"Wolf Lowry" is the title Of the
Triangle-Ince play starring William
S. Hart at the Tulane theatre tonight.
1t is produced under the supervision
of Thomas H. Ince and was written
by Charles Turner Dazey. AS
'"Wolf" Lowry, Hart turns from the
man of softer nature. This great
grim, warrior-like ranchman to a
man of softer nature. This great
change in his life is brought about
by meeting Mary Davis, who, he
thinks, is a settler taking a claim
in the midst Of his domain. His
friendship for her develops into love
and he becomes her champion. Buck
Tanning, a designing real estate
agent, visits her and makes coarse
and violent love. Lowry, on his way
to see Mary, arrives in time to save
her and gives Buck one minute to
live, but she persuades "Wolf" not
to kill him.

INDUSTRIAL
&. ACTS ADOPTED

| Washington, Feb. 1S.-Steady pro
gress of the movement to compen
safe for industrial accidents without
suits to prove the negligence of the
employer is noted in a bulletin is.
sued by the Bureau of Labor Sta.
tistics, showing that six new states
adopted compensation legislation in
1917 and 1918 and that only ten
states of the Union have not ac-
cepted the principle.
''The day seems not far distant
when the obsolete system of damage
suits and counter-charges of negli-
gence and contributory negligence
will no longer be used in the dispo-
sition of industrial injury claims" |"
the bulletin says.
Fear that such legislation would
entail undue burdens on industry was
said largely to have been eliminated
as result of satisfactory experience
under compensation laws and because
it is becoming better understood that
the laws do not cause injury losses,
but only distribute the burden Of
them on the industry as a whole, in
stead of, on the weakest element of
the systematic injured worker. This
realization has opened the way for
amendments liberalizing the awards
allowed.
Advances noted in the bulletin are
the shortening of the waiting time,
for which, as rule, no compensa-
tion is allowed, and the increase of |
the allowance for medical and surgi-
cal aid. A notable departure in this |
is the provision of the
Washington statute for local funds,
and administered by en-
oloyers and employees jointly, for the
more effective and equitable admin
of medical benefits.
Among important court decisions
m the laws was cited the Supreme
ourt ruling which denied the appli-
alton of state compensation laws to
mployes of interstate carriers.
The states which have not adopted
he principle of industrial compen-
alton are North Dakota, Missouri, !
arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina,
outh Carolina, Mississippi, Ala
anna, Florida and Georgia. II

FALLING HEROES
IN KAISERLAND

Munich, Jan. II Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-An exam
pie of the effect of the revolution
upon the fame of German military
celebrities is afforded in the fact
that the retirement of two we'll
known generals, Kraft Won Dell
mensingen and Count Bothmer ap-
parently caused not even ripple on
public consciousness. With scarce
iy word of requim these two for
merly famous army leaders, both
Bavarians, slipped into retirement
and apparent oblivion. Even the
monarchical papers announced their
action only in small type paragraphs.
General Kraft formerly was
chief of the Bavarian general staff
and afterward until the enc of the
war, leader of one of Germany's most
famous military units, the Bavarian
Alpine Corps. His corps probably
saw as much heavy fighting as any
in the German army. After serving
| as chief of staff to Crown Prince
Rupprecht, General Kraft led his
corps through the battles against the
Italians, Serbs and Rumanians in
Macedonia and at many points on the
western front, including Verdun.
General Kraft came into conflict
with the new government soon aft
er the revolution, which probably is
one reason for his retirement.
General Count Bothmer was the
only Bavarian other than Crown
Prince Rupprecht and Prince Leopold
to lead a whole army. He had re-
tired in 1909, but was recalled to
active service for the war and was
given command of an army corps in
the Linsingen army and with it
stormed Zwinin, the Russian position
on the Stryi river AS reward for
his success he received command of
the Southern army and was assigned
to cover Galicia, which he protected
against numerous Russian assaults
1t was his army that finally drove
the Russians out of Galicia in th1

SHIP CARLOAD

est broom corn grown in the West.
This exceptional and interesting ship
ment, which is the first broom corn
to be shipped from this part OF the
Imperial Valley, was grown by H. M.
Walling on the Robert Hays ranch,
10 miles northeast of Holtville.
To ranchers generally this crop is
of the greatest interest as it opens
the way to what may become a great
and thriving industry. So greatly
have the members of the CONNER
cial Club been impressed with the
possibilities of this broom corn that
they have already pledged them
selves to furnish $1,000 for the erec-
tion of broom factory in Holtville'
So gratified have Messrs. Walline
and Hays been with the result OF
what YVES to them an experiment that
they have decided to increase the
acreage for the next crop and antici:
pate a yield of ton to an acre and

highly elated today over tho news

legs for the opposition to stand on
said Mr.. Hitchcock, and opens the
way for an early ratification of the

Senator Hitchcock said that his only
objection to proposing the amendment
was that it might open the way for
other amendments to be offered and
interfere with perfecting the treaty
He was very glad that the President
had been able to get this amendment
in without bringing along with it a
possibly embarrassing number OF
other amendments.

REPUBLICANS UNLIKELY
TO URGE CONGRESS CALL

There was further discussion today
on Capitol Hill of the possibility OF
President Wilson calling an extra
ses son of Congress earlier than June
i. Democrats and republicans who
are in touch with the. work of the
appropriation committees were
agreed that an early extra session
would be desirable.
Republicans said that they do not
think it would be appropriate for
them to recommend to President Will
son the assembling of Congress, al
though upon them will fall the re-
sponsiblities when Congress meets
for framing the appropriations for
the support of the government.
1t was suggested that Secretary
Glass, as the head of the Treasury
Department, and more thoroughly
conversant with the state of uneX-
pended appropriations and deficits in
appropriations than any other indi-
vidual, may recommend to the Presi-
dent the calling of an extra session
