 At LOew's Bijou
 Claude and Marion Cleveland evidently were inspired by the packed house that greeted them yesterday afternoon and night at Loews Bijou, for they worked hard and fast, to the almost convulsing g of their auditors. Marion Cleveland was a riot of fun. Her comedy broke loose in carload lots, and the audience refused to let them leave the stage, taking l3 minutes more of their time than their act called for.
 The Three Tivoli girls have rare voices. and they are just as versatile in classical numbers as they are in popular songs. Their voices blend perfectly, and they received round after round of applause at the conclusion of each number. They are comedy looking girls, and receive a ready response from their audience.
 Jim Reynolds was good fun. He pro- voked many laugh and held the rapt attention of the crowd from start to fin- ish. His act met with general approval.
 A special musical number which was we'll received was the "Ovandos'' couple, offering selections on the piano and xlyo- phone.

Irhurston at the Jefferson

The drawing power of Thurston was convincingly illustrated last night whep one of the largest crowds the Jefferson theatre has held in weeks braved a rainstorm to see his performance, It would be hard to imagine a more disagreeable night yet those who saw the magician do his numerous tricks-and he seems to know about all there are in the book of magic-were greatly entertained
 Thurston has been coming to Birming- ham for years and he never fails to mystify and amuse. He does everything, from card tricks to difficult cabinet ma nipulations. spirit manifestations and many illusions some Or them graceful and pretty others grotesdue, but all in- terestiug. He has a new feature this year that he has never presented in Bir- minSham before, a race between motor cycle and an automobile. which is a cleverly conceived and executed illusion, having to do with "Pancho'' Villa, who is captured with ease and celerity. Per haps Pershing would have had better luck in chasing the original if he had taken Thurston along.
 The programme, divided into three parts contains most of the tricks on which Thurston has built his fame, in- cluding the levitation of young woman, the spirit cabinet, the transportation of a bathing girl from the stage to a glass tank half full of water and many others Thurston injects great deal of comedy into his performance with the assistance, more or less willingly of persons called upon the stage from the audience.
 shadowgraph performance was also an enjoyable feature, all the effects be- ing produced by the use of bare hands As there were no printed programmes available, the identity of the shadow graph artist was not revealed, although he appeared here before in vaudeville.
 Thurston will play weeks engagement at the Jefferson with matines Wednesday and Saturday and performances each night with the exceptiosi of today, which is a "heatless day for theatres.

The Lyric theatre will be open today, giving the usual three performances, though no fuel for heating will be used. Those who attend the performances will find plenty to entertan them, as the new bill is one of excellent entertainment. It was greeted by capacity audiences Monday. The programme is replete w!th comedy, music, song and novelty, and is pelasing comingling of those features that assure much entertainment. Ru5e- ville" the headline attraction, is all that has ever been said for it, when it comes to being a big entertainer There is a laugh every minute, and it is one of tse merrest numbers seen at the Lyric this season. The entertainers in this act are all men and every one is capable per former. The general store in the small country village is the locale, and all the quaint, rural characters are introduced to the delectation of the audience The act is enlivened by musical selections, singing, dancing and comedy II. B.
 Watson. as the proprietor of the store,
 is an excellent comedian, and he is one of the bright spots of the act. Delany as the advance agent of an itinerant wagon show is typical in his portrayal, and is also an excellent dancer. The act

Eight hundred copies, of DR.. F.

War As Seen Thru German Eyes"
which received the endorsement Of
Governor Pinkham, are held in the
hands of federal officers here following
raid made on the Schurmann prem
ises at Alakea and Beretania Streets.
The fact that the raid was made has
only just now become public though it
was conducted n week or more ago
after urgent complaints had been made
to the Quilted States district attorney.
The raid grew out of action taken
by the Hawaiian Vigilance corps after
it had been informed by the naval in
telligenee department that the book
was being circulated in Honolulu. For.
mer Governors Carter and Frear, on
behalf of the Vigilance Corps, present.

attorney and demanded that action to
suppress the volume be taken.
1t is understood that the naval in
telligence department had learned that
while the book was not being openly
circulated or sold, it was being read
widely. 1t was said that callers at the
Schurmann home were given copies to
read.
United States District Attorney HUI

the raid had been made. He said the

Fibre and Products
Company Sells
Patents To Hamilton
Hundred and Thirty Thousand
Dollar Deal ed-Purchaser
Will Establish Plant In Manila
For Handling Of . cocoanut
Fibre

A $4,000 deal was contaminated here
yesterday, when the Fibre and Prod
ucts Company of Honolulu sold out its
right and title to the Rothchilds CO.
coanut husking and fibre manufactur-
ing machinery, which was controlled by
the Dillingham; interests here and Ben
jamin z. Rothchild, inventor of the
machinery, to c. w. Hamilton presi.
dent of the Bukidnon Corporation.
This sale yesterday includes the pat.
ents, machinery and assets of the fibre
company. Cash on hand, accounts re,
ceivable and the premises of the com
pany on Liliha Street are not included
in the sale.
This patent, which is the creation of
Mr.. Rothchilds after years of expert
ment, Is used for the converting Of co.
coauut husks into mating, bagging and
other similar textiles. Patents are
now pending in practically all import
ant countries in the world.
Mr.. Hamilton, who is the owner of
two shipyards, is also the head of a
large bodybuilding concern and is
prominent in large financial affairs in
the States. He will ship this machinery
Immediately to Manila, where he will
establish a large plant for the handling
of cocoanut fibre. Mr.. Hamilton is al
so negotiating the purchase of some
small steamers to be sent to Philippine
waters.
Mr. Rothchilds came here about three
years ago and started in a small way
to demonstrate the practicability Of
his invention. Heretofore no use was
ever made of cocoanut husks and Mr..
Rothchilds was firm in his belief that
this tough fibre could be turned to com
mprciaI uses, if a shredding machine,
simply operated, could be invented.
The result of his convictions along
these lines were realized yesterday
when this sale was closed.

RED CROSS RESULTS
PLEASE A. |. CASTLE

"Our Red Cross drive exceeded all
our expectations, said A. l.. Castle,
secretary of the local Red Cross yester.
day. &" Hawaii led it's division in the
first Red Cross drive, and from the
showing we have made, expect it to
lead the Second Drive as well. There
was wonderful work done on Oahu
Much of the credit for this is due to
mr.. James Rath, treasurer of the drive
commission, who was responsible for
planning much of the machinery which
worked so smoothly"
4 Mr. Castle added that there would
5be great need for all the money col
iected, AS the increasing cost of raw
materials for bandages, garments, and
all other Red Cross supplies is a great
handicap TO the work here.
No new reports have yet been receiv'
ed from the other islands, and the fig
pres stand at 1907 900. When the, full
reports come. there is little doubt that
the, quota will be exceeded by over
