INGOMAR THEATRE

Frank Keenan, in Brothers Divid-
ed" at the Ingomar Theatre tonight
is the feature attraction, and after
you see it you will agree that it is
Frank keenan's best. He plays re-
markable dual role Of ir:l;hers that
have differing hearts and minds !.
rs a drama Of American homes
Old Matthew King was cra5 #
ever there was one. He dominated
the town. He hated everything
and everybody. All the women
and children who worked FOR him
feared him and their jobs. The men
were loafers--thc town was a mud
hol7.
The picture overflows with de-
lightful human touchs Of sunshine;
of laughter; music, tears and flow
ers. The cast is a splendid ore.
Gertrude Andrews wrote the story
and Mr.. Keenan, himself diro"tca it.

800 CARS oFyCoAL HELD UP

Richmond, Va, Dec 1S.--"There
is far more coal being mined in
southwest Virginia than the rail
roads can :. handle or..'bring away"
said A. G.. Lucas, State mine in
spector, .who is here making up his
report of inspection. "When was
at lAppalachia ! there were 500 cars
loaded with coal that the company
had been unable to get the railroad
to take away. This number of cars
loaded with coal is increasing ev-
cry day. The same conditions OBJ
tain at Toms Creek, St. Charles,
Keokee, Imboden and other places.
"The miners are getting out more
coal than ever before, and it is
being allowed to accumulate in
quantities that makes one feel that
something should be done to re-
lieve conditions"

THE MEXICAN SITUATION
Senator Fall Says Gatranza Has
Again Shown His Contempt
For the Upiteh States

For the URited States
The defiance of the United States
by the Mexican Government in de-
elining to relihquish the legal pro-
ccedings against William O. Jen-
kins, United States consular agent,
was met without comment at the
State Department yesterday, be-
yond a brief statement from officials
that the text of the note had not yet
been received. although it had been
delivered to the American Embas4
sy at Mexico City.
But the diplomatic silence which
hung over the State Department was
not apparent at the Capitol, where
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, chair.
man of the committee which had
been investigating the Mexican sit
uation. declared that the note was
merely another evidence of Carran-
za's contempt for the United States,
Government, and in keeping with,
the indignities which he has heapedi
upon this country.
1t is also likely that the admins
tration will again retreat from the!
stand taken against Carranza. the
Senator said, and orce more back,
off, roll its eyes upward and wash!
its hand of the Mexican situation
with the proclamation of "peace on,
earth, good will to bandits"

LOUISIANA SUGAR
Consumers Made to Pay "a Cents a
Pound fer Cane Product

| Wilmington, Del, Dec. 1S.-
/ Large quantities of Louisiana su-
gar has arrived in Wilmington and
| is being sold at from 22 to % cents
pound retail. The local dealers
are criticising the government for
allowing this sugar to come through
at the price and declared that there
is no reason why such a high price
should be allowed for this sugar
which they declare is inferior to the
Cuban sugar.
IL is asserted that to allow this
sugar to come through at this time
merely assists the Louisiana refin-
ers in taking advantage of the pres
ent market and that it is unfair to
confine the retailer to price of y
cents pound or under for the Gu
ban sugar and allow this to be sold
for % to "a cents pound. In
the beginning a considerable num-
Der of people bought the new sugar
at the high price but now there ap-
pears to be tendency to refuse to
do so and to hold off until the Gu
ban sugar again comes in INSULT
cient quantities to supply the de-
mand. So long as the present scar
city continues, however, there are
some people unfortunately, who will
pany any price for sugar in order
to get it..

PETITIONS SUBMITTED.
Date Fer Vote on Good Roads in Aud
rain Decided Thursday.

Most of the petitions for hard sur
faced roads in Audrain which were cir
culated throughout the county were
submitted to the County Court Tues
day morning with over seven hundred
names attached. Several were not
turned in and it is thought that when
all have been accounted for the total
Of signers will be near the fifteen hun
dred mark.
Good roads boosters were busy plac-
ing their plea before the court all
morning and each seemed to be well
pleased with the attitude their argu-
ment was being received.
The county court HIS given until
Thursday Of this week for all the petit
tions to be submitted then final arran.
gements in regard to the vote on the
issue will be decided upon.
All the agitators for the hard sur
faced roads seem to think that the
court will set the date for the vote at
the earliest possibly time.
