THOMAS MEIGHAN AND
AGNES AYRES AT LIBERTY
Thomas Meighan, athletic Para
mount sta r. seldom, if evor, disap
points his audiences. Hence it fol
lows that when his latest picture,
"Cappy Ricks,” based on Peter B
Klync’-s famous Saturday Evening
Post stories, to be shown at the
Puberty tonight, Mr. Meighan will
add another delightful morsel to his1
tong list of picture successes.
Mr. Meighan is said to be excellent
as >Matt Peisley, a seaman's mate,
who falls in love with and wins Flor
rie Riicks, daughter of the irascible
Cappy. Ho proves his mettle as a
man in two or three capital fis.ii
encounters which take place in till
development of the Story. Altogeth
er, ihis portrayal is one that is en
joyed by everyone. Agne3 Ayres is
champing as Florrio, while Charles
Abbie is wholly artistic in his por
trayal of Cappy. The support gener
ally is of the highest standard.
■ “Cappv Ricks” is an excellent story
of the sea and the photography by
Harry Perry leaves little to be de
sired.
There will also be a Burton
Holmes travelogue.

Old Limitation Be Done
Away With Now.
CHICAGO. Feb. 7.—The three-mil?
lfmiit off tho coast of the United
Stages was a purely arbitrary and j
fictitious limitation which has been,
made obsolete by modern invention,
according to a statement by Dr. Clar
enco T. Wilson of Washington, of j
the Board of Temperance, Prohibition j
and Public Morals of the Method is tj
Episcopal Church, made public here
today.
“When the doctrine was written
by Bynkorschook,” says tho state
ment, “the extreme range of a shore
cannon was three milc3 and as a sov
ereign nation can only claim to ex
ercise jurisdiction which he is in
fact able to police and defend, the
threemilo limit was supposed to be
the logical boundary of national au
thority.
"Today the extreme range of o!
cannon on shore is certainly not less]
than 20 mHles and might, in fact, be!
very much greater. The United j
States should assort and maintain |
tho doctrine that it has the right to j
defend itself by any necessary means
against attacks upon its laws which
of warfare.
“Rum. running vessels have repeat
edly congregated off the New .lor-j
spy coast outside the three-mile limit, j
If necessary in order to handle the!
situation. United States destroyer?
should' bo ordered to capture or de l
stray any rum running ship whirl:!
approaches dose enough to i
American shore to establish con
tact.
“At this time the American i>eo
ple cannot bo expected to b' pa
Mont With far fetched leg.tl technicali
ties. The American people have al
ways known the answer to in ult ar.d
injury. The govonniment should make j
that historic answer and it can be1
best spoken from the throats of
naval guns.” ,
