Grounds on which George White-
New York, Feb. 18. Attorneys for ! side, counsel for Sir Joseph, based
Sir Joseph Duveen failed this after- his motion for dismissal included
noon to win the first point in their lack of any cause for action, lack
battle to have the $50,000 slander of evidence to Justify submission of
suit of Mrs. Andre Lardoux Harm ; the case to a jury, and failure of
plaintiff to make out a prima
against Sir Joseph in the controversy ' the
over the painting "La Belle Ferron-
niere" thrown out of court.
The court refused to entertain any
motion to strike out the charge that
Sir Joseph was responsible for publi
cation in the newspapers of his state
ment that the Hahn picture was not
painted by Leonardo de Vinci.
However, there remained before
the court a motion by Sir Joseph's
counsel to dismiss the case. Argu-
facie case. Whiteside also contended
that there also had been no legal
proof deduced by counsel for Mrs.
Hahn to show that Sir Joseph caused
publication in any paper of the state
ment calling her painting a copy, or
that there was any evidence of mal
ice on his part.

Custom Hatching!
The old time residents of this
city will be interested in learning
that Mrs. Minnie Hardy, celebrated
Utah poetess, whose words of song
J of the great west have brought her
fame tnrougnout me mountain states,
is a former resident of this city, her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. William John
son, having resided here some forty
years ago and the daughter, Minnie
Johnson attended school here in the
nineties.
In speaking of her work the Salt
Lake City Telegram has the follow
ing: Minnie J. Hardy is a poet in whom
Utah may well be proud to have a
share, for though not a native, she
makes Utah her home by choice, and
with her poet soul, claims all of
beauty that the state affords. For
what greater claim can one make
upon beauty than to paint it upon
canvas, or mold it with a sculptor's
hands, or immortalize it in verse?
"With a versatility born of sturdy
pioneer heritage added to her own
experiences of travel, study and meet
ing with others in varied walks of
life, that, with those deeper inner
experiences life is wont to thrust up
on some more than others. Mrs.
Hardy interprets life and nature.
One is particularly .aware of a de
tachment from all prejudice, from
petty bickerings and strife, one is
happily aware of the warmth of an
eye trained to beauty in its truest
sense in her songs of Utah.
"The force that drove the
pioneer on
Prevails as in the days of
yore,
It wakes the hills at rose-
hued dawn
With echoes of the motor's
roar,
As mighty winged Argo
sies Alight beside your inland
seas."
Pictures Bingham.
It is not so easy a matter to make
poetry spring from the torn and
bleeding breast of Mother Earth, yet
of the world's greatest copper mine
at Bingham the author makes of
"whirring wheels and belts," "crush
ers" and "flotation tanks," of "mas
ter minds and willing hands," an
industrial poem that for its scope
rivals those of poets of wider fame
and lends in words to the pictorial
element of the mine:
"Then, 'mid explosive's roar,
these willing hands
Carved a huge Jacob's lad
. . der to the sky."
It is not hard to discover of what
beauty spot of Utah the author sings
in the words:
"A Dante's inferno! a for
est on Are!
With ever the flames leap
ing higher and higher!
Burning, consuming the
sins of our souls.
When up from the heart of
the furnace there roll
Beautiful things!"
That is, it i3 not hard, if one has
perched on the edge of the precipice
at Bryce canyon and felt, as Mrs.
Hardy has, that all dross and sin
were forever burned away in the
heart of this furnace of God's own
making, and that out of the burning
came beauty to reign forever.
Nature Poems Vivid.
But for whimsicality and pure im
aginative quality we turn to the na
ture poems of the author. "The
Clouds' needs no melody other than
the measure of its own rhythm to
carry it along:
- "They are born of spray
. and mist,
And at night they float
and drift
Wierd and ghost-like o'er
the hill.
When the busy worrld Is
still
And asleep.
But the morning's crimson
beam.
They are sun-dyed rose,
and gleam
Rainbow-hued and opal
kissed Neath a sky of amethyst
Blue and deep.
High noon they float
through space
Like some priceless, pre
cious lace
Made of gossamer fine and
frail.
. Like the snowy wedding
- . veil .. - , . :
Of a bride."
"The Death of My Sweetheart,"
"Rebuffed." "Desert - Flowers," and
"Litanies" are among some of her
other lovely lyrics. Not the least
among the virile bits -she has done
are her arrative poems and ballads
that have, been published at inter
vals with her finer, . more sensuous
bits. Cowboy, sailor, miner, sheep
herder, pioneer, appear in full re
galia and native vernacular to rival
the Kit Carson ballads of frontier

feels are more than phantasy, are
indeed reality in its deepest sense:
"Three Portents came to
dwell with me
The day that I was born,
And one had wins upon her
feet and a gown of white
chiffon.
And one was sweet and
lovely
Like the gragrant flowers
in May, .
And one was garbed in
clinging robes
Of dark and somber gray."

From "Wednesday's Dally
The case of Mia U. Gering, treas
urer of Cass county, vs. Fred Buer-
stetta, receiver of the First National
bank, et a!., tried in the district
court here before Judge John 1J.
Raper of Pawnee City, has just been
affirmed by the state supreme court
but the amount of recovery by the
plaintiff from the bank reduced to
$2,500 and the defendant, George O.
Dovey, cashier of the First National
bank, is released from liability on
the cause of action.
This case is one in which the plain
tiff as treasurer of Canfl county had
deposited funds in the First National
bank of Plattsmouth over the amount
of the bond carried by trie bank,
claiming the agreement of the bank
cashier to furnish bond for the ex
cess amount of the depot-its over the
$20,000 surety bond. The bank
closed its doors on December 13,
1926, and was placed in the hands
of the comptroler of the currency and
since that time has been in the hands
of the receiver appointed by the
comp-troller.
In the trial of the case here before
Judge Raper denial was made of
specific agreements by the bank offi
cers to supply the bond for the
amount over the $20,000 and denial
made by the bank of the right of
the plaintiff and the cross-petitioner,
the county of Cass, to have a pre
ferred claim made of the amount of
the county deposits.
In the hearing of the case nere a
decree was entered by Judge Raper
setting the recovery of the plaintiff
and the county of Cass at the sum
of $10,882.19 as against the First
National bank and also against
George O. Dovey, cashier of the bank.
In the decision of the state su
preme court the amount of the claim
of the county against the First Na
tional bank is reduced to $2,500 as
well as the dividends that may have
been or will be declared on the as
sets of the defunct bank. The court
also releases Mr. Dovey, the former
cashier, from any liability in the
amount given by the court.

Kniffen system seems to be the most
satisfactory. It consists of the fol
lowing procedure: Pick out a strong
dane on each side f the trunk near
the top trellia wire, and two more
near the bottom wire. Cut each of
the canes back to from eight to ten
buds each, making the cuts about an
inch beyond the last bud. Pick out
two more canes near the bottom trel
lis wire and trim them back to from
six to eight buds each. Trim away
all the other canes on the vine and
all the wood that does not support
the four canes left on the main
trunk.

Vatican City, Feb. 19. Interna
tional Rotary is about to be given a
clean bill of health by the author
ities of the holy see. Reliably in
frnmpd rirHs of the Vatican tonisht
said this reversal of a former ruling
was due largely to the favorable im
pression created by I. D. Sutton of
Tampico, Mex., who is prrFtrtent oi
the international organization.
Mr. Sutton came here in the face
fo a ruling against Rotary by the
consistorial congregation that mem
bers of the priesthood would not
be allowed to join Rotary clubs. This
ruling came shortly after Osservatore
Romano, the newspaper used by the
Vatican for its public announce
ments, had condemned the organi
zation for its alleged practice of in
culcating a religion "without God."
Mr. Sutton, himself a Roman
Catholic, interviewed a number of
the princes of the church and con
vinced them that his organization
respected all creeds. He also told
them at least 350 prominent laymen
and clergymen of the church were
active Rotarians in the United States
and the fact that one particular
nrnminent lavman had been a mem
ber of a certain Rotary club in In
diana for twelve years was empnas
ized. Another aid came to him. it was
understood, in the form or letters
from the National Catholic Welfare
council at Washington. Then too,
pPTtnin nrplates who knew conditions
in the United States at lrst hand
seconded his efforts in some quar
ters State Journal.
