Snow Shovelers Diwy ?
Booze Thrown From Auto
Bangor, Me., Feb. 29. A crew of
snow shovelers working: on the line
of the Maine Central between Ban
gor and Northern Maine Junction
had the thrill that comes once in a
lifetime when a large automobile
passed by and someone threw a sack
out into the snow.
. The shovelers found that the sack
contained 21 quarts .of Canadian
whisky, which was distributed
among members of the crew.
It was learned later that the auto
mobile had started for Bangor with
the whisky, but had covered only a
short distance When another ma
chine advancing at a rapid rate, ap
peared behind it The whisky smug
glers, fearing the second machine
held deputy sheriffs, then threw the
whisky into the drift near the
shovelers. The second machine held
only two commercial travelers, who
knew nothing concerning the valu
able cargo of the car ahead.

ROME MILLER
Pull of Long Friendship Too
Strong for Him to Leave.
So Will Retain
v Hptel.
.. " ' '
The pull f personal frihidships,
wide acquaintance and a desire to
maintain active business connections
in Omaha proved stronger than his
determination to retire from busi
ness cares, said Rome Miller, pro
prietor of the -Hotel Rome, yester
day in explaining the cancellation of
a contract whereby the Miller Hotel
company of Davenport and Des
Moines, la., was to acquire a lease
for the hotel. 1
"About the time a business man
thinks he ought to retire he finds
he. can't," Mr. Miller said. "I've
been in Omaha so long and have so
many friends and have become so
Closely identified with the Hotel
Rome that when it comes to j
showdown I find I can't step out.
I want to maintain my connection
with Omaha business and my asso
ciations with the men i have known
so long." '
Mr. Miller announced a short
time ago thtt arrangements had
been completed for the Miller Hotel
company, with which he has no
connection, he explained, to lease
the building and operate the hotel.
According to both parties, a con
siderable sum of money was part of
the consideration by which Mr.
Miller was released from the con
tract. The amount was not divulged.
The transaction was completed with
the best of feeling on the part of all
concerned, according to Mr. Miller
and W.' J. Miller, president of the
Iowa company. v
Air Wilier has been in tue hotel
business or allied activities in Ne
braska for 38 years, he exnlaincd
yesterday, and has been located on
the northeast corner of Sixteenth
and Jackson streets, where the
Rome stands, since 1899. He came
to Omaha the previous year. His
first business, ventures ih the state.
and which he developed and
operated for several years, were rail
road eating houses.
Air. Miller plans fo leave for his
Los Argeles residence March 11. as
soon as the Auto Show is ove-. His
family is there now and he will re-
mam n that city for several weeks.

THE revelation of faith in the
hereafter is the central object
in "The Greatest Question." D.
W. Griffith's latest production offered
movie fans - at the Rialto theater
the first four days of the week,
and 4vhich had its initial showing
to an Omaha audience Sunday. Just
as many a mother's prayers have
apparently been . offered in vain,
'The Greatest Question," shows how
the sole support of a family answers
his last call in the world war. All
the invocations to a merciful God
offered by an earnest mother seem
to have beeu mocked by the cruel
death met by her son. And then,
the stroke of the genius is seen. A
realization, astounding and bewilder
ing, comes to the mother ana tne
audience.

This is the unusual theme" of "The
Beloved Cheater," , starring Lew
Cody, and offered movie theater
natrons this week at the Moon.
Bruce Sands fLew Cody) is the
idol of the "deadlier sex." the sort
with whom men make friends in
self-defense or at the dictation of
their wives. Then there is "the
girl" who becomes engaged without
changing ner weas against masm

The real romance of the girl's life
commences when, she is kissed and
she discovers that it was not her
fiance who kissed her.
Strand Robbed of everything and
forced to wander around a desert
in a pair of silk pajamas is enough
to freeze even the naray mm star,
who is supposed to be used to any
thin. That is Wallace Reid's ex
perience at the start of his latest
nhntonlav. "Double Soeed." which
five-dav run at the Strand
theater Sundav. It all haooens when
Wallie. as "Soeed" Carr is tak
ing a joyride in an auto from
New York to Los Angeles. Pitching
his tent for the night in the western
"bad lands," he is "frisked" by two
robber gentry and in the morning
finds himself without respectable
clothes, funds or machine. A friend
ly sojourner in a Ford picks him up
and lands him into the most amus
ing and strange set of adventures
ever. . "
The management of the Strand
offer in conjunction with the above
nicture. "SDeed." a short comedy
starring At St. John. As a messenger
boy called "bpeed," ne delivers a
gown to the daughter of the wealthy
Gottawads, where his sweetheart is
employed as a maid, and causes side
splitting situations when he is
chased through the house by the
irate father. ,
SunAs the central figure in the
motion picture production of Sir
Gilbert Parker's "The Right of
Way," showing at the Sun theater
this week, Bert Lytell scores one of
the most dramatic achievements of
his lonjr career. An unusual part,
that of Charley Steele, the dashing
young attorney in Montreal cyni
cal, dissolute, undeniably winning,
yet astoundingly supercilious. That
Mr. Lytell should have portrayed it
adequately would have been enough;
that he did it splendidly means he
is to be ranked among the foremost
stars of the screen. In translating
to films this remarkable novel, June
Mathis has displayed a genuine un
derstanding of both 'the original
viewpoint of the author and of dra
matic values, and vthe finish of the
production
Maxwell
speaks for the work of
Karger, as the personal
supervising director. Jack Dillon's
direction is as meritorious as the
photographic effects of Robert
Kurrle.
Muse "Poor Relations" aren't al
ways the most cultured and refined
persons in the world. In fact,
they're sometimes 'Vulgar." But
"the world of man seems content to
mistake the form lor the spirit," and
we are all inclined to judge people
by, externals. "Poor Relations" is
a photo-drama of human values
showing at the Muse today and
Tuesday, and pne which shows that
good breeding is more a matter of
kindliness of heart than superficial
polish.
