Nazimova at Columbia


 Nazimova at her greatest, that is Madame Peacoc$" When this most recent and decidedly most brilliant of the Russian actress pictures was shown on the first of three day engagement at Mauk's Columbia the ater yesterday, she came first as a brilliant stage celebrity, Jane Goring, a woman of fascinating, gorgeous personality. Then suddenly there ap- peared young girl, eager and as bring and ingenious; and had it not been for the explanatory sub-ti doubt would have remained in the minds of those who witnessed the shadow performance.
 Nazimova herself adapted this spectacle to the screen from Rita Weiman'S soul searching drama of the stage. It is so tremendous a play that only Nazimova could hope to enact it's principal roles and unfolds an extraordinary story of a celebrity and girl who worshipped her .-nd a man who worshipped both.
 Of the supporting cast, George Pro bert proved especially plea sing; 6 manly and likeable leading man; and credit, too, belongs to John Stepp ling as the theatrical manager; to William Orlamond, Rex Cherryman Albert Cody. Gertrude Claire and Mrs Woodthorpe.
 Other numbers on the program for today and Saturday include Ford Educational Weekly and the second release of the new Hall Room boys comedy.

Houdini at the Hip

Harry Houdini, greatest vaudeville artist of his time. The one man who plays the big time year after year. The one man who has been summoned to play before every crowned head of Europe and some that have been uncrowned. is to be at the Hip today and tomorrow in his first picture for the Paramount program.
 It is called the Grim Game and is the most sensational picture ever made by Paramount In the telling of this story an aerop1ane fight was written in and the director induced two United States flyers to take part in the battle in the clouds. The U. $. men were stationed at Mineola, l.. l., and sneaked out their machines against orders to win a little easy money making the fight for Houdini.
 The unexpected happened. The two machines crashed in mid air and one of the pilots was killed. Three oth- CT machines with camera men aboard shot down after the falling planes taking pictures of them as they tum- bled over and over Tn the deatf spill.

CALEXICO, Oct. 2S.-''If l cannot
furnish the ranchers with irrigation
water at SO cents foot within six
months | don't want the job as irri-
cation district manager" said j. E.
Peck to T. D. Mccall recently.
Mccall, secretary of the Taxpayers
Association. had just succeeded in
getting Peck to accept the position
if it is rendered him when Peck made
the statement. At so cents, water for
irrigation purposes would become
cheap enough for all crops and that is
what Mccall has in mind.
Mccall also has a proposal which
he expects to outline later whereby
the county supervisors can handle the
irrigation district matters as we'll as
their county duties, thereby reducing

BORDER LINE
Hunting With ShOtguns or
Rifles Stopped and All Arms
Permits Revoked: Munitions
Said to Be Pouring in

CALEXICO, Oct. 2S.-The border
patrol on both sides of the line
abruptly tightened up yesterday in
an effort to halt the smuggling of
arms and ammunition from the Unit
ed States into Mexico for use in a
new revolution said to be Matching
across the border.
General Rordiguez, in command of
the troops in Baja California, this
morning declared emphatically that
no attempts had been made to
bring munitions into Lower Califor-
MIA at or near MeXicali AS a pre-
cautionary measure all permits to
hunt in the territory either with rifle
'or shotgun have been revoked, and a
close watch is being maintained over
a stretch of many miles along the
border. fss
General Rodriguez said that no Sc
cret is being made of the fact that
lots of rifles and considerable am
munition has been smuggled across
the line at Tecate and Tijuana, and
it is known to the Mexican intelligence
gence department that other ship
ments are being secreted in the noun
tains waiting for favorable oppor-
tunity to get them over the line. An
American rancher, it is said, is sus-
pected of helping to transport the
contraband munitions, and he is under
surveillance. Mexican military Off
cials and American customs and i'm
migration men have noted the pres
ence in Calexico within the past four
or five days of many former men,
bers of Ex-Governor Cantu's official,
civil and military forces, and they
say that these men are not restricted
in crossing and re-crossing the line
here.
General Rodriguez is in constant
communion by wireless telegraph
with Mexico City, and he says that
all the information he has discredits

the way of a new revolution in Mex

INTERESTS
WANT RIVER
IN OLD BED
Demand S5,OOO,O00 Engin-
eering Program Be Paid
for by Imperial Irrigation
District; Board to Protect
Americans

Mexican land owners yesterday de
manded that Imperial Irrigation
district begin five million dollar
program to put the Colorado river
back in its old channel, as the only
consideration under which consent
would be given to the building of the
Pescadero cut, with an absolute bann
on any dam which would turn the
river southwark into the low lands
of the delta country.
The demand was made at a confer
ence of the entire district board
with H. H. Clark and Chester ALI
son, representing Harry Chandler
and other owners of lands in Lower
California. The proposal was made
as counter to the districts plan to
change the river channel, by build
ing a cut from the Bee to the Pes
cadero, the raising of ievec along
the north bank of the Bee and a
dam stopping flow entirely 10 the
westward.
Messrs, Clark and Allison claimed
that the district project would dam
age some of the best farm lands Of
Lower California. and stated tia.
they would consent to no work on
the river which would not result in
making it easier and cheaper for the
Mexican land owners to reclaim their
at present worthless lands. Under
the conditions, the district boadr an
nounced no more work toward liver
correction would be performed until
tie Chandler interests give in writ
a formal waiver of all damage claims
The board was a unit for remov-
ing the big dredge at Pescadero to
the Volcano Lake .levee and the rails
ing of that protective work SO high
that Imperial valley will be safe dur
GIN the next few years. There was
some talk of having the Ockerson
end Saiz raised, but nothing will he
oone at the expense of the American
farmers unless the Pescadero cut
can be built with the consent or
Harry Chandler.
Following the conference, Presi-
dent Nickerson and Messrs. Clark
and Allison started for Los Angeles
to put the issue squarely before Mr.
Chandler. AS the matter stands
either the Pescadero cut will be built
as planned by eneral Manager Cron-
holm or the district funds will be
used solely to strengthen the Volca-
no Lake levee.

LAWYERS IN

"Damnable Practice, ' "Un-
fair Advantage" "Uneth-
ical Conduct and a Short
and Ugly Word Passed in
Fray

That William Shakespeare some
one or two hundred years ago wrote
the Comedy Of Errors" is generally
an accepted fact, and it is further ac-
credited to the same illustrious writ
er that he (William) said that There
is nothing new undcr the sun" That
Mr.. Shakespeare knew what he was
talking about was amply proved in
thls mornings session of Department
NO. l of the Superior Court before
Judge Cole, when a tilt between two
lawyers of such serious nature
caused other attorneys not otherwise
interested IN the case to address the
Court as friends and officers of the
Court, one attorney even suggesting
that the entire matter be referred to
the County Bar Association for final
settlement
The argument arose over the ac
ton of Attorney John Berry, when he
filed a complaint in the Superior
Court for client to which Attorney
Harry Horton in behalf of his client
the defendantfi, filed a demurrer. The
said demurrer. however, is REQUIRED
to be served on the opposite attor-
ney and also to be filed in court. Ac-
cordlng to Attorney Horton. he left
the original and copy Of the demur-
rer under the door of Attorney Be.ry's
office, thinking that Berry would
acknowledge service on the original
and return the same to him to be
filed.
This, according to Berry, was not
sufficient under the code, and in place
or acknowledging service on the or
iglnal and returning same to Horton.
he ignored the service of the papers
and took default judgment, thea
proceeding to collect moneys due un-
der the default judgment.
In the meantime Attorney Horton
had been called to Los Angeles, and
on his return today he moved the
Court to set aside the default judg-
ment and asked that the execution be
recalled. Berry opposed the motion
and the argument was on.
Such Illuminating phrases as "dam-
nable practice" 'unethical conduct" i"
unfair advantage" and not to men
ton the short and ugly word, were
only few of the descriptive terms
that We're hurled by the opposing law
yers.
1t was at this joint that other mem
bers of the bar addressed Judge Cole
on the subject; those speaking were
Attorney John Ross, Joseph Seymour,
Jim Allen and Charlie Brown.
Judge Cole said that he hoped this
experience and the prominence the
facts had received by members of the
bar who were present would result
in more care in the service of papers
and less loose practice. The default
Judgment was set aside.
