The horses seen In the great race at the rodeo are valued at $200,000. And Tod Sloan, most famous of American jockeys, is again seén in the saddle. He is defeated by Claire Adams, who rides Wildfire, But her winning of the race inflames the vil- | lain, Cordts, played by Harry L. Van Meter, to seek a hold over her father to prevent the latter from driving him out of the country. A half-wit- ted man captures the girl and ties her to the back of Wildfire and frightens the horse into a mad dash for a precipice. She is saved by the timely arrival of the hero, At the Strand. One of the screen stars who has made a distinct impression in King- ston during the present season 13 Bet- ty Compson. Remembered with pleasure for her work in "The Mir- acle Man," Miss Compson made screen appearance at the Strand to- wards the close of 1921 in "At the End of the World." Then in Janu- ary, she captivated all by her inter- pretation of the gypsy lass in Bar- rie's "The Little Minister." Tomor- row the Strand presents "The Green Tempthtion," which many claim to be Betty Compson's finest achieve- ment, This new Paramount picture is an adaptation of Constance Lind ay Skinner's peared in Ainslee's Magazine. this vehicle Miss Compson displays her wonderful powers in portraying 4A coquette whose latent nobility evoked by a world crisis, and a heart crisis in her own life. The story opens in Paris, with realistic scenes of life in the gay capital. Theodore Kosloff, who wins new admirers in Kingston each time he is seen on the screen, is in the strong cast. The sec- ond episode of "The Secret Four," the great Universal serial starring Eddle Polo, is also on the Strand programme.

Dewart's Resolution | Was Defeated by Vote of 42 to 29, ---- Toronto, May 3.--After six weeks | of intermittent discussion, the bud- | get debate wound up in the Ontario Legislature last night. Commencing shortly before 4 o'clock in the after- noon, the three leaders held forth [until a few minutes after 10 at (night, when Pgemier Drury conelud- |ed his speech! The amendment of [H. H. Dewart, K.C., (Southwest To- |ronto), condemning the government | for expending, for sundry purposes, | money borrowed under the Hydro {act, was then defeated by a vote of 142 to 29. The government forces votad solidly against the Dewart amend- iment. From the opposition benches the government had the support on {the issue of Sam Clarke, Liberal | member for Northumberland; J. W. Curry, K.C., Liberal member for Southeast Toronto, and John Joynt, . Conservative member for North Huron. As the oppositionists cast their votes with the government |they were met with a storm of ap- the Treasury | | plause from behind benches. | The Liberal leader, F. Wellington | Hay, did not cast a vote, being pair- |ed with Premier Drury, who had to |eatech a train for Ottawa. W. F. | Nickle, K.C., one of the severest [critics of the government in the de- | bate just concluded, was also a non- | voter, being paired with Hon. F. C. | Biggs, minister of public works. | There were a dozen other pairs, but | none signifying the bolting of a gov- | ernment member. ts ------ AS IMPORTANT T0 WORLD AS THE JUSTINAN CODE The Financial Commisslon's | Report Presented to the Genoa Conference.

Hoopeston, Ill, May 3.--Investi- Gators probing the sensational mur- der of Miss Gertrude Hanna, whose body was found in a Vacant church building have narrowed the search by establishing these alleged facts: The body is perfectly preserved, but the face is mutilated, presumab- ly by acid, which may have been poured over her face before she died. She had been entirely nude before and after death and was dressed be- fore being taken from a hiding place to the basement of the parsonage. Some one bought ice in which to pack the body during almost three weeks after her death to the time her body was removed to the parson- age. The location of this person will do much to solve the mystery. A powdery substance, which may be flour, was clinging to the back of the body and a similar substance was found on her overshoes. This may furnish a clue to the place where she was slain. Evidence increases that the girl fied from the influence of an anaes- thetic administered prior to an un- + Buccessful attempt to perform am op- sration, Better a blush in: the face than a biot in the heart.

There is a marked improvement in the activity of the building trades, and as the season advances there will undoubtedly be an in- crease in the number of dwellings erected this year. Fifty-eight per. mits were issued by the city engineor for the erection of bungalows and other designs of dwellings during the month of April, ealling for an expenditure of $67,437 as compared with $50,609 for the same month in 1921. The total estimated expendi- ture for new work at the end of the month for the season was $84,689, as compared with $77,634 for the same period last year. Since the 1st of May, permits have been issued for one frame bungalow, one brick bungalow, and three sofld brick dwellings. In addition, permits have been issued for numerous alterations and repairs, all of which mean the absorption of considerable labor, fu cluding masons, carpenters, painters and decorators. The high prices of vacant lots are the chief causes for the slow resump- tion of building. Many lines of ma- terials and supplies show consider able reductions In prices, and there is a surplus of labor available. In- deed, contractors are ready to un- dertake two or three jobs, and carry them on simultaneously for those in- tending to build to put their plans into operation.
