Amusenents
POLI'S

When an American starts out to do thing he usually does it a little bit better than it has been done before. Magic, for instance, in the beginning belonged to India and the Orient. Then Germany and France produced the conturer and then an entire build ing in London was given over to the black art. Finally American enter .ainers began to produce legerdemain and today the American trickster is supreme.
 Among the American wonder-work- FITS is the Great Leon, wh by many is held to be the worlds greatest ma gician. In China Leon has out-trisk- ed the greatest Chinese. In India he has mystified and the Wizards of St. Georges hall, London, have stood open mouthed at the feats of the ,un- canny American.
 His exhibition at Po1rs this week Is stupendous and Fire and Water" is undoubtedly the greatest climax that any legerdemain act has ever had.
 But this is not all that the Poli theatre offers to patrons this week. June Caprice in Little Miss Happi- ness'' is a five reel perfection picture of country life. The Pathe News shows President Wilson surrounded by 10000 persons, accepting the Dem ocratic nomination for President among other events of the. week. MT. and Mrs. Lewel1yn give an artistic ex- hibition of versatile character acting, the four Maxiins in their rapid object juggling are superb masters of the art, Alfred White & company in "It Happened in Cork" offer a novel act based upon new lines and executed with artistry Alexander and Scott From Virginia" offer diverting sur- prise.
 Saturday will not be complete if the Poli theatre is not visited before this combination of photplay and variety artists are viewed in the utmost nov city of Broadway.

John Shopper, the complaining wit

the other accused, to insure his pres

that he was called to the door of his
room Saturday night by commotion
in the corridor: five men pitched on
him. and rolled him for everything
he had.
An abundance OF booze from some
source played an important part in
the affair. Bismarck has no blind

In spite OF the various cleanup or

remain in Bismarck women, young

WEAK POSTSCRIPT

DIFFERENT PHASES OF
MESSAGE ARE PROBED

North Adams, Mass, Oct. 31.-The
alleged weakening postscript to the
Lusitania note to. German. Y. regarding 9
t.'stifct accountabflity,' was again re.
ferred to by Senator Lodge at a po-
litical meeting here tonight.
"The president of the United States
has denied that there was any post
script to the Lusitania note, and we
are all bound, of course, to accept the
presidents denial as he makes it,
said Senator Lodge.
81 need hardly say he added, that
would not willingly bring an un'
founded charge against anyone high
or low, and if misled into doing so, |
should be quick to retract it. The
president makes one mistake, the
statement which he characterizes as
untrue. that there was such a post
script, was not mine, but was made by
Mr.. Breckenridge, a former assistant
secreary of war, according to the evil
dence Of two independent witnesses,
both gentlemen of high character, re-
sponsibility and veracity, and Mr..
Breckenridge was in a position to
know if, as he is reported to have
said, he had seen the postscript. Bear
