ADJUSTMENTS.
At tho Grand.


Florence LaBadie in War and the
Woman" If you were commander OF
an army that had invaded America
and the wife of an American aviator
offered to get information for you,
and her stepfather, whose loyalty to
your cause had been proven, vouch-
ed for her, yet for some purely ment-
al reason you doubted her, what
would you do How would you test
her?
This was the problem that con-
fronted Arthur Bower, who has the
role of an enemy general in WAR and
the Woman" the big Pathe feature
at the Grand tonight. He got the
answer and conclusive one, in a
most unusual way.
"Babbling Tongues" a production
of unusual merit and appeal, of mod
ern society, is the the feature at the
Grand tomorrow night. The public
will find in viewing this photoplay,
the satisfaction which an unusual
production with an all star cast al
ways gives
Uncle TOMS Cabin.
Kibbles grand, superb, spectacular
revival of that everlasting old play,
OAClS Ou Sdplu, WHICH villa w
seen at the Grand opera house Mon
day, Nov. 5, promises to be theat-
rical treat in every sense Of the
word. The company this year is
bigger, better and brighter than
ever and numbers over fifty people,
among which are twenty negroes
from the sunny south, who have been
especially engaged to fill out the
many pretty pictures of the play and
present their famous songs, dances
and plantation shines" So thorough
and pleasing has been the production
under this management that the
press, public and pulpit have unani-
mously sung its praise, and thou
sands upon thousands have attended.
1t requires two seventy-foot cars to
transport the special scenery, thirty
head of horses, ponies, donkeys, bur-
ros, bloodhounds, log cabin and other
numerous novelties to make it the
largest production of Uncle Toms
Cabin" ever attempted by anyone

1t VIII Look Into the Situation and
viii Endeavor to Place Blame
for Lack of

An investigation to determine who
Is responsible for the inability of
Iowans to get coal was the result Of
the meeting of mayors at Das Mones

The Register says:
1.-THE mayors adjourned after pass
ing resolution asking Governor

thoroughly. Most OF the mayors are
members Of the Iowa League of Mu-
inequalities, and compose the commit
tee on defense and public welfare Of
that organization. They will have
their attorney, Clifford Thorne, as
representative at the meeting. There
has been too much of this passing the
buck was the mayoralty comment.
Governor Harding consented to con-
duct public hearing. Upon his re-
quest a committee Of three was ap-
pointed to serve with him in securing
information. The names Of those ap.
pointed to serve on the special com
mittee are John MacVicar, M. B. Sny-
der and r. e. McNutt."

that there were quantities of coal and
that apparently the miners were will
ing to work il permitted to do so.
The mayors intend to ferret out the
cause of the present trouble.

later, and blamed the railroads, the
newspapers, the miners and the pub

SEARCH
FOR ORPHAN
Omaha Woman Searches Chicago and
other Cities for Little
Girl to
Adopt.

Mrs. Charles Corkhill Of Omaha,
Nebraska, arrived here yesterday
afternoon to pay visit Of a few
days to her sister, Mrs. Q. T. Arend,
1912 Des Moines street.
Mrs. Corkhill left home about
three weeks ago for Chicago on the
mission of finding a little girl to
adopt. She had heard that a great
many French war orphans had been
brought to Chicago, and that the au-
thorities in charge were trying to
secure homes for them. When she
arrived in the windy city, she found
that this story was a myth. lady
at the head of one Of the societies to
find homes for orphans told her that
no children had been brought from
France. She then inquired if there
were any Belgian children, and was
told there were none in Chicago.
What few had been brought over
were taken care Of in the east.
Mrs. Corkhill then began her
cago. and found that the homeless
children were very few. she also
went to orphanages in other cities in
northern Illinois with the same re-
suits. She could find no girl Of the
age and appearance that she would
take into her home.
The lady informed the reporter
that she had not given up. She wants
a comely little girl about two years
Of age, and if there are any such
homeless waits here she would like
to communicate with the parties hav-
ing them in charge. She expects to
leave for home Monday.

NEGROES LEAVE
CITY BY SCORES

[By Associated Press to The Banner]
East st. Louis, ILL.,, July 3-Further
shooting was reported by the police
today, but without details, as the day
wore on.
Negroes by the score were seen
today walking out of town in fear or
a repetition of the horrors of the race
riot.
One group was attacked by whites
in a switch yard. Militiamen fired
their rifles into the air, dispensing the
whites. No attempt was made to keep
the blacks from leaving the city.
Twelve companies of national
guardsmen preserved order during the
afternoon, save for few minor out
breaks.
The number of dead could only be
estimated at noon. Twenty-seven
bodies, including those Of three whites
and a two-year-old negro girl, were at
the morgues and 10 persons we're
known to have received treatment for
more or less serious injuries.

Paris, July "A battalion of Amer

morning to parade on July 4. The
Americans were greeted by wildly en-
thusiastic crowds which packed the
streets through which they marched
to the barracks where they are quar-
tered. The officers are being enter
tanned at the Military club.
AS the troops marched through the
streets, groups of shop-girls, on their
way to work, slipped through the po-
lice lines and kissed the soldiers to
their great embarrassment. The
Americans were greatly surprised to
see number of children kneel in the
street as the American flag was car,
