Garfield Hays, law partner of S. Walter Kaufman, and Norvin R. Lindhelm, codefendents with Dr. Rumely, charged , with concealing alleged German ownership of the paper during part of the war. The Evening Mail, the witness continued, was then losing about $1,000 a day and $540,000 in bonds were to mature within a few weeks. "I thought this was a fine thing to do after Rumely had been loaned approximately $1,400,000 by Herman Sielcken," who advanced the funds while living in Germany, he said. Mr. Hays testified that at that time Dr. Rumely explained that if the stock were released to him he would give his "absolute note" for $100,000 due in two years without Interest. The $1,400,000 loaned by Sielcken, it was testified, consisted of an advance of $750,000 in June. 1915, and subsequently smaller ones until September, 1917. Albert A. Hon, who was employed as messenger between Dr. Heinrich Albert, head of the German fiscal agency, ibid JDr. Peuhr, publicity director here for the German government, testified that he was paid about $10 each for letters he showed "British consulate emissaries at the offices of the English secret service in the Whitehall building." He added that the Germans knew of this, as he "told Dr. Feuhr about It soon after they started deals with me." Declare Approach. Hoff declared he "was approached by British secret service agents on many occasions." Some letters he bore were photographed by the- British Hoff said. Once he was called on the telephone by the British agents, he said, and an appointment msde. He paid his dealings were with "Commander A. T. Backwell, British naval attache: Capt. Grant and M. Shepard, British vice consul." Counsel for Kaufman and Llndheim called Hoff to the stand to "show why transactions between Dr. Albert and Dr. Feuhr called for a "go-between." Walter Lyons served as "go-between" for Kaufman and Dr. Albert in the loans made on Evening Mail stock, It was stated. A deposition submitted as testimony bv Dr. Albert told of conversations he had with Dr. Rumely regarding an exclusive wireless news service from Germany. The publisher, the deposition said, made known a desire to send a seasoned newspaper man to Germany. This man would have had charge of filing news by wireless for America. Dr. Rumely said he wanted to place the Irue German situation before the American public and thousht this was the only means as all other sources of communication with Germany had been cut off. he added. After Dr. Rumely was convinced the German government censorship would make such a news service impossible. Dr. Albert said, the matter was drocped. Dr. Albert denied he had urged organization of a corporation to purchase American newspapers with German money. Farm Sale Calendar Tuesday, Dec. 7, 1920, 10 O'clock James F.

Dyspeptics, they call themselves, but they stretch the imagination when they do it. All these people need to make them healthy, cheerful and of sound appetite is a box of Mi-O-Na Tablets. The stomach of a dyspeptic is overworked and run down. It needs help to digest the food, but more than that it needs a prescription that will cleanse, renovate, strengthen and put elasticity into the stomach walls. Mi-O-Na is the prescription that will do this and do it so promptly that you'll wonder why you didn't try It before. It stops belching of gas and distress after eating in five minutes. It is undoubtedly the greatest Btomach tonic ever given to the public by a specialist in stomach diseases. D. & S. Drug C. and A. G.

Stage settings of unusual beauty are assured in any photoplay bearing Cecil B. De Mille's name and "Something To Think About," the Paramount picture which is now showing at the Washington Theatre, easily reaches the high standard set by previous DeMille productions. But "Something To Think About" has, in addition to several stage settings of remarkable beauty, some of the most realistic backgrounds of a humbler sort ever seen in a motion picture production. The story offers a great opportunity for contrast and due advantage has been taken of every opportunity. In this production, has been supplied a humble blacksmith's home, his work shop and the poverty-stricken apartment wherein some of the most important action of the story transpires. Against this background Cecil B. DeMille placed a home of exquisite beauty. By thus contrasting the two surroundings, they have emphasized the realism of one and the artistic perfection of the other. Notable examples of this decorative lavishness are to be found in the Oriental living room, library and music room which comprises one portion of the residence in question. Another striking sample of the ultramodern influence in interior decoration is in the dining room of the same HAVE COLOR IN CHEKS Be Better Looking Take Olive Tablets If your skin is yellow complexion pallid tongue coated appetite pooryou have a bad taste in your mouth a lazy, no-good feeling you should take Olive Tablets.

Hampton's powerful photodrama of the Winston Churchill novel, "The Dwelling Place of Light," there are tenement children enough ; shown to start several orphanages.

alt hough he might have been awed, as were some of the actors, at the visual demonstration of how Greek and Italian and Russian this country was becoming, with the children of these families outnumbering Americans ten to one! In addition to the Los Angeles tenement recruits some talented child actors and actresses were used in these scenes, bringing a touch of real life sensation into the powerful drama of the story. MURRETTE. With the price of screen rights to stage plays and books mounting to astonishing figures, there has been much discussion pro and con. as to the Judgment exercised by producers in the selection ef material for adaptation to motion pictures. One producer recently paid $175,000 for a popular play. and another is understood to he held for the astounding figure of $500,000. Many novels are held at $50,000. "They are not worth it if the bookStall or stage reputation Is their chief factor as an asset " says Lloyd Ingraham, one of the most prominent of films directors, who recently directed Mildred Harris Chaplin in a new First National picture, "Old Dad," which is now playing at the Murrette Theatre. Continuing he said "It isn't the reputation before reach ing the screen that counts most. It is the quality of the work that is done upon them in the studio. The reputation of a story or a play can help of course, but it will be of no avail if the final production is inferior. "Audiences have come to know that the celebrity of a story or stage play, and sometimes even the name of a famous actress, is not a guarantee of the worth of a screen production.

that It is one of the meet pretentions "strong man' acts that Jiaa eTer appeared on the local stage to our knowledge. The headliner "Louis Hart-and company" offers a variety of novelty acrobatic feats in a skit "As In a Dream." Fox example, Louis Hart holds a man much larger than himself on his outstretched leg. Assaying a more difficult feat, he supports five men upon his body stretched in a horizontal position between two stools. Mr. Hart also offers a number of artistic poses that meet with splendid favor. He ends this exhibition with an exhibition of muscular development that is truly extraordinary. Miller and Griffith open the bill in a

comedy act. "The Teller." The act revolves around the dialogue between a bank cashier and one of his lady depositors. But we hare forgotten to give Harmon his due share of credit. Harmon is everything that press notices said l.e was. He is billed as a "Violin Virtuoso" and presents a varied program of popular and classic numbers. Harmon wins as much favor from the audience as the headliner but we have had so many violin players In our vaudeville bills recently that our heads are just a bit groggy with notes from the resined strings.

One girl strives tto lift this act out of the mediocre class by her impersonations of Harry Lauder. With better support her act. would be a comer. Of course she isn't supposed to be a star, but she is. The other girl in the act, who does not show any evidence of dieting, gets a big laugh from the audience with. her exhibition of a country lass's attire.
