the Party.

indianapolis, Ind, August 3--Plans
for the reorganization and perpetua-
ton of the Progressive party as a ma
tional political organization we're
adopted here tonight at a conference
of Bull Moose representatives. The
conference, after a heated discussion,
decided It would be impracticable at
this date to reassemble the Progress
sive national convention and fill the
vacancy in the national ticket caused
by the declination Of Theodore Roose-
welt of the nomination for President
Instead the organization will put up
an electoral in every state where there
is the nucleus OF an Organization left,
bearing the name of John NJ. Parker,
Of Louisiana, nominee for Vice Presi-
dent, in the hope Of perhaps electing
enough presidential electors who
might prove the balance OF power in
the event of a close contest between
the two leading parties.
Among the states in which this plan
will be carried out are Louisiana,
Maryland, Wisconsin, Michigan, Utah
North Dakota and Minnesota.
J. A. H. Hopkins, of New Jersey
was chosen treasurer OF the rehabili-
tated Bull Moose party, and Matthew

members Will be named by Vice Chair
man Hale to cooperate with the fif-
teen members OF the national COM
mittee who refused to vote for the en-
dorsement OF Charles. E. Hughes at
Chicago on June 20 in rehabiliting
the party. This committee will meet
after the November election TO formu-
late plans for the perpetuation OF the
party. These plans may include some
kind of an amalgamation with the
Prohibitionists, Socialists and wo-
mems parties.

MISCREANTS ROCKED
LITTLE GALLANTS
Tqla Young ROmeOs Became SO EXcit-
ed That a Policeman Was Called
to Escort Them Home.

Friday night a party was given to
little folks of the pie size and
each little Romeo escorted his fair
Juliet to the scene of festivities.
Everything passed off merrily and
beautifully until the hostess babe
them goodnight, when each gallant
beau left the party with his belle as
proud and self-contident as con-
Quering hero returning from scenes
of, triumphs, feeling that they were
equal to any emergency that might
arise in the defense of the fair one
al his side. After they had escorted
the girls to their homes some of the
boys formed a merry party to talk
over their experiences as they wend-
ed their way homeward, as boys will.
Suddenly from out of the darkness
q rain of stones and brickbats fell
about them. The young ROmeos, feel
ing that flight meant safety, took to
their heels and ran like the wind,
when they found themselves headed

vision, whereupOn they made break
for cover in nearby Lee street
home, landing on the front porch
with the speed and noise OF a drove
Of Texas ponies, and arousing the
mead of the home from his peaceful
Slumbers. And from there they re-
fused to bulge until a policeman was
called to escort them home. In the
shadow of the big policeman the
erstwhiIe brave little swans silently
Wended their way hOmeWard.
The identity of the mischieyOus
miscreants was never learned. but it
is presumed it was the ruse Of some
disappointed rival to test the BRAY
cry of the fortunate escorts in at
tempt to place them in disfayor with
their fair little companions.

FACTS ABOUT
THE ETERNAL CITY
Interesting Information Concerning
New Feature Film Which Will Be
at Palace Theatre FridaY.

The photO-spectacle, THE Eternal
City" with Pauline Frederick, is the
most pretentious subject ever pro-
duced by the Famous Players Film
Company, the first concern to pre-
sent famous plays and celebrated
stars in motion pictures. 1t repre-
sents the first time that a prominent
American actress has ever been sent
abroad by film producing company
for the production of a motion pict-
ure. 1t was directed by Edwin S. Por-
ter, 1.-The father of the photOplay,'
Awho produced the first dramatic story
III motion pictures eleven years ago,
in collaboration with Hugh Ford, the
noted stage director, whose first film
experience it was. 1t is the first time
in the history of the motion picture
that the Vatican Gardens, the Coli
scum, the Castle of St. Angelo, St.
Peters and other historic spots in the
imperial city have been used as set
tings for a screen drama. 1t is the
first time that a regiment of the 1tal-
ian army, or an actual military body
of any government, was loaned to a
motion picture producer to pose as
film actors in a screen drama. 1t is
the first time that a motion picture
has inaugurated a new policy of such
wide purport in a theatre, that of
presenting a series of elaborate film
spectacles in the manner of regular
theatrical productions, to run indeti-
nitely and as long as their popularity
endures, with admission charges
ranging from % cents to 81. 1t is
the first time that the Pope has ever
been presented on the screen as a
dramatic character, and it is the first
eight-part motion picture ever pro-
duced by an American film company
Added to the beauty of the subject
is the vital, timely interest derived
from the fact that many of the an
cient and historic buildings that were
injured by the recent disastrous
earthquake in Italy form the back
ground of the screen production of
Hall Gaines stirring romance.-New
