"The COnquerer' Powerful Story Of Wall Street

Born in the slums, forced to work at day labor and anything at all to keep the wolf from the door, Mark Horn is embittered by the sight of the idle rich riding past in their car- riages. After terrific struggles, Horn rises until he is a power in Wall Street, where his ruthless methods have gained for him the name Wolf.
 He is invited to exclusive functions because people of society wish to con- cilitate him on account of his power Horn despises the idle rich and goes out of his way to humiliate them.
 At a social affair. Horn meets Wayne Madison o. Barney Sherry) Madison is sprung from an old family and is used to difference on that account
 Madison has invested heavily in West Central stock. Horn determines to ruin the social luminary and manipulates the stock so that it keeps falling. Fac ing disaster, Madison sends for Horn and wants to know what his terms will be to save him financially. Horn has become interested in Viva Mad- son (Enid Markey). the daughter of the society man. He dema nds the hand of the girl as the price for rescuing the father.
 The girl accepts him reluctantly but he brutally insults her by asking if she is aware of the price placed on her by her father. She calls a servant and dismisses Horn. Later he saves her father and then writes telling the girl of his deep love and respect and that had she gone through with her bargain her father would have been left to his fate. She realizes the test which has been applied to her and she comes to him. Everything ends happily. Will lard Mack as "The Wolf plays an ex- cellent interpretation of a hard role.

Coincidence Shows Humanity's Program

The long right arm of coincidence brought into being a strange situation a short time ago in a motion picture studio Side by side stood two re- markabe settings that depicted the same sort of place, yet the sets" were very dssimilar.
 A play of the most modern sort was being enacted for William Fox pro- duction in which prison scene was important It showed among other things the prison of today with all the changes that have been made by sanitation and better understanding of the purposes Of penology. Not far away was another "jail set" depicting the way in which were confined the unfortunates of the time of Louis KY. of France, either as q punishment or when awaiting execution The floor of this prison Was common dirt. and noth ing had been done to preserve the health or comfort of those within. It was miserably cruel and incidentally, reproduced according to old prints for the William Fox film version of "Du Barry"

PRICE OF SLAVES IN TACOMA CITY HAS
 GONE TO 20 CENTS

TACOMA, Dec. 2.-Get 'em sharp ened, or strop up the rusty straight edge razor.
 This is the gentle warning be- tween the lines Of placards posted in practically every barber shop in Tacoma today as follows:
 "Effectiye December 1st-
 Shave 20 cents
 Neck Shave 5 cents"
 Like a bolt from the blue came announcement of another increase in the high cost of shaving. In 8 few shops the new scale was effec- tive early this week, but it is be- ing generally enforced beginning to- day.
 The man of modest means, who is allotted three nickels by the wife for a daily shave, is the principal victim. Just how he will meet the advance is his problem today. In many quarters friend wife is all ready insisting that hubby invest in one of those dollar razors she has seen advertised SO much.
 And poor hubby, he gets it going and coming.

VICTIM OF SHOTS DIES OF INJURIES
 AT THE HOSPITAL

FAIRBANKS, November 20.-Yes- terday morning E. T. Townsend, of Rampant, passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital. MT. Townsend had been shot through both arms during an altercation near Rampant and both arms became infected with blood poison. His arms were rapid ly healing after being brought to the hospital, but he seemed to suf- fer from an internal shock and kept steadily growing worse up to the time of his death.
 The story of the trouble in which Townsend was shot is as follows. Townsend and Gray, the man who shot him, were working on Big Mi nook creek in the Rampant district. The two men had some trouble at Rahmsdorfs store at Rampant before shooting occurred. Gray came to deserted roadhouse on Big Minook creek and saw posted there sign warning away trespassers and sig ned by Townsend. He then went to rownsend's cabin From here on the stories of the two men differed
 Gray says he went to Townsend's cabin and that Townsend appeared in the door with a rifle, and he. Gray, fired at Townsend several times, firing high to frighten him, and then departed.
 Townsend's story, on the other hand, both on his death bed, and at he preliminary hearing. is as fol- lows: He heard his dogs barking on the 21st of October and came to the door to see what was the mat ter. On getting to the door he saw Gray with rifle turned on him, and Tray ordered Townsend to throw up his hands. Townsend ran in the louse and Gray fired, the bullet go- ing through both of Townsend's kept walking around the house fir ing through the windows for about an hour, and then left. As soon as he thought it was safe Townsend went out for aid. He was given first aid treatment as soon as pos sible and was brought to Fairbanks and placed in the hospital.
 Gray was arrested and bound over at the preliminary hearing on charge of assault with intent to kill. He was released on bonds and is said tc be at Nenana at the present time.

PARIS, Oct. 21--F'ree motion pic
ture shows are being given each
night to- the American soldiers and
sailors in France. The Army and
Navy Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation has made arrangements to
install a complete motion picture
outfit in every camp and seaport in
which more than enc thousand sol
diers CT sailors are stationed. Twelve
shows are already doing business in
the field and seven more are ready
fer action. Before winter sets in the
Young Mems Christian Association
hopes to have one hundred shows in
operation in as many different locali-
ties and to increase this number to
three hundred by spring
If all the men who want to see the
pictures are unable to Jew the first
performance, a second one is given
TIL shows continue from until 10
O'Clock at night.
French companies have been sup
plying the films thus far. Although
most OF the films were made in Amer
lea and show well-known American
screen artists, the American troops
expressed disapproval of the French
titles and with the British Young
Mems Christian Association whereby
films are exchanged between the two
associations Most of the films sup
piled by the British to date have been
made in America. The British have
fifty shows in operation along the
front.

JAPAN GETS DOMINATING
WEDGE, in THE PACIFIC
100000 SQUARE MILES OF TER
RlTORiAL WATERS TAKEN
BY NIPPON.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 21.-The
100000 square miles of territorial wa.
tiers in the Pacific captured by Japan
from Germany give the command OF
the Pacific to the mikadC"s land.
Will Japan be able to keep this
wedge of empire she has driven into
the Southseas-extending from the
Philippines nearly to Hawaii and to
the equator
While at first it was not expected
that Japan would operate beyond the
China seas, the world learned by Oc-
tober, 1917, that Nippon had seized
all the German islands in the Pacific
north of the equator
The British had already occupied
the portions Of the kaiser's colonial
empire north of Australia. Though
there was talk of Japan turning some
of the island groups she captured ov-
er to the Britain for joint control I'M
til the wars end, today Nippon re-
mains substantially supreme above
the equator on the Pacific.
Japan, because Of the great war,
now holds four groups of islands in
the Pacific Should they be her
spoils of war, these archipelagos
would give Nippon command of all
access to the east from the Pacific.
The northernmost group lies but
200 miles below the southernmost
part Of the Japanese empire. The
Mariannas have great possibilities,
covering an area CT 245 square miles
of land inhabited by only $500 South
sea islanders.
