SAVOY.

While portraying a familiar char
acter-that of the renegade. embit-
tered against the law-william S.
Hart gives a surprisingly different
portrayal in his most recent picture,
THE Border Wireless" which formed
the principal attraction at Crandalrs
Savoy yesterday. where It is also to
be seen today.
The story deals with the discovery
by Steve Ransom '(Afr.. Hart) OF the
existence of a nest of German spies
just over the Mexican border line.
Operating q wireless. the gang is en-
abled to relay messages concerning
American plans to Berlin. A message
conveying the information of the sail
ing of Pershing's ships is intercepted
by Steve, who turns Il over to the
commandant OF a force which had
been sent out in search of him as a
law-breaker. Through this informa-
tion. he obtains a complete pardon.

PALACE.

Doug" Fairbanks is back in town
again-in the movies.
Playing in his latest picture, "Ari-
zona," Fairbanks IS probably at his
best. The role that the famous film
athlete takes in this photoplay is that
of an army officer. The picture Is
adapted from Augustus Thomas dra-
matte classic, ARIZONA" and the ac-
tion takes place shortly before the
Spanish-American war
Fairbanks. who takes the role OF
Lieutenant Denton, of the Eleventh
Cavalry. Is stationed in a small Ari-
zona fort. While there he becomes
acquainted with the daughter OF a
colonel and becomes engaged. AS far
as the colonel Is concerned Denton can
marry his daughter-but the girls
mother. there's where. the difficulty
comes in. Finally circumstances force
Denton to resign from the army. A
cloud Of suspicion is over him and his
engagement is practically broken.
What happens after that and the story
of his fighting COW punchers is por-
trayed in interesting detail.
The usual features, including sym
phony orchestra and pipe organ reci-
tails. with supplementary short films,
add to an unusually good bill.

The Germans on various sectors OF
the line are still hurling tons OF steel
against the British and French posi-

where answering them in kind. While
the present halt in the battle possibly
may indicate the near approach of the
throwing into the fray of the great
army which General Foch has gath

supreme commander of the allied
forces has not become apparent. 1t
is not improbable, however, that a

British and Italian representatives,

the tide of the battle will be upper

Miss Julia Deacon Dead.

Miss Julia D. Deacon died Monday
afternoon at 4:3o at the family home
on West Fl. Scott street, in this city,
after an illness of many months.
While she had been in bad health for
a long time her death came as shock
to her family and friends who did not
realize the seriousness of her condi-
ton. Monday morning she was found
unconscious in her bed and despite
the efforts of family and physicians
she died that afternoon without re-
gaining consciousness.
She was the daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Deacon and was
born in Fondulac, Wisconsin, Febru-
ary 7, 1866. About IS years ago she
came with her parents to this city,
where she has since resided. Four
brothers, Robert R. Deacon, D. O..
Deacon, A. G. Deacon and Harry
Deacon, survive.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
George Scroggs, of the Presbyterian
church, were held at the home Tues
day afternoon and interment made in
Oak Hill cemetery.
She was a quiet, home-loving wo-
man and except for her church, of
which she had been consistent men,
Der for many years, she took little in
terest in the social life of the city.
She will long be remembered by her
friends for her little acts of kindness,
which were always performed in her
quiet unobtrusive manner.

!. c. CLARK DEAD.
Prominent Citizen Passes Away
While Visiting His Old Home
at Otterville, Missouri.

J. c. Clark, one of Bates countys
Oldest and most prominent citizens,
died at Otterville, Missouri at 9:2o
o'clock Saturday night, April 27, 1913.
At the time of his death, Mr.. Clark
was visiting relatives at Otterville.
James Cyrus Clark was born in
Christian county, Kentucky, Febru-
ary 2S, IS43. When quite young he
moved with his parents to southern
Illinois and later to Missouri. They
located at Otterville, in Cooper coun-
ty, where he was united in marriage
to Miss Melissa Myers in November
1868 and had he lived until next No.
vernber they would, have been mar
ried fifty years. Two sons, Harvey
c. and Claud L., both of whom were
at the bedside of their father when he
passed away, were born of this mar
riage. In 1871 they moved to this
county where in 1876 he was elected
sheriff of the county by an over
whelming majority and SO we'll did he
discharge the duties of his office that
at the conclusion OF his term, he was
reelected by an increased majority.
While serving the second term, he
was appointed county collector.
When this term expired he was Of
fered and accepted the position of
cashier of the Bates County National
bank, which position he held until
1906 when he retired from active life.
A few years ago his health began to
fail and about month ago it was
thought that a visit to the scenes OF
his young manhood might be of ben
eft to him. so he and Mrs. Clark
went to his old home at Otterville,
where they have since been visiting
at the home of a niece and other rel
ativcs. He contracted erysipelas and
on account OF his advanced age and
weakened condition he was unable to
fight it off and passed away Saturday
night

and two sisters, Mrs. T. J. Day and

An old history of Bates county says
that J. {. Clark was perhaps person

Bates county than any other man.
He was not merely personally ac-
quainted with them but large ma
pority OF them were his personal
friends In politics he was life long

influence in the councils of his party.
He was a loyal friend. loving and
devoted husband and father and many
hearts we're saddcned in Bates coun-
ty by the news OF his passing away.

FOE FAILS TO BREAK ALLIED
LINE AT YPRES
Bodies on Battle Field of Flanders
Indicate Terrible Price Enemy
Has Paid for Small Gains.

Again there has come pause in
the battle of Flanders, where the
ground everywhere is covered with
the gray-clad bodies of German dead,
and the British and French are hold
ing securely to all their positions.
. From Saturday until we'll into Mon
day night, General Won Arnim's forces
continued their efforts to break the
British lines on the Ypres salient and
to press back the British and French
from the high ground to the south
west, but everywhere their efforts
were fruitless. True, they gained
their objective and again captured
Locre, but a thrust forced
them out again and at last accounts
the French we're holding the village.
In the hilly region just to the north
of Locre the British also pushed back
the enemy attacks at several points,
notably between KENNEL and La
Clytte.
Much of the snap OF the German at
tacking forces has been absent from
the maneuvers they have been carry
ing out in Flanders against the stiff
iencd line of the entente troops. This
has been apparent since last Sunday.
To the south near Amiens and to
the east around Noyon the enemy
likewise has failed in all his attempts
to push further forward. The British
east OF Villers- -Bretonneux, which lies
directly east of Amiens, have ad-
vanced their front and in the Noyon
sector the French have re-established

Bristow Again Stopped From Speak

Salina. kas., April 2o.-Joseph L.
Bristow. Republican candidate for
United States senatsor, still is strik-
ing obstacles in his speaking cam
paign.
When he arrived i'll Colby to make
a speech he found the town placarded
with posters. which said:
patriotic Americans, do not attend
the Bristow meeting tonight"
Owners of halls refused to let him
use them and he finally made an ad-
dress to a small audience in restau-
rant. The former senator said he was
not going to quit. but on the other
hand, hopes to speak in virtually ev-
cry county in the state during the
campaign.
Opposition to Bristow grew out Of
his frequent charges last year that the
war administration was wasting
money and playing into the hands of
the profiteers, instead of prosecuting
the war in a loyal, patriotic way.
