ARNOLD SCORES PERSONAL
TRIUMPH IN RAFFLES

All hall to Edward Arnold. The
deservedly popular leading man Of
the Bijou Stock Company scored a
personal triumph last night by his
wonderfully finished performance OF
| 'Raffles," which cxcelled in merit any
Accomplishment OF his extended stay
In Richmond. Since 1t was suggested
some weeks ago, and quickly seconded
and subsequently announced that he
would play the fascinating hero of
Hornungs stories, the anticipation of
his admirers has been eager And
that their anticipation was far out
weighed by realization is convincing
proof of ability that Is incontroverti-
BILE. The captivating rascal whose
adventures form the plot OF the play
named for him mas bee n Interpreted
for us before by Miller Keat and the
late Kyrie Bellew. one of the most
famous Of English speaking actors.
Never having see the latter's perform
ance. Mr. Arnoid's Rallies is all the
more remarkable for its close adj
herence to the character as delineated
by its creator. He played with abso-
lutte sureness. exceptional accuracy
and admirable restraint. and at no
ipoint did his own interest in his task
| lag for an instant. His uncommonfy
tasteful and well-fitfing clothes and
his strikingly handsome physiog1omy

walking aione--for his health. 1t was
serious matter--too serious for
frivolous companionship.
The distance, as the doctor had
said. was about three miles. On his
way, just to relieve the monotony,
Smith purchased and absorbed:
One glass Of beer.
Five cents worth OF hct peanuts.
Three hunks of chocolate lslot ma

One penny cocoanut cake.
Another glass of beer.
One piece OF cheese ffreel.
One picked onion ffree).
One nve-cent red banana tfruit-

Smith timed it nicely. He discarded
the skin of the red banana just as be

Washington, Aug. 12.-President
Wilson, back in Washington, was IN
personal control of the Mexican and
European international situations to-
day.
Mexico distinctly took precedence,
for the time, over Europe.
This weeks regular Friday cabinet
meeting was called off today. 1t was
understood the president wanted to
have personal conference with his
department heads to have his plans
fully formulated before spreading
them on the table.
The Carranza agency today had an
unconfrmed rUmOr that Zapatistas
had blown up a passenger train at
Jalapa, Mexico, killing fifty pas
sengers in the accident, and that the
trains military escort was muir
dered.

day of a scathing aTraignment of the
Latin-AmeTican conference, the
White House and financial interests
on both sides of the border, written
by Gen. Neriberto lara, Constitution
aIist.
Conditions at Vera Cruz and
throughout CaTTanzista territory
generally were considered better
than was supposed day or two ago.
Much of earlier uneasiness was at
tributed to false published reports
that more warships had been ordered

stead, were to be held in southern
waters, within easy striking distance
of the Mexican coast, but not to be
sent there unless more urgent rea-
sons developed for such a step.

Not made public in full The story
that an organized movement existed
among Mexicans for acquisition of
strip of U. S. territory along interna-
tiOnal line and for general slaughter
of Americans there was not deemed
an impOssibility-though war depart
ment had not announced receipt of
such an account from Funston-but
that such plan was without back
ing of any responsible leader was
known with almost absolute GER
tainty.
Funston did say that Texas poll
ticians were playing Mexicans off
against one another to fight formers
own battles. This, coupled with gen.
eral lawlessness due to prolonged
revolution throughout Mexico, had
produced state Of chaos, it was own
ed, which could be dealt with only by
most drastic methods.
Rushing to border territory of
practically whole of the mobile reg
Ular military force in country was
considered an extremely likely de-
velOpment, to be looked for at any
hour.
AS for armed American interven-
ton in Mexico, it was stated on high
authority, corroborated by known
terms of Pan-American address to
the Mexican fractional leaders, that
no such step would be taken except
in one eVent-an outbreak of viO-
lence against foreigners.
Newport, R. l., Aug. 12.-The ar
mOred cruiser Montana is here today,
gathering marines from the various
battleships, their destination it is
stated unoficiaIly, being Mexican
waters.
