CARRANZA CLOSES
PORT OF VERA CRUZ.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Provis-
ional President Carranza has ordered
the port at Vera Cruz closed, accord
American Government.
Gen. Funston transmitted long
report on the complications which
might result, but the State Depart
ment officials were not inclined to re-
gard it as an unfriendly action.
During the Huerta regime, Vera
Cruz was similarly closed, but for
eign vessels paid little attention to
the order. CarranZa'S decree would
prevent Mexican ships putting in at
Vera CRUZ and, if enforced in an un-
friendly way, might exact heavy pen
alties from foreign vessels entering
any other Mexican port after they
touched at Vera Cruz.
Gen. Funston called attention to the
possibility that foreign ship owners
desiring not to incur the displeasure
of the Carranza administration might
hesitate to send cargos to Vera Cruz,
diminishing the food supply of the
city.
In some quarters there was dis
position to regard Carranza's atti-
tude as one of resentment against the
continued occupancy of Vera Cruz by
American troops, but the State De-
partment officials did not share this
view An interruption in railway
traffic between Vera Cruz and Mexico
City recently occurred, but as soon as
Gen. Funston announced that he
would keep all rolling stock in Vera
Cruz until traffic was resumed, the
Mexican authorities explained that
they were using trains to transport
troops and Immediately adjusted the
schedules.
Paul Fuller, personal representa-
tive of President Wilson, is due in
Mexico City, September 1, to discuss
with the government the questions
relating to the American occupancy
of Vera Cruz, as we'll as differences
between Carranza and Villa.
Although Administration officials
have not announced their position in
any formal way, it is generally under
stood that recognition will be with
held until a complete agreement be-
tween the two chieftains has been
reached and arrangements made for
a constitutional election.

THEATRICAL

| For the opening of B. F. Keith's
regular season next Sunday after
noon, the management has arranged
to offer one of the biggest attractions
in the amusement world and one sure
to create sensation in Cincinnati
and vicinity. AT great expense and
considerable difficulty the B. F. Keith
booking Office has secured M. and
Mrs. Vernon Castle themselves for
one week only, in their own and
original series of world-famous soci-
ETY. dances. Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon
Castle are known in every city and
town in America. They are the orig
inatOrs of the present craze for the
tango, hesitation and the one-step.
All the new dances now in vogue can
be traced back to the Castles. Amer
ica's greatest society, and even mem
bers of the European aristocracy,
have bowed before the grace of the
young couple, who, by their charm
and talents, have won for themselves
an enviable position in the hall of
fame of the amusement world To
have secured the Castles for vaude-
vile is unquestiOnably a great
achievement for the 3. F. Keith Vau-
deville Theatres, and the Il. F. Keith
Theatre in Cincinnati will be the first
house to greet this pair on their tour
of the country in the Keith houses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Castle will bring with
them all their old dances, and many
of their new creations. 1t is predict
ed that their new dancess will become
the rage for the coming season. They
have two new dances that will re-
place the tango, and which possesses
all the grace and thrills of this dance,
but which will not be open to censor
by even the most fastidious.
Surrounding Mr.. and Mrs. Castle
will be an all-star Keith show, and
one sure to create great amount of
enthusiasm. There will be the Salon
Singers in glorious program of
classical and popular music. Char
lotte Ravonscroft, the beautiful and
talented singing violiniste, will be an
other big feature on this program.
The comedy numbers, and there
will be several, will be offered by
Flanagan & Edwards, the famous
laugh-makers of vaudeville; Van Ho-
ven, the nut" magician, and Comfort
e King, the screamingly funny enter
tainers.
No animal act in the world offers
as much genuine entertainment as
Durkin's Animals. Mr.. Durkin has
trained his beasts in such wonder
full manner that they perform their
entire act without any direction on
the stage, and they produce the ia
nous DOG Village The principal
- -
is Bower, "the drunken dog"
Augmenting this great show will
be motion pictures of news events in
and about Cincinnati, bringing the
beautiful Queen City before the eyes
of the audience as they sit in their
chairs. From all indication, this
opening program of the B. F. Keith
season should be one of the greatest
vaudeville shows ever seen in that
city. (adv)

MOVIES" LIABLE TO EN-
COUNTER DIFFICULTIES.

Moving picture houses are liable
to be confronted by another difficult
ty soon, owing to the European war;"
said manager Robt. Shea, of the Co.
lumbia Theatre, yesterday. 1T is the
matter of producing the carbOns
which are an important part of the
moving picture machine. The car
bons are imported in large quantities
from Germany, and they are of
course, impossible to get now, and
the limited supply in the hands of
American dealers will soon be ex-
hausted. We use on an average one
day and where we have a serial
picture of four or five reels it often
requires two carbons. l do not look
for a very serious shortage for the
present, but, taking into considera-
ton the large lumber of picture
houses all over the United States,
with the consequent heavy drain upon
the stocks of the supply houses, we
may in few months be confronted
with very serious state of affairs.
Not only is the carbon matter one of
our stumbling blocks, but there are
other things that have to be imported
from Germany that come in the line
of picture work. Taken all together,
it is not pleasant outlook for the
business

Chicago Murder Laid TO 0isappointsd
Reooar-victin,'s Husband Freed.

Chicago Feb. 25.-The refusal OF Mrs.
Elizabeth Healy to feed "a tramp who
called at her home. 2449 Lincoln avenue.
is believed to have cost her life yester-
day. She was found early In the after
noon. by her husband. Edward Healy.
druggist on North Clark street and
East Austin avenue, lying with her
throat cut on the floor OF the summer
porch where she had been washing. A
bread knife and blood soaked mans
canvas glove lay near her. She died at
st. Joseph's hospital an hour later.
Healy was taken into custody by ten
detectives under the direction OF Cap
tain Max Danner of the Naxfield ave.
nue. station. He was released. however.
after he proved to the satisfaction OF
the police that he could not have COM
mitted the crime. According to the
story he told the police, he came home
expecting to eat lunch with his wife.
She was not in the apartment, how
ever. The furious barking "a a TSSsss dog,
believed to be the only witness to the
tragedy. attracted him to the porch In
the rear of the apartment.
The presence of the mans glove on
the porch led the police to believe tho
murderer took precautions to prevent
leaving finger prints. They took q
baby's crib. however. which was stand
ing at one side Of the kitchen in the
hope that it might bear a finger mark
of the fugitive. This crib was broken
and bore mute evidence OF the struggle
which probably took place.
