We have endcavored to discharge
our duties with justice. impartiality
and as rapidly as possible, with fair
ness to ourselves, and by giving due
consideration in each case presented
10 us. We have made a thorough ex-
animation into every case presented
tt us and following your honor's in
s,ructions we have found an indict-
n,cnt In each case where the evidence
justified and we felt that the law had
been broken.
We fnd that justices Of the peace
fail to bind over their witnesses In
= large number Of cases and have
failed to send the papers IN each case
tefore the grand jury, ana In . great
many cases failed to give the names
OF the witnesses, and this has caused

and unnecessary delay.
We fnd that there hes been = de-

carefully the county Jail. We find

All Tacoma will be interested
in the story of "Brenden of the
Moor" which will be told In pic
ture form at the Melbourne thea
ter tomorrow and Monday. It is
a story of a man who stole from
the rich to give to the poor. In
other words he was a Dutch Rob-
in Hood. The picture story is
filled with heart throbs and
thrills. 1t Is new plot taken
from the life of a man who really
lived as the pictures portray him.

WITH THE THEATERS
AT THE PRINCESS

No offering in recent months
at the Princess theater has at
tracted the interest aroused by
the advance announcement of
THE White Sister," which will
begin the new week with the mat
inee Sunday. Through an ar
rangement with Manager Rich
ards. the local Knights of Colum-
bus have bought out the house for
Monday night and have had
charge of the seat sale, using this
as the annual benefit instead OF
presenting play under their own
auspices. Already the sale for
Monday night has been large and
it is evident that the capacity of
the Princess will be taxed to the
limit.
'The White Sister" is the dra-
matization of the famous story
by F. Marion Crawford. 1t tells
the dramatic story of a young
woman who enters the church as
a nun when she learns that her
fiance has bten killed in battle.
After she has taken the vows. her
sweetheart returns UNEXPECTEDLY.
He begs her to return to the
world, but he refuses. He ar
rives just as she has offered her
services to the church In one of
the isolated leper colonies. The
remainder of the drama deals
with the attempt of the soldier
sweetheart to disuade Sister Gio-
wanna to give up her work in the
church and the end reaches a
dramatic climax of rare force.
Miss Dillon will appear as Sis
ter Giovanni. George Zucco will
be Lieut.. Giovanni.
AS the sale of the house for
Monday night to the Knights OF
Columbus will interfere with the
new rule of ladies' bargain night
for Monday, Manager Richards
will change the bargain price
evening performance to Tuesday,
when every woman who secures
her TICKET before 6 p. m. will be
admitted to the lower floor at
bargain prices.

Boutwell, Brownies magnificent
production of 1.-THE Serpent of the

Gle. 1.-THE. Serpent of the Nile" is
a dramatic dance pantomime gor-
geously staged and lavishly cos
tuned. It's musical setting is
wildly descriptive and its dance
numbers are said to be sensations.
1t has a consistent plot all told in
pantomime and ending with the
death dance of Cleopatra. 1t is one
of the big productions that will
visit the Pantages during the cur
rent season.
1.-THE New Expressman" is the
title of a screamingly funny
sketch presented by VIII Arm
strong and company. AS fun
maker, Armstrong needs no intro
duction. He is assisted by two
pretty and clever singing come
diennes.
One of the welcome announce
ments of the new bill is the re-
turn of Santucci. the accordeon-
list. Santucci has played in Ia
oma before and has never failed
to give the headline acts close

New songs and witty dialogue
will be offered by Gene and Ar
