eighteen miles long. The Dyna
mite plant will be in the new
town. Town officers will be
elected at the town meeting tc

The Dynamite company has
been particularly interested in
this new town. as it is believed

tion can be avoided. It is even
said that if fair treatment is
accorded the company, the capa'
city of the plant will be largely
increased.

very quiet affair so far as this city
is concerned. Perhaps the interest
is most generally centered in the
contest for the Office of Municipal
Judge. Morgan and Warden the
opposing candidates are both work
ing quietly around the county.
Supervisors are also to be elected
from the six wards ia the city.
There is only one contest and that is
in the first ward where present Sup

be candidate for chairman and
Eben Olson, who was candidate for
sheriff last fall, and who occupied
the position of chairman of his town
for two years, will again try for the
honor. Erick Johnson, the present
incumbent of the office will probab-
lv be candidate for reelection.
Mr.. Johnson has been a good man
on the county board.
At Orienta Chairman Hopkins
will have no opposition. He has
handled the affairs of his town with
such an ab.sisy that there is no rea-
son why change should be made.
At OuIu George Vester has been
nominated for chairman and he will
undoubtedly be opposed by Andrew
Lauri the present occupant of the
office who has held the position
since the town was organized two
years ago. Mr.. Vester has been as
sesor of the town during the past
year.
T. Fl. Hughes the father of the

chairman of the newly created town.
George S. Barnes will undoubted-

Martin Rogan the chairman of the
town of Gable will again be returned
to his present position.
L. P. Anderson will have no op-

Colonel Tisdell Tells How
Sleepy Cow Saved the

President Goes OFF
During the Delay
BLOCKS HIS CARRIAGE

Colonel ". p Tisdell of Guatemala,
who has all but completed the con-
struction of the Trans -Guatemalan rail-
! way. passed through San Francisco
yesterday on his way to New York. He
! was in Guatemala at the time of the
Cabrera, and when seen at the Majestic
yesterday told af the attempt.
"A stupid, sleepy COW that would not
| get out of the way of the president S
carriage saved his life." said Colonel
Tisdell. THE assassins had timed the
arrival of the president exactly. They
had placed a bomb with a fuse seven
blocks from the palace gate after hav-
ing timed the exact speed Of the car
riage over the block for number of
days But they had not counted on
fate Intervening in the shape of a
Guatemalan COW which was being driv-
en- with small herd through an alley.
This particular COW numbered out into
the middle of the road and there stood
blocking the way of the presidents S
carriage.
"The herder rushed forward and
struck her with a whip. She then
I moved on and the carriage started for
ward just as a bomb exploded in front
of it The horses and coachman were
killed and an officer who was riding
with Cabrera was thrown into the air.
He fell directly into the hole made by
the dynamite. Cabrera was thrown out
of the carriage, but not injured. He
rushed to where his injured officer lay,
picked him up and carried him on his
shoulder seven blocks to the palace
There was one melodramatic event
connected with the capture of the as
sassins. Three of them were surround
ed in a house before they had an op-
portunity to escape. They climbed to
the roof, and in view of the crowd
gathered on the outside committed
suicide by cutting their throats.'
Colonel Tisdell says that the average
citizen in Central America is not
troubled in the slightest by passing
revolutions and does not even know as
much about them as the outside world.
THE revolutions are planned in quiet
cafes and carried out in the wilderness
as a general thing" said Tisdell. THE
planters and business men do not give
them a passing thought. The disturb
ances have absolutely no effect on busi-
| ness"

NOVELTY THEATER

Bernard Shaw's satire has given way
this week at the Novelty theater TO
romance. "a Lady Of Quality" treads
the boards; and Frawleys players in
medieval costumes are given an excel
lent chance to display their versatility.
Marie Shotwell, who impersonates Clo-
rinda Wildairs, the Lady of Quality and
heroine of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur-
netts book, plays the part of the i'm
pulsive, misguided but loving hoyden
with much spirit From the beginning,
when she is reared as a boy. brought
up among her fathers drunken COM
panions and knowing nothing of a
mothers care, up to the climax where
she kills Sir John Oxon, Miss Shotwell
shows a keen appreciation of charac-
ter that calls for display of diverse
emotions.
The play teens with the fullness of
life and has all the color and dash that
the swashbuck1ing period lends to a
story. The performers have been ex-
actingly rehearsed in their parts and
the FIVE acts of the drama are distinct
lively mounted. The costumes are also
worthy of special mention. no detail
having been overlooked that would add
to the effect of the stage pictures.
Besides Marie Shotwell, Henry c.
Mortimer. Edward Emery, Eugene
Reed. Walter Craven. Christine Hill,
Ethel Clayton and Lola May contribute
well enacted parts.

modest and their songs of the kind
that one hears at the Young Mems
Christian association star course en-
tertainments, but those very facts go
to indicate their ineligibility to score
heavily in vaudeville. On the other
hand, the Countess Olga-who proves
her title by wearing court costume
and Monsieur Paolo do score heavily in
vaudeville because her soprano and his
tenor are tinpanny and untutored and
most of their songs are of the sort
that finds vogue in the tenderloin and
exclusion from the family circle
Vaudeville is not to be blamed for
Its failure to afford safe anchorage to
the Misses Heinrich and Easter. Vau-
deville audiences judge in accordance
with their lights, and the ladies them
selves are to be censured for casting
their pearls of vocal melody before
people who prefer the cafe chantant,

Emil Hoch, an actor of cho:erfc faith

most of the comedy. When the truth is

attempt to interfere with the production
Of Peter PAN in Oakland, but that if
any trouble threatened he would at
once cancel the Oakland engagement
and make no effort to produce the play

That the majority OF Oakland citizens
are not in favor of too strenuous an
enforcement of the child labor law as
applied to stage children in the better
class of productions is evident from the
fact that with the opening of Peter

of the Macdonough theater in Oakland

I will simply cancel the engagement

Adams are given just as good care and
treatment as children in the best

they are tutored the same as any other
children would be. They have their
play time and their work time, and the
latter is made so pleasant for them that
they enjoy it.

OF MONARCH,
PRINCESS ALICE, IS HERE
Child of Island King Comes
to This City to Receive
an Education

Princess Alice Schlemer, the real live
daughter Of a king and the first lady
of the land in a north Pacific monarchy,
arrived in San Francisco yesterday un-
heralded and with no more pomp nor
circumstance than would have attended
the arrival of the daughter of a Pitts
burg steel magnate.
The Princess Alice of Laysan has not
come on a diplomatic mission, nor has
it been suggested that her visit is
prompted by desire to promote
friendly relations between the United
States government and the principality
where her father rules. She has simply
come to this country to attend school
and her name appeared on the passen-
ger list of the steamer Nevada as plain
Miss Alice Schlemer.
Princess Alice, as she is known in
the Hawaiian and surrounding islands,
is the daughter of John Schlemer, king
of the island of Laysan, one of a small
group lying In the north Pacific and
northwest of the Hawaiian islands.
While she is of royal blood and the
only heir TO her fathers throne, the
princess does not come of a long line
of kings, nor does the escutcheon of
her house bear the crest of oldtime
warriors. Hers is the heritage of a
new land ina new quarter of the
globe. and the reason that her father
is king Is because OF the chance which
made him the first white man to settle
on the lonely little island in midocean.
John Schlemer went to Laysan from
America years ago and located on the
island after undergoing the hardships
of trader among the unknown tribes
of the island groups He made it his
home because he loved it, and because
the people there appreciated his su-
perior knowledge and abilityAthey made
him their king. His rule has been
that of a dictator, but never that of
a tyrant. His daughter has been reared
among the people of the island as any
American girl would be reared at home,
but the homage due a princess is ac-
corded her always.
1t is the desire of her father that she
receive a thorough education in this
country. and she will soon enter a
school in this city to take up the
studies in which her father gave her
the elementary instruction.
