AT SPENCER SQUARE,

For the deartment store scenes in
her next Famous Players-Paramount
production, THE Saleslady,' Hazel
Dawn actually spent many hours be-
hind the ribbon counter in one of the
most celebrated department stores in
New York. Over three hundred en-
ployes of the establishment and the
entire store was placed at the disposal
of the star and her director, Frederick
Thompson, in the making of this I'M
usual drama which is the attraction
at the Spencer Square tomorrow and
Thursday. The story itself differs rad
ically from anything in which Miss
Dawn has ever appeared on the screen
embodying real pathos as well as COM
edy. 1t is the tale of a country girl
whom poverty forces to try her for
tunes in New York. Upon her arrival
in the city, her beauty attracts the at
| tention of a band of white slavers and
/ the woman in the party persuades her
/ to 90 to the house at which she is
boarding, where she will be perfectly
safe" But when Helen refuses tc
join the little party which the rest
of the girls in the house arrange, she
Immediately becomes unpopular.

An ULTIMATUM IS DELIVERED
War Department Must Put Into Effect
New Scale by May 10 to Avoid
Labor Difficulty.

colonel George W. Burr. com.
mandant of Rock Island arsenal,
stated today in reference TO re-
ports from Washington that a
strike was likely at the arsenal
that no ultimatum of employees
threatening a strike unless higher
wages were paid. had been pre-
scented TO him.. He said the men
asking for more pay are machin-
lists who comprise 300 of the 1000
men employed at the arsenal. Col.
onel Burr said that even in the
face of decision denying an in.
crease. he believed only a portion
OF the 300 men would quit.
Employees Of the Rock Island ar.
senal yesterday delivered an ultima
tum to Secretary of War Baker anG
Chief of Ordnance Crozier. Unless
the war department puts into effecr
by May Is an increase in wages rec
commended for the Rock island en-
the men will go out on a strike.
Such a strike, according to n. P
Alias, president of the government,
machinists' union, means that every
man who goes on it will accept EN-.
ployment from private makers of mu
nltlons and will give up entirely his
work for the government
Although the trouble is more pro.
nounced at Rock Island than in other
arsenals, Mr. Alias states that there
is great dissension among the work,
ers at both the Frankfort arsenal a
Philadelphia and the Watertown ar
senal at Springfield, Mass
Private Concerns Pay More.
According to Mr.. Alias, the workers
at the arsenals have been attempting
to win increases in wages for months
Private manufacturers are offering
them much larger salaries than they
are receiving from the government ,
"On April 5 Secretary Wilson rec
commended general increase of wage:

war department is trying by procras-
tination methods to deny the increas.
It has until May Is to grant it or suf-
fer a strike. The increase recon-
mended averages only 25 cents a dav
a man"
View Of General Crozier,
General Crozier said there was moth
ing which he could do to prevent
men leaving the government employ
if they chose to, as the pay for any
work in his department was deter
mined automatically. He said he
could not expect strike by the men.
as if they are complaining only of
wages they would simply leave as in
dividuals and obtain the better nav
they think is available.
The policy is to pay employees in
this work not less than they are paid
for similar work by private employers
in the same district General Crozier
said.

A MAN VIII KNOWS.

Any man VIII % reads carefully a
sketch Of the career # Capt. Q.
b. Steele cannot fail TO be I'M
pressed with the fact that if ever
there was a lime in the State s
history when his services We're
needed and badly needed as that,
it is now. His training in both
branches Of the general assembly
was followed by years in tE.algsld-
itor's office and then years in the
Treasurer S office. 1t was this
triple service which enabled him
not only to discover the Blu, g; de-
falcation VT to demonstrate how
every spurious bond would be de-
tected and thus put stop to the
states losses. Added to this pub
lie service and experience is the
fact that for score Of years
Capt. Steele has been the live wire
in one Of the most wonderfully
successful banks in the whole Of
Louisiana. 1t was he who placed
upon solid grounds the finances
Of the States levee system. lie
knew what levee bond was
worth because he knew all the COLI
lateral facts that hedged that
bond, about. His bank did not
hesitate to buy these bonds and to
finance the levee board. This gave
confidence to other banks and to-
day there are few better securi-
ties to be had than levee board
obligation. Through all these
years Of activity in public and
private financial affairs, two lead /
ing facts shine out in Can't.
Steele's life. First-He is active /
and industrious. Never leaving
to other duties and responsible
ties that are his. Second, not a
faint or suspicion ever attached TO

Y The time has arrived for tn
e voters over whom the City Cour

, name for reelection to this posi-
ton | am asking the support OF

manner in which your laws have
been enforced during my tenure
of office.
New Iberia has for some years
enjoyed the distinction Of being
one of the most law abiding cites
in the State. This condition has
been brought about LARGELY by the
rigid manner in which the laws
have been enforced by your City
Court. and | take pride in point
ing to my own record in this
respect. Not only has there been
no retrogression along these lines,
but owing to some extension in
the limitations of the office, and
to other and more stringent laws
being placed on the Statute oooh

the time | have presided over the

Your attention is called to the
fact that in order that the duties
OF your City JuGgs may be prop
erly fulfilled. the incumbent must
possess the requisite ability to
know and apply Jour laws, and a
sufficient firmness and decision Of
purpose to enforce them. That |
possess these qualifications has
been proven to you.
Can you afford to jeopardize
the peaceable and wholesome con-
ditions that now exist in your
City? Can You afford to take a
chance or gamble CD the moral
retrogression Of your commun-
ity? If you decide that you can
not. then why should you eX-
change tried and competent Of

which the voters will be called

It's fact. Through the sys-

London.

The balance goes for shells, not
to defend Pittsburg either.
The founder Of the Schenlev
fortune was a revolutionary gen

fighting the country which his
descendants find so cosy to-day.
He was Reimbursed by the gov

land out where the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers joined. This
made him pretty glum at the time.
but he soon began to cheer up
when he saw scores and hundreds
Of settlers moving in and around
his land. It struck him as a tidy
way to live, just to sit back and
make contracts for ground rent.
Ills descendants have always felt
the same way about this.
To-day the Schenlev tract is in |
the heart Of the German section
Of Pittsburg. The Schenlev in
