Nolan. the chauffeur. She is witness
to an intrigue between her mistress;
and young profligate. The nurse ac-
cepts the blame, for the protection of
her mistress and the two small chill
dren. In the end, Nolan learns that
Nora is worthy Of his homage, and he
takes her away to home Of their
own. keeping the secret of her mis-
tress' guilt, and extracting a promise
from her never to see her lover again.
Thus the story has two happy end
ings.
Remarkable photography enhances

OF them showing an automobile
charging along the dark street, with
only the lights, and the reflection Of
street lamps on the pavement, visible,

REICHSTAC DUE
TO REASSEMbLE
German Parliament Scheduled to
Discuss Government Revenue
Bill Tomorrow.

Berlin, March IA, (via London,
March Is, 10:45 a. m.)-The chief
business of the reichstag when it re-
assemblies tomorrow will be the dis
cussion of the governments rev.
enue bills. 1t is understood that the
non-socialist parties are likely to act
as a unit and that the government
will get substantially all the new tax
es it has asked for and possibly even
more, as a section of the reichstag fav-
ors a tax upon extra war profits
heavier than that proposed by the gov
eminent.
A national convention of the cham
bers of commerce has adopted reso-
luton favoring the governments rev.
enue measures but protesting strong
" against any increase in the tax on
war profits over that already sug-
gested. Some complaints are heard
outside the reichstag that the bills
aim to obtain the new revenue chiefly
from the non-farming classes, where
as the farmers are now prospecting in
an unprecedented manner. II is prob
able, however, that there will be no
serious contest in the reichstag over
any of the governments revenue bills.

EIGHTY CENT GAS IS
GAINED AT CAPITAL

Springfield, ILL.,, March 15.-The
public utilities commission of Illi-
nOis handed down decision today
lowering the gas rate of Springfield
from 81 per thousand cubic feet to so
cents. The decision is the result of
the largest rate making procedure be-
fore the commission in the two years
Of its existence.
The decision is expected to affect
all other Illinois towns which are
fighting for lower gas rates, and is
said to be forerunner of a decision
in the Jacksonville, ILL.,, gas rate case
which has been pending for some time.
The Springfield case, affecting
$4,000 people, was begun soon after
the commission was appointed. The
hearings lasted nearly two years Over
four thousands pages of testimony
were taken by the commission repor-
ters; "a separate hearings consumed
81 days time, were held. The final
hearing took place Nov. 6, 1915. Com
plant was filed in January, 1914.
The 20 per cent reduction was de-
cided upon after the commission had
fixed the value of the gas company's
plant, for rate making purposes, to be
100000.

Factory Of Chicago Corn Pro-
ducts Factory.

Chicago, March 15.-Fifty deputy
sheriffs are on guard at the factory
of the Corn Products company at Ar
go today where a strike is in progress.
The men ask a minimum wage of 25
cents an hour with double time for
Sunday work and time and half for
overtime. Failure of the company's
New York officials to answer the strik-
ers' demands is said to have angered
the men and the deputies were called
for. --.------.----
The strikers yesterday picketed the
factory and are said to have refused
to allow food to be taken in to the
few employees who remained in the
plant during the night.
1t is expected a mass meeting Of
the employees will be held at Argo to-
day to consider the demands of the
striking contingent. The situation at
Argo become more critical early today
when a number of the strikers, who
had obtained liquor began to shoot at
random. The situation grew more
tense as the men showed signs of re-
neWed anger at rumors that strike
breakers were on the way to the fac
tory.
Bloodshed marked the strike of en-
ployes today. George Mademos, a
striker, was shot and seriously wound
ed by company Waterman or by one
of the 15G private detectives guarding
the plant.

READY TO CROSS LINE
Americans Concentrated at
San Antonio Only Await
Pershing's Order.

San Antonio, Texas, March Is
While the United States cavalry and
infantry forces today awaited General
Pershing's order to advance, General
Carranza's troops, according to infor-
nation received here, worked desper-
ately to capture Villa in order to fore
stall any entrance into Mexico by
American troops. From official and
unofficial sources, General Funston
received reports Of increased activ-
tiles Of the de facto government troops
but there was no disposition at his
headquarters to regard the activities
as anything more than evidence Of
Carranza's determination to cooperate
with the United States in eliminating
Villa. 1t has been reported here this
morning that the American troops
would be across the boundary line but
General Funston had received no adj
vices and said he did not know Cen
eral Pershing's intentions.
Funston's orders to the commander
Of the punitive expedition were in eff
feet move when you are ready"
Everything in Readiness.
Little in the way Of preparation was
left undone last night but there was
feeling at headquarters here
that General Pershing might wish to
delay his advance until practically
every possibility Of hitch In his
plans had been eliminated.
The general orders that have been
issued for the suppression of all news
that might interfere with the success
of the contemplated expedition into
Mexico served to keep the public in
ignorance of the exact number of
troops that will be sent in under Cen
eral Pershing, but is generally known
that the force will be not less than
5000 and that the greater part Of the
available troops in the United States
will be within reach If it should be-
come necessary to use them The con-
centration of men and supplies is vir-
tually completed.
