three children and a most of the vii
layers, the majority of whom have
appeared in the Passion Play-tOrn
by conflicting emotions.
They are intensely patriotic and to
them the Fatherland means every
thing yet~they are shocked.
It is almost incohceiVable to them
that Anton Lang, the man who played
the role of Christus, with such feel
ing and spirituaIness, as perhaps no
other person had, should now take
up a gun and seek to sIay his fellow
men-eVen in defense of the Father
land.
For Lang as boy was more quiet
than the other lads he played with in
the streets Of the narrow village and
as he grew older was noted for the
sensitive, almost sanity cast Of his
features.
His father, who played the role of
HerOd, had prepared for SO years in
hopes of playing the role Of the Chris
tUs. But when the ballots were cast
choosing the actors for the 1900 play
the son and not the father was chos-
en- for the coveted role. Anton was
then only % years old.
This performance of the Passion
Play attracted greater number of
visitors than ever had visited the vii
aIge previously and Lang for his re-
markable performance of the difficult
role was heraIded the world over. In
1910 he was reelected to play the
part.
Nevertheless he continued on in his
quiet, unassUming tWay, working as
a potter, the trade he had learned
from his father.
Visitors who f1ocked to his shop to
stare and speak with him always en-
baTTassed him.

afternoon serves to show his obiec-
ton to the 'Hmehght."

The first, and he police think, more
plausible solution of the mysterious
murder, is that Rev. Kaiser was the
victim of finatical prOtagonists OF the
allies because of his prO-German utter

The second theory finds its founda-

become involved in a factonal fight

which ne was pastor and had received
numerous threatening letters as a re-
suit.

fears of a Mexican uprising. Ameri-

sections Of the city, particularly in
the Mexican quarter, and also are on
guard at the international bridge.
Many Mexicans were arrested last
night and early today after ieports,
apparently reliable, had reached the
authorities that Huerta, Orozco and
Carranza adherents were planning to
capture Ell Paso and territory near
the city.
Gen. Persing, commander of the
eighth brigade, ordered out two reg
iments of infantry. Deputy sheriffs
and deputy u. S. marshals were also
sent to the sections of the city where
trouble was feared. About midnight
several shots were heard in the Mex
lean section, but it was learned later
these were fired by officers TO halt
Mexicans who attempted to escape
when ordered TO halt and submit to
search.
Heavy guards were placed about
Gen. Huerta's quarters at Fort Bliss
and every Mexican found in that
city was arrested and held for inves-
tigation. There was considerable
excitement at the international
bridge when American soldiers turn
