who has been connected with the Office

AN IMPORTANT RULING
Associate Judge Robert r. Henderson
Decided Case in County'S Favor.

A decision of some Importance was
rendered by Judge Henderson in Cum
berland on last Friday when he held
constitutional the law creating the
Miners and Operators Cooperative Re-
lief Fund.
The question of constitutionality of
the law was raised when the County
Commissioners of Allegany and Garrett
counties brought suit to compel certain
mine owners to pay over to the respec-
tive funds the amount which they owe
at the present time. One suit was
brought in Allegany county and two in
Garrett and all three were decided at
the same time by the Court in favor of
the claims of the counties.
The law in question was repealed at
the last session of the Legislature, so
far as new payments or claims are con-
cerned. but it was provided that the
mines and miners should continue to
pay into the old fund until all claims
existing against the same on Nov. l,
1914, should be paid. Refusal to pay
was based on the ground that the act
was one of class legislation in that it
compelled those engaged in mining to
pay insurance which was not required
of those engaged in other industries.
The effect of the decision so far as
Garrett county is concerned will be to
bring into the miners fund in this
county about $500 which will be suf
ficient to pay up all existing claims of
that nature.
The local County Commissioners were
represented by Attorneys &. S. Hamill
and E. H. Sincell.

It has been suggested that the com ing Legislature combine the Ark ansas Tax Commission and the Ark ansas R K Commission. The work of these two Commissions are not at all in the same line. and they should not be combined. lift is the idea of the Legislature to cut down expenses of the State Government, why not abol- ish all Boards and turn the State Institutions over to the State off, eials, where they belong. They have plenty of time to look after them, and it would be a great saving to the people.

charge, he is again Soaked by the
cabman, this time with his capable fists.
Travers strikes back, and the cabman
falls, his head hitting curb-stone. The
ambulance surgeon arrives, pronoun-
ces the man dying, and advises Pa
vers to flee. Taking both the advice
and the cab, Travers and his valet has
ten to another wharf and take ship for
at the little port of Porto Banos, the
consul of that forsaken place, who is
also an instigator of revolutions offers
to let Travers take his credentials and
pose as dictator in his place, pretend
ing to be afraid OF the yellow fever,
but really because he has learned of
new revolution and,is afraid of his life.
Travers, fearing the law is already on
his track, eagerly accepts the offer and
goes ashore as the new dictator. Then
things happen with marvellous celebrity
and Travers becomes the center of a
small cyclone of trouble, the chief fac
tors in which are the opposing factions
of the revolution, the wife of the con-
sui, vengeful former sweetheart of
the latter, and pretty young mission
airy with whom Travers has fallen
desperately in love. How he finally
comes unscathed from his many perils
and wins his lady-love makes screen
comedy of unusual merit
Produced in Cuba and Central
America, the photoplay possesses all
the color and exactitude of environ
ment necessary to a convincing ex-
position of the thrillingly humorous
story, and John Barrymore's irresisti-
BILE performance, promoted by the as
sistance of an unusually capable sup
porting company, provides the feature
with every requisite quality.

On the circumstantal evidence OF
the bloody dagger having been found
in his bedroom, young Norrie Ford is
indicted on the terrible charge of muir
dering his uncle, boss and bully in an
Allegheny lumber camp, and is SEN
fenced to death.
Breaking away from his guards,
Norrie escapes into the mountains
where he is hidden from the pursuing
posse in the cabin of a mysterious
mountain girl of beauty and culture,
who aids him to make his escape to
Argentine, after they have vowed their
love for each other.
Growing a beard and changing his
name, Norrie Ford soon becomes a
favorite in the best circles of gay
Buenos Ayres. Sending letter after
letter to the mountain girl, whom he
knows only as 1.-THE Wild Olive" the
letters are all returned marked "No
Such Name. In his endeavors to for
get her he becomes engaged to a New
York girl and shortly after is trans
ferred to New York by his firm. Ven
turing back to the States he finds "The
Wild Olive again, only to learn that she
is the girl chum of his betrothed.
Meanwhile he has been seen by a
detective who was one Of the deputies
during his trial for murder. The clash
between Norrie's fiancee and 1.-THE
Wild Olive" and the latter's noble
sacrifice not only to the fiancee but
also to an attorney sutton on condition
that he clear Norrie of the murder
charge, eliminate in dramatic court
room scene where the identity of the
real murderer is discovered and Norrie
is acquitted.
