Charges Piefened Against Patrolman Alleging "conduct unbecoming an officer,” a charge has been filed by Sergeant W. H. Pitts of the police department, against Patrolman Mal colm. The executive board will in vestigate the allegation tonight at a special meeting. Officer Malcolm is yet on duty, there being no reason for his suspension until a most thor ough investigation can be made. Behind the little statement "con duct unbecoming an officer” lies an accusation that is not fit to print. With tears in his eyes Patrolman Malcolm indignantly denied the charge made against him and offers court records as a vindication of cir cumstances that might have led to suspicion. In police circles the question Is one that has stirred every man. Of ficer Malcolmn is an officer who has many friends and they are standing by him in the allegations that are made against him.

AMUSEMENTS ‘‘The Shadow of the Cross.” Daily, since Monday when “The Shadow of the Cross” was first exhib ited at the Academy 6f Music the crowds who have been there to see it have grown steadily larger until now there is always in attendance a good crowd of people to witness this mar vel of the painter’s skill. This picture was secured for exhibi tion purposes for this week as the manager thought it would make an ex cellent Holy Week offering. That his idea was a good one is shown by the appreciative crowds who gather in the playhouse and gaze in wonder at the seemingly supernatural painting. As a painting of the Christ, this work has few equals, and as a marvelous shad ow picture it is the greatest picture ever shown. Wherever it has been seen, and it has to be seen to be ap preciated, it has instantly aroused the curiosity of the artistically inclined and caused comment among the paint ers. It has been tested and analyzed by reliable authorities and there has been found nothing about the picture that would not occur on the ordinary canvas, yet with the lights out the cross can be distinctly seen. The pic ture is well worth seeing and few will let the opoprtunity pass.
