If there were no other features
worthy of note In the "Birth of
a Nation," which is packing the
Heilig Theater twice a day, the
excellent portrayal of Ben Cam
eron, the "Little Corporal," by
Henry Walthall, would make the
play memorable.
Ben Cameron had never met
Elsie Stoneman, daughter of a
Northern member of Congress,
yet the daguerrotype he pilfered
from her brother, Phil, was car
ried next his heart through the
wars. The young couple met in
a Northern hospital, where Elsie
was nursing the wounded and to
which the "Little Colonel," had
been brought, a wounded pris
oner. From that time until the end
of the play the love story be

City Enjoined From Shutting
Off Mill's Water Supply.
FIRE PROTECTION IS ISSUE
Demand of Mr. Daly for Large
Itet-order of Amount XTse'd Will
Be Heard on September IS.
Pipe Reported Sealed.
The demand of Commissioner Daly
that a six-inch water meter be in
stalled in the plant of the West Oregon
Lumber Company at Linnton will be
heard before Circuit Judge Davis Sep
tember 13.
Judge"Davis yesterday signed a tem
porary injunction restraining the city
from shutting off the sawmill's Bull
Run water supply until the meter hear
ing is held. Notice had been served
that the water would be shut off today.
For several years, says E. D. Kings
ley, manager of the lumber company,
in his affidavit, a Bull Run pipe has
been in the mill for fire protection only.
The pipe itself has been sealed so that
the water could not be used for other
purposes. This condition existed before
Linnton was made part of the city, and
it is only since Linnton has been
brought into the city that Mr. Daly has
demanded the installation of a meter.
Drmand Is Styled TJnJnst.
The lumber company's complaint,
filed in County Clerk Coffey's office yes
terday, styles the demand for a meter
"unjust and unfair discrimination." If
the water is shut off, says the lumber
company, the fire hazard will be greatly
Increased.
The suit generally is looked on as
one of importance, because Judge Davis'
decision will determine the ability of
Commissioner Daly to enforce the in
stallation of meters In some classes of
mills and factories throughout the city.
Since the proposed ordinance provid
ing for the general installation of
water meters in Portland was defeated
by a large majority at the May elec
tion, several companies have, at Mr.
Daly's request, installed meters on the
pipelines which they used for fire pro
tection purposes.
Cost Estimated nt 400.
Mr. Daly yesterday estimated that a
single meter of the type demanded at
the West Oregon Lumber Company's
mill would cost between $400 and $500.
"It is not our purpose to force these
people into the use of the mer sys
tem," said Mr. Daly yesterday. "We
only ask that a meter be installed on
the pipes where the city has put in fire
protection service free of charge.
"Without cost to the mills we have
put in water pipes for emergency use
in case of fire. As long as they have
the pipes in the mill they might use
water for other purposes, and for this
reason the meter safeguard is asked.
it is not an unreasonable demand. It is
the custom in every city. After a fire,
if the city water is used, we read the
meter, and do not charge for the water
used on the fire."
SINGER CLOSES WEEK
MME. JOHGLLI FIXISHES EXGAGE
JIRXT SATURDAY NIGHT.
Majootlc Theater Will Feature Local
Interest Film and Fox Famous
Photoplay.
Madame Jomelli, the prima donna
who has been charming thousands ot
Portlanders at the Majestic for two
weeks, will be the attraction for only
two days more. Today, tomorrow and
tomorrow night will be the last.
Madame Jomelli has endeared herself
to Portland men and women in the last
two weeks. They have appreciated her
work immensely. She has appealed to
them through song, and has touched a
chord which is sure to vibrate long
after she is gone.
A picture of timely and unusual in
terest is being featured for the rest
of the week. It is The Man From
Oregon." The plot is woven about the
United States Senator from Oregon.
who, after refusing to be bribed or ca
joled into voting for a bad measure, is
finally compromised by a woman whom
he loves. An intensely interesti-ng
climax is reached when the woman
makes her accounting, and the Sena
tor, in spite of his enemies, assails the
bad bill in the Senate chamber.
"Ham at the Beach" and "Bud and
Wag See Charlie Chaplin" are two com
edies which add a dash of ginger to
the programme. The Hearst-Selig News
Pictorial shows some excellent view
of the great Galveston disaster.
Beginning Sunday, the Majestic will
show the famous Fox features with
Theda Bara, Jean Sothern and Will
lam E. Shay in "The Two Orphans."
EISTE J AN IS FILM T II KILLS
Girl "Who Starts Out to See Vorld
Furnisb.es Exciting Theme.
When Elsie Janls wrote "the sce
nario of "Betty in Search of a Thrill,"
which opened at the National Theater
yesterday, she must have Imagined her
self in the position of a young girl
who wants to "see the world."
For in "Betty" Miss Janis "sees the
world" in five thrilling reels. Coming
straight from a convent, she runs from
home. Her first experience is as a clerk
in a department tore.
"Kid, you're too classy to sell ties.
Coma on with me," says a light of the
chorus.
And Miss Janis promptly tries out the
chorus, the life of a cabaret dancer,
essays life as a man and is caught in
a. gambling-house raid, has a wild
ride in an automobile, escapes in a
canoe and is swimming away when
"nabbed."
After all that, it was no wonder to
those who watched her yesterday at
the Nati6nal that she said: "Marry me
in a week or I'll never speak to you
again."

Razor Explanation Fails, So
Negro Gets 30 Days.
Argnmnt That Same Blade In TJaed
to Shave and to Cat Malls DMsn't
Convince Court.
YE8 sah. Ah had the razor in man
pants, where All put It befoh Ah
went to bed," said P. H. Hendricks,
colored, on trial before Municipal
Judge Stevenson Wednesday. Hendricks
had been arrested on a vagrancy
charge and had a large razor with
him.
"What do you use the razor for?"
queried the court.
-Why foh shaving roahsef, ob
course," was the answer.
"You take your life in your hands
them," said the magistrate, glancing
along the nicked, uneven edge of the
razor.
"Ah tell you, jedge. Ah also uses It
to pare man. nails with," was the de
fense offered.
"And do you mean to say that you
shave with tho same blade?" asked
Judge Stevenson.
"Not exactly, yeronner," was the
naive reply. "You se, Ah uses one
end ob the razor foh shavin' an' one
end foh cuttin' mah nails."
The court was not convinced that
the razor was not chiefly utilized as a
weapon of offense, and sentenced the
negro to 30 days' confinement and con
fiscated the dual-purpose razor.
