Gold Bracelet Made

Goldsmith, Is StOLen

An old bracelet, made in 1854 by
the famous Ben Venute Of Cellini,
Italy, was stolen out of the home
of Carlo Copizzi, 1855 North
Eighteenth street, last night.
Though the sum OF $50 was also
taken by the sneakthief, Copizzi
told the police he valued the
Italian handmade article more on
account of a keepsake, it having
been given TO him by hiA grand
father, contemporary Of the lat6
Garibaldi. ....
The bracelet, one-half inch
wide, bears the hand engraving
Of Venuto and is set with three
precious gems, Copizzi said he
brought it to the states with him
several years ago, upon promise
that it would never be given to
any one outside of the family.

TION" comes to the En-
\ press theater for three
day engagement starting today. Ten
bright and gifted Riddles" of stage
land comprise the personnel of the
company. Mary Caroline Daniel, the
child orator of the Golden West, and
Charles Monahan, child yodler, are
featured. Master Charles Blake, the
smallest child, is the comedian. "The
Rising Generation" has been a ire
mendous hit with every audience.
Other numbers on the new bill in
clude a blackface comedy singing
and talking number by Harrington
and Mills; comedy sketch by Harry
and Eta Conley, and the Nippon
Duo, entertainers from the land OF
the Rising Sun.
What a establishment it is to
talk with Hobart Bosworth off the
stage! One would hardly realize
that he was the same person who
appears as the ruffianly sea captain
in the dramatic version of Jack
London's story THE Sea Wolf"
The portrayal is one of stark
realism, displaying the utter brutal
ity of Wolf Larsen. The one-act
play is the stellar attraction this
week at the Orpheum. There are
three other features of special
merit. One is the concert singing of
Grace Nelson; another is the song
and piano skit offered by Ethel
Davis and Freddie Rich; and third
is a girls quartet, -Four Butter
cups"
The current attraction at Boyds'
theater, THE Birth of a Race" is a
picture worth seeing. An unusual
characteristic of this war story is
that last-minute rescues are absent;
that the hero and heroine do not
bear charmed lives, and that trag-
edy is not averted. Although both
give up their lives for America, the
story is sincere enough to leave you
with the feeling of the worth of their
sacrifice, Of the bigness Of the
struggle and the value OF victory.
Two performances will be given
during the engagement.

Here are sections from the I. W. w.
preamble which Evans has carefully

THE working class and the en-
ploying class have nothing in COM
mon. There can be no peace so long
as hunger and want are found among
millions of working people and the
few who make UP the employing
class. have all the good things Of
life.
Between these two classes a strug-
gle must go on until the workers OF
the world organize as a class, take
possession OF the earth and machinery
Of production, and abolish the wage
system.
Do Away With Capitalism.
1T Is the historic mission Of the
working class to do away with capi-
talism. The army of production must
be organized, not only for the every
day struggle with capitalists. but also
to carry on production when capital
ism shall have been overthrown. BY
organizing industrialy we are form.
ing the structure of the new society
within the shell of the old.
Instead of the conservative motto,
"A fair days wages for a fair days
work. we must inscribe on our ban
ner the revolutionary watchword.
Abolition of the Wage System
These conditions can be changed
and the interests OF the working class
upheld only by an organization formed
in such way that all its members in
any one industry. or in all industries
IL necessary, cease work whenever a
strike or lockout Is on in any depart
ment thereof. thus making an injury
