GOING TO SOUTH AMERICA

Buenos Aires, Jan 2-The stream of
Italian immigration that once flowed
to the United States ard which was
blocked by the American immigration
law, has apparently changed its
course to Argentina. Three steamers
carrying 5000 immigrants from Italy
arrived here recently, and the agent
of the principal steamship line ply
ing between Italy and Argentine says
that the third-class accommodations
of its ships are booked ahead at
Genoa for some time to come.
Interest Swerves
Interest has swerved thus far al
most entirely to the independent
camp, for the Nonpartisan league is
in the minority in both houses of
of the legislature for the first time
in several years.
The leaguers held caucuses Mon
day afternoon and night, but they
were very informal, and devoted
chiefly to brief talks by various mem.
bers. No definite plan of action was
agreed upon. As one representative
expressed it, the league is in the
minority and now i is question OF
waiting to see what the other side
will<do.
Among the leagucrs not members
of the legislatures who were around
were William Lemkc, John N. Hagan
and former Senator Church, the lat.
ter being on the budget hoard.
Many of the Nonpartisans expect
attacks to be made on league laws
in the shape Of repeal bills, OF
amendments and are prepared to re-
sist them. q

AT THE MOVIES
At THE CAPITOL

Policemen, members of their
families and their friends through
out the nation, have every reason
to express their gratitude - as
thousands of them are doing right
now-for tho new motion picture
'In the Name of the Law" shown
for the first time at the Capitol
theater yesterday.
This kind of a motion picture has
been a long time coming. 1t gives
the policeman a square deal. It
redeems him in the eyes of the
public. 1t shows in vivid dramatic
sequence that the average police
man is a splendid, home-loving,
God-fearing citizen and not an
awkward and slovenly buffoon as
he has been pictured in many of
the comic films.
1t shows the policeman of today
as stout-hearted guardian of law
and order who supports his family
with all the devoted diligence of
the best American traditions. 1t
shows his wife as a loyal, hard
working woman. It shows 4, his
children as fine youngsters reared
in an environment of the best type.
Moreover, I'm the Name of the
Law" unfolds stirring tale of the
woe that besets the family of Pat
O'Hara, policeman of the San
Francisco force. They have two
grown sons, Harry =. and Johnny
and an adopted daughter Mary.
All the children encounter troubles
of varying degrees OF seriousness.
But in the, end Pa and Ma O'Hara
fight their way through the barrier
of despair and attain the heights
of happiness.
There are any number of power
full situations, from the thrilling
robbery of the bank to the court
poom scene in which brother de-
tends brother.
In the cast are such we'll known
players at Ralph Lewis, of "Birth
of Nation: fame, who portrays the
role Of Pat O'Hara, the policeman;
Claire M'Dowell as Mother O'Hara |;
Emory johnson and Johnnie Walk
err are the O'Hara brothers while
Ella Hall is the adopted waif who
becomes !, Mary O'Hara.s Emory
Johnson was also the direcor. The
picture is presented by Mr.. Pat
rick A. Powers and distributed
through the Film Booking Offices
of America, of which he Is the

that the defendants have assumed

of the membranes against said
property; that there has never
been any tender or offer by the
plaintiff to restore to the defend
ants that which they have paid on
account of the payment and as
sumption of these various obliga-
tons and encumbrances; and that
the plaintiff is now in the position
of seeking to recover the property
without restoring or offering to
| restore that which the defendants
have SO paid or assumed to pay;
that further, after the alleged pur-
chase of 4he property in question,
the defendants made very extern
sive alterations, repairs and ad-
ditions to the property ir. ques=
ton; that such alterations were
made openly and VIGOROUSLY; that
all the parties in interest, and to
vindicate whose rights this action
is now being brought by the plain
tiff, stood by, offered no objection,
and permitted the same to be
done; that large sums Of moneys
were expended by and upon the
premises in question by the de-
PENDANTS aggregating many thou
sands of dollars, and that, on ac-
count of all these matters and
things, the plaintiff is at this time
estopped to bring the action in
question. 1t seems to me that on
the record as thus made, the court
must sustain this last contention
of the defendant; and that being
the case, hold that the plaintiffs
cannot at this time recover, but
by reason Of the fact that it is the
opinion of the court that the at
tempted purchase, sale and trans
fer Of the property, was in the first
instance unauthorized and invalid,
that the plaintiff, while not entitl-
ed to a decree adjuding the pro-
perty to be in it, is nevertheless
entitled to a judgment as against
| the defendant in such sum Of
money as measures the difference
between the amount actually paid
and expended by the defendants in
the attempted purchase of the pro-
perty in question, and the value
that the property had at the time
of such attempted purchase, if
any,"
Can't Determine Value
The memorandum further says
it appears impossible at this time
from the record to make any find
ing as to what sums were actual
ly paid and expended for the pro-
perty, or what the real value of
it was before the transaction and
that it will be necessary to order
either complete new trial of the
action in question, or the taking
of further testimony to amplify
the record as at present made, and
supply the court with the neces-
sary evidence in order to enable
the court to determine the matter.
Therefore, the order will be
that the case be either tried anew
in toto, or that the record as now
made be used, and that additional
testimony be TAKEN" the court
said in closing the memorandum.
