On the Screen
Her Secret, Made by Vita
graph, Tells an Enter
tanning Story

The story in "Her Secret" is unusu-
a and the picture, which was shown oy
Vitagraph yesterday, is vastly enter
tanning. Alice Joyce and Henry Morey
are seen in the leading roles.
Miss joyce is Clara Weston, daugh-
ter of a minister in a Western village,
to whom the secretaryship IN a pnllan-
thropic society in New York IS offered.
On her way to the metropolis she IS
compelled to spend the night at place
called "The Nugget Cafe"
A party Of civil engineers has come
in from an extended stay in the noun
tains. and one never would have recog-
nized Harry Morey in the bearded, un.
kempt stranger VINO drank and danced
with Dazy, queen of the music hall
Girls. When Dazy wished to get rid OF
Rex Fenton she told him that she
would meet him later in No. II. IL
bappens that Clara was sleeping IN
Room y, and Fenton is so befuddled
with drink that he never knows the
difference.
After working several months in
New York Clara is compelled to resign
and retire to a mountain village, where
her secret is protected by DR.. Howard,
to whom she has told the story.
Later, Clara meets Rex, who has
gone to New York and who is so inn
proved in looks and manners that she
does not recognize him. She marries
him without revealing her secret, and
when her child is four years old she in
duces her husband to adopt the child.
Many complications arise, but every
thing straghtens itself out, and all
is explained and forgiven.

SPRING HYMN OF HATE

Ouip and lyrit, they matter not
A whceze for a wheeze, a mot for mot,
We love them not and we hate them not.
We have but one and only hate;
We love as one and we hate as one.
We have one foe aud one alone.
Come. let us curse our venomous best
The common foe that VIC all detest;
An oath OF iron no breeze can shake,
An oath for rich and poor to take.
We never will forego our hate,
Hate OF the heart and hate of the head.
Hate awaking and hate in bed,
We love as one and we hate as one,
We have one hate and one alone

LIBEL SUIT
SUSTAINED
Judge Heen UphoIds Demurrer
of Advertiser in Governors
Suit for Libel on Ground Ar
ticIe Was Merely Criticism

AN the ground that the writing
complained of does not import de-
~ famation on its face; that it ap.
pears to be a criticism Of a speech
concerning a matter of public inter.
est made by a public official, and
that there is nothing charging that
the criticism insinuates dishonorable
motives On the part of the defendant,
Circuit Judge William H: Heen today
sustained the demurrer of Roderick
o. Matheson, editor of the Advertiser,
to sworn information charging him
with criminal libel.
Judge Heen's ruling on the demur-
rer is virtually a dismissal of the
case, although he has granted the
city and county attorneys office 10
days in which to file an amended IN
formation or take other steps which
it may deem necessary. What further
action is contemplated by the city
attorneys office could not be ascer.
tanned today, as A. NJ. Brown is on
another island.
Editor Matheson was arrested on
information sworn to by City Attor-
ney Arthur M. Brown, attached to
which was an affidavit by Detective
Harry T. Lake, charging him with
criminal libel The basis of the in
formation was an editorial published
in The Advertiser under the heading
Under What Flag?", which was a
criticism of an address made by Gov
ernor L. E. Pinkham before a number
of school children in the palace
grounds, the gathering having been
arranged to interest the children in
contributing to war relief.
A demurrer was filed by Editor
Matheson, the principal contention in
the document being that the editorial
was merely criticism Of the utter
ances of a public official in public
office.
"In the first place, I contend that
the article was not libelous," said
Attorney Lorrin Andrews, counsel for
Editor Matheson, today. at was sim
ply q criticism of public official and
his public utterances, which criticism
is justified under the law. In my
opinion the heading Under What
Flag? simply asked the question,
What is the man talking about?"
