He was mighty proud of his record and risked death time after time rather than lose it. Then Tuesday the long record was broken in a fight with a negro burglar, who is in a critical condition at Jackson Memorial hospital with bullet wounds in his neck and chest. The negro said his name was Willie McElroy. The policeman was pounding his beat through the black belt when Will Taylor, negro, rushed up and told him that his room at 126 N. W. Twelfth street had been burglarised and a portable phono graph stolen. Albury and the negro was hunt ing for the burglar when they heard music as they passed a cafe on N. W. Second avenue near Eleventh street. They went in. They found McElroy playing Tay lor’s phonograph. "You're under. the po liceman began. McElroy yelled. He whipped out a pistol. Albury rushed toward him. Not even then, with the negro's gun leveled at his head, (lid the polHomin lire, Bystanders said that if Taylor hadn’t jerked the burglar’s pistol away, the po liceman would bo dead now. McElroy knocked Taylor aside; rushed out the back door to a pool room. At the entrance of the pool room the policeman and Taylor seized him. McElroy struggled while the policeman tried to hand cuff him. He tore one arm free and jerked the policeman’s gun from the holster, fighting for the gun, Albury pulled the trigger. The negro crumpled up, probably fatally wounded. Tuesday afternoon Albury was back on his beat, pounding along the pavement as he has since 1915. Hi fore then he served in Key West. "I’m 56 now and I’ve.worn th’ blue for 21 years,” he said, "I never pulled my trigger before to shoot anybody. Somehow, I al ways managed to get along with out that.” His brother officers told how he disarmed a naval officer who went li>co in the black belt during the war and tried to shoot up the town. He was succeeding when Albury walked toward him and took the gun away without even drawing his own pistol. They told how the officer went bark to his boat and got another gun and how he began firing at Sergt. Charles Johnsou and Sorgt. Finch Cochran on Flagler street. With the bullets sizzling close to bis ears, Albury walked empty handed to the gunman and dis armed him. More tales they told; tales of fights and had men and of nights when a young patrolman down in Ky West “fought ankle deep in blood again: t about a dozen *pilV without evfr flashing his gat.” TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Cleveland Niles stated in the columns of the “Citiren” yesterday, *’l deeply regret that my offer to Mrs. Roland Curry wa. inferentially refused by her.** her the information of the public I l*jmhb BW^RH Twelve passengers were h urt when an express train on the Chicago Northwestern Rail way split a switch at Wilmette, 111,, near Chicago, and crashed into a freight tram on a siding.

SUPREME COURT MAKES DECISION IN LAND DEED

CHIEF JUSTICE BROWN RENDERS OPINION IN LITI GATION ENTERED IN MADI SON COUNTY (By Awofintril Pr*l TALLAHASSEE. May 26.—The state supreme court held today that under certain circumstances deeds to property do not have to be actually delivered prior to death to make them valid. The opinion by Chief Justice Brcwn was in the case of T. L. Smith et nl. vs. W. T. Woens, ap pealed from the circuit court for Madison county. It affirmed the decision of the lower court. Owen’s father, prior to the death of the latter, requested a servant to give to his son a deed to property, kept in a tin box on the mantel. Litigation, testing the right of W. T. Owens to claim the property because the deed had not been actually delivered by the deceased, as provided by law, then ensued. Split Switch—Wreck—l2 People Hurt NEWS CONVEYED IN AS SOCIATED PRESS DIS PATCHES RECEIVED BY THE CITIZEN

News v/as conveyed in As sociated Press dispatches re ceived today by The Citi zen from New York furnish ing information relative to the tiling of the will of the late W. E. D. Stokes Sr., mil lionaire hotel owner, who died on May 19. According to the pro visions of the will, the entire estate of the deceased goes to his son, W. E. D. Stokes, Jr., who was married in Key West a short time ago to Miss Florence Crittenton. Mr. Stokes, Sr., the great financier, had been long in the public eye because of the sensational divorce proceed ings brought against him by his wife, Helen Stokes, the history of his I—~ .having been chiefly the his tory of his litigation, both and civil, which ;natural!y kept him almost wntant!y i&Jhe "fi {trJ the limelight. His first marriage was in 1895 to Rita Hernandez de Alba Acosta, daughter of a wealthy Cuban family, who was described to have been the mdst nearly perfectly beautiful woman in the

world. They had one child, W. E. D. sioke, Jr., and in 1900 she divorced h m se cretly alleging infidelity. In 1911 Stokes married Miss Helen Elwood, of Den ver, Col. She was 22 years eld, while the hotel man gave his age as “over 45 years old.” I’wo children were born to them. An approximate amount of the entire estate which goes to young Stokes, who is now spending his honey moon in New York, is over $7,000,009. Mr. and Mrs. Stokes, Jr., are now making prepara tions to make an extensive tour of European points, and expect to remain abroad for a period of s'x months, after which they will return to this country, taking up their esi dcnce in Lennox, Mass.

For 47 Years Devoted to the Interests of Key West PRICE FIVE CENTS LEGALITY OF ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED BY SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE (Bjr Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 26.—The controversy raging over President Coolidge’s order authorizing ex tension of federr.l authority to state, county and city police of ficers working on prohibition cases had advanced today to the poiot where its legality will be investi gated by the senate judiciary com mittee. In addition, unless it is revoked within a few days. Representa tive Hill, Republican, Maryland, wet leader in the house plans to call up his resolution, introduced yesterday to probihit employment of federal officers by states or state officers by the federal gov ernment. The senate inquiry, to be conducted under a resolution by Senator King, Democrat, Utah, will have as its purpose the ascer taining of the legal status of the order "to enable the state to de termine whether legislation is ad visable or necessary’’ in connec tion with the enforcement policy it embodies. Meanwhile, those op posed to the order are awaiting with considerable interest to see whether any definite action will follow the white house pronounce ment that, while the president did not regard it as an invasion of state rights nor as inconsistent with the national enforcement policy, he was willing to modify it if its operation threatened to lead to harmful consequences. This latest center of the wet and dry storm had it3 origin in California, and apparently is still whirling there although its main force seems to be over Washing ton. It was suggested by Ned Green, prohibition administrator at San Francisco, and its pro mulgation was recommended by Assistant Secretary Andrews with a viesv to its application primarily in certain counties of that state. In order to carry out the orig inal intent, Colonel Green v*as to confer the federal authority au thorized upon fourteen deputy sheriffs in th territory under Its jurisdiction, while Robert Kirth, administrator at Los Angeles, planned to qdd thre." to its force.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1926. MONROE TODAY Radio-Movie Arrives With “Mad Dancer” It is difficult enough to devise n iHtveity for either radio or mo tion pictures these days, but when a man can think of some thing new that combines both of them, there is something ap proaching genius about him. The man who did have the bright thought and who put it into operation is Herman F. Jans, pru dent of Jans Productions, and th combination was effected while screening his latest p tore, “The Mad Dancer,” at Tec-Ait Studio in New York. For the first time in the history of either movies or radio, a scene from the picture was broadcast by Station VVJZ, which ran its wires into the studio while Burton King, the director, was putting on a se quence showing a big society party. Listeners-in over the radio got a verbal description of v;hat it was all about, and then heard just exactly how a director goes about his work. The familiar studio cries of “Lights!” “Camera!” and so on filled the air over half the coun try. Mr. King was heard shouting lia commands to Anil Pennington, Johnnie Walker and the other leading players in the production; directing the big assemblage of “extras” to circulate as at any fashionable gathering; putting life, vivacity and realism into the scene, while the camera clicked on. And then, the Vincent Lopez jazz band, which appears in the picture, broke in for the dance mu. ic, while Mr. King kept up his i urrning fire of orders that car ried along with the music over the radio. It was an innovation that made wonderful entertainment for the radio fans, and it proved that the making of motion pictures can be successfully broadcast. Incidentally the production of “The Mad Dancer,” which will be; shown at the Monroe Theatre to day, is the first in which Vin cent Lopez and his band have ap peared in motion pictures. The production also marks the first rerioue effort of Ann Pennington, who has been the dancing star of the Ziegfeld Follies for years, as a Screen star. There is no other actress so well equipped as Miss Pennington to play “The Mad Dancer.” and her acting has been de scribed as chic, fascinating and alluring. Johnn’i Walker, playing oppo eit her, shows on the screen something that has long been known in his private life, and that is that Johnnie is generally re garded as the best dressed man in New York. Since “Over the Hill,” he has generally played on the screen in rags; in “The Mad Dan cer” he is the glass of fashion. TOMORROW Screen Fans Loyal, Finds Charles Ray “No one in the world is so loyal as the screen fan.” This is the rather touching state men t of Charles ltay, screen Mar, who pays a heartfelt tribute to pkiurtfoers, far and v neur, who have proved his friends in time of adversity. “Many people are under the impression that the public is dis loyal to screen players,” he says, TWO HOMES MOPE HAPPY By Women Who Used Lydia E. Pinkham’t Vegetable Compound "T hare taken Lydia R Pinkh&m** Testable Compound and I think It is the most won- Hderful medicine I ever tried,” is the statement made by Mrs. Goldie Shoup of May View.
