VISIT OF JAPS ALARMS PEOPLE ON SMALL ISLE Head of Town Sends Hurry Call to General Wood For Defen live Troops By WALTER ROBB Special Wireless to the Harrislurg Telegraph and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright. Manila, May 11.

The president of the town of Bas'cowort, located In the Batanes group of islands, the northern most horizon of the Philippines and less than fifty miles from Formosa, fias requested that a company of constabulary soldiers be sent there as a result of a recent visit to that place of Japanese motorboats. The presidente reports that the only Inquiries made by the Japanese was regarding the number of soldiers stationed at Batanes. Lonesome municipal officials alarmed' at the nature of the Japanese inquiry, wants the constabulary troops sent there to repel any possible invaders. Governor General Wood has forwarded the president's request to the Secretary of the Interior of the Philippines, who is investigating the advisability of sending a company of soldiers to the wind swept island. Governor Wood last week made a visit to the town of Basco because of a radioed report, of" a Japanese boat there.

The Japanese told residents of the town that they had come In search of fresh water. They also denied that they were poaching fish in American waters. Governor Wood believes that explanation of the Batanes report lies in the fact that Japanese fishermen also come there frequently for fresh water. The government recently completed a radio station In the Northern Island, and Governor Wood has ordered that daily news bulletins be sent inhabitants there. CAMP HILL NOTES Mr.

FROM LUXOR TO LEBANON RANGE DELIGHTED DINERS Brilliant Costumes, With Graceful Dancing Specialties, Clever Acts and Splendid Singing, Combine to Captivate Crowd at Cabaret Fantastique i From Luxor to Lebanon ranged the Cabaret Fantastique, held last evening in the Magaro Coliseum, by, for, and with Harrisburg people for the Penn State College building fund. And whether it was Luxor or Lebanon, the three hundred and more who sat at the tables sur rounding, the dancing floor and observed the professionally played acta were unanimous in their opinion that it was among the best amateur efforts ever produced here.

The players 'performed with spirit and enthusiasm so infectious that the caibareters were soon victims to their huge enjoyment Multi colored lights, shining from deep wells in the floor, from the frescoed balcony, and from three spotlights, cast a carnival hue over the dancing audience. King Tut Scores Hit By far the most elaborate and pretentious production of the evening was "King Tut Steps Out," in which Miss Ruth who wrote, directed and painted the costumes and scenery, and played a mother in law's part, showed what happened at the old Egyptian court when the king staged a riotous party. Following a prolog by John Mc Ilhenny Smith, whose herculean frame was revealed to advantage in a costume that would have done credit to one of the lower Nile tailors, the act moved with speed and syncopation through varied actions. As King Tut, played with commendable restraint by A. G.

Knisely, reclined upon his equine couch, the bell dancers of his court appeared before him. They were Cecelia Kunkel, Marion Nell and Grace Smith, of Lancaster. Miss Smith substituted last evening for Miss Nelle Payne, who fell 'while rehearsing her dance yesterday afternoon and sustained a fractured leg. This accident cast a gloom over the entire cast. The dancers were given a tremendous ovation as they concluded their geometrical measure.

Traveling Salesmen Sing Daniel H. Kunkel, Walter Gallagher and W. J. Rahill were the traveling salesmen who disclosed in lugubrious tones the earlier scandals in Egypt. They sang of these misdeeds to the great Joy of audience and the mistrust of Sing Tut, who waved them out of his sight.

But, cheered by the audience, they came Iback and sang a Coue number of clever conception. Dan: Kunkel bore the burden of the song in this number. Came then Miss Grace Smith, as "the favorite dancer of the court. Remarkably graceful, she executed the Egyptian number to King Tut's great pleasure, and to the even greater, appreciation of the audience. Draped about the throne were the ladies in waiting, Miss Eleanor Et ter, Annette Bailey, Winifred Meyers, Mrs.

Meade D. Detweiler and Mrs. Howard M. Bingaman. C.

H. Kreider, of Annville, and J. Motter Fletcher put on a wrestling scene as Nubian slaves that was wildly applauded. And just when the King's party was at its height, the mother in law was announced to be returning, and by her slave W. S.

T. Hurlock) Miss Payne entered With menacing tread while the King, slaves, dancers, et al, sought refuge beneath the throne. Bliss Payne Congratulated Miss Payne was congratulated last evening for the manner in which she put the King Tut act over, having painted, the costumes, the scenery, written the words to the; songs, and the book of the act as well. Mrs. Lesley McCreath, general chairman of the committee in charge ot the Cabaret, referred to the act as the most clever amateur performance ever presented here.

Gingham Girls Score Miss Gertrude Olmsted, who taught her "Gingham Girls" an excellent hit of clogging, opened the show which included herself, Dorothy Hurlock, Elizabeth Brandt, Jane Hickok, William Bailev. Gilbert Bailey, Meredith Johnson, and Chris L. Jennings. The girls clogged with the nonchalant abandon of professionals and were given a great hand. Specialties in this act included songs by William Bailey and Chris Jen.

nings, and a clog number by Miss Olmsted and Gilbert Bailey. It was a fitting curtain raiser. Tango Dauccu Please Mr. and Mrs. Charles L.

Bailey, 111, in their Spanish tango number which was the second feature of the evening were given a tremendous oration. With the housclights darkened and three "spots" following them about the floor as they danced close to the tables, they presented the grace and spirit of the true tango. Mrs. Eailey wore a mulberry colored gown of velevt, with a large shawl thrown across her shoulder and roses on either side of her coiffure. Miss Eliza Bailey and Albert H.

Stackpole later in the evening appeared in a similar dance executing difficult steps with skill and grace. Miss Bailey wearing a black gown with a beautiful orange colored shawl. The Penn State Quartet, imported from the' college for the occasion, sang in collegiate style, and was given a warm applause. Thejr opening number, a negro spiritual was particularly well liked. The quartet included C.

E. Finley, G. B. Bauder, P. W.

Moor and E. E. Hill. Jazz Numbers Score While the Mannix Orchestra, which played for the general dancing and the show numbers, outdid itself on "Aunt Hagers Children's Blues," the "children" themselves appeared in an eccentric number led by Annette Bailey and including Gilbert Bailey, Fritz Wright and Eliza Bailey. Bizarre makeups, including red bobbed wigs, added to this act, which was exceptionally well received.

Gilbert Bailey and Fritz Wright did an excellent soft shoe dance, but the hit of the act was the number put on by Annette Bailey and J. Willard Oenslager. The latter, costumed variously in his King Tut raiment, a soft hat, and a cigarette did a regular Loon and Errol with Miss Bailey as an able accomplice. Mr. and Mrs.

Simon Greer, the latter formerly Miss Theodora Kaufman, did a speciatly waltz which again proved their terpsichorean triumphs to many who had seen them dance before, but which was a pleasant revelation to the less fortunate. Mr. Greer later presented his famous "Rube from Lebanon" character dance. Peasant Singers Splendid Led by Mrs. Wilbur F.

Harris, and accompanied by Miss Caroline M. Hahn and a group of troubadors, the Russian peasants sang a number of Russian, Czecho Slavakian and other folk songs to the great pleasure of the audience, which enjoyed every moment the group appeared on the stage. Miss Jean Rauch, as soloist in the "Gypsy Love Song" from Victor Herbert's opera "The Fortune Teller" charmed her hearers with the rare beauty of her voice and with her refreshingly unaffected stage presence. She received a huge spray of snapdragons and roses. Other numbers of the act were the traditional "Song of the Volga Boatmen," the Russian folk song "Three Cavaliers" in which A.

H. Stackpole as the "lovely maiden" made her curtesies to the "The Three and "Dark Eye one of the Chauve Souris" The singers were Mr. and Mrs. John W. Magoun, Mr.

and Mrs. Samuel W. Fleming, JrMr. and Mrs. Edward J.

Stackpole, Mr. and Mrs. Albert H. Stackpole, Mr. and Mrs.

Lesley McCreath, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore E. Seeyle, Mr. and Mrs.
