MARINES ARE SENT TO QUELL NEW CONFLICT Inhabitants and Soldiers at St. Marc Engaged in Battle Troops Attempt to Pillage the Town. WA5HINGT0X, Au?. 9. Lon Bobo. the Haitian rebel leader, has laid down his arms. A state department dispatch today reported Hobo's arrival at Port ! Au 1'rince aboard the American, collier Jason. Jjoho will be a candidate for president and will abide by the result of the election, he told Caperton. He has ordered all his generals to lay down their arms. Election of a new president of Haiti will not take place until the factional leaders have had opportunity to decide on a compromise candidate. Admiral Caperton has cabled Scc'y Lansing that there is a strong possibility that they can agree. Meanwhile he is administering Haitian affairs, while making it very plain to the people there that the United States is acting as "next friend" and has no program of territorial extension. Caperton is gathering up the leaders of tre various revolutionary bands, and placing them on American warships. What will be done with them has not yet been fully decided, but it is expected the local government, when formed, will be entrusted with their punishment. Only minor disturbances are now taking place and Caperton expresses the opinion in his dispatches that by far the, worst of the trouble is over. Paymaster Charles Morris of the cruiser Washington is administering the affairs of the customs house at Cape Haitien, but Admiral Caperton has not yet confirmed the press reports that he is also administering the Port Au Prince customs service.

The play, which has been much talked of all over the country because of tho startling innovations created, was declared by th committee to be without so much as a suggestion of anything indecent or immodest. On the other hand it was pronounced to be a sermon with a powerful punch behind it. As a result the f.lm was left unexpurgated. Many other prominent South Bend club women were present at the production. Of the 4h minsters invited to attend, only two were present. Mrs. F. L. Sims. Mrs. C. M.

The strange circumstance, involving treatment for an ailment described as "dread of mind," by the use of a secret remedy called "tissue cell food," and lifetime protection against the "fear of bodily harm," were made public here today by Dr. H. A. Meis.el, of this city, following the tiling of a suit for payment of, a note and interest amounting to $40000 against the estate of the late J. "W. - Fall is, of New Castle, Pa.

II. G. paulding, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, was also in attendance. Mrs. Haeske, prominent as a member of the board of trustees of the Federation for Social Service, in discussing the merits of the film taid that pictures such as these make a more .asting impression than a sermon. "It is a sermon in itself," she said. The photoplay is highly allegorical and symbolical of the evils of hypocrisy. It will be seen at the Lasalle for three days. The play presents "Naked Truth." a role interpreted by a nude woman. "Naked Truth." however, never comes into actual view, there being but a shndowy representation. "Naked Truth" holds v-y to the politician, the society wom.and tho church congregation, and those in the humbler strata the evils attendant upon -very hand. It is an expose powerful in its appeal and lasting in impression of he sinisterne.-s of a life which preaches one tr ing- and actually lics another. Instead of criticism being heaped upon the portrayal of "Naked Truth," the local committee commended the picture highly as has been done in other cities
