GAY THOUSANDS
TURNED BACK AT
THEATER DOORS
Many Parties Find
Police Guarding
Payhouses.

Several thousand light-hearted
theatergoers journeyed downtown
last night only to find the playhouses
and hlue-coated guardians of the law
stationed outside.
Scores of gay theater parties drove
up to the New National and Polls
theaters in limousines. Still ignorant
of the fact that an hour before these
theaters had been closed by order of
the Commissioners, they entered the
lobbies. chatting and laughing in
eager anticipation of a pleasant even
ing.
Inside the doors their hopes were
shattered as attendants informed
them that there could be no perform
ances under the Commissioners or
ders, and in many instances money
was refunded to the ticket holders.
Both of these legitimate houses
were presenting drawing card at
fractions last week, and the usual
large Saturday night crowds were on
hand.

OIL FIELD NEWS
OHIO-HANNON HAS
Is TO Is BARREL
FLOW, HEAVY OIL
Product Is Different From Any
Other in Field; Gas at
Able Well.

Friday passed in the Kelvin Sunburst
field without developments outstanding
il nature at any of the wells which are
nearing or have reached the sands, &C.
cording TO information obtained from
men in the field. The Ohio-Hannon,
reported Thursday night to have come
in with an initial production of from
- to 80 barrels, Friday was estab-
lished as a producer of between Is and
p barrels. The oil is a heavy, black
product. different from any other in
the field.
Measurement of the Sinden well
showed the gas flow to be approx
mately 100000 cubic feet, approx
mately one-third as large as the first
estimate. The owners are continuing
drilling with a view to completing the
test of the location.
Have Gas at 1900 Feet
The California-Able, in $685., en-
countered a heavy gas flow at 1,25O
feet. it was stated. The drill is in the
sand. with no oil s%howings. The Swayse
has stopped drilling to run down some
pipe and the delay will extend through
a day or two. Carvings occurred to an
extent that maze underredrlDg neceS-
sary and the pipe will be lowered to
the bottom of the hole before drilling
is resumed. The Suhr is also having
trouble with cavings and was Friday
lowering casing. The California-Mor-
rison, in 1882 W, buried its tools
beneath a cave-in and had some trouble
getting squared away to where fishing
could be done. The crew was busy
with that work Friday.
OIL at Top of Sand
The Three-in-One has a mice show
ing" of oil at the top of the sand, but
drilling is still suspended because of
the non-arrival of drill cutters shipped
from Fort Worth, Texas. The Troy
Sweetgrass also has a good showing
and is still drilling in the Devonian.
This well is using Il diamond drill.
The Davey well, it was said, is pro-
ducing at the rate of 90 oarrels in
nine hours. The California-Able in
section 26. has measured its gas flow
and the production is thus fixed at
100000 feet a day.

REDS GRIP NORWAY
IN POLITICAL COUP;
OVERTHROW PLANNED
Fusion of Radicals and Com
munists Threatens
Conservatives.

Christiania. - Correspondence OF
The Associated Press.)-The King OF
Norway as chief executive, the cabinet,
and the radical party of Premier
Blehr are all closely allied politically
with and supported by the communist
party. a group generally credited with
taking orders from the Third lnterna-
tionai at Moscow. The Russion organi-
zation is pledged to obtaining the die
tatorship of the proletariat by revolu-
ton against existing forms of govern
ment.
It is doubtful if the communists are
supporting the cabinet for nothing.
They are believed to have made their
terms, and as a result certain elements
here expect to see further legislation
along communistic lines. Already Nor
way has adopted a commercial treaty
with the Russian bolsheviki and grant
ed them diplomatic rights. The bolshe-
Wiki have established headquarters in
Cbristiania and the Red flag flies from
the top of their building.
The government is taking An active
part in various trades and industries
which formerly were privately owned,

The tendency is to "socialise' every
thing. The burden Of taxation is be-
looming heavier and heavier. and the end
is not vet. The latest laws tax in
come and deposits of foreigners in Nor
way. and Norwegians living abroad, to
the extent of Is per cent. A foreigner
with investment in a Norwegian In
dustry will receive only rs per cent of
profits due him. The government takes
the rest. As a result it is expected
that foreign capital will withdraw from
Norway.
The communist party-it was until
recently known as the socialist party
is said to have accepted Bolshevik doc
trines. and is believed in certain quar-
tiers to be working for the overthrow
of the present government OF Norway
and the establishment of a dictatorship
on the Russian model. Its leaders
have constant and close relations with
Moscow.
The communists last fall secured 80
seats in the storthing. or national par
lament. The storthing has 100 MEM
bers, and no party has control. The
strongest faction. the conservatives.
have 63 seats and the radical party of
Premier Blehr. 81 seats. Next come
the communists.
The recent efforts to secure ma
tional prohibition in Norway aroused
opposition in Spain and Portugal, pro-
ducers of wine. who in retaliation re-
fused to buy Norwegian fish. This
partly ruined one Of the principal in
dustries in Norway, and resulted in
financial stringency, with consequent
unrest.
The radical and conservative parties
proposed a combination but split on
this question Of national prohibition.
Seeking another combination, the radi
Gals came together with the commun-
lists and the latter agreed to forego
their opposition to a proposed measure
Of compulsory arbitration in labor dis
putes. Through their leader in the
storthing. o. Scheflo. they announced
they would vote for the arbitration
proposal, a principal issue on the radi-
cal program. Premier Blehr accepted
the aid of the communists and this bill
has been passed.
The original opposition of the COM
munists TO the arbitration measure was
based in the belief that enactment
would shift power from the labor or

This is a story of q man who is
alleged to have kidnapped his W wife,
then kept her of her own free will.
Mrs. Claire Jaffr and Lilly Stearns,
her IL year cd sister. daughters of
Mrs. Lillian Stearns, 514 Third venue
north, were walking in Gibson park
early Fyiday evening. They had gone
to the park to listen to a band concert.
While they were walking along a
path an inclosed automobile drew up
and the girls were called to the road
by Tom Jaffr, Mrs. Claire Jaffr's hus-
band. according to the story told by
Lilly to her mother. There were three
men in the car. she said. They grabbed
Claire and forced her into the car.
When Lilly tried to interfere II of the
men struck her in the face and knocked
her down, then jumped in the automo-
bile and drove away.
There were many people a short dis
lance away, but the little girl hurried
through the crowd, shielding her
bruised face with her handkerchief.
She burst out crying when she reached
the front door of her home, saying:

Mrs. Stearns Immediately went TO
the central police station and notified
Captain Fred Locker. She accom-
panied the police of Jaffr's home at 800

greeted with abuse by her son-in-
law. she said, and no word of greeting
from her daughter. except a negative
shake of the head when she asked
C'aire if she didn't want to come home
with her.
When it developed that no action
could be taken Mrs. Stearns left the
place and announced that she was
through trying to protect her daugh-
ter" and that she intended to leave
Great Falls Immediately.
A divorce action was instituted by
Mrs. .Jaffr several weeks ago follow
ing an alteration between Mrs.
Stearns and her son-in-law in which a
bread knife is alleged to have figured
