Holds Ordinance
Not Applicable to
Empress Theater

THE plan of allowing patrons 70 gather
upon the sidewalk, blocking both the
exits and entrance. is far more danger
Gus in case of panic or fire than the
method used by the management of the
Empress theater. L do not think this
case to come within the ordinance,
and find the defendant not guilty"
This was tine nucleus of Police Magis-
trate Charles Fosters decision In the
case brought against w. Ledoux, mana
ger of the Empress theater. in which 1t
was charged that a city ordinance was
being violated. providing that the pas
sageways of picture shows shall not be
INSTRUCTED.
Il visited the theater i'm question and
carefully looked at the entrance and exits
as well as other parts of the building "
declared the magistrate, and l think
the structure is as nearly fireproof as
1t is possible to make 1t. want 1t I'M
1erstood, however that i am not holding
he ordinance invalid nor determining
shy other case than the one at bar
There might be other moving picture
theaters in the city which would, upon
investigation. come within the ordi-
nance"
City Attorney Rine is preparing for in
PRODUCTION at the next city council meet

British sailors from the Sailor Prince who lost their lives diving overheard with their mates, rescuing children.
 Tn addition to the 9 drowned many were wounded in the panic: several of the most serious were taken into the submarine and treated by our ship doctor, who went aboard at the invitation of the submarine com mander."
 Mrs. Egan said she witnessed many heart rending scenes.
 One woman" she said who lost her three children by throwing them overheard. went stark mad In the steerage was a troop of Japanese acrobats. One of them, a woman with an infant child, was seen almost ex- hausted. trying to cling to the sides of the ship. She was surrounded by many others A rope was thrown into her hands, but looking up she ex- claimed in English:
 Don't mind me. I belong to no one and have no one to care for me. Help some one else
 With these words she. passed the rope to another woman and with her babe in her arms, sank from sight
 The rescued British sailors proved heroes. They not only tried to quen the panic, but succeeded in rescUing many persons. Afterward they helped the wounded.
 "Only one shot was fired by the submarine. She remained alongside for five hours. or until all possible rescues had been made and the wounded had been attended She then disappeared under the water and we proceeded to Alexandria, without fur ther incident.
 T did not learn the name or desig- hating number but she was one of the largest boats of her kind I had ever seen. The captain of the Sailor Prince told me that he recognized her as the same boat that sank his ship some hours previous although at that time he said she flew the Austrian colors Her deck armament consisted of two twelve pounders, which were in plain sight as she came alongside the Barulos. The Sailor Prince, her captain said, was given 20 minutes to get her creys into tte boats before she was sunk by nine shots fired into ] her hold

The report, which added that a night attack on the mining town was feared, resulted in a flying squadron of 700 Carranza infantrynen, accom- panied by several machine guns and two pieces of field artillery being en- trained for the scene.
 The last report received here of the trains movement was that 1t had reached Calabasas, fifteen miles north of Nacozari. Nine Americans were reported to be in tine town.
 The Villa force which attacked Ma cozari was believed to be part of General Jose Rodriguez's army. The attackers were said to have burned the southern terminal of the tram way owned by the Montezuna Cop per Company and also a bridge a short dista1ce north of Naeozari.

 Thus says the correspondent. the main object of the Austro-Germans, which was the rounding up of the Serbian army, may definitely be de- clared to have failed.

PARIS. Nov. 2S.-General Joseph Gallieni had been at his desk in the ministry of war since five o'clock this morning when he received the Associated Press correspondent four hours later
 What are the reasons for my un- shakeable confidence in victory" re- peated the minister of war. They are those of every Frenchman. Our enemies have been powerless to at tain the essential object of every war-the destruction of the adver- sary's forces. In September, 1914, when we arrested and repulsed the German offensive, the game was lost by the enemy"
 How do you deduce that the Teu- tonic empires failed from that mo- ment? asked the correspondent

 General Gallieni tonight outlines the position of the TeutOnic armies as he views it.
 Caught in a vise" he said, the central powers are struggling des- peratev to free themselves from it's grip The attack upon our front along the Yser. the offensive against he Russians and the campaign in the Balkans have been the convul- sions of a beast at bay"
 Alluding to the character of the German efforts in these campaigns, General Gallieni said:

 "On one occasion the emperor went into the advanced trenches at a time when a considerable infantry fire was going on. He seemed to enjoy the sensation of being under fire.
 His majesty spoke to a veteran from the oral provinces and asked him how many fights he had seen.
 Seven was the answer. The sol dier had fought at Port Arthur and in the present war took part in the battles of Lodz and Gorlice.
