HABITUAL DRUNKARD
MAY WIN GOOD HAT

Bristol Dec. 21.-If Henry Stout.
one OF Bristol's habitual drinkers.
keeps his oath of total abstinence for
a period of six months, he will wear
the best hat Mayor Warren can buy
In Bristol. This was the offer which
the mayor made him when he re-
quested the privilege of swearing off
instead of being fined for drunken
ness. No fine was imposed on him
In this instance. Stout declares he
will wear the promised hat, notwith-
standing the holiday temptation to
take to the bottle.

Efforts to get the Virginia League
club owners to meet In Richmond to-
day at noon to take up the matter OF
releasing Richmond from the circuit

AT ANY RATE. THERE Is
A CHANGE COMING SOON

The new bill presented before the
patrons of the Lyric Theater last night
was in perfect accord with the
weather outside-dull, dreary and
dismal. The Hearst-Selig moving pic
lures concerned themselves with such
interesting events as a horse being
shod at one OF the British camps, pic
lures Of the havoc wrought on Prus-
sian villages by shell fire. of which
every Illustrated Sunday supplement-
in this broad land has been full these
many months, a Broadway parade OF
New York's street-cleaners, an almost
fiashlight exhibition OF the Lord
Mayor OF London alighting from his
carriage, Andrew Carnegie taking a
walk through Central Park. etc. etc.
The pictures We're hurriedly handled,
giving iumbled impressions of the rep
which was small mis-
fortune.
They were followed by "stickney's
Circus" "a coterie consisting of two
dogs, man. an equestrienne and a
fat pony. These went through several
inane stunts A few laughs were to
be had in%sSpooks." described on the
program as novelty written and in
vented by the players" 1t is in
credibly stupid and pointless, but one
or two bright retorts evoked some
audible applause.
Ward Baker. a standard vaudeville
freak fiddler, is programmed as
Americas most soulful violinist, :"
which he probably Is. Nevertheless,
he occasionally disclosed tones of rare
beauty. especially in his high har-
monies. He was literally applauded
and would. perhaps, have given fur
ther encores If there had been less 60
ing out and coming in on the part of
the audience.
The bill won't be changed until
Thursday. n. B. T., Jr.

be unopposed for some time. the

The performance of the Scott Com

ceptional smoothness for a premiere.
The play. with its rugged, homely
typically American characters. Is ad-
mirabie for stock use. The parts were
all well within the limitations of the
company AMI the individual work OF
the players was above criticism. Jack
Warmers laconic personality and his
natural drawi were the most valu-
amble assets, and his conception and
enactment OF Jim Radburn constituted
the most finished portrayal the writer
has yet seen him do. We should Hike
very much to see him in THE Vir-

SOUTH DAKOTA'S
DANCE PROVES
LARGE SUCCESS

Z The visit of the cruiser South Da-
kota to Honolulu will be remembered
largely because of the brand of enter
tainment which the officers and enlist
ed men. and especially the 100 or more
members of the Ess Dee Club, are
capable of providing. The invitations
which had been issued for the Ess Dee
Clubs farewell dance in the armory
last night were generously responded
to and, when the first strains of music
filled the big hall, more than 300 coup
les took their places in line for the
grand march. ."..
Civilians, sailors and officers, to-
gether with the pick of Honolulu's
feminine population, made merry and
danced the hours away to music fur
nished by the band of the South Da-
kota and a Hawaiian orchestra The
jackies all proved to be splendid dane
ers: there were partners for every
body and a noticeable absence of wall
flowers. Aided by an excellent floor
and splendid music, the evening was a
success from every standpoint. The
big guard hall was prettily decorated
with flags and bunting. In the center
was a table loaded with handsome tro-
plies won by the cruiser. Refresh
ments were served throughout the eve

SUPERVISOR cox is
RESTING EASILY TODAY;
NECK MERELY SCRATCHED

Supervisor Andrew Cox, who was
reported this morning as having
slightly wounded himself in the neck
yesterday Afternoon at his home in
Waialua, is resting quite easily today
and his wound is only superficial, &C
cording to news brought back by
friends who went to Waialua to visit
him.
They say also that the supervisor
was not injured by the discharge of
his gun, as first reported, but that his
neck, about the base Of the throat, is
scratched as the result of the melee
during the excitement that followed
the accidental discharge of his shot
gun. Supervisor Cox has been some
what i'll for several weeks, following
a seizure at the city hall one day
about two months ago. His wife has
been i'll also, and Cox has been worry
ing great deal.
Yesterday afternoon he went to get
his shotgun. His friends say that
there was no thought of any fatal
purpose in his mind and that he was
probably getting the gun to shoot
some birds that were around the
house. However, the act oceasioned
some uneasiness and while he was be-
ing persuaded to put the gun up, the
weapon was discharged, the shot en-.
tering the wall. In the confusion the
supervisor received a scratch on the
neck, but accounts today state that it
is not a gunshot wound. HI
The supervisor and his family are
very popular and his illness has
brought forth many expressions of
sympathy. 1t is declared to be so
slight that it will make no difference
whatever in his campaign for reelec-
tion as supervisor and his friends are
confident that though he may not be
