Dramatic ESCAPE.

Mile. Gabrielle Robinne was once
called upon to make dramatic es-
cape from castle in which she had
been imprisoned, for film. The cas-
tie, surrounded by moat, was
searched for a small window which
would suit the purpose. At last one
was found and the actress assumed
her position within for the rehearsal.
The boat OF rescuers put off acrbss
the moat, the rope ladder was thrown
up and the hooked end duly caught
upon the sill. In due course, the her
oipe appeared at the window, bent
upon her escape. The bars, which
had been improvised for the purpose,
were removed, and the prisoner thrust
her shoulders through the aperture.
But she became wedged halfway.
One of the. party below scaled the
ladder and endeavored to assist her
from the strange predicament, while
on the inner side two other actresses
lent assistance. Mile. Robinne was
unable to extend any personal assist
ance, being convulsed with laughter
At last, after considerable pricing,
pushing and tugging, she came
through with a bewildering sudden
ness. The man on the ladder was
precipitated into the moat, while the
actress tumbled unceremoniously into
the waiting boat, the trio below break
ing her fall slightly, though she struck
one of the seats somewhat violently.

DRAMA OF THE SEA.
"Neptune's Daughter" a Thriller
of the Films.

Popular Production-AI Ellison in
Play That Is Destined to
Have Long Run.

"Neptune's Daughter" is a phantasv
OF the sea. Annette Kellermann,
known the world over as a swimmer
and diver, is the star of the play,
which is given in seven reels and 500
scenes.
The pictures were made last win
ter on the picturesque coast of Der.
muda, with its rugged rocks, sandy
beaches, dark caves, turbulent waters
and semitropical verdure. 1t took
three months to complete the pictures
and the cost was enormous.
The story Of the play, in brief, is
this: Annette is the daughter of Fa.
Their Neptune, and he and his 40
other daughters are seen disporting
themselves in the water. Annette
and her little sister, Angela, are
caught in net. Annette escapes, but
Angela is dragged ashore, hidden in
seaweed, and is wounded on the rocks.
Annette finds her dying and swears
vengeance on the fishermen. OBJ

her into girl, she sets out to pun
ish those responsible for her sisters
death.
After a long series of adventures,
in which the king who rules over the
fishermen falls in love with her, she
loses the charm and has to remain
girl and becomes the queen of the
handsome young king who, with the
help of Annette, has overthrown a

U. S. DETERMINED TO AVOID COM
PLICATIONS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-On "the
intent" of the Turks at SMYRNA in fir.
ing on the launch of the cruiser Tenn
essee depends the outcome of the cpl
SOde.
Acting Secretary of State Lansing,
| thursday night said the instructions
OF the department to Ambassador Nor
genthau were to make inquiries" con-
corning the affair and advise this
Government fully.
He drew distinction between max
ing inquiries" and asking for an Eek
planatiOn," although he admitted that
under the instructions the Ambassa-
dor would be expected to find out how
and why the firing occurred.
President Wilson conferred Thurs
day night with Secretary Daniels, of
the Navy Department, and Acting Sec
rotary Lansing. The President sum-
moned the two Secretaries to learn
i there had been any word from Tur-
key shedding light on the reasons for
firing. Ii there is continued delay, it
is probable that the American Govern
ment will ask the British Admiralty
for the courtesy of it's wireless in the
Mediterranean to reach the American
ships.
Officials of the State Department
emphasized the determination of this
Government to avoid becoming involv-
ed in the European war. They indi-
cate their intention to go to almost
any length to avoid complications with
Turkey.
This is interpreted to mean that in
the event of an open rupture this Gov
eminent would take no aggressive
action. Its course would probably be
to get all Americans out Of Turkish
territory quickly. Inasmuch as the
United States has assumed charge of
the diplomatic interests of the allies,
its activities would probably be eX-
tended to getting out all Christians,
even if in doing so it had to make use
of armed forces.
The belief is that when that is &C
complished the United States will
withdraw it's ships and allow the
whole matter to hang fire until after
the close of the European war. Then
it will present its bill for indemnities,
and, if necessary TO use force to OBJ
tain satisfaction, will do it at that
time, when it will be possible to evade
having a part in the world war.

CARRANZA HOSTILE TO U. S.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Carranza

City, Consul Silliman telegraphed
the State Department to-day.
He said that Mexico City is in a
state of unrest and that disquieting
rumors are aflOat.
There is no Disgusting at the State
Department now the fact that Car
rama and all of his chief lieutenants
are bitterly hostile to the United
States.
1t is because of this knowledge that
the State Department agents in Mex
leo have supported Villa. The latter
at all times has been friendly to the
United States and has insisted that,
unless Mexico receives the co-opera-
ton of this Government it could not
hope to rehabilitate itself.

ATTACK Today CLAUSE
Arguing Winnebago johnson Case
May Finish Today.

Chicago. May 15.-Arguing in the
superior court on the motion to dis
solve the injunction which prevents
George johnson pitching for the
Kansas City Federals, counsel for the
outlaws attacked the ten day. clause
in baseball contract on the ground
that it operates to the interest Of only
one party to the contract. The Kan
sas City club argued that the clause
made Johnson's contract with the
Cincinnati Nationals invalid, and also
charged that the latter club broke the
contract itself in filming johnson for
lack of condition.
Counsel for the Cincinnati club ridi-
culed Johnson's affidavit in which the
pitcher said he was frightened into
signing the Cincinnati contract. Tney
contended that Johnson had oppor-
tunity to verify or disprove the
President Hermann '.'predictions
that the Federal league would not
last long," Arguments may be COM
pleted today.

Some New Witnesses for the State
Have Been Discovered.

New York, May 15.-New wit
nesses for the state were waiting to-
day to be called to testify at the sec
ond trial Of Charles Becker, former
police lieutenant, on charges Of hav-
ing instigated the murder OF Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler.
With the conclusion of testimony
of Harry Vallon today it was expect
ed that District Attorney Whitman
would call several witnesses who did
not testify at the first Becker trial.
Vallon is the last of the three prin-
cipal witnesses and the prosecution
probably will complete its case on
Monday or Tuesday of next week
when the defense will open.
From the line of cross-examinatio1
followed by Martin T. Manton, chief
counsel for the defense, close observ-
ers of the case today believed that
Becker would take the stand in a
final effort to convince the jury of
his innocence.
