George Bernard Shaw Is
 Made Big Offer for Plays

LONDON, June 29.-George Der nard Shaw has been offered $100,000 a year for five years by an American syndicate to produce two notion picture films each year. The au- thor made this announcement him self at dinner of the Society Of Authors in London Declaring that the cinema rights of a single story might be worth $50.000, he urged young authors not to be too ready to give concessions to cinema pro dueers or literary promoters, among whom, he said, there was unfortu- nately no absolute standard of hon esty
 "A man who sells a table or a chair charges no more than the cost of the article plus reasonable percentage of profit" he said, but nothing of the kind applies to the publishing, theatrical or cinema busi- ness The truth is the whole thing is a gamble, and producers who make perhaps one success in 10 or 20 ven lures want to make that success pay for all failures"

 The exhibition is planned for Sun day. whether morning or afternoon will not be known until MT. Prest arrives here Saturday. As the land ing field lis situated beyond Tkale, it is planned to unload the plane from the Alameda at Thane. The field selected is in fairly good coA- dition, but some little work will have to be done to get it ready for the flyer. Men will be put to work on this at once.
 Committees Meet Tonight
 All the committees are schedu. 'd to meet this evening at o'clock at I.

The Finance Committee, said Chair man Henry Roden at todays meet ing of the Commercial Association, has met with a ready response and for the most part has received gen erous subscriptions.
 Unaiga Sure to Be Here
 Both the Unalga and the Explorer are expected to return to town late this week and remain in port until after the celebration The Sports Committee, fearing that unexpected orders might call the Unalga to other waters, preventing it from returning here for the celebration, asked Gov ernor Bone to take up this matter with district headquarters at Seattle. This was done and Governor Bone said today that a favorable response had been received which assures the presence of the cutter here. There is some doubt as to just when the Fort Steward contingent will arrive, owing to the forthcoming arrival of Gen. Charles c. Morton from the South. An effort is being made to get line on his movements so as to bring the soldiers here as early as possible General Morton is mak- ing the trip North on the transport Buford, which is scheduled to leave Seattle Saturday.

Bold as Steyenson's Favorite

OFF FooCHoW, July 2s.--Hundreds

pirates operating along the China
coast from Foochow to Canton in
raids made upon the coast and river
steamers, according to Capt. M. s.
Monkman, Of the 8. 8. Soochow.
: The days OF the pirates bold with
their "heave no and bottle of rum"
arc not all past, for pirates as dar-
ing and murderous as Robert LOUIS
Stevenson'sr favorite variety are
carrying on flourishing business In
south China.
The pirates are, organized In bands.
and live in picturesque Junks boast
ing great patched sails huge eyes,
add gaily painted bodies. They fear
neither man nor evil spirits, and will
attack any boat whether large or
small II they have reason to believe
the loot is worth the, effort.
. The pirates are very agile and can
aboard Il boat simply by hooking a
long bamboo pole on the side and
climbing up hand over hand. Many
OF the most successful pirates come
from a long line OF pirates. They
grow up on the pirate junks and
know no other life. Others are farm
ing people, and after a good haul
will retire to their little farms for
maybe weeks before they again at.
tack a boat.
The pirates spare nothing and at
tack any boat from the houseboat
carrying a small load of rice to the
coast and river steamers.
When captured they are shot at
once and their junk is stripped, par
TALLY buried in the sand, and an in.
scription, which Is a warning to
other pirates, painted on the portion
of the boat left exposed.

IF True became sane tomorrow

In view of this statement ali Lon

After this ttirade the dancing GIRL
