Minden Movie Man Wins Suit From Producers Supreme £ourt Holds Refusal to Allow Pictures to Be Shown Is Matter of In- # terstate Commerce. A movie war that affected a score of Nebraska town* was settled by the 1 nitcd Slates Supreme court In fl decision yesterday. Dana Van lictisen of Omaha, as attorney for Charles Z. Binderup of Minden, Neb., # scored in the ruling that a 9orpora tion operating branches over the country is engaged in interstate com merce. Mr. Binderup now will have i hr* opportunity of returning to dis i riot court in Omaha to fix before a Jury the exact amount of his dam ages front all the big motion pieffire producers in the country. Months ago Mr. Binderup brought suit for fT-IO.OOO against motion pic ture producers in Omaha federal dis trict court, charging that through the local organization known as the Omaha Film Board of Trade, they 'had"conspired to boycott him and re lused to send him pictures to show in the 2S picture theaters which he operates over Nebraska. The case was tried by Judge AVoodrough, who directed a verdict in favor of the producers, on the ground that he was dealing with a Nehraska organi zation. ai^d that therefore there was no violation of the interstate com merce law. The case met the same fate when carried to the clrjpit court of ap l>pals. Finally It was taken to the supreme court In Washington. The case was filed October 4. The film producers were represented by William M. Seabury of New York jL etty and Arthur Mullen of Omaha. Yesterday the supreme court reversed the decisions of the lower courts when it decided that dealing through branch agents who sold to the con sumer in the. same state did not dis prove that they were carrying on in terstate commerce, although the branches were carrying on state com merce. “The Importance of this decision, so far as I can determine from the unofficial opinion X have seen, is that the business of a nation-wide concern which deals with persons in one state by means of branch agen cies, is still engaged In Interstate commerce, even though by transfer ring the product from branch ag’ncy to ‘consumer’ is not Interstate,” Mr. Van Dusen explained last night. “This is the first time that evaders of the Sherman antitrust hill have been brought to justice.” Man Ts Seriously Injured as Auto Hits Motorcycle Nebraska City, Neb., Nov. 19.—W.

Mala I-1« «»rih Something Worth Remembering We celebrate Abraham Lin coln's birthday February 12th. but it is worth while r e number ing that it was just 60 years ago— N'ov ember 19th, 1S63— that Mr. Lincoln de livered hia famous ad dress at Gettysburg. From the i n c i dents surrounding the delivery of that address we may learn that just as “the greatest men are the simp lest,” so simple things are often the most important. Mr. Lincoln was not expect ed to he the orator of the day. That was assigned to Edward Everett. His silver tongue 'had kept the heart heats of his generation go ing. His polished orations are piled high in the archives where the words of Ciceros and the Demosthenes of the world are preserved. Gettys burg battlefield was to be* come a national cemetery and the dedicatory services were fixed for November 19. Invited to attend. Mr. Lincoln was informed that Mr. Everett would be the orator and that the president would be expected to formally set asi8e the grounds for their sacred use with a few appropriate words. Mr. Everett spoke for two hours holding his great audience In rapt attention. Mr. Lincoln spoke for a very few minutes. No one remembers the two-hour oration of Everett, but all the world remembers the few minutes’ talk of Lincoln. In deed. Mr. Everett himself wrote to the president: "I should be glad If I could flatter myself that 1 came as near to the central idea of the occasion in my two hours as you did in two min utes.” “The world will little note nor long remember what we say here,’’ said Lincoln. But the world has remembered what IJncoln said. It is so well re membered that countless thou sands of children and grown folks alike have committed it to memory, while its pure cotes have served as an inspiration wherever there are free men or men struggling to be free, t'n der his great responsibility, Lin coin thovight Truth. Inspired, only as right thinking can In spire. Lincoln, at Gettysburg, voiced Truth. Because It is Truth. It lives: for Truth "resist less as the tides” Is "eternal as the stars.” J.
