There has been good advance sale OF
tickets, and good house is assured. The

Down After Exciting Chase.

Although suffering from q Sc
verely lacerated scalp and contu-
sion of the face, William Jones,
carrying a smoking revolver, yes
terday chased a colored man, one
of the two negroes who yesterday
afternoon at $40 o'clock entered

WAR REVENUE BILL
AWAITS CONFERENCE
Speaker Expected to Announce
House, Members of Committee.

The war revenue bill, to provide ex-
ecutive departments with 81, SOC, 900, 0OO
with which to prosecute the war, will
now go through with bang. This
was the promise yesterday of House
and Senate leaders, preparing for a
conference on the measure. 1t has
been passed by both Houses, eacn
changing the others measure. Thero
are several minor points of difference,
but the House will insist on only one
thing, it was learned yesterday.
House conferees are to insist on re-
storation of increased first and second
class postal rates. These increases
were stricken out by the Senate. but
II is Understood no objection Will De
made to restoring them. They will
produce $19.000,O0O in revenue. The
Senate raised income taxes and war
excess profits taxes, but the House
favors them. There will be no objec-
ton on this score. House leaders
said late yesterday they expected 10
iron out differences quickly.
The Senate conferees- will be Sena-
tors Simmons, Stone, Williams. Pen
rose and Lodge. Speaker Clark prob
ably will name the House conferees
today. If he follows precedent he WIFI
select the three ranking Democrats
Chairman Kitchin, Rainey and Dixon,
and the two ranking Republicans,
F1rdney and Moore, of the Ways ana
Means Committee. Senators Simmons
and Penrose are out of the city. and
conferences of the joint committee
probably will not begin before Friday.

DODGES Death TO
MAKE WAR FILMS
Intrepid Cameraman Flies Over
Trenches in France.

Juggling with death became the
speciality of Capt. Thompson, the in
trepid official movie camerman who
made War As 1t Really Is" under
the direct authority from General
JOffre. Judging from the pictures
he took, he got more thrills out of
the war than even the bombers, wire
cutters or airmen, who are generally
considered to take their lives in
their hands hourly. In the course
of the three months spent on the
front line in the region of Verdun,
Capt. Thompson risked nearly every
hazard possible to think of In
filming French warfare. where the
opposing lines were only forty feet
apart, he kept grinding his camera
when shells were bursting all around
him, and his camera recorded a YER
liable chaos of explosions, only a
few feet distant. Such daring mas
never before been displayed in p-c-
ture making and to this Is largely
due the success of his films.
Six reels of thrills are promised in
in his pictures which is now playing
at the Casino.

WAR RISK Director
TO RECEIVE $1,000
Cannon Amendment Is Adopted
Making Decrease of $1,000.

Little progress was made by the
House yesterday with the Sl76,OOO,0OO
War Risk Insurance bill. Debate
was under the five minute rule,
adopted to expedite matters. but in
addition TO offering numerous trivial
amendments members INDUCED in
several unimportant arguments over
words and phrases in the measure.
The result was that at adjournment
only one amendment had been car
ried.
It was one introduced by Uacle Joe
Cannon, reducing the salary of the
5000 to 5000 annually.
Parker, OF New Jersey, introduced
an amendment to do away with the
allotment OF pay and compensation
features Of the bill, but was beaten
a to %. He then submitted an
amendment to do away with the
proposed bureau. and lost, 64 votes to
%. His third amendment, to let the
secretaries of war and the navy
handle the allowance feature was
beaten, 43 to 20. and his fourth, to
let the pension bureau handle the
compensation plan, was lost by viva
voce vote.
Although The 100000 urgent de-
fciencies measure Is waiting action
and House leaders are trying to get
the Insurance bill through, there is
SO much opposition that its passage
can not be predicted definitely.

Prefer to Vote for Active Members
Readers Prefer to Help Hustling Candidates
Who Mean Business. Frank c. Rupp
Leads All Competitors Today

A number of inquiries have been re-
ceiYed by the manager of the ALI
Prize Club about members who have
not yet moved out of the 1000 column.
The inquirers asked whether some OF
the members were active, as their
friends preferred to throw their votes
and influence to some more active
member, who was really out to win
an automobile. This shows that a
number OF club members who have
not thus far sent in many subscrip-
tions can easily forge to the front by
becoming busy and showing their
friends that they mean business.
A few minutes chat every day with
your friends and acquaintances will
reap you big rewards.
No subscription canvass is required
Taking, for instance, some member
who thus far has not moved out of the
900 column. He or she, in the course
of regular bushes and ordinary daily
activity, will meet practically all oi
his or her acluaintances between now
and October l, the closing date of the
double vote period.
No matter whether you meet youl
friends or acquaintances in the office
the shop or dozens of other ways. cal
their attention to the fact that yOU
are out to win one of the automobiles
It Will mean no loss of time and you
can do it from day to day and get re-
suits.
The double vote period and the $50
to be awarded the most successful
vote-getter at the close of the cam
paign gives all candidates an OPP
portunity to increase their vote stand
ing and also enhances their chances
for one of the prize automobiles.
If you have not sent in your nomina-
ton do so at once. 1t is not too late
yet to Join the AIl-PTize Home Sub
scription Club and win valuable
prize.
