.CITy'S OLDEST
PICTURE THEATER

The Art is the oldest of the present
day moving picture theaters in Ho-
nolulu. Located on Hotel street near
Fort, it is close to the center of the
evening crowds i'm the streets. That
in itself has proved a big card for
the Art. Another thing that early
brought in into popularity was its
matnees for ladies and children,
carefully selected popular programs
being put on every afternoon.
Mr.. Lawson and Mrs. Bailey (now
Mrs. Amy founded the Art, and also
the Gaiety, in TIilo. From the start
it was a success. More than two years
ago the Auditorium, a big theater to
be run in connection with the Art,
was projected and now stands in an
unfinished state back of the Art. 1t
may be stated right here that this
Auditorium now stands in a fair way
to be completed in the near future
and will give to Honolulu another
elegant amusement center.
Mr.. Lawson, who has charge of the
Art, is an experienced theatrica
manager. He knows the wants o.

Thus the Novelty has grown In po-

The chief item of interest in the
change of bill at the Novelty Theater
on Thursday evening, was the first
appearance in Honolulu of George w.
Stanley Stanley has an excellent
singing voice, and besides this he
has the merit of enunciating clearly,
which enables him to be heard dis
cinctly in every part of the house.
He has a pleasing appearance, and
looked neat in a tuxedo. His first
song was a ballad, which he rendered
in manner that obtained for him
an enthusiastic recall With a few
additions such as an old SLOUGH hat,
ard a banGanna handkerchief thrown
across mis- shirt front he transformed
himself sufficiently to lend assistance
to his character song as an Italian.
His imitation of an Italian who
had not thoroughly grasped the Eng
fish language was good, and the song
that he sang was clever He was
also warmly applauded for this con-
tribution. Stanley should enhance
mis- popularity, and there is not the
slightest doubt of his success durina

CONTRACTORS BELIEVE
STRIKE NEARING END
Many Building Trades Refuse to
Leave Their Work On
Request

CHICAGO, July 27.-Eforts to have
the carpenters, electrical workers, plas-
terers, bricklayers, hosting engineers
and laborers join in the building trades
strike were without success tonight,
and contractors declare the attempted
general strike has fizzled out. The un-
ions which refuse to take part in the
trades war are the strongest, numer-
ically, in the Chicago building industry.
1t is said that fewer than 1000 men
have responded to the strike call.
A general strike of building trades
had been decided upon at today's con-
ference of thirty-seven unions, which
met in a final effort to obtain settle
ment with the Otis Elevator company.
The cause of the strike was the re-
fusal of the Otis Elevator company to
remove machinists from elevator con-
struction work, the American Fedora
ton of Labor having held this line OF
work to belong strictly to elevator con-
structorS.
1t is understood the company has
contracts on thirty-two big buildings
now in course Of construction, and that
work will be stopped on all of them.
Eight hundred men did not wait FOR
the strike order to become effective at
s o'clock, but stopped work as soon as
notified by the representatives Of their
unions,

GUTHRIE WINS VICTORY
IN FIGHT FOR CAPITAL
Will Be Seat of Oklahoma Gov
ernment for Present

GUTHRIE, Okla, July 27.-Late this
afternoon the state supreme court
handed down q decision in the capital
removal case, to the effect that Okla
homa's capital shall remain at Guth-
ris until the legality of the election
recently held is determined and the
courts have settled the constitutional
question embraced in the provision of
the enabling act that Guthrie shall
remain the capital until 1913, and that
an election shall be held after that
time to establish permanent capital.
The decision today was rendered on
a writ of prohibition on the question
whether Judge Huston of the Logan
county district court had the right to
restrain Governor Haskell and other
state officers from moving their offices
and records to Oklahoma City.
Under the decision Judge Huston
acted within his rights when he issued
the restraining order against the state
officers.
Ii obedience to the decision all state
officials, other than the governor, who
have removed their offices to Okla
homa City, must return to Guthrie
and stay there until the courts have
finally decided the capital controversy.
The governor may go where he
plea 5es, but legally his official acts
must appear as having been performed
in Guthrie. 1t is not thought Gov
ernor Haskell will return to this city.

q WOUNDED; SCORE ARRESTED
Appeal to Sheriff Fails to Bring
an End 20 the Reign
of Strife
ASSOCIATED Press)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 27,-After
twenty hours delay, Mayor Marshall
tonight made a formal call on Cover
nor Harmon for troops to be used in
putting an end to riots in connection
with the street car strike.
Until the troops arrive, the mayor
says cars will not be permitted 10 run.
For the first time since the strike
began there was daylight rioting to-
day. The riots continued tonight A
score of arrests were made. -Four per-
sons were hurt and one may die.
Mayor Marshall earlier in the day
sent n communication to the sheriff of
Franklin county declaring:
II feel that have exhausted all the
means within my power to preserve
the peace in Columbus following the
strike of the street car men and should
conditions grow worse 1t will be impos-
sible for me to preserve the peace. 1
therefore request that you furnish me
such help in this city as lies within
your power"
The sheriff thus far has taken no
action.
Mayor Marshall said earlier in the
day that he had decided not to call for
troops today in the street car strike
situation and that his action depended
on developments as to whether he
would make such a call.
The order to have troops move to
Columbus was issued tonight.

Trustees Find President of Chico
Normal Not Guilty of I'M
proper Conduct,
VOTE OF THE BOARD IS 3 TO 2
Hold Educator Did Not Try to Hug
Miss Clark and Sustain
Reputation
(Asaociated Press)

CHICO, July 27.-Dr. G. c. Van Lew,
president of the state normal school OF
Chico, was exonerated tonight by a
majority Of the school trustees of the
charges preferred by Governor Gillett
that he had been guilty of improper
conduct and that his general reputation
was not good. A motion to dismiss the
charges and that the defendant be
exonerated was made by Trustee j. F.
Campbell of Colusa and seconded by
Trustee e. A. Warren Of Chico. Cliff
ford Coggins' affirmative vote gave DR..
Van LEW a majority of the board.
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion Hyatt and F. J. O'Brien voted
against the motion.
Hyatt contended that the story of
Ada Clark, the pupil who claimed that
Van Lew put his arms around her
waist while she was in his office, had
not been disproven. OBrien, on the
other hand. said he did not think the
girls story had been sustained, but that
in his opinion the charge that the de-
ftndant's reputation was bad one had
been held up by the testimony.
The trial of DR.. Van Lew has been
in progress for the last week and has
been followed with great interest. To-
days proceedings were taken up en-
tirely by extensive arguments of the
attorneys.
Attorney General Webb, in his sum-
ming up for the prosecution, devoted
little attention to the testimony ad-
duced at the trial, but laid great
emphasis on what he termed the grav-
ity of the charge and the need of a
decision that would best conserve the
interests of the school, He appealed to
the public to accept as final the decis-
ion of the board.
Attorneys Yell and Seymour for the
defense made extended arguments, en-
tering. into a minute analysis of the
testimony in an endeavor to show that
the Clark girls story was improbable,
even ridiculous, they declared. They
advanced the theory that the motive
which had actuated the girl in bringing
her charge against Van Liew was an
excuse for leaving school. She had not,
they said, realized the momentous eff
feet of her accusation. Little time was
devoted by either to the testimony
given relative to the defendants al
legged use of intoxicating liquor, both
asserting that the evidence on that
point was SO slight as not to require
serious consideration.

Arizonan Becomes Exhausted in
Surf at Venice-Wife Puts

VENICE, July 27.-Mark 3. Thomp-
son, young attorney of Las Cruces
N. NJ, was saved from drowning in the
surf here at $50 o'clock this after
noon by his friend, Robert C. Gortner,
with whom he was enjoying a swim.
Charles Harding and Charles d. Ly-
ford, passing the point where Thomp-
son was in distress, shed their cloth
ing and swan to the assistance of
Gortner, who had seized hold Of his
friend and was experiencing difficulty
in bringing him to safety. Thompson
swallowed a quantity of salt water
and suffered considerably from the
shock, so he was i'll from his exper-
ience tonight.
The Thompson and Gortner families
are passing the summer at % Brooks
avenue, only a short distance from the
beach. The two men went to take a
swim befor~ dinner, which their wives
were preparing. While anxiously
awaiting their return the bell on one
of the life saving signal posts was
rung vigorously by a little girl who
said she heard a man calling for help.
Mrs. Thompson, hearing the alarm,
ran to the beach, and seeing her hus-
band helpless in the water, rang the
bell frantically, while a large crowd
gathered. The Venice life savers were
notified, but the distance was so great
that when they arrived Gortner, Hard
ing and Lyford had rescued Thomp-
son. The life savers did good work
in resuscitating Thompson, who was
almost unconscious.
Although greatly elated over her
husbands rescue, Mrs. Thompson said
she regretted deeply the fact that he
could not partake of a mess of fried
onions which she had prepared and of
which he is especially fond. She set
her foot down solidGy and declared
that Mark shall never take another
swim in the Pacific"

CLOTHESLINE SAVES $50
POUND MAN FROM FLAMES

NEW YORK, July 27.-Trapped by a
fire on the top floor of a four-story
building, an hour or two before day
light today, Joseph Corranti, a 800
hound watchman slid three stories
down a clothesline to safety. The
clothesline was made available for his
use by the quick wit of shoemaker, a
tenant, on the fourth floor of an ad-
joining building.
When Corranti appeared at a rear
window, shouting for help, the shoe
maker cut the line which ran from a
pulley on the rear of the burning
building to his window, looped one end
so it would catch on the pulley and
pulled on the rope until it was fast,
then let go. Corranti grabbed it and
slid earthward down the frail rope.
When about ten feet from the roof of
a one-story shed the cord broke, and
he fell the rest of the way, but the
strands had held long enough to save
his life.
The fire caused loss of about $5O,OOO
