CUPID'S VICTIMS ARE ROUTED
Girl FIees From Mothers Grasp and
the WouId-5e Husband Follows
Couple Finally Lost In Throng.

Denver.-Although Cupid's aim had
been perfect and his arrow had
pierced the heart of pretty Margaret
Ann Sample, his prize was stolen from
him. or at least hidden for a while.
John Shorts had led the pretty Miss
Sample through the portals Of Magis-
trate Gavins matrimonial chambers,
and the magistrate was preparing to
administer the Unto death do us
part" ceremony, when suddenly the
doors swung back and woman rush
ed in and shouted, There's nothin'
dom, Judge" The woman was Mrs
Louise Crabtree, mother Of the would
be bride Come here to me-" said
the woman to her daughter as she
grasped her daughters arm.
The daughter whose tear-filled eyes
showed the keeness of her disappoint-
ment, made a dash through the door
way Of the chamber and was holly
pursued by young Shorts. The moth
er followed, but was soon outdis-
tanced, and the couple was lost in the
throng.
The woman then made the rounds
of all Offices OF justices and cautioned
them not to perform the ceremony as
her daughter was too young.

BANDITS AGAIN FIRE At TRAIN.
After Placing Stones On the Track the
Mexican Cutthroats Hid In the
Bushes To Attack the
Train.

Mexico City.-A repetition OF sun
days massacre at Ticuman, when 80
soldiers and 20 passengers were killed
by partisans of the rebel Zapata, was
narrowly averted Wednesday near
Huichila, in Southern Morelos, by the
engineer of a southbound train from
the city of Cuautla who backed his
train out of the danger zone under the
fire of ambushed bandits.
Two women were killed and another
was wounded by the rebel fire before
the train was out OF range.
Rocks had been piled on the track,
but were seen by the engineer in time
to avert disaster.
News arrives every moment OF
devastations committed by partisans
of the rebel Zapata in the Tenancingo
district of the State of Mexico, about
65 miles southwest of Mexico City
1t is feared in government circles
that the rebels may cut off the retreat
of General Trujillo, commanding the
federals now at Tenancingo and then
surprise this city.
1t is expected that Coatespec,
Salinas and other nearby towns will
share the fate of the town of lXtapan
at the hands of the rebels, as there
are no federal troops available for
their defense

Ten Prominent Movine-Picture Film
Concerns Are Accused Of
Combining To Control
Business.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The Federal gov
eminent attacked the so-called Moving
Picture Trust in a civil suit filed here
Friday for the dissolution of the
Moving Picture Patents Company
and the General Film Company. Ten
prominent moving picture film con-
Germs are accused of combining to
monopolize the business. even to the
extent Of increasing or decreasing the
number of motion picture theatres, in
which they have no proprietary inter
est.
The following corporations ard indi-
yiduals, who are officers or directors,
are named defendants:

Each of the defendants is alleged
tC have overstepped the bounds of the
lawful monopoly granted by their pat
ents and the petition asks that sew
eral complicated interlocking license
restrictions, tying patents together, be
ordered Cancelled. The government
charges that unreasonable and oppres-
siye restraints and conditions have
been arbitrarily imposed on the manu-
facture and leasing of films and ma
chimes, depriving the public of the adj
vantages of competition, especially
the competition of foreign films, the
importation of which is alleged to be
restricted
Edwin P. Grosvenor, special assist
ant to the Attorney General, who has
charge of the pending antitrust suit
against the International Harvester
Company, made an exhaustive investi-
cation of the moving picture business,
drawing the petition filed by United
States Attorney John c, Swartley, in
addition, the bill is signed by Attorney
General Wickersham and James A.
Fowler, his assistant.
The governments petition says that
between 100000 and 100000 feet
of pictures are printed each week by
manufacturers and distributed to
thousands of exhibitors all over the
United States. The government de
clares that a sum greatly in excess of
$100,000,000 has been invested in
the different branches of the business.

from 20 to so per cent. Of the film bust
ness. furnishing approximately 1000

OUR MARINES
At MANAGUA
Rebels Must Stop Smelling Mic
aragua Capital.
U. S. MINISTER IN CHARGE.
General Mena, Leader OF the ReVoIu'
ton, Has AIienated the Sym
pathles Of the American
Government.

Washington.-Th collier Justin, ac-
cording TO advices received at the
State Department, has arrived at Co
rinto with $50 marines, under command
Of Major Smedley Butler, who report
ed at once to the senior officer, Cap
tain Terhune, commanding the gun
boat Annapolis, who has been given
full authority to deal with the mill
tary situation in Nicaragua as it ar
fects American interests.
1t is believed that this marine force
was at once dispatched to Managua, a
six-hour run over the railroad from
Corinto. Because of delayed cable ad-
vices to the Navy and State Depart
ments, officials here can only conjec-
ture what happened after the arrival
of the marines in the Nicaraguan
capital
How this force has been used de-
ponds entirely upon the will of Ameri-
can Minister Weitzel, but as he has
already protested to the rebels against
the bombardment of Managua, filled
as it is with women and children and
non-combatants, it is believed he has
driven the insurgents away from their
positions and stopped the lombard
ment If his force is not sufficient for
this purpose, officials feel assured that
he will hold the city until reinforce
ments from Panama or the bluejackets
of the Denver, now en- route to
Corinto, can be placed at his disposal
The State Department has let it be
understood that it does not propose
to tolerate this lawless Smelling and
killing of helpless women and chill
dren and endangering American lives
and Selling and destroying American
property The officials are quite
emphatic in pointing out that General
Mena. the head of the revolution, has
completely alienated the sympathies
of this government by his conduct of
the rebellion.
Belated cablegrams received at the
State Department from American
Minister Weitzel give a vivid picture
of the conflict of Managua, which be-
gan last Sunday morning, when Gen
eral Zeledon, in command of the rebel
forces around Managua, opened fire
on the city from the vicinity of Mono
tombo.

which has been pitched this year In
the forest on the south side of Pal
Users Vermilion Pass, main range Of

$500 feet above sea level and amid
highly picturesque surroundings. BY
its side is rushing glacier torrent
the initial source of Vermilion river
The pass is hemmed in by snow-clad
peaks. To the east rise Storm Noun
tain and Mount Ball; to the west
Boom Lake Mountain and Mount
Whymper. Prospectors' Valley, IN
which flows Tokuum Creek, gives ac
cess to a traverse Of a wide snow field
to the southern faces of six Of the ten
peaks forming that part Of the range
1t is expected that a number OF
alpinists will avail themselves Of the
opportunity to graduate as full-fledged
members OF the club by ascending to
the required height of at least 10000
feet above sea level. Storm Mountain
the lowest and most accessible of the
peaks, is 10000 feet and its conquest

St. Louis Loses Landmark in
Passing Of the Southern.
Hosiery That Was Built Just After
the Civil War and Has Housed
Most Famous of Nation Goes
Out of Business.

St. Louis, Mo.-The Southern hotel,
the Oldest place of its kind in st.
Louis, and one of the best known in
America is no more.
The hotel has remained true to the
tradition of its founders. 1t was de-
signed as a hostelry OF the first class
and it has never been anything else.
The history of the Southern hotel Is
closely interviewer with that OF st.
Louis. Its fame is not confined to its
own city, state and nation.
Its spacious lobby, its wide cor
ridors, its commodious rooms, its
luxurious furnishings and its air Of
aristocracy have been enjoyed and
commented on by men and women
from all nations.
The Southern hotel was rebuilt on
the site of the original Southern no.
tel, erected in 1865.
Before the old building was de-
stroyed by fire the night of April IL,
1877, it was the most pretentious cara
vansary here. 1t sheltered many not
ables.
1t was there, in the early '70s, that
the Grand Duke Alexis was enter
tanned when he visited America as
the royal representative of the Rus
sian government.
While the Southern was sheltering
the grand duke it was also affording
a temporary home for Lydia Thomp-
son and a bevy of her famed English
blondes, who had created a sensation
in America after making a conquest
of the old world.
Lydia and her cohorts were disport-
ing themselves at the Olympic. then,
SIS now, just across the street.
A grand banquet was spread by the
grand dukes orders, and after feed
ing the blondes Alexis decorated the
fair Lydia with a regal bracelet that
was the talk of the town.
All St. Louis eyes were centered on
the Southern on the occasion Of the
first visit to this city of Lily Langtry,
whose beauty had captivated the
Prince of Wales, afterward Edward
VII.
No sooner had the luggage of the
Jersey Lily been deposited in her
palatial suite than there appeared on

ing bribed a prospective juror in the
Mcnamara case, must stand trial on a
second Indictment, according to an an
nouncement made by District Attorney
Fredericks Immediately after the ac-
quittal.
Darrow apparently was unconcern-
ed over the statement of the prosecu-
tor. He was deluged with kilograms
from all parts of the country which
began pouring in within an hour after
the verdict had been given.
The courtroom scene which follow
ed the reading of the verdict. just "a
minutes after the jury had retired,
was one that has had no parallel in
this city.
Jurors embraced the acquitted man
and with tears streaming down their
cheeks declared it was the happiest
day of their lives.

Freddie Gerhard, the rich American,
who needed not the iibes of the news
papers, but persistently followed the
professional beauty from one engage
ment to another and sought to win
her.
1t was only a few years later that
the hotel burned with frightful loss
of life. Outwardly the original South
ern hotel presented the same appear
ance as the present structure. But
when it caught fire it burned like
finder.
Phelim O'Toole and Mike Hester
were the heroes of that fire. They
rescued dozens of guests who were
caught on upper floors.
The new building was completed in
1880, and from the opening 1t was one
of the most fashionable hotels in the
West. The lesson learned from the
burning of the old building and the
large loss of life attending It resulted
in the new building being absolutely
fireproof. 1t was subjected to the
most drastic tests and withstood them

WAISTS BARRED BY CARDINAL
Women So Clad Cannot Attend Con-

in Vienna.

Vienna.-Women dressed in cloth
ing which reveals or slightly con-
ceals the shoulders and arms, or who
wear tight-itting skirts, will be bar
red from confirmation either as
spectators or as godparents to chill
dren, according to Patriarch Cardinal
Cavallari, who preached a sermon re-
Gently which has set all the society
women of this city into a flutter OF ex-
citement.
Taking as his text st. Peters words
on feminine apparel, the cardinal at
tackled "immodest. uncouth fashions, "
saying in part:
THE extravaganza OF women's
dress has reached such a point today
that even men-I do not speak of
Christians. but ordinary men of the
street-feel disguised.
How can respectable women ap-
pear in public when thus arrayed? For
my part l will not permit women so
bedecked to attend confirmation, eth
er as spectators or as godparents to
children. I possess the right to ex-
clude any and every person who thus
shows a want of respect for the holy
sacrament"
