Eugene Walters Gripping Play Makes Deep Impression Upon Yester-
 days Audiences.

sThe. play with the punch is what New York critics called Paid in Full' when Eugene Walters play first ap- witnessed last nights production of the piece by the Poli Players are inclined to agree with the critics for Paid in It Is sordid and even brutal at times but the professionals say, "It gets over. The Poi Players did full jus tice to Walters lines. Every part was ably played and the authors meaning was well brought out.
 The story of the play is very timely so high and persons of small income look with longing eyes upon the 1uxur- ies possessed by the wealthy. Joe Brooks is an underpaid clerk who mar ried a girl accustomed to the best things in life. On his small salary Joe is unable to maintain an expensive es- is compelled to give up the things she had before her marriage.
 Joe notices this and his dissatisfac- tion is increased by the remarks of his mother-in-law, who thinks Emma made a mistake in marrying Joe. So he steals from his employer. Capt. money came from a raise in salary.
 Of course his theft is discovered but the cowardiy Joe in his effort to, es- cape prison begs his wife to go alone at night to Capt. Williams quarters and make terms with the captain. The would be unfair to teii it here. One of the sympathetic characters is Jim sy'' Smith, a rejected suitor for Elm mas hand, who still stays around to aid the young couple in their distress.
 Guy Harrington was excellent as Joe Brooks. He makes the character seem just the sort of cad the author in tended him to be. Al H.. Van -Beuren did himself proud in the sympathetic part of the easy going, ikeab1e Jim sy' Smith

 Frances Nordstronn in the opinion of many players. did the best acting of her local career in the role of Emma Brooks. She was sweet and natural. In some of her former parts which called for a certain amount of CO Quetry, there has been tendency to overact but happily this tendency wasA missing last night. In the big scene with Capt. Williams in the third act she was fine.
 Miss Jessie Pring1e was good as Mrs. Harris. the nagging motf1er-in-iaw and Miss Dorothy Bernard made a hit as the supercilious Beth Harris. Graham Kelsey did well as Sato, Capt. Will Hams Japanese valet

LOEW PLANNING TO
 INVADE FIELD OF LOCAL VAUDEVILLE?

While no definite authentication of the rumor could be secured from the Marcus Loew circuit managers today, there was appartnt1y well founded report that this organization is seek ing theatre property in Bridgeport for the erection of vaudeville house. Large real estate operators from New York. known to have theatrical con nections, visited many of the local dealers last week seeking property available for such purposes as those indicated. Options were considered on such property as the Curtis block. at the corner of Elm and Main streets, which includes the Arlington Hotel, and number of houses on Golden Hill street. The Hamilton shelton property on Fairfield avenue, extend ing back to Elm street was also in spected On this property it is under stood that MT. Polls agents had ne gotiated for an option before secur- ing the present site on Main street.
 Bridgeport has recently been thought a profitable field for the erection of vaudeville houses and that the Loew interests here is not a surprise 10 those acquainted with the show bus1- ness It is also stated that the Will liam Fox interests have viewed con ditions here as being favorable to their rapidly increasing wheel

 Winter Decoration For Graves.
 At this time of the year, after the frost has killed the summer blooming flowers on the graves in our family cemetery lot. we commence to think what suita b1e decoration we could have for these graves during the win ter time. There is nothing that makes a better appearance or lasts better than having the graves cover ed with beautiful green mountain laurel. The branches of laurel are stuck closely together into the ground. making a very neat green compact covering for the mound or grave. In order to have this work done it must be taken care of before the ground freezes up, for after that time it is utterly impossible to stick these twigs of laurel through the frozen earth. John Beck & Son have just received from the Berkshire Hills their first large carload shipment of this most beautiful winter evergreen. This well known firm makes a speciality of this work.

At present there are three hundred

Territorial station. There are still
some at the Federal station and a
number are on quarantine island.

of immigrants away tomorrow for the
plantations. There has been trouble
in getting steamers for such big lots
of people.
Three babies have been born at the
station and they are thriving well

FRIEDENBERG

George Friendenberg is in the hos
pital suffering from a slit side, the
work of a colored sailor aboard the
U. S. S. West Virginia. According to
a late report he is doing nicely.
1t appears that Friedenberg's wife
was seated in hack on River street
when the sailor passed by and made
an insulting remark. The lady re-
piled tartly and the coon thereupon
hit her ON the jaw.
Friedenberg, who was near by, re-
preached the sailor for his ungentle-
manly conduct and topped off his re-
Duke with right hook to the jaw
which laid the sailor low.
When he got up he numbered a
pocket knife and made a swipe at
Friedenberg's ribs with such telling
effect that he laid three or four of
them bare.
He then ran away, leaving behind
him but the sweet fragrance of his
deed and a hat in which was written
the name e. Conway"

The official statement of the delay in
the arrival of the transport Sheridan
was that she was foul That she is
four, there is no doubt, but it can
hardly be thought that this is the
whole reason for her taking nine days
to come here from San Francisco.
The real cause was in the machin-
cry room. The Sheridan was built in
1S92-nearly twenty gears ago-so
that it is reasonable to suppose that
there has been considerable diminu-
ton in her speed The Sheridan, said
an engineer yesterday, has been ~
ing at the docks for two months. Idle
ness does not improve her machinery
at all; in fact, it does more harm
than if it were being used, There
were three breakdowns on the way
over. At one time she was stopped
for four hours and forty minutes, and
on another occasion she was stopped
for five hours. In this way alone,
nearly ten hours were lost, Add to
this an unclean bottom, and there is
no mystery of the slow trip.
/ The engineroom staff developed
nerves at the bad condition Of the ma
chinery. The chief engineer grew ir'
ritable at the failure of his staff to
keep their end up. The first assistant
lost his temper when he was struck

CAMPBELL'S TRIP
TO BIG ISLAND

With the definite information that
the belt road on Hawaii and other
public improvements on Hawaii and
Maui were finally under way Superin-
tendent Campbell of the board of
public works returned to this city
yesterday from the southern island.
AT the meeting of the Hawaii county
commissioners, presided over by
Albert Horner, he was present, and
at that meeting it was decided to be-
gin work upon the belt road at Wal
naku as soon as the preliminary sur
veys are completed. 1t is believed
that these will be finished by Septem-
Der, when the next apportionment of
the loan fund is made.
Superintendent Campbell also brings
news of the acceptance of the archi-
tectrural plans of Ripley & Reynolds
for the $65, 900 Union School at Hilo
and the acceptance of the govern
ment's proposal for the reclamation
of the Punahawai district

The Maui supervisors fixed the tax

below the eye with a flying piece Of
steel while repairs were being effect
ed, and so it was all along the line.
The men passed the irritability along.
She was not a very happy ship for
the engineers.
How long the Sheridan will take
going to Manila via Guam can not
be reckoned out yet. But she will
take a little more than twenty-five
days. This is confidently expected
for she has loaded up a thousand tons
of coal, profiting by the experience of
the last trip. She was so leisurely
across the broad expanse of water
that her coal bunkers had to be
swept to get her into port. That risk
will not be taken again, if it can be
guarded against.
The Sheridan was formerly the
Massachusetts, a British steamer.
She makes an excellent transport,
where there is no hurry, but she
makes a poor mail carrier, She
brought in 100 sacks of mail ys'ster
day morning, two Gays after the ar
rival of the Sierra, which left San
Francisco nearly two days later than
she did.
The Sheridan got away to Manila
today shortly after noon. The Ha
waiian band played her off.

MOTOR SPEEDER
HAS CLOSE CALL

An unknown motorcyclists met with
a nasty accident yesterday afternoon
near the summit at Moanalua.
About three o'clock, according to
c. b. Wilson, who was driving EVA
ward in a buggy, two motorcycles
passed him going toward town at a
very high rate of speed and appar-
emily racing.
Just after passing the buggy one
of the machines skidded and its rider
was thrown into a ditch by the side
of the road, where he lay for a few
minutes stunned.
DR.. Sinclair happened to be pass
ing in his auto at the time and rem
dered what assistance he could to the
injured man, whose injury was found
to be nothing more severe than a dis.
located shoulder.
The injured man was taken into
town by an automobile driven by a
son of Manager Glib of Aiea mill.
He was taken to the hospital but
left Immediately. No record was
made of his name, at least none could
