SEE LIND MAKING PROGRESS

Substantial progress has been
achieved, in the judgment of admins

John Lind in the discharge of his deli

the American embassy's adviser at
which theoretically has been erected
by the Mexican government to OBJ
struct his negotiations. The present
ment he has already made is under
stood to be only of a preliminary char
acter and will be followed by Others
setting out more in detail the object
which the American administration
had in mind in dispatching him to
Mexico City.
The delivery of these supplementary
communications will depend entirely
upon the reception accorded the Amer
lean governments first communica-
ton
This is now under careful considera-
ton, fact regarded as of the utmost
promise for the ultimate success of
the negotiations. 1t is understood
that while there is nothing in these
views in the nature of demand for
the withdrawal OF General Huerta
from the presidency, or for the arbi-
trary fixing of date for general
election, there is nevertheless a dis

should be made by the Huerta govern

Roads Ask More for Carrying Mail.

Officials of seventeen western rail
roads signed a telegram that was sent
to Postmaster General Burleson, urg-
ing the government to increase the
compensation of the roads for hand

and cannot be grown with the

Trees propngated BY budding the
pear upon ounce stock are known as
dwarfs. The Anglers variety of ounce
is principally used for this purpose
Such trees develop a abrous root sys

on ounce stock than on pear stock.
The dwarf type OF tree may be nd

do without the customary attempt of one to hog the show, the whole could not help but appeal
 There Is no special plot running throughout, but with quick shifts of scenery, costume and plot, there Is a uniqueness about the Liberty Girls which is refreshing.
 While Matt Kennedy is featured throughout, his comedy is quietly en- ticing and without the slap-stick flavor brings out many novel quips that are original to this book. It also offers an opportunity for Mona Ramond to show her good looks, Franke Rice her sou brette qualities and Al Bruce, Brad Sutton, Joseph Dillon, Tom Mckay and Harry Cole their character parts The comedy lacks, at the start, that punch which is needed to draTw ap- plause. With quick shift of scene one is taken to the good ship Pinafore where Bring Back My Bonnie to Me- sung by the choristers charmtngly protruded through the portholezS and led by Red Feather, was immensely appreciated. Another scene travels through a, travesty upon that opera as written by Gilbert & Sullivan and in spired the audience still further. The hit of the first act was White Hawk and Red F'eather, two full blooded In dians in a far western sketch, height ened by il1usive scenic effect and their naturally musical voices. A speciality dance by Miss Caprice was apprecd- ated.
 In the second act written by Matt Kennedy and in which he appears to exceptional advantage, the real meat of the show lies. The scene is laid within eanitarium for the insane and is diversified with a travesty upon Madam x'' which is hilariously fun ny.
 
 bers in which the chorus is well cos tuned: A Scotch medley by Jack Dill lon and chorus, ran well; Love Me While the Loving Is Good,' by Mona Raymond and MT. Kennedy, ran for five encores; Sweetest Story Ever Told,'' by Red Feather and chorus. made a lasting impressing, and Hon eymoon Express" by Frankie Rice, was going we'll when her display of temperament spoiled it. Though apol- ogies were rendered, the direction is sadly lacking to permit Of her thrice leaving the stage to indulge in tenn per. It may also be said without re- f1ecting upon the generality of the show from the front, that this lack of stage management extended even fur ther in permitting the lowering of ship drop without the house lights be- ing turned down, the undressing or several of the chorus and apparent favoritfsm being shown several chor- isters with a tendency to Hay down in their work" Representation by Gene Gomez classes. him as one of the clev- crest women imitators around the vaudeville or burlesque circuit
 The Liberty Girls will draw we'll, are justly entitled to do so from the amount Of real new stuff contained, and Matt Kennedy's expression, I Want to Get a Room,'' will well apply to applicants at the box office this week.

LYRIC

In the ever active search of the Iy- ric theater management to secure ev- erything of interest to the people from all four corners of the globe, they have secured for two days com mencing Friday matinee views of the actions and proceedings of the murder trial in Kieve, Russia, of Menuel Bei1is.
 At the instigation of the Black Hun dred, Beilis was charged with killing a man in accordance with the Jewish ritual. This trial has created more public interest in every civilized coun- try in the world than any trial since that of Dreyfus. The family and home of Bei1is are also shown in this picture which will be shown for the first and only time in Bridgeport, mat inee and evening, today and tomor- row.
 On the same program Q great spec tacular drama in three reels based on the late San Francisco earthquake will be screened. The settings and scenes are remarkable and a great achievement. This photo drama is one of the most thrilling productions ever shown in motion pictures and will be shown exclusively at the I1y- ric. '"The Pearls of the Madonna" romance in three reels of California mission days, and four other selected photo plays will be included on the same program.
