Family Theater to Open.-The bill
for the opening of the new Family
theater formerly the Crystal Monday
evening under the management nf
Harry Blocker, is exceptionally at
ractive, including the following:
Wright, Huntington and company,
comedy sketch, direct from the o.
pheum circuit; Delphina and Delmora.
| European comedy musical act; NJ.
and Mrs. Mussey, comedy ventriloquHt
sketch artists; Martins dog and mon
keys, including the only baboon doing
roller skating act, and Mrs. Mae Rich
ards Casey, in Illustrated song. Pro-
fessor Stoner has charge of the or,
chestra and Professor Shank of the
moving pictures and illustrated songs.
"The Grand Mogul," the Show Beau
tifuI.-"The Grand Mogul," Pixley and
Luder's latest joint effort which Klaw
& Erlanger have made their great
musical production of the present sea
son, represents the very acme of up
to-date musical comedy of the highest
order. The first act is true musical
comedy; all the scenes. incidents, COM
plications and participants being
strictly modern, up-to-date, and true
to life. At the end of the first act the
principals are suddenly, though logi-
cally, transported to another country
where they are confronted by comic
opera conditions and surroundings.
The second act thus becomes comic
opera played by musical comedy
cast, and the third act shows the
overthrow of comic opera and the re-
establishment of modern musical corl-
edy. AS these changes are brought
about consistently, the resulting story
affords endless funmaking, couple
with music of the utmost diversity
klaw & Erlanger have provided an ex-
EXCEPTIONALLY brilliant company which
introduces Frank Moulan at the head
'of the cast. The production has al

It seems that there is going to
be something doing hereabouts in
the way of a fight for reduced
telephone rates. Several years ago
the Bell Telephone Comp a ny
bought out the Salisbury ex-
change, and began at once to Sim
prove" the servioe'and incidentally
of course to raise the price to those
who use the phones. The rates
for the old phones we're $500 for
business phones and $3.50 for
residence. This was sufficient for a
home company to make something,
but wherever or whenever a new
phone was put in the price hoped
up to $3.50for business and $500
for residence. This additional
charge was for the "improved'
service. The scent for the increased
rate has almost become so perfect
ed that the Bell people can tell
when a man is thinkig of moving.
The old phone is pulled out without
order, or notice, 30 quickly one
would think the building was on
fire and such haste was necessary
to save the building, or rather
only the phone.
The folks hereabouts have about
arrived at the conclusion that a
home company might also put in
some improved service and at the
same time save considerable by
doing So. Let's all pull for a
home telephone system!

We never took much stock i

We never took much stock in
the 2 IA cent rate law passed by
the last legislature. No consider
able number of people were clam
mering for reduced passenger
rates, while nearly every business
man ill the.State was hoping and
praying for relief from unjust and
discriminating freight charges.
Hence we are of the opinion that
the legislature did something it
ought not to have done and neg
lected to do that which it should
have done. However this may be,
a law was passed andlno one COM
panY or all of them combined,
should have refused to abide by
it, at least not without first giving
1t a fair,.trial and ascertaining
their ability to do business under
it's provisions. In this matter as
we'll as in others, we realize the
likelihood of authority-drunk
weaklings doing property interests
great injustice, and, that we often
become quite rebelious and some
what disposed to do some tall
kicking, yet, such .conduct will
not do when it comes to dealing
with the fundamental rights of a
sovereign State. But. should one
80 far forget himself and do said
tall kicking, the chances are he
has injured rather than helped
his cause. We feel sure that the
railway companies that have been
instrumental in having the federal
court issue an injunction against
the operation of this rate law,
have greatly injured their cause in
North Carolina for years to come.
We hope, however. some mutually
agreeable solution of the difficulty
may be reached.

PLAY FAST BALL
IN MORNING GAME

The second days games in the Ka-
lanianaole League took place yester-
day morning at Aa.a Park. Both con-
tests were full Of excitement and there
was a big crowd on hand to see the
first games in the morning which have
been played at Aala Park this season.
From the attendance yesterday it may
be expected that the new league viii
be a close rival for popularity with the
Riverside League, which plays in the
afternoons.
In the first game the Chinese A. G.
Jr. played the japanese A G. Jr., and
it took thirteen innings before a deci-
sion could be reached, the Chinese
managing to pull out. a run in their
half of the thirteenth, which brought
them the victory. The contest was
fast all through and new methods of
roofing were noticeable. 1t looks as
if each of the teams was about to
organize a Rooter's Club, which will
cheer them on to victory.
In the second game the Kamanuwai
A. C. crossed bats with the Twilight
A. C. Jr. The latter team had the
best of the argument, defeating the
Hawaiians by a score of 1879. The
game was full of hard batting, and
while the fielding was not as good as
in the first contest, the constant hit
ting kept the crowd on an uneasy
basis till the game was completed.
BERTHE McShane had the honor of
completing the first squeeze play
ever seen in Honolulu. He was on
third and stole home. the bali being
thrown in by the pitcher too late to
catch him. The Aala League in this
way has shown that it will take adj
vantage of the latest ideas in base
ball. even before the Honolulu Base
ball League players do.
The scores in detail:
