GRAND THEATRE TOMORROW

Alan Macdonald calmly worked
his HOMESTEAD claim while the cattle
barons pressed him hard on all sides.
First they tried persuasion, then
force. but when Scotchman decides
that he "will ma" there seems to be
nothing under the light Of heaven
that will move him. And so Alan
Macdonald continued to work his
claim with the greatest dcliberation
while the money and crafty cunning
Of his rich ncighbors was employed
against hin.
Then came desperation when they
hired a professional "killer' to make
way with him.
How he escapes death and how he
wins the love Of girl who at first
doubted him is a remarkable story
based On frontier history.

PORT CHESTER. N. Y, April 10
Housing conditions of Port Chester
are very congested. Village President
Arthur r. Wilcox stated to-day that
the demand for homes of all classes
has never been q cater than at present.
Steps are to be taken in the future
by the Port Chester Community Vel
fare Association to remedy the worst
conditions. The congested conditions
in New. York City affect this com
nunity but little. The growth during
tho last two years has been normal,
but very few now homes have been
erected during that period because Of
tho exceptionally high cost Of build
ing. Tho location here Of several Now
York garment manufacturing plants
has caused the migration Of few
hundred employees from Now York TO
Port Chester. The population is 1900.

Governor Alfred E. Smith last night
at the annual jefferson Dinner of the
National Democratic Club at the Hotel
Astor, charged the Republican-con-
trolled State Assembly with fostering
Bolshevism, because the Assembly
seems disposed to refuse to pass vari-
Gus bills advocated by the Governor.
Among these are bills providing the
eight-hour day for women, minimum
wages for women and childfen, health
insurance for women and municipal
ownership for cities. He said there are
more than eighty-two men in the AS
sembly willing to vote favorably on
these measures, if the Assembly bosses
would let them.
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
dwelt almost wholly on national issues,
praising President Wilson and the
league of nations.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy, sketched the work
of the navy in policing, with the aid of
the British and the Italians, the North

Says Baron Rosen
No Government Now Exists.
He Asserts, That Should
Be Recognized as Repre-

Unless the tide of Bolshevism is
stemmcd it ultimately will be the doom
of civilization, Baron Roman Rosen,
formerly Russian Ambassador to the
United States declared yesterday in an
address before the Brooklyn Chamber
of Commerce.
1t was his first public speech since
he arrived in this country from Stock
holm, after escaping from Russia with
his wife and daughter. He was one of
the peace plenipotentaries who settled
the war between Russia and Japan.
Speaking of Russia's plight under
the Bolshevik regime, he declared no
words could describe the horror of the
present Russian situation.
Russia as Il political entity has
ceased to exist" said Baron Rosen
There is at present no political party
nor. body of men which could be held

Ex-kaiser's Return to
Germany Is Opposed

GUMLIGEN, Switzerland, April 12.-
(By The Associated Press ).-"I do not
believe the present German majority
government Of Ebert and Scheidemann
Of the Independent republican govern
ments in Germany will exist much
longer" said Dr.. William Muehlon. the
former Krupp director, to The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent to-day.
THE reason is that the Socialist par
ties which voted war funds in 1914
are too closely attached to the i'm
perialist panGerman and junker re-
gimes and are discredited abroad
On the question of the present posi-
ton and the future of the former Ger
man Emperor, DR.. Muehlon said:
at would be far better for us for
the Allies to keep the former Kaiser
than to return him to us, because we
should not know what to do with him.
We do not desire his return to Ger
many"
Asked If he thought the former En-.
peror was responsible for the war, Dr..
Muehlon replied:
Yes, he was. If the Kaiser had
raised finger against Vienna war
never would have come"

Greenwich Building Boom
Blocked by High Prices

GREENWICH, Conn, April 1.-THE
congestion in New York City is affecting
houses in Greenwich, but not the rents.
Real estate agents here say there is
great scarcity Of unfurnishcd houses.
In several instances people who have
come here from New York and other
places to rent houses for the season,
being unable to find suitable places,
have purchased estates through local
brokers.
One Of the leading men in the build
ing trade says that he knows Of fifty
or more mechanics who want to come
here to work, but arc unable to find
houses. There has been an unusual
demand for houses here this season
and there are a number Of furnished
ones still left. Because of this con-
gestion the population of the town, es-
timated at about $4,000, has grown
but little during the last year.
This is principally due to the fact
that there is but little building going
on because Of the high cost Of mate

Besides giving expression to this be-

1T was her uncertain recollection that
her maid bought a $50 bond for her.

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, April 12.--
Due to a great extent to the influx of
New York City residents, forced to
move here because of advanced rents
in the metropolis, the population of
New Rochelle has been added to by
from 1000 to 1000 persons during the
last twelve months. Mayor Frederick
II. Waldorf declared that there is not
house in New Rochelle untenanted
1--WE are in the midst of tremendous
development boom." said the Mayor.
"People who lived in New York for
years are focking to New Rochelle
and where they formerly were
rent payers they are buying homes.
This city has never experienced
such a BODYBUILDING boom as is
at present going on. Houses are
sold from the plans before even the
foundations are started. Old houses find
ready buyers at advantageous terms.
Beyond any doubt the abnormal in
crease in population-and the most of
those who move into New Rochelle are
buyers, not rent payersis due to the
high rents in New York City. New
Rochelle is making the best Of con-
dtions and is beneftting greatly
thereby"
