Brown of Harvard

The production showing at the Co., lumbia today and tomorrow. the story of Brown of Harvard" is familiar to almost everyone, as it has appeared in both book and dramatic form. It is a story which lends itself to a screen version, and the picture is well produced.
 Tom Moore's interpretation of the role of Tom Brown fits in perfectly with ones idea of Tom, and Hazel Daly makes a very appealing "one and onliest" girl. The others of the cast are well selected for their respective roles
 The college atmosphere is well car ried throughout and the scenes of the boat races are splendid. No one can help being thrilled during the race and catching the excitement as depicted by the rooters for Harvard and Tom Brown The many com plications which involve Tom, and which it seems almost impossible for him to untangle, keep the interest at top pitch throughout
 In addition to Brown of Harvard" the management of the Columbia an nOunce an added attraction for Sat urday only, the inimitable Charlie Chaplin, in "A Night Out" with d special matinee for children Saturday afternoon.
 The production of Intolerance" will play a return engagement at the Co., lumbia shortly.

lending hastily built barricades in the streets.
 The actor who makes real these historic scenes and breathes life into the exalted yet pathetic character of Jean Valjean, is William Farnum Classic roles through a lifetime of stage experience have prepared him for the interpretation of this hero of Victor Hugo. Jean Naljean is a man who touches the heights and depths of life. Through an unjust sentence for trivial offense he decends to the level society places on him and then, by the faith of a man who befriends him, rises and touches the heights of human character.
 Real soldiers from the Fist New York National guard were used, dressed in the costume of the French guard and S50,000 was spent in con- structing an exact duplicate of that part of Paris in which the scenes were laid.
 The film by the careful reflection of the architecture of the time and it's adherance to the historic phases of the novel has much educational value and as a vivid portrayal of human character it cannot be equaled.
 The show will commence at the Empress Sunday and continue through Wednesday.

BLACKLIST LAW
 KNOCKED OUT IN
 SUPERIOR COURT
Judge Shute Holds That
 Radical Act of Legisla- tion Is Unconstitutional;
 Appeal Is Being Planned

The famous black list law in Arizona has been declared uncon- stitutonal.
 The death blow to one of the most radical bits of legislation ever enacted in this state was delivered at Globe yesterday by Judge George Walter Shute of the superior court Of Gna county. On the ground that the black list law upon which the information was based was unconstitutional. Judge Shute sustained a demurrer in the case of the State vs. J. J. keegan Wiley r.. Jones, attorney general, an- Bounced last night that the case would be appealed.
 The "black list law which is full brother to the eighty per cent" law, was passed by the first state legis- lature when that body was in control of a radical element The eighty per cent law was passed at the same session.
 Although freely predicted that the 'black list law would not stand the test of the courts. it has never been brought forward for determination until yesterday. The eighty per cent law was declared unconstitu- tional some time ago bv the United States supreme court

I FA|NOUS MINING CASE SENT BACK
 TO TRIAL COURT
Cunningham-Costello Suit Decided in Part by State
 Supreme Court but Part Must Be Tried Again

Romance and tragedy are inter- mingled in the history of the famous Cunningham Costello mining suit which has been in the courts for many years and which appeared again yes terday in the supreme court when that high tribunal once more passed judgment on it and again sent it 10 the lower court for further adjudica- ton.
 Both parties having appealed from the previous decision of the supreme court, the judgment rendered yesteI- day was a complicated one. Both Cunningham and Costello are dead and the action is between the widow of Costello and the daughters of Gun ningham. The former was represent ed by Joseph Scott and Ben Goodrich of Los Angeles, J. $. Casey of Tyrone, New Mexico, and Ellinwnnd and Ross of Bisbee. The latter was by Will liam B. Cleary and Charles R. Nor loot of Bisbee and at one time by the late Eugene $. Ives
 The case is based upon an account ing which the heirs of Cunningham demanded from Mrs. Costello involv- ing the sale by Costello in 1899 to the Calumet and Arizona Mining company Of the Irish Mag group of mines and other rich properties at Bisbee now part of the C. and A.
 A half interest was claimed in sev- enteen mines which Costello sold for nearly one million dollars. Costello had admitted half ownership by
 Cunningham in six of the mines, but
 denied 1t as to the other eleven. The supreme court sustained the
 verdict of the superior court of Co.,
 chise county that Cunningham was ! half owner of six of these mines sold
 in 1899, though the title was in Cos tello at the time and that releases signed by Cunningham's widow were l ineffective in covering the rights of
 the daughters. The suit in no way ef- fleets the present title of the mines which was settled after 10 years of litigation which followed the flight of the original owner, James Daley. after the murder of deputy sheriff. The opinion concludes:
 The cause is remanded to the lower court for the trial of the con- trOverted questions with regard to | the Leo, Roy and Supplement mines l only as a partial new trial in such respect. Consequently. the case is remanded with instructions that the lower court grant to the plaintiffs a trial of the questions and matters per
 taining to the three mines above, and when the result of said partial new
 trial is finally reached and a final ac-
 counting of the whole matter involved
 is thereby determined, to enter a i judgment in accordance with the truth
 of the whole account as the case is
 so finally determined"

It concerns the misfortunes that befell an innocent little Indian maid who placed too much reliance upon the empty promises of an unprincipled white man. Of course in the end Wetona learns the value of true love while villany is rewarded with it's just deserts.
