 "The Kangaroo depicting the ter TOTS of old New Orleans, will be shown at the Best theatre today. This story, which deals with an epi- sode in the history of the slave-hold- ing states of the United States aroat 1S34-35, is in five parts.
 ~@ An arch conspirator known as Shack heaued a gang among themselves as the "Speculators" This gang recruited representatives from all over tlle Southern States. Their membership included rom the lowest strata of white up to ministers of the gospel, judges, sheriffs. and men in high offices. No robbery. large or small. was disdained. Slave running also proved very lucrative. The slaves were induced to escape from their masters with the promise to run them North, where they could se- cure freedom. Once in their power the gang would embark them in boats dispose of them to some member of their unscrupulous band and send to worse slavery in the farther South All this was criminal enough, but the "Speculators" were organized for q far more terrible purpose. viz On a given day (secretly decided upon the slaves throughout the entire south were to rise against their masters and the "Speculators, taking advantage of the whites attention being center ed on saving their lives and subjugat- ing the slaves, were to loot all plan tations, stores, banks, etc., and es- cape with their booty to Mexico.
 In this film they are shown in one of their nefarious operation, in a scenes teeming with action. "'

shoot down those in their path that

from the turnkey, John Martin. whom
they had wounded, and had sheltered
themselves through the prison yard
by holding Mary Foster, telephone
operator, in front of them, until the
only shot fired by the guards in the
yard hit the girl in the leg.
Outside the gate, the men seized the
horse and buggy Of Warden Dick and
dashed away, only to be shot to death
by pursuing guards.
One of the convicts fought to the
last, their stolen horse lashed to a
gallop by the other two. They fired
their last cartridge at the oncoming
guards, who then poured in deadly
fire from horseback.
Even after the three escaped men
were lying dead in the bottom Of the
careening buggy the frightened horse
of the warden dashed onward until
felled by a bullet from the pursuers.
One of those killed was John r.
Thomas of Muskogee, formerly United
States district judge. and at one time
member of Congress from Illinois.
He was shot by a prisoner.
Dead.-John r. Thomas, Muskogee.
former United States district judge,
