Soccer Meeting.


 The Taftville soccer football club held their regular weekly meeting Monday evening at their headquarters in the Lincoln club with their usual good attendance. Both the secretary's and treasurer's reports were accepted and the committee on selecting a team to meet Baltic have decided to make a few changes for Saturdays game, but have not yet set upon any particular lineup. It has been learned by the local men that the Ansonia club has appealed to the United States associa- ton of soccer football in regard to the $o expenses that the state association awarded the Taftville club at the state meeting in New Haven. They are scheduled to play the local team Nov. 2S here. and 1t looks as if they are try ing to avoid playing the game. It has been suggested by several that the io- cal management try to arrange for the playing of the game on Thanksgiving afternoon, when it is thought a record breaking crowd would witness the game. Secretary Pearson has heard no further word from the Ansonia team or the state officials.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 3rd-With

FIRST THEATRE OPENED
162 YEARS AGO

One hundred and sixty-two
years ago today the first theatre
in the United States was opened
in the colony OF Virginia at old
Williamsburg. The originator
was an English actor, William
Hallam, ST., who brought his
own company from overseas
and presented The Merchants
OF Venice" as the initial per-
Torrance. The idea spread rap
idly, and soon New York, Phil
adelphia and the other leading
communities OF colonial .Ameri-
ca each had their theatres. At
the close OF the century, theatres
were open in the capitals OF
nearly all thirteen original
states. While the Nirg;niaa
playhouse was the first in the
United States, actors had played
in the colonies before this date.
The first is said to have been the
English strolling player, An
thony Aston. who was known
as Mat Medley,
The actor and his art OF that
day was generally despised by
the puritanical colonists. The
Massachusetts legislature passed
law shortly after amatuers had
given The Orphans" at the
Coffee House in Boston in
I74o, which forbade such per-
formances, attaching a penalty
for actors and spectators alike
of 5 pounds sterling each. The
opposition in Philadelphia was
so great that Hallam was COM
PEELED to build his theatre in
1880 outside OF the city proper
in a district then in disrepute
and known as Southwark, or
Society Hill Even then Wig.
orous efforts wkere made tc
close the theatre. A petition
was addressed to Judge William
Allen, who refused to act, de-
claring that he had obtained
stronger moral lessons from at
tending the thetre than from
any sermons he had heard il
church.
Today the theatrical profes
sion is huge industry in whicl
more than SIoo,ooo,ooo is in
vested. There are in the Uuni
ted States over 5000 theatres
not counting the 10000 or NOR

States must insist" on the accept

of Mexico. is an ultimatum. Unless
the Huerta delegates yield, mediation
will end.
This is the firm determination OF
the United States as II was conveyed
to the mediators Friday. Ambassa-
dor Da Cana of Brazil and Minister
Suarez of Chile asked the American
delegates II their position had
changed in view of the Carranza-Villa
split. and the reply was in the mega
tive.
1t was an informal talk. but served
to advise the mediators that the pub
lished statements of the American and
Huerta delegates. with their opposite
views on the type of man to be Sc
lected for provisional President, de-
fined the unalterable attitude OF the
American government.
Just what the policy of the United
States would be in the event of the
failure of mediation or what disposi'
ton ii would make of the American
troops at Vera Cruz is unknown even
to the American delegates.
The Huerta commissioners say
they do not know what course OF ac-
tion General Huerta may pursue.
Those conversant with the Ameri'
can viewpoint. however. believe Presi'
dent Wilson is determined that. mas
much as there could not be pacifica
lion In Mexico unless the constitution
alists accepted any plan that might be
adopted here. the interests OF peace
would not be conserved by continu'
ance OF mediation negotiations.
The mediators held no formal ses-
sion Friday because Minister Naon
OF Argentina stopped in Washington
instead OF returning directly from the
universities where he has been receiy-
ing honorary degrees.

has brought home to the President as

saner basis than appears TO prevail at

the activity of red flag agitation, are
responsible for the growth OF this con-

the radical labor agitators from pre-

would work havoc In the Industrial
