In "The Stronger Sex" at the Grand,
December ).
Maude Fealy 10 to be congratulated on
the selection of her play for the present
season as Manager John Cort secured for
her use the great English comedy drama,
1.-THE Stronger Sex" which was the
much talked Of play of the English stage
during the past year. Its great run Of
seven months at the Appollo Theatre,
London, and the fact that it literally
packed that playhouse at each perform
ance during that period, easily proclaims
it worthy vehicle for presentation here.
After playing many Of the larger cities Of
the west it will be brought to New York
after the holidays, where it will settle
down for long run at one OF the leading
Broadway theatres.
"The Stronger Sex" will be at the Grand
theatre next Tuesday night.

Charles FrOham'S Merry Musical Sue.
cess at the Grand,

"The Rollicking Girl" which has
gained the record as being one Of the
prettiest, laughter creating, and catchy
musical attractions on tour this season,
is the pleasing announcement for the
Grand Thanksgiving matinee and night.
This jolly musical melange has gained
its reputation principally for the quality
of its music and legitimate comedy.
The musical hits in the production are
many, and whistled the country over.
There is certain effervescence, snap and
60 to the piece and a consistent and
pleasing story running through 1.-THE
Rollicking Girl" that is seldom found in
this class OF entertainment.
That clever German comedian, Snitz
Edwards, is the principal fun.maker in
his humorous character study Of the fun.
ny wig.maker. and it is a rarity when
comedians are offered as much scope for
continuous laughter in part az Mr.. Ed
wards is able to extract in this role.
1.-THE Rollicking Girl" the title role of
which is played by Lila Blow, and its
large company which enjoyed the phe.
nomenal run OF $50 nights last season at
the Herald Square Theatre, New York
City, is sure to prove the musical treat
OF Manager Benn's season.

Mrs. Ethel Todd was interviewed
at her home in Hoquiam, and did not
appear surprised at the Abel story,
simply saying, Yes. have seen the
Abel story in regard to what Steele
said and am not surprised as I ex-
pected something would be said of
this nature. l have nothing to saw.
as there is nothing to say and 1
know the only thing I can do is to
stand and take what is said about
me-"
In the Bulletin last evening, its
Hoquiam correspondent (presumed
to be the county coroner), who seems
to hold a brief for Mrs. Todd, seeks
to give the impression that she was
under hypnotic influence from Steele.
The influence must have been a sort
of absent treatment when she was
in Aberdeen trying to engage counsel
for the defense of Steele, the latter
then being in the Montesano Jail.
County Attorney Boner and Mar
shall McKenney still take a sort of
the public be id attitude. and
seem to ask, what are you going to
do about 1t. AS suggested by the
Herald Monday, grand jury called
for the purpose would bring out the
truth Of this mismanaged case. 1t is
doubtful If any other county in the
state would consent to permit a
crime of this nature to go without
the fullest investigation.

DREDGER PACIFIC
Now on the Marine Ways.
and Will Soon be at
Work Deepening
the HarbOr.

The steam dredger Pacific, belonging
to the North American Dredging Co..
which arrived from San Pedro a few days
ago. is op the marine ways at the Lind
strom Go. shipyard. Her hull will be
cleaned and all necessary repairs made
before commencing the work of deepen.
ing the harbor.
This dredger is the largest Of her class
in the world. She was bnilt in Tacoma
in 1908, and did her first work at that
place. where she removed 8 3,OOO, 900 yards
OF earth for the Northern Pacific railway.
From there she steamed to Honolulu,
and was employed by the government,
making the trip there and return, under
her own steam, making an average OF 10
knots an hour on the round trip.
The hull is l65 feet long, 80 feet beam
and IA feet depth of hold. She has one
25-inch centrifugal pump. The shell ol
the pump is 10 feet, 6 inches In diameter
and it's 6ftings weigh 25 tons. The main
engine that drives the pump is 4.cylin-
der triple expansion, developing 140O
horse power, her auxiliary engine deyel-
oping 400 horse power additional. These
engines are geared high enough to cut an
eight'inch nickel steel shaft. The long
spars or spuds used in holding the dredg-
ing machinery range from 60 to rs feet
in length, those to be used here being rs
feet long and q inches square, and are
equipped with 4-ton cast iron point, in
addition to which there lie a large iron
cap on top weighing ton.
When at work the dredger carries a
crew OF from As to 90 men. while here
she will employ 45, and the job will take
at least 10 months.
The most interesting thing to the nov
ice is the cutters that dig out the mud
that is sucked into the pipe and distrib.
uted. The arms or ladders that reach to
the bottom are made of iron and each of
the two weigh so tons. At the bottom
Of the ladder is cup-shaped attachment
fitted with Immense knives, and as the
cup revolves, the attached knives cut in.
to the mud, which is sucked up into the
pipe.
Captain Peters, who is in charge, has
been with the company since it was or.
ganized in 1908. Three years of that
time he was employed on the Atlantic
coast on the dredger Atlantic. deepening
the rivers of Texas, Florida and Georgia,
and during the last year he has been on
the Pacific.

CITY COUNCIL PROPOSES One TO
500 INHABITANTS.
Quarterly Payment Of Licenses Is
Turned Down. Excessive Street
Assessment. South Aberdeen
Water System. w. w. Hart Elect
ed Councilman for Third Ward.

Acting Mayor Mlpes dispatched
the business of the city council with
a celerity worthy Of imitation by
Mayor France. In the absence of
Clerk Clark, Roy c. Sargent was
chosen to act in his stead.
OF the business before the city leg
islature last night, the matter of sa-
loon licenses held the prominent
place. Two applications were filed
for licenses on the quarterly payment
plan, when Chairman Ingram, of the
judiciary committee, reported in fav-
or Of laying on the table the ordi-
nance providing for thet method of
payment, which was adopted, z to 4.
There ensued general discussion
of this question, during which Jones
moved that an ordinance be prepared
limiting the number of saloons to
one to each 500 Inhabitants, which
carried. A sufficient number of
members to carry the proposition
seemed to favor the quarterly pay
ment plan II the number of saloons
was limited, and 8 per cent. interest
paid on the deferred payments.
On recommendation of the street
committee, box sewer was ordered
across street in South Aberdeen,
and 20-foot plank road built on B
street between Market and Second.
The matter of an excessive street
assessment on Division street, was
referred to the attorney and engi-
neer.
The matter of whether the owner
or city should pay for bridge at
Sixth and l. streets, was discussed
without action.
The matter of outlawed street as
sessments being taken off the coun-
ty tax rolls, was referred to the street
committee and attorney. McDougall
and Bowes appeared to favor going
back to the old plan, that kept the
city treasury depleted for years, by
having street crossings paid for by
the city, but the suggestion met with
frost.
The matter of temporary water
pipes where streets are being graded
was referred to the water committee.
Contractor Nelson was allowed
$1,95S for planking the trestle on
the bluff road.
The matter of signal lights on
North Aberdeen bridge was referred
to the committee.
The subject of the size of reser-
voirs and mains and other details of
the South Aberdeen water system,
was referred to the engineer and the
special committee.
The Chehalis Produce Company
was given permission to erect barn
in East Aberdeen.
Waldo w. Hart was elected to fill
the vacancy on the council caused
by the resignation of Shelley.
Councilman Franklins election
was ratified, for fear the election may
have been void by reason of Sher-
wood and Shelley voting, when their
seats were legally vacated.

TWO JAPANESE
HURT IN COLLISION

In collision between a japanese
swill wagon and Rapid Transit car
last night at the corner of Kalakaua
avenue and King street, two Japanese
were injured, neither seriously. The
accident occurred about half-past seven
o'clock, the rigs being driven towards
town and crossing the track at the
King street corner just in time to con-
meet with a car Waikiki bound. The
wagon was struck on one side and the
swill contents hurled in all directions,
the rig overturned and the two drivers
thrown for some distance, both being
knocked unconscious in the fall.
When picked up it was found that
the worst-injured japanese had re-
ceived a sprained ankle and had had
several of his teeth knocked out. The
other was only bruised, although he
may have received internal injuries.
Both were taken to the Queens Hos
pitaI.
The car mixed up in the accident is
number A and the only thing that
could be learned about the injured
Japanese is that one of them is en-
pIoyed by Captain J. Ross of Waikiki.

scene cut from the "Geisha Girl' or
''Mikado'' opera. Back and forth be-
fore the altar the bright costumed lit
tie damsels danced, fan in one hand
and green branch waving gracefully
in the other. Through figure after
figure, slowly and sinuously, glided
the bare-footed dancers. keeping time
to the clashing cymbals and the
throbbing drums. All together, in
pairs and singly the little dancers paid
their worship to their god, while
around them the droning priests pray
ed and without the building hundreds
of other worshipers clapped their
hands in signal, dropped in prayer and
tossed their nickels and their dimes
into the yawning chest.
Several times during the day was
