A MARVELLOUS MOVIE TREAT!

The Transcript believes Mr.. H. S.
Newman by his generous assistance to
several public charities and to local in
terests, has earned the right to receive
at the hands of the citizens of Middle
town liberal patronage of his Moving
Picture Show.
Next Thursday evening, March 23d,
the reality of big battle will be
brought home to all who are present to
see the marvelously realistic views Of
the awful war in Europe, taken by a
cinematograph artist, Edwin F. Weigle,
at the risk of his life on the actual fir
ing Inca thing never dreamed of till
now.
This remarkable photographing of a
mighty battle was made possible by the
official assistance of the German general
IN command, no doubt, with view to
giving the exploits of the Teuton arms
a worldwide advertisement that might
help the German cause That cause is
-O' - AOSS OAACS buG LLSS0 pictures are
serving the much better purpose of il
lustrating the fearful damage these war
crazed Germans could do were they to
turn their engines of destruction against
our country on land as they already are
doing on the sea. Quite apart from the
thrilling, truthful wonders these pic
lures show they should be seen by every
thoUghtful patriot who loves his country
and his own freside, and remembers
that today his land is almost as helpless
to defend itself against this modern en-
gineering of scientific war, as a six
months old babe zoe and 10c is all the
charge to see the amazing six reel
sights, which have for weeks jammed
two OF the biggest houses in New York
City. On half the proceeds of these
views taken by the staff artist of the
Chicago Tribune, go to the Blind and
Crippled Soldiers Fund. 1t is the
chance of life time, so do not miss it.

VILLA LOOTS TRAIN;
SEXES Is AMERICANS
AND MURDERS THEM

Ell PASO, JAM "a General Villa personally
gave the order that resulted in the massacre of
Americans and one Canadian in the state of Chi
huahua according to reports received from the
Mexican border early to-day.
General Villa, at the head of detachment of
soldiers, signalled the train to stop. When the
passengers had all left the he arrested the
Americans and the Canadian and, ten minutes
later ordered their execution.
1t is believed that the bandits secured in the
neighborhood of 100000 in the ho1d-up. Off
Gals of the Cusi Mining company left to-day BY
special train to bring back the bodies of the muir
dered men, The mine is owned by Potter Palmer,
Jr and his mother, who are now at Sarasota, Flor
ida.
A telegram sent from the city of Chihuahua to-
H. M Anderson late last night, reads as follows ::
"A party of Americans have been killed by Villa
lists near San Isabel. They were stripped of cloth
ing, beaten, and then murdered. The foreign col
Ony here IS greatly aroused and effort is being
made to send all foreign women and children
across the line into the United States. A report
in circulation to the effect that three EngliShmen
were among the number executed, but this has not
yet been confirmed. Signed F. c. Even"
A dispatch from Chihuahua City states that
the massacre occurred at four o'clock Monday
morning. Most of the victimized Americans were
asleep at the time the train was halted. General
Villas troops roughly awakened them and jabbed
bayonets into those who offered protest. Then the
soldiers threw them bodily from the cars.
That Villa himself led the numbering party has
been confirmed by the British consular officials
one of whom aboard the train. ''P1l teach
these American pigs to practice better diplomacy
than to recognize Carranza," Villa was heard to-
declare as the prisoners were dragged away.
The party searched each car twice to make sure
that no American escaped. 1t is understood that
the bandits action taken in fulfillment of his
threat to make the United States suffer for recog
nizing the CarranZa government.

ROAD MMISSION
HAS BEGUN WORK
Seeks Cooperation of the Counties
in Improving the States
Public Roads.

ATLANTA.-The state highway
commission to-day mailed to the
county authorities of each county
two blanks upon which they are re-
quested to indicate their desire and
willingness to cooperate with the
commission in the building of high
ways with the federal good roads
fund.
One of these blanks gives the as
sent of the county to the jurisdiction
of the state highway commission,
pledges the county property to main
tain the highways built with federal
aid and gives the county authorities
an opportunity to suggest the roads
and routes to be improved within its
borders. The other blank sets out a
form of resolutions for county COM
missioners and the other authorities
to adopt, stating their purpose to rec
ognize the state highway department
in the matter of federal aid highway
building and agreeing to levy neces-
sary taxes for the construction and
maintenance of these highways. In
securing results much will depend
upon the attitude of the counties in
cooperating with the state commits
sion.

Artisans and mechanics in sections
where a protective tariff would be
helpful favor Hughes.
Women Inclined to Hughes.
Women in California and in other
equal suffrage states incline toward
Hughes, giving the impression that
the republican nominee has gained
among the women voters of the
twelve western states as much as Will
son has won by his peace policies.
There is far greater interest in
the election than the political cam
paign managers believe.
The two big issues in determining
the election, to all appearances, will
be the tariff and the attitude of the
two nominees on the Adamson bill as
it affected the recent railway contro-
versy.
1t is now indicated that the pro-
gressives of 1912-or those who say
they voted for Theodore Roosevelt in
1912-are going back to the repub-
lican standard at ratio of about
four or five to one. In some sections
it is a big procession back to the
parent party.

DEMOCRATS WANT
FUND OF $1,5OO,O00
Exceeds Fund of Last Campaign by
Nearly Half Million. New York
Expected to Give Third.

NEW YORK.-A fund of 81, $780,
900 will be required to conduct the
democratic national campaign, ac-
cording to a statement made here to-
night by Henry Morgenthau, treas
urer of the national campaign com
mittee. He declared New York was
expected to contribute about one
third of this amount, which exceeds
by about 100000 the sum spent IN
the 1912 campaign.
AS an example of the increased
cost of the present campaign Mr..
Morgenthau said that the printing bill
alone would be three times as much
as it was in 1912 because of the in
creased price of paper He an
nounced that contributions thus far
received exceeded by 65 per cent
those which had been sent in up to
the same date in 1912. There have
been several contributions of $4,000
each, but only three of more than
that amount, he said.

knife IN MANS BRAIN
ONE YEAR; He RECEIVERS
HOW BLADE PENETRATING PA
TENTS SKULL WAS REMOV-
ED TOLD BY SURGEON.

NEW YORK.-How knife
blade one inch long which had pene-
trated a mans skull and entered the
brain was removed after one year
and the man restored to health is told
by DR.. Mathis Figueira of Brooklyn,
one of the head surgeons at st. Cath
crimes hospital.
The man was found by the police
in the street, apparently intoxicated,
and was sent to the hospital. He re-
NAMED in a semi-comatose state and
the following morning in the course
of examination DR.. Figueira passed
his hand over the mans head and dis
covered lump.
The lump as DR.. Figueria describes
was "about two inches from the mid
die of the upper part of the right
parietal bone in the neighborhood Of
the center for the arm. The lump
wa snot hard, and on palpitation had
a peculiar grating sound which
could not explain. He was sent to
thC dy IOOI1I anu lie IdulOSIdpHiC
picture disclosed the vault # the
saul, anc sticking into it was the
b!ade of a knife one inch long"
When the clan was placed on the
oDerating table it was found that the
knife had been broken off flush with
the Skull and the surgeons could not
get hold of it. Describing the oper-
alton, DR.. Figueria says:
81 applied trephine and cut out
button of the bone. There was a
very beautiful condition of the brain,
showing the wonderful conservative
powers of nature in cases of this
kind. From the constant motion of
the brain with respiration and the ac-
ton of the heart that knife blade,
which was fast in the skull, had grad
ually loosened in the bone, so it
moved with the brain. The bone had
become absorbed by the constant
beating of the brain and around the
knife blade nature had built wall of
connective tissue to protect the brain.
The patient is said to have been
in fight with some other workmen
one year ago, in which he was seri-
ously cut and bruised.

ATLANTA MAN RAISING
POLECATS FOR THEIR FUR
Conducts Precarious Enterprise b.
Capturing Then When Kittens.

Conducts Precarious Enterprise by
Capturing Then When Kittens.
Raising polecats for their fur is
the unique, not to say precarious, en-
terprise launched by Fulton county
farmer, who makes speciality of
capturing the cats when they are kit
tens.
Being a practiced hunter of the
dreaded little animal with the
famous smell, the farmer finds a
mother skunk with litter of kittens,
Stays the mother skunk and takes the
kittens home and removes the glands
where they secrete their poison"
When this is done the raising of
the kittens to be grown cats is com
paratively easy, according to the en-
terprising farmer, who claims that a
polecat kitten will soon become as
tame as an ordinary domestic cat.
