~ had a fight Moreno had a pair of
shoes that made a peculiar track and
it was through that track that he was
arrested. He has been in Jail since

rected and was so charmed by the
work that she signed a contract to ap-
pear under his direction.
"War Brides" is an intensely dra-
matte story, but while it has to do
with conditions brought about by war
there are no battle scenes. A trench
is shown, and the effect of the fight
ing upon the troops, but no battle
scene IS enacted. The main story has
to do with the sufferings of the wom-
en- at home. Joan, the young widow,
defies the military authorities, and
urges the young women of the viii
lage to refuse to become brides of the
departing soldiers. She is imprisoned,
but escapes, and leads a band of
mourning women to meet the king
and protest against war Fer own in

Application was filed in the federal
court yesterday for permission to
take testimony from Captain Alfred
L. Anderson, late master of the Swed-
ish steamship Gamen, which was de-
stroyed by submarine on September 6.
1916. The application is made in the
case of H. Baars and Company
against the North British Insurance
Company, and states that it is on the
testimony of the captain that the
plaintiff seeks to establish its claim
to $4,000 damages in default of pay
n:ent of policy which is alleged to
have been issued covering voyage
from London to some gulf port o.
ports.
The case was originally brought in
the circuit court for this circuit, but
transcript of all records has been
made and the case transferred to the
federal court. Captain Anderson lives
in Heilsborg, Sweden, and it will be
necessary to commission an officer
there to take his testimony and send
it to the local court.
