Socialists in Italy
Demand Release Of
Russian Prisoners

Rome. Nov. 29.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-The directorate OF
the socialist party today wrote
Premier Nitti demanding that Rus
sian prisoners taken over by Italy
from Austria-Hungary be released
Internationally,
The socialists say they will under
take to provide work by which the
Russians may support themselves if
they desire to remain in Italy. They
also demand that the government
negotiate with the existing Russian
governments for the repatriation of
the prisoners.
The Russians are informed on the
Island of Asinara, off the coast OF
Sardinia. The socialists claim that
the Russians are being unjustly
treated, Italy not being at war with
Russia. It is pointed oft besides,
that these Russians fought with the
entente against the central powers.
The letter accuses the government
with cooperating with the czarist
dictators, Kolchak and Denikine. by
permitting the Russian military mis-
sion in Italy to conduct propaganda
among the prisoners for the object
of inducing them to enlist in the
Kolchak and Denikine armies. The
propagandists are charged with us
ing iIhuman means to coerce the
prisoners.

ial.)-A. c. Thompson, president
of the Atlas Land Co. Of Columbus,
for many years prominent in bank

"Maids of'America'
At Gayety Keep the
Audience Applauding

The news that the terminal fuel
committee had ordered crepe hung
on all playhouses Monday failed to
dampen the ardor OF Bobby Barry
and his maids of America" at the
Gayety theater. Bobby put across
his jokes and funny antics faster,
the women principals sang sweeter
and the chorus girls danced with
more abandon in. order to prove that
the show was warm enough to 60
on without heat. The audience
proved that they would be able to
keep warm by applauding, but none
would admit that candles would give
sufficient light to do justice to the
beauty of the women leads and
chorus.
The biggest little bundle of fun in
burlesque, Bobby Barry, if such a
thing is possible, is funnier than
ever. "Flugle Street" in a new dress,
proved as amusing to those. who
heard it last year as to the new
Corners. George Leon, second COM
ic, proved an able second to Bobby.
Florence Rother as Sylvia, the
princess, was given an opportunity
to display selection of gowns such
as is seldom worn by burlesque
prinia donna. She proved herself
an exceptional actress in her dra-
matte roles.
May Stanley and Jane May, q
pair of real stage beauties, lead the
chorus in the principal musical
numbers. The stage settings and
costuming OF the chorus form the
most extravagant display shown
here this season. The six scenes
of the two acts are all examples of
scenic art.

MOST MEMBERS
IN WASHINGTON
FOR RE0pEN|NG
Sixty-Sixth Congress Con.
venes Monday and Both
Houses Ready to Discuss
Pending Legislation.

| Washington, Nov. 2o.-Prepara-
tons for convening the sixty-sxth
congress in its first regular session
next Monday virtually were COM
pleted tonight with most leaders
of both parties already here, al
though many members were delay
ing their return until the last mo-
ment.
Senate and house plans to adjourn
almost immediately Monday after
notifying President Wilson formally
/ of their reassemblage and receiving
the usual flood Of appropriation de-
partmental estimates and reports.
Mr.. Wilson's message, in which in
terest in centered on expected dis
cussion of the German peace treaty
and the Industrial situation, is
scheduled to be read to each body
Thursday.
The senate is expected to begin
work on the Cummins railroad bill
and the house on miscellaneous bust
ness when the session gets fully
started. House committees will
start work on the l6 annual approp-
ration measures to be enacted be-
fore July l.
Doubt Final Action.
| While the railroad legislation is
before the senate negotiations
towards disposal OF the German
peace treaty are expected to reach
a head, but with leaders on both
sides doubtful of final action before
Pthe holidays.
The program of legislation before
the Christmas vacation expected
from about December 20 to January
5, calls tentatively for passage by
the senate Of the railroad bill or a
temporary emergency resolution
and final action on the oil,
coal, gas and phosphate 1and-leas-
ing bill, the Edge foreign financing
corporation bill-both Of which are
in conference-and a few minor
measures.
The regular session of congress
coming on the heels of a special ses-
sion,. bears out many predictions
that the national legislature now
faces virtually continuous service.
The extraordinary session lasted six
months and many leaders expect the
regular session to run until next
October.
Last Session Before Vote.
The new session, also is the last
before the next presidential cam
paign. Although adjournment sine
die next June is the goal of some
leaders in preparation for the cam
paign, few expect that the Legislative
program could be completed by that
time.
The annual supply bills will have
right of way in the house as they
are completed. Republican Leader
Mondell, in statement tonight gave
Economy" as the watch word OF
the majority. Other pressing do
mestic matters to be dealt with in
c1ude formation of permanent poll
cies for the army, navy, merchant
marine and revision of taxes and
tariffs. NJ
In addition to the German peace
treaty, the senate has, pending the
French protective treaty, the Polish
treaty and that with Columbia grow
ing out of the Panama canals acquis-
ition. Transmission to the senate
OF the Austrian peace treaty was
expected soon.

The famous passage from St
Saens' biblical opera, "The De-
luge," is the subject for an inter-
probation on Victrola record this
month by 'Efrem Zimbalist. 1t is
a most interesting number, being a
thoroughly melidious composition,
of which Zinbalist has made a
wonderful record.
Lambert Murphy ssings two mod
ern tenor songs, both on his latest
Victrola record. Each has an ex-
quisite violin obligato that adds
richness to the, orchestral setting
and gives added emotional interest
to the melody of the voice itself.
Tell Me- is the title of one.
Warming is the name of the
other.
Victor Herbert has given a swift
answer to the question What are
American composers doing in the

Negro Melody.
Thousands have sung the song,
NELLY Was a Lady," on the stage

wept silently as they have listened to
it, but nobody. perhaps, has ever
sung the words with more perfect
artistry or with a nobler voice than
Alma Gluck, who puts into q new
Victrola record she has made Of this
song the expression few artists ever
achieve.
You never know in what fresh di-
rection Caruso's versatility is going
to spring forth. His Interpretation
Of the d'Annunzio-Tosti, GA Vuc-

trola record just issued is indeed
something new. 1t is, one of the
most delightful songs, in the popu-
lar manner, that ever came out of
sunny Italy. Additional interest
attaches to the song, as Mrs. Caruso
has made a translation of the words
into English.
Esther Walker is at it again. This
month she has the lovesick blues in
a song she sings on a new Victor
record, Blues (My Naughty
Sweetie Gives to Me").. On the re-
verse of the record she sings, Sweet
Kisses" a song of consolation from
the land of dreams.

HESE CHARGES
Brief Filed in Supreme Court
From Dundy County Airs
Schultz Family
Troubles.

/. Lincoln, Nov. 2o.-(Special)-
There was filed in the supreme
. court Saturday an appeal from
Dundy county which. should the
newspapers publish the contents OF
the brief, would be barred from Mr.,
Rurleson's celebrated mail carry
ing system.
1t appears that two brothers,
Charles and Henry Schultz, lived on
a farm in Webster county. The
wife of Charles died leaving them
with no housekeeper. Charles sug-
gcstcd to Henry that he get married
1 SO they would have-a housekeeper.
Henry thought the matter over a
while and then made up his mind
y that no American woman or any
:woman born in America was the
right sort of stuff to make good
wife. He said he wanted wife who
could ~"bake bread and milk the
COWS" and in order to get one who
Would come up to his specifications
he went back to Germany and mar
ssried a woman there and brought her
home.
! Everything went along nicely for a
time and then trouble began to brew.
Mrs. Schultz went to Denver and
discovered that women dress in a diff
ferent way than she had been ac-
customed to and that a "10-cent a
S3rd calico dress" was not becoming
IA her style of beauty. Consequently
she bought some fnery to make her
sspresentable and Henry charges that
sfke became attractive for other men.
MRS. Schultz denies the charge and
makes charges against Henry of
actions which if produced as mo-
stion picture would not be passed by
the board of censorship.
