"SHEIK” DEAD ‘vX**v Wegdo I;.;.';:.:- RO'JOLPH VALENTINO VALENTI DEAD I FROM OPERATION Original “Sheik” of the Movies, Dies as Result of Complications Follow ing Operation. New York, Aug. 23.— UP) —Rudolph Valentino, original “sheik" of the movies, died today. Death occurred at 12:10 o’clock Eastern daylight time, at the Poly clinic Hospital. The screen star had been .in the hospital for eight days, and although j he at first was reported in a critical condition, improvement had been shown during the latter part of last week, and it was thought he was safely on the road to recovery. Last night, however, he suffered a relapse due to pleurisy which set in in his left chest due to weakness following a double operation for acute appendi citis and gastric ulcers, and accom panying local peritonitis. Valentino came East several weeks ago to attend the Broadway Premiere of his latest picture, and to bid fare well to his brother who was return j ing to his home in Italy after a visit. : He collapsed in his apartment here a ! week ago Sunday afternoon and was ! removed to the hospital where an im mediate operation was decided upon. Cocal peritonitis set in shortly after the operation, and doctors announced that only his rugged constitution could save him from the dread condi tion becoming general, a condition which usually results in death. .They said the crisis would be passed in from 48 to 72 hours. Valentino rallied and Wednesday was reported definitely out of danger, barring further complications. The physicians ceasede the regular issu ance of bulletins regarding his condi tion. The statement that he had de veloped pleurisy follpwed the terse report of a relapse. Thousands of messages or sympathy from personal friends of the actor and “fan" admirers flooded the hos pital throughout his illness. Num bers of persons sought to gain en trance to his suite to wish him good luck iin his fight, but even the best ! friends were barred by tbe special guard set at the door. Aside from S. George Ullnian, his manager, who ac companied him to the hospital no one but the doctors and nurses was ad mitted to the sick room, until la'St night when Joseph Sehenek, head of the United Artists Film Company, was admitted for a brief farewell visit.

Norfolk. Va., Aug. 22. —A north- » oast gale that ranched a velocity of 62 miles an hour swept the Virginia coast this morning shortly before day break, sending shipping scurrying to cover, battering beach resorts and do- . ing considerable damage inland. De spite the strength of the wind and r the rought seas only one distress call « was picked up at sea by wirestells ( stations here. This came from the i Norwegian steamer Modig. off Hog c Island, reporting that all of her steer- s ing gear had been carried away as well as both anchors and that the t ship was w-allowing helplessly in the c trough of the seas with prospects of t being driven ashore. f Boast guard headquarters here dis patched the cutter Manning to the aid of the distressed craft and she was * taken in tow. However, the wind t was so strong the towing ha\yser soon 1 parted and the cutter Mascoutin, an even more powerful vessel than the * Manning, was sent to the Modig. Around 0:30 o’clock the Manning and f Mascoutin had succeeded in getting new lines aboard the freighter, the * former at the bow and the latter at * the stern. Thus, with the Manning * towing and the Mascoutin performing . the difficult task of steering by means of only a stern line it was hoped to get the steamer inside the Virginia crpes without further difficult. i ELEVATOR MAN IS IDENTIFIED f Three Witness Say Lance Rode !

New York, Aug. 23. —(4*) —The cotton market was quiet enough in today’s early trading to suggest that traders generally were waiting for the government report scheduled for publ'cation at midday in the local market.

FIND HIDDEN “ROOM” UNDER NEGRO CEMETERY No One Seems to Know Just How the Room Was Built. (By International rvews Service! Decatur, Ala., Aug. 23—A mysteri ous underground tunnel, discovered by roadworkers on the Moulton highway near here recently, was explored through curiosity by workmen nnd found to lead into a large “room” un der a negro cemetery after winding under the highway from its starting point to a distant patch of woods. The entrance to the strange tunnel was found to be through a vine-cov ered bank in t'lie dense woods. The passage led across a field, under the highway and into a large room-size cave underneath the negro cemetery. I Some think it was, a hiding place i for a band of outlaws many years ago, others say it was used as an effort to frighten negroes at the cemetery burial ceremonies by “strange voices” and cause the cemetery to be moved | while still other declare it is a nat j ural passage, a freakish act of na- I ture. Workmen excavating a route for the new highway down the old road ; way dug into the middle of the tun { nel and explored it. The middle will soon be filled with dirt and work on the highway continued. Curious people from miles "round are now exploring the passage and the ! discovery has caused much speculation ] among workmen, negroes_and other i people in this neighborhood. Whether it’s a natural passage or an artificial cavern is not known and probably never will be. Enters Suit For $45,000,000. New York.

TAKEN BK PIRATES IN DARING ACTION Thirty Pirates Boarded the i River Steamer and Com pel led Crew to Go Where 1 They Directed. PASSENGERS ON VESSEL CAPTURED; Steamer Was Ransacked j and Cargo and Belong ings Carried Off by the Bandits. Hong Kong, Aug. 23.—(4*)—The Chinese River steamer Manning, en route from Malow Chow. Chinese maritime customs station near Macao to Sumn : g, was boarded by 36 pi rates at 10 o’clock last night and the passengers and crew- terrorized and kidnapped. It is believed the passen- 1 gers were wealthy Chine returning to I China from San Francisco. The pirates boarded the ship off i Kaulan Island, otherwise known as. "The Pirates Fortress.” They fired a volley of revolver shots, and the passengers were panic stricken. The Chinese master and crew were cover ed with revolvers and compelled to steer the ship to Wonchu, where the more than 100 passengers and the members of the Compredore (native steward) staff were kidnapped, be s:de« the ship’s eight armed Chinese guards. One of the guards was stab bed and seriously injured. The pi rat- s completely ransacked the Man sing and carried off the cargo and passengers’ belongings.

RECEIVERS REPORT TO JUDGE ISAAC MEEKINS Tell of Progress Made With Defunct Co-operative Tobacco Association. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Aug. 23.—Much .of inter-1 est to tobacco growers generally and | all those interested in tobacco is ex- i peeted to result here Monday when t'ae receivers of the defunct Tobacco j Growers Co-operative Association here and report to Judge Isaac M. Meekins, who appointed them, what progress has been made in the dispo sition of the association’s affairs. It is expected that reports of disposition of tobacco made by the receivers will show that much of the leaf that was held on Ciand by the association has been profitably disposed of and that members will lose as heavily as was at first believed. Receivers for the various warehousing corporations also are to be on hand and report on the progress they have made. Among the various matters to be taken up at this meeting is the ques tion of the disposition of some 800 suits by the old association against grower-members who failed to fulfill faeir delivery contracts to the associa- 1 tion. This litigation has been pend ing a long while but has never pro gressed beyond the preliminary stage. The association prosecuted many sim-. ilar suits in the courts before its de mise, nnd won many of them. But as things progressed, it became harder and harder to win these suits, and toward the last days of the associa tion’s life, it became more and more j difficult to hold members to their con-j tracts. The real reason for this was the realization that the grower could not carry out his agreement and that the majority of ('lie smaller farmers were not table to finance their‘farm and pay their expenses with their princi pal money crop held up indefinitely. The five-year contract was proving a boomerang that brought increased bondage instead of freedom. The re volt that ensued resulted in bringing hundreds of growers into court tor failure to fulfill their contracts. And until the present, it has not been de termined what to do with tfiese 800 tiuts that are still pending. However, due to the uncertainty as to the status of these suits and con tracts now, it is believed that the re ceivers will cancel the suits, especially since the grower-members have been relieved of any future deliveries.
