Iowa City, Iowa, April 14. (Argus Special.) The Islanders trimmed the University of Iowa boys yesterday afternoon . to the tune of 11 to 7. Manager Cook used all the recruits who had not been previously given la chance to show what they could do and the result was nleasins to the boss. Detwiler was used at third and he showed up as a strong bidder for the position and will make his larger opponent hustle. Troslle was on the first bag again and did well. McKee started the game in the box for the Islanders and was so wild and erratic that he had to be relieved by Howard who put a damper on the aspirations of the students. ,eal ended un the game in the box.

Tin matinees Sundays and holidays. Plays Role of Young Widow. "Wild fire," the racing comedy in which Lil lian Russell will appear at the Burtis Davenport, Thursday,. April 16, was written by George Broadhuret .and leorge .V Hobart. The former wrote 'The Man of the Hour," "The Lady Tom Lane's," "The Wrong '-Mr. Wright," "Why Smith : Left Home jnd several other 'domestic comedies, Mr. Hobart is best known as the. aa .bor of the "Dinklespiel" and , the 'John Henry" sketches, several light iperas and sketches for the vaudeville ttge. In "Wildfire" Miss Russell ilays the role of a young widow, Mrs. Oarrington. ? She Is the owner of a acing stable, which she races with he help of her trainer, under the name )f John Duffy. Mrs. Harrington must keep the ownership of her stable iecret, aa her younger sister Is engag ed, to marry the son of a racetrack re- 'ormer, who would break up the match f she learned that Mrs." Harrington owned a stable. The widow wishes to ell her horses and retire, v She has staked everything on one race, "with "Wildfire" running. A crooked book maker by the name of John Duffy takes advantage of the similarity of names and the mystery which - sur rounds the ownership of the stable to order the iockey to throw the Tace unless he. sees the signal of a white handkerchief being waved from the window of . the - trainer's quarters. If he spies the handkerchief as he rides Into the stretch, he is to win. A sta ble boy tells the widow of the. plot. She fools Duffy by'Jetting him to make love to her as she gives the signal to win. Two men are in love with the widow. One Is a lover of horses and the. other' is an automobile enthusiast. Mrs. Barrlngtdn loves the horseman, but thinking he was in the scheme to throw the race she refuses to meet him. and accepts his rival. Before It is too late the trainer clears the at mosphere, and the curtain falls with the widow waiting for the man that she loves and still the' owner of "Wild fire. The members of Miss Russell's company are Herbert Corthell, Will Archie, Morgan Wallace, Gilbert Doug las, John D. O'Hara," Frank Andrews, Genevieve Cliff, Howard Gould, Annie Buckly, and Norman Thorp. -.. - "A Dog's Life." The only phase of life in Holland that seems inconsistent with .the character of Hollanders is their merciless treatment of dogs. As shown by Lyman II. Howe's moing pictures; to be seen at the Illinois Sat urday, April 18, matinee and night, the use to which they put their dogs amounts to positive abuse. - Not only are the dogs compelled to draw loads to market heavy enough for a small pony, but they are also required to pull their master home. Regardless of siez or breed they are often made to stagger under loads until they lie down from sheer exhaustion. Here man's most devoted friend and trusty companion is compelled to lead a worse existence than is generally un derstood by our expression, "A Dog's Life. The other characteristics of the Hollander's life as. shown In this series are aptly described as sedate and complacent, yet so quaint as to be almost,, antique. , Theirs is , a life of solidity, stolidity and simplicity. Of a more sensational nature are the pictures showing the dynamiting of a huge cliff in France; 150,(M0 tons of solid rock are shown being dislodged by 1,800 iounds of dynamite which was sealed up with five tons of ce nient. The family life of wild birds at home, hunting in the Arctic regions. life among savage Zulus, . racing 80 miles an hour in an automobile, dar ing horsemanship in France, "The An imal Kingdom," and numerous other leauires ot great vital interest com pose a program that is remarkable for Its variety and scope.

ONLY A FEW TRACES FOUND Yankton's Men- Believe Gaiapagos Castaway Perished Miserably on Indefatigable Island. . The United States gunboat Yankton, tender to the Atlantic battleship fleet, was Bent from Callao to the Galapagos Islands to search for a musing Amer ican sailor, one Fred Jeffs. The Infor mation furnished was of the most mea ger description, only that Jeffs was a member of the crew of the. Norwegian bark Alexandra, wrecked in the Gala pagos in May, 1907, that he separated from his companions on Indefatigable Island and that when they were res cued In October of the same year at a place called Puerto Aguado, given as In latitude 46 minutes south, longitude 00 degrees 20 minutes 30 seconds west. Jeffs was not with them. He had therefore been nearly a year on Inde fatigable Island If alive. The distance to the Galapagos was covered In four days, and Hood island, the most southern of the group, sight ed, at nooa on March 3, says a special correspondent of the New York Her ald on board the Yankton, writing from Acapulco, Mexico. Previous tol sighting land great quantities of sea life, for -which the vicinity of these islands Is noted, and numerous birds testified to its nearuess. In order If possible to gain Informa tion about the wreck. Chatham islaud. where there is a settlement, was first visited. Anchoring In Wreck bay, a messenger on horseback was found waiting -on" the beach with the eoiu p) intents of the local authority, the "ndmlnistrador," and a polite inquiry if any assistance could be furnished. The Inhabitants of this island num ber about 350, all dependents of a sin gle estate and mostly engaged In the cultivation of sugar, cotton and tobac co. The estate lies in the hills and valleys on the southern slope of the Island in the only place where water Is obtainable. Water is the need of all this group of Islands, and the lack of it Is the keynote of their barren wastes and cactus covered slopes. The shores of all consist of black volcanic rocks and cliffs, with here and there in a sheltered spot a sandy beach. The Islands, rising In most eases to 3,000 or 4,000 feet, have their slopes covered with a giant growth' of cactus min gling with a thorn.-"which made prog ress back from-the shore impossible witho.ut cutting a way,, t Two guides sent" by tne adminlstra- dor arrived on board the Yankton at daylight, and the course was shaped for Indefatigable island, thlrty-flve miles distant. The story of the wreck as told by the guides was Interesting. Their Information was from a part of the crew which had landed on Chat ham island and from the captain of the island schooner, who had heard the wrecked captain's story ot Guayaquil. The bark was becalmed near Albe marle island and swept by the strong current found In these islands ashore under a cliff, where she soon went to pieces. The crew escaped in two boats. one with ten men, the other with the captain and seven inert. "During the night the boats became separated, the boat with the ten men reaching Hood island, and then, seeing Chatham Island In the distance, they reached It, found It inhabited and told their story. The admlni'strador forwarded them by the j Island's schooner, to Guayaquil with a letter to.tbe consul. - : Stmanhed on a Reef. Tne captain's" boat, of which Jeffs was a member, reached uninhabited Indefatigable Island, . where it was smashed on a reef while making a landing. This second disaster securely locked, the party on Indefatigable is land, as there is no kind of wood to make a boat on the island. The party, finding only a few springs of brackish water, near the beach,, be gan a search for a better camping place and, abandoning their first camg. moved to the place called by the na tives Puerto Aguado, but not marked In any way on; the chart. It was. at tnis time that the separation rrom Jeffs, took place. . . - ... According to the message received from the consul at Guayaquil, the can tata of the wrecked bark said Jeffs preferred to loaf,' and, ' though they tried to persuade him to go with them. he refused, saying that the chances of rescue were as good one place, as an other and he was going to stay where he was. . Thfr story as heard from the guides was that hp was ill arid could not follow, and the others left him. The -"guides .themselves were, pic turesque characters, and .one especial ly deserves more than passing mention. Old and tall and gaunt, , with a strag gllng gray, beard and snappish 'eyes, he was a type not often seen. Unable to read or write, he showed great Intel ligence and caught the meaning of the Ideas expressed before half the' words- were spoken. He cheerfully acknowl edged that bis acquaintance, with Inde fatigable Island was due to a murder committed at some previous time, for which the admlnlstrador. who appears to be an absolute-' monarch, bad ma rooned him on Indefatigable island for three years, during which time he had lived there alone- " . . The Yankton approached the land on the eastern side and dropped a whale boat, i which conveyed ashore Chief Boatswain Crone and three men. They made their landing. through a break In the reef on a smooth sandy beach, and the ship, after firing two shots from one of her three Inch guns to attract Jeffs, If he were In that neighborhood, turned to the south to find Puerto Aguado. the point at which the captain and bis boat's crew had made their camp. The party ashore was left to notify Jeffs If he appeared In answer to the signal guns and to search the coast if he did not show up. In the short interval that the boat was ashore a number of turtles were chased on the beach, but proved too much for their pursuers. Try as the men might to turn one. it would tear Itself away and get to the water, and none was caught until a bright lad found that by rap ping them on the shell with a boat stretcher, which momentarily stunned them, they could be turned on their backs before they recovered. Before this one or two men had almost been carried to sea by trying to hang to their turtle after it had reached the water. The ship hove to off Puerto Aguado and a whalebont ran In to a snug boat harbor, and there stood the re mains of a camp evidently occupied by a number of men for many months. The kitchen was marked by a stone fire place, wun tne cnarrea remains ot a fire, a number of pegs arranged for cooking ntensils and the bones of tur tles hanging up. the flesh dried on them. A rusty rifle was picked up on one side. Ilung over some bushes were old, rough clothes, probably hung out to dry when the cry of "Sail ho!" had brought Joy to the despairing casta ways after their five months' Imprison ment The object found of deepest interest to tne search party was a rusty rafcor with a black handle. . on which was scratched "Jeffs," the name of the missing man whose fate Is such a mystery. The rrason for the camp at this place was fonnd In a pool of fairly good water, one of the few on the coast of the island, as asserted by the. guides. As the afternoon was now, wearing away It became necessary to hunt an anchorage for the night,' and. standing to the west side of the island, the an chor was let go In Conway bay, ah open roadstead. Here the searchlight was played about the mountain and swung from side to side to attract the castaway's eye.. At every half. hour, a rocket swished Its way Into the air from the bridge. The searchlight was seen by the party on the other side of the island twenty miles away, so that its beam mast have been fairly visible all pver the island- At daylight a boat went .In .to thejeach Iq case the man (Continued On Page 81s.)
