FOUL PLAY FEARED
IN CASE OF ACTOR
Walter L. Arlington, Head of
Stock Company, Missing;
Bills Left Unpaid.
Special to Tho Tribune.

OGDEN, March 30.-LeaVinG unpaid
bills, which are said to total more than
$1,000. Walter l.. Arlington, owner and
manager OF the Arlington Stock company,
has disappeared from the city and can
not be found by fve members OF the
company and other persons who have
not received their salary for the past
several weeks. More than half Of the
total amount is said TO be owing for
salaries to actors. members or the or
chestra and stage employees.
For the first time since Manager Airing
ton was last seen In this city on Sat-
urday, the Ogden theater was dark to-
night, Thomas Pawley, leading man OF
the company, taking charge OF the box
office receipts on behalf OF the manager
following Sunday nights performance.
Owing to the fact that it is known that
Arlington had n considerable sum- of mon-
ey with him when last seen. IL is be-
lieved by his friends that he may have
met with foul plpay.
A j. Cole, who has known Arlington
for eight years. is one of the principal
losers. his amount for back salary and
money loaned being about $500. Fred
eric Moss. leader of the orchestra. Is said
70 hold bill OF about s2s5 for back sala-
ry. Orvillo Spurrier John MILAN. Ed
ward Moran and Miss Florence Irsen are
other members of the company who have
not been paid for the past two weeks
work Members OF the orchestra have not
been paid for the past week and stage
hands have two weeks salary coming
Considerable back rent on the theater
Is also owing TO George j. Kelly, sec
retary and trea OF the company OWL
ing the building.
The loss Is felt more keenly by the
unpaid employees OF the stock company.
by reason OF the fact that Arlington has
proIlted by two very successful seasons
at the local house. Coming here from
Salt Lake two years ago, his net profits
for the first year In Ogden are said TO
have been about $4,000 after liqudating
ind debt edness incurred In previous unsuc~
cessful theatrical ventures.
Up TO six weeks ago the company had
enjoyed second prosperous season. II
was on the strength OF recent box Of
flee reverSes that the manager is all
legged TO have withheld salaries. In ad-
ditlon TO Salt Lake, Manager Arlington
is we'll known In Butte. Mont. where ne
operated a theater few years ago;
and also throughout the north central
states. During his brief stay In Salt
Lake Arlington was at the head OF a
stock company which played at the CO.
lonlal and Bungalow theaters.
Preparations arc now being made TO
reopen the Ogden theatcr next Sunday
night with reorganiZed company under
the management of A j. Cole.

VILLA REPULSED
MANY TIMES BUT
NEVER FALTERED

Ell PASO, Tex, March 30,-A tale Of
rebel reverses and rebel luck was brought
here tonight from the front by John

World. and Robert Dorman. q, photogra-
pher,
Their stories are the first unbiased ac-
counts of eye witnesses since the at
tack on Gomez Palaclo. Lardo and Tor
reon began They left the front Satur-
day morning, at which time they esti-
mated that the rebel loss was 1000 in

eve were whipped twice at Gomez
Palacio." related Dorman, "but the fed
erals did not have the good sense to fol-
low up their advantage and Villareai re-
turned 10 the attack after reorganizing
and ultimately occupied the city. We
were whipped right there. but Velasco,
the federal commander, didn't know it,
Federal prisoners whom we captured
said that Velasco later went insane in
the trenches. He is n cripple OF pre-
vious revolutions and has bad arm and
q bad leg. The prisoners told us he went
mad after Gomez Palacio and went rag
iug up and down the lines cursing and
issuing tho most absurd orders. Ulu-
mately his own officers put him under
restraint.

Bill Sure to Pass.

Little doubt as to the result of the vote
on the bill is entertained by anyone. the
majority for the repeal being estimated
at from 80 to 10 votes.
All ears Will be strained for the speaker
tomorrow. There is much speculation as
to the course his attack on the bill will
take. his friends do not expect him to
attack the president Some Democrats
believe that ne will not refrain, however,
from illusions to political entanglements.
Discussion OF the issue in the senate to-
day WIS enlivened by Senator James Ham
i1ton Lewis OF Illinois, who pleaded for
the presidents cause, urging, however, a
compromise. giving the president author
ity to suspend tolls. Thus he proposed to
find ''some intermediate channel between
what appears to be Scylla upon the one
side and Charybdis upon the other. and to
prevent the party craft from striking
upon either promontory. either TO be
wounded or disrupted"

Causes Comment.

Senator Lewis aroused mingled aston
ishment and curiosity among his coll
leagues by discussing the foreign relations
of the United States, and explaining what
he thought the president might have re-
cerred to In his message on the tolls Issue
asking congress to grant the repeal He
drew q vivid picture OF dire things that
would happen should the United States
intervene In Mexico.
Referring TO the presidents failure to
specify what foreign relations prompted
him to appeal for toll exemption repeal,
Senator Lewis did not hesitate to give
what feel may have beon his rea sons"
He then entered upon recital OF acts of
aggression on tho part of the United
States, beginning with tho taking Of the
Philippines,
"You entered IN the Philippines into a
system of colonial government" tho sena-
