CASE TWO DAYS MORE MRS. WALLACE REID IN TENSE DRAMA OF MOTHER LOVE AND THE LAW AT UNITE SPECIAL All Ladies Will Be Admitted Monday Night for 10 Cents MATINEE SUNDAY 2:30 p.m. EDNA MARIAM IN "SOME BABY" Pathe News PAVING CO. CASE TWO DAYS MORE Prolongation of the $17,500 damage suit brought by Charles Bean and George Cornwall against the L. A. Paving Co., before Superior Judge F. C. Drums was a certainty today, the case having been continued until next Wednesday. Rebuttal testimony was being offered by the plaintiffs late yesterday at adjournment. Probably two more days will be consumed, attorneys for both sides declared. Conflicting testimony as to dust from the company's asphalt mixing plant on the Fullerton industrial tract featured yesterday's testimony. Bean and Cornwall maintain their groves were damaged by the plant's dust, while the defense has attempted to show the dust that is given off is negligible and if the groves were damaged other causes, notably frost and Santa Ana winds, were to blame. J. E. Kobernik, superintendent of the Newton Process Manufacturing Co., with a plant just across the road, declared "great clouds" of dust were sent forth by the mixer and from the tower of the "hot" plant. He took the stand as a plaintiff rebuttal witness. Machinery and desks in his own factory often were covered with dust. Kobernik testified, and his workmen would get dust in their eyes, he added. In fact, he declared, on two occasions he had to send two workmen to a physician to have particles of dust removed from their eyes. When the cross-examination on this evidence became torried, Judg Drumm interposed the statement that he gave this latter evidence little weight, as the particles of dust in the men's eyes may have come from any number of sources, he said. One one occasion when a Santa Ana was blowing he noticed that the "hot" plant's dust was falling three-quarters of a mile away. Kobernik stated. Contrasted to this evidence was that given by Aubrey Lake, timekeeper for the paving company, who stated that tho he went to all parts of the plant in pursuance of his work he was able to wear a white shirt two and three days without changing. One of the white shirts he wore into court as has he noticed dust collecting on it in other than normal quantities. E. R. Werdin, president and general manager of the company, declared that men working inside the plant where the mixing is done and where the dust would be the heaviest, were not compelled to wear goggles and to take other precautions. HEAVY RAIN TODAY LOS ANGELES, March 7. Bringing So. Calif. its second rain-storm in 24 hours, heavy showers began falling here and in the surrounding country early today. From one-half to three-quarters of an inch of rain fell throughout the southland during the night. LAST NIGHT'S FIGHTS AT MILWAUKEE—Pete Saramiento, Filipino, won popular decision from Eddie "Cannonball." Who is to blame for lawlessness among children—the father or mother? Or neither? Those interesting questions arise to mind by the mighty film drama, Mrs. Wallace Reed or hers "Broken Laws," which will lead the attraction at the United States Sunday and Monday. This is intensely interesting modern drama of today deals with mother love and the law. One of the principal figures is a boy, Bobby Allen, who develops into a tyrant with no regard for law or other people. Who was a blame? Bobby's father taught him it was smart to beat speed cop; He drank, too, and made light of the constituted law of the land in other ways. Bobby's mother spoiled and hung mored him. She could see no wrong in the boy at all, regardless of what he did. Between the two he had very little chance, and soon got into some very serious One one occasion when a Santa Ana was blowing he noticed that the "hot" plant's dust was falling three-quarters of a mile away.

Between the two he had very little chance, and soon got into some very serious trouble. The answer seems to be that both were to blame. But regardless of the problems presented for "Broken Laws" it is, first of all entertainment of the finest kind. A strong, virile drama, played by artists and presented in a most lavish way. Mrs. Reid does the finest work of her career as the indulgent mother. Splendid work is also done by Percy Marmount-Ramsey Wallace, Jacqueline Saunders, Arthur Rankin, Virginia Lee Corbin and others. 131 ENTRIES FOR KENTUCKY DERBY LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 7.—A hundred and thirty-nine entries have been received for the 51st $50,000 Kentucky Derby, one of the leading turf events in the United States, it was announced today by Matt J. Winn, general manager of the Kentucky Jockey club. The race will be run May 16 at Churchill Downs. Every 3-year-old thoroughbred star is among the nominations, including all of last year's 2-year-old stake winners. Jay Kirke, veteran first baseman and outfielder, has been sold by Minneapolis to the Newark International league club. Kirki long ago failed to get by in the big show but as one who loves to hit his name leads all the rest. If Jay had his way men would carry bats instead of walking sticks and the dining rooms would include batting cages so that Jay could "pickle" a few between steak and pie. Ive seen Jay all but leap out of a Pullman window yelling instructions at some country kid trying to emulate Ruth on a cross-roads lot as the train went by. THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. MATTY TURNS TO YOUNGER TALENT ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 7.—Rome, we have been given to understand, wasn't built between sunrise and sunset, nor was the Johnstown flood the result of defective plumbing. Both were more or less cumulative enterprises. So are the Boston Braves, according to the good word today from Christy Mathewson, a great winner and a good loser, as president and one of the leading stockholders of the Boston National league franchise. He admitted the Braves to be an outfit with a negligible past and not the veriest suggestion of a present, but the allegation that they are without a future only provoked a tolerant smile. Mr. Mathewson, it appeared, wishes to be placed on record as denying the allegation and defying the "alligator." As matters stand, the Boston club figure to witness one of the greatest turnovers of player units in the modern history of baseball. When the bell rings, there is likely to be a recruit player in every position except shortstop and the battieries, while highly esteemed citizens of other days, such as McInnes, Padget, Smith, Stengel and Cunningham, gaze fixedly at the proceedings from the shade of the dugout. "It is all a case of future reckoning," said Matty. "McInnes might have slowed down a bit, but he is still a fine fielding first baseman. He might be ideal for present purposes, but since we are looking ahead three years Burrus will be allowed to play the position as long as he shows anything at all. Our idea is to stick the young players in for 30 or 60 days and let them do their worst. They will learn more that way than by sitting on the bench or playing minor league ball and if they make the grade so much the better."

The local track cannot safely accommodate more than 25 starters at one time and should more than a fourth of the present nominations be run it is very probable that the race will have to be run in two or more heats to decide the winner.

They will learn more that way than by sitting on the bench or playing minor league ball and if they make the grade so much the better. Lucas, a pitcher, looks as tho he might make a good second baseman and Dave Baneroff assures me that he plans to give the lad every chance to get by there. The same goes for Marriott at third base and probably Welch in center field, altho he hasn't reported because he wants a slice of the $50,000 purchase price we are alleged to have paid for him. Nels will play right field and possibly Mann and Stenger will alternate in left altho Sperber and Thomas may beat either or both of them." 89 NOMINATIONS FOR $15,000 DERBY RACE TRACK, TIA JUANA, Mexico, March 7.

LAKELAND, Fla. — Homer Summa, Pat McNulty, and Fred Spurgeon, the last members of TOP OF THE WORLD AT CALIF. SUNDAY The title of the new Paramount picture, which will top an excellent bill for Sunday only at the California theatre, has an alluring sound. "The Top of the World" smacks of action and drama and love. With a combination of such boxoffice favorites as Anna Q. Nilsson, Jamaica Kirkwood, Raymond Hatton and Sheldon Lewis there is no lack of acting talent. For those not familiar with the story, it will suffice to say that it deals with a complex love problem involving a girl and two cousins who resemble each other physically. The bitter struggle between these two men reaches a terrific climax and takes an unexpected turn when a raging flood sweeps down from the mountains with disastrous results. Even the most blase picture-goers will experience a quickening of the pulseland a faster beating of the heart when they see the realistic storm effects that the director has achieved. Just one of the many thrills in this melodramatic film incidentally some astonishing photographic effects have been achieved which show the two cousins—a dual role portrayed by Kirkwood—fighting, shaking shaking hands, passing each other in the same scenes,and otherwise acting as though they were distinct and individual personalities.Credit for this camera wizard belongs to Charles G. Clarke who supervised the photography. A Mermaal comedy,"Poor Butterfly," Pathne Review and the latest screen novelty,"Crossword Puzzles," complete the program.
