SPLENnID Production

Intense cold and counter attrac-
tions prevented many from seeing
''The Spreading Dawn" at the Rex
last evening, but those who wit
messed this Goldwyn feature with

closely and patrons should be pres
ent when the prologue is run. To-
night is the last run for this pic
ture.

Spreading DAWN" from the story

James F. Schreiner, a student,
whose father is a minister located
near ST. Peter, was caught in a South
Front street saloon last night trying to
obtain a glass of beer, although he
is less than twenty-one years old.
He was arrested and locked up at
the police station. This morning he
was brought before the court and
paid fine of $S65, imposed by
Judge Plymat.
Chief OF Police Klugherz comment
ed On the matter this morning as
follows: CAS- we have been requested
to assist in taking care of other
peoples children and to prevent
them from getting drinks in the sa-
looms, we are making a special eff
fort to bring all violators before
court and have them punished The
saloonkeepers are cooperating with
Us. We are doing everything pos
sible to accomplish this. The next
time a minor is brought in here and
convicted of entering a saloon l am
going to ask the court to give him
a straight Jail sentence and make an
example of him. Sometimes, it is
difficult task to tell whether a young
fellow is a minor or not"

ON AN ENDORSEMENT
He Declared That Presidents Good
Faith Could Not Be Questioned, But
Holds the United States Has Not
Kept Its Neutrality On Straight; Op-
posed Most StrenuousIy to PIunging
Country Into War
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. !

Washington, February AT lit
tie before five O'clock this afternoon
the senate by vote of seventy eight
to five indorsed Wilson's action in
breaking with Germany. The five
who voted against the Stone resolu-
ton were Gronna, Kirby, La Toilette,
aad Works. -.
Washington, February 7.-Senator
Stones resolution to have the senate
indorse the break between the Unit
ed States and Germany was taken up
for action Immediately after Senator
Works, republican, in prepared
speech assailed the presidents
course. Works asserted that the
United States has not been neutral
and if it had the country never would
have been brought to break. Works
said he did not question President
Wilson'S good faith but he protested
against this or any other movement
tending toward war for no greater
cause than has yet been given the
United States.
Claims Made BY Works.
That the United States has not act
ed as neutral country in the pres
ent great war, that Great Britain has
violated the rights of the United
States on the seas, that the United
States has stood for these violations
like an ally of Great Britain and that
there is nothing improper in the re-
prisals made by Germany against
Great Britain were declarations made
by Works in opposition to the resolu-
ton to indorse the action of President
Wilson in breaking off diplomatic re-
lations with Germany. This is the
first open opposition that the resolu-
ton has encountered.
Two democratic senators, Varda-
man and Kirby, also announced at the
outset of the debate of Stones res
olution that they would not vote for
reimbursement. All, however, pledg-
ed support if the country went to
war.
