LYRIC

''The White Sister, which Cecil Spooner is playing this week at the Lyric, is one of the most pretentious productions ever given in stock, and much credit is due the managerial de- pertinent for the very extensive and elaborate presentation of this wonder fully inspiring play. It is the most uplifting drama ever produced by a stock company, and Miss Spooner, in that wonderful character of t'Giovan- na,'' the white sister, gives a very striking performance. In it's entirety, s"The White Sister, is play of the highest merit, and every member of the big cast appear at their very best. PeH Trenton, as Capt. Giovanni Severi, is manly and admirable in strenuous part on the heroic order. Under the stage direction of Clyde Armstrong, and the scenic production of R. Craw- ford Benjamin, ''The White Sister re- suits in a great big three act dramatic success. Next week will be laugh week, when Nearly Married" will be produced.

 The troop was the first of the Ma tionaI Guard ordered last night by Governor Brunbaugh to the disturbed district.

Meantime, the Eighteenth infantry has been nobilized at it's ar mory here and the Tenth infantry was assembling at Greensborough, 50 miles from the strike section
 Large forces of coal and iron work lers were still on guard at the. plants of the United States Corporation in the Monongahela Valley.
 Interest in the strike situation shift ed during the morning to McKee's Rocks, where large forces of the Pressed Steel Car Co.'S. men struck yesterday. Three hundred riveters returned to work today but later the workmen in six departments of the plant walked out. The shops were mmediately closed and it was said the entire plant with it's 10000 work men would be closed this afternoon.
 A lone picket appeared at the Ed gar Thompson plant in Braddock soon after 8 o'clock and, taking a position just outside the Thirteenth street entrance, where the fighting oc-. cured yesterday, began making speech to the few men and women gathered round in the .drizzling rain. He was arrested by deputy sheriffs and when searched in the mill was found to be armed with an automo rnatic revolver. In yesterdays dis turbance two persons were killed, four were probably morta1ly wounded and a score received less serious injuries.
 Seven labor leaders, among whom were Fred Morick, a former Socialist newspaper editor; J. H. Hall. and Anna Bell. were arrested last night and are being held on a charge of being an accessory before and after the fact to murder Three others were taken into custody early today.

 Tive killed, A injured. Phone McNamara to meet m
 The corner of the note was torn off and apparently the letter 'te" was missing after the t.m, the coroner said. Hall refused to tell who Me Namara was.

Marine Engineers on Strike; Freight
 Piled Up at Piers

New York. May 3.-Steamship piers are piled high with freight which can not be moved and ou steamers lie at anchor in the harbor to-day, unable to reach the wI1arves because of the strike of marine engineers which has tied up 450 tugboats composing about 75 per cent of the craft engaged in such service in New York harbor Among the railroad companies that have acceded to the demands of the engineers are the Lehigh Valley Rail road, the New York Central and the New York, New Haven and Hartford
 Owners of about 30 other tugboats also have yielded to the demands of the men. Other companies declined to pay the increase in wages.
 With the expected arrival to-day Of the steamships Luscania, Espagne United States, and many steamers from Central American and coastwise ports, further increase of the con gestion of freight Is foreseen.
 There were intimations that a gen. erla strike of forty-thousand long shoremen- might be called to support that of the engineers.

Business Rushing, Railroad To Build
 New Ticket Office

Unprecedented increase in business at the passenger station of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road here has required the building of new ticket office, a permit for which was granted by the building commissioners yesterday.
 The new ticket office Wi1I be sit uated south of the news stand in the station, against the west wall. One exit door will be cut off by the new office.
 For many months, one ticket office has been insufficient to accommodate patrons during rush hours. It is re- ported that the business of the local station exceeds that of New Ha- ven.

breakers for the New York Central Railroad arrived in Poughkeepsie from Buffalo early today in the first step to head off a wa,lkout of all teIe- graphers, signal men and other classes of workmen involved in the threatened tie up. The coming of the men who are express and signal men, was accepted by union organ izers here as indicating that the rail- road officials did not intend to meet the demands of the men but would permit the strike to be declared.
 A New York Central Railroad off ciaI now here said today that the company was prepared to fill all posi- tions with competent men as soon as they are vacated.

GIVEN FREE REIN FOR PURSUIT
Colonel Slocum's Action In Sending
Troopers After Bandits Up
held At Washington.

Washington. Washington stands
sQuarely behind Colonel Slocum in
sending his cavalrymen into Mexico in
pursuit of Francisco Villa and his band
of outlaws who raided Columbus,
N. NJ, numbering American soldiers
and citizens and firing the town.
Secretary Lansing informed the de
facto government of Mexico through
Eliseo Arredondo, the Ambassador
designate here, that he trusted no OBJ
lection would be made to the action
of the American troops, they having
followed what is known in military
circles as a ''hot trail"
No orders have been issued for the
return of the soldiers and it is not
probable any will be issued for the
present
Shocked indignation Occasioned by
news of Villas outrage was quickly
succeeded by undisguised satisfac-
ton in official and Congressional
circles over the knowledge that after
three years patient forbearance
United States troops actually were on
Mexican soil to avenge the death of

M HELPS
BLOTS ON THE LANDSCAPE
Good Reasons Why Disfiguring Signs
Should All Be Removed From
the Public Roads.

The city beautifiers who have ex-
tended their pulchritudinOus measures
to the country will be delighted,
though somewhat ,abashed, to note
that the state of Pennsylvania has an
tedated them for some years.
An old and forgotten enactment of
the commonwealth forbids the placing,
erecting or maintaining along any
road within the state, whether state
highway, state or county or township
road, of signs of any description.
Road employees have been instruct
ed, since this old law has been dug
up, to tear down all signs that may be
fastened on trees, fences, posts OF
powders along the roads. Where
these disf1guring signs are painted on
the fences the workmen are instructed
to paint them out.
But what of the equally disiguring
signs within the lands inclosed by the
fences or bordered by the roads? Is
it the idea of the state that only land
owners may have license to disfigure
the landscape? That law needs amend
ing. OF what avail will it be to paint
out the sign, "Take Mapleton's Pills"
when it occurs ON a fence bordering
the highway, and leave untouched the
glaring announcement: "a dose OF
Humfuddlers' Bitters is just the thing
you need" simply because it stands
inside the highway fence? - Fort
Worth Record.

Health Sions.

Some public-spirited citizens in Vir-
ginia have started system of health
advertisements along the roadside in
opposition to the unsightIy patent
medicine advertisements which have
to great extent obscured the view
and defaced the scenery in many sec
tions Of the country. The former meet
with approval generally and have been
the means of bringing about a changed
condition as far as the public health
Is concerned. One of the signs reads
as follows: "The best farm in this
county is the one on which the health
Of the family is best protected" An
other contains the legend, Beware
mosquitoes! They breed in stagnant or
slOwly-running water"

corded Military Funeral.

Columbus, N. M-Military honors
were paid to the seven troops of the
Thirteenth Cavalry killed in action
when Villa raided Columbus

The bodies were escorted to the

Led by Colonel Slocum and his Off

efs who drove Villas raiders out Of
Columbus, escorted the bodies to the
station.
The regimental band, which suffered

Washington. American troops
were ordered across the Mexican bor-
der by President Wilson to take Fran
cisco Villa and his bandits, dead or
alive.
Under the direction, if not actually
the leadership, of Major-General
Funston, who ended the Philippine in
surrection by taking Aguinaldo single
handed. American columns are NOV
ing into Mexico. They go to meet
about 5000 guerrilla troops in a
mountainous region from which Car
rama troops have fed.
At General Funston's request, de-
tails of his orders were suppressed,
SO that he may move secretly and
swiftly. For military reasons, the
War Department declined to make
public the number of men to be sent
on the expedition.
Purely Punitive.
Whether this long deferred armed
measure to clear Northern Mexico of
menacing bandit bands over which
General Carranza has no control, shall
grow into a general armed interven-
ton or occupation in Mexico depends
in a large measure upon General Car
rama and the Mexican people.
After a conference with President
Wilson Secretary of War Baker issued
the following statement:
There is no intention of entering
Mexico in force. So soon as the
forces of the de factO government can
take control of the situation any forces
of the United States then remaining in
Mexico will, of course, be Withdrawn.
The forces of the United States now
on the border will be Immediately re-
cruited, but only for the purpose of
safeguarding the territory of the
United States from further raid
Secretary Baker explained that by
recruited, referring to the present
of troops along the border, or of regi-
ments from the interior to supple
ment the border control, were not to
be construed as a mobilization for an
extensive movement into Mexico. He
indicated that there would be no cam
paign to recruit the Regular Army
from peace to war strength.
No Thought Of Aggression.
President Wilson declared that the
movement was entirely in aid of the
Carranza government and without
thought of aggression. This state
ment, prepared by the President him
self, was given out at the White
House:
"An adequate force will be sent at
once in pursuit of Villa with the sin
gle object of capturing him and put
ting stop to his forays.
This can be done, and will be done,
in entirely friendly aid of the consti-
tuted authorities in Mexico and with
respect for the sovereignty
of that republic"

Don't Knock Your Home Town.

The man who talks against his town
makes a serious blunder, serious mis-
take. To do so is to help to create q
sentiment against the place where he
makes his living, place which means
much to him at all times and especial
ly when it is prosperous, and this it
cannot be if the citizenship is continu-
ally finding some excuse to deplore it's
existence. One of the essential things
in all towns is a successful business
organization. To attack this organiza-
tion upon all occasions means that the
town is on the downgrade and that the
persons making the attacks are assist.
ing the town to go further down. No
organization can make headway with
the citizenship out campaigning
against it when they ought to be out
speaking praises for it. If the citizen
ship expect to build town by fighting
its way for growth and prosperity they
are badly mistaken-Greenville (Tex.)
