HEADY IN Nil STORES ‘TRUST' Judge Adams, for Defense, Objects to Method of Judge Speer in Panel of Jurors. Savannah, Ga.—ln the United States court this morning the government announced ready Itt the trial of Nasi: et al, in what is known as the “naval stores trust" case. Judge Samuel it. Adams, formerly for the deien.-e an nounced that he would oe ready os p.-on as the first panel of jurors had been called. When this had been done, he objected to the entire panel alleg ing that the jury box bad been il legally prepared, by Judge Emory Speer April 30th, 11)10, when the names now in the jury box wore placed there. Tho contention of the defense Was that Judge Speer hail allotted each county in the district a certain number of jurors with the idea of practically eliminating Chatham county in which Savannah is located. Judge Adams said there were but 75 Savannahians whose names were in the box. He contended the county was entitled to at least twice that number. TTe de clared the action of Judgu Speer in ar ranging the manner in which the names should go into the jury box un authorized and unconstitutional, and arguments upon bis motion to strike the entire panel began at 10:30 o’clock.

AI THE BIJOU George Kleine’s Photo Play “Antony and Cleopatra” Moat Gorgeous Picture Ever Shown In This City. The hunger of tho ipublic for bigness and beauty is demonstrated by the way little, big, old and young go af ter these tremendous things that the “movies” afford day after day. George Kieine, the producer of “Quo Vadis” and “The Last Days of Pom peii," sent "Antony and Cleopatra” to the Bijou for two days. Today, on account of the educational value of the picture school children will be admitted for ten cents. The pictures were nude in Italy on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Most of the actors are Italian and the total cast numbers 4,500 people. At first one is disposed to consider the munoeuv lings as a trifle “paste-board-y," but suddenly it all comes wonderfully to life. The Egyptian scenes are tradi tioanlly perfect to the mind of the oldest gruybeard and tho smallest school child in the audience. Signora Gonzales is a superbly voluptuous fe line Cleiipatra in the country where the eat is deity—no lean, shrewd, conniving beauty, as she has been sometimes painted. Signor An thony Novelll fully characterizes the noble Roman degenerated by sub serving intellect to passion. The scene in the Roman senate, with vast numbers of white robed patriots spir itedly discussing Mark Antony's traitorous conduct, presents an ex quisite realism of those ancient days of honor. Undoubtedly the must strik ing moments of tho drama occur when the Roman army sets out for Africa; the earnestness of the war riors, tile queer ships, the obvious perils of the journey; then the silent serious landing by night and the weary inarch along the flat sea-wash ed shores and over fields and hills to the Egyptian capital, with its endless and thoughtless revelry. Also, the refined cruelty of this beautiful, bar baric queen is admirably depicted in Ihe way in which she condemns her pretty slave rival, Charmlan, to the crocodiles. The pictures taken as a whole are most wonderful and In keeping with the high standard that one is accustomed to in a Klelne production. "Antony and Cleopatra” will he seen again today. Tomorrow and Thursday the monarch of them all “Quo Vadis’’ will he shown and the Mil for Friday and Saturday will be Mr. Kleine’s latest masterpiece, “For Napoleon and France.” A. M.
