school football squad and Coach
Garges departed this afternoon for
Huron, where tomorrow they will
meet the fast Huron high school
team. The players left. determined
to wipe out the sting of last years
defeat of the locals by the Huron

absence of Moore, who is still suf-
fering from an injury sustained in
last Saturdays game, the Madison
warriors believe their lineup retains
sufficient skill and speed to stop
the boys from upstate.

Coach Garges, were Cole, Tonne
raasen, Carmichael. Brinker. Kven-
void, Williams. Floe. Flynn, Rensch,
Holdridge, Harvey, Lowe, Elfert, Ny

usually strong in a practice game al

SARANAC HEARING
LOCAL BUSINESS MAN ASSERTS
STATION COULD BE MOVED
WITHOUT CONSENT.

Testimony of twelve witnesses was
taken at Saranac yesterday afternoon
in the hearing in the complaint
against the proposal to remove the
Saranac Milwaukee railway station
from its present location to a point
about -four miles northwest. Com
missioner Dougherty of the railroad
board presided at the hearing. 1t
was said today that it is possible that
a decision will not be rendered for
several weeks or more.
The hearing was held at the be-
hest of the village of Chester, stu
ated on the South Dakota Central
railway, three-quarters of a mile east
of Saranac. AT present there is no
store or other place of business al
Saranac. 1t lis contended by Chester
that If the Saranac station is moved
farther away and re~established in
Chester's immediate trade district,
much business from the country now
transacted in Chester would go to
the new station. If the station were
moved, according to present plans, it
would be located On land owned by
Joseph Henkin, Of this city. 1t is
said that the railway company, as
well as Mr.. Henkin, favors the
change.
Mr.. Henkin was represented at the
hearing by George II. Farmer, of this
city; Chester by Krause & Krause, of
Dell Rapids, and the Milwaukee rail
way by Capt. l.. b. Beardsley, of
Sioux City, Ia, division superintend
ent.
Mr.. Henkin said today hat the
new .ownsite would be established
regardless of the decision of the rail
way board. He explained hat where
business does not warrant, a railway
company cannot be compelled to
maintain a depot, although the rail
way board could insist on the estab-
lishment of a flag station at Saranac

decline and fall is the conflict Of per-
sonalities. Charles Waldron, who be-
trays his country for a vice-regal
throne at Washington; John Vassar
who fights vainly for preparedness, and
Virginia Holland, whose propaganda OF
racifst feminism plays directly into the
bands of traitors, are the three big
figures in the drama.
After a prologue exemplifying the
foreign immigrants debt OF gratitude
to the Union, the play proper opens
with the scenes of political conflict
preceding the great conspiracy. Vas
sar's national defence bill is defeated
in Congress. Virginia Holland, though
admiring his pluck. spurns his prin-
ciples and encourages Waldron, the
rrofessed friend Of peace.
Practically without warning the
storm breaks over New York when
10000 aliens Of European military
training rise at Waldron's signal, cap
ture the national guard armories over
night and train the big guns on Ne"
York's unarmed citizenry. The fleet OF

Douglas Fairbanks wiz return to

strenuous film exercise, as the pictures
in which he starred have given ample
testimony. Jim Kidd, a seventyyear-
old cowpuncher and studio hanger-on,
cultivated a great liking for Fairbanks
during his California sojourn, and
seemed all broken up when he an
nounced his departure for Broadway.
So Douglas is bringing him along as a
valet. A lot of people who now con-
slider the eminent Lamb Broadway's
best dressed actor may have to look
for another idol or model.

be the banner attraction at the Rialto

screen versions of Shakespeare to be
shown in this city, and the entire sup
Elementary programme of animated

with during its run.
Supporting Sir Herbert, whose film
appearance as the murderous thane
will serve as an extension of his
Shakespearian festival, discontinued
last night, is Constance Collier as
Lady Macbeth, and some score of lead
ing players of the Reliance studios.
The direction was in the hands Of
John Emerson, who will be remem-

pertinent, in that the adaptability OF
Shakespeare to film purposes and the
question Of whether the public is re-
ceptive to such literature on the screen
are yet to be determined. Interest in
the classics aroused by the tercente-
nary tempted the Reliance company to
make the experiment, and if it proves
successful screen versions of other
Shakespearisn plots will be made.
The picture is in seven reels. Start
ing at noon, six showings will be made
daily. A musical programme in keep
ing with the dignity Of the occasion
has been arranged. Sir Herbert and
Miss Collier are expected at the open
ing performance.
