CHORUS GIRL FAMINE
STRIKES Los ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, April 9.--Los An
geles is in the throes of a chorus girl
famine and one theater advertised to-
day for female impersonators to re-
place departing coryphees and song
birds. Relief was promised in infor,
nation from San Francisco last night.
Chorus girls from that city are ex-
pected to arrive during the week,
lured by the famine salaries that now
prevail.
One theater that produces musical
comedies was reduced to one chorus
girl last night
The cause of the dearth is said by
managers TO be the multitude of musl
cal comedy stock companies in the
city. Six theaters are using chorus
girls and other companies are being
formed for the summer season at the
beach resorts, These have consumed

SOME LuplcRous ERRoRs-

Tricks of the type are often anus,
ing and always ex9sperating. The
Rockland Courier-Gazette, for IN
stance, in telling the story of the
Equitable fire, said that an official VINO
got imprisoned in a vault and was
rescued was observed heating his
hands against the bars" 1t meant
beating of course, but the correc-
ton could not be made before a sharp
correspondent picked it up and want
ed to know whether the man got his
hands cold by handling cold cash or
watered securities which had frozen.
At the same time it comes out that in
the same issue, where the editor had
written THE rings of Saturn" it ap.
peared in print as The wings of

ago it was attempted to say that the
crops in the northwestern part OF

matinee, first among them being the
sketch of AL H. Hallet and company,
produced for the weekend bill partic-
ularly for the afternoon patrons. In
this sketch Miss Howe wears one OF
the most exquisite gowns seen locally
for some time, it being a velvet Gre
alton trimmed with genuine black
Viennese lace, and is the admiration
of the feminine members of the audi
ences. Another item for the matinee
that will appeal particularly. to the
younger element is the first presenta-
ton of the original Mutt and JeA'
pictures, made famous in the comic
sections of the Hearst papers of the
mainland, while an Indian picture
will be shown to give the youngsters
an opportunity to cheer, which, in
itself, has become a pleasing feature
of the Liberty's matinees.
Hamlin and Mack, the dancers, and
John P. Rogers in songs, together
with AL Hailett in sketches, and five
reels of pictures, complete a program
that appears to be forth while.

At SEA-
HELD INNOCUOUS

NEW YORK, April 1,-Prof. Theo-
dore Neff of the University of Chic
ago believes it is most reprehensible
for young people to spoon in the
on the deep Atlantic. At
least, he carried his convictions 50
far that he appeared as a complainant
against four young women and three
young men who were on the grill
at Ellis island Saturday before a
board of special inquiry, following
their arrival Friday evening on the
Koenigin Louise. The professor was
also a passenger on the Koenigin
Louise, returning from the Mediter,
ranean.
AS the story was told to the immi-
grafton inspectors who boarded the
steamship at quarantine, the seven
young persons behaved indecorously
en- the transatlantic voyage. Two OF
the young men in the party, that al
ways kept to itself, are officers IN the
kaiser's army, while one Of the young
women proved herself to be an Amer
lean citizen, thereby securing imme'
date immunity from the spooning-on'
deck charge
Prof. Neff was one of the cabin
passengers whose years o; maturity
prompted them to appeal 10 the cap
tain to stop the lovemaking on deck
and he was also the first to speak tc
the immigration officials, saying that
young women and young men who
would annoy other passengers by
their cooling and billing on deck %er'
not desirable aliens to be admitted
TO this country. The officials, how
ever, did not look with frowning eve
On the story and Prof Nef left to
Chicago today after a futile cam

PINcHoT SAYS IT'S

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Giffard
PinchOt last night gave out copies of
correspondence between himself and
Senator La Toilette relative to Mr..
Pinchot's withdrawal es a supporter of
the Senator and his subsequent SUP.
port of Colonel Roosevelt.
Mr.. Pinchot in his letter to Senator
La Toilette, which was written on Feb.
ruary II, told the Senator that 'the
success of the progressive principles
now requires me to advocate the nom.
ination of Colonel Roosevelt.
Mr.. Pinchot wrote that the resolu.
ton passed by the progressive Repub.
licans at Columbus in January declar.
ing for Robert M. la Toilette, Theo.
dore Roosevelt, or any other progress.
sive Republican" was suggested by
Mfr. Houser the Senator's manager.
Mr.. Pinchot criticises the Senator
course in his campaign which he de
clares has been abandonment of the
main purpose for which the "progres
sive group was organized" and says
that Manager Houser himself, soor
after January 20, declared that he
feared the Senator's course, if followed
out, would result in his going to the
Chicago convention with only Wiscon
sin delegates, and probably a divided
delegation from there.
Pinchot's letter closes with the oh
servation that he believes Senator Ii

for the board of trade to sell what

New Industries.
Several new industries are to be

preparing to open a general machine
shop at Waiakea and the Won Hamm-

for a location on which to erect an up
to-date garage and automobile show
room. A new bakery has recently
opened, and sundry small enterprises
are being inaugurated, all signs OF
the progression of Hilo.
Contractor Wilson has already
started actual work on the construc.
ton of the belt road between Hilo
and Hakalau and reports that he has
all the labor he needs. The Philadel.
phia Breakwater Company will start
operations in the near future and it
is hoped that the construction of the
wharf in Kuhio Bay will not long be
delayed. The Hilo Railroad Compa.
ny's extension is progressing toward
Laupahoehoe. Already the track has
reached Honohina, 1873 miles from
Hilo, and a regular train service will
be established to that point on May

for those desiring any for the next
twelve months at least and in the
meantime Hilo is steadily growing.

'HILO PEOPLE HAVE THEIR SENSE
OF SECURITY SADLY SHAKEN

HILO, April 19.-An epidemic of
petty 'burglaries has broken out in
Hilo, but fortunately in no case were
the losses of any magnitude. The
thieves visited eight houses during
the past two weeks, stealing a few
dollars from the pockets of Deputy
Sheriff Fetter, visiting Tailor Maby in
the privacy Of his bedroom, disturbing
the rest of Deputy County Attorney
Heen, and paying nocturnal visits to
several others. The police have been
unable to place their hands on the
perpetrators of the thefts, but when
one member of the force, according
to the Hawaii Herald, is found asleep
in the markets, this is hardly to be
wondered at. Hilo has long had the
reputation of being well-protected
town; indeed, many of the residents
still retire for the night leaving the
doors and windows on the latch, but
