* Vaudeville Entertainment
If the Bison City Four, at the Or
pheum theatre this week, are just back
from the war, the various members of
the quartet do not show it. They have
no sears, no bandages and tell no thrill
ing experiences ot (lodging shells and
fleeing airships. They did not even lose
a bit of scenery nor any of the by
play that has teatured their act here
tofore. The Bison City Four can be
funny enough without any change, but
what's the use of having a war experi
ence if you don't make something out
of it when you get back to the Bhores
of Uncle Samf
Frederick V. Bowers and company,
which includes a pretty woman, sev
eral dancers and a bulldog, occupy the
headline position on the bill. Bowers,
who is composer of popular airs, sings
them very well; introducing in his act
just enough dancing to make it well
balanced. His act starts on a steam
ship pier. This suggests a return from
the vfar zone, but it is just a setting for
a now song a/bout, the United States
songs being best. Bowers always en
tertains.
Trained flees have been outdone by
the trained canary in the Orpheum this
week. The unusual thing of a canary
singing to the accompaniment of a vio
lin and imitating other singing birds
lis presented. Pauli and Boyne, a man
and girl team, are exceptionally clever.
A domestic comedy skit, "Hiring a
Maid," by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cap
pelen, presents some amusing situa
tions.
The opening and closing acts are
above the ordinary. As a jumper, Clin
ton, who opens the bill, has few supe
riors and the novelty hoop-rolling act
of the Nelson and Whalen troupe at the
close of the show is above the average.

Judge S. J. M. 'MeCarrell has decided
jto give candidates who recently filed

Judge MeCarrell said that "Non-Par

the candidates for the Supreme and the

Found in Archives of
Belgian Staff at Ber
lin, Says the German
Ambassador
A CONSPIRACY
WITH THE ALLIES
•
Says German Contention Is Proved
That Allies Did Not Intend to Re
spect Belgian Neutrality and That
Latter Did Not Exist
Washington, Oct. 13.—Count Von
Bernstorff, German Ambassador here,
to-day issued a statement in connection
with a telegram from Berlin, announc
ing the finding in the archives of the
Belgian general staff at Brussels by
the German military authorities of doc
uments which, it was claimed bv Ber
lin, showed details of the plan for
landing an expeditioner Knglish force.
The statement follows:
"The German Ambassador drew
special attention to-dav to the telegram
which came from German headquar
ters. This telegram proves the German
contention that the allies did not in
tend to respect Belgian neutrality. It
even proves more, namely, that Belgian
neutrality practically did not exist and
that the Belgian government was con
spiring with the allies against Germany.
Notwithstanding the 'denials coming
from French sources it is a fact that
French prisoners were taken at Liege
and at Namur who acknowledged that
they bad been in those fortresses be
fore the German troops entered Bel
gium.
"On the French side it has been
asserted that the German chancellor in
proclamation had acknowledged that
Germany was doing wrong in violating
Belgian neutrality. It must, however,
not be overlooked that the chancellor
further said, 'we know that the allies
do not intend to respect Belgian neu
trality and Germany in the position she
is in, attacked from three sides, can
not wait vvhiln the allies can wait.' At
that time'the Belgian archives were
not at the disposal of the German
government.
' If the chancellor had known at the
time he made his speech that Belgium
was not neutral he would certainly
have spoken of the alleged Belgian neu
trality in a different way.
Germany has violated the frontiers
of no really neutral country whilst the
nllies are on record for disregarding all
obligations towards China."

BY GERMAN SUBMARINE;
573 PERISHJN BISASTER
Petrograd, Oct. 14.—An official bul

"On October 10. German submarines
I were sighted in the Baltic Sea. The
| same day, early in the morning, the

"A submarine of the enemy launch
ed several torpedoes, which, luckilv,
missed the mark and caused no damage
• whatsoever to the cruisor.
"On October 11, at 2 o'clock in the
I afternoon, the submarines of the en
; einy again attacked our cruisers Bavan
and Pallada, which were patrollinn the
: Baltic.
"Although the cruisers opened a
i very strong fire, one of the submarines
; succeeded in launching torpedoes
j against the Pallada, whereupon an ex
! plosion resulted and the cruiser sank
j with all her crew."
The complement of the Pallada was
573 officers and men, and if all were
j killed, as indicated in the preceding
; dispatch, the loss to the Russian navy
■ is severe.

I sister ship to the Bavan. The pallada
i carried two 8-inch guns, 8 6-inch guns,

ARCHDUKE'S SLAYER AND
21 ACCOMPLICES INDICTED
ON HIGH TREASON CHARGE
i
London, Oct. 13, 12.10 P. M.—Reu
! ters Telegram Company has received
i via Amsterdam a dispatch from Sara
jevo, Bosnia, saying that the indictment
1 against Gaviro Prinzip, the afsassin of
: Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his
! consort, together with 21 of his ac
; complices, has been read in Sarajevo.
The men are charged with high trea
' son in connection with the assassina
tion of the Archduke. Three other per
sons have been charged with being
cognizent of the plot and of having
concealed weapons with which the out
rage was perpetrated. The indictment
' deals at length with the Servian so
j ciety called Narodna, which organized
! the conspiracy, with methods by which
] bombs and weapons were smuggled into
. Bosnia and relates how the conspirators
; at Sarajevo recruited their accomplices,
distributed their weapons and took their
places in the street to await the com

CfIPITOL
TO AVOID CONGESTION
AOTO OWNERS GET BUSY
Should Send In Their Applications for
1915 Licenses at Once, Is the Re
quest of the State Highway De
partment
Automobile owners and drivers and
motorcyclists are urged to send in their
applications for licenses for 1915 at an
early date,, according to a statement
issued by the &tate Highway Depart
ment to-day.
Applications will be received by the
Automobile Division from this time for
ward and beginning December 1 li
cense plates for 1915 will be Bhipped
out to applicants. These licenses will
not be valid until January 1, 1915. It
is hoped that by urging applicants to
send in their requests early the conges
tion which has occurred in previous
years will be avoided.
Since there can be no possible ex
cuse for failure to apply for new li
cense plates it is expected, in view of
this notice, that the leniency shown
last year to those who were tardy in
applying for licenses will be withheld
next year.
