52-YEAR ALICE FARWELL SEES ROMANCE END Brother Charged With Killing Man With Whom She Had Love Affair. MAiHBON, tVis., April 29.—Mips Alice Farwell, 52-year-old spinster, is the star witness in the xnnrder trial, now in progress, of her brother, Hartwell, who killed the man who brought the thrill of romance into her life for the first time. Miss Farwell’s lover was Phil Hosten, a farm hand. “Miss will take the stand," said Frank L. Gilbert, attorney for the defendant. Gilbert is a former attorney general of Wisconsin. The Farwells are well known in Dane County. For years Hartwell and Alice lived upon a farm in the town of Vienna, thirteen miles from Madison. They were lcoked up to as community leaders, Ilartw>ell was trustee of the Windsor Congregational Church. Unknown to her brother, Alice loved Phil Ilosten, a helper on the farm. Even after nartwell and Phil quarreled over the management of the farm, the mid-dle-aged couple continued their love affair, meeting clandestinely, it Is said, almost nightly in the orchard. The brother, according to the story Alice is expected to tell on the stand, ; was unaware of the love affairs. Rumors came to Hartwell, it was said, j that Phil intended to kill him. On the ! night of dan. 10, Phil came to see Alice. Hartwell, according to one version, view- , ing the crouching figure of Phil from a I window thought his sister’s eweethheart was coming to carry out his alleged ■ threats.

Henry Roussell, the eminent French producer and director, and Is based upon the traditions of a tribe with which he spent several weeks. It is, therefore, not a fanciful tale of desert sands, but a living document of life as it exists in Arabia and the great Sahara. It deals with the experiences of a romantic young English girl who falls in love with a sheik and marries him. They spend three very happy years together until the sheik s father and the elders of the tribe insist that the sheik establish a harem. The conflict between the Christian girl and the Moslem customs and traditions almost upsets the lives of this strangely mated pa’r, but after many complications the English girl triumphs, and she and her Arabian husband find happiness together. A news weekly and a comedy complete the program. _i_ _i_ ANOTHER FEATI RE RILE ANNOUNCED AT CIRCLE.

KEITH NEWS (Continued From Page Fight.)
tion ail over the country of the “Third of a Century Anniversary Week,” there Is a repository of good things which means as much to the satisfaction of Keith patrons as though it were a safety del osit vat It in which their good wills wer> locked up. It ia a magic box, more potent to work changes than even the chests used by Illusionists on Mr. Albee’s own circuit, for it contains matters of substance, not fancy. In appearance it suggests very exactly a telephone booth, the only distinguishing difference being that there is no patron inside swearing away his immortal soul for service. It is as high as a booth, and has a door and glass panes, which are shrouded In dalntly colored curtains, evidently so no one will be dazzled by too quick a sight of the glorlps within. When Mr. Aibee opens the door of this box, none of i’ondora’s troubles conies trooping out. Instead, there is what might no called a parade of the tricks of Mr. Albee’s trade. Very gorgeous tricks they are, for the precicas contends of the booth are marvelous tapestries used for decorating the Keith houses which almost make the box rival In value one of Captain Kidd’s treasure , coffers.
I: was at the suggestion of Mr. Aibee, President of the Keith Vaudeville Circuit that the members of the Vaudeville Managers Protective Association, Including executives of such high class organizations as the Orpheum Circuit, Loews, Pantnges, Sun, Poll’s, WUlmer A Vincent and others controlling over nearly a thousand theaters throughout the United States, agreed to give the proceeds of one matinee a year In each house to the N V. A. to Establish and replenish the insurance find. This matinee Is held ‘n the spring, on a day suggested by this committee. The acts on the bills are paid for their work as usual, but the manager gives the gross receipts to the fund. According t'> Mr. Aibee, “Thirty years ago we had Just as good artists as today. and Pin not saying that because giants are supposed to have lived only in the olden times. You have only to name over a few of the acts of that period to believe tills—unless you want to go back on some of the most noted names in the theater today. There were the Four Cohans, with George M. Cohan; Montgomery and Stone; Mclntyre sndi Heath ; Raymond Hitchcock, David Warfield, nnd hosts of others who are now given a place in every home. But the performers acted in beer gardens, up back-alleys and In shabby districts, so that the name of variety had acquired a taint, and no person of any standing would allow the tip of his nose to stray into such halls. That was the feastm why we adopted the French name of •‘Vaudeville.” to clear the air of that taint of variety."

RALSTON TELLS WOMEN OF HIS CLAIM TO WIN Cites Accomplishments of His State Administration.
The accomplishments of his administration of State affairs, while Governor, as promoting the interests of women, particularly, were emphasized by Samuel M. Ralston, candidate for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator, speaking before members of the Seventh District Women’s Club at the Indiana Democratic Club last night. # Conditions governing women in industry and also the bousing situation were Improved greatly by remedial legislation of the General Assembly in 1913 and 1915. Mr. Ralston said. “No man who has not tha Interests of women at heart is fit to become United States Senator,” Mr. Ralston said. “Training of tha citizenship of the future depends upon the women in the homes.” Beside the steps taken to aid women cited by Mr. Ralston, ho outlined the conditions of the State's financial affairs when he left office. The State was out of debt, he said, with a large surplus. Mr. Ralston's speech in part follows: “I championed, as your Governor, a law recognizing woman’s nature and regulating the places and hours of work for those who toil for a livelihood in workshop and factory. PROUD HE STOOD FOR PENSION LAW. “I shall always be proud of the fact that as Governor, I stood for a teacher's permanent pension fund.

And this Is why I have always stood In office and out of office for the teacher getting a living wage. “I cannot now discuss the virtues of the laws enacted under my administration, providing for playground for children ; for the protection anu support of children abandoned by brutish parents; for the belter protection of unfortunate girls, who are wards of the State and are in the State’s industrial schools: for the care and protection of those afflicted with the white plague; for sanitary school buildings, and for uniform textbooks at a fair price. Legislation and a man who does not stand for laws of the character to which I have called your attention, Is not fit to go to tho United States Senate. “But these are only a few of the reasons why the Democratic party should be restored to power In Indiana. CONDITION OF STATE FINANCES. “When the last Democratic administration went into power the finances of the State were in a deplorable condition, not due, however, to the Marshall administration, but to previous Republican administrations. “The State treasury was practically depleted. Every- Institution of the State was in a crippled financial condition, and the State was heavily In debt. My administration Immediately set about to right things. At first, of course, I had to borrow money. Loans had to be repeatedly negotiated on behalf of the State in suras of $200,000 and SIOO,OOO for short periods of time. Finally, as the result of economy in administration and a small Increase In the tax rate money began to come into the Stiiie treasury in sufficient sums to repay these temporary loans and ultimately wipe out the State debt—the first time this debt had been wholly discharged in eighty-two years ” LIFE FOR PRIMROSE.
