POWERFUL, TENSE DRAMA AT UNITED A ship captain and trader as "hard-boiled" as they're made. A French girl, married suddenly to a crook and carried away by an incognant father to the South Seas. A scoundrel low enough to steal from the man who has saved him from death, and then nervy enough to come back and ask that man for a job! These three chief characters, many more character typical of the South Seas, all the romance and the wonder of the tropes, and the fine elements of a story that comes from master pens will be seen in "The Altar Stairs," starring Frank Mayo, which comes to the United Theatre Wednesday and Thursday, in conjunction with Hop Lee, the world's greatest Chinese Magician, comedian and myriotler, who promises to keep you all in a roar of laughter and wonder during his entire 30 minute act. He comes direct from Grauman's Los Angeles theatre where he made an instantaneous hit. Watch "or his appearance on the streets of Anaheim tomorrow. He's a whiz and you don't want to miss his great act.

CHARGE WASTE IN VETERANS' BUREAU BY WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—A trail of waste, extravagance and inefficiency marred the care given Americans' disabled soldiers by the U. S. Veterans' Bureau during 1922, according to evidence submitted today to a special senate investigating committee. The senatorial investigation was resumed with the director, Brigadier General Frank T. Hines, testifying to acts of alleged waste and mismanagement under the rule of his predecessor, Colonel Forbes. Both Hines and Major General O. P. O'Ryan, special investigator, have hinted at "sensational evidence" later. A touch of drama was given the session today by the presence of Forbes, a decidedly sick man, who is unable to walk without a cane. The former director, against whose management most of the testimony is directed, was waiting to "tell his side of the story". He too has promised a sensation when he takes the witness stand. His defense will include the publication of a dozen letters written him while director by the late President Harding and which are said to endorse his administration of the veterans' bureau. Although Forbes is practically "on trial," the committee ruled he could no interrogate witnesses, but would have to take the stand in his own defense. Friends of the former director, as a result, are charging he is to be made the "goat" of the investigation. Under examination by O'Ryan, Dr. Hines today continued to unfold a story of extraragances, and protracted "red tape" in the care of disabled veterans. To date, this evidence revealed specific instances in the use of telephone, telegrams and government transportation by bureau employees. Hines told of reducing long-distance telephone charges alone.

SCOTLAND FACING ST. LOIHS, Oct. 23.—One of the greatest man hunts in the history of St. Louis county was under way today for the bandits who, early this morning, held up the patrons of the Plantation Inn, at Wellston, a suburb, and when resisted, shot and killed Richard Grant and his wife Rose, both of Chicago, and fatally wounded Wilbur Stalneker.

To date, this evidence revealed specific instances in the use of telephone, telegrams and government transportation by bureau employees. Hines told of reducing long-distance telephone charges alone from $500 in January to $25 in August. Another instance was the purchase by the bureau of "enough polishing oil to last 100 years." This charge made by Senator Reed, republican, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee, was affirmed by Hines. Reed also demanded a report on "over-employment" in the sixth, ninth and thirteenth hospitalization districts, with headquarters respectively in New Orleans, St. Louis and Seattle. In soldiers' hospitals in these three districts, evidence indicated, there are more bureau employees than patients. INFANT BURNED CEDAR'RAPIDS, Oct. 23. — The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. N. S.

SCOTLAND FACING BATTLE ON BOOZE GLASGOW, Oct. 22. — Scotland will witness a bitter liquor fight between now and the end of the year. "Wets" and "drys" have already put their forces in battle array, and are sparing neither money nor effort in an endeavor to win. In a similar fight three years ago the prohibitionists were defeated. On this occasion they are hopeful of success, and this is making their adversaries work all the harder. The struggle takes place under the auspices of the Scottish temperance act. This provides that if the sanction of 10 per cent of the electorate is secured the town clerk of the district is bound to institute a poll which will decide whether the locality favors: (1) complete prohibition; (2) modified sale of drink; (3) unrestricted powers to saloons to sell liquor. In 1920, polling took place in 214 districts. Of these 868 were country districts; in 301 of which there were already no licenses to sell liquor, under restrictions imposed by estate proprietors and for other reasons. There were left 561 districts in which polling was possible, and in 261 districts polling took place. In the town area 311 out of a total of 346 had polls. Thus there was voting in 572 areas throughout Scotland. In the towns 28 districts voted "no saloons," 26 were for limitation, and the remainder for "no change." In the country districts 14 were for "no saloons," nine for limitation and 328 for "no change." The result was that about 450 saloons were liable to extinction. By appeals to the courts, however, these figures were subsequently considerably reduced. CLEVELAND'S NEW PLAN FOR VOTING CLEVELAND, Oct. 23. — Voting in Cleveland in November, when the new city council is elected under the "proportional representation" plan invented by a genius named Hare, who hailed from the Antipodes, will be only a matter of simple arithmetic, but the counting of the ballots will require a little bit of algebra, some plane and solid geometry and perhaps calculus and astronomy.

At least that is the way one is impressed with the explanations now being made in "voter's schools" conducted by the Civic league, and designed to show the voters of the city how the new plan of choosing a city council, which in turn will elect a city manager, will operate. MAY TAKE TIME TO LOCATE BODY OF TUT LONDON, Oct. 16.—Two or three more winters' work will be necessary before the body of Tut-ankh-Amen is revealed, according to Howard Carter, co-discoverer of the famous tomb with Lord Carnarvon. "The coming winter will be devoted to dismantling the great shrines within the sepulchre," said Carter in an interview, "but task of dealing with the ante-chamber and the sepulchral and inner chambers as a wee would at least take two or three seasons." Carter is of the opinion that the tomb probably represented that of a nobleman of the period ratner than a youth of royal blood.
