AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Venice Will be Object for Howe's Travel
Festival.

1t has become the fashion to talk of
the wonderful strides" that have been
made in animated photography, but it
is noteworthy that Lyman II. Howe's
Travel Festival which comes to the opera
house next Wednesday, Dec 8, still re-
mains in class by itself more than ever
In his entirely new program Mr. Howe
promises one of the most delightly pic
ture journeys he has ever presented. 1t
will take local ''IIowe travellers" to Ven
ice--the city of the sea. The series is
unique--because Venice is unique. All
other cities in the world resemble each
other in many respects, but Venice alone
remains distinctive city of romance
where poetry eonquers prose. And it
is exactly this poetic beauty of Venice
that Howe's film conveys eXquisitely. OF
course, the new program includes num-
erous other noteworthy features, such
as descent into the crater of Vesuvius
where spectators peer down into vast
abyss of boiling lava Then there is
a thrilling ride on runaway train, This,
too, is descent, but at an appalling
tate of speed down the mountain side
and around curves--the train increasing
in momentum at every foot until spec
tators are transfxed in suspense as to
just how such an eventful trip win end
The mysterious development of flowers;
the grace and beauty of natures handi- |
work during the growth of plants; the
fascinating formations caused by the
electrolysis of metals, and railroad ride
through Greece are only few of the
many other features to be presented In
addition there will be those amusing |
clever animated cartoons which always |
form such pleasant diyersions-Advt

ZAPATA WANTS GOMEZ

San Antonio, Tex, Dec. 4.--General
Villa and Zapata conferred in the sub
urbs of Mexico City yesterday while
awaiting the arrival of Provisional Pres
ident Gutierrez and Zapata named Emil
| 10 Vasquez Gomez as provisional pres-
dent, according to a message to l.. Ca
hero, Mexican consul here. Another mes
sage received by Villa representatives
here said that Zapata can only be paci
fed by having his demand complied
with. The message also said the rep
resentative recently sent to Washing
ton by Zapata will really represent Co
mez, and will report to the Morelos lead
er regarding the supposed attitude that
would be taken by this government since
Gomez be named provisional president
Gomez was one of the most prominent
men in Mexico three years ago and was
said to be the only man who could die
tate terms to Zapata. When the first
revolution was launched against Made
70 Zapata declared openly for Gomez and
has always beer follower of the lat
ter. Gomez, who has been residing here
lof sonle tlHht, salu last night ne would
accept the office of provisional president
if officially rendered. He said he had
heard nothing about the report and de-
clned to make further comments Co
mez is the author of the plan OF Ayala,
which Zapata has long advocated for
the constitutional government of Mex
leo. as against the plan of Guadalupe
and the plan of San Luis Potosi. Add
ed strength is given to the belief that
Zapata favors Gomez as provisional pres
ident by the presence with Zapata of
Pauline Martinez, who as representative
of Zapata at the Aguascalentes con-
ference insisted upon the adoption OF
the plan of Ayala.

Monk.

The origin of the Hapsburgs. the
royal house of Austria, is more won
derful than q romance. The founder.
SO goes the story, was Rudolph Of
Hapsburg. a young Swiss count, poor
and obscure. One day while riding In
the chase he came to a stream, beside
which was a monk, who was In great
distress at not being able to cross
over. He told the young count that
he had been summoned to give the last
sacraments to a dying person, but was
unable to perform that duty. The count
leaped from his horse. helped the
monk to the saddle. who crossed the
stream and hurried to his destination.
The next day the monk sent the horse
back, with the warmest thanks.
God forbid" said the count, that !
should ever ride q horse that has car.
ried the Savior to q dying man." and
sent the horse to the monk az q gift
to the church. In course Of time the
monk became chaplain to the prince

to be chosen. The monk persuaded his
patron to present the name Of Count
Rudolph to the assembled electors,
