BANDIT SUSPECT SHOT BY POLICE TO HALTFLIGHT Officers to Quiz Wounded Man on Holdups in City Recently. Wounded in the hip by a policeman's bullet as he fled in attempt to escape arrest early today, a man giving his name as Vernie Lee, 28, of 827 South Delaware street, was held in detention ward at city hospital today, where detectives say they will question him concerning recent holdups in the city. Another man, Jess Mackrell, 25, of 168 North Blackford street, who police believe may be Lee’s brother, was sought after his escape from a policeman, at his rooming house. Lee, whose name is said to be Mackrell, was found by motor policemen Joseph Klaiber and Irwin Bailey, asleep in the bottom of a huge tank, at the P. & E. railroad yards. Awakened by the policemen’s flashlights, he scampered up a ladder, squirmed through a hole, and started to descend a ladder on the outside. Leaping twenty-five feet to the ground he ran as Bailey ordered him to halt, punctuating the command with one shot when the fugitive failed to stop. Jess Mackrell was arrested at the Blackford street address, but jerked loose from Klaiber, and escaped down an alley. Owner of the rooming house told police the men were brothers, and that Lee had given police an alias.

COWBOYS CAPTURE FANCY OF AUDIENCE

Otto Gray and His Western Bunch Bring Back the Melodies that Grandpa Knew and Loved So Much. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN EVERYTHING seems to run to cowboy3 this week if the receptions being accorded Otto Gray and his Oklahoma Cowboys mean anything. Dogs, a pony and even a monkey as well as the old time tunes such as “Pop Goes the Weasel” and “Sippin’ Cider Thru a Straw” are all mixed up with the antics of the cowboys in the Otto Gray act. The success of Otto Gray and his gang over the radio is being duplicated upon the variety stage. I am frank when I tell you that I never have seen an audience in a vaudeville theater get so worked up as the first audience I saw at the Lyric yesterday. Every seat was taken

C., June 10.—Josiaji Bailey, who led the regular Democratic faction of North Carolina in defeating Senator Furnifold M. Simmons in the primary election last Saturday, is convinced the 1928 lift in the party has been healed. The nominee thanked his supporters for the plurality of 64,000 which swept him to victory over the veteran Senator Simmons, who had led his followers against Alfred E. Smith in the last presidential election and whose political machine had been all-powerful in this state for thirty years. Belief is general that the defeat Saturday marked the final retirement of the 76-year-old senator. Results of the Republican party primary indicated a victory in the senatorial race for George Pritchard.

our grandparents. Gray and those associated with him tackle these tunes and the comedy in a non-professional way. As one woman who sat next to me said, “I really believe that they are real cowboys. They act that way. I know that they are not chorus men.” And I could have told her that the men associated with Gray are the

real cowboy article. I know that they get mighty close to the hearts of men, women and children. There is an American naturalness to these men as well as native born showmanship. When any act or group of men can make this old world a happier place for us humans to live in, well, I am for that act. Marion Wilkins and her revue are holding up what might be termed the artistic end of the bill this week at the Lyric. Miss Wilkins is a good dancer an . she has the aid of three men. The act has a good and lively finish. Hokum, just plain every day hokum, is handed out in a noisy fashion by Kane and Ellis. The audience is for them. George Lyons starts out to do a sort of a classical harp recital but suddenly switches to the modern tempo. The movie feature is “Mamba” with Jean Hersholt, Eleanor Boardman and Ralph Forbes. It is the first drama done in color that I have seen on the screen. Splendid photography and a gripping story. Now at the Lyric. tt at Other Indianapolis theaters today offer: “King of Jazz” at the Circle, “Caught Short” at the Palace, “High Society Blues' at the Apollo, “Young Man of Manhattan” at the Indiana, “Paramount on Parade” at the Ohio, and George Fares at the Colonial. The American flag had thirty-six stars from July 4, 1865, to July 4 1867.
