WILLIAM 5. HART IN
 SQUARE DEAL MAN
 AT 0RPHEUM TO-DAY

A furious encounter with knives and six shooters, during which William S. Hart fights savagely against two op- ponents, is one of the stirring sceres of ''The Square Deal Man." the Tri angle-Kay Bee play written by J. c. Hawks and produced under the su- pervision of Thomas H. Ince, which will be exhibited at the Orpheum thea, tre Wednesday and Thursday.
 As Jack O. Diamonds, a gambler, Hart in this play escapes from two Mexicans, who had planned to kill nim. and succeeds in returning to the hacienda to rescue its mistress, young girl whom he knows to be in danger of the Mexicans' attack. It is during this rescuing attempt that Hart clashes with the band of "Greasers."
 A new leading woman is seen oppo- site Hart in this play. She is Mary MacIvor, pretty ingenue. As Virginia Ransome she is said to have given a remarkably finished performance.

Washington Mob Tears Down Banners Addressed to "Kai- ser Wilson"-Police Re- serves Quell Rioting.
fRv Review Leased Wire )

WASHINGTON, August IA good natured crowd of about 1000 men and women today bombarded the Woman's Party headquarters with eggs and de- stroyed several banners addressed to Kaiser Wilson" after similar ban ners had been taken away from wo- men who attempted to parade them in front of the white house.
 The disturbance shifting from the white house gates to the womans' of flee across Lafayette Square and bach again as banner bearers constituted to appear. lasted more than two hours. The police viewed it without interfer- ing until near the end when two ar rests were made.
 Jack Gottlieb. Washington youth who climbed to a second-floor balcony as the suffrageists headquarters and tore an American flag from a pole hanging over the railing, was held in $500 band and charged with desecra- tion of the American flag. He said he removed the flag because it had no place on such a building. Louis Lawy- che, a government clerk taken into custody in front of a white house gate after tearing down one of the Kaiser Wilson" banners, was charged with disorderly conduct.
 The women went back 10 headquart- CTS after their last banner was taken from them, followed by jeering crowd which fell in line and carried bits of the banners on canes and sticks. By this time the police reserves from sev- eral nearby stations were on hand and when the crowd found no more ban. ners were to be brought out, it quick ly dispersed.
 None of the women was hurt, al- though a few stones were thrown at the headquarters building and some of the bearers struggled valiantly but un- successfully to regain their banners.
 There was no organized mob and ac- tive participants were mostly young men from nearby government depart ments who seemed as much in getting a bit of banner or a piece of pole as trophies as in effacing the sentiments they carried.

'1t is for us together to continue to enforce respect for law and humanity upon the Pacific. from which the Ger man menace was removed at the com. mencement of the war. Had this not been so; had the barbarian of Europe not been rooted from his oriental bases, the shuddering horrors of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean would today be a grim reality on the Pacific.

Let us together fix our eyes upon the star of principle which shall lead US together most surely to participation in the triumph of the right, and let us hope. the last great war in human history.
 And when that victory shall have been won. let us together help in the upbuilding of a new world, which shall rise. fair and strong and beautiful from the ashes of the old"
