movement are still prisoners at No
gales held on charges Of disloyalty.
The unofficial reports received here
are that many of Carranza's closest
friends are incensed because he has
insisted on remaining outside of the
zone controlled by villa and his men
and they believe that he is afraid TO
tIust himself with villa.
Villa has prepared a magnificent
residence in Chihuahua City for Car
rama It has been ready for a fort
night, but Carranza has failed to go
there to occupy il. Daily reports
that he would do so reach the State
Department, but invariably they are
followed by reports of change of
plan. It is admitted that II the
Mexicans generally get the impress
sion that Carranza Is afraid of Villa,
no matter what protestations of 10y
atty villa may utter, the first chiefs"
influence will be at an end. And when
that time comes. the Wilson admin
istration must face whether It can
afford to support villa as the real
leader of the revolution or place him
in the same category as Huerta.
England has already made it very
plain mofficially that it cannot recog-
nze any movement in which Villa has
IA prominent part. Although compelled
BY force of circumstances to drop the
Benton killing for the time being, the
British government intends to exact real
rcparation when tranquility is restored
lin Mexico. And nasmuch as this gov
'ernment sympathizes with this position
of the manner in which Villa rebufied
all attempts t. force from him the truth
of the Benton Staying. it was recognized
that the Carranza position is of vital in
terest to the Mexican policy.
There was much interest in army cir
oles here today in the developments of
the Torrcon campaign. The fact that
Villa mas sent hurried call for Captain
Salines, his chief aviation expert, and
his monoplane, means that for the first
time the aeroplane is to be used ON this
sentiment as an instrument of warfare.

with the same efficiency which has characterized all their offerings to the people of Bridgeport, the members of the Calburn Stock company present ed ssThe Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary to large and responsive audience last evening at the Lyric theater.

 During the second act, the one in ! which the ''rejuvenation'' occurs, the I members of the cast, for the first time
 this season, proved themselves to be possessed of voices well as the tal- ents of acting. Bernard Thornton sang Sweet Kittie McKay,'' the whole cast joining in with the chorus, while Miss Emma, DeWeale gave 1T Love You Truly. Dear,'' to her own ac- conpaniment the piano. A musi- cale finale was given the act, by the
 singing of '"This is the Life,'' in which the improvised dancing of Lowell Sher- man with Emma DeWea1e brought storm of applause

PLAZA THEATER

Heading a bill of unusual merit at the Plaza the first ha1f of#tlle week are the Petticoat Minstrels, seven merry, sweet-voiced young women in one of the FcIeverest novelties seen here in vaudeville in some time and it made big hit with yesterdays audi ences One song followed another in quick succession and each broJlght a demand from the a1lditors for encores while a tasty seasoning of comedy is 1nterspersed at frequent intervals by the funny endmen Cor end-women, as they are called in this actl. 2 Sweet, Of striking resemblance and full of talent are the Grace Twins who occupied an important spot. Both young women have plea sing singing voices and they have an inimitabIe way ct getting over popular numbers with several parodfes that brought them enyiable results. Their dancing WAS a. treat flor they were exceedingly graceful nimbIe and had original steps to offer.
 E Bert Wheeler was remembered and his comedy skit entitled Fun on the Boulevard brought screams Of laugh ter. He had an odd lot Of parapher- nalia, including all sorts of trick au- tomobiIes and things happened so quickly that none could imagine what was coming next but the laughs kept coming at g lively gale sSss <:
 The va1dos offering a trick cabinet act was popular feature. Although many Of the tricks would have offered much food for thought to the wisest members Of the audience, the manner in which these clever artists presented them hid the mystery behind a riot Of fun. The laughing started when two volunteers trudged their way down the aisle and stumbled over the foot lights in an efrort to discover the tricks and expose the performers, but the joke was on themselves and ev- erybo6y in the audience enjoyed it inn menseIy.
 Clayton & Lennie in a comedy sing ing and talking sl<it that was unique in more ways than one were well re- ceived.
 sFatty and Minnie-E4e-Haw,y ,y a two- reel Keystone special attraction; "A Colored Girls Love- another Key stone; "JaiIbirds,ss and The Forest Thieves g compose the bill.

s1.5OO IS NEEDED FOR
 PURE MILK STATIONS
Members of Visiting Nurses Associa- ton Appear Before Board of Charities to Ask For Ap-
 propriation.

committee from the Visiting Nurses Association appeared before the board of Charities yesterday to ask for an appropriation of $1,5oo for the pure milk stations which they have been supporting for the past three years. With the exception of $500 appropriated them each year by. the Board of Health the association has provided entirely for the stations but the work has now grown to such an extent that they are unable to con tinue it unless they receive the ap- propriation which they have asked for.
 Between so and go babies are fed and cared for at the stations each day. which brings up the total expenses to more than $200 a month. Besides the central station, there are branches in the North, East and West Ends of the city, while a nurse especially trained for this work is in charge of the cen tra1 station.
 The Board of Charities, while heartily endorsing the work. does not consider it exactly in it's department. It was decided to take up the work with the Board of Health and urge them to recsleststae amount needed to continue the work.

 The most sensational act of it's kind is offered by the Famous Roeders. Fol lowing several classic posing groups, the troupe does several strong feats, two women in the cast doing the heavy work It is thrilling every minute and evokes considerable applause.
 'tEopings' is the name of a rural farce by Jesse L. Lasky, that intro-s duces some clever comedy. A trick horse that does many funny stunts adds greatly to the laughs.
 Kim berly and Mohr, two young men | who can sing, present a sIzit called ls'Clubland,' that is a real hit. Both men have fine voices and put over some new and catchy songs in an unique way.
 Won Hampton and Josslyn in a clev- CT song and dance slxit keep up a run ming fire of comedy that is good, and Morris Golden, an eccentric comedian who can play a. violin was a. big hit. The James Duo complete the vaude- vile program in a most acceptabll way.
 One of the best motion picture fea- lures ever seen here is the picturiza- tion Of Conan and Harris great melo- dramatic farce Officer 666.
