THE VlRGINIAN''
STOCK C0|MPA|VY'S
BEST PRODUCTION

Owen Wistefs s"The Vfrginians lost
rothing by the method in which the
Worlds Fair Stock. Company present.
ed it at the Bijou last night. In this
production which burns from, start to
finish with the thrills Of the. west,
Miss Virginia Brissac, as. Molly Wood,
the eastern school ma'am. James Dill
Ion, as the Virginian, and J. w. Wray,
as Tampas, gained new Iaurels by the
manner in which they handled thier
ports. 81 y.
Wray's acting Of the role Of Tampas,
the western bad man, and the william
of the plot, was undoubtedly the fin
est piece of work which he has done
since the company's arrival in Homo
lulu, Trampas is not the type of ordil-
cry william which inc finds in the every
day novel, but simply a born cattle
thief whose one object is to get" the
Virginian. His grudge against tn eYir.
yinian starts when he is made to
acknowledge himself a liar before the
other cowboys, and continues through
cut the play until his bluff is called
by the Virginian in the last act. There
is perhaps no other member Of the
company who. could have done the
Justice to the. role. which Wray did,
A strain of comedy ran through the
entire play, provoked by the presence
of four cowboys, friends of the Viz
ginian, and the mix-up of the babies
in the first act brought down the
house. Rodney Brandt, who took the
part of Steve, the friend of the Vir-
ginian, who turned cattle thief, was
among those whose acting was above
par. In his scene with the Virginian
after he has been caught by the vigi-
lance committee, there was a perfect
silence throughout the crowded
house, and after he had, been led
away to pay the penalty which was
inflicted upon cattle stealers in those
times, and the Virginian read his
note which said, Il couldn't say good
by to you without playing the baby"
there were many in the audience who
felt the same way about it as Steve
did.
1t was the last part of the final act
which caused nervous tension
among those who saw the play. This
act was perhaps the best played OF
the four and when the lights were
lowered to signify the close of day,
the time set by Trampas for the Vir-
gianian to leave the town, and when
the former started, gun in hand, to
E"get" his enemy, the audience was on
edge and it was not until the curtain
had dropped with bang that anyone
started to leave.
That the play will meet with I'M
bounded success this week is the
opinion of those who saw it last
night, and many who have seen the
play on the mainland when Dustin
Farnum made it famous declare that
the production last evening was
every git as good.

BRECK0NS WILL "SHOW UP"
T0WSE AT DEALING FARO

81 have read an interview. in the
5tar-Bulletin," said United States Dis
trict Attorney K. W. Breckons yester-
day. I'm which ! understand that Ed
Towse claims to know something
about faro. He don't know any more
about it than do about Sanscrit. The
fact that ne lived in Wyoming, as
did. when faro was dealt in 49 style,
doesn't prove that he can deal a faro
game in 49 style. and win.
For the fun Of the thing, at the
Elks' show in the Mid-winter carnival.
| am going to deal some faro myself.
AS is generally known among my
friends, was once in Wyoming, and
was there when Mr. Towse was
there. The suggestion that he was
ever in the professional class in the
game strikes me as humorous. don't
want to knock the Elks' show, but
when ii comes to faro, just watch some
people, who know the game and COM
pare their work 10 that Of Mr.. Towse

morning expressed confidence that a
much-improVed scheme for handling
the mail can be worked out and that
some of the strain can be taken off
the local office with a consequent in
crease in efficiency that will be felt
throughout the territory. AS Mr..
Hall puts it, Honolulu is trying to
handle the mails of 1912 with the
facilities of 1900.
Hawaii's postal service. has a firm
friend in the inspector. A talk with
him this morning shows that he is
deeply interested in this part of his
division and appreciates the. Difficult
ties encountered here and will bend
every energy toward doing away with
them.
Another thing that Inspector Hall
will look into during his stay is the
matter of postal Eavings bank for
the territory. More than a year ago
the plan was approved and later the
Hilo Office was designated for the
first bank. Since that time the postal
officials here have forwarded much
data 20 the mainland about various
Offices, lat as yet no steps have been
taken to establish the postal bank in
the territory. 1t is understood there
is some question as TO whether, with
HaWaii's large alien population, the
bank should be established now.
Likes Blue Sky Law .s*- .~
Inspector Hall was interested this
morning in the report that. a "blue
sky law viii be presented to the
next legislature, with the view of
preventing fake-stock, swindles and
the like. The postofice department
long ago declared war on the vendors
OF fake stocks and those who attempt
80 put. over swindles through the
mails, and this federal branch of gov
eminent heartily supports and in
dorses moves by states or territories
to pass legislation dealing with the
vital subject.
"California Is now considering q

might add that the players won't have
4 chance to lose anything"

blue sky law and | tell you If it
passes IL will be one of the greatest
things for my division that eyer hap
pened." said Hall this morning.
Inspector Hall is one of the best
men in Uncle Sans service at break
ing up just these swindles. For years
he has roamed up and down the coast
putting get-rich-quick people and
schemes out Of business. Shrewd, re-
sourceful, wise" to all the tricks of
the fraternity of crooks, a regular
Sherlock Holmes in running down
criminals, the Coast inspector has
made his division one to be avoided
by those who would use the mails in
their efforts to defraud the public.
Not long ago orders went out from
Washington for a simultaneous and
countrywide raid upon fake medicine
menace to the public and other SINH
lar gentry who were using the mails
to promote their plans. Inspector
Hall had been gathering evidence for
months. The result was that in his
division his pOstoffice inspectors
nabbed twenty-five of the malefactors.
Then there was a fight in the courts
Those who had been arrested counted
upon getting off with. comparatively
light fines. But Hall and his men had
line up their evidence so we'll that
when they went into court and showed
the dangerous character of these
quacks, the judge, after conviction,
gave one of the men a year in Jail at
hard labor and added a heavy fine for
good measure.
And" said Hall this morning, smil-
ing his genial smile, the rest OF. them
are getting ready to plead guilty, now
that they see what they are likely to-
get"
Inspector Hall has played a promin-
ent part in many Sensational expos,

INON ACCOUNT
OF WICHCRAFT

Sons and Daughters of. the Ameri-
can Revolution held a very pleasant
and instructive joint meeting at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. p. Cooke
last evening. The notorious Salem
witchcraft was the topic of the even
ing and a very interesting paper was
read by Miss Lawrence on this sub
ject. She presented to her hearers
the atmosphere of the times and the
most peculiar LEA which the people
of the eighteenH. century held of the
devil. Just to add spice to- the topic
Of the evening a black cat ran

w. r. Castle followed Miss Law
renee with a talk on witchcraft of
the period. He called attention to
the prevailing idea that New England
and Salem held the palm for all
witchcraft follies. He then pointed
out the error of this impression.
Punishment by death for witchcraft
was general throughout Europe In
the seventeenth. century. The last
witch was put to death in Aberdeen,
Scotland, in the latter part of the
eighteenth century. Pope Innocent
issued bull against the practise of
wftchcraft and in every European
country many people were put to
death as either witches or wizards.
e The last known case of capital
punishment for .witchcraft was in
Peru as late as 1888. This seems un.
beheVaLle, but is nevertheless true.

INSPECTOR HALL

Inspector Hall is not a stranger to
Hawaii, but he is a stranger to the
New Hawaii" Many of the. old
timers remember him when he came
down here in 1900 to organize the u.

Although he has been here but a
few hours, the inspector has already
made some tentative plans for better
ing the service, and these plans are
OF interest to every person in the is
lands. Recognizing the unavoidable
manner in which mail piles up on the
Honolulu office because of the steam
er arrivals, and recognizing also that
in the local office very often q mass
OF incoming mail has to be handled
at the same time a mass OF outgoing
mail Iclamors for attention, Inspector
Hall Is now at work upon a plan based
on the routing" of mail by the San
Francisco office. Under this plan, the
mail reaching here would be made
up for carriers and boxes in the San
Francisco offices. as well as routed
for various island ports. The details,
OF the plan have not yet been de-.
cided upon, but Inspector Hall this

JACKSONVILLE 8
AUTOISTS PLAN
RUN TO ATLANTA
Summer Tour in Interest of
Good Roads Proposed by
Florida Motorists,

JACKSONVILLE, June 21.-Some
time this summer an automobile run
from this city to Atlanta is to be
made. if plans now being discussed
materialize. Early this spring, in
April, an attempt was made to get up
run to the Georgia capital, but the
rains spoiled the roads and the trip
was abandoned. The attraction then
was the Metropolitan Grand Opera
Company.
Now, however It is planned to get
up a run for good roads purposes
only. The automobile people here
have boosted the good roads game for
years, and have met with many good
results. They failed to get their bin
through the Legislature this year, but
are not discOura ged. Politics defeat
ed good roads this time, but better
results are expected later.
It Is hoped that the proposed At
lanta run viii again stimulate inter-
est and create strong enough public
opinion to force the passage of some
legislation at the next session of the
Florida Legislature The State Good
Roads Association is planning to re-
introduce the bills next time and to
ask the voters to support only those
candidates for the Legislature who
will favor roads.

given business is practically suspend
