BLANCHE SWEET

. IN SAME PLAY

Appearing in two characters stimuli
taneously is something unique, even
in the photo-drama, but this happens
in The Secret Sin," the big Lasky
drama that comes to the Liberty thea

Sweet in the leading roles. Miss
Sweet appears, as twin sisters, one
addicted to the drug habit and the
other striving to win back the err
ing one ~
This drama Should prove of particu.
lar interest to Honolulans, where the
opium traffic has been fought bit
terly for many years. "The Secret
Sin" is a bitter announcement against
the sale and use of this drug. 4
I Sessue Hayakawa, the great Japan
lese actor, who is a big favorite in
Honolulu through his past perform
ances, takes prominent part in this
offering. Heretofore Hayakawa has
been seen on the film as a Japan
csc with no pretense of makeup"
In ''The Secret Sin" he essays a char
iacter part that es eff the Chinese keeper
of the opium joint, around which the
plot Is woven, and in this, as in his
previous offerings, he scores a big
success. Il
"The Diamond from the Sky
showing the last half of the week, is

Advances in pay ranging from three

cording to advices received in Topeka
today by officers of the road. All in
creases in pay become effective this

ment. Notification of the advances
was received by the departmen

The advance by the Rock Island is
unique in that it applies only to sal
aris of men not belonging to labor
organizations. Through this provision,
members of the four Brotherhoods OF
railway employees now demanding an
eight-hour day with time and half
for overtime are denied participation
in the benefits of the increase.

T0pekans May Try for Audi

And 1t May Be for New, Not

Following the defeat of the audi
torium and city Jail propositions,
members of the Topeka Commercial
club appear to be for the most part
undismayed and are now discussing a
plan to submit a similar proposition
to the people at the November cleo
ton.
Nor is it at all certain that a re-
modelled uditorium will be the propo-
siuon placed before the people at the
next election. 1t is a question in the
minds of many whether Topekans
would not much rather see an abso-
lutely new auditorium erected than to
remodel the old one, no matter how
nearly fireproof and modern remod-
eled structure can become.
Preference on Ballots.
On a number of ballots, voters IA

George P. Hayden. city attorney,
was consulted this morning as to the
legality of placing separate ballots on
the auditorium proposition at the No

he declared, without the necessity OF

Shortage Now in Glass With

Nation and Starvation.

Berlin, June 1.-For the first time
since the outbreak of the war meat is
hard to obtain in the capital and larger
cities of the German empire.
Meat lines have grown as long as
the butter and milk lines" and those
forming them must sometimes wait
for hours before they can procure the
quota allotted by their cards.
Responsible for this condition are
the heavy demands made upon the
meat supply by the army, an almost

On the necessity of feeding meat
animals to the limit of meat and fat
production the government and the
owners of the stock are one. Both say
that a check in butchering now will
add in about three months from twen-
ty to twenty-five per cent to the aver
age meat supply. A fine stand OF
grass on meadow on pasture and the
arrival of more Indian corn from Ru-
mania are counted upon TO produce
this Improvement.

The "old guard panic is due to

That Colonel Roosevelt is the second

That the Roosevelt tide is rising and

That the preparedness parade Satur-
