"sPENDTHRIFT" AT PRINCESS

Porter Emerson Brownies Celebrated
Drama to be Shown in Movies
Fresh from the necromancy of the
printshop comes that very successful
and very charming drama, "The
Spendthrift," to be shown at the Prin-
cess Theatre on Saturday, New Years
day.
Porter Emerson Brownies celebrat-
ed drama has been capably filmed by
an unusually pretentious cast of Geo.
Kleine players, starring dainty Irene
Fenwick in the role of the shiftless
Frances Ward. Cyril Keightley, who
is appearing nightly in the "Song of
Songs" with Miss Fenwick, will be
seen as Richard Ward, the young
broker who elopes with Frances to
his ultimate financial embarrassment
and who, incidentally, is making his
premier appearance as photo-play-
er in this picture. The cast includes
another well known Broadway thes-
plan in the person of Malcolm Dun
can, long familiar as a leading man
for Harrison Grey Fiske.
"The Spendthrift" is the story OF
a young woman whose Puritanical
and wealthy aunt raises her in the
good, old-fashioned way, implanting
in the girls mind an unnatural love
of pleasure and the joys that money
will buy to the great discontinue
and financial embarrassment Of her
husband later on.

Complete Schedule of Benefits and Damages Exhibited by
Viewers; Benefits Total $43IO7O.3O; City to Pay
$64,O34.7O; Report to Court January 10; Some Oh
jectons Heard; Take Over Properties April

The long-awaited schedule of bene-
fts and damages incident to the con-
demnation of 'Hardscrabble" was eX-
hibited in City Council to-day.
The viewers allow damages total
ing $1O7,105 to the owners of prop
critics on the west side of Front street
from Herr to Calder; assess benefits
totaling $42,970.30 upon the proper
ties on the east side, and assess the
remaining S64,134.70 upon the city.
More than a score of owners ap-
peared to hear the reading of the
schedule. Others were represented
by counsel. Several gave verbal
notice of their intention to file eXcep-
tions.
January 10, 1916, the viewers re-
port will be submitted to the Dau-
phin county court. All exceptions or
appeals that may be taken must be
filed within thirty days thereafter.
These objections, of course, would
then have to be threshed out before
a jury.

Further Jitney Regulation
Recommended by Traffic
Experts From New York

1t is expected that the jitney regu-
lation measure will pass City Council
finally tomorrow in the amended
shape. While the ordinance in its
present form is regarded as an ex-
tremely mild scheme of regulation
compared with the original provisions
there are still those among the jitney
operators who are endeavoring to fur
ther weaken the bond feature. This
has already been reduced from $4,000
to $4,000 and instead of further de-
creasing the amount there is said to
be an increasing sentiment in favor
of raising liability to at least half OF
the original figure.
1t is understood the New York traf-
fic officers who were here last week
investigating local traffic. conditions
have reported to the Municipal
League, strongly favoring a $4,000
bond as a measure of safety for the
public and also the users of these We
hicles which they declare are driven
recklessly in many cases.
Members of City Council said to-
day that they had been something of
an effort to further amend the ordI-
nance up and down, but said 1t would
probably pass In its present form.

London, Dec. 20.-(2 P. M.)-The
British troops at the Suvla and Anzac

The following official statement
was issued here to-day:
"All the troops at Suvla and Anzac

AS no mention is made in the Brit

tion in the Seddul Bahr position, at
the tip of the peninsula it is not clear
whether the withdrawal of troops in
dicates decision to abandon the eff
fort to force the Dardanelles or
means merely a readjustment of the
allied forces.
There had been no previous hint
of such a move although the question
had been raised in England whether
In view of the failure of the allies te
make appreciable headway at the
Dardanelles and the urgent need for
additional troops at Saloniki, the
Dardanelles forces would be with

munications received yesterday, spoke
of heavy firing from land and sea by
the allies, but mentioned no move
ments out of the ordinary although
