COUNCIL TO DEMAND
ALL AIR BRAKE CARS

It was announced at the city hall
today that the council is considering
passage OF an ordinance requiring
that all street cars operating in the
city Of Rock Island be equipped with
air brakes. The move is understood
to be proposed because Of the failure
Of the Tri-City Railway company to
meet the request Of the council for
double truck cars On the Long View
line. The proposed ordinance would
compel the withdrawal Of the single
truck cars now operated on the Long
View line and the substitution Of the
double truckers, as the former are not
equipped with air brakes, while the
latter are.

THE ESCAPE IS NEW
 COLUMBIA OFFERING

Tonight will see the first presenta- ton in Arizona of one of the~ most widely discussed plays in the past twenty years, "rhe Escape" by Paul Armstrong This dramatic story of the east side of New York city, is founded upon the question of eugen- ics. Ire play, while it deals with scientific mating of the human race
 is a gripping love story with a peep at the other side of the wall
 The story is of a girl who escapes from hovel in the slums to fall into snare even greater when she ac- Cepts the friendship of a senator and is only saved by the love of a
 good man who is attracted to her by
 her beauty and position. The eu- genie feature of the play is the ex : ample set by the offspring of a bru- tai father drink craZed and half de-
 mented who has imparted to his off spring the defects in his physical makeup.
 Paul Armstrong. who wrote the Deep Purple, Jimmy Valentine and | other plays dealing with the under world has made The Escape one
 of the most virile and gripping dram as to be staged in the decade past Mir. Redmond has taken much pains to provide for '.The Escape" a pro- duction that will lend much local color to it and bring out the scenes cf the slums of New York in which l it is set.
 1 All of the regular cast is employed | iE good parts and several augmenting 1 members will be seen in the charac- teriZation.

SAINT AND SINNER"
 NEW ELLIS OFFERING

Tonight's offering of the Ellis Mu- sical company at the Coliseum will be the much discussed George Ade comedy, Saint and Sinner and, al- though the play. which was first pre- scented in Boston, was a trifle too risque for the city culture, in it's present form it is said to be dis appointing in it's lack of naughty lines and situations.
 The comedy is of the inimitable Ade kind while the situations are ludicrous in the extreme, the plot Of the play giving great chance for some excellent comedy. It is a mix up between a very dignified parsor a tutor of children, and an up-to- date lady who owns a string of race horses, the lady mistaking the parsor for a newly engaged horse trainer and the parson mistaking the Lady for the mother of sevral children ht has ben engaged to care for.

F|ELO|NG-JOYCE IN
 DOUBLE ATTRACTION

A strong double feature at the Empress Monday and Tuesday again finds the Empress with a strong daubie program. with two of the screen favorites taking leading parts. Romaine Fielding. who is favorite with the Phoenix people, will appear in new role, as in this picture ne has turned his thoughts toward com edy, which will show that his talen is not all in one direction. Beside this Kalem we present Sheridan's fla
 nous four-act comedy, featuring one of the best known actresses of the present time, in the person of Alice Joyce, and when her name is men,
 toned there is little else to say. In this great feature entitled, "A School for Scandal" she is ably supported by Guy COombs and number of other actors, who are of no mean reputation As in most cases of scandal, the facts are all founded on falsehood, which make many com
 plications which look to be of a serious nature, but something un- forseen happens at the right moment to help the unfortunate ones out, and at last all ends happily. This is one comedy that will keep the audience interested from start to finish, and
 is one that should not be missed.

At the Plaza

The adaptation Of the great plays oe Shakespeare to the motion picture has given an opportunity for the producers to put before rich and poor alike, the full interpretation of the works of the master playwright of all time. Possibly no one of all the great dramas of the Bard of Avon shows better than A Win ter's Tale,' which is scheduled for the Plaza Theater today and tonight
 The great play has been produced in three reels of interesting, excit- ing, beautiful pictures. The exploits of Antigonius and Leonetes, the burning of the ship-old- fashioned though it was-all give the picture great interest In addition the Kalem single, ''The Race With the Limited. "Fanay's Melodrama.'' and Lucky Hoodoo' making six reels. Watch for the great war picture King vs Kaiser on Thursday.

RED MEN EASILY
 MADE GAPT.VES

Haines, Nov. 21-S. J. Weitzman, one of the pioneer merchants of Haines left on the last Humboldt for Seattle, where he expects to spend the winter, Mrs. Weitzman and their adopted daughter, Miss Jeanette, have preceded him.
 On Friday evening ChIkat Tribe No. g, of the Improved Order of Redmen, initiated five pale faces into the mysteries of Redmauship, and when they attempted to adjourn and go home, they made glorious failure of the adjournment Why? Because when they attempted to escape by the doors, their passage was blocked by about forty pale faces, of both sexes, armed with sandwiches, cake and coffee; talk about surprises! Well, the Red men as a rule, are not easily sur prised, but this time they were talk en completely surprised, and i'm mediately surrendered uncondition- ally and retreated back into the hall with their captOrs, where they spent the rest of the night, up to 3 8. m. in dancing and social en- joyment. Dr. L. S. Keller and Miss Madeline Hockett furnished some excellent music, which contributed to the pleasure of the occasion.
 The lunch which was furnished by the good ladies of Haines, was all that could De desired. At two o'clock a. m., after the thanks Of the tribe was rendered to the Ia- dies, to whom the tribe was indebt- ed for the pleasant surprise party the captiTes were released from captivity, but the Redmen unani- nOusIy asked to be captured again 1 in the same way, and everybody re paired to their tepees to sleep the balance of the night.

Saved the Situation.

A certain famous statesman, when a young man, was for some time a clerk in one of the courts of justice. In those days his temper sometimes got the better of him. but on one occasion, at least, his wit save. him from dis grace. This was when questioning a witness the latter made an impudent retort, whereupou the clerk exclaimed angrily:
 "If you are not more respectful ] shall Kick you out of the room"
 "Young man." said the judge, inter rupting the proceedings, "I would have you understand that this Is a dIgniied court of justice and that if there Is any kicking to be done the court will do 1t"
 "Ah. you see" said the future states man to the witness, of you are moi more respectful to me the court will kick you out of the room. So be very careful, sir"
