~ «a Goat Without Noras," the
tenth episode of Yite^ph's roman
serial by Louis Joseph Vance, entit
led "The {secret Kingdom," is shown
at the Arcade Theatre tonight- This
episode tells how the treacherous oc
toroon, jealous of Julia, betrays
Phillip's party into the hands of *
powerful Negro Voodoo priestess.
The priestess, who is very avaricious
meets Ramon searching for Julia,
sud for a large sum delivers Princess
Julia into his hands. Ramon and his
party, with their royal prisoner,
start off .through the swamp.
Meanwhile Phillip and Juan dis
cover Julia's absence, effect their
escape and set out in pursuit. The
Voodoo priestess calls a meeting of
the Voodoo worshippers, and sends
for the sacrificial goat to be offered
to Voodoo. In front of the altar, the
worshippers work themselves into a
religious frenzy with their weird
howling, chanting and dancing.'
Ramon and his party have lost
their way—and are without food.
Meeting the negro courtier bearing
the goat to the sacrifice, they offer
to buy it; when he refuses, they-slay
frf m , kill the goat, and eat it. The
superstitious Cuban guide, fearing
vengeance ef Voodoo, steals Ra
mon's rifle, which is provided with a
Maxim silencer, and escapes.
Philip and Juan capture the guide
and te** the rifle from him. Ra
mon's party, meanwhile, has been
captured by the howling, frenzied
Voodoo worshippers, enraged at the
slaughter of the goat, and the pries
tese decides that a human sacrifice
must be made. She pifcpares to sac
rifice Princess Julia on the Voodoo
«Har.
How Phillip and Juan save the hap
Jess Julia from death, even as the
huge knife of the priestess is about
to sever her throat, and how the
"silent death" which the rifle deals
swiftly right and left terrorizes and
uts the other woshippers, works up
a thrilling climax—and the white
escape through the maze of
the dark and dangerous swamps.

Construction Eqmyment
For Union Bridge
Shipyard Mow Here
Several cars loaded with the equip
ment which will be used by the Un
ion Bridge and Construction Com
pany in their shipbuilding work here
are now on the S. P. Tracks here.
The spurs being built from the S. P.
onto the shipyard will be completed
in a few days and the machinery and
material will then be unloaded upon
the site. Ties are being laid on the
spur tracks and it is believed that the
rails will be in place by Monday and
at that time the equipment will be
placed in permanent position in the
shipyard.
.» The shipbuilding equipment in
cluded several great traveling^ der
ricks and many other .massive pieces
of machinery which 'will be needed in
handling the 300 ton ships tP.. be
built here. Ways will be built -te-*e
commodate six of these mammoth
hulls. Shipbuilding experts have sta
ted that a wooden ship is. ; heayjçr
than aiteelhull'-shipami, this be
ing trne, the Morgan City , shipyard
can easily change from 1 wooden to
steel shipbuilding. This change is
undoubtedly contemplated m the
plans of the company but the first
nulls to be built will be wooden.
Work on the yard will be pushe^ rap
idly as soon as the constriction
equipment- is placed* ' upon the
ground.
EVANGELINE FRIDAY
A married man wins th? love of a
•Ousting girl. H 19 wife dis covers.him.*
fie marries the girl, then blames her
itor the disaster" in his life. She
quits/him and faces poverty. Kindly
persons obtain employment for her
as a trained nurse.
In that work she nurses a young
American millionaire back to health.
She loves him; he loves her. They
are married. Sre tells him nothing
of her past. Years go by, and a tiny
soul stands waiting at the threshold
of their home.
The wife is wrapped up in that
child. She dreams of it, plans for it
—and then comes to her the thought
that her own silence means she is de
ceiving her husband, and that the
waiting soul may suffer by it. SJhe
decides to tell him all. She does so.
And she learns that her husband is
the type of man she had not sus
pected. It is a remarkable play which
shows that truth always triumphs,

CONSTRUCTION MA
FOR PROSPECTIVE
Cuba's prosperity has resulted in
extensive plans for new sugar mills,
new railways, and many other phases
of engineering activity, all of which
will mean new orders for American
construction material and machinery
according to an official survey of the
situation recently completed by
Special Agent W. W. Ewing, of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department of Commer
ce.
A number of new sugar mills are
projected for this season, and rail
way construction and extension is
being planned on a considerable
scale. The heavy traffic movement of
both sugar and general merchandise
will make necessary a great develop
ment of the wharf facilities, and the
greater warehouse space and other
port improvements is apparent.
Modern hotel buildings are already
being planned and sites acquired in
order to meet the demand of the
tourist traffic. Many other indica
tions of engineering activity are to
be seen in all parte of the island.
The United States is in the best po
sition to supply the materials needed
for all such improvements.
Mr. Ewing's report is entitled
"Market Materials and Machinery in
Cuba," Special Agents Series No.
139. It deals with present ' building
activities and with the demand for
general construction materials, floor
ing materials, roofing materials,
materials for interior finish,
and construction machinery and
tools. There is also a chapter on
commercial practices and require
ments and several pages of statisti
cal tables. Although the booklet con
tains 62 pages, copies may be ob
tained at the nominal price of 10
cents from any district or coopera
tive offices of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce or from the
Superintendent of Documents, Wash
ingfon, D. C.
