John Grifin's "King Rich
ard.
ard.

The announcement of the coming
engagement in this city of John Grit
fifth on December % carries with it
a great deal of interest to the best
class of theatre-goers and this inter-
est is intensified by the fact that he
will present Shakespeare's immortal
tragedy King Richard the Third"
Mr.. Griffith's presentation of it will
have most adequate aid in the very
excellent scompany he has elected,
and the splendid fireproofed scenic
equipment furnished by his manage
ment. Many novel and thrilling
electrical effects and chemical illu-
sions have been added and the per-
Torrance in its entirety will be the
most important event in the seasons
theatrical history. Mr.. Griffith is
personally most interesting charac-
ter, a combination of the mental and
physical. In appearance he suggests
the peerless Edwin Foster and'has the
frame and strength of the champion
pugilist, James j. Jeffries, while
mentally he is one Of the greatest
students of the day of classic litera
ture, and is fairly a crank on the
works of the divine bard, Shakes
peare.

to this project and which l did not
have until you made your statement
to the department a few days ago
and which you nave supplemented by
both written and oral communica-
tons since. Yours truly,

Chief Of Police Winces Under Re-

Judge Mcbride.
TOLD TO ENFORCE THE LAW
Court Talks Plainly. Case Given to jury
At S O'clock Last Night. No Verdict
at 4 O'clock A. NJ, Today. Court Is
Adjourned Until Tuesday.

At 4:30 o'clock this morningthe jury
in the case of John Stephenson, which
has been closeted since O'Clock last
evening had returned no verdict. Unless
conclusion is reached early today the
jury will probably be discharged and an
other panel selected. The case against
Stephenson was resumed again yester-
day.
The principal witnesses were Chief
Of Police Hallock, Captain Of Police
Gammel and Officers Thompson and Will
son. In addition to these there were
number of boys. District Attorney
Harrison Allen built up a strong chain
of evidence for the prosecution. In his
testimony Chief of Police Hallock ven.
tured the assertion that he had seen
not only the undesirable element, but
representative people of. the city in the
dance halls. This occasioned the query
from Judge Mcbride;
"Are you aware Mr.. Hallock, that a
city ordinance exists which prohibits
women drinking and dancing in houses
of this characterf"
"Yes," responded Hallock. Attorney
Noland arose and stated that no such
ordinance existed. Hallock explained
that he thought that the ordinance ap.
piled to saloons and not to dance halls.
81 take this opportunity" said the
Court, "of informing you that the ordi-
nance has reference to those particular
places and in future 1t win be we'll for
the officers of the city, whose duty II
is, to see that the laws are enforced,
as it will save the county considerable
expense" The testimony of Gammel
and the police officers went to show that
the dance halls were typical baudy
houses. StephensOn's attorneys, after
arguing the case, rested without offering
and defense. In instructing the jury,
Judge Mcbride said that while the pros
ecution was allowed to show the pre-
else character of the dance hall, the jury
must specifically understand that the
evidence should be confined to the night
of June 20, in so far as the defendant
