Majestic-"Last Days of Pompeii"


The pinacle of realism was reached
In the motion picture drama when the
pictures Of "The Last Days of Pompeii"
were staged. With the mighty vesu-
vius vomiting flames. lava and rock
from its crater. the pictures were made
and real scene such as that when the
ancient city was buried was repro
duced by nature to assist man in
showing what happened centuries ago
That is one of the facts that strikes
the audience most forcibly at the Ma
jestfc this week where the Kleine pic
lures of THE Last Days of Pompeii'
are being shown at two matinees daily
and two performances nightly.
| The pictures were staged on the site
of Pompeii, at the foot OF the mountain
and a time was selected when the ia
nous volcano was In eruption. 1t
helped wonderfully in staging what
would have otherwise been an impos-
sible scene. even in this modern day of
wonders. The man with the camera
must have stood within few feet Of
the streams of lava and rock when he
secured the pictures. for red hot stones
are falling round him.. the shrubbery
| Is on fire on either side and in front
OF him, and in many other ways his
| SAOSSi4SSo
| Is shown.
The staging of the pictures Is sump-
tuous and complete. reminding the au-
dience very much of the companion
picture produced under the same man
agement, "Quo Vadis?' In fact, there is
an arena scene with the lions, the
gladiators and the vast multitudes
cheering. which is similar to that Of
Quo Vadis?" but In many respects 1t
is superior.
The acting is splendid and especial
ly that Of the young actress who plays
the part OF the blind girl, whose won
derful instinct leads to the rescue OF
the man she loves and the woman whom
he loves. It IL a piece of acting that
were It on the legitimate stage would
bring forth rounds of applause from
levery audience.
Several THOUSAND people are used in
the scenes and the costuming of them
Unjust have cost small fortune in It,
self. When one considers the elaborate
ness of the properties, the castles. the
palaces the arena and other features,
the claim Of the MANAGEMENT that sew
eral hundred. thousand dollars were
'iuRept can be appreciated.

WHAT IS CH|LD'S
GREATEST NEED
DISCUSSION BEFORE NATIONAL
CHILD LABOR COMMITTEE CON.
FERENCE ON SUBJECT.

Jacksonville, Fla, March 13.-At
the opening meeting of the National
Child Labor Conference held in this
city this morning at the Board OF
Trade Auditorium, the question "Shall
Charitable Societies Relieve Family
Distress by Finding Work for Chill
.dren," was Interestingly discussed by
A. T. Jamison, of the Connie Maxwell
.Orphanage, of Greenwood, S. c. Mr,
Jamison said in part:
1T seems to me that so far as the
question relates to children under
fourteen years of age, a negative an
swer must be given. Work is not
the little child's greatest need. The
child needs care and training. He
must be developed along normal lines,
and it is abnormal for him to work
at a remuneratiye task, supposedly in
a manufacturing Establishment, in or
der that he may support the destitute
family of which he is a member.
"The tyro in charity work may feel
that it is quick, easy and cheap to
find the child job and thus relieve
family distress. But it is stopping
the stream at its source to compel
young, tender child to labor for the
very small wage that is possible for
him to earn when he should be en-.
gagged diligently in an effort to Sc
cure training that shall fit him to
take a developed and well-taught
mans place in the world. No child
,an get an education and support a
family at one and the same time. The |
community should realize that it is
to support the widowed
mother for awhile, in order that the |
'hild may have opportunity to get |
such training as will will enable him
o support her in all the years of the
uture."

fur traders, Jews of Siberia, carry on
their operations.
All the inhabitants OF Verkhoyan-

The Yokuts are such ambitious and
aggressive people that they do not
seem to mind the fact that the riv-

small trees have been known to snap
and split from the biting force of
the cold.

face so that there is just enough
space to see and breathe through.

NEW YORK HAS
Z MILE GALE
WHICH PLAYS HAVOC WITH
HATS AND LINGERIE - BOY
SCOUTS AID WOMEN.

New York March IA northwest
gale, clipping along over New York
at 72-mile gait, caused many ac-
cidents and picked out new down
town playground. 1t deserted its old
pussy -iu-the- corner field on the Flat
iron corner to roar its way down
the Broadway canyon and romp gaily
around the lofty Woolworth pile,
which quiNered under the shock.
For awhile the wind just fumed
and frettcd, bounding up and down in
fury. Then like a cat chasing its
tail, it ran circles round and round
between the federal and WOolworth
buildings. Next it made up its mind
this sure was one great little place
for carabet show after all It
picked up a cute little dancing floor
aGOut 100 feet in diameter 5ust In
frcr, of the Woolworth's Broadway
entrance. 1t grabbed every passerby
BY the waist or other point of least
resistance Mcu cussed, women tur-
Hay trotted and children bunny hug
god with the semi-hurricane.
Nearly Tore Off Clothes.
Incidentally the wind almost tore
the clothes off peoples backs. I'm
sauntering southwark
from Park place, hats and overcoats
and skirts suddenly scared. Men and
women their coats and skirts sudden
ly ballooned, stood bewidered, uncer-
tain whether to go ahead or beat a
retreat Meanwhile their hats flew
almost out of sight, straight up in the
air.
Fifteen boy scouts retrieved them
md held the fort bravely for another
lour, until the wind fell.
The boys were eager to do their
good turn" for the day, and as they
suddenly loomed up on the edge of
he whirlwind they grabbed those
battling with the gale to steady them.
The next second the wind caught the
'escuer and rescued and the struggle
o keep on ones feet was on.
The tremendous air. pressure,
which reached a velocity of 70 miles
IN hour, exhibited its strength most
'trikingly at the corner of Twenty
second street and Second avenue,
when plate glass windows gave way
With a report, splinters of glass fly
ng in all directions. Forty planks
md beams, a pile a hundred feet long
blown from the roof of the eighteen
story loft building that is in course
If construction, crashed to the ground
n close proximity to automobiles and
pedestrians. No one was hurt in eth
,r case.
Pulled from its fastenings on the
ourth floor, a large billboard sign
vas dashed against the iron canopy
,ver the sidewalk and broke in sew
,ral pieces. A flying splinter smash
ID a window of a passing Washington
street car, but injured nobody. A big
ron sign was wrenched from its fas-
enings, breaking its way through a
)late glass window.
Twenty feet of an advertising sign
hree feet wide were ripped from the
ninth floor of a building, falling to
he middle of the street.

New Postal Service
Pays No Damages

Despite ali the discussion,
it is doubtful if parcels post
can be conducted much cheap
er than express rate service.
The use Of express service
dates back to the days OF
Wells Fargo on the frontier
and plains of the wild western
country, when private corpor-
ations did what the govern
ment could not do and does
not do today-guarantee safe
delivery and immunity against
damages. In parcels post the
Individual will have no re-
course from the government
for any loss sustained, and the
millions paid out by express
companies in loss and dam
age will be saved by the gov
ernment. These aret the days
Of progress, and we must ex-
pertinent at times, and though
we may make Improbable
and unpopular departures.
With nothing to pay for losses
and damages, Uncle Sans
rates on parcels post service
should be at a minimum. =

Democratic Senators Get
Warning From Home

According to the reports
going into Washington, any
Democratic senator w b o
opposes the Underwood tariff
bill digs his own political
grave from which there shall
be no resurrection, the two
Louisiana senators possibly
excepted, on account Of the
large sugar interests OF that
state. The bill requires 4o
senatorial votes to pass, and
there are 81 Democratic sena-
tors, SO if two Louisiana sena-
tors desert their party on
account of sugar" they will
still have 4o, and if one more
deserts OF account of free
wool, the senate would then
be a tie, and Vice President
Marshall would give the de-
Gliding vote in favor of the
bill. However, the progress
sive republicans can hardly
refuse to support the bill as a
decided improvement over the
existing tariff which they have
all bitterly denounced. There
is L.aFollettee of Wisconsin,
Cummings of Iowa, Bristow
of Kansas, Norris of Nebras-
ka, Work Of California and
Poindexter of Washington,
making six radical Progress
sfves of whom al least three
will have to vote for the bill
or brand themselves as rant

Increase In Numbers.

The United States cencus
explodes the fallacy of the
vanishing Indian race, show
ing that in the past ten years
there has been an increase Of
the duskyb oys and girls Of ~,
43o, or seven per cent. The
total number of Indians in the
United States is shown ito
have been 265, ,603,in 1910.
besides 25,331 in Alaska.
There are $50 different
tribes in the country, and it
takes s. different kinds Of
talk, or linguistic varities,
to navigate the lounges Of the
tribes.
The census bulletin contains
this interesting and significant
paragraph, The fact that
stands out most prominently
is the high proportion OF
young persons among the
mixed bloods as compared
with the full-bloods. A similar
difference is to be noted be-
tween the mixed tribal bloods
and the full tribal bloods. In
both cases the difference may
be accounted for in part by
the fact that mixed marriages
had not become common un-
til comparatively re c n
years. Another reason fot
the predominance of the
young element among the
mixed bloods is no doubt
found in the greater fertility
Of mixed marriages.
