Efforts Of Conyention to Recon-

Seem Fruitless

Ell PASo. Texas. Nov. 6.--Ex-
cepting a brief dispatch stating that
there had been fighting between
troops OF Gen. Francisco Villa and
Gen. venustiano Carranza, south tof
Aguascalientes. no details of the sit
uation there, were received early to-.
day. The villista troops are those
the constitutionalist chief has been
massing, about Auguascalientes ever
since the peace convention met there
to settle factional; differences.
The impression here Is that the
breach between the Carranza and
the villa-Zapata faction of the con-
stitutionalist party cannot now be
bridged. Carranza has demanded as
an essential condition TO his own
resignation that Villa and Gen.
Emiliano Zapata be retired from mil
itary activity. This the convention
has not done. Another long period
OF fighting Is now expected.

The church Is one OF the historic
.spots OF the northwest, having been
founded In 1888, when there were
about 30 French Canadian families
settled along the River Raisin.
The celebration, which should
have occurred last year, was post
poned on account OF the illness OF
Rev. Jos. Joos, its pastor. who ulti-
mately died of consumption In his
native Belgium. The celebration OF
a new pastor rendered the postpon-
ment OF the celebration unavoidable.
The church numbers now several
hundred families and half dozen
churches In the surrounding coun-
tries have sprung from this historic
institution. II was one OF the first
French-speaking churches In the
northwest and continues services In

men from as far east as Ontaria and
as far south as Kentucky, many of
whom were, as children, brought up
within Its walls. will be present at

Atlanta motion picture lovers are be-

actual colors and tints of nature. They
are not hand colored. but show the col
ors exactly as they appear when the
pictures were being taken. The leaves
on the trees take green. A woman is

Horrors Of Absinthe
Portrayed in Drama
King Baggot Studied Types of Paris
ian Underworld Before He
Undertook Role.

Atlanta physicians who saw King
Baggot in the wonderful photoplay,
"Absinthe," last week. were intensely
interested in his portrayal of the hor-
rors through which the confirmed alb
sinthe fiend is forced to go. They
say that his depletion is pathologically
correct as well as a dramatic master
piece, and that the film represents prob
ably the most definite idea of the effects
of the French drug curse that has ever
been presented in either drama or liter
ature TO the American people,
When It was decided to produce "Ab,
sinthe,'' King Baggot and Leah Baird
went to Paris to study realistic condi-
tions there. They watched the alb
sinthe fiends of the boulevards and I'M
derworlds with their peculiar methods
of mixing the green drink with sugar
and water, and saw the effects upon
them afterwards. The result is that
'Absinthe" has thrilling realism that
could have been achieved in no other
way. Because of its unusual character
the Savoy management has decided to
bring this picture back for a return en-
gagement and 1t will be seen again on
Tuesday.

Margaret Joslin,
Movie Star, Leaps.
Into Wrong Tank
Sham Rescue Turned into Reality
Saved by Quick Action
of Husband.

Margaret Joslin Todd was the victim
of literal faux pas on her own part
recently. The exigencies of story
called for her appearance in water
scene. There was to be a rescue from
a billowy grave. The weather was cold
and so the big Sutro Baths in San
Francisco were chosen as the locale Of
the scene. These baths cover several
acres and the tanks are of varying
depths.
The popular Essanay character WON
an can not swim, so the rescue" was
to take place in the four-foot tank In
her hurry to get 1t over, Mrs. Todd
omitted to look at the indicated depth,
and before the rest of the enactors
realized what was happening, the sham
rescue resolved itself into the real thing.
In other words. Mrs. Todd ioundered,
screaming and choking, in the sixfoot
tank, shrieking that she was drowning.
Fortunately, she was rescued by her
husband, who plunged into the pool and
dragged his exhausted spouse to the
platform.
