PHILADELPHIA TURNS
OUT SATURDAY FOR THE
BEAUTY AND BOLSHEVIK"

The new Russian film, "The.
Beauty and the Bolshevlk," which
has created such furore in Moscow
and New York City, is coming to
Philadelphia at LULU TEMPLE,
Broad and Spring Streets, this Sat
urday, Oct. 4, beginning at $50 p.
M, and continuing until 1900 p. m.
This story is based on the events
In Soviet Russia toward the end of
the civil war. A Red Army Brigade
settles down after four years of
fighting, in little viIlage-there it
became the center of the village
life. 1t brings joy to the poor and
rouses the resentment Of the rich
landowners. The Red Army sol
dlers are sequestered in the homes
Of the villagers. Kumbrig Ivanor,
the Red Army commander finds
himself housed in the home Of
a rich priest, kulak. There is "a
young daughter-the Beauty. -.
As Inevitably happens they find
much in common and are seen maxi
ing love together. She wants a high
church ceremony with full ritual.
He has thrown off the superstitions
Of the past and insists on civil
marriage. The eventual outcome Of
this story must be seen to be fully
appreciated. 1t is replete with ac-
ton, humor, with the intimate
touches Of their daily life. The peo-
pie Of Philadelphia are very fortu-
nate to see the first story Of Russia
after the revolution.
Tickets are already on sale at
521 York Avenue. Admission is SO

the auspices Of the Committee for
international Workers Aid.

GREAT CRIME WAVE
SWEEPS so. CAROLINA;
MUCH POLITICAL UNREST
By JACK METTE.

especial TO he Daily Workerl
CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. e.
Suth Carolina is being run over
with crime wave that grows larger
as the year nears it's end. Already
noted for it's killings and general
lawlessness the state is expected to
reach the highest peak in years for
killings. Some Of the most brutal
crimes in the history Of the United
States have taken place in the Pal
metto state within the last year.
Crime continues but the gov
ernor spends his time in praying
for the welfare of the people.
There is no action by the author-
ties. The states police force is the
gang Of strlke-breaking boys who
comprise the National Guard.
The majority of all crimes COM
mltted within the state are by boys
or young men Of the cotton mills
who have never had the chance Of
an education and have been forced
to work in the cotton mills from
the time they were@a able to work.
The governor, Thomas G. Mcleod,
is the one that made South Caro-
lima theiIaughng stock Of the world
when he set aside a day for the
people to pray for the extermna-
ton Of the boI-weaveI.
Some of the people Of the state
are doing their best to improve the
conditions that now exist. The po-
IiticaI unrest can be noted by the
failure of Senator Dial, child labor
advocate, for reelection.

With the selection of a jury

Major Alexander P. Cronkhite
at Camp Lewis, October rs,
1918, was expected to raise the
question of jurisdiction today in
district Judge Edward (. Cush-
mans court where Pothier is
on trial for his life.
If defense attorneys are sue
cessful in their contention that
Major Cronkhite died on state

Pierce County officials once before
have refused to file a charge against
Pothier and should Judge Cushman re-
mand the case it is thot probable
that the charge may be dropped. Dis
trict attorney Thomas P. Revelle,
however, contends that since the army
was using the ground at the time, it
was therefore under federal jurisdic-
ton, tho the formal transfer from tie
state to the federal government was
not recorded until a year later.

Harvey and Chardon vowed to
be revenged at the first opportune
moment. 1t came, when a com
pany of Piegans, who had nothing
to do with the killing of the negro,
arrived at the fort bringing with
them their seasons accumulation of
furs to trade. The fort gate was
opened, and three chiefs were per-
mitted to enter. Harvey then told
the other Indians to come to the
gate in order to enter when it was
opened. Obediently, they massed
themselves there, and when the
crowd had reached the desired
size, Harvey discharged a cannon
in their midst, killing thirty of
them, and wounding others.
Three men had been detailed to
kill the chiefs who we're inside of
the fort, but the latter, hearing the
canon, and the cries of their peo-
pie, lost no time in surrounding
the stockade and escaped.
With no thought for anything
but self-preservation, the Indians
fled, leaving behind them most of
their horses, and the furs, they had
labored for several months to Sc
cure, as rich loot for the white
men. Following this unWarranted
attack upon the Indians, they
traded less and less at Fort Nc
Kenzie, until they ceased coming
there almost altogether, and the
two arch criminals, Harvey and
deserted the post for
the new one built at the mouth of
he Judith river-Fort F. A. c.

Ison neared the Judith river, Har-
vey fastened to meet him. 1t was
then that Harvey narrowly escap-
ed being murdered by two men
with whom he had feud of long
standing. On his boarding the
boat, they attacked him with hatch
cts, and wounded but did not kill
him.
The American Fur company dis
charged Harvey from its employ,
and sent Chardon to a post down
the river This was necessary as
a preliminary step to making
peace with the Blackfeet.
Continuing his journey up the
river, Major Culbertson reached
the point where he had determined
to build a post. This location was
about five miles below Pabol's is
land, named for a Mexican herder,
who was killed there by Black
foot, and above the later Fort Ben
ton. 1t was necessary to work
with the utmost secrecy and speed
in the construction of the fort, in
order to have it in condition for
defense, before the Indians should
learn what was going on.
It was built of logs, the stockadeI
enclosing one hundred and fifty
square feet of ground. Thre were
two bastions each of two stories in
height, the upper story extending
beyond the lower one, and, as US
ual, these bastions were placed at
opposite angles. It had garri-
son of seventy men, and was nam
ed for Captain Lewis, of the Lewis
and Clark expedition.
Shortly after its completion, it
was discovered by a Blackfoot,
who carried the news to his tribe.
Culbertson being now ready, ask
ed the Indians to confer with him,
and about fifty came. Culbert-
son told them the company wished
them to know that its chief was
angry with the employees who were
for the massacre at Fort
Mckenzie; that he had discharged
them, and sent him-Major Gull
bertson- again to make peace with
them.
The Blackfeet accepted in all
good faith this explanation, says
Lieutenant Bradley in his journal.

The lure was too magnetic, and Charles Cameron, Mrs. Cameron, and that wonderful son have returned to- Anchorage, where, as Charlie says, they will stay from now on. Anchorage welcomes the Camerons, all three of them. At that it is hard not to quote with other millions that i've told you so."
 MT. Cameron conducted the famous Cameron Cafe in Anchorage for a number of years, to the delight of his many patrons. Seizing business op- portunity in Seward, the family nov ed to the neighboring town, where they were equally successful.
 About two years ago the Camerons decided that it was California for them and moved to San Francisco, where he was engaged in business, for a short time only, as the call of the northland was too strong, and here they are in Anchorage.
 MT. and Mrs. Cameron will engage in business here. Yesterday they sign ed long term lease on the old Royal Cafe, which in the future will be known as "Cameron's Cafe." To in sure success Charlie himself will have charge ow the kitchen and to doubly insure success, Mrs. Cameron will pre- side over the dining room. Young Chas himself will be an additional drawing card to the culinary attainments of his father and the ability of his courteous mother.
 Workmen and artisans today are making extensive alterations in the kitchen, the place in general is under going a thorough overhauling.

OMAHA, May 8-An old trunk con- taining bag of gold and map of an Arizona gold mine with $5,000,000 in gold already mined and buried in the tunnel, which had been kicked around from pillar to post for nearly twenty years, is believed to have been located in Omaha.
 The map has disappeared according to the story told in court petition filed by Frank Kelly, bricklayer, living in this city.
 The gold is being held at the Am erican Smelling & Refining Company plant in Omaha, where it was taken to be assayed.
 The bag of gold figured in the news papers a couple of months ago when Frank Brubacher of Omaha brought suit to compel the Smelling company to return the gold to him but the $5,- 100000 gold treasure and the lost map are entirely new details.
 Was Unclaimed Freight
 Brubacher bought the "old junk" at sale of unclaimed railroad freight. It had been on hand so long the rail- road was unable to trace it's origin. In the trunk was bag of mud and a lot of old papers.
 The papers were thrown away. The mud was taken to the shelter on the chance that it might be some sort of mineral. It proved to be gold and to be worth $1,850.
 The shelter refused to return the gold to Burbaker on the ground that the real owner might again claim the payment. Brubaker filed suit to gain possession of the gold and the case is now pending.
 Now Frank Kelly has appeared as an intervenor in the case and says the trunk may be the one for which his wife has been searching for nearly twenty years. She don't care so much for the bag of gold, but she wants the lost map to the mine where the gold came from.
 Story of Buried Gold
 Kelly's petition tells strange story of buried gold, lost map and dead prospector Part of it at least has been verified.
 Kelly's wife was formerly Mrs. De Estine Shepherd, of Quincy, III. She ran boarding house in Quincy for a number of years.
 In November, 1905, De Estine Shep- ard came to her house, i'll, to room. He had money, gold. He said he was a miner and that he had been searching for his brother of whom he had lost the point of death. After the phy- sicians had given him up, he told the trace. Shepard got worse and was on landlady about his mine in Arizona and gave her a rough sketch of it's loca- tion. He also told her that in trunk in boarding house kept by Mrs. AL nina Hicks n Tuscon, Arzona, was a bag of gold quart whisky bottle full of gold, a detail map of the location of the mine and some papers.
