BASEMENT " 3 "PHOTO PlAV. OFFERINGS FOR TODAY VIOLENCE MARKS III n&SHitf fiimland WINNIPEG STRIKE FOR FIRST TIME Police Called Into Action to Quell Sympathizers, Who Endeavor to Enter Building. Winnipeg, June 2. Violence by strike sympathizers in a parade of 2,000 men today marked the eigh teenth day of the general strike here. For the first time since the strike began, Winnipeg policemen were called into action and demon strants who attempted to force their way into the Board of Trade building were checked by police men, detectives and volunteers. The paraders first marched to the provincial parliament building, for the third time since Friday, and demanded the resignation of Pre mier T. C. Norris and his cabinet on the grounds of "incompetency." Premier Norris announced he had not receded from his previous stand, that he would do nothing re garding provincial legislation which the union men are demanding until the sympathetic strike is called off. Howard Lloyd, a business man, who stood on the curb wearing a Canadian flag on his coat, refused to remove the flag and several of the marchers attacked him. He proudly displayed the emblem still on his torn coat after the melee. Important Developments. The most important strike devel opment today from a conciliation standpoint was an announcement by the railroad brotherhood executives. attempting to mediate the contro-1 versy, that they had transmitted to the executives of the. Winnipeg Metal Trades council an offer of settlement which had been received from the heads of Winnipeg's three leading iron works. Premier Norris and his cabinet were requested to resign by speak ers of the delegation of returned soldiers, strikers and strike sym pathizers, who took possession of the provincial legislative chamber for the third time today. Premier Norris told the crowd that he would riot give up his office, but that he would use every effprt to obtain legislation which might tend to im prove industrial conditions in Mani toba. A few of the commercial tele graphers who have been on strike returned today, it was announced at one of the offices. John Barrett Kills Self, Thinking He Was n f t. tf l to e Lett Homeless John Barrett, an umbrella mender, 50 years old, shot and killed himself at 8:45 last night when his niece. Mrs. F. O. Fleu, Seventy-fourth and Main streets, Benson, told him that she and her family were to move today, and leave him, as he thought, without a home. Barrett locked himself in a room of his niece's home, shot twice into the floor and then sent a bullet through his brain. Police believe that he discharged the two bullets into the floor to see what effect it would have on his relatives and as they, thinking he was pretending, failed to go to his side, he killed himself. A doctor was sent from Central station when the shooting was re ported. Barrett was dead when the doctor arrived. The doctor said Barrett's wound was instantly fatal. At midnight, police had been un able to locate any of the county at torneys and the body still lay in a pool of blood on the floor where it had fallen.

COURT UPHOLDS INCREASES MADE IN RAIL RATES Advance in Telegraph and Telephone Charges Made by Burleson Are Also Sustained. Washington, June 2. Railroad freight and passenger rate increases made by the railroad administration last June were today upheld by the supreme court. North Dakota supreme court de crees enjoining the Northern Pa cific railroad and Director General Hines from enforcing an order of the railroad administration increas ing rates in that state were reversed. The court also set aside lower court decrees which hold that under sec tion IS of the railroad control act, re existing intrastate rates remained in effect as lawful police regulations. Increased telephone and telegraph rates put injo effect under an order of Postmaster General Burleson, were upheld today by the supreme court. The court held that under the joint resolution by which the wire systems were taken over by the government there was authority for interfering with intrastate rates.

PHONE TYLER 345. - AT THE THEATERS OMAHA extended a cordial greeting to Henry Miller, Ruth Chatterton and their select com pany of associates at the Brandeis theater last night when "A Marriage of Convenience" was offered in all of its picturesque costumes and its bright and epigrammatic lines. This four-act comedy by Alex ander Dumas, and adapted by Syd ney Grundy, has a charm which takes firm hold of the auditor and carries him on from scene to scene with its scintillating dialogue. The humor is as delicate as the costumes which Miss Chatterton wears of the period of 1750. The story does not tax the mental processes, and yet there is enough of a plot to hold the interest until the end, when the Comtesse De Candale discovers that she loves her husband, the comte. Mr. Miller, as the Comte De Can dale, offers an artistic interpretation of the male sartorial refinements of will go a long ways for a friend, but who meets an impasse when he en counters ridicule even from a friend. In brocades and silks and the rest o fthe male sartorial refinements of the days of Louis XV, this eminent actor is himself a picture. Miss Chatterton is the real comtesse of the young woman's day dreams. She is dainty and pretty and is the ad mired of all who have the privilege of seeing her in this series of cos tumes which she wears. The use of one scene for the four acts of the play sustains Mr. Mil ler's contention that scenery does not make the play. The subtle humor of this comedy is enough to justify itself to the discriminating attendant. The story reveals to people of this day and age that hu man nature was not much different in the year 1750 A. D., and that when Louis XV was holding down the throne there were eternal trian gles and quadrangles, and a woman even then was not mistress of her own heart. There is no attempt at any time in this delightful comedy to force the action for mere dramat ic effect. Lucile Watson won deserved ap probation for her clever acting in the role of Marton who is counselor and maid to the comte. More versed in the ways of the world and of the ways of men, she teacheslhe comte a few lessons in the art of flirting. She tells her mistress that "flirting is the art of making a man love you and then of getting rid of him when you are tired of him." Charles Trowbridge, as Chevalier De Valclos has a nice conception of the temperament of a man who loves a young woman who has married for convenience as in the case of the comtesse. The chevalier maintains a proprietary interest in the com tesse and when the right time ar rives he gracefully retires from the scene. The comte, a man who has had an affair with a marquisette, four times married and once a wid ow, comes to the realization that he loves his wife who tried the never-failing ruse of jealousy. David Glassford made an excellent general. The play may be accepted as an artistic triumph and it was so received by a crowded house last night. Matinee and evening per formances today will close the pres. ent engagement. The Florida Four, colored quartet appearing at the Empress theater, are creating a veritable riot with their harmony singing and comedy. The oriental dancing number by Emma Francis and her Arabs fur nishes exceptional entertainment. Masters-Elect of Masonic Lodges Given Degrees One hundred and fifty masters elect of various Masonic lodges throughout Nebraska were given past masters' degrees last nght at a banquet in the Masonic temple, as a preliminary to the opening of the Sixty-second annual communica tion of the Grand lodge, A.

F. Goodrich Rubber Company herewith declares a more mileage adjustment on Goodrich Tires 6,000 miles for SAFETY TREADS, and 8,000 miles for SILVERTOWN CORDS. Fix these new Goodrich Adjustment figures firmly in your mind 6,000 miles for SAFETY TREADS 8,000 miles for SILVERTO WNS instead of the 3,500 and 5,000 miles respectively heretofore in force. This new adjustment stands back of all Goodrich Tires, including tires already purchased in the hands of user or dealer. Goodrich Tires in actual usage on road and pavement are today unfolding such matchless mileage, regularly in excess of adjustment basis, that Goodrich knows it has the strongest;' most durable tires the rubber indus try has produced The Goodrich adjustment mileage is increased because Goodrich knows, the mileage in its tires, and it wants to give every motorist a share in their economy, and all-around benefits. Go to a Goodrich Dealer, and buy a Goodrich Tire or buy four Goodrich Tires sure that with fair and square usage a Safety Tread will render you at least 6,000 miles; and a Silvertown Cord at least 8,000.
