The play is full of interesting situa-

eminently successful, and her portrayal

MIR. FAIR IN COURT.
Accused of Soliciting Orders for
Foreign Goods.

Aubrey Fair, one of the partners OF
the Stockton Milling Company, was
tried in the District Court yesterday on
the charge of soliciting for his com
pany without a license. Mr.. Fairs duty
is TO visit the company's agents all
over the world at least once a year
and lend whatever assistance is neces-
sary for the promotion of their inter
ests.
Mr.. Fair, it seems, is in no sense a
| selling agent for the company, nor has
he been charged with importing and
selling goods, as was stated in an after
noon paper Some time ago, while in
San Francisco, Mr. Fair met member
of the firm of McChesney & Sons, and
began the negotiations of deal where
by that firm would be made Hawaiian
agents for a particular brand of his
companys -four The negotiations
were not concluded at the time, and a
few days after his arrival here, Mr..
Fair called on McChesney & Sons and
renewed the conversation. The deal
was consumated, and it was understood
that the goods could come through Cas-
tie & Cooke, or direct from the mill
The latter plan was suggested.
At another time Mr.. Fair called on
the California Feed Company and talk
ed business with the manager. The
Police Department learned of these two
transactions and Mr.. Fair was sum-
moned to appear in court. On the stand
he testified that the firm of Castle e
Cooke were the sole agents in these
Islands for the sale of the product of
his company, and that they were in
terested in every pound of flour shipped
by them to the Islands; that individ-
ually he did not import goods to sell
here and that whatever had been done
by him since his arrival here was in
the interest of Castle & Cooke, and that
it was supposed they were benefited
by his suggestions. He made no at
tempt to conceal his actions, which
were always free and above board, and
said that he was not selling goods for
his house under cover of another firm.
He had no idea that his actions could
be construed into a violation Of any
law on the statutes.
Mr.. Fair was in Honolulu some nine
ago on a similar errand, and
permission was granted at that time
by the Marshal, after the situation had
been explained, to assist Castle &
Cookies statesmen without license, as
it was considered that he was not So
Letting orders for a foreign firm. He |
stated yesterday that he had not OBJ |
tanned a license on this occasion, be- |
cause he was pursuing the same meth
DDS as previously.
Judge Wilcox stated that there ap-
Deared to have been no intentional vio-
Iation of the statutes, but he would |
have to impose a. merely nominal fine |
Of $50. Mr.. Fair was defended by w.
R. Castle. 1t is probable that the case
will go to the higher Court on appeal.

Last night telephone message to
the police station about 10 o'clock call
ed out Mounted Officers Beck and
Brown to No. 92S Avenue B, where
the residence of Mr.. Roll had been en-
tered by burglars and several articles
taken. Upon arrival they inspected
the premises and made a thorough
search of the neighborhood but found
nothing of the thieves.
The burglary occurred sometime be-
tween o'clock and the time the police
were telephoned for, as the family had
just gone into the parlor at 8, o'clock
and left the remainder of the house
open. Upon returning from the parlor
they learned that one of the rear rooms
occupied by the daughter had been en-
tered and several articles Of clothing
and other property had been carried
away. This led to the calling of the
police and a fruitless search for the
plunderers.
Detectives Shoaf and McCloskey are
at work on the case.

Business Manager Charley Weber
took home the gate receipts of yester-
days game in his vest pocket.s Get
in the camel" is the rooters' cry when
the Bronchos lose a few games. Turn
about is fair play, and it is now in
order for the rooters to get in the game
if they want the game to go on.
Therefore, rooters get in the game.
Or we may lose some of our boys.
That's right, Looie Knau and Win
Clark are too fast for this league, and
some of the Big League managers are

that way-because. there was no kick
ing. You may not believe it, but peo-
pie want to see wrangling and kicking
and coaching and errors and basehits.
It's all in the game-makes it lively
and If they don't see it they say they
didn't get their moneys worth.
But baseball cranks are peculiar peo-
pie.
We lose-the team is rotten; We win
the game is bought
oh, but Mike O'Connor must have a
lot of money to buy all those games.
Wonder where he keeps it?
No more insinuations.
Get in the game.
Our customary rum" remarked Fred
Valdois, as Willie Kohnle crossed the
rubber in the first inning. 1t looked
so easy that really the Champions took
things easy to lure on the Panthers,
which have become decidedly tame of
late. But wonders never cease, and
Bill Wards boys are Wonders. After
pegging away for five innings with
the score 2-1 for the visitors, Jimmie
Underwood came to the bat, and with
three Wonders on the bases, lifted one
of Dashing George Gilpatrick's incest
drops over left field fence, and the
score wonderfully grew to 6-1.
Now boys, let's bat it out" urged
the Bronchorian leader, as our gang
came in for the seventh. But Doc
Goodell, Bill Wards young twirler,
was putting them straight over with
plenty of speed and occasionally
bending one. The Bronchos hit hard
and often, but the fleetfooted Panthers
took care of everything that came from
the bat.
In the eight Willie Kohnle led off.
Mark me down for a hit" said he as
he went to the bat. 1t was a chicken
| hit-sometimes called scratchy-but 1t
was marked down, just as Willie said
Clark and Keefe followed, and it look
| ed as if the fireworks were about to
| start. They touched up Young Goodell,
but they hit too hard for single and not
| hard enough for doubles. The fielders
| got under them, and so the Champs
were retired for the balance of the af-
ternoon without a run.

snow cloud was hanging over Fort
Frayne that lovely Christmas eve, and
the neon shone down through filmy
veil of lace and cast black shadows on
the dazzling surface. Everywhere about
the post lights were ewinkling in the
quarters ana sounds of soldier merri-
ment and revelry came from the bar
racks. Over at the assembly room Rorke
and his party were still busily at work
hanging festoons of green and complet-
ing the decorations for the morrow,
while in the several households among
the officers dinner parties or similar en-
tertainments called together under one
roof or another almost all the families
as well as the bachelors of the garrison.
The children were rejoicing in their
great Christmas tree at the chapel. The
colonel had hidden them all to his big
house for Santa Claus party after the
public ceremony Of the post Sunday

was over and the women passed out into

flushed, but, inclining her head, passed

the gleeful voices of the children could
be heard returning from the chapel,
