MUSIC HALL SCORED.
Csse Against Proprietor Continued,
but bartender Held for Rob-

The case against e. A. Massart, charg-
ed with keeping disorderly house, COM
monty known as the Royal Music Hall.
was continued by Recorder Myrick in Po-
lice Court yesterday morning. after Pa
trolman Jernigan had testified for the
prosecution. The hearing was in private,
and followed the examination of Minnie
Hess, a performer. and Joe Sweeney.
bartender, who were charged with lar
ceny of $40 from Upton Robertson of No.
1S1 Liberty street, west. An account OF
the arrest of the vaudeville people was
given in the Morning News yesterday.
The case against Massart, as we'll as
that against the songstress and barten-
der, was docketed by Robertson, but Pa
trolnlan Jernigan proved a damaging
witness. He testified that minors have
been permitted to frequent the resort and
were served drinks. The officer stated
that the women float around the place in
loose dresses and even go up to the bar
and drink with men who chance TO drop
In for round of pleasure. The patrol
man does not consider the place a very
ref1ned theater and so stated without any
hesitancy. Further testimony on this
line will be heard tomorrow.
In the larceny case Robertson swore
pOSlllNeiy tndt Ill some manner he had
been robbed of $40 in the place. He had
taken quite a number of drinks and
stated that he had spent some SIS of his
own accord, but that the remainder of his
wad had been taken without his xnowl-
edge or consent. The prosecutor stated
that he was quite sure that he had two
twenty dollar bills that he had not spent,
but which had been taken from him. He
was inclined to believe that he had gone
up against the Knockout game and that
the money was taken while he was in a
stupor.
The woman stated that she had been
drinking wine with the man, but denied
that she had seen the money spoken of
by the complainant. The bartender de-
clared that there was nothing in Robert
sons story, and that the truth is that he
had been blowing himself quite lively. Ac-
cording to Sweeney Robertson opened UP
several bottles of wine at five per, be-
sides a large quantity of beer. He was
just making name for himself as a good
fellow, and one of the boys, when he
spoiled the game by shouting robbery
Recorder Myrick decided that there was
no evidence upon which to hold the Hess
woman and dismissed the case against
her. Sweeney was, however, remanded
for trial in the City Court ON charge of
larceny from the person. He furnished
bail for his appearance In the higher
court and the case will probably be called
Friday.

THEY SAW WATER SPoUTS.
Unusual Phenomcna witnessed on
the Savannah River.

Hundreds of heads were poked from
the windows of the buildings along the
river front and the rear balconies were
crowded yesterday about 1870 o'clock.
From Bay street recruits for the throng-
ing spectators arrived in numbers, for
over the tops of the buildings on the
north side of the Bay could be seen evi,
dences of a phenomenon that was at.
tracing so much attention.
There was a waterspout. Rather, there
were two waterspouts, one following
closely behind the other For two or
three minutes the mighty columns of
water were observed. They were formed
over across Hutchinson's Island, near the
plantation of Capt. Manigault Down
reached the funnel-shaped columns from
the Clouds and up to meet them seemed
to leap similar columns of water. Joining
forces, these stalagmites and stalac-
tites of water, rushed in rapid. whirling
movement across the north channel of
the river, diagonally. Striking Hutchin-
sons Island, they burst, the water re-
turning to the river and the clouds Slow
ly drawing back their writhing and twist
ing segmerts, which, for two or three
minutes, fought in seeming protest
against the forces of nature that ordain-
element upon which they had laid hold.
The water spouts were generally dis
cussed. Many were asked If they had
seen the curious meteorological phe-
nomena, and those who had not, IL they
had never seen water spout, expressed
regret that they had not been where they
could secure a view. Many wise and
learned explanations of just what consti-
tutes water spout. how they are formed
and why were heard, accepted or ques-
toned, and arguments most profound re-
suited. Some declared that a water spout
is but a species Of cloud burst, in which
great volumes Of water are Ioosed from
the clouds, while others insisted that the
definition was altogether wrong, and that
a water spout is only a sort of whirl-
wind, In which water is drawn up 10 the
clouds in much the same way that a
whirlwind catches up leaves and trash on
land. Seeking to show Just what wa
ter spout is, a representative of the Morn
ing News had recourse to Webster, who
thus gives a quotation descriptive of the
phenomenon:
reaching from the sea to the clouds. are
seen moving along, often several at once,
sometimes straight and vertical, at other
times inclined and tortuous, but always
In rapid rotation. At their bases, the sea
is Violently agitated and heaped up with
a ieaping or boiling motion, water, >at
least in some cases, being actually carried
up in considerable quantity and scattered
round from great hight. as solid bodies
are by tornadoes on land"

THE POPE IS HOPEFUL.
Wants United States to Send Ambas.
 sadors to the Vatican.

London, December 23.-The Pail Mall Gazette publishes the following dispatch from Rome today:
 "The Vatican is becoming decidedly more hopeful that the United States will yield to the Pope's great desire and ap- point diplomatic representative to the Vatican. So anxious is the Pope for the success for his project that he would be satisfied at present with a semi official representative in the hope that he would be eventually turned into a minister or ambassador. It seems that Washing ton is not unwilling to discuss the mat ter. and the Vatican has intimated in return it's desire to meet American wishes in Cuba, and the Philippines, and possi- bly, create another Cardinal in the United States. The Pope is somewhat opposed to the latter step while Cardinal Gibbons lives, but he may compromise the matter by creating Archbishop Ireland or Arch bishop Corrigan Cardinal of the Curia entailing living in Rome

Murphy ( ce.,a Cotton Letter.

New York December 23.-There was not much business in the early market, which opened 1 to points lower. Considering that cables were not up to the mark when we opened and that receipts were heavy, the preliminary dealings here were quite satisfactory. Firms with close Lv- erpool and New Orleans connection were selling on a pretty liberal scale, but all their offerings were promptly absorbed. Little was at hand from the South, and what there was was bullish as to the crop prospects, and the feeling every where was expressed from the big rise is only a matter of time
 During the morning the market gained strength in spite of indications of 65,000 receipts for the~day as against 3S, 900 last year. Sellers withdrew for the time be- ing. Cables were point higher at the coming in from the South. The movement at ports Is certainly rather large and of course the bears are making the most of 1t.
 Receipts so far for the season are 4- 3760O0, against 4235.000 vast year. It is known and always expected that the movement will increase towards Christ mas and general preparations are made for it. It appears, however. that nothing Is discounted in advance and the full fig- ures are having no little effect sentimen- tally or otherwise. Of course, we hear that there will be a falling of after the holidays. but will this be the case after the holidays are over is now the ques-

LIQUIDATION IN SUGAR

New York, December 23..-Today's stock market took on the tone of tho hoiioas dullness and the volume of dealings Tell away to little over half a million shares of which a large proportion was Ill su- gar. The fluctuations in the general mar kct were not of great importance out side of sugar. There was disposition te advance railroad stocks in the carry dealings especially the coalers, but the steady liquidation in sugar had an un- settling influence on the market and stiff ness of the call loan market discouraged speculation. The banks generally marked up their standing call loans to per cent. and the greater part of the days loans were made at that rate. The incentive to business in a call loan rate below six per cent while brokers charge their GUS toners per cent to carry stocks, was therefore lacking and commission houses showed a languid interest in the market. The deep cut of 25 points made by the American Sugar Refining Company in the price of refined sugar, thus under bidding their principal competitor caused discus ciOil OI lH6 pTODdOlllly OA e - a war in the trade but mach attention was also given assertions of the threat of competition growing out of the great increase in production of beet sugar and the very low prices at which that porduct is selling in Europe. Only twice during the day did sugar raly as much as point to interrupt it's persistent downward Aa tha lowest and 65A below Saturdays closing. The previous low record for this year was broken at 1928. Today's final price was 109A. Amalgamated copper maintained its more stable tone, huetuating over less than a point but always below Saturday s level. The stocks net loss is B. There was continued disorder in the metal mar kets in London which was reflected in 8 point decline in national lead preferred here, the common stock also losing point. The firmness in the coalers was due to the urgent character of the de- mand for coal which is reported to amount to famine at some points, thus maintaining the prosperity of the year of largest production and greatest profits in the coal trade. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis rose and the pre- ferred 2B.
 Unprecedented holiday trade is making large local demand for cash and it is re- ported that the trust companies are drawing down their deposits with the banks somewhat for their year-end re- quirements.
