EMPIRE

Breaking into beautiful country. having the Indian chiefs daughter save him from the law through her love for him, clearing himself from blame and winning the love of a wonderful girl-these things, you will say. are pretty "soft' to have happen to man who has fled the country to escape the penalty of cattle rustl- inE-but this is just what does hap pen to Harry Carey in "A Fight for Love" playing at the Empire thea Ire. The audience last night went wild over the scene where Harry fought the halr-breed on q deserted island, whence Michael had taken the girl whom Cheyenne Harry had learned to adore. And 1t (the au- dience) breathed a sigh of relief and pity when cruel Michael, half-Indian, half-white man, toppled over the olln.

It is a touching ad- nonition not to forget the boys who were left behind.
 There's a report fitting op the vau- d~vule bseeze that Charles King and Lila Rhodes (the former Mrs. King) are to effect a happy reconciliation
 Joe Neirneyer's individual success in the new Lew Fields show is be- ing received on all sides of vaude- vile where Joe danced in other sea- sons with much satsfa ction, as Joe TeBdTueu as one oE llle ilii oSol- working chaps on the ''big time" And the best part or all, Joe re- ceived wonderful press notices from the New York dramatic critics.

RUM SUPPLY FOR CREW OF
 BIC BLIMp

Camp Mills, N. Y, July 10-Mem- bers of the R-34's crew, in spite Of prohibition, yesterday were supplied with twenty gallons of Jamaica rum, which will form part of their rations on their homeward voyage. Each of the thirty members of the crew will receive two-thirds of a gallon if the journey is heightened by enough ad- verse circumstances as to mako it necessary for each man to have that much.
 That the men have rum at all is due to the insistence of Major Scott, who had his officers send a plea to the Navy Department, saying the supply of rum for the westward trip had been consumed on the way over and it was essential to serve his men rum on the way back.
 Major Scott has said that as tho crew would have to be up day and night for the most part, and probably would be chilled by dense fags, their only stinulant outside of tea would be rum.
 God bless the deliVeryman who brought that rum,' exclaimed Major Scott.
