Such is the description Of the person
who will be nominated Mt the Republl-
can national convention in Chicago dur
ing the week beginning June z, 1916, by
the. leaders of the party who for two
days have been sitting In conclave at
the Willard.

which caught and held the members
OF the national committee.
Notable was the hesitancy with which
many approached the name of Theodore
Roosevelt and the. emphasis that was
given TO 1t In others. But there was in
variable apDlause from the multitudes.
There was also applause for the name of
Hughes. And the names of Roosevelt
and Hughes were the only ones that
were spoken in anything like audible
tones at the harmony banquet Monday
night.
For the first time a system of ap-
portionment of delegates to the conven-
tion was agreed upon. which follows
the Republican vote IN the country as
basis instead of Congressional rep

GIRLS FLEE THROUGH
SHEETS OF FLAMES

NEWARK, N. j., Dec, 15.-Fire of un-
discovered origin. that started in shed
used for storing liquid rubberized
cement. destroyed the main four-story
building of the Bqyden Shoe Manufac-
turing Company M South Canal street
today.
A number of girls, terrified when they
saw the smoke curling through the win
dows of the building, rushed to the fire
escape. and then SLID down the escape
from the second floor through a wall
of name. They escaped injury.
All personal effects of the thirty or
more girls In the building at the time
were lost. as we'll as the belongings Of
some hundred and fifty men who were
already at work when the blaze was
discovered, shortly before o'clock.
Three alarms were turned In. The
spread of the DANES threatened a four
story annex OF the company on Com
mcrCial street. and several other build
ings in the vicinity. So rapid was the
spread OF the flames that the employees
had barely time 10 get out Of the
building before i was envelOped In suf-
f0catihC smoke.

dlsheVe!ed and painting grown-ups were
tic owners of the place. Perhaps they
would nut him in iail for trespassing
there. Spudsy shrank back into an
anPle of his quarter deck. and tried 10
look as invisible as possiOle.
He saw the elder of the two men--a
gray-maned. Shastly faced old fellow
release the younger man whom he had
been Srasping bv the collar. He saw
the old fellow drop on his Knees and dig
IN the timber debris like a dog that Is
!digGing for wood chucks. He saw
him push his hand downward into the
mass of ShaVlngs and shingles and
Krope for somethin" Then he saw him
OF chips and scantlng ends still ad-
hered.
The man lifted the trapdoor part
way. showed the younger man in
It after him. and lowered the trapdoor
above them so carefully that the scraps
OF wood were not disturbed. 10 all
inters and purposes the woodward was
as { had always been. No sign OF
trapdoor was visible from overhead.
SpCdsy stared, goggle-eyed. Here was
tho most delightful mystery OF the CEN
turtles. The woodward was not only a
pirate ship. 1t was treasure cave, aS
well. Cautiously he climbed down from
the quarterback and made for the spot
where the trapdoor had been raised
ana lowered. He. bent over, the trap.
Then he saw a shadow fall across the
debris and he looked up. Over him
stood a man-tall, well dressed; his firm
mouth just now smiling fHendlily down
"DiGginG for gold. Johnny?' he asked; q;
pleasantly: and at sound of the kind
voice Spudsy's fright vanished.
No ,,. sT ra answered ,na t,.cn the Ssro G0y them

quick interest.
Into the ground" responded Spud-
sy. They beat it into here through
that place in the fence an one OF 'em
an old geczer with gray hair-he digs
here a minute an then he ups with a
trapdoor an down they scoots."
Max Lamar was on his knees, fran
tically pushing the chips and shingles
to left and wright.
HE boosts up the trap with his right
hand" continued Spudsy. delighted with
the interest his words evoked. An
on the back of his hand they was big

The Red Circlc!' muttered Lamar;
and just then he found the ring Of the
trapdoor.
Heaving with all his strength, he
threw open the trap. revealing the
mouth of a slanting passageway be-
meath.
Circle Jim's hiding place" he said
aloud; preparing to descend.
Then he paused, as If in thought.
Presently he took out one OF his cards
and scribbled on it: Need Aid. Follow
Boy"
He handed the card to the wondering
Spudsy Next he fshed in his trous-
ers' pocket for dime, which he also
handel to the youngster.
Take this card to the first policeman
you can find" he said. Lead him
here, and then go somewhere and have
an ice cream cone debauchery. Hurry
now! Chase!'
AS Spudsy scampered of on his mis-

stepped down through the trapdooT
into the passage beyond; advancing
cautiously, step by step, through the
darkness.

PHOTOPLAYS AND

Japanese Actor Has
Succeeded In the
Finn Despite His
Lingudl Limits. :
By GARDNER MAOK.

Much interest has been aroused
from that feature Of the photoplay
which has been called "tho unlvcr-
sal language Of the drama"-thc
ability of the people of any country
to thoroughly understand the pic
lures and plays of any other coun-
try The fact that the photoplay
does not deal with languages, but is
dependent solely on the excellence OF
the acting, makes it possible for the
stars Of all countries TO be the dra-
nntic property of all countries.
Frehch, German. italian artists are
we'll known now In this country
better known than thoy would have
boen had they made their only ap-
poarances here on the stage. Some
OF them have never appeared here on
the stage-MaN Linder, for instance,
the Frenchfnan who Is probably the
best known light comedian In the
world,
The Japanese are now coming
forward with their actors and ac-
tresseS and motion picture audiences
have become rather familiar with
the work of one of these, Sessue
Hayakawa. He Is a member Of the
the Mutual forces before that, And
while he has appeared In many Jap
anese pictures, he has also figured
prominently in Indian dramas.
Hayakawa was born in Tokyo,
Japan. nearly twenty-seven years
ago. His family planned that he
should be educated for a high posi-
tlon in the Japanese navy, and with
this in mind sent him to tho Jap
anese naval school. Hayakawa's
tor. Otto Kawakimi. and as the
young man was fascinated by the
stage, he entered his uncle's COM
pany, in which the great celebrated
japanese actress, Nine. Yacco. was
appearing; s,p HayakSwa appeared in
artistic in the Shintoma IA and the
Teikoltu Ia, two leading theaters in
When Nine. Yaeco and her COM
pany started on their international
tour, young HayakaWa accompanied
them to this country. He realized
that he would have to have a great
or education, as he planned to In
troduce the American drama in Ja-
pan. With this i'll mind he studied
English drama and literature at the
University of Chicago for one year
and translated a number of the
English classics into Japanese.
Returning to Japan, he appeared
IN the Japanese version of the In
sen dramas and Shakespeare, maN-
Ing great success as Othello. lie
returned again to this country ana
studied and played all along the
Pacific Coast at the head OF the
japanese organization. In Nine.
Sacco's company at the time he first
Joined it was a little eight-year-oid
actress, Tsurec Aaki, who was
eventually to become the wife OF
Hay akawa.
Hayakawa has discovered that in
speaking Japanese he cannot get
the proper facial expression, so
even in his Japanese company he
speaks broken English in dramatic
scenes. Hayakawa is now at the
head of n large japanese theaJer
company in Los Angeles and Is hav-
ing a beautiful theater built for his
organization by the wealthy Japan
csc merchants of that city.

while in other sections it's frst result
at least has been very considerable
financial gain.
THE outbreak Of the war found this
country in a peculiarly fortunate agri-
cultural situation. The year 1914 WITT
messed an unusually large production of
a number OF staple crops.

made Il possible for the country to meet
the greatly increased foreign demand
aud still to retain enough at home to
satisfy the normal domestic needs.
"A comparison of exports OF the year
with those Of the preceding year shows
that the exports Of horses and mules
increased from t4.0OO.OOO to 81, ,OOO, 900.
meats and dairy products from $l46,-
100000 to S220.00O.O00, wheat land wheat
flour from $500 900 to H2s. .OO0, 900, corn

cotton decreased from &6lO,OO0.OOO to
S576, 900 OOO. and tobacco from $54.0O0.0O0
to $4,000, 900. These products comprise
nearly nlne-tenths OF the total agricul-
tural exports"

important measures necessary for the
betterment of agriculture. These meas
ures Inyolve:'
Legislation designed to promte the
better handling and storage of farm
products and the trading on the basis of

their future improvement and use.
More effective control over the pro-

Provision for a well-balanced en-
