"Mr. Crouch at the Seashore." BIZ
ograph. Farce comedy. This ill
tempered gentleman accompanies his
wife to the seashore, but being so
insanely jealous of her makes the
stay there rather unpleasant. First
of all he refuses to go bathing in
the surf with her and she, despite his
command not to go, goes in alone
Towering with rage at his wife's de-
fiance, he gets himself into several
embarrassing positions. In fact he
makes a fool of himself generally.
"Broncho Billy for Sheriff" Essa-
nay. Mr.. G. NJ. Anderson in his great
characterization famous throughout
the world. The grim savagery of the
western feudal grudge and the bitter

"The Woman Halter" Kalem. This
story shows that while a man may
be woman hater speaking generally
there may be exceptions. There was
in this case.
"The Little Indian Martyr Sellg'
This is fine story from start to fin

100000 PLEDGED
FOR HIGHWAY PROJECT

Indianapolis, oct. 7.-Impetus to
the tune of 100000 has been given
the proposed Ocean to Ocean High
way by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
company of Akron. Ohio. over one
million dollars has already been
pledged and some of the largest ma
kers of automobiles and accessories
have yet to be heard from.
The plan, as originally outlined by
Carl G. Fisher of Indianapolis and
his associates, provides for the pur-
chase of materials for the building of
stone highway from New York to
San Francisco to be completed in
time for general use to the Panama
exposition in 1915. 1t will take ten
million dollars to provide $4,000 worth
of material for each mile, but one
tenth of the amount has already been
secured and the surface has not been
scratched.
"We'll do it," says Mr.. Fisher. The
only thing that l am anxious about
is getting the job done in time for
the big fair"

GOOuNedT, NO'CeS the RtHeTdl dlIl-

Mr.. Sieberling, has been so obvious
that its possibility, in fact its almost
definite assurance, seems to be the
most natural thing in the world. Th'
! plan proposed by c. G. Fisher of In
dianapolis is the first practical plan
to my knowledge. that has been ad
vanced.
"In pledging its pro-rata of approx
imately 100000 the Goodyear Tir,
and Rubber Co. feels that they hav'
done nothing remarkable or unset

movement on which we will expect t

| CUES, to my mind, that the manufac
turers look upon the project in th'
same light
I'm my opinion, the move will sue
ceed-it deserves to succeed, and the
men behind it are calculated to SET
that anything they back gets its des
serts. In other words, they are bust
ness men. and 1t takes business men
not politicians, to do all of the really
big things of today"

CZAR AND BRITAIN
TO DIVIDE PERSIA
London Times Declares Such Is the
Meaning of SaZOnOff-Grcy
Meetings

London.-The practical division of
Persia between Great Britain and
Russia appears almost assured as a
result of the conferences which Ser
gius Sazonoff, the Russian foreign
minister has had with British states
men. All the newspapers which are
in the closest touch with the foreign
office, particularly the Times, looked
upon recently as Sir Edward Grey's
mouthpiece. are forecasting this ar
rangement and are apparently pre-
pairing the public mind for it. The
necessity of preserving order in the
interests of trade is the principal rea-
son advanced.
Discuss Details of Division.
The Manchester Guardian and 9TH
er liberal papers oppose the project
bitterly The Guardian says: The
foreign office. although not ordinar-
ily oversolicitous about trade interests
knows well how to quote them for its
own ends"
Since the signing of the Angle Rus
sian convention of 1907 for the main
tenance of Persias independence and
integrity and incidentally for the di-
visio of the country into British and
Russian spheres of influence, there
has been steady growth of this in
fluence and corresponding shrink
age of Independence in Persia. The
exact division of territory will not be
easy. The Russian papers claim Te-
heran. If the emperor gets the cap
ital Great Britain's share will be de-
cidedly the smaller value.
Loss of Buffer" state.
Some of the liberal papers bewail
the disappearance of Persia as the
buffer" state and foresee great
increase in the British military es-
tablishment when the ritish- Russian
boundary is drawn across the middle
of what is now Persia.
Nowhere is the outcome of the con-
ference between Sir Edward Gray and

OF Biairsville, Pa.
Miss Josephine Graham aud Charles
Vachal, both of Salisbury, became
engaged to be married two years ago.
Eachal presented a diamond ring to
his fiance, following this with another
ring later.
Nachal some time ago told her OF a
circumstance that temporarily would
prevent their marriage, and asked for
the rings, promising to return them
at her request, as she did not consider
the engagement broken. Miss Gra-
ham later requested the return of the
rings, but Nachal is alleged to have
refused them.
Suit for their recovery was brought
by the girl. At the hearing before
Justice Geib the rings were returned
to the young woman and Nachal paid
the costs of the suit.

The Spare Deal.

What are the Taft Managers in
Missouri planning to do? According
to the list of assured delegates given
are included in the Taft column,
though the primaries were carried
by Roosevelt. There is but the slim
NEST technicality upon which the rigt
OF th Roosevelt delegates can be at
tackled. and not even a technicality
by which Taft delegates could be seat
ed in their places.
The utmost which could be done
with any Dretense of equity would be
to declare the election void. But that
would deprive Jackson County of her
representation and defeat the express
ed will Of the people. To DO that.
however, would not be enough to
give Taft the convention. 1t is ne
cessary to add the Roosevelt delegates
from Jackson County to the Taft
strength to give him even chance to
control the convention.
The most outspoken of the Taft
managers make no secret OF the in
tent to do this, an intent which is
plainly INDICTED by counting Jack
son County in the Taft figures given
out from headquarters. This would
not be steam rolling II would be
plain highway robbery.
The Missouri Republicans, whether
for Taft or Roosevelt, will not in
dorse any such proceeding. 1t would
be the death hIow to all hops the
Republicans have of Carrying the stat
in November. either for president or
state officers,
IL is such political methods rs this
such utter disregard Of the wishes OF
the people by political managers. that
is back OF the revolt every where
against the old machine system and
the demand for genuine, popular pri-
nlaries, such as have just shown their
value in Iliinoise.
The Republican State Committee "a
composed OF honorable men. those
who. in private life. would scorn to
do dishonorab!e orr unfair thing.
