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. On that day -the Brandeis
