ADJUSTMENTS
GREAT
 FILM ENJOYED

Just now, when all America is look ing to the youth of the country to re- deem it from the threatened engulfing by autocracy, no more timely story than Edward Everett Hales The Man Without a Country could be served via the screen and the Hip today and tomorrow will show the picture recent ly made from this immortal story. To those whos have not read the story of Phillip Nolan, who cursed his country, saying, Damn the United States. l hope I never will see it again." will do we'll to view the subsequent mental torture of this hasty eX-naval officer who was sentenced by his president to be confined on a man-of-war until he died and never to hear the name of his country spoken again or to see it in print. He lived to a ripe old age, trans ferred from one ship to another and died blessing the country he had once cursed.
 The Man Without a Country is done with a modern touch featuring Florence LaBadie, whom many will re- member for the girl in the one of the first serials, The Diamond From the Sky" Miss LaBadie was killed just after the completion of this wonderful patriotic picture and it is said to be the greatest effort of her life.
 The modern tale of the young sweet heart of the girl who is pacifist is brought to a realization of his false po- sition by the fate of Phillip Nolan and he turns in his tracks and becomes a good American.
 Screen time may be had by phoning the theater at all times.

Last pax For mThe crisis'

Last OaY TOT ne OTlSiS
 The film adaptation of Winston Churchills The Crisis which was produced by Selig under the direction of Colin Campbell. lures the describer into the dangerous channels of super latives. In all truth and honesty, "The Crisis is a great photoplay production. Small wonder that the author ex- pressed himself as delighted with the visualization of his most successful novel The book will naturally stim- ulate interest in the picture, but we feel that it will not be disproportionate to the numbers who will read the book after seeing the picture.
 The thriller which shows a horse and rider fall down a steep cliff, finds the fondest hopes for it's startling eff feet upon the spectator fully realized But we are not prepared to say that it thrills more than the simple picture of Abraham Lincoln standing before a window and after receiving word that he has been elected to the presidency, lifting his eyes and hands in an appeal for guidance in discharging the great responsibility he will soon assume. Other stirring instances can be pointed out; there are many, among them be- ing the Lincoln-D Douglas debate. Every American will thrill at these realistic scenes which the director led up to so effectively and which quicken the &C., tion of any heart that realizes what that debate really meant to the future of this nation.
 The great crowds that packed the Columbia theater to capacity yester- day were not disappointed as every one proclaimed the Crisis" more ap- pealing this time than ever before ow- ing to the condition of the country. This is the last day

INSTRUCTION TO
 JURY PROTESTED

Denouncing as contrary to the law certain instruction to the jury which returned verdict Of manslaughter in the case of H. B. Miner, charged with murder, George Purdy Bullard, coun- sel for the defense, yesterday argued a motion for a new trial. Judge Stan ford took the matter under advisement until 9:30 o'clock this morning.
 Mr. Bullard took exception to the in- struction which he read to the court:
 ''The court further instructs the jury that if a person kills another through mere cowardice, or under circum- stances which are not, in the opinion of the jury, sufficient to induce a reas- enable and well grounded belief of dan ger to life, or of great bodily harm. in the mind of an ordinary courageous man, the law will not justify the kill ing on the ground of self defense"
 Nil. Bullard held that this was con trary to the statute and that words were read into the law. He had es- pecIal reference to the word courage ous" citing cases from supreme court rulings in this state and California, that such instruction was illegal as it is not for the jury to determine whether or not the defendant is an ordinarily courageous man"
 "A supreme court lullnS III Wnlcn the decision was reversed because the jury had been instructed that If a man kills another through mere cowardice the law will not justify the killing on the ground of self defense" was also cited by MT. Bullard.
 Miner was tried for the murder of a man known as James Williams whom he alleged threatened him with a knife. There were no eye witnesses to the killing, which Miner held was com mitted in self defense. The case went to the jury last Saturcay afternoon and after deliberating "A hours a verdict of manslaughter was returned.

The nationality of the famous Theda Sara, who is at present appearing at the Lamara in the title role of the Will

of the public safety commission gath
cred today in special session to con.
slider charges that forest fires in
northern Minnesota were due, in part
at least, to incendarism. According
to State Forester w. T. Cox, the
charges have a direct relation to the
war and therefore are proper subjects
for investigation and action by the
war board. 1t was pointed out that
the fires began after announcement
of the governments plan to construct
many wooden ships as a means of
combating the submarine menace.
The situation in the north today is
very bad, Mr.. Cox said. Reports In
dicated many new fires and higher
