LY RENOVATED FOR
COMING SEASON

Work of remodeling, renovating
and beautifying Monroe theatre is
going along nicely, and Juan Car
bonell, the progressive owner and
manager, says it will be almost as
attractive as the Strand when the
present work is finished.
The entire theatre is being gone
over by workmen. Both the in
terror and exterior are being made
bright and new. The front is a
highly ornamental combination of
graceful designs and figures in re-
lRf.e The seats are being put in
perfect shape and new ones are
taking the place of those needing
repairs. A new and elegant floor
covering will be laid at front and
in the aisles and the wall decora-
tons rejuvenated by artists.
Mr.. Carbonell says he has spent
a lot of money in improving his
two theatres here, for he wants
Key West to have the best and
latest of everything. He says he
appreciates the liberal patronage
and friendship of he good Key
West people, and he is determined
to show them that he does.

RICHMOND. Va. June 30.-The
suit of Arthur Lyman of &assachu-
sets and other preferred stockhold-
ers against the Southern Railway to
share in dividends in excess of per
cent, resolved into Il legal battle over
the English language here yesterday.
Counsel on either side sought to prove

Law and Equity Court, that their own
construction of the railways con-
tracts with its stockholders was the
only possible Interpretation to be
placed on the contract.
The case occupied the whole of
yesterday and is expected to take
up virtually all of today. Stuart
Christian and Brockborough Lamb of
Richmond argued for the preferred
stockholders, while Sidney r. Prince,
general solicitor Of the Southern Rail

POLICEMEN GIVEN
EMPHATIC Warning
Rights of Citizens Must Be
Respected, Says Hesse, in
General Order.

The general order prepared by
Supt. of Police Edwin B. Hesse last
week, instructing members of the de-
partment as to the ethics and ell
uuette of policeman and warning
emphatically that the rights and pr1vi-
leges of Citizens as laid down by the
Constitution shall not be violated, was
broadcast to all precincts today. The
Constitution, statutes of the DISTRICT
Of Columbia and the police manual
were quoted in the order to impress on
the policemen that they would face
dismissal, heavy fines and imprison-
ment If they beat citizens unneceS-
sarily and search homes unlawfully.
1T should be borne in mind that
police systems are devised for the pur-
pose of preventing evils and providing
benefits said the general order. 1t
is the function of the police arm OF
the municipal service to protect and
defend society and to secure obedience
to the laws, and headquarters wishes
to impress upon the entire personnel OF
the force that these functions must be
exercised only in pursuance of author
ity definitely prescribed, and that I'M
der no conditions must the constitu-
tional guarantees, which grant to the
citizen the full protection of the law
by it's authorized representatives, be
denied.
ION the contrary. the full power and
authority of the police system should
he utilized to preserve and defend the
citizen in his enjoyment of his consti-
tutional privileges"
The order followed with quotations
OF verbatim sections of the District
statutes forbidding unnecessary and
wanton severity by policemen,
searches and invading homes in en-
forcement of the prohibition act. with
schedule of heavy punishment for Of
Tending policemen"
In closing the order Maj. Hesse said:
In the future when complaints are
received of wanton disregard of the
rights of citizens the department will
take drastic action
