PEARSON AT
THE ROYAL TONIGHT

Some of the things Virginia Pearson
does in ''The Love Auction" the Will
liam Fox drama which will be pre-
sented at the Royal theatre tonight,
are wrong, but deserving of the man
tie of charity. AS the wife of mil
lionaire, who is drunkard and whom
she does not love, Miss Pearson is
confronted with temptation and Sc
cretly joins a former sweetheart. At
tempted blackmail follows and the
husband Stays the blackmailer in a
drunken frenzy. He also kills himself,
but exonerates his wife from blame
before doing so. "The Love Auction
is a thrilling play, strongly acted. It's
theme is one of perennial force, and
the development of the story is calcu-
lated to make all women who see it
sit up and think pretty hard.
Miss Pearson is a niece of our ven
cradle townsDlan, Mr.. A. Cradle, and
| it is expected that the theatre will be
crowded tonight as it has never been
before. Aside from the local interest
the actress has the distinction Of be,
7 isssgr one or rng rearing howe sygrs o.

FIGHTING PARSON MAKES
MOST ELOQUENT APPEAL

One of thn finest addresses that have
been heard in this city was made last
night by Chaplain A. c. Shuler, mem
Der of the "Old Hickory" division in
the field of battle in France and Bel
GUM Chaplain Shuler, very APPLY
termed "the fighting parson," held the
audience in the street spellbound rs
he spoke. He is very earnest speak
er and does not have to stop and think
of what he is going to say. He was
so full of what he had seen and eXpe-
rienced that he seemed to hurry in
order that he might have time to tell
small part of the glory of American
arms. After speaking for some time
cf the accomplishments Of the Amer
can soldiers as we'll as of the Austria
liam and other forces, he took up the
cause of the starving Armenians. a
collection amounting to $65 was taker
for these people. Chaplain Shuler left
for Jacksonville on the 9:40 train.

A fatal accident occurred last night
at the east branch of Double Branches
creek about three miles east of Odds
mar on the Tampa-C Clearwater road,
when H. H. Hornbrook and Mrs. w.
S. Mcdonald were drowned beneath
their overturned automobile, in ten
feet of water.
Hornbrook was manager of the Con-
solidated Typewriter company, No
BOG Florida avenue. He roomed at
No. 405 South Boulevard, and took
his meals at the home of Mrs. Nc
Donald, who kept a boarding house at
1902 Florida avenue. He came to
Tampa about year ago. Mrs. Nc
Donald had lived here about fourteen
years. Hornbrook was about fifty-fve
years old and Mrs. Mcdonald about
fifty.
The couple had driven to st. Pc
tersburg yesterday, where Mr.. Horn
brook delivered typewriter, and they
were on their way home when the ac-
cident occurred. Autoists who passed
them just before the accidenr occurred
say Mrs. Mcdonald was driving the
car. The car shot off the roadway
just west of the bridge and plunged
down the sheer embanlIment about
eight feet deep into the stream.
Failure of either of the unfortunate
persons to fall clear of the car caused
their deaths, as neither one was seri-
ously injured by the plunge. Exami
nation of the bodies last night showed
that Hornbrook had four broken ribs,
and bruise on his face. There were
no signs of any injuries on Mrs, Nc
NDonald's BODY.

a roadster, and from the fact that her
hat was found few feet back of

The assassin, who was named lbra-
him, and is said to have been assisted
by two others, the dispatches declare,
is an agent of Italian propaganda in
northern Epirus. 1t is asserted that
the Italians have been melting the
I1oslems against the Greek Chris
tians. The French authorities contin-
ue thei investigation of the assassi-
nation.
On Easter day the peaceful citizens
of the twelve Greek islands occupied
by Italy since 1911, went to their
/ churches, and during mass the priests
spoke of the peace conference and Of
| Americas principle of nationality.
They asked their church people to ex-
press publicly their national aspira-
lions. The people, unarmcd ard II
good order, cheered for Greece, and
raised the Greek flag side by side with
that of the other allies. Whereupon
the Italian soldiers rushed into the
churches, dragged down the Greek
flags, beat and maltreated the wor-
shippers. When women refused to
surrender the Greek flag to be insult
ed, they were stabbed.
Two children Of not more than thir-
teen while struck in the breast with
bayonets cried out: Greeks were we
born, and Greeks we will die. Your
bayonets will not make us Italians
The Greek islands were occupied in
1911 during the war of Italy with
Turkey. Italy promised to evacuate
them. Instead, she forced the allies
in 1915 to award them to her in the
secret treaty. The inhabitants are
100000 Greeks and $4,000 foreigners.
! There are no native Italians. The
population wants union with Greece.
Italy has closed their schools, has eX-
lied their leaders and forces them to
sign that they prefer Italy to their
own country, Greece. The Italians
occupied northern Epirus in 1914.
General Bandini promised solemnly in
the name of Italy that the italian
forces would evacuate the autonomous
province as soon as the war was at
an end. He promised freedom of the
schools and of religious worship. In

A workable plan whereby scouts
who annex 1000 points in a5fyear are
known as Honor scouts hasSproved al
success. The success of this plan lies
in the fact that points once earned
cannot be taken away When scout
fails to qualify in certain subject he
is placed in lower class IN whioi1 his
earning power is decreased.
Fateags are yTade up weekly and
posted in prominent place in scout
headquarters. This necessitates con-
siderable record keeping, all of which
is justified by the results obtained.
Scouts go into class B automatically
for an Infringement of regulations,
but into class c only on tie decision
of the officers fthe council. The two
most frequent causes for disciplining
are untidy uniforms and unfamiliarity
with the simplest scout tests due to
the hasty examining of the latter sub
jects and an equally quick forgetting.
Each scout who earns 1000 points or
over by the annual meeting in March
will be awarded an Honor pin. The
three highest scouts in the city will
be given special awards in addition.
Scouts will be divided into three class
es-A, B, and c. Points will be
awarded as follows:

Operations Suspended
In Burkbllrnett Field
Production of Oil Exceeds the
Carrying Capacity of
Pipe Lines

FIT. WORTH, July 12.-The Texas
Railroad Commission has ordered oper-
ations in the Burkburnett field sus-
pended for a period Of five days pend
ing a hearing on the application Of
operators for a suspension of thirty
days. The big problem in the field will
be to see that the order is enforced.
The suspension is necessary because
the field had reached state of over
production and must be held until new
pipe lines are constructed to take care
OF the flow. The authority Of the rail
road commission over the oil fields has
never been very clear except that it's
supervision over the pipe lines. 1t has
no authority over the drilling of wells
but the logical course will be to en-
force the pipe lines to accept only the
oil now in storage in the Burkburnett
field and to refuse to accept that direct
from the wells which will compel them
to shut down.
to send inspectors into the fields to
see that the order is enforced once the
big supply Of oil in storage is cleared
and time is given for completing addi-
tional pipe lines into the field. The
development then may be resumed The
Empire Gas and Fuel Company, the
principal company of the Henry L.
Doherty interests, has announced that
it will construct an eight-inch pipe line
from Burkburnett to Nealdton, Okla.
which, when completed, will be able to
take care of 10000 barrels of daily
production. This new line will be held
to feed the Empires 1880 barrel re-
fnery at Gainesville, Tex Construc-
, tion will start at once
