Truck, bat by Lighter Vehicle, ow Missing. T.x Aralld. I. son of Mr. and Mm George Arnold, of it .North Ninth street, died In a police patrol esrly yesterday afternoon at the doom of ih. Oood Samaritan Hospital. Mystery surrounds the ctax of bla death. It la believed the bor was run over by a vehicle of aome sort a fear minutes after noon at Ninth and via streets Jam. H. Green, driver of a track for tha Olso-Ro Transfer Company, Is held without ball In tha City Jail on orders from Deputy District Attor ney Ryan, pending- further Investiga tion. It was at first believed that It was ha who ran over the boy, but sub sequent developments cast suspicion aleo on tha driver of a touring car. which disappeared from the seen of tha accident shortly after It occurred. Creea Clvea Flrat Aid. In a statement to It. P. Coffin, chair man of tha Public Safety Commission. Oraea said he did not know whether or not he was the slayer of the boy. "1 was going south on Ninth street.' he said, "and stopped In front of the machine shop of U. G. Gerber at la North Ninth street. I looked all about Txi e and to the rear, and atarted to back to tha curb. When about six Inches from tha curb I noticed a little boy running acrosa tha street, crying. As my rear wheel touched the curb I saw another little boy about four feet to bit left In a stooping? position, as If ha wera rising from tho pavement after a rail. He also ran acrosa tha street and sank down on the curb. "I Jumped out of my truck and Kan to him. and told Gerber to telephone for a doctor, while I went for water. "W hen I got back with tha water the police wera there." Green went In tha police auto with the Injured boy and his mother to the hospital, then to tba public moritue. where tha body was left, and waa then taken to police headquarters, whera after making his statement, he was locked up. Different Theories Advanced. After Green's Incarceration. In spectors Mallet and Ticbenor were sent out from headquarters to Investigate Captain Harms, who Is In charge of traffic, detailed Patrolman Lewis to the case, and Deputy District Attorney Ryan went to tha scene of the acci dent with Patrolman Raney. Mean while Edward Smith. Deputy Coroner, VM also Inveatisratlns;. The various investigators came back with two entirely different theories of the killing of the Arnold boy. In spectors Mallet and Tlchenor are firmly of the opinion that it was the truck driven by James Green that ran over the boy. and Mr. Ryan learned nothing to cauae him to release Green. Deputy Coroner Smith, on the other hand, after an examination of the body, pro nounced that only three ribs were broken. He Is convinced that tha truck did not run over the boy. and that hi Injury was cauaed by a lighter vehicle. O. H. Mounce. of the Shell Oil Com pa nr. who reached the scene shortly swtrr the accident, told the policeman rbat the driver of the touring car had admitted to hlra that he killed the boy. and that the missing driver's state ment was. "The first I knew of It was wbea I felt the shock aa two wheels f my car passed over his body. This driver of the touring; car. who Is aald by other members of tha crowd that gathered to have been dreased In a canvas coat and leggings, waa also en taking the names of witnesses. The touring car was noticed at tha scene of the accident by Motorcyrle Sergeant Err In. but he failed to note Its license number. When the delegation af Investigators from police headquarters reached the scene the car and driver had disap peared. At an early hour last night no trace of him had been found by the police.

I -I---FLIRTING WITH FATE." Is a H very funny picture. It's a "Doug" Fairbank's offering, which in Itself Is a guarantee of ex cellent entertainment. It's a med ley of whiskers and assassins, plus the presence of that grinning athlete, Fairbanks; pretty Jea-el Carmen, for mer Portland girl, and some clever subtitles.

Augy practices on Gladys friend. Gladys thinks him false, ao. hopelessly in love and penniless. Augy hires an assassin to take his life as aoon as possible.

But It Is not until Augy has been frightened out of his wits many times that he learna of tha reformation and feels fairly confident that his bride is not to be an early widow. -Flirting With Fate" was one of the earlier Fairbanka aucceaaes and aa such should be welcomed by thousands ho have become ardent followers of this comedian since those days. It's full of laughs, clever situations, and there's the usual contribution of Fair banks athletlctsma. Mae a Sculptor. The familiar press agent story of the versatile feminine star who rides, plays golf, cooks, dances and swims with con summate skill makes the not in f re-1 uuently truthful press department of Goldwyn Pictures a little bit diffident about telling people who might never believe It that Mae Marsh Is an honest- to-good ness sculptor. But she is. and there seems no getting around making the fact public. Goldwyn has knswn since Mae Marsh came under Its wing aa a star that she possessed this unusual talent, but It was with an Interest not unmixed with skepticism that persons In the New York offices of the company regarded photograph sent from the studios showing the little star at work on life-site clay statue, unmistakably of herself. Inquiry revealed the astonishing fart tbat Miss Marsh had modeled the statue herself every bit of It. from head to toe for one of the Important scenes "The Beloved Traitor." her newest Goldwyn picture. And ahe did It be cause her leading man. playing the role of a sculptor, hadn't enough knowl edge of the art to have plastered the clay foundation on the dummy frame of the statue. Franks Career Noteworthy. J. Herbert Frank, who plays the part of Sutherland York In Constance Talmadge s new production. "Scandal." bringa to bla motion picture work the experience derived from an Imposing list of legitimate atage successes. Mr. Frank was a member of Wright Iortmer'a notable cast In "The Shepherd King" and also In Ibaen'a "The Wild Duck," and his work with Florence Davla In "Divorcons" and "The Doll's House" brought hlra prominently into the ken of the critics. He also played with Walker Whiteside In "We Are King" and with Madame Modjeska for a season, not to mention a lengthy engagement with E. H. Sothern In repertoire. His popularity as an actor, however. Is not confined to American audlencea A couple of seasons in London, one with Sir Herbert Tree and one with Sir Henry Irving served to Identify htm with the English stage, and his success In pictures has been as unqualified there sa In the United States. Mr. Frank'a entry Into the motion picture world was made back In the days when extras, scene shifters and leading men were all paid alike. His first work was with the Kalem Company as leading man. and since that Summer he haa traveled far afield. Theda Bars. Kitty Gordon. Olga 'ttrova. Lionel Baxrymore, Alice Brady, Norma Talmadge.
