AT THE THEATERS
At the OrpheUm.

The Orpheum management has ar
ranged special feature production to
be shown beginning today and for the
first half of the week in -Silas Mar
ner,'' the film version of Eliot's well
known story. Frederick Warde plays
the part of Mariner
The best recommendation that can
be given this drama is that for two
solid weeks the remarkable play filled
the Willis Wood theater in Kansas
City to capacity.
The play. the author, the actor
needs no introduction to those who
follow the works of the dramatist and
the writer of classic literature.
Especially suitable is the play for
the week graduation when the stu
dents and parents are deeply interest
ed in the completion of the school
year and the attendant exercises.
The musical contest given by the
members of the high school as a fea-
ture of the special program will begin
tonight and will be finally decided

Columbus, N M, May 22.-Four
bands OF Mexicans are moving north

American troops. committing depreda-
tons and Speeding terror in the vii
lagos. This report was brought to the
Columbus base today 1t is believed
here that the Mexicans who fired on
thirteen troopers of the Seventh in
fantry, wounding one, were members
of one of these bands
Keep safe Distance.
These bandits are moving in bands
of from so to 20 and have kept far
enough behind the retiring Americans
to avoid a clash. Many inhabitants
of the region around San Antonio.
Mexico. are fleeing northward in the
wake of the American troops General
Pershing has sent back cavalry de-
tachments to attack and dispense these
bandits
Stories that the American troops
are Withdrawing because Villa had
recovered and was gathering an army
to fight the American troops have
been circulated among the Mexican
poems and are believed responsible for
the new outbreak of banditry.
Two Troops in Danger?
San Antonio, May 22.-Some anxiety
as to the situation in which the Ameri-
can troops south of Boquillas were re-
ported was displayed at General Fun
ston's headquarters early today No
official reports indicating hostile
movements of any band near Colonel
Sibley's two troops of the Fourteenth
cavalry had been received and when
last accounted for Major Langhorne
and his two troops of the Eighth cav
airy were moving northward to join
Colonel Sibley.
If 1t is proven that the little punitive
column is in danger, it is probable a
force of the Sixth cavalry that has just
arrived in the Big Bend district, will
be used as a reinforcement
Officers at department headquarters
were inclined to regard the shipping
to which the rear guards of General
Pershing's troops has been subjected,
as the action of a reduced force of
Villistas and relatively unimportant.
Soldiers Reach Marathon.
Marathon, May 22.-Two troops of
the Sixth cavalry withdrawn last week
from General Pershing's forces, ar
rived here today an route to Boquillas,
where they will patrol the border and
be ready to reinforce Colonel Sibley
and Major Langhorne if necessary. A
report reached here today that Mexi-
can snipers fired on two American SOL
diers bathing in the Rio Grande near
Deemer ford Friday but missed them.

EVERY 8 MINUTES
Salvation Army Gathers Fig
ures on Girls Disgrace.
Officer Will Speak to Topeka
Audience Wednesday.

A virtuous girl starts on the road
to a life of shame every minutes is
one of the startling facts revealed by
the statistics gathered by the Saliva
ton Army in it's rescue operations
1t is estimated that there are 315,-
600 known fallen women in our coun-
try. And it can scarcely be said that
these figures are on the decrease Hor-
rible as it is. truth makes it necessary
to say that the opposite is more likely
the true situation.
Mrs. Thomas Esti11, wife of Com
missioner Thomas Estill, in command
of all the Salvation Army operations
in the western states, an interna-
tional lecturer of prominence, is per-
haps one of the best informed speak
ers on this subject on the public plat
form today. She will speak at Topeka
and two other points in Kansas.
Mrs. EstilI will have an authori-
tative message, born of long years of
experience in the work, when
she speaks on the subject of
Broken Womanhood" at the high
school auditorium, Wednesday eve
ming. She is a lady of refinement,
charming in personality, and a gifted
speaker As lecturer she has re-
ceived a hearing in Africa, Australia,
New Zealand, Holland and Japan.
Her subject on this occasion is espe-
cially interesting to all those who
sympathize with the helpless in their
struggle for a better life. Governor
Capper will preside at the meeting.
The twenty-eight rescue and ma
ternity homes which the Salvation
army have established in the United
States, thirteen of this number in the
western states, receive more than 5000
girls annually. Eighty-one per cent
of these girls are permanently re-
stored to life of virtue and purity
Those who receive no aid in turning
to a better life are ground out by the
traffic mill in a few years. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 die every year. To
make up this depletion in the ranks of
shame, $4,000 pure women must be
sacrificed every year

NO MERCY SHOWN
Turks Drove Out Armenians,
Then Massacred Them.
Russians Bring to Light AtrOc-
tiles in TrebizOnd.

Bucharest, May 22.-Since the en-
try of the Russians into Trebizond, it is
possible to lift the veil which hitherto
has shrouded the fate of the Armenian
population of that city.
The Russian troops found all the
Armenian houses plundered and most
ly in ruins. They had been pillaged
by the Turks, the authorities inter
posing no opposition.
The deportation of Armenians was
carried out in accordance with instruc
lions from Constantfnople. Some 800
of the leading families received the
order to prepare for emigration and
purchased wagons to transport their
property but four days after their de-
parture all the wagons were brought
back to the town The ernigrants had
been maSSacred and their property
plundered-
Driven From Houses.
Other groups. each of several hum
bred families, followed. This process
was continued for some time. Event
ually, however, new methods were
adopted. The police entered the houses
of the remaining Armenians and fOrci-
bly, expelled them. They were driven
were locked up. The whole Armenian
10000, was thus exterminated. 1t is
hoped, however. that some hundreds
may yet be found in villages in the
neighborhood.
At Erzerum, where the Armenian
population is estimated to have been
$4,000, practically the same program
was carried out.

WHY OF THE BONDS
Some Heavy Taxpayers Set
Forth Important Reasons
For Supporting Auditorium
Proposition at the Polls.

c. B. Merriam was one of the COM
mittee of citizens who took hold of
the Auditorium proposition and
worked out the present plan of re-
modelling and the construction of the
new city Jail Discussing the 100000
bond issue. upon which the people are
to vote May 81 to put this plan into
effect. he said:
My theory is that Topeka is pri-
marily a convention city, it is the state
capital, has good railroad facilities,
ample accommodations for visitors
and is logically the place for the peo-
pie of Kansas to come together To-
peka has no considerable manufac-
turing interests and conditions are uIi-
favorable that these will ever materi-
ally increase. We are too close to
Kansas City to become a great whole
sale and rributing center. There
fore we should do what we can do
and not undertake things that are i'm
practica BILE.
Must Get Conventions.
We can get conventions if we
will provide suitable buildings and
accommodations. Our committee
went over the Audit orium a number
of times and had a half dozen or more
meetings with Mr. Holland, the archi-
tect, and the plan proposed was the
result of our combined labors and
judgment. We think il is the very
best solution of our difficulties that
can be made economically. When
the new Auditorium is built it will
meet Topeka's needs. People who are
opposing the bonds because they say
they want a $20O.OGO new building
simply do not understand the plans
we agreed upon. If they would ia
miliarize themselves with it l think
they would conclude that we did the
best thing"
Should Have Safe Place
Robert Stone, attorney, said: "I IA
vor bonds for both propositions be-
cause Topeka should have safe place
for great public meetings. conven-
tons and entertainments and one that
is large enough to accommodate all
needs. And it should be safe for
every person able to get into the build
ing. While it is true that the most
direct benefit from conventions
comes to our merchants, hotels res
taurants and railroads, we all derive
benefit indirectly. Furthermore, con-
ventions add their part in making To-
peka desirable city in which to live
/ Every one should feel a personal in
terest in making the Auditorium as
capacious and safe as possible
j. w ThJrston, president Farmers
Bank: Il am not familiar with the
plans made by the committee and the
architects, but 1 am willing to take
their Judgment. So I snail support
the present proposition"
