The beautiful poem, Hiawatha,

CITY PICTURE SHOWS

The Norwegian Diet recently pas
ssd law providing that the licen-
SIS of all motion picture theaters
in Norway shall expire in 1916.
The cities may then renew the Ii
censes or establish municipal mo-
ton picture shows. Many of the ci-
ties propose to show educational
films in municipilizsd theaters think
ing the surplus earnings of the
theaters will increase the city re-
venues. The proprietors of the mo-
ton picture houses will lose their
businesses without compensation, al
though some of the cities are ex-
tending the time for canceling the
licenses until 1918.

According to Mr.. Klemm. work on the
extension of the line from Bonner

cars will be running between Kansas

vember 1. The Topeka extension will
be completed by August, 1915.
I'VE are figuring on three differ

routes which we are going to survey
is on the north side of the river bot
toms; a second is to follow the ridge
road, south of the river, and the
third is the Wakarusa road, still far
ther SOUTH
The chances are that the line will
join the street railway Vinewood park
line southeast of Topeka and use their
tracks to Topeka. No terminus has
been decided upon. The power plant
will be located in Kansas City.
Mr.. Klemm and Mr.. Helm both
stated that the line will not be ex-
tended farther west than Topeka

WHAT STOMACHS! LIBEL CASE RESTS
Both Roosevelt and Barnes Re-
main on the Field.
Day of Conferences AmOne
Lawyers and Principals.

Syracuse, May with court in
recess today until Monday, the soft
pedal was put on the political dis
cord of the Barnes-Roosevelt libel
trial.
Today's activities consisted wholly
of conferences between the lawyers
and principals. Roosevelt and Barnes
both remained here.
Heavy rains curbed the co1onePs
outdoor exercise program but he
planned to take a long walk despite
the showers and possibly horseback
ride. Barnes and Roosevelt both met
their lawyers at q local hotel.
Behind the scenes, the celebrated
case really was being decided to a
large degree.
Trial Judge Andrews began consid-
ering his instructions to the jury.
Counsel for both sides concede that
these instructions will largely swing
the case. The coloneps testimony was
the main point being considered. That
more will be stricken from the record
and ordered ignored by the court was
the prediction of Barnes's counsel
That the Judge will not direct verdict
was generally believed. Barnes coun-
sci today asserted, that a verdict sdi-
rected for the New York state leader
with the jury to assess the damages
he is entitled to was possible.
The Roosevelt side expects to con-
day. Barnes's personal testimony will
take two or three days, it is be-
lieved. He also has about 25 wit
nesses and lawyers are not sure
whether the case can be finished next
week.

Violation of Sunday Labor Law,
Declares His Opinion.
AN APPEAL FROM NATHANSON
Local Movie Owner Says He'll
Go to Supreme Court.
May Apply to Topeka's Audi
tOrium Concerts.

Free Sunday theaters are under the
ban OF the state anti-Sunday labor
laws and the city ordinances based
upon them. in the opinion of Judge
A. w. Dana. of the first division dis
trict court. delivered this morning up
on the appeal of Lew Nathanson from
the police court. Nathanson will ap-
peal his case to the supreme court in
the hope of obtaining decision from
that tribunal that the employment of
his theater's Sunday free-wiH offer
ings for charity-wlen no regular ad-
mission is charged-changes the as
pect of the case.
Judge Dana, howver, bases his
opinion upon a Kansas supreme court
decision in a Sunday theater case
wherein the higher court has already
found that the work of opening, and
conducting the theater is in itself a
violation of the Sunday labor laws.
He held that the fact of not conduct
ing the entertainment for profit to the
owner of the theater did not change
the situation so far as the application
of the state law prohibiting Sunday
labor.
An interesting aspect on this deci-
sion is its probable applicability to the
free Sunday concerts given under the
auspices Of the Topeka city govern
ment in the Auditorium and in To-
peka,S marks.

THRUST At BALTIC PROVINCES

London May 1.-The DEVELOPMENT
on the northern extremities OF the two
fronts, both east and west, the Smelling
of Dunkirk in France and the new
German offensive movement aimed at
the Baltic. provinces, take precedence
in the war news of today: British
aviators have discovered and attacked
the German batteries which from a
distance variously estimated by Eng
lish observers at from 16 to even %
miles, hurled great shells at the
French port, but it remains to be seen
whether the bombs dropped did
enough damage to put the guns out of
action.
London newspapers say this bonn
bardment of Dunkirk means that the
Germans still cling to their cherished
idea of occupying the French coast
nearest England and more than one
editorial writer today points out that
Flanders still remains the critical
theater of operations.
Special dispatches from Petrograd
disagree as to the purpose of the Ger
man thrust at the extreme Russian
right. One theory connects it with
probable movement of the German
fleet in the Baltic, looking to the in
vasion of the Baltic provinces An
other idea is that this advance is aim
at Libau and Riga, the former a
strong Russian naval base and the lat
ter one Of the most important ports

intend to strike at the railroad run
