In wholesome little story that DOT trays sweetness of character, Little Emma Bunting will be seen at the Bijou theatre this week. It Is an Easter. offering and the spirit of the day may be said to pervade the entire play from end to end, There isn't Il villain and there isn't any problems. In place of the wild child. Miss Bunting appears as the daughter Of a country village 3arson, Just budding Into womanhood. one minute she Is the superstitlouS child believing in the signs and in fairies and the next scene shows her as woman, capable of loving with a womans heart and woman's devotion.
 The play Is new to Birmingham and the part one In which Miss Bunting appears at her best Birmingham has never seen her in Just such a part and new laurels are to be added to her efforts this week.
 Sally, the parsons daughter, Is caught red handed taking flowers from the flower garden of the Annesley Chase, her captor being Young Bates, who Is disguised as Giles. the gardener. He im- mediately falls in love with the brish, natured country girl and after that needless to say she has all the flow CTS she wants. The second scene Is laid In the parsons yard. where supersti- tious little Sally Is given the wishing ring according to the ancient custom and of course she wishes for the love of Bates, which Is hers.
 Advantage has been taken of the opportunity to paint and build three excellent scenes, The company has been resting during Holy Week ana the scenic artists had full sway to construct and paint an extraordinarilA pretty production, There are thre, scenes, the flower garden, the yard oi | Dot where part wis given.

Whitaker plays the part o1 Giles or Bates. the supposed Gardene, with whom Sally falls in love and MT Lane presents the part of the village character, the old man who remembers the big freeze and the great flood. MT Miller will be seen as Mir. Bates, father of young Bates. and the other mem hers of the company will be well cast A second love story between the req gardener and a rich American girl runs through the play.

giving an account of all disburse-
ments and receipts. The total re-

very small. Concerning this, Lehua
says:
Il am gratified to state that the
present statement of this department
shows a substantial Improvement
over previous years, the monthly de-
ficit has been reduced to about %
per cent of last year, and owing 10
rigid economy, coupled with ener-
eetic collection, this department IS
now on a much improved plane; col

than last years and | am hopeful that
during the present year this depart
ment will have reached a selt-sus-

A small but appreciative audience
composed of Honolulu music levers
gathered in the Opera house last

the benefit of the Leahi home. Those
who took part in the program consist
ed of some of Honolulu's most prom

WEAVER FAILS TO AGREE
WITH MlLVERT0N IN THE.
BECKLEY STREET CASE

A second effort was made last night
to secure the payment of a claim
against the city and county amounting
to $277.20, for sidewalk improvements
done on Beckley street by D. A. De-
vine.
Because Supervisor Sam Hardesty
was engaged by Devine to assist in
the work, the claim was disalIowed
several months ago on the legal opin-
ion of Fred Milverton, then deputy
city and county attorney. He held
that the law which prohibits a super
visor, being an official of the city and
county, from engaging in municipal
work for pay also makes the claim of

SCANDAL Is REPORT

Especial cable to the Hawaii Shinpo.)
TOXIC, Japan, Feb. "A new de-
parture in the recently-aire naval
scandal was made this morning when
the Doshikai, the new constitutional
list party, brought charges against
Count Gombei Yamamoto, premier of
the japanese cabinet, charging him
with having received commissions
from a certain foreign ship-biulding
firm. 1t is claimed that, while Count
,Yamamoto' was. secretary of the navy
department, he was paid commits
sion by this firm for having secured
it as the one to build several war
ships for Japan. The Doshikai, as
welt as. other political parties. is
showing marked lack of confidence
in the cabinet. and this matter is to
be brought up for discussion at the
next meeting or the Japanese diet.

Retrenchment Policy Assumed.
Supervisors Mcclellan and Petrie,
answering the arguments OF Mr..
Church and Mr.. Clark, stated that it
would be difficult or precarious to
adopt any hard and fast policy along
the lines suggested. Mcclellan said
that different roads were entitled to
different considerations: that q main
street and a remote sidestreet could
hardly be figured on the same basis
for improvement. Petrie said that il
the board offered to pay a certain
amount or percentage on all street
work, a time might come when 1t
lacked the funds to meet its obliga-
tons. In other words, it might. be
unable to fulfill its half of the agree
ment.
Though this part of the discussion
was left hanging in the air, THE mat.
ter of retrenehment was not. The
departments will be called on, a poll.
cy of economy win be carried out.
AS stated in an article in the Star
Bulletin last week, the bulk of the
money for road work will be spent in

MANY OFFICERS HOME
WARD BOUND ON THOMAS;
LEAVING OLD COMMANDS

The army transport Thomas, SEIZED.
uled TO sail at 5 o'clock this evening,
has on board a number of officers
who are feeling the effects of the co.
lonial army policy pursued in the
Philippines, being transferred to regi-
ments in the States after their. tour
Of foreign service.
Colonel w. J. Nicholson, who. is in
command OF troops on the transport,
goes to command the End Cavalry
after 81 years of almost continuous
service with the It'll Horse. With the
exception OF very few years, Col.
Nicholson has served with the same
regiment during his entire army life
and his transfer becomes matter
of unique importance.
Another old timer of the 7th Cav.
airy who is travelling homeward is
Major 6. r. III. Tompkins, who for
20 years has worn the crossed sabers
of that regiment. He pinned on the
insignia of. the Bird Cavalry in Homo
lulu. this being the frat time that he
has changed the number of his col
lar ornament
Captain Fitzhugh Lee, son OF the
famous general, is another former 7th
Cayalryman who is joining the 3rd at
Fort Sam Houston, Texas. a..
Aboard the Thomas lis Mrs. Shat
tuck, widow of the late Major Amos
b. Shattnck, whose remains are be-
ing. taken to the United States for
burial Major Shattuck died suddenly
in the Philippines month ago, and
many of his former comrades in
arms speculated on the cause of his
untimely taking off It appears that.
his death was due to heart failure
and that he died while on duty.
The Thomas, according to Captain
Mike" Healy. had a smooth and UNI
eyentful voyage from the Islands.

are not over enthusiastic over the
working Of the colonial regiment

difficult to get Refreshments, so

GEORGE SIMMONS
MURDER CASE IS
IN HANDS Of JURY.

The case of George Rufus Simmons
and James Frederick Field. held for
the murder of Santos Morales, Por-
to Rican, at Wahiawa on the night of
June, 80. 1918, went to the jung at
1880 o'clock this morning in circuit
court. Concluding with the cross-ex-
animation of Field by County Attor-
ney Cathcart, the only argument to
the Jury was the general summing up
of the evidence by the prosecution, At
torneys Straus and Schnack not &C
cepting the privilege of addressing it.
Field proved a good witness for the
defense. Though he was questioned
closely on the cross-examination this
morning it proved difficult to confuse
him or to elicit contradictory state
ments from him. He chung to the
original story: that Simmons was per-
fectIy sober until after the shooting
occurred; that Morales had invited
the colored soldier to a duel; that
three shots came from the direction of
Morales room and only one from Sim
mons revolver. and that the Porto
Rican, dying, had expressed his will
ingness to have it out with Simmons
again if he. Morales, should recover.
Field is held as an accessory before
the fact, accused of handing Simmons
the gun with which the latter is al
legged to have shot Morales. The jury
was expected to take a considerable
length of time in reaching. verdict
The Jurors are Jacob ordenstein, How
ard W. Adams, Henry p. Roth, Fred
erick C.. Miller, Adolph b. Angus,
Charles w. ZiegIer. William NJ. Min
ton, Thomas II. Hughes, John H.

After, nine years he was let out be.
cause his conduct in prison had been
good. All that time "Three-Fmger-

him. The story goes on as follows:
"tFifteen years is what they gave

"'Mac had a woman, loyal and true
