‘FORT' RUN BY LEGS DIAMOND'S FOESIS SEIZED Cops Pinch Eight Gangsters Believed After Life of Racketeer. By United Press CATSKILL, N. Y., July 20.—Police believed today plans for another attempt on the life of Jack (Legs) Diamond had been frustrated with arrest of eight members of Vincent Coil’s gang and seizure of a small arsenal in two hideouts near Diamond’s haunts. Six gunmen were arrested Sunday at White’s farm, near Cairo, only a few miles from Diamond's well-guarded country retreat at Acra. Two others were taken at ' Coxsackie. The raids netted two machine guns, seven sawed-off shotguns. ten revolvers, several thousand rounds of ammunition and five stolen automobiles. It was at Aratoga Inn, not far away, that Diamond was riddled with machine gun bullets last spring in the third attempt on his life. Meantime, reports were current that Diamond’s gang, encouraged by the acquittal of their leader on a charge of kidnaping and torturing a truckman who was hauling beer, had begun to “muscle In” on the liquor racket in Rensselaer and Ulster counties in addition to Greene, while in New York Attorney-Gen-eral John J. Bennett announced in a radio speech he would press even harder for Diamond’s conviction. BOY’S ADVENTURE ENDS New York Lad Hoped to See Indians and Cowboys in Marion. By Times Special MARION, Ind.. July 20.—At the end of a trail of adventure, Carl Stevenson, 16-year-old New York schoolboy who started to be a globetrotter, has been returned to his eastern home. The youth, who said he had no parents, and lived with people who “bored him,” remembered an adage about going west, and was well on his way when police officers found him crawling from a box car here. Stevenson said he was disappointed not to see some cowboys and Indians, as he thought they were still plentiful this far west.

HERE IS A DETECTIVE THAT YOU WILL LIKE Dan Emmett Is the Sort of an Officer That Gives One Faith in the Department Although He Lives in a Movie. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN DAN EMMETT is the sort of a detective who is not a comedy strip or a boob. You will meet Dan in "Hush Money,” and as played by Douglas Cosgrove—well Cosgrove walks away with the picture. And it is no easy thing to do when the cast includes Joan Bennett as a girl with a “racket.” Hardie Albright as a very lovable young man, Myrna Loy as Flo Curtis, and Owen Moore as Steve Pelton, a crook. Dan discovers that Pelton is a crook who is hooked up with Jack Curtis, played by C. Henry Gordon.

Pelton has an aid in Janet (Miss Bennett) and when the gang is caught after a clever holdup of a wealthy couple leaving the opera,

all three pay the price. Janet does her time, but on leaving prison, goes to work and through the kindly advice of Dan, keeps on going straight. Os course she falls in love with a nice boy and a wealthy one (Albright) and Dan persuades her not to tell her future husband of her past. From then

on the story is as you would suspect Pelton starts blackmailing Janet and takes from her some marvelous jewels that she is to wear at her third anniversary party. But the story gets its kick in how Dan gets back the jewels. And that is as exciting as any Alger story I have ever read. Cosgrove is natural as the detective. He gives you faith in the law and its officers. Miss Bennett is just as you would have her. This Albright lad is new to the screen, but he is going to get there. “Hush Money” is good theater. Now at the Apollo. tt n u FINE STAGE SHOW AT THE INDIANA When I say that the “soldier” or tin helmet number done by some wonderful toe dancers is the best dance offering I have ever seen at the Indiana, I mean that and nothing else. Here is a dance offering, conceived and executed as I would expect and demand in a four-buck musical on Broadway. In tempo it has the swing of “The March of the Wooden Soldiers,” but that is all in common. The girls come out marching on their toes, wearing helmets, their uniforms and carrying guns. Then the electrician does something and you have an effect that caused the house to cheeer wildly. Never have I seen a dance number at this theater receive the amount of applause that this number is receiving. The fact is, if the Indiana could get stage shows of the magnitude and novelty of this one, nobody would have any worries. There is no master of ceremonies and none are needed. Even the solo work of the woman singer is way above the average. And a trick mule is just food and drink for the children in the audience. And the finale is just one blaze of color and action. Here is a real stage show and one that it is easy to recommend. There is going to be a difference of opinion regarding the amusement worth of the movie, “The

Night Angel,” with Nancy Carroll and Fredric March. I was interested mostly in the way the director photographed the court room scene which is the high spot of the story. The Indiana has an added attraction of C. G. Conn’s Junior Radio Band, composed of fifty boys and girls of this city. And not a one of them is over fourteen. And can they play? They can.

In all fairness to the better things on the screen, it is necessa-y to

give credit where credit is due. I am speaking of Governor Gifford Pinchot’s cruise to the South Seas to record nature and the natives in sound and picture. It is on the same bill with Conrad Nagel and Betty Compson in “Three Who Loved.” Governor Pinchot, as well as Mrs. Pinchot and some of the boys in the

party, tell you about the many things they saw and experienced while on this great cruise to get specimens for the National museum. I was especially interested when they captured an enormous turtle, I think it weighed 350 pounds, and the darn thing got friendly and even crawled into her lap while en route to the United States. The bats in the cave was another good shot. I am glad that this travel movie shows us more of nature and of animals than of natives. Here is a splendid example of

a movie that educates without boring one. There are some things that one should see and this Pinchot movie is one of them. It is educational without being offensive. And I am sure that it will hold youi attention. And all the scenes are real. No'studio stuff -where it should be actually South seas. I am recommending this travel movie. Now at the Circle, tt M M Have always thought that the movie director makes a bigger mess in trying to bring the character of a newspaperman to the screen than anything else. After seeing Ramon Novarro in “Son of India,” I know that the India reflected here is only a movie

man’s wild dream. It probably resembles India in atmosphere and spirit about as a can of sardines resembles a whale. Novarro is guilty of over as well as underacting. The fact is the story isn’t so hot. A native son of India falls madly in love with an American girl. You think she is going Oriental until her

Ramon Novarro.

brother arrives and the son of India realizes a teaching of his father. And Madge Evans gave me no thrill. In fact she didn’t hold my interest. And the scenes devoted to the lion hunt—well, just another movie man’s studio idea. The story as well as the cast left me cold. Be your own judge. If you like this movie idea of India, then that is up to you. Now at the Palace. Other theaters today offer; Mrs. Leslie Carter in “The Shanghai Gesture” at English’s: Blanche Sweet at the Lyric; “White Shoulders” at the Ohio, and burlesque at the Mutual.

MINERS IN FOOD RIOT PROMISED AIDJjHTATE Hunger March Is Staged On Town by Workers in Oklahoma. By United Press HENRYETTA, Okla., July 20— Poverty-stricken miners, who staged a food riot. Saturday rather than watch their wives and children suffer longer from slow starvation, waited stolidly today for the relief promised them by Governor W. H. Murray. Long past the end of their own resources, the miners and oil field workers could do nothing but stand around and wonder what would happen next. They were willing to work, but jobs were not to be had, since mines and wells are closed. Their hope was that Governor Murray could find them work on roads or other emergency public projects. For more than a year, the miners and oil field workers have watched their families reduced to beggary and starvation. For months they tried to get along. When mines and* wells were closed, they took up gardening. Then came the drought. As one by one, the families used up their reserves, threats of riots became frequent. The climax was reached Saturday, when 200 miners marched through the business district, demanding money, food and other supplies from merchants only a little better off than themselves. ' The demonstration was orderly, under the leadership of the Rev. Charles Holmes, nvner and Pentecostal minister. There was no pillaging. The rioters stood in front of the business houses while Holmes told of starving women and children

Spirited Man By United Press EAST BRUNSWICK, N. J., July 20.—locca Umberto, convivially fortified, drove on his w'eek-end auto trip in the manner of a field ambulance during shelling at the cross roads, until he crashed into the automobile of James T. Mathews and the arms of two traffic policemen. “Judge,” he began, “I’m surprised—” “But I’m not,” Recorder W. R. Smith retorted. “You almost got me a half hour ago. "I fine you S2OO for driving while intoxicated and revoke your license for two years.” “O. k. I’m insured. The company will pay. I wouldn’t if I had it.” “No? Three months, then.” “I’ll knock you off when I get out,” Umberto muttered, warmed up to his subject. “Not with an automobile you won’t,” was the law’s last word.

and pleaded for whatever aid cpuld be given them. Their march completed, the men w r ent back to the city hall, where all supplies and money collected was divided among them by committees. NEW COLLEGE BUILDING Industrial Arts Structure Planned for Ball State.

CUSTOMS UNION FIGHTTOHA6UE Austro-German >. Alliance Illegal, French Argue. BY RICHARD D- MTAffILLAX United Press Staff CttreapoaJfffcT PARIS, July 20.—fRfonce carried her fight on the' Austro-Ger-man proposed customs union with Austria to the Hague today where the court of international justice is to render an opinion on the projected “anschluss.” Joseph Paul-BoncourHiead of the French delegation to the Hague to carry the appeal against the union, was confident he would prove the project is not in accord with Austria’s obligations and undertakings to the League of Nations. The French contend, therefore, it is illegal. The French were believed likely to oppose any general discussion of alliances, unless of an economic order. Paul-Boncour will point out. it was understood, that the issue before the World court is concerned solely with the Austro-German agreement. Attempts to raise other issues, he will claim, are out of order.
