right. He was rushed to DR., Balley's
Office, in Davenport. and several
stitches were required to close the
wound, the flesh being cut to the bone.
The accident happened in front Of the
French residence on East River street.
Both cars were going at moderate
rate of speed at the time, according
to witnesses. and this fact is all that
kent the accident from being much
more serious. In the Hartz car beside
the owner and driver, were Gus Gelser,
william OveTmann and Drummond,
who is 20 years old. The car was
bound for Pleasant Valley, and accord
ing to witnesses, was taking the out

the mountains. Ince has made many
transforms for the screen, but in the
majority Of instances he has been COM
PEELED to resort to cinematographic
tricks. Another striking bit of realism
is a stone wall, of the sort that
abounds in the Kentucky mountains.
California has no stone walls-at least,
not in the vicinity of Inceville-so Ince
found it expedient TO build one.
Still a third scene that counterfeits
the actual thing is a moonshine whisky
still in the mountains. The appurte-
nOnces for this set were sent to Ince-
vile from hamlet in Kentucky.

Ali Singh, the all-pogerful and SUI
perhuman Monaghan demon, has gath
cred about him the faIatical millions
of the unitel yellow races. They are
formed into the mighCiest army the
world has ever seen and set forth to
conquer the United States What hap
pens then? Frankly. we do not know.
Publicity on 1.-The Yellow Menace"
forthcoming photoplay serial, has not
progressed any further.
THE Yellow Menace is a thriller
from start to finish. Its author is
Louis Tracy, who wrote such absorb
ing stories as The Wings of the
Morning, - THE Pillar of Light" '"The
Silent Barrier" and THE Great Mo
gull" Therefore it's thrilling qualities
may be taken for granted.
The cast is headed by the actor. Ed
win Stevens, who plays the difficult
role of Ali Singh. This character is
said to be unique as 10 makeup and
terror inspiring qualities. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Stephens is required to spend
an hour and a half converting what is
naturally frank, open and prepos-
sessing face into one bearing the
marks of evil and of centuries of ORR
entail craft and cunning.
Plans to Conquer United States.
The first episode, entitled The
Dragons Claw" deals with the fanati-
cal ambition of Ali Singh to combine
all the oriental races, Chinese, Jap,
anese, Hindus, Malays and POlynesi-
ans, into one mighty army to conquer
the United States. 1t depicts the state
of unrest among the yellow inhabi-
tants of Hong Kai. China. A revOlu-
ton, fomented by Ali Singh, results,
and to make himself strong with the
white residents, he apparently quells
it During the celebration that fol-
lows, Ali Singh meets with his yellow
cabinet, composed of men of oriental
blood from every part of the celestial
and eastern empires.
The All-powerful fans the fires of
treachery and ultimately sails for the
Pacific coast of the United States with
a terrible army of fanatics. The first
episode terminates with a thrilling
scene in which Ali Singh strikes the
first startling blow at unprepared
America.

woman visited the Davenport police,
and turned over to them silver nap
kin ring, a silk parasol, gold ring, ana
gold mounted fountain pen, which
Francis had given her at various times
as gifts. Now the police are looking
for the owners of this property, but
thus far no one has appeared to claim
any of the goods. According TO the
woman, she had been the object OF
Francis attentions for several months,
during which she was showered with
presents of all sorts. Following The
mans arrest, she grew doubtful as TO
whether the property really belonged
TO him. and so she turned it over to
the police Yesterday. Francis, since
his confinement in the county jail, has
talked little When he was taken TO
Jail, he threatened to kill himself if
he was not released within week. but
thus far he has made no effort to end
his life.
