Alice Brady, the beautiful
daughter of William A. Brady
theatrical manager, comes to the
Apollo Thursday in big and
brilliant production of the intense
and gripping drama, Bought and
Paid For" which enjoyed a phe-
nomenal vogue on the stage. The
motion picture version is said to
be much more effective than the
stage play because more realism,
and more elaborate settings are
possible than on the stage.
Alice Brady's beauty and art
won admiration in a number of
screen plays in which she has
been seen in Tacoma, among them

reported that Maj. Langhorne and
two troops of cavalry had surrounded
the Big Bend bandit raiders about
125 miles into Mexico, killing six and

rounded, and did not put up a fight.
The Americans ceased firing at once.
Previous to catching up with the

The National Association for the Ad.
vancement of Colored People, with
headquarters in New York. has ad-
dressed to the senate and house COM
mittees on military affairs an urgent
plea that in the formation of addition
al regiments for the army under the
pending army bills two new regiments
OF infantry and two regiments of artil-
lery be recruited from the colored men
of the country. Under existing law
there are two colored cavalry regi.
ments and two of infantry.
The president of the association is
Moorfeld Storey of Boston and the
treasurer is Oswald Garrison Willard
of New York. Among the vice presi-
dents is Archibald II. Grimke of New
York.
In its letter to the committees the
| association points out shat the adju-
tant general of the army has stated he
doubted if 175,000 regulars could be
recruited in the United States.
There is no difficulty in recruiting
colored regiments" says the letter. 1t
discusses the fine record made by the
colored soldiers of the army since the
days of the Civil war, and states that
there have been fewer desertions from
the colored regiments than from the
white. The colored soldiers are much
better fitted for service in the tropics
than the white, the records have
proved, the letter asserts. In conclu-
sion, it says:
When ten regiments and several
units of artillery were added to the
army in 1901, the colored citizens of
America were deeply offended that
Secretary Root failed to recommend
the establishment of any colored regi-
ment

infantry of those about to be created
by congress. as open for enlistment to
colored Americans.

tance of slightly over one hundred
miles, is said by General Funston to
be one of the finest marching records
held in American army history.
Funston stated that smaller bodies
of picked men had made marches of
70 miles in "a hours, but that for a
large force to maintain an average
speed of so miles a day in rough, des.
ert country is most remarkable.
Led by Mormons who had left their
families in Dublan, Dodd's horsemen
were in the saddle almost continuously
for 60 hours. Spurred on by reports
that the colonists were in danger of
massacre by Villistas, the troopers
covered 100 miles of the most difficult
desert country in Chihuahua on
forced marches that will go down in
the annals of army history. The col.
umn took advantage of the knowledge
of the Mormon scouts, who knew ev-
cry water hole, trail and road along
the route.

persists in spite of broader and more

however. the line of demarcation is be-

Many white members of the confer
