WILSON’S APPEAL QUICKLY REJECTED Washington, February 9 ( . —Reject, ing President Wilson’s advice, house democrats, in caucus tonight, went on record as opposed to universal milita ry training by a vote of 106 to 17. The president, in letters to democratic lead ers earlier in the day, asked that ac tion be withheld so the party’s stand might be left to its national conven tion. The rejection of the presidents ap peal was double in its scope, for, be fore declaring against military train ing, the causus rejected, 88 to 37, a proposal that all action on the ques tion be deferred “at this time.” This vote, cast on the motion of Represen tative Doremus, of Michigan, came af ter a three-hour discussion behind closed doors and immediately after ward on the straightout question uni versal training advocates dwindled to seventeen. Anti-Training Re,solution. “It is the sense of the caucus,” de clared the resolution adopted by the democrats, “that no measure should be passed by this congress providing for universal compulsory military service or training.” Though not. binding on the demo cratic membership of the house the caucus decision was interpreted by Rep resentative Caldwell, of New York, who led the fight against the caucus action, as precluding the possibilities of uni versal training being incorporated in the army reorganization bill that, will soon be brought before congress. In a formal statement after the confer ence he said: “Unless there is considerable change in sentiment on the democratic side of the house it is quite apparent there are not, enough republicans w T ho favor universal training to include it in the reorganization bill.” SHOT DAUGHTER THROUGH HEART WHILE SHE SLEPT New York, February 0. —Mrs. Em ily May Favre sat for two days be side the body of her 12-year-old daughter, Margaret, whom she shot through the heart Saturday morning as she lay asleep in her apartment in the Ashton hotel, she confessed to the police today after her arrest on a charge of homicide.

TUESDAY, Feb. 17.—Pearl White, in Black Secret. Sacred Strings Miss Tell WEDNESDAY', Feb. 18.—Dorlores Cas sinelli, In "The Virtuous Model.” EYES OF THE WORLD AT THEJTRAND “2316 Hours’ Leave” on Friday, 13. Harold Bell Wright’s Story on Monday, Feb. 16. Tomorrow—Friday—at The Strand will be shown one of the funniest anil most pleasing pictures ever made— that of Twenty-three and One-Half Hours Leave.” This is said to be a comedy-drama that will please more than any other. It is guaranteed to make you laugh and keep you laughing. Douglas Mac Lean and Doris May are featured, and with Doris May in a picture the public need not fear that any dummy or a double will be used to register the more diflicut feats.. Regular prices will be charged. On next Monday, February 16, ‘The Eyes of the World’ will be the feature at The Straud. It has been asserted that there is not a hackneyed character in “The Eyes of The World” and the story is both idylic and melodramatic, but its melodrama is of the finest type. Particularly in the drawing of Sybil the mountain girl; LeGrange, the novel ist Taine, the physical wreck of a mis spent life, and Henry Marsten, the convict, has the author shown his un usual powers of characterization. The burned-out roue, Taine, contrasts very strongly with the ingenious young ar tist, Aaron King, ambitious for fame, but who is on the point of debasing his talents for the easy way to success and becomes the shining mark for a design ing woman. Then there is Conrad LeGrange, the cynical story writer, who confesses that he “haunts the intellectual slaughter pens” for material for his “successful” stories, but in whose heart still burn many of the kindly sentiments of his earlier days. Again, there is James ltutlidge* the bull-necked art critic, "born, bred and reared in an atmos phere that docs not tolerate purity of thought,” who covets the sweet young girl of the mountains, whose character typifies their beauty, purity and their strength. Besides, there are John Willard, the convict, who plays an important part in the story, after his escape to the wandering life of the hills; Myra Wil lard, a pitable bit of flotsam on the sea of humanity, and Brian Oakley, the forest ranger, a hardy, rugged and fearless specimen of manhood. You are urged to attend the after noon show if possible. Night: First show begins at 6.45; second show begins at 8.45. 20 & 35c. SERIOUSLY HURT While unloading a truck last Sat urday Dr. W. L.
