David put down report he had read for the fourth time without seeming to get one word of it through his head. What was the matter? Why did the simple, lucid analysis before him. which he had himself drawn up, make no inn pression on is understanding? No, there was nothing wrong with the report He was reading proof sheets of it which had been gone over and checked up by his assistants as clear and correct. The trouble must be with him. The sound of something falling in Cora's room brought him to his feet outstanding and on run for her room. He found her quietly sewing on some tiny garments.
 What was 1t? What was that sound?' he asked breathlessly.

 David laughed sheepishly, kissed her and went back to his work without ex- plaining. There was no need for it. His
 
 nerve was now tensed and on guard for Cora even when he was not conscious of it. That was why he could not get his mind to stay with his work; why he could not get his own clear report through his head.
 Like something released from the sea s bed and slowly rising to the surface had been growing on David the consciousness that Cora was approaching her fight for ifo -hnr. ox1-f, e 1F 4I,a,, to come.

That Splendid Artist, Frank Keenan,
 In aSplendid Photoplay Well Produced
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Mir. Keenans latest play to be pre-
 sented to Birmingham movie fans is "The
 Bride of Hate"
 1 It gives the truly wonderful MT. Kee-
 nan an opportunity of creating another
 remarkable type. He is seen as a
 Louisiana planter who, to revenge him
 self on the man who seduced ms niece
 and was responsible for her death, passes
 off a slave girl his ward. His plan
 works well. The man falls in love with 1 the girl and marries her. At the wedding
 the planter tells the story of his friends 1 treachery and makes the girls race 1 known. Later it develops that the girl is
 not colored after all, but is an aristo- cratic Spanish girl who had been forced hint of romance between the planter
 and the girl.
 1 The story Is consistently interesting and intelligently and artistically pre- sented. The much abused and much Ioverworked southern atmosphere is con vincingly transferred to the screen. Some
 scenes on an old Mississippi stern wheeler
 and beautiful glimpses of Louisiana plantation have genuine aharm, and to
 add to the realism, there are scenes in
 New Orleans during a yellow fever cpl demic and one or two flashes showing the seamy side of slavery. ! Opposite MT. Keenan is Margery Will | son. who is a gentle and soulful-eyed lit- l tie slave girl. | On the whole, "The Bride of Hate is a coIorful, well acted and entertaining 1 feature.
 The following is the cast: | Dr. Dudley Duprez, Frank Keenan. | Mercedes Mendoza, Margery Wilson. Paul Crenshaw, Jerome Story. | Judge Shone, David M. Hartford | Rose Duprez, Elvira Well. | Nanny Lou, Mrs. J. Hunt. l Directed by Walter Edwards. Written | by John Lynch.

Game Deer Disappearing

New York, January 17.-Deer are being killed in such numbers in the United States that the day is not far off when none will be seen outside or the state estuaries and parks. according to pr. William T. Hornady, director of the geological park. He made this statement in his talk last night at the annual meet ing of the New York State Forestry asso- citation. Dr. Hornady said that no state has passed a law giving game better chance for continuance or lire. A par ticularlv deplorable condition of affairs exists west of the Mississippi river, he declared, 5000 deer having been killed in one Colorado county during one year. Since 1900 fine killing has been less there ' Dr. Hornady added, but hardly deer remains,

US. STEEL Lease
BEFORE COURT
Government Appeals From
Lower Courts Dismissal of
Suit to Dissolve Corporation
BY Associated Press


Washington, March .. = Hearings
on the governments suit to dissolve
Ae United States Steel Corporation
Sere begun to-day by the Supreme
court. An array of counsel fer both
sides appeared in the hearings! which
are expected to last until the middle
of next week.
Federal attorneys opened the argu-
ments, the government having appeal
ed for dismissal by the New Jersey
federal district court of its suit, which
was begun in 1911 in President Taft 5
administration.
The principal idea of the prosecu-
tion is domination by the corporation
in the iron and steel industry. 1t is
said to furnish more than one-half of
the national production and to control
prices. BY it's formation in 1901, the
government alleges, competition was
illegally stified.
The defense is that the corporation
has actually operated beneticially, has
not oppressed competitors nor the
public and is not illegal merely be-
cause of its size and combined assets.
In the lower court, the government
suit was dismissed, because, although
the court found that the corporation
was organized with intent to restrain
trade and had actually done so, it was
without power to alone fix and main
tain prices and was not, therefore, a
monopoly.

Dickinson Students Engage
in Lively Class Fight

Carlisle, Pa, March 9.-Windows
were broken, steam radiators torn
apart and walls and ceilings damaged
in the old college building at Dickin-
son last night during a fight between
sophomore and freshman classes. The
trouble came when members of the
sophomore class attempted to release
their fellowmembers who were kid
mapped, bound and secreted in the
building during the day by the fresh
men.
A banquet of the sophomores was
scheduled to be held here tonight.
and yesterday the freshmen, about 100
strong, secured the town for the soph-
omores. Many of them were captur-
ed and taken to the old building

VILLA MUNITIONS
FOUND IN CACHE
Captured Bandit Reveals Hid
ing Place in Return For Gov
ernment Pardon

chihuahua City, Mex, March 5.--A
large quantity of ammunition hidden
by Villa forces was found by the
de facto troops after the battle of
Cusihuiriachic, according to an afficial
report made public here to-day. A
prisoner captured by the Carranza
forces during the battle, revealed the
hiding place of the ammunition in re-
turn for pardon. The cache contain
ed several thousand rifle cartridges
and artillery shells.
Reports from the Guerrero district
of Western Chihuahua say the Villa
forces have become badly disorganiz-
ed because of the absence of Villa
on the field and the lack of leaders
in his absence.
Ammunition has been received from
Mexico City by General Murguia and
twenty thousand rounds were sent
north to supply tn ede facto troops
in the field near Sasas Grandes.
Two thousand government troops
from Sonora, including a large num-
ber of Yaqui Indians, have reached
Casas Grandes, having marched over
land from the interior of Sonora.

WHITE GRUBS ARE
TO BE STUDIED
Worst Enemy of the Farmer to
Be Tanned by State
biologists Men

Part of the investigation work of
the Bureau of Zoology of the State
Department of Agriculture during the
of the white grubs and wireworms
which destroyed several million dol
lars worth of grains and vegetables
during the past year. The damage
from these pests is large every sea-
son, but during 1916 the damage was
away above normal on account of the
wet and changeable weather.
1t will be the effort of Zoologist J.
G. Sanders and his trained assistants
to determine the areas in the State
where the various broods of the white
grub occur, and to determine the year
of emergence of the adults so that
control measures may be adopted in
the several infested sections. The
May beetle or June beetle is the par
ent of the common white grub which
requires three years for maturing in
the ground, while it feeds on and de-
stroys the roots of bluegrass timothy,
grains, strawberries, potatoes and
other crops.
The investigation work will be car
ried on at such points throughout the
State as seem advisable from records
of injury to crops. secured through
correspondence received at the De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t will be
necessary to make considerable COL
lections of the adult beetles to deter
mine the range of the twenty-five or
thirty species which occur in this
State. Nothing has been done in the
past to determine the extent or range
of these destructive pests.
The Department of Agriculture will
cooperate with the United States Bu-
reau of Entomology, which is carrying
on similar work in some other States,
and the farmers help will be enlisted
in caring for light traps during the
flying season of the beetles for about
six weeks in May and June.
