AT THE LYRIC

Only one act for the first half or the week at the Lyric fell short or the generally accepted standard or vaudeville as presented by that pop ular theatre.
 "In The Dark" with Lester Calvin and Charles OConnor opens the bill. Their act is fully up to the landard of thousands of others of its variety. Both participants are very pod com edians but their dancing Is better
 Marie Sabbott and George Brooks s label their offering "A Terpsichorean Co cktail--With a Dash of Mirth. ' Lester, a sandy -haired little blonde, almost spells the act with her over insistence of babyishness. The two present an entertaining sketch pre- senting some good dancing and clever wit.
 Joe Laurie, Jr., rivaled the best of his kind ever shown at the Lyric Joe has one continuous flow of wit and humor. He bases his entire line on family history, and his chatter, besides being almost all new, is wholesome. It is occasionally re- freshing to run across comedian or his type.
 Living On Air" fell somewhat short of the balance of the bill.

CLAIMS COAL FIRM
 CUT OFF WATER OF STRIKING MINERS
Head Of Company Says Springs Were Oiled To
 Prevent Malaria
WASHINGTON BUREAU !
 THE AGT-HERALD WaShinpfnn. ID. C. May 2S

That gunmen in the service of the Rcden Coal company put oil in the only spring at Marvel available for use of striking miners, was a charge brought today in writing by J. R. kennamer, president of District No. 20, United Mine Workers of America, before the United States coal com mission.
 The commission, according to one of it's members, is astounded at the bitterness with which union miners, on the one hand, proceed against op orators who employ non-union labor, and operators, on the other hand, proceed against union miners. This member declares the situation de- plorable, and one which can never be composed, he fears, through compro- mise.
 Daily the miners write letters of sensational character regarding the alleged cruelty of operators, and op- orators, in their turn, hold union miners responsible for public suffer- ing incident to strikes, and many tn- dividual acts ct destruction of prop erty and life. In brief filed by attorneys of the National Coal Op- orators association, an attempt is made to prove that miners were gull ty of murder during the Herrlnt III, riots, during which many non-union miners were killed.
 kennamer's Charges.
 The Kennamer attack against the Roden company is the first presented to the commission reflecting the condition said to exist in the Bir- mingham district. In part, kenna- mers statement follows:
 During a strike of miners at Mar vel Ala, the company issued eVic- ton notices. and while the miners were still occupying the houses men employed by the Roden Coal com pany as deputy sheriffs, or gunmen, put oil in all of the springs where the miners had to get their drinking water for themselves and families.
 They placed guards at these springs to see that the oil was not skinned off of the water and to see that no miner or his family got any water. The miners were forced to carry their water for drinking in some instances a mile and quarter
 There was main, or line of pipe. laid from the pump, some dis tance away from the camp, running through the main section o1 the camp to the water tank and thence to the boilers. The water tank was placed on a high hill and water mains were laid from this to various sections of the camp, furnishing water for household purposes, wash ing, etc., but was 100 warm to pe pleasant to drink. All of this serV- ice was cut off by the company.

 Carbide In Hole.
 However, one of these pipes sprang leak and during the time the pump was running to fill the tank the miners would place vessels to catch this waste water Buckets and tubs were used to catch the water and these vessels were turned over and the miners families would be driven away from this leak by Geputy sheriffs, or gunmen, em- ployed by the company.

 The picture is one of the best which has been presented at this theatre for some time.

There are five stars presented in the leading roles, and during the course of the plot there are numerous oth- CTS who slip in during the filming. There are many scenes Whlch are spectacular, and, best of all. there are two photographs taken. showing how the actors and actresses work during the filming of the big pro duction.

Berlin, November 22.-In the course
of a vigorous defense of his admin
istration before the Reichstag today,
Chancellor Stresemann welcomed
the renewed American interest in
the reparation problem and said he
hoped an international conference
would be convoked. -.
He denied the reports published
in the German press that the gov
eminent had been officially ap-
preached by American f1nanciers,
and added that he had not been in

tional financial action. D..
The address, which occupied two
hours, dealt at length with both the
foreign and International situations,
and was wholly In the nature Of a
vindication Of the chancellor's poll

deputy Remmele, who was barred
from the situation in Consequence Of
his obstructive tactics yesterday.

Bleed To Death over Rhine.
The Reichstag, however, must not
be led away by the idea that con-
cessions to France would do much
to help Germany. The Reich was
in too weak a condition to force
counter concessions from France. :
Germany will bleed to death over
the Rhine and Ruhr if the wound is
forcibly kept open by France" he
said. "The declaration by France
that our help to the hungry Germans
in the Ruhr constitutes continuance
of passive resistance is untrue; 1t is
shameful" ~,
II Germany permitted France to
take coal, not for reparations but
for other purposes. then Germany
would be acknowledging the justice
OF the Ruhr occupation. Germany
had not one creditor, but the whole
entente. 1t was not right therefore
that only one should pocket the
money.
AS Germany's Internal condition,
1t could only be improved by intro
ducing longer working days. =,
Chancellor Stresemann concluded
by saying the present. crisis was
more a parliamentary than a cabi-
net one. He said he had asked
President Ebert to take energetic
measures IL they were called form.
According to the dispatch, the
speech made splendid impression
and the chancellor undoubtedly
strengthened his position. The com
munist deputies unsuccesfully triea
