their high reputation for scholarly
stage craft in providing a back

play is built. There are eight dif

Bert and Alt. .throughout the play
a dozen catchy musical numbers are
evenly distributed; these together
witti an ensemble of pretty Kirls.

formance, lhe .light effects pro

master hand. In fact, it is said that
nothing has been left undone by'the

STORY OF CHAOS
III RUSSIA TOLD
BY EYEWITNESS
Senate Committee Informed
"Aim of B6lsheviki Is .
Overthrow of Other -Governments.
-
Washington, Feb. 11. A story of
economic chaos, oppression and
tyranny in Russian underthe bol
shevik rule was unfolded today be
fore the senate judiciary ' subcom
mittee at the beginning of its in
quiry into bolsheviki, I. W. W. and
other propaganda i the United
States. The witness was Dr. .Wil
liam C- Huntington, former com
mercial attache of the American em
bassy in PefVograd, who related in
detail his experience before being
compelletL-by intolerable conditions
to leave Russia last fall.
Dr. Huntington said the bolshevik
leaders constantly endeavored to
spread their doctrine through other
countries and that he had seen a
few evidences of. these offorts in
the United States.
He mentioned an. article by Prem
ier, Lenine of the bolshevik govern
ment recently published in "The
Liberator," and American magazine,
and said he had seen several articles
in the New York Times written
by Arthur R. Ransom, an English
writer whom he described as an in
ternationalist and a sympathizer with
the bolshevik regime.
Dr. Huntington said he had, at
tended the recent meeting jn Wash
ington which prompted the senate
to order the present inquiry and de
clared that speakers who were ad
vertised to give thp "truth about
Russian," did not give the truth. He
added that he did not know whether
they were bolshevik propagandists.
. Dr. Huntington suggested that
persons advocating cultivation o re
lationship with the Russian bolshe
vik goverment should remember
they are dealing with a movement
working for the overthrow of exist
ing governments. He 'said he knew
that the bolshevik leaders had sent
quantities of money out of Russia
to finance the spread of propaganda
in other countries, but he could not
say that any of this had been used
in the United States. x '

Hurley Returns With .Worcn
That German Shipping Soon
Will Be Bringing 60,000 "
Men a Month.
New "fork, Feb. 11. The Ameri
can transport Leviathan, carrying
9,295 troops, passed the Ambrose
channel lightship this afternoon and
will arrive here late today. Among
the civilian passengers is Edward M.
Hurley, chairman of the United
States shipping board, who had been
abroad to confer with American and
allied officials on the food and ship
ping situations,
"From information at hand," Mr.
Hurley said, "it appears ..the total
available German pasenger tonnage
suitable for carying troops is over
6000()0 tons gross. This does not
include the Bismarck (50,000 tons
gross) not yet completed, nor the
Imperator, sister ship (of the Levia
than, which cannot be delivered for
several months, nor other large ves
sels such as the Tirpitz, Hindenburg
aid Columbus."
'The United States' share of this
tonnage should run approximately
to 300,000 gross tons of shipping
suitable for the repatriation of
American troops. This should give
the United States an additional
troop carrying capacity of over 60,
000 men per month."
The European relief" fleet of the
American merchant marine, Mr.
Hurley said, is the largest engaged
in any special service under the
merchant flag. The tonnage em
ployed aggregates approximately 8
per cent of ' the entire sea-going
American tonnage of 1,500,000 dead
weight tons and over. The February
program for food movement from
this country to Europe contem
plates a shipment of 300,000 tons.
This program is expected to in
crease from month to month.
a "Today," he said, "we have 2,072
sea-going vessels oi o,tu,oyo gross
tons under the American flag, as
against 1,329 vessels of 6,364,926
gross tons of foreign shipping trad
ing with the United States.

Trotter Released Wien
Friend Testifies 'for
Him Before Court
A. L. Trotter, charged with the
violation of the Harrilon drug act,
was dismissed from custody yes
terday on the strength of testi
mony offered by A. L. Petty of Chi
cago, at a hearing before United
States Commissioner Ncaly.
At a hearing last week Trotter,
suddenly accused the witness
against him, G. Delbridge, of the
same crime of which he himself was
accused.
Delbridge swore that Trotter had
sold morphine and cocaine to him
at his home.
Trotter, in turn with vehemence
so earnestly insisted that he could
prove the falsity of this statement
with witnesses, that the case was
postponed.
"I shall appear on Tuesday, with
my witness," he affirmed at the last
hearing and true to his word he ap
peared. The case came up and on the
strength of Mr. Petty's testimony,
Trotter was dismissed.
've been held for drinking liquor,
and having it in my possession, but
this is the' first time that I've been
accused of criminal acts.
"We all take morphine down there,
a shot now and then; Delbridge, too.
Why, for mouths I kept him while
he peddled vegetables, and.it was
because he said he' would pay me
some of the money that he owed
me, that I saw him take the mor
phine to sell."
Fined on Appeal Case
for Possession of Booze
An appealed liquor case from po
lice to district court resulted in
conviction of Peter Hcilltnan,
charged with unlawful possession.
He was sentenced to 60 cays in iail
in the police court case, but in the
higher court the penaltyvwas $100,
which he paid. This was Heillman's
second conviction on a Charge of
