M 'ARTHURS ARE
 HELD SHAMELESS

McArthur Brothers, owners of the Packard car that figured in an acci- dent Of year ago. were not held liable Tn the action for damages brought by the relatives of Dewey Qualls, Josie Attaway and May Tingle, the three young people hurt when the buggy in which they were driving and the ma chine collided on North Central avenue.
 Made a party to the suit as owners Of the car, the fight for $S,40O was made against McArthurs. At no time during the deliberations did the jury hold them responsible and early re- turned their verdict against A. R. Dearborn, driver of the car, and his companions on the joy ride, J. E. Cur ley, R. E. McDonald c. R. Standage. c. s. Mines and E. B. Hollinger who were called the "hookey defendants" by counsel for the plaintiff. Judgment Tor Qualls was given in the sum of S9OO; the Attaway girl, $2OO, and May Tingle, S350.
 bltterly attacking McArthur Broth CTS, A. $. Hawkins devoted scant time Tn his argument to the jury on the merits of the case. He denounced them for their treatment of Dearborn ana the way in which they camou- 1laged, as he termed the manner in which Dearborn was discharged.
 Ii. M. Fennemore for the defense recalled. to the jury that a rule of the company for which Dearborn was a salesman, was that every car be be checked in at 6: 30 o'clock. He in sisted that Dearborn violated the order When he used the Packard for his own pleasure and since it was not within the scope of his employment McArthur Brothers were not liable. He held that III siVlng Dearborn another chance it simply demonstrated the type of men the McArthurs were and that the at- tack by Hawkins was entirely out of place.
 Dearborn, who is in the aviation corps somewhere in the United States. was not represented by counsel nor ula any of the other defendants have counsel. Only one was present in tbe court and that was young Standage who was called as a witness.

"The Birth of a Nation"

As the world advances, should it happen in his time and while he still has his wonderful grasp, perhaps D. w. Griffith may find a subject to produce that will mean indefinitely more to all the people, that will be bigger and more elaborate and entail inconceiv- ably more expense and difficulty, but, until such time comes, if it ever does, his Birth of a Nation spectacle, cov- ering as it does, the whole rupture be- tween the two distinct factions of a great country and what came out of it, to a glorious conclusion-will remain the highwater mark.
 It shows what can be done, it is true, and most people believe that what has been done can be done, yet Shakes peare, hundreds of years ago, proved what it was possible to do with the English language-and still he has not been surpassed or even approached to this day and likely never will be.
 In this glorious spectacle, one is ac- tually witnessing in a single sitting the condensed action of a lifetime in the annals of our nation.
 The Birth of Nation" comes on a return visit to the Columbia for a four day engagement. starting with Sunday matinee at o'clock.

J. Werren kerriean at Lamara


 The old adage, lucky at cards, un- lucky at love"-does not apply in the life of Jimmy Farrell, as portrayed by J. Warren Kerrigan in ''The Turn of a Card" his latest Paralta success, which is the attraction at the Lamara for to- day, remaining over tomorrow, for he is lucky at both. The story tells of a young eastern college graduate who seeks his fortune in the western oil fields. Success crowns his efforts in his chosen vocation, and he soon rnds himself the owner of a paying we'll. His lucky star still hovers over him when he reluctantly plays high stakes with a professional gambler against the turn of a card. He wins on the turn, but does not know until he goes east to look over the property against which he was gambling, the extent of the estate which has fallen into his hands. Nor does he figure on meeting "the girl" and is completely dumbfounded when he learns she is the daughter of the man from whom he has won the mag nificent mansion He is determined to win her, but equally determined to

NEW ATTACK |S MADE UPON BILL
 BY LAMAR CObb
Claim is Made That State Institutions Board Act Illegally Deprives the
 Governor of His Powers

Filing an amended complaint in which he cited additional grounds why the act creating a commission of state institutions should be adjudged uncon- stitutional, Thomas Nealon, attorney for Lamar Cobb in his action to con- Del the attorney general to bring quo warranto proceedings against the con- mission, has advanced the case another step.
 Charging that the governor is de- prived of the powers vested in him, the plaintiff makes this one of the new grounds for declaring the act creating the commission null and void.
 In the original complaint he asks that action be brought because of the fact that when the act was under con- sideration of the house of representa- tives the enacting clause was stricken that the purpose was not expressed in the title and that the bill was not read three times as required by law and the reading not dispensed with by a two- third vote.
 The additional grounds in the amended complaint are that the com mission attempts to alter the duties of officers and boards created by Article XI by adding to the duties of the con- additionally created officers and boards and by taking from them the privileges, powers and duties pre- scribed by law.
 Tt attempts to make an appropri- ation of the funds of the state in bill not general appropriation bill nor a separate appropriation and no such purpose is disclosed in the title.
 Tt is in contravention of and in con- flict with Article TX, part ? section IA of the constitution by abolishing the board of control"
 It is further charged that it attempts to amend and revise some 34 or more section of the code and that it deprives the governor state superintendent of public instruction, state examiner and regents of the university of Arizona of the powers vested in them by law.

 Something New in Pictures
 Now comes Texas Quinan. who bids fair to remove Big Bill Harts laurels as a western bad man. But fortunately for Hart, Texas Quinan is woman and does not play the western parts always.

 A daring hold-up takes place in the vicinity of La Mesa and one Of the victims. from Boston who makes such holler about his loss, later turns out to be a Wells Fargo detective on the trail of this very bandit The bAndit in the meantime, has won the heart of the gun woman and she, in turn, trusted him with her money, with which he purchases a saloon in. a different camp and offers her the dance hall con- cession.
 The climax of this interesting drama is surprising and is best told by the Triangle, producers of this picture.

! George E. Knepper, for many year,
president of the Lewiston Norma

drick Gazette during the absence Of
his son, Ralph B. Knepper, who has
been on wedding tour for severa
weeks, has written an article for the

in which he tells of the improvements
made in Moscow in the past Is years.
His very able article follows:

the now flourishing city had little to
boast of outside the state school.
"The mud in Moscow in the early
day was fright. At certain seasons
of the year the bottom dropped out
of all the streets in the town and this
was especially true of Main street.
We well remember seeing an empty
wagon stuck in the mud and aban-
doned quite close to the Hotel Mos

Berlin government made a subma
rine raid along the American Atlanti
coast and in doing so never stoppe'
to think that such action might reac
upon the German nation.
AS a result of these piratical .n
! deavors Peru, which broke off diplo
matte relations with Germany nine
months ago, now has taken further
action by Selling six German vessels
at Callao.
Three of the ships are large pas
senger steamers and just the kind
that the entente allies badly need for
transporting troops from this side of
the Atlantic to Europe.
It is quite expected in Washington
that as a result of this submarine
campaign Chill will follow the ex-
ample of Peru and seize seventy-five
fine German ships informed in the
harbors of that country.
Nothing stirs the average Germans
ire more than seeing the fine ships
of his country being turned to useful
purpose by the entente allies.
The vessels taken over by Peru are
of immensely more value to the allies
than the few small ships were that
the kaiser's submarine sank, and if
in addition to these steamers the Ger
man boats informed in Gillian ports
are turned over to the United States,
the bargain will be sorry one in
deed for Germany.

blind wrath recoiling upon it.

COUNTY ASSESSOR
NOT RESPONSIBLE
ENFORCEMENT OF AUTOMOBILE
LICENSE LAWS ARE NOT
PART OF HIS DUTIES

There has been muh dispute as to
whose duty it is to enforce the auto
mobile laws and to see that all cars
are provided with licenses. The
county assessor issues the licenses
and it is claimed by some that it is
his duty to enforce the automobile
laws. Mr.. Gemmill, county assessor,
claims this is not true and points to
the statutes and has asked the secre-
tary of state for an opinion, and finds
that both the state laws and the Sec
retary of state hold that it is not the
assessors duty to enforce the laws.
Section lag, of the 1917 session
laws of Idaho, says: "It shall be the
duty Of the sheriff, deputy sheriffs,
constables, policemen, game wardens
and deputy game wardens within the
state of Idaho to enforce the provi-
sions Of this act (the automobile
laws) and to make arrests for the vio-
lation thereof"
In letter to Mr.. Gemmill, asking
for information on this mooted ques-
ton, w. 7. Dougherty, secretary of
state, makes it very plain that it is
the duty Of the peace officers and not
the assessor to enforce the laws. Sec
rotary of State Dougherty's letter
follows:
"E. J. Gemmill, Assessor,
Moscow, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
l am quoting below copy of opinion
rendered by the assistant attorney
general, which l think may be of in
terest to you, in view of the fact that
there have been reported many VIC
lations of the law providing for the
display of two automobile plates on
motor vehicles:
In response to your communication
of the 9Th, inst, we beg to advise
you that the operation of an automo-
bile within the state of Idaho which
does not have number plate dis
played on both the front and rear of
The car is clear violation of the law.
Offenders should be arrested by the
ocal peace officers, the same as for
he violation Of any other provision

provision is no more the duty of the
assessor than that of any other citi-

Ipon any peace officer to make an

pinion as much publicity as possible
