 Regarding Rudds point that the West Haven officers had no right to place him under arrest Judge WilkIn- son last night said he could make no statement on. the matter before the trial, Tho fact that he held the man under Sl00 bonds however leads to the assumption for the present at least that the arrest was perfectly legal.

 full Climax to Long Fight. ....
SPEECHES ARE INAUDIBLE

London, June 21.-Favored by beauti- ful weather and displaying totally un- expected genius for organization, the lsuffragettes' demonstration in Hyde Park today was an unparalleled suc- cess, Encouraged by previous successes. the suffragettes planned todays dem Ionstration as a climax In the year s fight for women's suffrage. It is hard l ly too much to say that never was such a political demonstration seen In London before,
 Fully half million people assembled in and around Hyde Park as active or passive participants In the great meet Ing, while for two or three hours In the middle of the day the whole centre of the city was in a ferment. Various lprocesslons appeared, each about mile in length, and the routes through which these passed were densely crowded with spectators.
 The suffragettes from the provinces were met at the various railroad sta tlons by delegations from the London Organization and these, rorming them selves into line, marched from differ ent points of the compass to Hyde Park. Arriving there, the leaders and speakers for the various sections had literally to fight their way to the plat ' forms.
 Probably there were about twenty speakers in all and these harangued the masse on the right of women tC vote and the necessity of forcing par lament to adopt q resolution on the question. These women's demonstra- tions are far more attractive from Q spectacular point of view than those held by men. Almost all of the suf- 1 fragettes wore white dresses with sashes of their colors, green, white and purple, inscribed Vote for women and the scene as viewed from the plat forms was quite feast of color, There was much good humored chafiing and the singing of songs in the vicinity oi the platforms and on this account the speeches practically were inaudlble.
 The attitude of the onlookers was one of amused tolerance. Ambulances were kept busy dealing with cases of faint ing and minor injuries. owing to the great pressure of the crowds, but nt serious accidents occurred
 Considerable scuflling and rowdyisn occurred around the platform occupied by Mrs. Parkhurst, the leader of the suffragettes, and 1t finally became st serious as to need endorsements oi police Thirty persons were treated fol slight injuries as a result of the crowd ing. Similar scenes were enacted around Mrs, Marters platform and owing t' the general noisy Interruptions few ol the speakers were able to get hear ing,

NOT MUCH DANGER
Of FIRE IN SCHOOLS

From the absence of heating devices
in Honolulu schools, l. M. Cox of the
Education Department believes there
is little danger of fire in them. With
the exception of the High and Normal
schools, none have chemical laborato-
ries to cause danger. The larger
schools have a system of fire drills.
Most of the city schools have three or
more exits and the doors swing out
ward. In the two-story buildings there
are two stairs to the second floor,
one at each end, excepting the Kalihi-
waena school, and this is being ex-
amined with a view to having another
stairway constructed.
Some months ago the Board of Ed
ucation discussed the matter of fire
protection and had the assistance of
Fire Chief Thurston in the investiga-
ton as we'll as in giving instructions
to teachers. The Normal and Kalihi-
waena schools have fire hose and noz-
zles in constant readiness, in the use
of which some of the larger boys are
Instructed. In the single-f1oOr school
houses of the country there is little
danger from a panic, as open windows
as we'll as doors would give speedy
exit to the pupils.

One day a young woman boarded a
bus on the Fifth Avenue stage line
and hurriedly extracted from her
purse the nickel to deposit in the fare
box. Among the coins she had was a
ffve-dollar gold piece. After she had
Slipped the coin into the box, she hap
pened to feel in her purse to make
sure that the gold piece was still there.
It was not. She did not know what to
do, for it was practically all the money
she had, so she begged the driver to
open the box, but he was adamant. She
would have to travel to the end of the
line, he said. At this point the other
passengers Joined in her protest, and
one courteous old gentleman offered
her a five-dollar bill. saying that he
was willing to ride to the terminus and
secure the lost coin. The young woman
accepted his offer gratefully, as she
was in hurry to catch a train, but
before she had gone very far, in
searching for the money for her ticket,
what should she find but the half-eagle
hidden in the meshes of her purse.
The next day she did the only thing
possible-went to the stable of the bus
company and asked if the old gentle
man had left his address. NO,
ma am replied the agent, politely.
He only said 'Stung again. -

.ALF GOULD|NG
DOES WONDERS
His Work With LiIliputians Is
Largely Responsible for
Success.

Some people define genius as only a
capacity for hard work, but they mis-
take the effect for the cause. Hard
work is one of the effects of genius.
Aft. Goulding is a genius. He is the
man who trains the Eilliputians for the
stage. When you see the Lilliputians
You really see Aft. Goulding.
Watch the little people in the process
Of learning and you'll soon discover
that. Every word of the operas they
learn from him; every gesture; every
shade Of expression. Whether it's
dancing, prancing, talking. walking,
coquetting or fun-making, it's all
| Goulding. He teaches them to love, to
scold, to grin1ace, to smile, to do the
right thing at the right time. The
snap and go of the youngsters all
comes from Goulding. He knows ev-
cry word of the entire eleven operas
in the repertoire of his company. He
could say each one backwards if need
were-he knows them so perfectly He
uses no book as promoter-he knows
every word by heart. He never makes
a mistake.
When child forgets it's lines Could
ing supplies the proper word instantly.
He watches every movement. Nothing
escapes him. He is everywhere about
the stage at once-omnipresent He
sees the least false step and a snap
of his fingers stops the rehearsal until
it is done perfectly. He instructs the
tiny actors in each glance and gest.cu-
lation. He leaves no touch undone
that will make for the more artistic
rendition of the opera. The Heintz
twins and Teddie Mcnamara are in
reality mimics of ALI. Goulding. The
girls get their facial expressions from
him. Whether it's the ballet or the
clog dance, Goulding teaches all. He
can say truly, with Hilarius, Its my
work, all my work" But he doesn't
say anything, for Goulding is one of
the most modest young men imagin
able.
Goulding has been with the Lillipu-
tan Opera Co. since he was six years
old. He comes from a fine Melbourne
family. During his career as a LiIli-
putian he was comedian in the COM
pany, occupying the same position as
Teddy Mcnamara now does, and he
was the cleverest comedian the COM
pany ever had. He developed such re-
markable executive talent that, at the
age of sixteen, he was made stage di-
rector of the company, replacing an
experienced man of forty. He is d
writer of great ability and has written
several comic operas. The liberetto of
Mother Goose" which will be pro-
duced this afternoon and evening, is |
entirely his. One of his operas will be |
produced next season of the company |
Remember, when you see the Lillipu- !
tians, that ALT. Goulding is 1.-The man |

At New York-Exercises Spoiled BY {
Drenching Rain.


New York, May 31.-A most constant
rain, ranging from drzzle to down
pour, made Saturdays observance of Me-
mortal day only a shadow of the elabo-
rate event which had been planned.
Even in the early morning the skies
were threatening and almost before the
first of the thousands of marchers and
holiday makers had stirred from their
homes, the first shower came. From that
time until the day was ended there was
scarcely a moment when the rain was
not falling. Sporting events on every
hand were Cancelled. but the inclem-
ent weather could not entirely dampen
the ardor of the gray haired veterans
and about 1000 Of them turned out
to take part in the three parades in
the greater city.
Later in the day the rain almost
prevented the other big event of the
day-the gathering at Grants tomb
at which Secretary Of War Taft de-
livered the principal address.
