MATINEE TODAY
Miss Blanche Warren Demonstrated
Her Ability as Emotional Actress

Miss Blanche Warren demons trated
clearly to the packed house at East Lake
last night that she is an emotional actress
of no mean ability. Her work as Kitty
Driscoll in THAT Husband of Nine" was
superb and would do credit to a star with
any first class dollar attraction. She is
clever, indeed.
The entire performance was really a
treat. Ed Gardner made his first appear
ance this season in specialties and as of
days gone by, when he was leading come
dian for Katie Putnam, he drew an ava
lanche of applause and was forced to re-
spond to three encores.
matinee will be given this afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock
There were two tally-ho parties and a
trolley party out last night to enjoy the per-
Torrance of the Chapman Warren COM
pany.

How the New King Was APP
pointed.
EACH GIVEN A HEARING
Each of the Applicants Was Made to
Promise to Support the Commits
sion in Whatever Action
80 They Might Take.

Washington, July Acknowledgement
Rose, the German official who has been one
of the foremost figures in the recent events
in Samoa. today gave to the Associated
Press an interesting outline of the condi-
lions upon the affairs in Samoa:
Prior to the arrival of the Samoan COM
MISSION said he, IAN armistice had been
arranged with the native forces. The
commissioners first turned their attention
to disarming the native forces. The COM
mission then gave a hearing on board the
Badger to each of the claimants for the
kingship, Mataafa being heard one day and
Tana another. They were addressed, not
as kings, but simply as subjects"
I'VE wanted to know if they were ready
to give their support to the committee even
If it determined to deny the right of one
or the other of them to the kingship or to
abolish the kingship entirely. Serious as
these questions were to the two claimants
to the throne, they promised to support the
commission in whatever action was taken.
"Some days later the Badger went along
the coast to Malie, where Mataafa's head
quarters We're located. The native chiefs
came along side and formal surrender of
the guns was made to the commission.
"Mataafa and his chiefs came aboard the
ship and were entertained at dinner The
Tanu party followed with the surrender of
their arms few days later, for which the
decision of the commissioners had upheld
Tanu yet it was felt to be in the interest
of all concerned that the native kingship
should be brought to an end and that an
administration by white men at least over
those localities where white interests are
greatest should be brought about. Tanu
yielded to this decision, but for a time there
was some prospect of trouble, as the royal
flags were kept flying over the Tanu head
quarters despite the fact he had surrender
ed the kingship. This was a source of irri-
taton to the Mataafa people, who consider
cd 1t contrary to the understanding arrived
at.
"Since arriving in this country, l under
stand that this source of difficulty has
been removed and that the Tanu flag is
withdrawn and the Tanu forces dispersed.
The Mataafa people have also gone back
to the interior. With natives dsarmed and
both factors back to their homes there is
every reason to believe that no further
trouble will arise and that the commission
will be free to work out satisfactory plan
for the future governmnt of the islands
I'm determining upon the abolition OF the
kingship the commission examined the
question with great care The opinion of
all the leading British interests in Samoa
was secured and this was almost unani-
nous in favor of abolishing the kingship.
The manager of the German company,
which is the most extensive business con-
Germ on the islands, strongly approves the
plan of having white administration"
