Primarily the victory of the Alexan- der forces was due to a general movement of all the business men in Los Angeles.

 A subs diary fight of hardly less ia- terest and importance to Los An geles than the mayor lty battle, was the sudden injection of the Prohibi- tion question.

MISS LILLIAN RHODES
 4 NEW STAR HERE

portraying the role made famous by Viola Allen in "The White Sister, Miss Lillian Rhodes, a new star to Pine Bluff audiences, scored de- cided hit last night at the Elks Thea ter. In fact her interpretation of the part of Sister Giovanna was rare dramatic treat and compares most Tavorably with that of the work of Miss Allen in this city last year AL though the company supporting Miss Rhodes is not as strong as that which toured with Miss Allen last season, it is most capable one and should continue to sustain the reputation of the cast of 1910. Miss Rhodes is Philadelphia girl. She won recogni- ton from the producing managers last season in The Sixth Command ment" and critics say that her work In "The White Sister Is even more acceptable than her previous effort, otwithstanding the fact that she achieved her greatest success In last season bill. She is an attractive young woman with unusual dramatic talent, which she displayed to fine advantage last night. Her voice is of that quality that makes success ful emotional actress and her strong CT scenes last evening fnabled her to impress her audience with its cul- ture. It is relief to see play like The White Sister," the story of which so many are familiar with. after musical comedies and many of the lighter order of attractions. 1t is a wonderful play in which love and religion are wonderfully entWin- ed. It is uplfting-a sermon on the stage As presented last night it was dignifi7 d treat, dramatically speaking.

China Sea, en route to Hong Kong.

China Sea. hn route to Hong Kong.
Dear Bill:
After a trip on the British India
boat from Rangoon to Singapore, the
homelike comforts of a German boat
seei-e ed like moving our trunks from a
third-rate boarding house to the Plaza
Hotel.
The British boats are full of Com
forts" such as c~ockroaches and scor-
pions. They have no electric fans
and we slept on the decks. Then the
deck hands routed us out early so they
could clean things up.
On the German boat from Singapore
life is easy. On the first day Malays
dove from dugout canoes for coins.
They refused to go for coppers, which
shows how expensive travel in the Far
East has become.
One of the party of twelve Ameri-
cans lost twenty-three pounds (cash,
I mean,) Great on details. Talks
about his loss all the tine. Tells what
he was going to pay for when his loss
was discovered, what his wife said,
what everybody else said, kind OF
weather and what he had for break
fast on day of loss.
A member of the tourists party has
told me their troubles over a crock of
beer The party is pregnant with jeal-
