lasco, the wizard 'of stagecraft, thus both facts are an assurance that it is unsurpassed as a spectacle and dra- natic offering. It is not alone in scenic investiture and costume per lection that The Wanderer' ex- celled when it scored such a tremen- dous hit during the long run at the Manhattan opera house, New York city. The Belasco hand robed it with loving care and spIendor and in the selection of the cast it was BeIasco who looked over the entire American leld of theatricaIs in order to secure the right person for each role.
 The story of the play is that of
 The ProdigaI Son. who. leaving his fathers home, goes to a. far countrv'' and there wastes his substance with riotous living" The hilsides of Judea with their beautiful verd,,ra and with fiocIs of sheep and goats attended by the shepherds and their dogs are shown, and the giIded pal aces of the absolute in Jerusalem where Jether, son of" Jesse, throws away his fortune in gambling and dissipation, presents a series of pie lures such as never before been seen on the American stage.
 The cast of brilliant players who will present The Wanderer' during its weeks stay in New Haven include Frederick Lewis. Florence Auer. Richard Thornton, Olga Newton. Henry .Duggan, Mabel Montsomerv. Louise Orth, besides a ballet led bv Francesca karmenova- formerly of the Imperial Russian Ballet.

PLAZA

If applause can be taken as any criterion, the Plaza patrons enjoyed the show presented there to a great CT extent than words can describe. All Bridgeport must have heard of the splendid bill for last night there was an unusual crowd on hand to get their share of the joy. Kitty Gordon, who has not been seen on the screen in almost 8 year, returns with a. triumph Adele" As an American heiress, who is one of the first to go to France as volunteer Red Cross nurse, she does some of the finest work of her screen career. The production was immensely interesting because it is taken from Adele Ble- neau's The Nurses Story" and is . true narration of Miss Bleneau's eX- pertences in France. The story lends itself readily to motion pictures and as result Wallace Horsley, who directed the offering, has made a picture that will rank as one of tha best produced during the year. The cast has been well selected and per form admirably.

Committee Meets Tonight 20 Consider
Plans and Will Report at
Luncheon Tomorrow

The sentiment Of the business men
of Deming gathered at luncheon at
the Armory last Wednesday was unan-
imously In favor OF taking over the
community work that has been given
such a fine impetus here by the War
Camp Community Service Everyone
of those present expressed himself as
emphatically against permitting the
community center that has been Of such
tremendous value during the days OF
the camp TO be lost 10 Dcming now that
peace has come Every city where the
War Camp organization had AN estab-
lishment is taking steps TO continue the
community side Of the work they start
ed and Deming, II was repeatedly stat
ed, cannot afford 10 fall behind.
Mr.. Bassett, the executive secretary,
whose work here in the past six months
has put the community work on such n
solid foundation, spoke briefly, outlin-
ing the advantages to the city from
community center, and not a dissenting
voice was raised. A suggestion was
made that the w. G. C. s. might turn
over the armOry as II stands In return
for its use during the war but as the
War Camp organization realized moth
ing and less than nothing from its use
this idea was discarded Mr.. Bassett
showed that the plant could be- operat-
ed for about $500 per year and
showed how most of this could be
realized from various uses TO which the
building could be put. The swimming
pool the finest In the whole southwest,
built at a cost Of $4,000. is included
in the property the organization wishes
to turn over to the city.
The following committee was named
TO take up the matter ON behalf of the
city: ]. c. Watson. A. A. Temke, f. l..
Norlhaus, Rev. X. l.. Houlder, DR.. F.

called to meet tomorrow night at the

BOBBY WAUGH HERE
Boxer Got Draw With Johnston. Who

Bobby Waugh. the TT. Worth light

sporting fans, was here between trains

against Speedball Hayden, the Nth
infantry middle-weight Bobby got
draw against Johnston, which looms as
a remarkable performance. even more
So because he was outweighed twelve
pounds.
This fight sheds queer light ON the
Johnston-Hayden battle, for no we'll

Waugh to beat Hayden. whereas this
draw makes him look TO be the negro's
superior. II rather confirms the opin-
ion generally accepted here that some
thing was radically wrong with the
Specdball when ne met Johnston at
Silver City, and there will be some
Deming money behind him i'm their re

at Imprisonment for llfe-the extreme

the boys had him covered with auto
matte 45's when he struck them each
on the head with an AK. There was
nothing In the circumstances To c0rrO-
bOrate his statements. On the other
hand there was evidence going to show
that In the dead hours Of night, when
in all probability the boys were asleep
he foully Drained them, dragged their
dend bodies to the river near by and
threw them in; hitched up the team
and drove away. The next seen of him
he was far away from the bloody scene.
He has never shown any concern about
the matter His callous conduct ever

this was not his first crime and that
his sentence removes a real danger to

Bandit Chieftain Took Juarez, but
Brought Misfortune by Firing
Across the Border
Twenty-fourth Infantry Troops Rush
Over With Artillery to Dis
perse Rebel Army

For the umpteenth time In the past
nine years Juarez is In the lia,elight.
For the second time In that period,
Pancho villa and his bandit army are
engaged in On effort to capture the
city. The first time they succeeded
this time, they succeeded partially and
temporarily for they foolishly fired u
few shots across the river into III Paso
Sunday night and wounded one person,
a Mexican girl, thus bringing down on
them the wrath Of the u. =. troops at
Ft. Bliss who Immediately rushed
across into - Mexican city to stop the
firing. Nee ess TO say, Poncho is not
going TO hold Juarez under such cir
eumstances. There were $500 troops
In the column that started after him
from III Paso, mostly colored troops OF
the oath infantry. One-tenth Of that
number could probably do the job they
set out to do, which according to Gen
eral Erwin, In command at Ft. Bliss,
was TO cross the border and dlsperse
the Villistas, no invasion Of Mexico
being under consideration. "As soon as
we have accomplished this" said Gen
eral Erwin, "and have assured the safe
ty OF the citizens OF I'll Paso then the
troops Of my command will be with
drawned to the American side"
The villistas were holding the race
track yesterday from which shrapnel
fire from the American forces promised
TO dislodge them very soon.
The villa forces made good their
boast that they could take Juarez at
will, and but for their unwlse firing
across the line might have carried their
success as far as the overthrow OF the
Carranza government. Whether that
would be any Improvement is a matter
OF much doubt. There is no such thing
as a good Mexican government any
more than there is such a thing as bed
whiskey.

NEW MINING COMPANY
IN HANOVER GULCH
Black Hawk Consolidated Has Opera
tions Well Under Way In Highly
Mineralized District

Work has been going forward quietly
for several months past which has been
laying the foundations for another big
mine In the Hanover district of Grant
county. The Hanover-Fierro district
has been one OF the steadiest producers
In past years. When under adverse
market conditions other camps were
shut down this section was sending out
ore, either iron, zinc, copper or silver.
The splendid success which attended
the Republic company's operations has
shown that the ore bodies OF Hanover
Gulch have by no means yielded up
their treasures.
A comparatively few months ago,
II. ID. Lidstone OF Black Hawk Mining
and Milling company which had been
developing at Black Hawk became in
terested In the Hanover district. Being
man of wide vision and long expert
ence In mining and being imposed with
what he saw, he proceeded to acquire
property and enough OF it to make big
things possible. Today he contols some
450 acres along what is known geolog-
ically as the Hanover fault and is pro.
ceeding In a business like way ia
thoroughly prospect the property, as
certain what ore bodies exist, their ex.
tent and their value and IL they show
up as Is expected, TO mine on a scale
that will make possible the handling OF
grades Of ores previously considered
useless.

wound, but was gassed In the Argonne,
aud still feels the effects. He expects

"SAW" JUAREZ FIGHT
j. w. Clark Took In Battle From Inter
national Bridge


]. w. Clark, owner of the Deming
roller mills, was at FL PasO over the
weekend and was lucky enough TO see
the taking OF Juarez by Villas raga-
mullins Sunday morning, or as much
Of II as could be seen from the interna-
tiOnal bridge. II wasn't much OF a
fight, according TO ]. W., and he opines
that a company OF the oath infantry,
who were guarding the vicinity Of the
bridge, and who were 'rarln " to take
part In the mix, could have cleaned
Juarez OF Villlstas and Carranclstas
alike in a few hours. "'I've been on
deer hunts" said Mr.. Clark yesterday,
where there seemed to be more firing
than il took to take Juarez. The fir
ing did seem TO he rather deadly,
though, for night fighting, for there
were quite a few killed in the fight
Had either side known how they were
losing thy would have taken to the tim
ber pretty quick"
Villas quick REIMBURSEMENT OF the
city after taking II was because OF fear
that u. s. troops would come over after
him Mr.. Clark believes. The order ia
the army to capture the bandit, issued
three years ago last March, has never
been formally recalled.
