"The Squaw Man" which comes to
the Auditorium, Tuesday, April 23rd.
is, without doubt, the best play Ed
win Milton Royle ever wrote. The
story is interesting throughout the en-
tire four acts and there is not moment
from the rise of the curtain to the fall,
when the interest of the spectator flags.
The characters are all taken from life
and are correct portrayal of the peo-
pie who go to make up the inhabitants
of Wyoming. When the curtain rizes
on the third act the audience is seen to
gasp. The scene is so realistic one can
almost imagine being out in the burning
sun on the plains of Wyoming with
nothing in sight but cactus plants and
alkali water, and when the cowboys
are seen coming into the ranch yard
dusting themselves we are almost GER
tain that this is not play.

thousand persons participated in the
lynching.
Davis was brought here from
Athens, Texas When members of
the sheriff's posse arrived at the jail
with the negro they were confronted
by several hundred citizens, who
waited until the black man had writ
ten his confession, then demanded
that he be turned over to them.
Officers and citizens who had gath
cred inside the jail protested. but
finally surrendered the negro to the
mob, whose numbers made protests
useless, the officers say. From the
Jail the prisoner was led to the public
square, where several wagon loads of
wood had been piled.
Davis had signed statement con-
Tossing to the assault, but before the
match was touched to the pile of wood
on which the negro had been bound
by the mob he was again asked if he
were guilty.
81 am guilty." he cried, and a
moment later the flames were leaping
high about his head.
He was tied to rail and after he
reiterated his confession a match was
applied and the flames enveloped him.
The mob stood around the fire until it
died down and little was left but
charred bones and ashes.
The work of the lynchers was done
quickly and quietly The determine
ton of the men who had the execu-
tion in charge appeared to have a
SOLDERING effect upon them.
In his written statement Davis told
how he and another negro attacked

a farmer. as she was walking along

The Imperator will carry three wires

will also carry two first officers. one

can be pressed into transport service.

Washington. The Cuban military
authorities admit that the situation is
serious, but think they can control
it The government is said to be re-
ceiving offers of service from various
organizations and individuals. A party
o. congressman left Havana for their
respective districts in the disaffected
regions to make an effort to affiliate
the negroes. It is reliably reported to
the State Department that many peos
pie consider the movement designed
to provoke Intervention.
No explanation was volunteered at
the department of the receipt of the
report about provoking intervention.
But it has been matter of discus
sion for some time among the Diplo-
matte Corps here that the Cuban gov
eminent itself might be tempted to
encourage a rebellious movement in
the hope of securing a continuance ir
power by American backing.

WOULD CREATE
MILITARY RESERVE
Thson, Has Scheme TO be Pre-
pared for War.
Quarter Million Men Ready For
Emergency = Avoids Expense OF
Large Standing Army, But Gives
Real Preparedness.

Washington.-A plan for the crea-
ton of military reserve that will in
sure force of nearly quarter of a
million trained men is proposed in a
bill introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Tilson, of Connecticut
He framed the bill after studying
conditions among the troops ON the
Mexican frontier year ago and after
consultation with many high Army and
War Department officials it is pro-
nounced by military men to be the
most important military legislation
since the Civil War.
The Connecticut Representative has
started out with two propositions to be
met: First, that the Army Of the Unit
ed States with the national guard as
it now exists) is entirely inadequate
for national defense in case Of war.
Second, that the people of the United
States do not desire and should not be
compelled to maintain regular stand
ing army large enough for adequate
defense in time of war.
Under present conditions he esti-
mates that 10000 regulars and 10000
national guardsmen could probably be
put into the field within 80 days in
case of war. Under his bill, he says.
there could be put into service in the
same time. $4,000 regulars and 10000
militia.
The plan is based on the policy of
keeping in touch with the enlisted men
of the regular Army. Navy. Marine
Corps and National Guard who have
been trained in military tactics, SO
that these men could be called to the
colors in time of actual war. The
men in the reserves will be brushed up
on their training every year by mill
tary maneuvers such as are held every
year by the national guard.
The companies, battalions and regi-
ments of the regular army. or of the
national guard, are not kept at their
full authorized strength, but in skele-
ton form. The first feature of the
plan is to provide reserves which
would raise these units in the army
and national guard to their maximum
strength should war start.
To accomplish this condition the en-
listment period OF, the Army is in
creased from three to six years, the
last three years of which may be taken
On furlough. These furlough men are
to be kept on the roll of the organiza-
tions to which they belong and are to
be subject to the general lava and
regulations of men on furlough.
A further reserve is provided to in
clude those who have been trained in
the regular Army, Navy, or Marine
Corps or in the National Guard, but
whose furlonghs have run out.
