French Press Rejoicing.
Paris, April 20.-The text of Presi-

too late for publication in the morning
papers, which comment briefly on the
gravity of the situation. The Matin
says:
"The action of Washington will have
far reaching consequences for the fu-
ture Of the United States. France
awaits calmly the eventual rupture
America could not give US greater
sympathy than she already has given
but we will feel moral JOY to see that

the present world tragedy"
The Journal in reviewing American
events, says that rupture between
the United States and Germany is i'm

STUDENTS APPEAR IN
SHAKESPEARE ROLES

The GROWING event of the weeks
tercentenary celebration of William
Shakespeare will take place in the
local high school this afternoon
and evening in the presentation of THE
Merchant Of Venice" by cast picked
from the English students of the
school. Twenty-four people are in the
cast of characters.
Practice for the play has consumed
the better part of a month. During the
past two weeks the cast has been
drilled with especial care by Di-
rector W. H. Garlough of Chicago, who
is managing the play and he reports
that the dress rehearsal, which was
held last night, was sure forecast of
successful presentation today.
The cast which will present the play
today Is composed of the following

SENT UP ON PLOT
He PLANNED HERE
Wilbur Robinson, Who Conceived
Swindle in Rock Island, Sentenced
to Year In Federal Prison.
ARRAIGNED IN PEORIA COURT
Beardstown Youth Pays Penalty for
Using Mails in Attempt to De-
fraud Chicagoan Out Of $500.

Wilbur Robinson will spend year
and one day in the federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth for the idea he con-
ceived in Rock Island of swindling a
Chicago man out of $500. He was SEN
fenced to that term by Judge Hum
phreys in the United States district
court in Peoria.
Robinson, alias Clyde Clayton, alias
Walter Redmon, is a youth with pom
padoured hair and burning desire to
emulate the greatness achieved by j..
Rufus Wallingford and some other dis
tinguished citizens. He is an ambi-
tious product of the town of Boards
town. He has spent one year in dur
ance vile and will spend another.
Robinson assumed various other
names, for no particular reason, it
seems, except the air Of romantic, re-
fined craftiness it made him feel.
Beardstown was too slow for him and
he wandered afield. He was in Rock
Island when he read in a Chicago pa
per an advertisement of missing
boy named Matthews. A great idea
had birth and he wrote letter to the
boys father in which he demanded that
$500 be sent to a certain address in
Rock Island with the threat that the
boy would never be seen alive unless
the money was promptly forthcoming.
Informs Authorities.
Instead Of sending the money, Mr..
Matthews placed the letter in the hands
Of the postal authorities. A letter was
sent all right, but with it went various
postoffice officials, and when Robin
son called for the $500 he was arrested
by Detective Cox of the Rock Island
police force and an inspector of the
postoffice department. He was taken
to Peoria by Deputy United States
Marshal Walter Williams. Using the
mails to defraud was the charge laid
against him. His youth, inexperience
and evident contrition saved him from
a more severe sentence.

the report Of Villas death was COM
mon among the poems in northern
Chihuahua and was generally accepted
as true. One very circumstantial
story sent to the head of a mining
concern operating in the Guerrero
district by his Mexican superintend-
ent, was positive that Villa had been
buried in the neighborhood of San
Francisco Borja, the hamlet where
the grave of the bandit has been re-
ported found. His story gave a num-
Der of details regarding Villas death
but 1t was discounted by the fact that
it related to the alleged murder of
an American woman by the bandit
just prior to his death. AS all Amer
lean women who have been in north
ern Chihuahua during the past year
have been accounted for, little cred
ence was put in this feature of the
story.
Change Supply Route.
Columbus, n. NJ, April 20.-A wagon
train laden with supplies started in
to Mexico from here today over new
route to Colonia Dublan which will
save approximately (deleted) miles.
Military authorities said that the road
through Boca Grande and Espia,
which has been used since the start
of the expedition, has become SO rut-
ted by heavy travel as to make the
breaking in of new road essential.
This was taken as an indication that
officials here have no confirmation of
current rumors that the base is to be
moved from Columbus to Preside,
Texas
Unofficial reports seeping over the
border today indicated that the pur-
suit of villa was yet at a standstill.

subject.
Wilkie Collins was esteemed highly
original when he created a fat villain
in Count Fosco. In modern melo-
drama a genuine villain is invariably
of a cadaverous build. though a fat
man may be. like Falstaff. rogue.

Yet for all that. nobody loves a

Reasoning along those lines. lean

A few changes have been made in the
team during the last few years, but
most always three or four OF the regu-
lars in HALEY. Krauss. Lewis. and Can
roll can be found together. The loss
OF Lennon broke up the combination
which made the l9l4-l5 record. and was
considered the greatest team ever de-
veloped hese.
1t Is doubtful II a duckpin quint can
be found In the East to equal the Royal

ton, which cleaned I'D most OF the
prizes in the A. c, b. A. tournament
last spring. and a large share of them
in the tournament the year before.
Through these bowlers Washington
pinspillers were introduced to new
style OF rolling. At least the Bostonlans
used different methods In shooting than
found on the local alleys. One feature
egarding their rolling was to be seen
I'm the fact that to a man they reduced
the amount of motion In delivering the
ball almost to minimum. taking one
or two short steps and sliding VerN
little In fact. they gave a good exam
pie OF the rule that the simplest way or
doing things Is the best. How aptly this
applies to bowling may be seen In the
generally low averages OF those who
make a show OF varied and fantastic
motions before releasing the ball.

To the average duckpln fan 1t is a
pleasure to watch bowler whose de-
livery is gracefully simple. and who
sends ehe ball gliding down the alley
with just enough hook on it. Ernie Mil
Ter and Nick Chaconas. both OF the
ers, Freak deliveries generally meet
with passing interest. with little mix
ture of humor. Few who have them
can he counted among the best PIN
spillers.
