KEPT AUDIENCE INTERESTED.
Presentation of "Carroty Nell" at Uni
versaiist Church Last Night.

Under the capable direction of Mrs
F. o. Hokerk, the ladies' union of thu
Universalist church presented very
successfully before a goodly audience
in the church parlors last evening th'
two-act light comedy "Carroty Nell.
Many humorous situations were in
volyed as the plot progressed which
kept the audience in very pleasant
mood
The setting OF the play was an or,
phan asylum, with its orphans, matron
other help and it's sham charity work
ers. ."CaEroty' Nell was an orphan
whose hair had gained a particularly
bright hue and she had mind of her
own which she succeeded in making
the mind of nearly everyone else. Nell
had certain inborn distaste for the
particular kind of social pests" who
came to the asylum for the purpose OF
examining the orphans with some idea
OF adopting them provided they answer
every qualification
So it all happened on day when
Sarah. sort of a helper around the
asylum, and the matron had gone out.
Having learned of the intentions of a
few particular bores who were coming
to seek children for adoption, she pro-
claimed herself acting matron and
wore a costume to suit.
With the help of the other orphans
Nell managed to make things hot for
the charity girls, Miss Croker. the old
maid, and the helpful cleaners. Partic-
ularly peculiar situations were in
volyed which added TO the laughter of
the first act And at last when the
matron suddenly surprised the orphans
and Nell in their new role, and when
things seemed all to 90 wrong. there
came a sudden reversal with the con-
clusion that everybody was adopted by
somebody they liked
Miss Beatrice Mower, playing the
difficult role of "Carroty' Nell, car
ried out her part very well, and as she
herself put it more than once, she al
WAYS knew she was made to boss As
Miss Croker, the old maid, Miss
Gwenyth Ladd was perfectly at ease.
The other characters were as fol-
lows: Matron, Miss Helen Cole; He
ore. the nurse, MISS Jullhhnd DlOfn3
Sarah" Hilda Allen; helpful CLEAN
ers, Leone Reynolds and Winona Grif
fifth; charity girls, Lillian White and
Bertha Bjorn; Mrs. Carpenter" Miss
Dorothy Ahern; the orphans, Alice
Bradford, Doris Ahern, Mildred Pat
ten. Josephine Caravelt and Catherine
Howie
Before the presentation of "Csrroty
Nell" five youngsters. Barbara Lane
as the fairy, Allan Barclay as the sail
or doll. Leonora Morris as "Topsy,"
Muriel Slayton as the French doll and
Billie Mercer as the jack in the box,
gave an exhibition OF how fairies can
turn dolls into real children to act like
real children. This little scene was very
effectively carried out.

BOMB SUSPECT
DRAFT EVADER
Tito Ligi Placed Under
Bail for Hearing On
Latter Charge
POLICE WILL QUIZ
HIM FURTHER
For Information Concern
ing Radicals Alleged
to Be Implicated

Scranton, Pa, April 23.--Police ap-
peared confident to-day that further
examination of Tito Ligi, imprisoned
here under federal guard, would lead
to additional arrests in connection with
the Wall street explosion of last Sep
TENDER. They planned to question the
prisoner further to-day in an effort to
learn whether he knows the radicals
who they believed TO be responsible for
the blast
Ligi was held in $4,000 bail at a
hearing yesterday before a federal com
missioner on charges of evading the
draft His trial was set for May 2
in federal court at Harrisburg. In
asking that high bail be fixed, District
Attorney McCort said he believed that
Ligi either was directly connected with
the Wall street explosion or knows
who was responsible for it,
Witnesses at the hearing quoted Ligi
as denying he had ever been to Pat
erson. n J., but admitting he had
friend there. 1t was from that city,
police have said, that the death wag
on" came.
Ligis whereabouts on September l6,
the day of the explosion, have not been
learned Investigators here announced
they have established that he was in
Scranton on Sept 3, but that his move
ments from that time until three weeks
later were unknown.

Lloyd George and BRAND
Discuss What to Do If
Germany Fails
AGREEMENT AS TO
A GENERAL PLAN
Conference at Yympne,
England, Will Start
Late To-day

Lympne, England, April % tBy the
Associated Press Exchanges which
have been going on for some weeks be-
tween the British and French foreign
Offices relative to what can and ought
to be done to collect reparations from
Germany win be continued here late
to-day by Prime Minister Lloyd George
and Premier BRAND, They will meet
at the villa Of Sir Philip Sasson, where
they have held conferences in the past.
The French plan is broadly, a pro-
iect for administration and taxation
for the benefit of the allies of the Rnhr
coal basin and some parts of the West
phalia industrial district of Germany.
Mr. Lloyd George arrived at Sir Phil
ip's villa, Belcaire. last night. NJ Bri-
and, accompanied by Philippe J. l..
Berthelot, general secretary OF the
French foreign office, left Paris this
morning.
The two premiers were understood
to be in agreement as to the general
plan TO be followed but it was said
they wished to have a complete mutual
understanding of what should be done
early in May, If in the interval the
German government should not submit
acceptable proposals. A fresh German
proposal is expected to be submitted
TO the allies Immediately but its Sc
rious discussion would seem to be con
ditioned on satisfactory guarantees Of
execution. Guarantees of a material
sort would not have been expected at
the time of the London conference,
early in March, but the situation is re-
garded by the French government as
having been greatly changed in Ger
many.
Information gathered here to day in
dicsted that Germany's latest offer to
assist in the reconstruction of devas
tated areas in France and Belgium,
would probably not exert any influence
on the deliberations of the French and
British premiers. II was pointed out
that Germany made a similar sugges
tion at the London conference early in
March, and that il was not seriously
considered On that occasion France
Teplleu sut ndu hiitduN spent upNdlus
of one billion pounds on reconstruction
and looked for Germany TO remunerate
her.
II appears that the present German
government is in a weak position. in
formation to this effect being received
from allied commissions in Berlin. A
certain amount Of indulgence had been
felt toward the German cabinet be
cause Of the knowledge that il did not
possess the united support Of the coun
try, which is divided among the impe
rialists. the two socialist parties, the
ren-ists and the liberals, with the pan
German sects and the SHINES group
exerting powerful influence. There is
slight probability, according to Official
adyices reaching the allied govern
ments. that these German political /
groups will be able to agree upon rep |
aration policy.
French government authorities are |
understood to raise the question wheth- I
er undertakings entered upon by the /
present German cabinet are likely to be
carried out by one subsequently estab-
lished
