A photop1ay extraordinary and of unusual interest to all Bridgeport is shown at this theatre Monday and Tuesday. Helen Gardner a local young lady, is presented in a three reel fea- ture picture entitled The Wife of Cain,'' romance of the primal Be ing simply a romance inspired by the statement in Genesis that Cain went out in the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod, where he knew his wife, this picture does not aim to accomplish more than your entertainment and amusement. It is neither historical nor theological; it is fanciful. It has been assumed in this story, simply that Adam and his wife and the children were possessed of ordinary common sense, and that the almost obvious necessities and graces of human life were within their Knowledge. As stated above this story does not aim to teach any prin-

STADIUM IS BIG
 BALL ROOM FOR
 K. I. CONCLAVE

Denver, Aug. 11-It is estimated that 18, 900 Knights Templar arrived in Den yer, yesterday, and last night, to at- etnd the 32nd, trienniaI conclave which was informally opened. Saturday night. Seventy-eight special trains bearing 25,000 other Knights were scheduled to arrive, today.
 Each train with it's load of TempIars was met by an escort from the Color ado mmanderies and marched to their hotels. Members of St. Bernard Commandery of Chicago, were the frs tarrivaIs. They were soon follow ed by Creston Commandery, of Burl- ington, Ia., and at intervals of a few
 minutes thereafter small armies of Knights poured into union station.
 Among the most interesting of the early arrivals, today were the 200 members of the California Command cry No. 1. who will form the escort of honor to Grand Master William B. Melish during the conclave. Awaiting them were 200 black horses that have been trained by an army officer. Cali fornians mounted their steeds and, accompanied by an escort, paraded to hotel.
 TempIars generally in a reception to the grand encampment officers and members of Denver Commandery No. 25 at a theater. A second reception to the same Knights will be given at Fl JobeI Temple by Colorado Command cry No. 1.
 Public interest in the coraclave is divided between the great dress par ade to be held tomorrow, and the horse show and ball at the stadium on Thursday night. The stadium will be converted into an enormous ball room, probably one of the largest ever built Nine thousand tickets have been issued for this fete The horse show will precede the dance.
 To spare disappointment to the east erners who come here hoping to ind Indians living in the streets of Den yer. the conclave committee has in duced several families of Utes to pitch their tepees at the entrance of the stadium.

clple' nor does it pretent historical acc curacy even approximately. Its de- sign IS to interest and amuse through it's poetic beauty and dramatic order. T. IS merely a fanciful story of the regeneration of the committee through the charming philosophy Of a wonderful woman. It is tragic and. at moments sublime in It's message straight to the human heart and mind It should be borne in mind that Miss Gardner plays the role of the woman that she is sp1endid1y supported by players who are to the main real art ists, that the play Is written and di- rected by the same man who wrots and directed "Cleopatra,'' and that neither expense, time nor study haa been spared to produce something not or1y cut of the beaten run of produc- tions, but a work of surpassing inter est and intrinsic beauty both iu thought and action.

REILLY CHALLENGES .M'LEAN'S QUOTATION
 FROM HIS SPEECHES
Says Senator Has Mistaken His Views On Tariff Legis-
 IatiOn
Cost of Production at Home and Abroad Not the Basis of
 Estimating Rates

Representative Thomas L. Reilly was | asked yesterday what he thought of
 the claims made by Senator Mclean in
 his speech that he (A1r. Reilly) had stated in a speech at Waterbury that
 the Democratic tariff bill would be
 framed upon difference in the cost of
 production here and abroad. Repre- sentative Reilly replied:
 Senator Mclean is mistaken in re-
 gard to what I said concerning the
 Underwood tariff bill or the Demo
 cratic plan regarding a tariff. He de-
 bends upon item that appeared in
 the Waterbury American which pur- ported to give a report of a speech made by. me for his information in re- gard to my views and has received misinformat tion.
 'I do not know from what source
 the report printed in the American came, but it was not a first hand re- port by the American I am quite cer- tain, for I did not speak in Waterbury during the last campaign and I am equally sure the American did not have a reporter following me about.
 What said many times during the campaign was directly opposite to what the American reports me as saying. I said repeatedly that there was no sense tn difference in the cost or production at home and abroad when the cost of production at home and in two shops in the same town was as great as the average difference between an Ameri- can and a foreign shop. due to eff1- ciency, lower overhead charges and many other things in one shop as against the same things in another shop. With that condition said there would be little sense or fairness in bas- ing a tariff on the difference in the cost of production. I also said in the course of my talks to the voters of Connecticut that until the present gen eraI rule of raising a great part of the money needed to conduct the govern ment at the custom house was changed there would be little danger of any legitimate American industry suffering because the duty collected would be high enough to be protective whether it was intended to be or not.
 That the Republicans in the present Congress or a majority of them were not sincere in their protestations that they were in favor of a, revision of the tariff downward was proven day after day during the discussion of the Un- bill when they offered amend | mentS to it. venture to say that 90 ! per cent. of the amendments offered to | to the Underwood bill were not for a | lowering of the duties but for a re- | of the repudiated Payne rates.
 Those Republican amendm ents1 left | only the alternative of voting for the Underwood bill to those who might not favor all the rates in the Under pr stand for the Payne-Aldrich special 1 privilege rates and they took the re- | ddced Underwood rates.
 That attempt to re-enact the Payne Aldrich rates was the most glaring | specimen of Republican unfairness in

80 ARRESTS ATT. W. w.
 STREET RIOT MEETING

Minot, N. D., Aug. 11.-Efghty ar rests were made here late last night, when Industrial Workers of the World attempted to hold street meetings to encourage harvest hands to refuse of fers of work unless wages were in- creased. Although the jail is crowded to overfowing and there have been threats of violence, the police have the situation well in hand. One street speaker was attacked with eggs and the excitement became so great that the fire depar tment was called out to aid the police.
