-Ev-
 erybody's Happy

How the unjust execution of an innocent man for a crime he did not commit draws it's grim net about a waterfront clique is strikingly re- vealed in "Winterset,' the Capitol Thea,er's screen drama from Max well Anderson's famous play which opened last night.
 The gripping action, set in New Yorks East Side, deals with the cli- max of a fifteen-year search con- ducted by a youth to clear the name of his father, the victim. The hero encounters not only the judge who passed sentence, but the real killer, the father of an unwilling partici- pant in the crime, and a girl with whom he falls in love although she is related to an accomplice.
 The interplay of these various characters and their motives fur nishes the many emotional crises of the story.
 ''Winterset," on the stage, won from the New York Dramatic Cri- tics Circle its award as the best Am erican play of the season. Burgess Meredith and Margo, who created the principal role on Broadway, re- peat their portrayals in the RKO Radio Picture.

Visit Recalls A|aska's Dual
 Representation
Chindbloms of Illinois Re count Delegates Con-
 troversy in l9l8-20

The visit here of former Repre- sentative Carl R. Chindblom of H. limos last night recalled the interest ing historical occasion when Alaska bad two Delegates to Congress = and both were paid for their labors
 MT Chindblom, who is accompan- jed by his wife on round-trip voy- age on the Prince Robert, visited Judge James Wickersham n d George B. Grigsby, the central fig ures in political controversy which gave Alaska dual representation.
 It seems that MT. Chindblom, who served five times in Congress from Chicago, was chairman of the Elec- tions Committee, which investigated contests to the election of Delegates in Alaska
 Judge Wickersham and the late Charles Sulzer, brother of former New York Governor William Sulzer were opponents for the office of Delegate in 1916 and 1913 the for mer on the Republican ticket and the latter on the Democratic slate
 Race Dead Heat
 Both races finished almost in a dead heat-with only a handful of votes separating the contenders Sulzer was declared elected in 1916, but Judge Wickersham contested the election. The same situation arose in 1918 and the same contest was put into effect.
 Meanwhile, one month after the 1918 election MT. Sulzer died, with the contested elections still unde- cided. MT Grigsby declared he would run as Democratic candidate for

fell asleep in his chair for a little,
and it was then Marcia called
him again. Finding him home
drove the girl into a white fury.

comment.
When Dick got back to his
apartment Marcia was calling.
The steamship line just called.
They say you haven't made final
arrangements about our tickets"
They had planned to go to Ber-
muda. Dick hardly heard what
she said.
Marcia, dead. What is happen
ing is the most important thing in
my whole life. I can't explain. I
can't tell you You've got to carry
on for me. No, I can't go any

There was long pause as Marcia
argued.
Il haven't even been to bed"
Marcia could get no explanation
out of Dick. The poor girl was
frantic.
Henry, the servant, thought his
master had gone mad. He tried to
get him to eat something, but Dick
would take nothing but quantities
of coffee.
So far nothing! Dick sat down to
go over again all that had hap
pened. If only he could get his
hands on a vague clue. But since
Karen had been down at Miss
WelSh's, there were so many people
who might have known her; who
might have planned this thing.
A POSSIBLE CLUE
Dick spent two hours with Ruth
in her office and she felt sincerely
sorry for him. He gave her no ex-
planation for his inquiries, but he
begged her to have faith in him
without them.
Ruth, just help me. That's all I
ask. Say nothing to anybody about
thiS!"
But Ruth could give him no leads.
"She telephoned me, you know,
on Monday" Ruth said.
But the only person who ever
came down here was that hand.
some fellow who tipped off the
newspapers.
Dick sat staring at Ruth. Then
he jumped up and left without
further comment. He was haggard
and he showed plainly he had not
slept.
Poor Marcia" Ruth shook her
head.
But she kept her own counsel,
realizing that Karen Mallory was
missing. Even Ruth did not suspect
it was a kidnapping. She believed
the girl had run away.
Gloom hung over the Mallory
house when he got there, a deep
tragic silence through the beauti.
full rooms. Mrs. Mallory was under
the care of a doctor. The Mallory
mansion was like morgue.
1t was after 5 o'clock. Dick did
not talk to Mallory but asked to
see Jay in private. They went into
the drawing room.
. "Jay, do you know Prince Serge
RAM?
Who doesnt?"
GO out and find out where he's
living, and all you can about him"
What has he to do with thiS?"
Dick shook his head: Hes been
trying to blackmail Karen in a
gentlemanly sort of way"
Il don't believe it."
"It'S true. She told me"
Shed have told dad if that
had been the case"
Then Dick told the story Of
Serge's last efforts to get money.
and how he had tipped off the
newspapers to Karen's job. Hes
very bitter and he's broke" Dick
said.
But he comes from one of the
best families in Europe"
He may be related to the King
of Siam, but he's a crook and he
needs money-bad! Go ahead,

Jay finally agreed reluctantly.
He got ready to leave, and Dick
decided to go back to his apart
ment for telephone calls.

To call a tug a nuisance
Doesn't seem quite fair,
Some day you may be in need
And wish that tug was there.
It only takes a little time
To open those draws so wide
And let that little tug
Proceed to the other side.
When those bridges open wide
IT'S a beautiful sight to see
Maybe not for some people
But it sure is to me.

Airport tumble

VX1AsHINGTON'S airport problem, which has been
. w flying around for more than decade was given
an ironical twist by developments in New York City
last week.
Mayor LaGuarda and Col. Brehon B. Somevel,
WPA administrator, broke ground for development
of thirteen-miIlion airport for the metropolis
at North Beach, Long Island. The airport will be COM
pleted in the spring of 1889.
That means that planes will be able to land within
twenty minutes of Manhattan against the approx
mately forty minutes that passen-
LUIS A""' ""e gers now have to travel after they
In Half aiobt at Newark.
The ronv of the situation about from the fact
that when Mayor LaGuardia was in the House futile
efforts we're even then being made to establish decent
arnort for the National Capital Even ironical
however, is the fact that Colonel Somervell ten years
ago was District Engineer in this and was one of
the original proponents of the development of GraveIy
Point as the local airport.
On the dav that these two men, who years ago
the solution of the Districts airport problem, broke
ground to give New York safe and convenient air
port the War Department agreed to let airiners land
at Boiling Field in order to remove the great hazards
which the planes now encounter at Washington
Airport.
If these men can solve the problem for New York
City, with the aid of nine million dollars of Federal
money why can't the problem be
WO "e" ""O solved for the Federal City where,
Got Away according to the President, the
Federal Government has an obligation to meet the
financial burden.
An interesting thing about the development of the
North Beach Airport is the time saving element. 1t
will cut the taxi or bus travel on the New York end
of trip from Washington in half That's important
to aviation and to flying passengers.
Just when New York sets out to this time for the
filters certain people would have Washington move its
airport out to Camp Springs
AoheS ~ WI A"e'e' in Maryland thereby adding
7"" ~ A00 about twenty twenty-five
minutes of taxi or bus travel to the New Wash
ington air journey.
Definitely the New York project, combined with
the Presidents message vetoing the Washington
Hoover development BILL should spell the doom of the
ill-advised Camp Springs furry Likewise it should
bring about nsisence that the Federal Government
get to work at once on the Gravely Point site.

Assails Obsolete Roads

I am happy to be leaving
Washington. In the last three
months I have come to like this
beautiful city and its friendly
people-and yet I am happy to
be leaving.
Please let me explain. In the
last 80 days my car has travelled
1000 miles over Virginia and
Maryland roads.
I am a salesman, covering
these two States. Why do two
old established and wealthy
States persist in building such
death traps and dangerous
roads?
The asphalt type Of construc-
ton used by Virginia and Mary
land Is cheaper in cost of con-
struction, but has anyone ever
considered the terrible cost Of
such roads in human life2
In wet weather these roads are
so slick one can hardly keep a
car on the road. At night the
car lights seems to be swallowed
by the black surface Of the road.
Then look at the high crowns
and rounded tops of the roads.
I can tell a car from Virginia
miles away-for it will be riding
the center Of the road to avoid
the side pull of the Slanting
roads.
The blood of every person
killed on the roads has been
squandered because of criminal
neglect in allowing obsolete
roads to carry heavy traffic.
And so am glad I am leav-
ing. I am glad I will not have
to drive over such roads again.
