that the management of the theatre de-
cided to rebook it for this week.-mrs..
The Law of Nature is a story with a
moral but so cleverly has it been writ
ten and screened that the moral is hid
den until you have enjoyed the exciting
story. 1t is about the life of young
man who becomes -enmeshed in the wiles
of an artists model, and leads a life OF
waste and sin. He reforms and marries
the girl he has loved before he became
tangled up with the model, but married
life proves boring after the first romance
is over. He returns to the old crowd, and
sinks deeper in SIM He is jerked UP with
bound when he faces prison tenn FOR
forging check and killing his friend.
How he pulls out of the mire and be-
comes a respectable citizen again forms
fitting climax.

KING OF IMITATORS
AT IOEW'C RIJOI

Frank Stafford could easily be styled
the king of imitators, for in a woodland
hunting scene he demonstrated to the
pa irons of Loew's Bijou last night some
surprising feats in whistling and other
limitations.
The act opens with a beautiful scene
in the heart of the woods. An English
setter stands pointing at an imaginary
covey. stafford. lin hunting garb comes
up. his rifle is raised, a shot is fired
and a moment later the dog has retrieved

Stafford initiates almost every known
bird of the forests and is very amusing
later when he chases a chicken al out

bumblebees. Miss Mary Stone, his CO.
partner, has wonderful voice, and the

POST CHALLENGES
PALMER TO BRING
ALIEN TO COURT

WASHINGTON, May 11.--Louis F.
Post, assistant secretary of labor, to-
day challenged Attorney General Pal
mer to start criminal proceedings
against Roberto Ella, who, the de-
partment of justice informed Post,
was actively connected in the bomb
plot of June 2, 1919"
In a memorandum designed for the
attorney general, Mr.. Post said:
eff the alien was in fact actively
connected in the bomb plot there
must be laws under which he can
be indicted or held as a witness in
criminal proceedings or both, under
the, direction Of the attorney gen
eral.
I'm such an important criminal
matter there ought to be no depor-
tation of the alien until he has been
duly punished under our laws for his
crime. To deport him would be. to
inal law. This department has no
other authority than to deport. 1t
can not lawfully hold any alien in
prison indefinitely. 1t must release
the innocent and deport the guilty"
Ella is one of two alleged anar-
chists arrested by the justice de-
partment and held secretly for sew
eral weeks in secret service head
quarters in a New York office build
ing. The other alleged anarchist re-
Gently committed suicide by jump
ing from the fourteenth story of the
office building.
At the request of the justice de-
partment Mr.. Post today increased
the bail of Ella to $4,000. He warn
ed the justice department that the
increase would hold only temporarily
to give them time to start criminal
action as he suggested.
According to Mr.. Post the deporta-
ton warrant on which Ella was ar
rested was issued by the labor de-
partment on February 26. Ella was
not turned over to the labor depart
ment, however. Mr.. Post said, until
May 2, a few hours after Elias COM
panion killed himself.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at
once drop out of sight and are soon
forgotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfil the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to medicine. A medic
ina1 preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in
need Of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation 1 have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy has so large a SALE"
According to sworn statements
and verified testimony of thousands
who have used the preparation, the
success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
is due to the fact, so many people
claim, that it fulfils almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
BLADDER ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutraliZes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad-

Radical Socialists
Demand Platform
With More ''Pep''

NEW YORK May 11.-Demanding
limitations CT citizenship and dicta-
torship of the laboring classes. the
Illinois delegation of the Socialist
party'S national convention today
opened an aggressive minority fight
for the radical principles" of inter-
national sovietism in the 1920 plat
form.
Struggling to defeat the "conserva-
tive forces of Morris Hillquit, four
Chicagoans-J. Louis Engdahl, Sam
uel H. Holland, William F. Kruse
and Irving st. John Tucker-battled
to substitute their program for that
given the convention yesterday by
Hilliquit and his platform commit
tee. The keynote of the Illinois sub
stitute platform was sounded in it's
preamble. which read:
"The Socialist party summons all
who believe in this fundamental doc
trlne to prepare for complete reor-
ganization of our social system,
based upon public ownership of pub
lie necessities. upon government by
representatives chosen from occupa-
tional rather than solely from geo.
graphical groups in harmony with
our industrial development, and with
citizenship based on service, that we
may end forever the exploitation of
class by class"
New York won the election of
Algernon Lee to be chairman of the
convention for today. Lena Morrow
Lewis, of California, was elected vice
chairman.

of a Socialist platform came up on
the floor Cameron H. King, of San
