ATTRACTIONS FOR THE THEATRE GO[RS
SMOKESTACK 200 FEET TALL
BLOWN UP IN ~DIZZY HFIGHTSr

A big brick smokestack 200 feet high
was bought by the Keystone studio for
use in the thrilling, yet comic play
"Dizzy Heights and Daring Hearts"
1t was a land mark, having stood
few miles from melville for nearly a
quarter of a century. 1t was pur-
chased only to be totally destroyed in
an instant by a big charge of dyna-
mite. But it added realism and inter
est to a thrilling story dealing with
many spectacular flights in aeroplanes
land hairbreadth escapes from sudden
death. Chester Conklin, the william,
tried to wipe out the hero, William
Mason, and the smokestack at the
same time. Conklin had no grudge
against the stack, but used it for a
means to destroy his rival to the af-
fections of Betty Anderson. Mason
had heroically ascended to the top of
the tall chimney to remove the wing
of an aeroplane that had fallen on
top of it. Then the dastardly Conklin
cut the rope so the brave young lover
could not descend. To complete a
good job, Conklin placed a lot of giant
powder under the stack, where 1t
would do the most good Presto, he
touched mdlcn 10 tne IuSe. IL looked
like curtain for Bill Mason, but william
Conklin hadn't figured on pucky lit
tie Betsy. She just flew her flyer up
and took her lover off, JUSTIN time to
escape sudden death. And the william
had to pay! Yes. it remaiped for
Dave Anderson to make the william
get his. He fought to prevent Nonk-
lin from lighting the fuse but WAS
unsuccessful. After a stiff fight\ he
chased Conk to the base of the CHM
ney, where the william was completely
buried by the fragments of the stack,
when it was shattered a la dynamite
This remarkable comedy is to be
shown at the Orpheum Theatre Friday
and Saturday evenings and at Satur-
days matinee.

them is, hereby enjoined from collect
ing or attempting to collect, or from
enforcing payment upon said water
right agreements, including any over
due payments or installments on said
agreements, until such time as the
holders thereof have been provided
with the water supply so contracted
for, or are given trustworthy assur-
ance, to be approved by the court,
that said water will be provided, or
until the further order of this court"
The particular issues now present
ed to the appellate court are first:
how far that court will go in consid
ering the facts and law in reviewing
the appeal from an introductory or
der, and second: the construction of
the contract between the parties.
The appeal in this case having been
taken from an interlocutory order, by
which the lower court has restrained
the defendant company, and its success
sors in interest from the collection
of any of the installments claimed to
be due under the water contracts until
the final order and decree of the
court, and the well recognized rule
being that the appellate court will

granting an in junction unless the
trial court has clearly abused its dis
erection, presents an interesting ques-
ton in the present case.
The company, on the other hand,
claims that it never made any contract
calling for the delivery of any spe-
cific amount of water; that it is a
construction company only; that the
existing water supply is entirely suf-
ficient for the irrigation of some ST.
900 acres. The company also takes
the position that the trial court erred
in refusing to investigate the duty of
water" holding instead that the con-
tracts covered the point and the par
ties involved had agreed in their con
tract as to what amount of water
should be delivered.
The defendants are being represent

"BETWEEN MEN" WITH W. S.
HART AT 0RPHETM THEATRE

William S. Hart, the popular actor
of wild west roles, makes a novel APP
pearance as westerner who dons
evening clothes and is quite at his
ease in metropolitan society in the
new Ince-Triangle play Between
Men," to be seen at the Orpheum The
atre next Monday. To make the con-
trast more vivid Hart is first seen
wearing the wide Stetson, the buck
skin shirt and corduroy trowsers of
a mining man. Then he comes to
New York to the rescue of a friend
who is in the tolls of Wall street
operator.
Hart then changes to the attire of
society when he appears at the home
of his friend and meets his charming
daughter, played by Enid MarIey.
Hart seems as much at his ease with
his dress suit and patent feathers as
he did when in the rougher and more
unconventional garb. He is still the
cool westerner, ready for anything
that may happen Miss Marley is de-
lightful to look upon, her dark beauty
being set off effectively by filmy gar
ments in the latest mode.

Rumania and Turkey also entered tho
conflict against bulgaria. Fighting
began June 80, 1913, but the war was
not formally recognized until July s.,
when Bulgaria broke with Greece; Ser
bia, Montenegro, Rumania and Tur-i
key. i
The first peace overture was made
July Fl, or sixteen days after the OPEN
ing of hostilities, when King Ferdi-
nand Of Bulgaria telegraphed to King
Charles Of Rumanfa asking him to,
intercede with the monarchs Of Greece,
Serbia and Montenegro. A favorable
reply was received, and ultimately rep-
resentatives of all belligerents, except
Turkey, assembled in Bucharest on
July 20 and concluded an armistice.
After debates the representatives
agreed on terms of peace, and on Au-i
gust 10 the Treaty Of Bucharest was
signed. This ended the war as far as
all belligerents with the exception of
Bulgaria and Turkey.
These two nations finally came to-
an agreement in Constantinople on
September 20. The cessation of hos
tilities between them is recorded in the
Treaty Of Constantinople signed at
that time.

I found I was different. I hadn't

PHILANTHROPISTS
EXPECTING Their
CASH TO RETURN
German Employers Paying
Wives of Fighters, Pro-
tected by Contract.

Berlin, Dec. 15.-German COM
mercial organizations are making a
strenuous protest against form OF
Commercial slavery which they
SLY is beginning to make itself
known.
Most business firms, since the be-
ginning of the war, have voluntarily
paid to the relatives of employees call
ed into the army, a portion of such
employees salaries or wages. Some
of them particularly in the Rhine
land are now making the employees
enter into an agreement to work for
their firms at least three years after
the arrival of peace, on pain of hav-
ing the voluntary payments to their
relatives cease. Their salaries may
or may not be raised during that
time. They also are asked to sign a
sort of note, which is in effect eff
feet promise to repay the aggregate
Of dhe payments made to relatives,
at five per cent; if they leave the
enjoy of the firm within three years.
Chambers of Commerce that have
taken the matter up while agreed
that the burdens upon many firms OF
playing salaries to employees rela-
tives are sometimes Unfortunately
severe, are convinced that stringent
steps must be taken against prac-
tice as "unsocial" and "unpatriotic"
as. the plan adopted by the Rhine
land firms.

CESSATION OF H0STILIT|ES
ALWAYS QUICKLY FOLLOWED
OVERTURES FOR FARLEY
Balkan Nations, However, Punctuated Negotiations BY
Intermittent Engagements Russo-Jap Pact Came in
80 Days After Roosevelts Mediation in 1905.

History shows that, with the pos
sible exception Of the Balkan wars,
peace overtures have resulted in an
armlsttce in every armed controversy
In recent years. This armistice has
been continued until the peace trea-
ties have actually been signed.
This was true of the Franco Ger
man, Russo-Japanese and Spanish
American wars. In the Balkans an
"unoff1ciaP' war continued intermit-
tently until Bulgaria and Turkey final
ly laid down their arms in September,
1913
The shortest time elapsing between
the initial peace overtures and the par
legs was in the second Balkan war,
when the belligerents met in Bucha-
rest eight days after King Ferdinand
first sought mediation.
Eighty nine days elapsed between
the time President Roosevelt proffer-
ed his services toward a re-estab-
lishment of peace in the Far East and
the signing of the Treaty of Ports
mouth, which brought to a conclusion
the Russo-Japanese War.
On June 8, 1905, President Roosevelt
addressed a. peace note to the two gov
ernments. The text of the note read
The President feels that the time
has come when in the interest of all
mankind, he must endeavor to see if
it is not possible to bring to an end
the terrible and lamentable conflict
now being waged. With both Russia
and Japan the United States has in
hertted ties Of friendship and good
will. 1t hopes for the prosperity and
welfare of each, and it feels that the
progress Of the world is set back by
the war between these two great ma
tiOns.
The President, accordingly, urges
the Russian and Japanese governments
not only for their own sake, but; in
the interest of the whole civilized
world to open direct negotiations for
peace with each other.
1.-THE President suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted di-
rectly and exclusively between the
belligerents; in other words that there
may be meeting of Russian and Jap
anese Plenipotentiaries or delegates
without any intermediary, in order to
see if it is not possible for these rep
resentatives of the two powers to
agree to terms Of peace.

The result was that when the big:

there would have been absolute de-

that the total was 100000 shares ap.

BY Peace Talk Sends All
Issues Crashing.

.New York, Dec. 15.-Values were
smashed to smithereens in the war
brides yesterday ON the Stock EA-
change and the curb, and speculative
pyramids in the coppers. the NOUS

mediums, collapsed in all dlrectons.

! houses under the avalanche OF HQu1da-
ton from abroad.
Actually, however, the situation yes
terday bore q little analogy to the
panicky conditions of that memorable
time, The selling was wholly domes-
tic in origin and was largely speculat-
tive. It resulted from q mad rush OF
the public in New York, Chicago and
other great financial centres to get
out OF stocks bought at much higher
prices in. the expectation that the war
would continue at least q year to
come.
Evidence OF Changed Sentiment X
The men and women who sacrificed
their holdings yesterday had held on
In the belief that the peace proposal
by Germany would prove abortive.
They had based their opinions on
those expressed by leading fnanciers
Tuesday and wednesday. Gradually,
however, the sentiment, as expressed
in stock trading, seemed to have been
Changed. Even prominent bankers
were inclined to reverse their earlier
opinion
The news that J. P. Morgan had
gone TO washington to consult Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice. the British Ambas-
isador, was construed by some to con-
hrm Wall streets suspicion that tho
banking house WAS really not as con-
lfdent as It had professed to be that

many's proposals.
From the moment It became known
that Mr.. Morgan had gone to visit

were. reached at every eighth and

be no buying power to stop this loss.
Covering operations exercised no re-

signal for fresh selling.
