baItimorean Accused
Of Ticket 'Sca|ping,'
Al Redskin Game
Police Catch Suspect
After Chase Of Block;
Pickpockets Rob Two

There were two empty seats in
Griffith Stadium yesterday be-
cause the holder of the tickets
was in police custody on a
"scalping" charge.
The alleged scalper was captured
after half-block chase by pair
OF detectives who looked like fugi-
tives from the Chicago Bear line.
His name was given by police as
Benjamin Sherman, 80, of Balti-
more.
Detective Sergts. Watson Salkeld
weight 300, and Howard Ogle, weight
225, reported they overheard Sher-
man disposing of a pair of $3.50
tickets for $12.
Caught After Chase.
When they sought to arrest him
and the buyer, the alleged seller
broke away. The policemen chased
him for a block and caught him. Mr..
Sherman wasn't running very fast
because he had two more tickets
hidden in his shoe, police said.
Ponce 1mpounded the two tickets,
took the name of the buyer of
the other two and allowed him to
go to the game. Mr.. Sherman re-
manned in police custody during
the contest.
1t was reported that grand stand
tickets were being sold by scalpers
for as high as $25 a pair, while
boxes were going for $50 Police
said they had trouble making ar
rests because it is necessary to catch
both the seller and buyer.
Pickpockets Rob Two Fans.
Pickpockets plucked more than $50
and draft and ration cards from the
pockets of two football fans attend
ing yesterdays game.
H. G. Henderson, 1649 Park road
NV, reported the loss of a billfold
containing s45 to $50, a draft card,
and two ration books. Allen Cohen.
635 Lamont street NV, lost $42 and
his draft card.

Music, Comedy, Color in
"Song of the Islands"

Take Betty CRADLES blonde love
illness. Vic Natures appeal, Jack
Oakie's inimitable brand of humor
and set them in Technicolor against
background of South Sea romance
and heaps of tip-top music, and you
have the kind of grand screen en-
tertainment to be found in Song
of the Islands," which opens Thurs
day at Kootenai theatre.
Assisting in the romantic dolngs
are such stalwarts as Thomas Nit
chell tangling automatically with
George Barber; Billy Gilbert, IN
the hilarious role of an erstwhile
cannibal; Hilo Hattie, major expo
nent of Hula live; and Harry
Owens and His Royal HaWaiians,
ace interpreters of island music.
The plot tells the story of Vic's
arrival on a Polynesian isle to run
his fathers cattle ranch with the as
sistance of Jack Oakie. Betty's IA
Their, played by Thomas Mitchell,
has been feuding with Vic's father,
George Barber, for years over the
right to use Mitchells property for
the shipment of cattle. Mitchell re-
fuses to have the island spoiled
by so-called modern improvements
Vic and Betty fall in love, OF
course, but Barber arrives on the
island to start high-pressurinf
Mitchell again. The resulting al.
tercation breaks up Vic and Betty's
romance. But the kids don't give
up without a fight. How the situa-
ton is finally resolved is something
you must see!
You'll roar at Jack Oakie's antic
with sundry love-siek maidens, ane
for eye-filling entertainment there
nothing like Betty Cradle and he
cohorts doing their Hula dances I'm
der the tropical moon. Vic Matur,
again proves himself heavens gift
to the matinee idol trade by turnln
in a great romantic performance.

Terminating IA years as pastor
of st. Johns Lutheran Church of
this city, the Rev. Fl. L. Pfoten-
hauer announced Sunday to his con-
gregation that he had decided to
accept call to the pastorate of the
Lutheran church at Woodstock, Ill.
Mr.. Pfotenhauer is planning to leave
Libby. with his family, the last OF
the month and expects to be IN
stalled in the new pastorate the flrst
Sunday in October.
Woodstock is a city of 5000 in

McHenry county. 1t is approximate
ly SIS miles from the Loop in Chi
cago in a northwesterly direction,
and is As miles from Addison, ILL.,,
the former home of both Mr.. and
Mrs. Pfotenhauer. 1t is situated in
a lovely country of woods and
lakes. near to the Wisconsin Dor
der. 1t has two outstanding indus
tries, with factories-the Alemite
Die Casting Co. and the Woodstock
Typewriter Co.
Because Woodstock is consider
ably larger than Libby, the Rev.
Mr.. Pfotenhauer considers it more
important field in which to con-
duct his work, considered from 9
comparative standpoint. The total
congregation of the Libby church
will number something more than
100; the Woodstock congregation is
approximately 500. The church also
has parochial school, with teach
err in charge of that work. The work
at Woodstock also includes care OF

pregation and the people of the
community in general have Away.

tenhauer, land the only reasons WI
have decided to leave are because
of the larger field and the ad-
vantage of being nearer to our rel

be more important but only becaus
a larger field gives more oppor
IuIlly
Libby was Mr. Pfotenhauer's frs
pastorate. He was ordained into tn
ministry and installed as the LIB.
pastor on the first Sunday in Au
gust, 1928 Thus he has been pas
tor here a little more than IA years
Mrs. Pfotenhauer would have bee
here eight years had she remaine'
until next January In the years tina
they have been here, both Mr.. an
Mrs. Pfotenhauer have made man
friends, not only in their oW
church but throughout the commun

CORRECTION

Because the writer was struck by
one of those brainstorms for which
there is no adequate explanation,
two small items were incorrectly
reported in last weeks issue. Mrs.
Art Greiner of Harrison visited
here with Mr.. and Mrs. E. Rayome
and Mrs. E. Rayome returned from
Kalispell following an eye opera
ton there. In both instances the
error consisted in using the name
of Racicot instead of RaYome.

Stephan Death Sentence
Appealed at Last Hour
Ry the Associated Press.

R3 the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Aug. 12.-Max Stephan,
German born Detroit restaurant
keeper sentenced to hang November
13, filed notice of appeal through at
torneys last night from the death
penalty pronounced after his con-
viction by United States District
Court jury here on treason charge
Federal Clerk George NJ Read
kept his Office open for more than
two hours after normal closing time
to receive the notice before the ex-
piration of the period in which it
might legally be filed.
The Circuit Court of Appeals in
Cincinnati ruled earlier in the day
that a notice filed before sentence
was pronounced had been premature
and could not stand.
Last nights notice was filed by two
attorneys who had not represented
Stephan in his trial, on charges of
aiding the flight of Nazi air officer
who escaped from a Canadian in
ternment camp. They were Nicholas
Salowich and James E. McCabe, as
sociates who have been representing
Theodore Donay, charged with mis-
prision of treason for aiding the
same fugitive Nazi, Oberleutnant
Hans Peter Krug.
The appeal asserted that the jury
went beyond the scope of the in
dictment in reaching its verdict, that
the indictment was unfounded on
fact and that "if Stephan was
guilty of any crime he was not guilty
Of treason"

U. 5. Won't Make Nicke|s
From Silver and Copper
\ the Associated Press.

BY lEe Associated Press.
Treasury officials revealed today
that boom in the value of silver
had forced them to discard plan
to make scent pieces out OF $3.50
combination of silver and copper.
Because some jewelers. now are
paying as high as 70 cents an ounce
for silver the mints discovered that
the new coins might be worth more
than cents apiece and people could
melt them down and sell the metal
at a profit.
The coin was designed last winter
when there was no prospect that
silver would be worth more than IS
cents an ounce. The metal in the
coin then would have been worth
about cents.
None of the new coins ever was
issued to the public. however, and
the mints now are working out new
designs which would cheaper the
metal by sdiluting it with steel OF
commercial manganese" or other
cheap metals.
The old "nickels"-which were q
per cent nickel and IS per cen,
copper-haven't been minted since
March, because the War Production
Board wanted to save both metals

A decision will have to be mad.

BLACKSBURG, Va, Aug. 12,-
Gov Darden. after an all-day in
vestigation of recent complaints by
students of mess hall conditions at
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, said
he hoped there would be an early
solution to the schools problems.
The Governor, coming here at the
invitation of President Julian A.
Burruss, said he hoped to return in
a week or 10 days. He refused to
make any specific statement con-
corning his findings yesterday after
talking with students and with DR.
Burruss and Col. r. w. Wilson,
.commandant.
The Governor did say that the
difhculty of obtaining satisfactory
help in the kitchen and dining room
appeared to be one of the most
serious problems confronting the
administration.
I'VE are working on plan to
solve that" he added.
