edies-Two of tho Cases Now Up

Lawyers and social students who

| of like kind, and their crimes were the
| elimination of troubles in which won

In every instance the penalty OF
death was stipulated by the jury ex
cept in the case of one Mexican. who
pleaded guilty before trial.
The cases of two men not included
in the ten are before the supreme
court on appeal These two men are
Americans. Robert u, Talley and Louis
Nelson. The former killed Jesse u

 Beginning January the city physician will make bimonthly inspections of the pupils at all of the city schools. The board of education at a recent meeting decided to put this plan in operation.
 A large enrolment is anticipated for the ensuing session at the Alabama Pres byterian college, for which the students are beginning to arrive. Most of the boys went home for the holidays. They are re- turning, however, and coming with then are many new students
 pr. E. D. McDougall, president of the college, considers this evidence of better tines in Alabama. Before the European war broke out" he said, "our prospects for the enrolment this session indicated that we would have to make an addition to the dormitory, or else board some o1 the students in the city Several of the boys who had planned to come, however | particularly in south Alabama, were kep' 1 away by their parents when the depres | sion brought on by the low price of cot | ton began. Many of these boys whom wt | expected at the first of the year are now returning with the new students, and this seems to indicate to my mind that the peo | pie of Alabama are readily adjusting themselves to the changed conditions" l ].

her volcano-ruined home by her nurse, Croessa only to be captured by Phos- nician pirates and sold into the slave market at Carthage and offered up as sacrifice to Molocf. Also you'll leaiit all about the beautiful queen Sophoniss ba, the daughter of Hadrubal chief of the Carthagenian republic, and the wicked high priest, Karthalo, and what became of them all. when the finale sounds their doom.
 This epoch making photo-play is-s acted with as much skill and finesse on the film at the Majestic as though it.. were being done by real flesh and blood reople next door at the Lyric.
 The scenery, the costumes, the hum dreds of ponderous stage properties,' 7 and accessories, are amazing in their vastness as well as their accuracy.
 One thing that especially appealed to me about "Cabiria' was the "wording1's of the story. It is so essentially "d' Ai.-s nunzio." Those of us who have read his "rhe Triumph of Death and IL, Fuoco" (The Flame of Life), and the rest recognize his wonderful word painting-with all of it's poetic fire. it's human subtlety, its delicacy of sugges- tion and it's imaginative dramatic force. and I think you will agree with me that his beauty of language in the telling of the story is not the least of the at fractions.

smoking and flaming; against the lava covered sky. while the sizzling streams of molten lead sky-rocket toward high heaven, and then descend upon the ground while in the fltful light Sicil- ian peasants garbed in dress of the third century, B. C., drive their sheep and their goats and their donkeys ahead in long, panic stricken procession and then Catana falls in ruins, it's marble columns and porticoes tumbling down like the temple Samson shook to earth by his mighty stength, and the fleeing slaves and their masters fighting their way for liberty, why you marvel at what the cost of such thing really would be!
 No. figures do not lie,' when it comes to "Cabiria," I'm sure.
 These are the initial pictures-part of the First Episode" in Gabrielle q d'Annunzios dramatic and picturesque story of the Punic wars.
 ''The Temple of Moloch,' almost as vast a structure and certainly as solid as far as may be discerned as St. Peters crowded by the worshiping throngs, the blazing altar fires, and then a glimpse of the illimitable stretches of the desert with caravans of camels crossing in the moonlight, and the great rock walls rising out of the sea, makes a picture never to be forgotten
 Hann1Ddl, With. nlS armies, IS SnONn crossing the Alps, and Fulvius scales the walls of Carthage, upon the shields of the Roman soldiers, who mount layer upon layer, until the climax is reached And finally the Greek Archimedes focusing the rays of the sun upon the wooden vessels, affords an oportunity of seeing a battle fleet burning to the waters edge.
 The most marvellous character in the entire dramatic spectacle is Maciste (the colored counterpart, by the way. of Ursus in "Quo Vadis?') a veritable Her cules, who not only looks the part but acts it marvellously. His brawny mus cle, his tremendous height, his daring and his loyalty at all times, make him stand out as figure of great streng Il and interest in the powerfully dramatic story.
 You cannot see "Cabiria" without grasping some idea of the dangerous and difficult feats that the movie players must perform. sH The heights from which the soldiers fall---hundreds of feet from the top of the walls to the ground-and then when the Roman hero, Fulvius, leaps into the sea, shows tremendous nerve and con- fidence that these actor folk must pos ksess in order to perform their parts. There is no. use to go into q An nunzio's story of "Cabiria.'
