Passengers Sign Waiver.

London, Feb. 13.-Passengers who
sought to book passage to the United
States today on vessels of the Amer.
lean line found they were required to
sign a special waiver relieving the line
from all responsibility in case of ae'
cident or untoward occurrences.
Those who refused to sign such a
waiver had their money returned.
The American consul general was be
sieged for advice by Americans on that
point, but was unable to give informa
tion.
At the New York offices of thu
American line it was stated the actor
taken in London was precautionary
measure. Should an American linel
sail without guns, passengers might as
sumo the line was liable for theil
safety, it was stated. Such action ha.
not been taken here, as all American
liners now in port are being held unit
they can get guns.

Bird of Paradise Is
Great Theatrical Success

Successes have been rather scarce in
the theatrical business during the past
few years, but this cannot be said of
Oliver Moroscos "The Bird of Para
disc" which will be seen at the Grand
opera house Wednesday, February IA.
This pretty play of Hawaiian life took
Richard Walton Tully 10 years to write,
and it has proven its worth, as it is now
in its sixth season. AS Mr.. Tully says,
Falthough l put great deal of time
into The Bird of Paradise, it surely
has rewarded me, for personally think
the play VII last for 20 years"

the officer a residence at the prison.
The governor wanted it, and through his

it. Garland and Orton had tilt and

motion was defeated by vote of l9
to 7, and the president remarked the
bill win be returned to the house with
the senate 'es compliments. -
