JAPS AT tLKS
HALL TONIGHT

The interesting little Jap, the
conqueror of the mighty Russians,
will give an entertainment at Elks'
temple this evening that should be
the greatest treat ever presented in
the city. The Jap in muscle play
is a sight worth going miles to see.
They wrestle their jiu jitsu much
like one sees a couple of school
boys, but it Is all done from a scien-
tific standpoint. There are 100000
starving japanese in the north of
Japan and they have appealed to
their brothers and sisters for aid.
The Spokane Jap is working hard to
raise money. Japanese men and
girls have come from Seattle to
participate in the entertainment.
There will also be singing dancing
and music.

duction of The Beauty and the

varied scenes make a panorama of

there was a hitch or two in the per-
Torrance last night, generally
speaking the chorus was most ex-
cellent. Barney Bernard is as clev-
er as ever and, as Lena" the royal
nurse, made a hit. Prince Charm

belle Underwood, who portrays that
character is as clever a little singer
as one would wish to hear in such
a play. Princess Beauty, while not
as pretty in face as the name would
seem to indicate, also has an at

The great scene of the piece is
the fourth scene in the second act

ballet of "The Four Seasons" is
presented. The flight of these beau

the work over at it's own expense.
AS it is, Mr.. Cowles will pay for it.

Calhoun Is Appealed To as
A Husband and Father in the
Latest Union Bulletin Issued

1t is as "an educated gentleman, a
husband and a father" that Patrick
Calhoun is appealed to in the latest
bulletin of the Garments Union. This
bulletin was issued last evening, and
Its primary purpose is TO acquaint Mr..
Calhoun with the decision reached at
the mornings mass-meeting of the
carmen. 1t quotes in full the resolu-
ton adopted at the meeting and aug
ments the inclusion with a para
graph or the communication addressed
to the company's president on August

to return to work and agree to arbi-
company would pay the wage asked
Immediately. These formal extracts of
proceedings occupied the first page of
the letter.
1t was on the second page that Mr..
Calhoun's character was established
beyond cavil. And 1t was in expressing
the idea that such an ideal person
Ality as Mr.. Calhoun would naturally
have a repugnance for the Infamous
James Farley that the testimonial of
regard reaches it's climax.

proved by our full membership, we
wrote:
