appeared in the Passion Play-tOrn
by conflicting emotions.
They are intensely patriotic and to
them the Fatherland means every
thing and yet they are shocked.
1t is almost inconceiVable to them
that Anton Lang, the man who played
the role of ChristUs, with such feel
ing and spiritualness, as perhaps no
other person had, should now take
up a gun and seek to STAY his fellow
men-eYen 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
HeTod, 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 Is years old.
This performance of the Passion
Play attracted a greater number of
visitors than ever had visited the VII
alge previously and Lang for his re-
markable performance Of the difficult
role was heralded the werld over. In
1910 he was reelected to play the
part.
Nevertheless he continued on in his
quiet, URzssuH1ing tway, working as
a potter, the trade he had learned
from his father.
Visitors who flocked to his shop to
stare and speak with him always en-
baTTassed him.

afternoon serves to show his objec-
ton to the 'HmeIght."

SEATTLE SENDS
KING" TO PEN

SEATTLE, March 1S.-On the
heels of the sensational convic-
ton of Felix Crane, negro saloon
keeper and boss OF the secret
tenderloin in Seattle, Prosecutor
AL II. Lundin OF King county is
bringing to trial next Monday,
Paul X. Schuman, a former po-
lieeman.
Schuman, like Crane, is charg-
ed with accepting the earnings of
fallen women.
Crane is under sentence OF two
to five years In the penitentiary.
At no time since his arrest did
Crane or his friends exhibit the
least alarm as to the outcome.
They seemed to be impressed
with an overwhelming idea of his
power, and the tenderloin freely
predicted Crane never would
serve any time.
f3 Girls to Testify.
That feeling has been dissi-
pated. Crane is in the county
jail now, and his appeal to the
supreme court hangs on the mer-
est thread. Judge Ronald had
no difficulty in deciding against
Crane on a motion for a new trial.
II is said the evidence against
Schuman Is even more conclu-
sive. Lundin, with the assist
ance OF Chief Lang, has prepared
a thorough case. II Is claimed
there are 13 girls who are will
ing to testify they paid Schuman

Cranes territory was In anoth-
er section of town. away from
the white lights and cafe district,
a few blocks from the old re-
stricted district. Here, under
cover of darkness, women OF the
underworld established them
selves In ramshackle frame houses
and would solicit passersby by
tapping on the windows.
Felix Crane, saloonkeeper, in
the lower part of town, was the
man who. It was claimed, fixed
things with the police SO that the
women, who paid tribute to him,
were left unmoIested while the
others we're quickly apprehended.
