The President Deceived the PEOPLE
Editor Kennebec journal:
Can 1t be possible that you believe
that the brotherhood leaders actually
deceived the President? The President
is not an ignoramus: and you pay him
the compliment Of being one when you
say that he was deceived.
No intelligent man today believes
that Mr.. Wilson was deceived. But
Mr.. Wilson did attempt to deceive the
people when he called upon Congress
to establish an "eight-hour day."
which no one wanted or had asked for
but which he claimed society demand
ed. Maybe some part Of society wants
the eight-hour day, and we would all
like 1t, II we could get ten hours pay
for eight hours work. But the rail-
road employees are the very last people
on earth that want an eight-hour day,
even with ten hours pay. provided. of

WILL EXTEND FIELD
 OF HIS OPERATIONS
Rear Admiral Carpenter Drives Into the Interior at Santo
 Domingo

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic June 21.-Rear Admiral Caperton has de- cided to extend his sphere of operations and take over two of the principal towns in the interior. He issued a proclama- tion today setting forth the objects of intervention as the upbuilding of the le- gally constituted powers and the suppress sion of uprisings which interfere with the prosperity of the country. In furtherance of these objects. the proclamation states, it has been deemed necessary to occupy Santiago, 75 miles and La Vega, 100 miles northwest of Santo Domingo.
 Assurances are given that it is not the intention of the United States to subjugate Dominican territory or infringe on the sovereignty of the nation. The troops will remain until revolutionary movements are suppressed, necessary re- forms affected, and the welfare of the re- public assured. The cooperation of Do- minican civil officials and of all public spirited persons is required.

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, June 21.-(special)-A man who might be described as very dark white man, or very light mulatto, en- tered an uptown Broadway restaurant of the better class last night at the dln- ner hour, and sat down at table al ready occupied by one white man. De- velopments began at once.
 The man already sitting at the table glared at the newcomer, looked him over from every possible angle, then arose and sought the manager of the restaurant. That dignity was at the desk, keeping one eye on the cashier and the other on the patrons, very probably.
 See here,' said the indignant diner, ''do you serve negroes in here?''
 Not unless they are willing to pay about five prices for a meal" answered the manager.
 Well, there's negro sitting at the table I just left, and if he's going to eat here, I'm through, that's all" said the man and he was not a southerner, either.
 Show me- said the manager.
 Together they went to spot from which they could get a good view of him. He had all the ''earmarks," it is true. His hair was inclined toward kinkiness, if it didn't actually kink, his nose was not at all of the Grecian type, and no one could have referred to his lips as "a thin cruel, line."
 watch me- said the manager, who was satisfied by the inspection that the man was a negro
 The diner stood in the background and watched He saw the manager ap- proach the one he had declared to be a negro, saw indignation mount until the man himself rose with it. and on his feet, appeared to hand the manager such a hot line of argument that the latter soon returned to the desk, after batting the diner on the shoulder in the most an G-preparedness way imaginable,

''Well?" said the man who had regis tered the complaint.
 "Well,'' repeated the manager, "I'H be lucky to get away without a big suit, that's all. That mans no negro. Couldn' t you tell that from the way he talked?" T couldn't hear what he said" replied the other, but I believe I know a negro when I see one, even in these days and in this city,
 An hour afterward, I had forgotten the incident, when I passed the man who had caused the trouble, on account of his color He was walking down Broadway just about even with the Eighty-first Street theatre, by his side, and engaged in conversation with him, was a woman whose skin would have made the falling shades of night" look like little sum beams slipping earthward. "Ah," you say, "so the man was ne- gro after all.'
 Not necessarily, by any means. This is New York city, remember, and there s marked difference between upper Broadway and the South Highlands. The patronage did the restaurant manager lose?
 Two more famous old Bowery land marks gone! The Thalia theatre, which since 1926 has been at No. 46, and the Atlantic Garden, which was built at No. 50 in 1s5s A 16-story loft building is to take their places The Thalia is New Yorks oldest theatre. It was the first to be lighted by gas, and witnessed the first appearance of Edwin Forrest a tragedian. Charlotte Cushman made her debut there as Lady Macbeth, and it also housed the premiere of London Assur- ance."
 The Atlantic Garden was once the T.,Ilp xr-lx, ,AI f-N iy f. beer garden to a music hall,' and held the largest automatic organ and orches- tra in the world. Neigh, ho and hum the old Bowery is passing for true. They say such things and they do such things on the Bowery-no more.

\ TAIN mothers and ambitious N daughters should visit the
 Trianon theatre sometime today and take a good long look at The Market of Vain Desires" serious dramatic film offering from the virile pen of c. Gardner Sul- livan and produced by Reginald Barker for the Ince-T Triangle com pany with MT. H. B. Warner in the leading role.
 Pictorially as well as in the act ing there is hardly flaw in which to hang a captious criticism. The picture moves along smOo; hly. the subtitles being nothing short of clinsing arguments boiled down to gripping brevity in which to em phasize the authors intent. and the clashing of strong emotions rath CT than bodies, looms as a distinct feature of this rather daring ser. mon photoplay.
 The story of "The Market of Vair Desires" is trite. It is of a vain old dame who desires to see her daughter Miss Clara Williams) married to nobleman, The new pastor-a young, ardent radica! from New England, is informed of the proposed match and he disap- pears upon learning thet the heir ess does not love the county. In order to defeat this marriage and to show the baseness of a loveless marriage the young minister brings woman of the streets to the rostrum of his church and there to his millionaire and fashionable flock he thunders out the Ques- tion: What is the difference be- tween this woman of the streets and those of you who would barter yourselves for wealth and social position in the market of vain de sires? The difference is that the world pities this poor creature"
 This sermon breaks up the en- gagement as the old millionaire brought to d realization of what his daughter and wife intendea to do, takes charge and diSmisses the count. In anger the count rushes to the minister's house and hits him over the head witt; his cane The vestrymen arrive oI, the scene to ask for the resignation of Cheir pastor, who had dared 70 preach the truth, only to find him un conscious from the blow.
