A Dance 'Missionary"; That's Profession of Ruth St. Denis

A dance missionary. The phrase has a peculiar and paradoxical ring. Yet it is particularly apt in describing tho work of Miss Iluth SL Denis, whose sensational ilindu and oriental dances were witnessed at the Oliver theater Thurs day night. "Yes, I am a dance missionary." she said to an interviewer. Miss- St. Denis Ls easy to interview; tuggest that she do the talking and she will wonderfully and with a graciousne.ss that sets one at ease at once. "I am the exponent of an art that is entirely original," she went on. "I, like other artists, paint pictures, but to paint them as 1 do to mo is the most wonderful art of all. Of course, like all other artists in a new field, I lind it difficult at times to impress my audience with the beautiful effects and legends that I aim to portray. I live those little legends I illustrate on the stag, while J am endeavoring to bring my audience to the hid den beauties, to enter the land of myth and mystery with me.'" "Do audiences in the smaller cities take you and your art seriously? Do en Aiti.iis doijjekeein. Charles Doeberlein, 1215 N.

they express appreciation in your efforts?" she was asked. "Oh, yes, indeed," she answered. "Audiences I hate that word of men and women who know little, perhaps nothing, of the dance, they are a delight. I feel that when I have affected that sort of audience, I am successful. But," she almost sighed, "the galleries are my worst enemies. A titter at the wrong moment from that source always Interrupts the trend of my thought, and without thinking, how can one express ideas by mere movement?" Misa St. Denis was very emphatic in her ideas concerning newspaper criticism. "I think that every newspaper in a city of any size should have upon its staff a man or a woman fitted to criticise the dance," she said. "We have our drama critics. They are essential, it is true. But is it not just as true that since my art is new and is to beconuas important a part of the stage as its other branches, it should receive its proper and merited criticism from th-? press?'

TRAWLER RESCUES 626 Heavy Sea Makes Work of Saving Oceanic Crew Dangerous Risk. ABERDEEN, Scotland. Sept. 11. The rescue of 626 officers and sailors from the Oceanic, former White Star linger, which was wrecked off the coast of Scotland, was affected through the daring work of Capt. Armour of the trawler, Glenogil. He told the following story today: "It was misting and very dark on Tuesday morning off the north coast of Scotland, when our attention was arrested, on our homeward way, by signals of distress in the direction n, tho coast. "It required skilful seamanship, which would have b' en impossible to a larger boat than ours, to bring the Glenogil near enough to discover the Oceanic upon the rocks. "Finally, after a long, hard tussle in a nasty sea. we brought ourselves alongside. Rope ladders were lowered tho side of the liner down which the crew scrambled and tumbled to the deck of our boat. "In a short time practically every available inch of our space was occupied by men from the big vessel. We got 4 00 of them and then steamed off. We could hold no more. After transferring the rescued seamen to a larger steamer which was standing by in the otfing, being unable to get any nearer the wrecked liner, we returned to the Oceanic. The sea was high and the rocky ledges of the coast made our trip slow and dangerous. Heavy Sea Adds Difficulty. "As quickly as could, we took off the remaining members ol the Oceanic's crew and transferred them to the larger ship. "The rescue work was attended with greater risk on account of the heavy sea, the darkness and tho dangerous rocks over which tho tide boomed like thunder. The captain, William Slater, commander of the Oceanic, was the last to leave his ship. He paid us a high compliment and thanked us warmly." Reports had been current that the Oceanic, which has recently been run over by the government and converted into a cruiser, was the victim of a lloating mine, but Capt. Armour denied this. There is a possible chance that the Oceanic might be saved. HOLDUP MEN GET MONEY AND JEWELRY FROM MAN Two KrlcaxM From Jail Thursday A iv Accused of Hold RoMicry Near Kaley Park.

A decrease in expenditures and a gain in revenues was noted in the report of tho city controller for the hrst eight months of 1914 compared with same period of last year. The controller's report was read at a meeting of the heads of the various departments of the city hall in Mayor Keller's otMce Thursday afternoon. The meeting was called by the mayor and four departments were represented. Each presented reports comparing their work with the work of the same departments last year. With the possible exception of the police department, every department showed a gain in its own particular branch of activity. The controller stated that miscellaneous to date for the year amounted to $54,176.21. Last year's figures were $41,686.71, making a gain of $12,489.50.

For the same period last ear tlie figures were $228,362.20, a" decrease of $17,886. SS. Police Department IfU'iort. In the police department there was no re:t difference either way for the two s. The salaries of the departiv for this year were larger than last, and there have been nearly 10 0 more arrests. Stoncyard senI tenees for the two years were the ! same. 26 in each.

The i sealer also reported that he had i caused five prosecutions for false weight in which the guilty parties wero convicted. Aihalt Cot Is Txw. Tlie average cost of new asphalt used for pavement in the city has been $1.52 a square yard. This rate, according to City Engineer Moore, is the cheapest gained by "tTito city in over 15 years. The low cost is attributed to the fact that the city is making a large portion of its asphalt for itself, and does not have to rely upon outi.ido sources for its snpply. The city engineer also reported that the street car companies, following suggestions by the two public boards, had begun repairs upon their lines. The city electrician reported that this year to date ho had made 1.632 inspections and had reported 3S condemnations, an average of nine per cent. Last year at this time, according to his report, the per centage of condemnations was only 2.4 per cent. In the month of August, 1913, there had been 230 inspections with four condemnations, and for August, 1914, there had been 24 2 inspections with 25 condemnations:. Mayor Keller announced that such comparisons would be made all through the present year.

GERMANS PRESS FORWARD IN EAST; RUSSIANS RETIRE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) part of the Austrian and German forces that invaded Russian-Poland had succeeded In making their escape. Charges of brutality are made against the Germans in a dispatch received from the correspondent of the Novoe Vemrya. He declares that the Germans attacked the Jews after they entered the town of Opoczno, in the province of Radom, and incited the inhabitants to massacre. In another village, says the correspondent, the Germans killed a Jewish woman 103 years old. Dispatches to the war office from the front do not conlirm in any way these charges. On the contrary, Russian wounded say that they were cared for by the Germans as far as it was possible for thcu to do so.

"The Germans have been lighting desperately to guard their line of communication which is in considerable danger from the aliles' left.

Sept. II. Although England is the hated foe of Germany, all the wounded German ) soldiers who are brought back from the theater of the eonMht pay the highest tribute to the courage and lighting qualities of the British. It is the British who have offered the ' greatest obstacle to the Gernuui army! on its march to Paris. Another batch j of officers and soldiers have arrived ; from the front. They came through j from Belgium by train and every man' Is anxious to get back on th- firing line. For the moment they are tlie , heroes of the city and tender hands j are caring for their wounds. The . wounded bring stories of the hardships of war, but chieily th.v talkabout Uk dog'-red courage of trie British. They hold the British s-d-dier up as a bulldog who blinds itself to danger when he oes into battle. Lieut. Frederick Yon Schiebimg. one of tlie officers brought to Berlin for treatment, told something a!"i,i the trip of th- German armv across Belgium.

They were so enormous in size that they rould be moved only! very slowly, and th'-n it was the poi- i icy of the general star! to keep them j behind the front, so we had into j a hostile army and had to fall back ' for strategic reasons, our hM iest ar- j tillerv would not have to left hind."
