BERNHARDT IN MOTION PICT
URES. Much has been heard of the mov
ing picture machine as the ignoble
but dangerous rival of legitimate
urumu, crowaing toe piayers on wo
boards and debasing the public taste
with its crude and tawdry substitute
for dramatic art. Its success in
bringing to stay-at-home people
startling Intimate glimpses of animal
life in the jungle as well as the au
thentic pageantry of durbars and
coronations has served to remind us,
it Is true, that the motion-picture can
assert its dominance in certain fields
and yet give the artistic no cause
to grieve. But to many It will
doubtless be a surprise to learn that
no less an artist than Sarah Bern
hardt has entrusted her art to the
films, and that she will be seen this
season in the United States in a his
torical photo-play. Its twenty-one
scenes are adopted from Amiel Mor-
eau's "Queen Elizabeth," a new
drama In which the actress made her
first appearance and scored a fresh
triumph only last (April. At the

ONLY WOMAN SENATOR IN
UNITED STATES COMING HERE.
Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, of the
Colorado Senate, to Talk in
Honesdale, Juno SI.
Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, of Col
orado, known as the only woman
Senator In the United States, Is
scheduled to speak in Honesdale on
Tuesday evening, June 24. Col
lier's Weekly of June 7, contained
the following concerning Senator
Robinson:
To study what she calls "state
house-keoplng" and incidentally to
make a few speeches In the interests
of woman suffrage, Mrs. Helen Ring
Robinson, member of the Colorado
Senate, is touring the East. The
Eastern press critics are enthusias
tic over the vigor and breezlness of
her talks, and the editors "back
home" proudly characterize her In
somo such vein as this, from a pa
per in Denver:
"Our own and only woman Sena
tor and, by tho way, one of the best
that over happened down the pike
of State politics, man or woman."
In tho session just closed (her
first) , Mrs. Robinson gave her closest
attention to the enactment of laws
for the improvement of conditions
among women and children. Colo
rado's recently enacted minimum
wage law for working women was In
troduced by the woman Senator and
guided by her over a more or less
rocky path. An Eastern interviewer
asked the Senator if it were true
that Colorado is about to take the
suffrage away from women voters.
She laughed and answered: "All I
can say is that if it ever were at
tempted Denver would make little
old London look like Sleepy Hollow."

CHICKEN THIEVES TELL
DIFFERENT STORY
JUDGE SEARLE HEARS BOYS'
STORIES AND WILL TAKE THE
MATTER UNDER ADVISEMENT.
Willis Dillmuth and Fred Sherwood,
21 nnd 17 Years Old, Respective
ly, Toll Altogether Different Stor
les of Their Deprldntlons.
Willis Dllmuth, aged 21 years, and
Fred Sherwood, aged 16, were
brought before Judge Searle on Mon
day afternoon for a preliminary hear
ing. The stories told by the two boys
vary on several Important points.
Sherwood, who pled guilty to
taking chickens, made out a state
ment in the presence of District At
torney Simons, N. B. Spencer and
Sheriff Kimble. Ho told practically
the same story as he did in the
statement. Dilmuth, however, de
nied some of the allegations. Sher
wood told a straight-forward story
when arraigned before Judge Searle.
'Dillmuth, who also pled guilty to
taking chickens on several occasions
said that ho had been out with Sher
wood present two times and that
Clarence and Harry Hall had been
along once when Sherwood was
present. He said that twice they
had sold chickens to Hawker &
Bartholemus, but that they were sure
the men did not know they were
stolen. They also sold 19 to Dein,
who had been In Dyberry. Sher
wood asked him if he wanted any
chickens and Mr. Deln had said that
he did. We received 14 cents per
pound for them. Tho places they
had been for chickens as told by
Sherwood was as follows: Jack Ar
thur and Cottles one night; Owen
Fox and John Smith one night, and
Chas. Webb's one other night. He
also said that the Hall boys were not
with them.
Sherwood made a good impression
on the Court. He said that he had
quit school and had been working
for the Honesdale Water Company
steadily. He said he had offered to
pay Webb for the chickens but that
he had refused to accept a settle
ment. Young Sherwood made sev
eral allegations all of which were
emphatically denied by Dilmuth and
his mother who was present at the
hearing.
The father of Fred Sherwood told
tho Court that his boy had been a
good boy at home and always took
his money home. "They got to
going to the shows in Honesdale and
Into the saloons. They had to have
money and took to taking chickens
to get It. I think the picture shows
are indirectly responsible for lead
ing the boys away, but I don't think
they would do It again." Tho Court
seemed to think so too.

here, will warmly welcome Mr. Eddy

STOUQERT TELLS JUDGE
HE'S READY TO GO BACK.
Indicted on Three Counts; Pleaded
Guilty to AH Court Asks What
Ho Has Done During Eleven
Years Since First Offense.
August Stoquert, alias "Frenchy,"
entered a plea of "Guilty" before
Judge Searle Monday afternoon. He
was not sentenced but will remain
in the county jail until after the
June term of court when sentence
will bo pronounced. Stoquert pled
guilty to three counts: Breaking and
entering and taking eggs from E. E.
Kinsman; breaking jail twice and
breaking and entering the Pennsyl
vania Coal company's office at Haw
ley. Frenchy has quite a record and
tho whole history was brought out
or as much as is possible bpfore
Judge Searle Monday afternoon.
He was first convicted In Wayne
county eleven years ago of breaking
Into Bigert's store. He served four
years in tho Eastern Penitentiary.
He was out 19 months when the
next time he was convicted of tak
ing brass from tkeiErle and got two
years for that. Frenchy's first fall
was when he broke into the express
office at White Mills. He got three
months in the county jail. He went
West after he got out of the pen the
second time and said he had worked
on the B. & O. as breakman on a
switch engine in the yards at Lans
ford, Pa. He said he had worked
there until he came back here this
last time. Ho came by way of Cherry
Ridge and Palmyra and walked. He
was arrested in Hawley in January
for some trouble and escaped jail.
He started for the west again and
got as far as Buffalo, looking for
work, and then came back to Wayne
county where ho was caught after a
chase near Hoadleys by Sheriff Kim
ble and County Detective Spencer.
His next trip to Philadelphia will
probably be more extended. When
asked by the judge if he would like
to remain here for a while, Frenchy
said: "The quicker I go the better,
as long as I have to go." He is for
ty years of age.
SHANNON SETTLES
SUIT FOR $300.
The suit of John W. Shannon
against the Frederick A. Havens Co.
and John C. Emgamble, a partner in
the firm, for the recovery of $10,000
damages, will not be tried at the
June term of court. The reason for
this is, that the case has been set
tled out of court.
That a satisfactory settlement of
the difficulties had been reached, was
announced recently by tho attorneys
for tho plaintiff, who accepted $300
and payment of tho costs which
amounted to about $8.35, making a
total of $308.35. Tho plaintiff ask
ed for $10,000.
Shannon had been employed by
the Havens comnany as a brick lay
er In the construction of the Gurney
Electrical Elevator plant on lower
Main street. A brick thrown from
the top of the wall by a fellow work
man injured Shannon when It struck
him on the head. The Injury prov
ed to be permanent and he Is yet un
able to do any work. Searle & Sal
mon, of Honesdale, handled the case
for the plaintiff and E. R. Stocker,
of Scranton, represented the com'
pany.
