Big Lasky Production at Harte Theater
Tomorrow Night.

THE Emmigrant, another Para

ever presented on a photodramatic
screen, will be witnessed at the Harte
Theater tomorrow when the celebrat-
ed theatrical star, Valeska Suratt,

by the distinguished American drama

mount picture.
In this production gigantic dam

water, is blown up and he released
food undermines and destroys, large
country house In order to present
this scene with an absolute correctness
of detail, it was necessary that both
the dam and the house be built es-
pecially for the accession. Three times
was the dam blown up and the water
released before the final stupendous
effect was obtained. Owing to the size
of the dam and the quantity of water
which had to be backed up and the re-
pairs necessary, required more than
two months of hard work before the
picture was secured.

CONNECTICUT'S
 UNIONS STRONG FOR PRESIDENT I
Straw Votes Show Great Incli-
 nation Toward Re-Elec- ton of Wilson.

How will the Labor Union vote of Connecticut stand in the approaching Presidential election?
 Nobody has taken a complete poll of the Labor Unions of the state Cthere are over 500 of them) but there are many straws that point the direction of the wind. For in stance:
 At Stamford a few days ago a pri- vate poll of railroad trajnmen (broth- erhood members) was taken. There were 396 straw votes and here is the way they stood:
 Hughes (Rep.) ............ o Benson (Soc.( ................ l t
 Wilson (Dem.) ..............39 .396
 It has been claimed that tho rail- road trainmen are solid for President Wilson,. The result of the Stamford straw does not upset that claim. Another recently reported poll was that of Union plumbers in Hartford. It stood just 100 per cent. for Wood row Wilson.
 But perhaps the most comprehen- stve survey of the Union Labor sit uaton is that which has just been completed by the Literary Digest on national scale. In the current number (dated October D it reports the result of this test. Here it is:
 aThe initial striking feature of our investigation is that out of 457 labor officials reporting, 332 say that their members favor MT. Wilson, 47 find that their voters are for MT. Benson and 43 report sentiment in favor of MT. Hughes. The findings of 34 of f1cials reveal either a non-committal attitude or sentiment ''evenly divid- ed" and it is of interest to note that the ratio of the votes was much the same all through the three weeks of incoming replies.
 Again we find that in some 1ocali- ties where the sentiment is divided, MT. Wilson is credited with 50 per cent. and MT. Benson with 50 per cent of the voting support, while in fewer cases the division is made be- tween MT. Hughes and MT. Ben son."
 The Literary Digest reports that, its poll elicited reply from a high of Scial of the Western Federation of Miners, who says that the workers (who are the pubHc) believe that the present Congress under Wilson has done more for the workers than any ten previous administrations" and an auth ority in the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paper Hang CTS says that in his personal opinion which is shared by practically all his labor acQuaintances, a respectable minority will vote for Benson, Hughes will receive but few votes," and he adds:
 wilson's strength is based upon the support he has given to labor leg islation. When he was first elected, organized labor looked upon him with suspicion, as in the past he had ex- pressed disapprova1 of trades union ism. He has broadened out since he entered political life and is now in sympathy with the advanced ele- nent of his party. His friendly at titude and the distrust and dislike of Hughes will cause many membe to vote the Democratic ticket who would otherwise vote for Benson"

Among the radical Roosevelt men who have come out fof President Will soR, is William A, Walsh of Los Angeles. In a recent letter to Con- gressman William W. Kent, Chairman of the National Woodrow Wilson In- dependent League, he says in part:
 The Wilson men should take a more radical fighting attitude; the Iconservatives in the doubtful states will vote for Hughes in any event. One part of the fighting radicalism should be not merely to defend Secretary Daniels but to glorify what he has done. The treatment he has given and has tried to Have the officers give the enlisted men in the Navy may be- said to mark the dividing line between ''preparedness' and "militarism," and the good results Qf his methods are shown Jn decres@aa GeSertions ana .n- creased re-enlistment1.

OPPOSES MAN WHO WOULD BE PANAMA ATTORNEY GENERAL
American Minister Holds As pirant Unfit for High
 Office.

NPanamaS Oct 10-Protests by Will liam Jennings Price, American Min ister to Panama, against the appoint ment of Judge Demosthenes Arose mena as encouragement of the Re- public, have caused considerable comment here.
 MT. Prices objections to Judge Arosemena are based on the latter'e alleged anti-American acts, dating back to the time when, as superior judge of the criminal court he dealt with the cases of Panama policemen who shot unarmed American soldiers on the streets of Panama on July 4, 1912, and on two occasions in the spring of 1915. In these eases there was no doubt. to the foreign element, at least. that the policemen had shot with malice or in a degree of excite ment which bordered on criminal un- fitness,
 In the case of the Fourth of July riots, Judge Arosemena delivered an opinion in which he denounced the conduct of the American soldiers and found that only one of the score of policemen arraigned was guilty of misconduct. This one had been dead about month at the time the opinion was delivered. In subse- quent cases the American Minister insisted that Judge Arosemena be not allowed on the bench.
 Further venting his alleged griev- ances against the Americans, Judge Arosemena last year published, un- der the nom de plume of iLeo Franckn an srraipnment of the Amer ican conduct of affairs on the Isthmus in which he made caustic comments on Gov. Goethals and other American officials and the commissary stores of the Canal, which he claimed were running the economic independence of Panama. He has published other less virulent anti-American notes over his own name.
 Recently Judge Arosemena pub lished letter in which he disclaimed any anti-American feeling, saying the opposition to him was purely mat ter of personal spite. year ago he went to the Unted States ta study penal institutions and at the instance of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, MT. Price gave him a letter of intro- duction, in which he spoke of him in 2ommendatory terms. It is reported that Arosemena is using this letter 70 prove that Price once thought highly of him and has changed his mind for personal reasons. MT. Price denies this, and says he has no objection to Judge Arosemenas ap- pointment to any other post than that of chief prosecuting omcsSH

Ernst W. Piclxhardt. Editor of the SStingburg Und.) Signal. is of Ger man blood, and until recently his pa- per was printed in the German lan- guage. As an American, with no apologies for his German descent, he speaks through the Signal to other Americans of German descent. Among othar things he says:
 '"rhe Germans of the country, and particularly those of the third con- gressional district of Indiana, should resent the efforts of certain German professional politicians in the employ of the interests to prejudice the hon. est, loyal, industrious Germans against Woodrow Wilson. Now is good time to prove your loyalty to your country.
