PETTY THIEvING

There is great deal of petty thiev-
ing going on around town. The
thieves watch their chance to find
an office or place of business open
and with no one there for a minute
or two, when they slip in and carry
off something of value. This week
the office of a lawyer was entered,
while he was in the office of a fellow
member of the bar, in the same build
ing and his spectacles were taken
from his open desk, while his over
coat, hanging on hook on the wall
went also. Another gentleman laid
his glasses on his desk while he went
to another office, next door, and when
he rturned bit later (not five min
utes) his spectacles were gone. But
few weeks ago the same gentleman
lost another pair of glasses the same
way. Not long ago someone carried
off a pencil sharpener from the coun.
ter in the business office of "The Oa-
sis" The office was alone a few
mQments while the accountant went
into the post office, next door. When
he returned the little contrivance was
missing.

WASHINGTON, January g.
Leaders of the Democratic party
gathered here today to fix date and
select city for the party's 1920
national convention.
Like the Republicans, who met here
nearly a month ago, the Democrats
face the probability. leaders said, of
a wide open fight for the nomination,
with full crop of favorite sons and
other aspirants to the honor.
The committee will hold Il public
Sos S on at the Shcreham hotel. to be
followed tonight by the Jackson Day
dinner at the Willard where promin-
,ent Democrats from every section of
the country will discuss the issues
of the campaign and the position of
the party. Incidentally, it has been
decided that hereafter the Jackson day
dinner, which heretofore has been
held but once in four years, shall be-
come a yearly event, and that instead
of being District of Columbia event,
it will be nationalized. 1t is to serve
in the future as an annual Democratic
party love feast at which ideas for
the good of the party will be exchang-
ed by chieftains from every section.
AS the Democrats gathered, the
fight for the convention was spirited.
San Francisco, st. Louis, Cincinatti,
Cleveland, Indianapolis and Kansas
City all have been urging their claims
and presenting alluring offers to par
ty leaders.
The most absorbing topic on every
hand was whether President Wilson
will be a third term candidate. and if
he is not, whether he will indicate his
choice among the many who are be-
ing discussed. 1t is considered cer-
tain that the President will make his
position plain on the third term ques-
tion before the convention is held
That he will not again be a candidate

ers. They expect him to keep his

A DAUGHTER OF THE SUN
a fast dying race

The Kanaka, as the native Ha-
waiian is called, is fast dying out.
1t is said that when Captain John
Cook, of Hg. M. S. Navy discovered
these islands in 1778, the islands had
population Of 100000, but in a lit
tie over one century, there remain
but $4,000 according to the census
of 1910.
Various causes have been attribut-
ed to this unprecedented disappear
ance of whole race. They have for
one thing inter-married with other
races, in fact have been absorbed by
the other races on the islands. The
interest in these natives of our island
possessions have been kept before US
almost continually by their native
music which has taken us by storm.
The latest play dealing with Ha-
waii is "a Daughter of the Sum-" a
story of an Hawaiian Butterfly. writ
ten by Lorin J. Howard and Ralph T.
Kettering, and produced by The
Mutual Play Co. Nothing in the
dramatic line since "a Bird of
Paradise" has created such a furore.
The atmosphere of these enchanted
Isles is maintained by wonderful
scenic equipment and also band of
native Hawian musicians, who
furnish the music for the play.
"a Daughter of the Sum-" will be
seen at the Lyric Theatre Wednes-
day January 14th.-Seats now on
sale.

MEXICO CITY, January 8.-The
Supreme. Court of Justice has been
hearing the petitions of nineteen
Chinese mercants, asking protection
against local authorities at Cananea,
Sonora. Counsel for the petitioners
maintain that the order to the Chinese
to close their stores and leave Cana
nea is in contravention of the consti-
tuition of the United States of Mexico,
and the treaty with China. Counsel
for the municipal authorities and the
state of Sonora, under an enactment
of which latter local authorities are
proceeding, maintain that both state
law and action of municipal authorit-
les are constitutional and legal. The
court, by various justices, have put
to counsel on both sides some very
searching questions.
Minister Cabrera states that it is
undecided as yet whether Ambassa-
dor Bonillas will withdraw from his
post in the United States. He has
asked leave of absence to give at
tention to his campaign for the presl-
dency.
The press of the Republic of Chile
are expressing warm eulogies upon
Mexico for the enterprise manifested
in establishing wireless communica-
tion between the capitals of the two
republics; and already there has aris-
en- considerable wireless communi-
cation between the two countries.
Commercial relations are expected to
find remarkable expansion as a re-
suit of the new means of communl-
cation.
Finance Minister Cabrera declared
today that there will be no issue of
paper money to tide over the general
strigency of the time. He would
consider such a course as perilous.
Advices from Vera Cruz convey vi
vid accounts of destruction of life

completely, in some instances swal-
lowed up, and the houses made liv-
ing tombs of the inmates. In Teo-
