against its operation, according 70
County Attorney Henry H. Jebens yes
terdag afternoon. This statement was
made in direct contradiction to that
of Assistant County Attorney Realh
Oueson. who, a few days previous, in
timated that the state would be salts
fed if the partitions of the building
were torn out and the place used as a
warehouse. County Attorney Jebens
expressed his optimistic hopes as to
the outcome OF the hearing for a per
maueut injunction against the hotel in
question. and alleged that some sensa-
Jioual details would be barred for the
public eve, in case the defense put up
a hard battle Nothing but a com
plete closing Of the RIveryiew hotel
and an injunction restraining William
Beins and Gus Rooster from the using
the building for an purpose what
ever, viii satisfy the state said
County Attorney Jebens in giving his
views Of the case yesterday We want
the place boarded up. the doors and
windows barricaded so that there will
be no possibility of using the building
at all We want the Riverview build
ing 10 remain empty and idle for a
year as an example. Had there been
no effort on the part Of the defend
ants to effect a compromise, the state
would have aCQuiesCed. But both the
owner Of the building and the pro
prietor of the hotel gave US all the
trouble they could And now, when
we have won the preliminary struggle,
they whisper compromise. There is no
chance Of any agreement except one
that will close the building for a year

knew that glare of ice was there, and
yet he strewed no ashes; score his

dashes. An easy thing it is to fling
some ashes on planking; do that, and
then the sons of men your kindness
will be thanking. But those who slip
and break a hip or sprain neck or
ankle, on naked ice, will not act nice;
the words they use will rankle. The
thoughtful act that's born of tact is
like a benediction; it takes the smarts
from troubled hearts, and lessons grief

The "DACIA."


The "Dacia" is a German built boat
and was formerly a German-owned
ship which took refuge in American
waters at the beginning of the war.
The ship was sold it is said under
peculiar circumstances, to Mr. Il. N.
Breitung, who is Of German extraction.
The validity of the transfer is the
point in dispute. Mr. Breitung has
been notified that if he sends this yes
sci to sea he does it at bis own risk.
Important questions Of international
law are involved in this matter. If the
transfer was made in good faith Mr.
Breitung can ship all the cotton he
likes, but if the transfer was fraudu-
lent and the "Dacia" is still German
boat it must take chances like any
other vessel belonging to a belligerent
power. This is a matter which must
and win be settled in a prize court.
No doubt the right conclusion will be
reached by due process Of law and any
attempt to stir up an international row
over it is not likely to succeed. North.

"THE MISLEADING LADY"

4 The above caption is the title Of q
splendidly blended mixture of farce and
melodrama which will be staged as an
opener of the new Municipal Theatre
IN this city on Tuesday evening, Feb. 9.
The plot principally concerns the love
affairs of society belle and a hard
headed, practical young business man.
Helen Steele, fancy free and a tiirt, adj
vises Jack Craigen that from his dec
larations the only woman who will ever
make him happy is one that he will
capture and keep under bell glass.
The advice is no sooner given than she
is siezed, bound, hooded and carried
presto away in the said gentleman S
auto, His Adirondack lodge is none
too inviting, and to make sure that his
fair captive will remain for while he
anchors her by the ankle with a chain
that has held his pet hunting dog.
Complications are many and give OPP
portunity for delightful cross fire, de-
spite the hysterical condition of his
charge. a blow from a telephone trans
mitter knocks out the said Mr., Craigen,
enables the captive to secure the tiny
key and effect her release. And what
she does is but natural with the sex.
She rushes out in the storm in ball
room garbto find medical assistance,
and finds the man who tanned her.
"The Misleading Lady" is a unique |
comedy and sure to cure the blues.
