BY ALBUQUERQUE AUDIENCE

"watch Your Step" played ito a full
house last night The audience was
delighted with every scene and for
those who have curiosity TO see the
new steps, especially the shimmy, the
show holds wonderful attractions,
The syncopated music with the syn

cry and costumes was a whirl from
beginning to end.
Clay Crouch, the colored comedian,
made the hit of the evening and his
every appearance was the signal for
rounds OF applause. Miss Henel De-
laney's dancing was as graceful an
exhibition OF the art as Albuquerque
has ever seen.
In word the show was a success,
syncopated or not, and Albuquerque
thea tregOers enjoyed every minute
of it.-AlbuQuerque Morning Journal.

SHERIFF SIMPSON CAPTURES
BOLD AUTO THIEVES

Three men, who entered the garage
mt the Washington apartments, took
w. s. Fullerton's automobile and fled
southwark, were caught early last
night at Florida, twelve miles north
of Deming by Sheriff w. @. Simpson
of Luna county. They gave their
names as ID. p. Foster OF Chicago, Leo
Delgado of Dallas and Lester Anthony
of nowhere" The police here did
not know any OF them.
Sheriff Simpsons capture of the
men was timely. They told him, ac-
cording to his telephone message to
the police here announcing that they
were under arrest, that they intended
to abandon the car at Deming. Their
capture twelve miles from Deming
prevented their carrying out their
plan.
The automobile was taken between
10 O'Clock Wednesday night and
o'clock yesterday morning. the police
said, and the men made fast time In
reaching Florida by last night Their
speed almost carried them beyond the
net thrown out for their apprehen-
sion. They passed through Socorro
and nearer towns before the theft
was discovered and said that deputy
sheriff had ridden ON one OF the run
ming boards at Socorro.
The theft was not discovered until
Mr.. Fullerton went TO the garage
yesterday. The door had been locked
after the automobile was run out.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Banghart
left last night for Deming TO get the
acknowledgements Morning Times.

ASKS RETTER COURT INTERPRETATION OF,
 FIELDS WILL

Chicago, July 22.-Captain Mar shall Field, 2nd, grandson or the founder of the Field fortune, is about to ask for a new and more favor able court interpretation of the Field will, which disposed of m estate val ued at about s125, 0oo,o0o, and yet tied it up by intricate legal means to hold it together for generation or two.
 Captain Fields intention to seek a modification of the drastic terms Of the will became known as his at torneys, Miller, Starr. Brown, Pack ard & Peckham, were preparing to file a length cross-bill this week in the Superior court In February, 191 8 to construe the will of the late null ti-millionaire.
 While members of the law firm would not comment upon the pro- posed action in advance of the actual filing of the cross-bilI, it is said that it's purpose is twofold:

ENDORSEMENTS FOR THE LEGION
 OF VETERANS

New York, July 21.-President Wilson and the other big chiefs of the army, navy and marine corps have joined in endowing the Ameri- can Legion as the national organi- zation of American veterans Of the great war, according to an announce ment made yesterday:
 Besides the President, letters, tele- grams and cables have been received approving of the idea of banding the men together in civil life in one or ganization as they were banded in military life from the following for rner leaders of the men: Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, Gen. Pershing, Gen. March, Major-Gen George Barnett, commanding the United States Marine Corps, and Ad- miral William $. Sims.
 T am happy to have this oppor- tl1nity to address a word of greet ing and comradeship to the men who have served in the army navy and Marine Corps and are now banding h emselves together to preserve the splendid traditions of that service, President Wilson said in a letter re- ceived yesterday. I have had chance to see those men on land ana sea. at home and abroad 'Ihe spirit of their service was as splendid as it's success and the continuation or that spirit in the American Legion will make it always an inspiration to the full performance Of night ana difficult duties"

Republicans With Rank Deception
 And PartiSanShiD
SEN. HARRISON SAYS ACTION COMPAR- ABLE TO HELL HOUNDS MILTON STA
 TONED AT THE INTERNAL GATES

ous leaders would rather see tho star of their country dimmed than to wit ness the ascendancy of one individual simply because of a different political faith.
 You tried by every possible means to embarrass him. In a foreign coun- try, against a propaganda conceived by men in hamber, adequately financed and consistently prosecuted that his influence might be destroyed and his plans defeated, he won.
 And now you have organized the machinery of this body that the work that the work might be undone. The rest while pretended progressives of the Republican party buried all diff ferences and solidly voted for the senators from Pennsylvania (Pen- rose) and Wyoming (Warren) as chairman of the finance and appro- priations committees, while it ap- peared an awakening a the time, subsequent events a4ld the deliberate stacking of the foreign relations conn mitte against this treaty of peace, in cludtng the League of Nations. ex- plain everything
 Senator Harrison quoted Republi- can leader Lodge supporting Italy's claim to Plume, and continued:
 When China. stirred by express sions from your leaders, refused to sign the treaty, she received the most sincere cooperation and sympathy from you. When the representatives of. America were doing everything commensurate with right and justice to compromise our differences with Japan, your leaders did everything to widen the breach. You are still do- ing 1t.
 Nothing has been left undone by you to have failure written over the conference door at Versailles. Your action is only comparable to the con-
 duct of the never ceasing hell hounds, Milton stationed at the internal gates"
 The obtectiQns raised over the Mon roe Doctrine, withdrawal from the League, andSacia1 and religious ques- tions. Senator Harrison said, had been made "too allure and to deceive the
 unsuspecting public" He denied Great Britain could dominate the League, or that the Monroe Doctrine was not safeguarded. He con- tinued: v es.,..~ Opponents have appealed to the religious prejudice of the people, say ing the Papacy might control. I am | a Protestant, but I denounce as in famous such arguments.
 You have tried to arouse the Irish of the nation into believing that if the League of Nations is adopted Ire lands hope for self determination is gone. You have tried to arouse their prejudice. There is nothing in that language (of Article X) that could be construed to make 1t obligatory upon the United States to interfere in any way between Ireland and England. We might side with Ireland" That the Republican leaders also have sought to arraign labor against the League was asserted by Mir. liar rison, who said their argument was exploded" because of the part Sam uel Gompers had In drafting the la bor sections of the treaty and also be- cause, he said, virtually every labor organization in the country has en- dorsed the league almost unani- mouSly.

300 GIVE UP LICENSES IN
 BALTIMORE

Baltimore, July 21.-About one half of the 1,010 places licensed in this city to sell liquor have surren- dered their licenses. These include clubs, grocers, wholesalers and retail liquor dealers. Of the $50 saloons, moro than $50 have gone out of bus mess. The others are hanging on in hope that the ban will be lifted.
 A number of those who have giv- en up their licenses intend to con- tinue the sale of beer now on the market, which they say, contains less than 2 per cent. of alcohol. They have paid the government license which fixes the maximum of alco- hol at half of one per cent, but as the State permits up to per cent. they will take a chance. It will be for the court to decide whether the li- cense law has been violated.
 Since July 1 nearly all of the cab arets have shut down. The restauraYSs that sold liquor with meals are dis pensing beer as usual, but their bus mess has decreased. All the hotels have closed their bars. Several are installing soda fountains.
 Drunkenness has decreased 75 per cent in the city and only two arrests were reported by the Autom obile Commissioner last week for driving cars while under the influence of 1i- quor.

Washington, July 22. Partisan ship in their opposition to the League of Nations and the Peace Treaty was imputed to Republican leaders in an arraignment in the Senate today by Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis- sissippi, speaking In support of the League.
 Never before in the discussion of a great national question, said Sen ator Harrison. has deception been so lavishly practised and misrepresenta- tions so generously employed.
 Just criticism Is always accept able. But when opposition to inter- national policies, such as are con- tained in this treaty, Is founded on rank partisanship and personal dis like of the particular individual, 1t is worse than Bolshevism gone wild"
 Naming Republican Leader Lodge, Chairman Hays of the Republican National Committee, Senator Borah of Idaho, Senator Knox of Pennsyl- vania and others, Senator Harrison asserted that the Republican leaders had sought to embarrass President Wilson at Versailles and now were seeking to "strangle'' the treaty for partisan purposes.
 dppedl NO SOut Sdlu bAlO sissippi senator, "to come out from that spell of partisanship. Help us ratify this treaty, give to the people the peace they desire.
 Do not think yourselves wiser than your masters; do not think that the wisdom of the Republican party Is lodged in your membership. The thousands of men and women throughout the country who have never voted anything but the Repub- 1ican ticket believe that this treaty should be ratified.
 "Sirs if you to defeat 1t, let me ap- peal to you to meet the issue in the open. Do not put yourselves in the attitude of voting reservations that are meaningless or ratify it with a string tied to 1t, such a string that will strangle it"
 The reservations urged by Chair ! man Hays and the Republican lead CTS, Senator Harrison said are not only unnecessary but would require reconsideration by all the signators, "and destroy the hope of mankind for worlds peace"
 The republican leaders he charged with having sought to arouse racial, labor, religious, Irish and other pre- judices In their partisan opposition. Their real opposition, however, he de- | clared, was because President Will l son had a hand in making It." and | because the objected to the disarma- ment and commercial equality claus ! es. In this connection he pointed out ! that munitions industries are i'm | portant in the state of prominent senators attacking the treaty. "No argument has been too falla- | oio IIIe,+ Fa fa+o oI, ed," said MT. Harrison, flor you to seize upon in your desperate efforts | to beclcud the issue. They became | jealous of the growing of the grow | ing ascendancy of this man (PEesi- l dent Wdlson). He was becoming too popular. too influential. Your oppo- sition arose simply and merely be- 1 cause he happened to be the spokes- man and leader of another political ! r.arty. I had never believed partisan ship would become so acute that teal
