forces control the Republicans state
convention which met here at noon
today but efforts to save a break in
the party may result in u comprom-
ise being effected.
The Taft and Roosevelt forces have
been in almost constant caucus the
last "a hours and the offers of peace
put forth by the Taft men have pulled
"a few weak kneed Roosevelt support
ers into the harmony line.
Taft forces are concentrating their
efforts this afternoon in an effort to
prevent the sending to the national
convention at Chicago of a delega-
tion instructed for Roosevelt. They
do not hope to succeed In having Sc
lected a delegation instructed for the
president but they are fighting hard
to have Taft men on the delegation
and to have the Idaho delegation sent
to Chicago without instructions.
Threats, according to Roosevelt
supporters, were freely made by Taft
adherents today as to what they
would do inthe way of knitting candi-
dates for Office at the next general
election by way of revenge IL the
Roosevelt men succeed in having the
national delegates instructed for
Roosevelt.
The Roosevelt men agreed today to
allow State Chairman G. l.. Heitman,
Taft supporter, to be named as one
of the eight delegates in event he
would vote for Roosevelt. This was
not satisfactory to the Taft men and
1t did not appear likely this afternoon
that they would agree to this settle

Senator Borah is charged with the
deplorable situation now confronting
the party and the Taft men decided
in caucus they would slaughter Borah

tional delegation.
It appeared likely this afternoon
that no definite action toward the Sc
lection of delegates would be taken

Homer's Odyssey The story is
one OF tremendous interest, 1t typifes
the best example Of manhood in the
days of Paganlsm. Ulysses, the
wandering hero, has served for the
purpose Of character study for near
ly 1000 years. THE Odyssey" is not
known among the masses and has al
ways been prominent in the minds Of
students and men of letters for all
time. Homer ad the odyssey" form
an important part in the educational
system OF all nations.
The story is simply told, vivid In
Its coloring, and treats of the ordi-
naries Of life as they were 1000
years ago, and exactly as they are
today, love- passion, war and death
and destruction, these are the ele-
inents that weave the fabric of "The
Odyssey"
Homer's odyssey" presages a new
era in film making. At single
hound 1t leaps to heights never be-
fore conceived. It will serve as a
stimulus for better things to follow
Its production alone warrants a
worldwide surprise in photo play.

Los Angeles. CAL, May 16.--Alleging
barbarities savoring Of the Spanish
inquisItion and the prisons Of Siberia,
Ben Reltman, manager for Emma Gold
man, reclted today his story Of his ex-
perlences at the hands OF a party Of
vigilantea that drove him from San
Diego, and coated him with tar.
To bear out his story, Reitman ex-
hibited bruises and cuts on his face.
He claimed also that his body was
bruised and sore, and that he still is
suffering much pain from the treat
ment he alleges he received. His
face today shows traces of the tar with
which he was daubed, and, in spite
OF liberal applications Of turpentine.
he declares he has been unable to re-
move all Of the hardened mass from
his body.
Reitman was extremely bitter in his
denunciation of his alleged persecu-
tors. Portions Of his narrative were
so narrowing in detail, and of such a
nature as to make their publication
impossible.
Friends and sympathizers of Reit-
man will hold a protest mass meeting
in theatre here tonight, Anton
Johannsen, labor leader; Emma Cold
man, C. T. spradling, president of the
Los Angeles Liberal club, and Reit-
man will speak. 1t was reported that
