1 the afternoon session and John w Altman of Birmingham concluded the arguments by counsel on the plaintiff s side.
 CLEAR AND FORCEFUL CHARGE Judge o. A. Steele then began his clear and forceful ,gharge to the jury at the conclusion of which the jurors retired
 At the opening of the morning ses- sion MT. Sloan addressed the jury for Huddleston: Now, gentlemen of the jury" he said, q will admit to you that when this case {. first began ] thought it was going to be a short case.
 Tt seems to me that if this was faii and reasonable criticism, why has so much time been taken up by techni- calities about getting these cartoons fairly before this jury? If they want to keep any of these cartoons from you there is a reason for it. They made these cartoons so hideous that they were actually afraid some body wouldn't recognize them, and they put Huddlesten's name on them; like the little boy who drew a picture of mule on his slate and for fear some body wouldn't recognize it wrote be- low it, This is mule
 'Of course everybody has a right to criticize public officials fairly. But these cartoons were going too far. Why these speeches upon which the car toons were based were made a year or year and a half before the car toons began. If that is true this news paper was really indorsing those

Jefferson county who were so soon to go overseas" At this point he quoted extracts from Huddleston's speech of September 9 and then from later speech where Huddleston lauded the cause for which America was fighting
 There's your hot and cold" said the speaker. But I think Huddleston was sincere in the vote he cast, and think he was patriotic. He was patriotic. but think he had the poorest judgment of any man ever heard of.
 That was time when we needed everybody. There is time when the whole pack must be together with no one straying off on rabbit trails
 Suppose everything had gone accord ing to Huddlestons plans. There would have been nothing but the neer-do-wells in~Europe. There would have been no protection against spies or destruction

THE IRON GRASS

You must take the effect of these cartoons without Mir. Millers explana- ton. He explains it because it needs explanation. Why can't they let you simply look al these cartoons and get your own impression? Look at that iron cross there on Huddleston's breast. Don't that make him appear as a sympathizer with the Hun? How would you feel if somebody drew your pie ture in time of war with an iron cross on your breast?
 George got a larger vote than he ever got before. I interpret this vote as a resentment against these vicious and unfair cartoons. The damage to Huddleston growing out of these pie lures will last throughout his lifetime. These pictures will humiliate him until his dying day. Little children will be afraid of him because they have formed their opinion of hhn from these hideous pictures.
 God give us men who will stand up to the last ditch and vote No when their conyictions prompt it. No man should be unjusty criticized for fight ing for his convictions. We may not agree with him in every particular, but there is a greater thing in the world than following the majority"

 James B. Sloan of oneonta was the first speaker this morning in behalf of Congressman Huddleston and was followed by P. A Nash of Oneonta for The Age-Herald. T. B. Russell of Oneenta next spoke for Huddleston and was followed by Judge J. F. Kelton of Oneonta for The Age-Herald.

Mir Morrow began speaking at the opening of the afternoon session. MT. Russell has given you the ambrosia and sillabub and frills of this case" he said, but what we want is to get. down
 to the cornbread apd pot liquor of it." | He began by telling some stories.
 And if you expect tU- hear me abuse nGeorge Huddleston," he continued, you ! are going to be disappointed. The right of people to criticise their off
 cials is as old as our government. It is the reason,o our forefathers left Eng
 land, where newspaper could not be run without the king as editor and where at one time man even had to read the Bible in secret.
 "Of course George would like to con- fine this suit to himself and not to 1 Congressman Huddleston. You have | been through a lot of political cam paigns. Did you ever before hear of a
 man being sued for something said about a candidate during his racer? He here told a story about the father l who put dollar. bottle of liquor and a Bible on the table to see which his l son would choose. and when the son ! took all three threw up his hands and
 said: My God, he's going to be pol itician.'

At the Black Hawk.

Among the motion picture stars
of the present day, Pauline Fred
erick is famed for her beauty and
talent. and she has probably one OF
the largest motion picture follow
ings in the country. She is a dram
attic actress with accomplishments of
the highest order, which she amply
demonstrated in her recent Para
mount pictures, notably LA Tosca,"
in which she exhibited artistic quail
tiles of supreme merit.
Miss Frederick will be seen at the
Black Hawk theatre tomorrow in
her new phoplay, Resurrection" a
perturbation of Count Leo Toll
stoy's famous novel. In this picture
Miss Frederick is seen as a half
gypsy Russian girl, who. after her
betrayal by dissolute prince and
favorite of the car, becomes a social
outcast and lives the degraded life
of a Magdalen. She is convicted of a
crime of which she is innocent, and
banished to Siberia. The man who is
responsible for the wreck of her life
is seized with remorse and offers to
marry her, but recognizing the in
equality of their social positions,
she refuses this offer, because of
her love for simple peasant
whose friendliness and protection
on their dreadful march across the
Siberian wastes had won her love.

At the Majestic.

'The Home Breaker" which
comes to the Majestic on Sunday
and Monday with no less a star
ing role, is going to prove TO be
the hit of the year among Rock
Island photoIlaygoers. Advance
announcements of what the pic
ture proved to be in the large
cities show that The Home
Breaker" is absolutely il a class
by itself when it comes o making
people sit up and take notice"
Miss Dalton has such a compelling
role that one big eastern critic
after watching her, said that she
was now entitled to the front rank
among the dramatic stars. NO
one" he said, land I mean just
that, has ever done any better
work than Miss Dalton has shown
in this picture 1t is truly a won
derful bit of acting and the story
is proportionately good. 1t lends
itself to good acting and you may
be sure that Miss Dalton takes full
advantage of every chance she is
given to be great"
The production is done on an
expensive and adequate scale and
the supporting cast is one of which
any producer might well feel
proud. 1t is certain that audi
ences at the Majestic theatre on
Sunday will more than like THE
Home Breaker" and like other
critics, Rock Island will demand
return engagement.
Tuesday brings Sessue Hayaka-
wa, the celebrated Japanese star,
to the Majestic in "Hearts in
Pawn" No one who admires the
acting of Mr.. Hayakawa can afford
to remain away from the theatre
when Hearts in Pawn" is being
shown.
There is simplicity and charm
in the work of the actors in THE
Romance of Happy Valley" which
will come to the Majestic on We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday. d.
W. Griffith has made a remarkable
picture with Bobby Harron and
Lillian Gish in the leading roles.
1t is a sweet, simple story and
such as any person enjoys seeing.
There is no was in it; it is just a
tale of quiet folk and it has its
stirring moments. The true Grit

his word this show will be worth
going long ways to see. King and
Wise present a comedy act OF
laughs and then some. This is one
of those acts that start any place
and finish up in your heart and
they are two people who are put on
earth to make fun for others. The
act has songs and talk and it runs
along in a foolish strain and makes
one wonder what it is all about as
there is not much sense to it but
the laughs are there and that is
what makes life worth while. Miss
Kane McDuff is a whistler and
mimic and her fame has spread all
over this country as an artist in her
particular line She presents an ex-
cellent appearance and aside from
the novelty of her offering there are
some features to the act that are
very new and startling for surprise
purposes. Walter d. Nealand and
company of four present a sketch in
which there are some great dram
attic moments and the title of the
act is 1.-The Fixer" and it has all
been fixed that they are to give the
big punch to the show. Mr.. Nealand
has a reputation second to none in
the producing line and this Offering
is said to be the best sketch of its
kind in that vein. Bob Finn is not a
fish but if one is fishing for infor-
nation it may be said that he is

At the Columbia.

"Resista" is the stage nom de
plume of a wee slip of girl,
weighing only SO pounds, whom the
strongest man cannot lift. Jeanne
Ward is her correct name and she
was born in Manchester, England,
20 years ago. She first became
aware of her ability to increase her
weight when quite young, and per-
formed in those days for fun of
it." AS she grew older she found
by practice she was gradually
coming into possession of abnormal
power Of resistance and in 1912
started her stage career in AUS
trelia. Since then she has mada a
huge success and has played i'll
most of the large cities of the
world. 81 have defied the giant
athletes of the world" said Resista
None of them have lifted me at my
maximum weight. Zybyszko tried
to lift me at his home at One Hun
dred and Forty-eighth street, New
York. Frank Gotch made tile at
tempt and failed, both failed to lift
me at my maximum weight The
famous Hackenschmidt came on
the stage during my performance
and he failed to life me above my
315 pound weight. Many others
have tried at various times but
none have succeeded"

some whale when it comes to TAX
ing his surf plunge in the ocean of
fun. Mr.. Finn is comedian who
goes in for the big laughs and there
never has been any dispute about
him getting them. Reynard and
Waldo are two men who in the garb
of monkeys ride bicycles and uni
cycles and give a thrill and a laugh
and then some funny falls and then
some thrills. Pear White will be
seen in the ninth episode of the
super screen serial the lightning

events of the world IN pictures. The

young lady is that she does not
understand thoroughly Just how
she resists the terrific lifting ca
pacity OF the strongest M an. She
has demonstrated her performance
before scientists and professors on
numerous occasions, anil none
have come forward with definite
explanation of her phenomenal
power. Science holds that the body
is heavier when relaxed. She,
however, makes it rigid. The Of
fering as presented by "Resista, +"
is most unusual one, as an en-
PERTAINING proposition it is unques-
tionably the most interesting IN the
annals of vaudeville. Any member
of the audience is at liberty to step
upon the stage and test his lift

the loop.
The Spencer Square Amusement
company. which operates the Spen-
Ger Square theatre, has secured a
lease on the building occupied by
the Colonial theatre and A. n. Rein
ert, the jeweler. effective on May'I.
The entire front OF the building
is to be remodeled. Mr.. Relnert
will remain. occupying the east
storeroom while the Colonial thea
ire will be continued as a picture
house. The theatre front will be
of glazed tile and the interior will
be redecorated and refurnished. A
$4,000 pipe organ Will be installed
and first-run pictures will be
shown. At the present time there
are only two exclusive first-run mo
ton picture houses in the city, the
Majestic and Spencer Square. The
ColOnials policy under the new
management will make il the third.
The theatre has a seating capacity
of about four hundred. 1t is point
cd out that there are plenty Of first
run pictures which are not shown
here because of the fact that there
are only two houses which get first
releases and their programs are ar
ranged so as to permit about fouE'
changes a week.

The Spencer Square Amusement
company secured a lease on the
building from Mrs. Margaret Kel-

who manages the American theatre

throughout and there is good
deal of comedy Mr.. Griffith has
done the unexpected again in
jumping far from the war for his
new picture and his lead will
probably be followed by many
other directors. In THE Ro-
nance of Happy Valley" he has a
group of homespun characters
and he tells his story in a straight
forward manner. The title sounds
mild, but there is much real &C
ton in the play
The picture is called slice of
life and the people in it are real
as they can be. There is no at
tempt at huge production or stu
pendous effects. All depends upon
the story and the acting. which is
quite enough for the best pur-
poses of the motion picture

At the AYoY. Moline.

Manager Shallberg of the Avoy
theatre, Moline, has been very for
tunate in securing another of those
famous Swedish pictures for his
patrons. The title of the picture Is
THE Girl from the Marsh Crou"
taken from Selma Lagerlofs most
famous book. The scenes of the en-
tire film are laid in Sweden and all
the actors and actresses are well
known Swedish entertainers. Selma
Lagerlof, the author of "The Girl
From the Marsh Croft" is consider
ed one of the worlds greatest ng-
ures in literature. She is the only
woman who has won the Noble
prize and the only woman ever
made a member of the exclusive
Swedish academy. The picture is a
story of soul-stirring emotion, sac
rificing love and righteous reward.
Preceding the drama a Swedish
comedy will be shown which was
taken in Stockholm and vicinity.
Scenes of winter sports and the Elf
karleo water falls complete the pro-
gram.
