Inc. Army Captain Missing; Funds Short, Report Fort Omaha Authorities Are Checking Company Cash— Wife Says His Mind Is Affected. Capt. Samuel S. Wolfe, 81, com manding officer of Company L, 17th infantry at Fort Omaha, dropped out of sight a week ago. Officer* in charge of the Seventh Army Corps area are conduct ing an Investigation into the captain's company fund, which is said to be short. Captain Wolfe had an honorable record, according to other officers. He rose to his present rank from a private. His home is In North Caro lina. Mrs. Wolfe, wife of the captain, denied that her husband's financial difficulties caused him to leave. ■'Something was wrong with ,his - mind,” she said. ‘‘I expect to hear “ from him any day.” According to Col. A. H. Eaton, chief of staff. Captain Wolfe was recom mended for transfer to a signal school in New Jersey. Whether arrest of Captain Wolf* was expected, Colonel Eaton would not say until the in vestigation Is completed. Charges of Desertion. “If an Investigation shows that a complaint should be filed,” said Col onel Eaton, then we will start to hunt for Captain Wolfe, who at the same time will be classed as a de serter. "It will b* up to the Department of JusUc* agents to run him down, aa the army has not the machinery to apprehend men. I am at a loss to understand why men like Captain Wolfe and Henry F. Taylor, warrant officer now under-ar rest In Los Angeles, do the things that they are accused of for such small amounts of money,” said Colonel Eaton who stated that Captain Wolfe could not have absconded with more than $200.

Talking about Bueter and the way he upends his money, that $7,000 boat wasn't the most expensive laugh he ever had. This new picture of his, named "Hospitality” or something like that, has an old-fashioned train in It. They looked all around to find a train that would fill the bill, but there weren’t any; so they built ohe. The train ambles along about 800 feet of film, and it cost $20,000 in cold slmoleons. There was a gag in "Three Ages” where a bird throws a rock at Bus ter, and Buster cracks it with a club and knocks it back into the bird's face. It looked easy in the picture, but the fact is they shot it 76 times, and it took three days to get it. And In all that time Buster only socked the rock right once, .vnd that was the one that was in the picture. And an accountant that we know loaned Buster his 3-year-old automo bile for a gag and It got smashed and Buster bought him a new one. The old one was worth about $400; the new one cost $2,000. Just a few things to think about when you see some of these gags. How Do They Do Ilf Just to show you how this bird Rush Hughes Is stepping along in the world, he gave a party down with the rest of the cocoanuts the other night to celebrate his dance contest victory. And there were a lot of folks at Rush's party. including Eleanor Boardman and Mae Murray and Bob Leonard, her husband, and others. And just to show how doggone Im partial and friendly this movie gang Is, Rush danced all night long with Mae Murray, and Mae's husband danced all night long with Eleanor Boardman, and a good time was had by all.
