Rudofo Cruz. the retiring manager

vote of thanks from the theater patrons
of FL PasO for his effort to give she
city good vaudeville and for giving his
patrons the best bill seen in FL PasO,
since the Orpheum closed, as the last
weeks attraction at the FL Pase street
theater.
Instead of filling in the program win
anyone he could get for the last week,
manager Cruz imported three real vau-
deville acts and the New Years night
audience showed their appreciation OF
his efforts by applauding the acts until
their hands were sore.

AMERICAN CUT AND
ROBBED IN JUAREZ

An American, who ha3 not yet been
positively identified, but who is be-
lieved to be c. c. Smith, of Austin,
was severely cut early New Years
morning in JUarez. Re is now being
cared for at the hospital in Juarez and
is reported to be in a very serious
condition.
The cutting occurred near the Tiv-
oil cafe, on Concrete street. Accord
ing to persons who were in the cafe,
the American had been drinking and
suddenly left the cafe. About 10 min
utes later he returned Pushing the
door open he stood in the threshold,
attempting to speak. A cash in his
throat, extending almost from ear to
ear, prevented him. He stood in the
door for a moment and then collapsed.
Police officers who arrived refused to
permit the man to re touched, and it
was nearly an hOur before he was re-
moved to the hospital, witnesses say.
The American had been robbed be-
fore returning to the TivoH. A printed
card, bearing the name, &C c. Smith,
Austin" was found in his pocket. The
man is about 80 years of age. The
police of Juarez are making an investi-
cation, but no arrests have yet been
made.

American Weddings Rare
in England Since Exodus

London, Eng, Jan. American we'd
dings in London are now very rare
There are few Americans in England
now outside of the regular colony and
furthermore tho church of England
has shown a disposition to discourage
the issuance of licenses to non resi-
dents who desire to waive the formalitv
OF church regulations and have a
license granted without the reading of
bans and other preliminaries which
consume at least two weeks
At one time Americans were much
given to seeking these special licenses
and arranging weddings in great haste.
The bishop of Canterbury grants such
licenses to Englishmen only when there
are urgent reasons, such as illness or
unexpected military or naval orders
which would make it impossible to COM
ply with the church's regular require
ments.
In the case of Americans or other
foreigners desiring TO marry in Eng
land the same consideration will be
shown in an extreme emergency that
is shown to Englishmen, but the church
has made very clear its unwiIlingness
to issue special licenses simply be-
cause the parties to the marriage do
not want to comply with the regular
requirements.
Within the last u months only one
special license has been granted to
Americans.

Acme Sanitary Flooring company, an
FL Paso corporation. Other defendants
in the suit are T. c. Phillips, A. r.
Heineman, S. X. Albright, and the First

The petition alleges that the plain
tiffs were induced to buy go shares of
the capital stock of the flooring COM
pany. which stock was paid for by Lee
Harlan, executing to 7. c. Phillips and
A. r. Heineman, two promissOry notes
for a principal sum Of $4,000, secured
by mortgage on his property in Dona
Ana county, New Mexico. The aIlega-
ton is that the stock was sold to them
through instrumentation.
The bank is brought into the suit
merely as the holder of certain of the
notes and the mortgage.
The petitioners represent that they
demanded the return of the notes and
the cancellation of the mortgage, offer
ing to return the stock, but that the
defendants refused to comply with
the requests.
The suit is brought to enjoin the
defendants from conducting any fur
Their negotiations upon the security of
the two notes, to compel the First
National bank to answer what interest
it has in or claim upon the notes, and
to permit the plaintiffs to return the
capital stock, recover the notes and

Conditions Improving
In nUH MIL,

Some very considerable investments
which have been made recently in old
Mexico indicate in a most striking wav
the fact that business conditions in
the neiEhboring republic are more set
tied and satisfactory than for several
years past. This growing confidence
has been illustrated within the past
few days by the purchase by Mr.. J. C.
Ontiveros, manager of the Anahuac
theater in Juarez, of a Wurlitzer the
alter orchestra costing S155O.OO. The
sale was made by the FL Paso A'iano Co
W R. Schultz, Prop, of this city. and
the instrument is the type which has
won such high favor among the larger
and more important motion picture
houses in the United States. It will be
remembered, too, that the Ell Paso
Piano Co. has placed Wurlitzer instru-
ments in nine out of the eleven picture
houses in Ell PasO-nOt to mention Wur-
Htzers installed by this house in scores
of other theaters throughout the south
west.-Advertisem

When I am at her home or we are
out together she always insists upon
my showing my affection for her,
whether others are around or not 1
am often embarrassed because of this,
for it is my belief that caresses should
be kept for private demonstrations
only.
have on a few occasions tried to
admonish her for this, but she always
gets angry and says that If I loved her
I would not care if the whole world
were looking on
Don't you think I am right on this
question? /. D. T
You were quite right in your feeling
that love and affection are sacred
things. The girl You care for is fortu-
nate in having a lover who is so high
minded and considerate. Stick to your
principles and try to make her take a
more dignified attitude towards your
mutual affection.
