MAKE DEMANDS
UPON HUfRTA
For Information As To Where
abouts of Silliman and
Parks.
United Press Dispatch.


Washington, D. c., May 10
The Administration is becoming
even more alarmed over the fate
of Consul Silliman, despite HUI
erta's promises, for nothing
from the Consul and Presidents
classmate has been received.
1t is believed that he may have
been killed, considering the adj
mission of DR.. Ryan, state de-
partment secret agent that he
was seriously maltreated after
his arrest as a ''spy".
New and peremptory demands,
couched in the most emphatic
language asking for information
as to the fate Of Silliman and
Parks were sent by the govern
ment to Provisional President
Huerta today after long cab
met conference.
IF it develops that Silliman has
been murdered with Huerta's
consent or that the Dictator
ccuntenanced Staying Parks,
the army is expecting active SER
vice.
If the Mexican delegates in
sist that the only question at is
sue is the Tampico incident in
regard to treatment of our flag
and arrest of marines, this will
probably stop the efforts at me-
Citation upon the outset.
1t is reported that the Admin
istration will not interfere with
the Importation of arms through
Tampico and it is considered pos
sible that the border embargo
upon arms will again be lifted.
Because of the uncertainty
regarding Silliman's fate, and
the mystery surrounding the
disappearance of Orderly Parks,
Photographer Sutton and Cor
respondent Dorster, the concen-
tration of the reserve supplies
at Galveston is considered sig
nifcant.
It may be necessary to serve
another time ultimatum upon
Huerta demanding that the fate
of the four be cleared up within
a few hours, but it would be use
less to do so, unless the army
were prepared to back it up.
When asked for an explanation
Secretary of War Garrison SIM
ply said, "There are no troop
movements, but with supplies
only two days from Mexico,
troop movements may be easy.

Rainbow" as well as the Organizations
this actor-manager has presented at
other times have. shown Mr.. Miller's
notable lavishness, not only in mount
Ing but in the salaries paid the players
in his support : For Henry Miller does
not allow the matter of a few dollars
to stand in the way when he finds a
player. who fulfills his ideas of how q
role should be cast
Mr.. Miller Is an artist and q business
man as well and like the great execu-
tive in big business he appreciates
the fact that talent iss costly and pays
generously for tt.r In casting q play the
actor-naanager tries-often a dozen or
more players beArS he finds one to suit
and when he does, makes the position
worth while for the player. In casting
Tne Rainbow much judgment was re-
quired. The dainty comedy roles, re-
quire players who must embody the
parts they play both temperamentally
and physically.
When THE Rainbow" plays its en-
gagement at the Grand, tonight. play
goers will see one of the most perfect
casts Mr.. Miller has ever given one of
his productions. The players seem to
fit their roles SO naturally that the
whole organization works together with
team work" and precision and the
spirit OF the producer who himself plays
the principal role Is everywhere.

face with shoe polish, changed his
clothes and rushed him, through the
mob with half dozen negro prisoners
who were being taken to places of
safety lest the jail doors should be
battered down.
Claimed He Was Innocent.
Since his conviction for the murder
of the child, McClain has claimed that
after he was taken from the jail he
was taken to a place ten miles north
of Topeka, where he was subjected to
third degree tactics and in his excited
waive preliminary hearing, although
he protested that he was innocent.
The defense was conducted by Ed Nc
Keever and j. J. Schenck, then young
lawyers in Topeka and new IN the trial
OF important criminal cases. The
lawyers were convinced their client
was innocent and their persistent ef-
forts have been largely responsible
for the mans final restoration TO cit
