STREET RAILWAYS IN
BERLIN LOSE MONEY

Berlin. Jan. 1.-Street railways
in Berlin have been operated at a
loss of 49.000,000 marks during the
first nine months of municipal
ownership, and in spite of inoreas-
ed fare it is estimated this loss will
reach 60.O00,000 marks before the
end of the first year. Fares al
ready have been increased from 80
to so pfennigs and it is proposed
to further increase them one mark.
Increased wages and higher
costs for power are given as the
chief reason for the large deficit.
Although employees have been
given several wage increases, de-
mands for more pay have been al
ways pending. with the threat Of
strike If they are not granted.
In view of the financial situation
and ever-increasing wage demands
it has been suggested that COM
mittee be created to keep work
men informed about the operation
and cost of the street railway sys-
tenn, in the hope that well inform
ed employees will be more moderate.
Some of the supporters of munich
pal plan is being discredited by
workmen who make unusual de-
mands and threats.
They also demand a more care
full check on the management of
the street railways, particularly
with regard to expenditures.

FAMOUS STAGE PLAY
AS SCREEN THRILLER,
NOW AT THE LYRIC

Is Someone in the House" a
Metro special production with an
all-star cast, which comes to the
Lyric theater today, for two days,
motion picture lovers will have
the opportunity to see this famous
mystery drama which won such
iaurels on the speaking stage.
All those tense situations which
made the original stage play such
a strong lure by their powerful bid
for the unexpected have been pre-
served in the silver sheet version
and the language of pictures has
even proved more effective in
bringing out that atmosphere OF
the musical which runs all through
the drama.
The famous mystery story has as
its triple authors Larry Evans
George s. Kaufman and Walter
Percival. 1t is the story of socie-
ty crook, polished in all the ways
that appeal in high life. He works
his way into the confidence of the
beautiful daughter of a wealthy
family and schemes to betray thai
confidence in procuring the famous
Brent diamonds. Everything works
with machine like accuracy until
love intrpdes and the society crook
find his path Of crime becomes q
road of mystery.
Among the all-star cast are Ed,
mund Lowe, VIOLA Vale, Edward
Connolly, William J. Irving. Glars
Lee and Walter Hargrave. The
scenario was adapted by Mare
Robbins and Lois Zellner. John p
Ince was director and George K
HOLSTER cameraman. The specia
art interiors were by Earl F. Olim

Good TIME CLUB
LOSES CONTESTS
To HIGH SCHOOL,

The high school first team won
by the close score of 21 to II over
the Good Timers last night at the
Y. M. C. A., the latter team secur-
ing a lead in the first half but fail
game. The \contest between the
two second teams was won by the
high school, 2S-4, many of the
Good Time men failing to appear
for the game.
Most of the scoring was done for
the high school by Salazar at for
ward while Farrell played a con-
sisent game at back guard. The
team failed to cover their men in
the first half and the Good Timers
secured a lead of 1910. In the
second period, however, the de-
fense was better and the game was
anybody's until the last few min
utes of play when the students Sc
cured two field goals. Myers played
a star game at center for
the Good Timers and Ricketts, at
forward did most of the scoring for
that team.
The line-ups for the first teams
were: High school-SalaZar and
Venable, forwards; Wilson, center;
Farrell and N. Glassman, guards;
Marion and Wilkerson, subs. Good
Timers-Ricketts and H. Severns,
forwards; Myer, center; Ireland
and F. Severns, guards.
Both boys and girls teams of
the high school will meet the two
Belen high school teams for
game at the armory next Friday
evening. Coach Addison Moore
declared last night that he had
better, material for fast basketball
teams this year than in the past
several seasons, but the response
of the public has meant a loss on
every game played to the present
time. The attendance at the game
with Belen will determine whether
other speedy teams are to be
brought here from over the state
for future contests.

to meet the wishes of President

of the executive mansion coming in
for first attention.
The work of restoring the court,
which has been in more or less
disuse for some time past, has been
started. Senator Harding being a
golf fan also is devoted to tennis.
The court became famous in
President Roosevelts administra-

C0NGREGATIONALISTS
5 GIVE CANTATA AT THE
1 PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The Christmas cantata, "Imman-
lnel," by Geibel, rendered by the
choir of the Congregational church
on Sunday afternoon, was an an
especially fine piece of work and
has won expressions of praise on all
sides. Owing to the church fire.
the hospitality of the Presbyterians
was accepted and the cantata was
given in that church. Mrs. Law
renee Lackey showed herself a di-
rector Of real ability, and the re-
eponse she elicted from her we'll
balanced choruses was creditable
alike to them and to her; while
Miss Allene BiXler, at the organ,
was certainly at her best, playing
with an expression that brought
out the singular beauty of the work.
One of the most effective parts was
the chorus of women, 20 Holy One
Anointed," with solo work by Mrs.
Landers. The solo work was all
especially good-by Mrs. Lackey, in
20 Prophet Voices" by Mr.. Gould,
mo Moving STAR" by Mr.. Collis-
ter, in "A Monarch of the Orient
and by Miss Lembke, in 80 Hedrk-
en- To Thine Handmaid;' while the
duet, "When He Shall Come" by
Mrs Sutton and Mr.. Barker, was
very pleasingly rendered. Mention
should be made also of the duet
and quartet, "Erring Sheep Who
Long Have Wandered" by Mrs.
Landers, Mrs. Ellis, Mr.. Landers
and Mr.. Snyder.
The following constituted the
choir: Sopranos-Mrs. f. S. Ian
ders, Mrs. VIM. Pomerenk, Lorene
Eeverns, Agnes Sutherland, Elsie
Sutherland, Eloise Cheney; altos
Mrs. r. w. Ellis, Mrs. c. G. Sutton,

Landers. HI. V. Barker, f. f. Ma
louf; basses--J. II. Collister, r. w.
Ellis, HI. Griffith, II. l.. Snyder.
Many have expressed a desire
that the cantata be repeated at the
church when it is re-opened after
the repairs following the fire.

JUAREZ SALOONS
ARE CLOSED BY
MAYOR s ORDER
Lid Is CIamped on Without
Any Explanation Being
GivenN Length of the Dry
Spell Is Unknown
tBy The Associated Press,

Ell Paso, Texas, Jan. 1.-Sa-
looms and gambling houses in
Juarez, Mexico, opposite here,
were closed today, and many
thirsty Americans bent upon cele-
brating New Years in ways for
bidden by the Volstead act, were
disappointed.
The closing order was issued by
Mayor Francisco ID. Gonzalez, who
assumed office today. The mayor
gave no reasons for the order or
statement as to how long the
drouth may be expected to con-
tinue.
An order issued yesterday by
the state authorities closed gam
bling houses which have been in
operation since December l. The
anti-gambling order, it was ex-
planned, was issued at the request
of President Obregon.
The number of Americans cross
ing the Rio Grande today was less
than usual, as the Mexican off,
cials declined to honor the one
day and ten-day border permits
issued by the United States immi-
grafton officials. This action, 1t
was said, was due to the refusal
of American officials to accept one
and ten day permits from Mexi-
cans desiring to visit FL Paso.
American short time border per-
mits issued without cost, have
been in use here for more than O
year. They are used exclusively
by visitors, border residents being
required to obtain permanent per-
mits on which the Mexican au-
thorities charge a $40 wise fee. A
few days ago the immigration au-
thorities in Juarez commenced is
suing short time permits, and
when the American officers re-
fused to honor them, closed the
international bridges to Americans
holding similar cards. Protests by
Juarez business men caused the
cancellation of the order after 1t
had been in effect one day. 1t
was put in effect today without
notice or explanation.

k. c. LECTURER
To SPEAK HERE
ON BOLSHE v|SM

Albuquerque Is to be included in
the reconstruction program of the
knights of Columbus for the per-
petuation of American institutions
and Christian civilization, it was
announced last night by the local
council, and on January 8, at 8 p.
m., David Goldstein, secretary of
the Boston School of Political
Economy, will speak at the high
school auditorium on the subject
of "Bolshevism; What 1t Is: The
Remedy For It."
The lecture is free for the pub
lie. Seats have been reserved for
world war veterans, who are at
present taking decidedly keen in
terest in the worlds greatest prob
lem. The lecture of Mr.. Goldstein
will be of interest to them.
Mr.. Goldstein is an expert onsoci-
oiogical problems. His latest book
"Rolshevism: Its Cure" issued in
collaboration with Mrs. Martha
Moore Avery, is considered mas
terpiece,' it's powerful arguments
are concisely written, and inter-
estingly put to curb the spread of
socialism throughout the country.
In appreciation of his Chautau-
qua work it was said that "Mr.
Goldstein is an interesting speaker,
gifted with keen, penetrating in
tellect, a marvellous flow of Ian
guage, and a trenchant, almost
cold -blooded, way of driving fact
after fact right home to his hear
ers. He does not mince words, and
every sentence he utters is given in
a way that almost forces assent"
The lecture in the high school
is to be conducted
upon the forum plan. The address
will be followed by a quizzing
period, during which the speaker
will reply to questions, verbal or
written, from anyone in the audi
ence, on any nhaSe of his subject

deposit of $50 to "keep away

The money came with answers

Then along came the agents of
the postoffice department and
spoiled the plan. Hubert Settles
and his wife are under arrest and
postoffice inspectors say they have
scores of letters from girls ambi-
tious.
