 Zandra is again touring the United States after a year spent in Europe and Asia, during which time many interesting experi ments were performed and adapt. ed by Zandra for presentation in this country.
 An interesting angle of Zandra' s trip through foreign lands, was 9 visit made to the land of his na tivity-Upper Burma, India. Here it was, as a child, that he re ceived his first insight into the mysteries and practices of the Hindu sages and philosophers.
 This is the original and only Murdock who has just returned from India where he was warmly welcomed by his mahauma mas ters who affectionately titled him Zandra, the Hindoo interpretation meaning The Man Who Sees Be. yond."

Attractions At Theatres
HARRY CAREY AT
 PALACE TONIGHT

Harry Carey, coming to the Palace Theatre tonight in "The Prairie Pirate" has one of the best roles that Hunt Stromberg has ever assigned him. From a peaceful young rancher he is transformed overnight into the mysterious, terrifying scourge of the iborder seeking and searching for the murderer of his sister. As "The Yellow Seal" he becomes a romantic figure, intent on finding the guilty man, taking up the task that the law had failed to ac- complish. His life takes a diff ferent turn when he meets Teresa .Este|ban, daughter of the owner of the biggest rancho of the coun- try, played by Trilby Clark The task of saving her and her father from the very man who killed his sister makes a thrilling and vivid story, fascinating and interest holding to the very finish.
 Spanish and Mexican fiestas add still more color and life to the picture, the scenes of which are said to be the most pictur- esque ever photographed for a western picture.
 Stromberg has assembled a great cast to support Carey the star. Miss Clark is the leading lady. Robert Edeson of the Cecil B. DeMille stock company, plays the part of Don Esteban, master of the Rancho. Lloyd Whitlock plays the part of the, owner of the gambling hall. Fred Kohler, who will be remembered for his work in "The Iron Horse" DOT trays the bandit, and Jean Dumas, formerly an Edison and Triangle star, returns to pictures in "The Prairie Pirate" in the part of the sister.

MAIN EvENTERS
 OPEN TRAINING
Butler and Collier Begin Training for Legion
 Smoker Here

Soldier Butler a-.i Joe Collier went into active training yester- day for their bout to be held here July 3 under the auspices of the local American Legion post. But Ter is going to sea for . few days on small gas boat he nses. believing a few days of life on the briny deep, even though he never gets past the eapes. will be the thing needed to fit him for a seize in training camp.
 Collier is doing light roadwork and some sparring. He is being prepared for the match by Jack Shearer, one of the wisest heads locally in that business.
 There are some local fans who were pulling for a match between the ex-soldier and Sinclair Brown, over whom Butler was yesterday mistakenly credited with vic tory. The records show the two fought draw here several years ago. This is the only time the two men have met.
 Brown is nearer Buffers weight than is Collier. He is probably stronger than the latter, is young CT and equally as aggressive. But he felt that he would not have time to get into condition for a match on the Fourth largely by reason of an injury to an ankle which he received in a baseball game last week. It was severe wrench and might have hand:- capped him in any early bout. IL is more than likely that he will be matched for a Labor Day bout with the winner of the Butler Collier go.
 The Legion matchmakers are uncoyering some new talent for their coming card. One man, 2 Filipino welterweight, is said to be a right smart scrapper lie tried out last night before some of the Legion committeeman an i made an excellent showing. He was put on in a main event in Seattle a short time ago and was given draw with a topnotcher there. Fight critics praised his boxing and speed. No opponent has been selected for him yet.

At Capetown

CAPETOWN, South Africa, June
1. - Government police yesterday
charged a procession of several hun
bred Negro workers carrying banners
which called to the South African
Negroes to end their slavery. Many
were seriously injured. Two arrests
were made after the charge.
The police raid followed the pro-
cession of members of the indie
pendent Negro Workers Union which
was parading thru Capetown preceded
by their organization band. Many of
the demonstrators carried flags and
placards with such inscriptions as

Along the line of march many
South African nationals booed and at
tempted to interfere with the march
ing Negro workers. A number of
stones and other missiles were flung,

beating them with their clubs. The

Crush Workers

BUENOS AYRES, June 1. - Four
hundred workers and persons sus-
pected of anti-fascist sympathies have
been arrested in the reign of terror
which the officials are loosing upon the
Argentine workers, using as a pre-
text the bombing of the Italian con-
sulate recently. Many of those ar
rested had to be released shortly af-
forwards owing to the inability of the
authorities to find evidence against
them and to the growing tide of feel
ing against the wholesale persecu-
ton.
Such an action as reading an anti
fascist paper has been made the
grounds for arrest. Pablo Nessi, a
worker, one of the governments vic
tins, was jailed, charged Of being
caught with an anti-fascist paper on

few remaining leaders of the New

in all seriousness altho to even casual
observers, such statement must APP

In Philadelphia on May Day, two
demonstrations of workers were held.
One was under the auspices of the

located hall. Speakers were sent
down from New York to address the
meeting or May Day demonstration. !"
And how many workers showed up
after being given free tickets, coaxed
and bamboozled? Exactly $50, one
tenth of the capacity of the audi
torium. Such is the significance of
the Socialist" party and its organ,
the New Leader, in Philadelphia, as
well as thruout the country.
Now as to the insignificance of the
progress of the Communists. On the
same day, May 1, in the same city,
Philadelphia, a Communist demon
stration was held. Only one hall was
available, and that one not conven

700. No tickets were issued free. This
hall was packed to the doors ans
many workers had to be turned away
for lack of space.

ARREST WORKERS
in BEL GRADE; 81
STUDENTS HURT
Demand Resignation of
Ministers

VIENNA, June 1. - Thirty-two
students have been wounded, and
forty-three workers who came to the
aid of the students imprisoned in
fighting which took place between the
authorities and the demonstrators
against the signing of the Nittuno
treaty, according to reports from Bel
grade. Some of the wounded are in
a critical condition. Nine members Of
the gendarmerie were also injured.
The order to fire at the first sign
of new outbreaks was issued by Min
lister of Interior Korosec to all police
and troops yesterday. The govern
ment is alarmed by the proportions
which the disturbances against the
signing Of the hated treaty have as
sumed and fears that the discomfort
of the workers and peasants may
cause a general outbreak against the
state. Preparations for street fight
ing are being rushed.
Belgrade looks like besieged city
with the sidewalks torn up and the
streets DISTRACTED with debris after
the bloody fight between the students
and police. The battle lasted from
eight o'clock in the evening until day
light.
Wild scenes took place also in the
skupchina, or national assembly fol-
lowing the reading of writ issued by
the minister of defense, General Had
zitt. Shouts of "Down with the blood
stained governmental murderers,"
were heard from all parts of the
chamber. The shouts of "Down with
the murderers," and the banging of
desks lasted for more than an hour.
Following the demand of the Peas
ant bloc for the resignation of the
ministry, the session was adjourned.
