GRAPHED SI.NCK JACK WON TITLE.

These bathing beauties gave Champion Jack Dcmpsev one of the heartiest welcomes and congratulations that he has received since winning the title. The girls whp are touring with a ^mic film let't the theater where they were scheduled to appear just so they might give their personal greetings to the new champ. But there's a reason —it is because Jack looked like somebody from home to them, for they had met him out at their playgrounds on the California beaches last year before he became so very famous and before they left their sunny clime to tour in the chilly north. The girls were all betting on Jack to win, they told him, when they met him in Toledo.

TOLD POLICEMAN HE HAD'POLL'SOMEWHERE

'Jitney'' Bill Wallace's Hold Must Have Slipped, However—Was Mahaney Too Active!

Something like a mistake was made by William (Jitney Bill Wallace when he informed Patrolman Larry Mahaney that he (Wallace) was not going to do a single day's "time" for his Jatest violation of the state liquor law. "Jitney's" statement to this effect made to Mahaney when landed in jail, came out in his trial in City Court Friday afternoon before R. Voorliees Newton, special judge, when a finding, of guilty was made by the court.

Wallace was arrested the night of June 26 by Sergeant Frank Rausch and Patrolman Mahaney at his garage, and in the car was found copious quantities of whiskey, gin and beer. The case was fought throughout and marked by spirited verbal encounters by the two sides. Wallace maintained that he had rented the car to a man named William Rosi, who had driven into the garage with it and immediately slipped out into the darkness.

However, testimony of the officers showed that they had arrived within a few seconds after the car, and the only outlet available was -the one through which the car had been driven. It also was shown that Wallace had ordered a mechanic named Lyons to back the car out, and was stopped at the curb by Mahaney, after which Wallace opened a case of half-pints and he and Lydns drank the liquor, throwing the bottle away.

Material evidence was given by Patrolman Mahaney, who was on the old red light district "beat" daring June and who, it has been intimated, was too active in suppressing law .violations and who was transferred the first of July to a beat in the "sticks."' A fin© of $100 and costs and 60 days on the penal farm was given and an appeal taken.

SHOWN IN PERMITS

Reports for Week Include Orpheum Theater Remodeling to Cost About $8,000,

An increase in building activities is marked during the week in the,permits ilsued by the board of public works. Heading the list of the more important permits authorized is that for the Orpheum theater, calling for extensive remodeling of the picture house at an estimated cost of $8,000, according to figures given on the permit.

The work began on the remodeling of the Orpheum yesterday. The whole building is being renovated and portions rebuilt to make a complete change in the appearance as well as add to the comfort of the building.

A new colonial front, built of Hytejj, .brick in a rich colonial red, trimmed wifh white stone, will cross the whole front end of the \building, while a glass marquee over the side, walk, similar to the Hippodrome, will add to the appearance. The floor in the lobby will be of red quarried tile, completing an unusual and attractive effect in a front. The interior wril be carried out in the colonial style with white enamel wood work, while a unique decoration will be added in keeping with the whole, yet not running to the ornate.

There will be aiy addition to the seating capnfcity, biit the effort will be mainly toward creating a beautiful theater with all comfort for patrons, rather than increasing the size. The stage will be renovated and re-decor-ated with the organ placed at the back, enclosed in sounding board With ornamental openings at either side on the stage level to emit the sound. The screen will be placed back from where it now stands to relieve eye strain from the nearness of the pictures.

There will be four openings at the front, allowing an easier entrance and exit to the theater to accommodate crowds. 4. green tile'roof will project over the whole structure. This will be a crowning touch which will make the r.ew Orpheum theater not alone unique in this fact but will add to the colonial effect. The contractors expect to rush the work right along in order' to have the theater ready for r^-opening in September.

The decorators from Chicago will come this week and the contracts will be let for the interior. The removal of the orlan to the back of the stage will allow a cleared view of the screen from all angles,, while the sounding board arrangement together with the openings in the stage will give the volume of sound required.

Remodeling at an estimated cost of 51,100 is to be done by the Joseph Diekemper & Son commission company at First and Walnut streets, according to a permit which has been issued to the company.

Being well acquainted with the manner of doing things in city court Nat almost felt at home when he faced Judge Shafer and pleaded not guilty and had trial set for Tuesday afternoon.

Nat wasn't hankering to renew acquaintances and his feet began to move and, while they were doing their best, Nat extracted a bottle of liquor from* his pocket, as well as a glass, and got rid of them." Then Nat was captured and ihe chase camc to an end. the bottle and glass both located and the lot taken to the police station where Nat was examined by Sergeant Hardy and sent to jail.
