DECISIONS IN FOUR CASES HANDED DOWN .BY SUPREME COURT

Opinions by the supreme court were handed down yesterday in four cases as follows:
 c. F. Garner, appellant, against the Arizona Egyptian Cotton company, appellee, Maricopa county. The ap- pellant and plaintiff brought suit against the appellee for $274.70, the value of certain cotton which had been purchased by the appellee from Benjamin Anderson, the plaintiff claiming an interest in the cotton as mortgage from Anderson.
 The chattel mortgage was not ad- mitted as evidence in the trial on the ground that it was not set out in the mortgage where the money which the
 mortgage secured was to be paid. This ruling of the court was assigned
 as error. But inasmuch as the mort gage describes the residence of the
 mortgagor and the mortgagee and Maricopa county as the place where the cotton was raised, the court holds that to be sufficient setting out of the place where payment is to be
 made. The lower court is therefore reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial. Attorneys. for appellant
 Cox and Moore of Phoenix and Arm strong, Lewis and Kramer for ap- pe1lee
 Verde Water and Power company, appellant, against the Salt River Val ley Water Users association, Para disc Verde Water Users association and Paradise Verde Irrigation dis trict, appellees.

MAKE T AMHL|ON' FOR LOCAL COLLEGE

The time has come to enable south ern educational institutions of higher learning keep pace with those of other sections of the country, according to statements made by members of the central committee which has charge or the movement to Make It a Million for Birmingham Southern College"
 They point to the fact that during 1920 donations and legacies for north ern institutions reached the total of slOO,oOO,000 while only small sums were added to the endowment and equipment of southern colleges They declare that the south no longer has an excuse for enduring such a position of educational inferiority, dependence and limitation.
 Due to the lack of properly equipped and endowed institutions, thousands or southern young men and women are pelng educated in other sections of the country with the consequent drain upon our resources" said Frank E. Spain, a member of the central committee. "The millions which we pour out annually to the support of educational institu- tlons in the other sections of the coun- try would pay interest on enough money to properly equip and endow nu- merous universities in the south which could meet every requirement. supplied at present by the more affluent insti- tutions of the east

impression of a man at peace after five days of intensive work with is- sues and responsibilities of immense significance to France and Germany and Europe generally. He returns prepared to defend the agreement as q Just settlement, one that can be de- tended viewed from the point of French interests, and yet be adjusted to the resources of Germany. Although Premier Briand does not go so far as to say that he believes Germany will accept the terms, he hopes she will do so.
 T have no desire to sec France spend lOO,OO0,000 francs monthly on the oc- cupation of the Ruhr," he said, but nothing can prevent that now except German yes without any ifs pros vided,' that's 'buts,' or 'whereases.'
 The premier says that in taking a percentage of the values of exports a true solution has been found. Ut is rot tax on exports" he said, "but q measure of paying power, a barometer of trade"
 He explained that no tax was placed on exports as such. The German gov ernment would be required to take the total value of the exports and pay the equivalent of 26 per cent into the repa- ratfons fund, but the percentage could be paid out of any kind of taxation the German government should elect-out of the internal revenues, for example.
 M. Briand believed that the financial world would accept the bonding scheme and he was particularly Interested in American opinion on this subject. He considered that the bonds could be used in paying international trade balances; Americans owing money to any Euro pean country could pay in these bonds, which would have a gold standard and In addition would be bearing interest at per cent with 1 per cent amorti2a- tion.
 Acceptance and free use of the bonds, he pointed out, would have an ex- tremely healthy influence on exchange and tend to restore economic solidity among all the commercial nations.
 The premier spoke of the invitation sent by the supreme council to the American government for the appoint ment of representatives in the su- rreme council, the ambassadors coun- cil and the reparations commission, adding that he hoped sincerely the so- lution would be accepted.

GRIFFITH'S IDOL DANGER" AT THE RTAT,TO

Clarine Seymour, womanly and beau tiful, as the strange girl of a tropical island, and Richard Bartholmess, manly and strong both in body and mind as the beachcomber in "The Idol Dancer" is the Rialto attraction. This picture is one that has attracted widespread interest and among the very best of the D. w. Griffith productions.
 It is the picture in which both Clar- inc Seymour and Bartholmess came to the very top in screen fame. Miss Seymour has beauty, warm and lux uriant as of the tropics and is ideal as the island girl of mixed ancestry In the girl. says a title, is the vivacity Of France, the inscrutability of Java and the langour of Samoa. Bartholmess seems indeed the man of many adven- lures and lost illusions who drifts 10 the isle where she lives,
 The Idol Dancer" Is really taken in the tropics, special trip being made by the Griffith company for the pur- pose, and abounds in the rich settings typically tropical.

ADJUSTMENTS
VARIETY KEYNOTE E OF BILL AT LOEW'S
By EsTELLE BETHEA HALE

With each act widely different in ycharacter, the bill at Loews Bijou the last half of the week presents many features of attraction. Two excellent sketches are put on as acts, taking high rank on the programme.
 Peters and Le Buff, in Bumps. Bounces. Thrills and Falls" open the bill with an unusual acrobatic act Many new novelties are introduced by this team. Tie Gordon Duo won the plaudits of the audience in a number of songs which abounded in harmony. The woman possesses a pleasing voice.
 Straight is one of the cleverest "crook' sketches seen in some time. Although the story is old, the act is made excellent by admirable acting of two women and man whose names do not appear.
 Childhood days are waited back by "A Breeze from Mark Twain" a skit by Evans, Nero and Evans. The trio appear as Huck Finn, Billy McGinn and Tom Sawyer. The act in clever singing comedy feature.
 Downing and the Bunin sisters please in snappy batter, songs and a collection of not too ancient jokes. The girls show ability to dance well.
 Conway Tearle, in the film, "The Road to Ambition" makes quite an impression. The picture is certainly good. This concludes the performance

WILL SAIL SHORTLY

New York. May 1.-Two American pas senser liners, the Callao for South America, and the Potomac for Bremen and Danzig, the latter local storm cen- ter in the nationwide strike of marine workers, were loaded today with passen- gers and cargo, and were moved from their docks to an anchorage in the lower harbor. Both ships, owners said, are fully manned by replacement crews, and will sail within 24 hours. Union leaders assert they are short of men. Other ships made ready for sailing today, coming to local officials of the United States ship ping board, are the Hog Island, Walter D. Munson, Lake Beacon, Esperanza, Iowan and the K. I. Luckenbach. Union officials declare none of these vessels are fully manned, and that non-union men, particularly licensed engineers were not available to replace those who have walked out. Clearances recorded today at the United States customs house showed the names of eight American ships destined for American coast, Mex lean and Cuban ports. These are usually filed 12 to 2i hours before sailing.
 A statement issued at the office of the shipping board asserted that it's operating activities here have not been materially hampered by the strike, and that a sub- stantial number of licensed officers and men have rendered their services to man the ships when they are ready to sail.
 At union headquarters officials ex- pressed themselves as well satisfied with the days developments.

Taken as a whole, the Lyric bill for the last half is of very good vaudeville quality. Comedy is the order of the day, with some good songs and fasci- hating dancing act entire.
 A real comedian is a boast the show can make. She comes on in the Sun shine Girl act in most surprising manner and makes them laugh from then on. She has & way of almost letting loose, but not quite, that makes her comedy pleasingly well poised. The Sunshine girls give their act in two scenes half and whole stage. They Hay the violin, piano and sing It is an all around good act, getting the longest encore given Thursday.
 Are bubbles, soap bubbles, for chiI- dren only? Griff's excellent soap bub- ble act answers that question finally with no He takes the simple art of soap bubble blowing and entertains his audience through q long act, that was too short at that. He also bubbles hu- nor of the witty sarcastic kind
 Pete Gurley's act is much on the hokum order. There are some really legitimate laughs, but the rough stuff didn't go over. A beautiful girl in the first turn with man playing at the piano and singing makes & fine open ing number. The closing act is a purely dancing act with an airy girl dancer, pretty and graceful and an agile partner. The settings here are fine. A good hand
