THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1917. ACQUIT GERMER OF AMI-DRAFT CHARGE J.ury Decides Literature Circu lated by Socialists Was Not Intended to Obstruct En-. . listment. Grar.d Rapids, Mich., Oct. 19. AdVnh Ccrnicr of Chicago, executive secictsi;' cf the national socialist pari;-, and ten other persons were acquired by a jury in United States district court here this evening of vha:;c! cf corispiiacy Against the se Jectur draft. A'.l the defendants were tried to gether. Willi the exception of Ger tntr, all were residents of this city. Nine of them were members pi the socialist party. 'The cjiarge against themwas the preivin'Sion and circulation of litera ture Vl.ich the government held was iutor.dtd t" induce young men not to register.; The jury in its verdict de clared this was not the purpose of the literature and that there had been no cbnspiracy. , AT THE .THEATERS "The Flame" at the Boyd. Richard Watson Tully's, flame will not kindle as great a conflagration as it might liaye done a year ago, or may do a t'ev years hcrfce; at present the American people have more to think i about than the Mexican revolution and the outrages borne therein by Americans who were unfortunate enough to be caught between one or another of the marauding bands. As a protest against the supine policy then pursued by our gvernment it may have some merit; at present, it is cold ashes. It has no flame. That Mr. Tully has involved a sim ple little love story for , the very ob vious purpose of givjng background to his other argument, and has gone (in for a mixture of Maya sun wor ship and' Haitean voodooism, with some Cuban lances and African mu sic to afford atmosphere for his locale, doe's n-i stimulate interest to tflie point of enthusiasm. A rather strange contrast was pre sented on the sta,ge at the Boyd last night, when a former vice-president o,f the United States appealed to the patriotism of the audience,i urging that all subscribe for Liberty bonds, and one of the leading characters in the pjay washat of a smug politician, pretending to represent the United States as consul in an important Mex ican town and denying his citizenship that he might be protected under the British flag from a bandit's brutality. The incongruity of the situation must have been apparent to most who were there. The spectacular features of the play have been well worked up for their purpose. Weird music, grotesque dances in the deep shadows of the jungle, the rage of a tropical hurri cane, voodoo processions, and the subterranean temple of the Mayas, all hold interest for those who are in terested m the mechanics of the theater. t A company of capable actors gives careful attention to the enactment of the piece, but their best endeavors fail to cause "The Flame" to more than flicker. Bond Drive at the Brandeis. Next"Wednesday, October 24th, has been selected by President Wilson for public demonstrations in connection with the second issue of Liberty bonds.
