Wart- man, of Phoenix, Arisons, will be shocked to hear of his sudden pass- ing in the early morning of Dec. 8rd, 1924, of heart trouble. The event was altogether unexpected, he having been apparently in the best of health. He was the youngest and last surviving son of the late Charles H. Wartman, Colebrook, his brothers, Wilbur F., and Frank S., having predeceased him in 1918 and 1920. . Going as a young man to Arizona, he was one of the builders of that new country ajd one of the foremost citizens of Phoenix. He never forgot the land of his birth, and his heart turned fondly to thé old times, old friends, and old. scenes of his youthful days. He was an enthusiastic member of the Masonic Order, a noble of the Mystic Shrine, and it may be sald that, in his daily lite, he ever fol- lowed the high ideals of truth and Christian charity for which the order stands. A kind and thought- nl husband and father, he will be sorely missed by his gorrowing wi- dow and two sons, Frank S., of the Arizona Bureau of Chemical Fe- search, and Charles H., who left university last summer to go into business with his father. He is sur- vived 'by one sister, Mrs. J.

CHILDLESS MARRIAGE LAW INPRACTICABLE Many Young Women Marry for Jewelry and Furs and Oontinue Working. Omaha, Neb., Dec. 13.--A bill favoring the revocation of marriages in cases of deliberate avoidance of parenthood after two years of mar- riage, proposed by Dr. A. 8. Pinto, city health commissioner, yesterday brought statements from medical men and theologians that the plan was "rddical and never could be a law." Persons favoring the proposal also doubted whether it could be framed into legislation, Dr. Pinto, in explaining his plan, declared that "marriages can be re- voked in such cases merely by pas- sage of a law." He sald that ex- ALLIES TAXI SERVICE Phone 240 To all of the city 2 (outer included.

The Presbyterian Church To Continue in Pembroke Pembroke, Dec. 13.--At a meet- ing of the executive committee of the local Presbyterian Church Asso- elation a decision was reached that the Presbyterian church will con- tinue in Pembroke, The commit tee has been assurred of the support of a large proportion of the mem- bers and adherents and cordial fin- to state exactly how many will re- main Presbyterian, the number is so large as to remove all doubt in this matter.

"Torbidden Paradise," which opens et the Capitol Theatre, Mon- | day, tor three days, brings Pola to the screen in the first American- made production by this greatest of all European directors. The story is a romantic drama of a small Balkan kingdom. Pcla has the role of the Czarina, a wouan of many loves; Rod La Rocque is a soldier in her army at the front and Adolphe Menjou plays to perfection the role of court chancellor. Pauline Starke, who completes the featured players, is first lady-in-waiting to the queen, in love with La Rocque, as Alexel. The production is an adaptation of the stage play, "The Czarina," a tale of regal romance and intrigue, with the star in her greatest role-- by far. Lubitsch has developed tremend- ously since the early days in Europe when his genius was only feeling its way along. There 's in his methods to-day a sweep and a sureness which were not present then. In "For- bidden Paradise' he is vastly super- for to the youthful Lubitsch who startled the world with "Passion." Pola, too, has developed. As a queen she is superb. La Rocque, Menjou and Miss Starke are all jdeally cast. All in all, "Forbidden Paradise" offers entertainment for everyone, It has gripping "drama, heart-appeal, genuine humor---a ploture that's bound to please. GREAT ENGLISH TURF MELODRAMA AT STRAND "Come On Loving Cup," the great melodrama of English turf, will be shown at the Strand Theatre today. All the thrills of the great Derby races, plus a knock-out story, and great acting by Violet Hopson the famous English actress, go to make "Come On Loving Cup" ul- usual entertainment. ( QIRL'S NARROW ESCAPE ON PRINCESS STREET Ran Direotly in Front of Auto= moblie--Escaped With a Few Bruises. Quick presence of mind on the part of the driver and not a little luck was all that averted a most .serjous if not fatal motor accident on Princess street Friday afternoon shortly aftér four o'clock. Anple Whitehead of 42 Johnston street, a girl of about eleven, was returning from school down the south side of Princess street with her books un- der her arm and when about at Laidlaw's suddenly took the notion to cross the street. It happened that Mr. C. Anglin poing down the street in his car suddenly raw a child step out directly in his path at a dis tance of only a few feet. The sud- den application of the emergency ' prake made the car skid as it struck her down, and jhe machine contifiu- ed to pivot after she had disanvear- od beneath the wheels. The relief of the driver can be imagined when he lifted the child: out from between the wheels of his car and found her practieally unhurt.

A AAP AANA TO PUT IN VAULT, T0 KILL KRASSIN French Police Arrested Her With Revolver in Front of Russian Embassy. Paris, Dec. 13.--An attempt to assassinate Leonid Krassin, the new Soviet envoy to France, by a Wo- man eager to avenge the killing of her brother by the Bolsheviki, was declared by the French police today to have been averted by their ar- rest of the woman, carrying a re- volver in front of the Russian em- bassy late Thursday. The woman, Russian born, gave her name as Marie Ergeweuwa, tak- ing the name of Dickson by mar- riage in 1917 to a New Yorker, who has since died. Before her arrest she told plainclothesmen who saw her loitering before the embassy building that she had come to Paris for the special purpose of killing Krassin. The woman had been standing in front of the building for hours when the detectives began questioning ; her. When she confided her pur- | pose to them they at once arrested , her and lodged her in the St. La- zare prison. Besides the revolver she had 42 cartridges in her posses- sion, and she will be prosecuted on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, it was stated. She has been in Paris about a month and described herself as a literary wo- man. The police kept the fact of her arrest secret until late yesterday. in force In Kingston Township Hall For Care of Documents.
