By Associated Press


 Ei Paso, Texas, May 6.-Facing famine in his capital city, President Carranza has sought to effect a compromise with the revolutionary forces, according to statements issued today by T. R. Belt ran, commercial agent for the liberal constitutional party at Fl Paso. The shortage in necessities has reached serious stage in the capital, one of the statements said, The dis comforts being experienced by the popu- lation are so intense that a number of labor bodies have addressed themselves to Carranza, asking him to take steps to remedy the situation by establishing bakeries where bread may be bought cheap
 The attitude of the working classes IS threatening and grave disorders are expected al any moment
 President Carranza was reported as having held conferences with Robles Do minguez, a leader of the opposition, in an effort to reconcile the revolutionists. The results of the negotiations, however. were not known here.

FINE BILL AT
 LOEW'S BIJOU

Two headliners grace the bill for the weekend offering at Loew's B!jou. The rest of the acts are all good, but the Nakae Brothers offer an act that is so unusual that it at cnce met with the approval of the audience.
 The Nakae Brothers are Splendid specimens of Japanese manhood with muscles of steel and uneXcelled in their art of jiu-juitsu. The trio offer a remarkable exhibition of self-defense that is both instructive and enter tainng
 Bobby Stone and company in a one act farce called Hearts and Flow CTS" in which two men and two women sing a little dance a little and say lot of funny things. The amusing eapers of the blackface member of the cast brought peals of laughter from the audience, and the farce ran the headliners a close second for the opening spot.
 The Templetons are a clever pair or feminine impersonators and put over their act in a big-time style.
 Mansfield and Riddle offer some of the classiest jazz dancing that has ever graced the stage of the Bijou theatre. Their act was short. but whe;l they finished they left an audience calling for more.
 The two Ladellas are clever par of youths. and mix their offerings of songs and ancing with comedy and acrobatics. They. too, received lions share of the applause.

 The Breen Family, an entirely diff ferent kind of act shares headline honors. This is a dancing novelty and wins the applause of the audience by it's real merit.
 The Doughboy Girl' is what Bessie Leonard and Ed J. Porray call their act. She wears some of the very

 Without word being said, Page and Green keep the spectators lauhghing througout their entire act. When they first come on the stage a burst of meriment is heard which never stops until the act is over. Eccentric fun sters is the way they term themselves
 One kind of act that will always be popular is an act with girls. Whethef they sing or dance or play does not matter. The mere fact that they are young and pretty is enough. While HowIand. Irwin and Rowland are all young and pretty, they sing and dance also. and the audience is very appre- ciative.
 A picture, Dangerous Days" based on a story by Mary Roberts Rinehart, completes the bill. This picture viv- idly shows the condition existing to- day. It weaves around radicalism in Ametica a touching story of love and duty.
