t STRIKERS RESIST HAWAIIAN OFFICERS Eighteen Taken Prisoners Af ter Mob of 200 Surrounds Sheriff and Police. HURRY CALL FOR AID SENT Frh Outbreak or Labor Trouble" Nearly Causes Riot 20 Miles From Honolulu, alf Armed Guards Xow Keep Watch. HONOLULU, July 12. Eighteen Jap anese prisoners were brought In from the Walmanalo plantation, 20 miles from here, tonight and lodged In the city Jail, where they will probably be charged with resisting an officer as a result of a riot which occurred at the plantation today. County Sheriff Jarrett. with a strong force' of police from Honolulu, sum moned to his assistance to disperse the mob of strikers, remained on guard at the plantation for the night. Two hun dred strikers were holding a meeting when the police left with their pris oners, hut a telephone message from Jarrett late tonight said that every thing was quiet, and he did not expect further trouble. Strikers Engage In Riot. The Japanese laborers at the planta tion went out on strike early today. Jarrett hastened to the scene at once, anticipating trouble. He found that the strikers had assaulted several of their fellow countrynen who persisted In working. Jarrett arrested five of the men he believed to be ringleaders In the attack and started to take them to Honolulu by automobile. The other strikers gathered around him In a threatening manner and he aban doned his plan, taking his prisoners to the office building of the plantation mill. The crowd of Japanese followed him, sur rounding the bulldine. Jarrett wired to Honolulu for assistance and prepared to fight It out. As soon as the message was received here a squad of mounted deputies under command of High Sheriff Chester Doyle started for the plantation, and four autos loaded with police armed with rifles fol lowed them. On their arrival they found a mob of nearly 600 Japanese about the mill office but no attack had been made on Jarrett. The deputies and the police plunged through the crowd which offered no resistance and joined Jarrett. Doyle and Jarrett summoned several of the known leaders of the strikers and after a short conference with these men the chowd about the building dispersed. Jarretfs prisoners and 13 others taken by the force that came to his aid were placed In the automobiles with enough men to guard them and were taken to Honolulu. Officers Keep Guard. Doyle, Jarrett and most of the depu ties of the police remained to guard the plantation and prevent any violence. Doyle addressed the strikers in Japanese, telling them that it was a serious offense to resist an officer in the discharge of his duty. His words caused many of the Japanese to withdraw. It is charged that there has been no lessening of the picket system since Judge Robinson last lssul his injunction restraining the strikers from interfering with any laborers, last week. The system established by the former strike man agers at Oahu. Walpahu and other plan tations Is still maintained, according to the officers, and there has been no alter ation in the conduct of the private police cf the strikers. Citations for contempt of court growing out of the utter disregard of the restrain ing order are now being prepared by the attorneys.

GREENE. GOOD morning, pretty little Miss Marie Doro. You have captured this town and with our best bow we capitulate. One of the newest of feminine stars made her first local appearance at the Bungalow last night in a charming com edy. "The Morals of Marcus." and com pletely won a representative audience by her infinite wlnsomeness and undeniable cleverness as a comedienne of the splr ltuelle type. Her performance had the effect of opening a window and letting a breath of fresh air into a superheated room. It has been a long time since a newcomer to tne stage has been so wel come. Another Maude Adams she would seem, for her personality and "methods suggest Miss Adams strongly, without a suspicion of imitation. Through acts of temperate enjoyment, the course of "The Morals of Marcus" runs to a pleasant denouement. It is a dramatization of an English novel which had .a great vogue abroad, but has been little read here. It concerns the dilemma, sometimes amusing and sometimes seri ous, of a middle-aged, bookish London baronet, who finds his bachelor home in vaded by a quaint little sprite of a girl. who has been kidnaped from Asia Minor and left to her own resources In Eng land. She makes her entrance by crawl ing through a hedge and into the garden of Sir Marcus, the most woe-begone little tatterdemalion you'd meet in a long jour ney. The bewildered Marcus, greatly scandalizing his designing female rela tives, gives the girl a home. Eventually he adopts her, much against his will, and after a process of veneering, many sprightly experiences and an adventure Vhich almost becomes tragedy, she Insin uates her pretty self into the case hardened heart of the pedantic bachelor, and the echo of wedding bells is heard afar. It is a clean, capital play Of con temporaneous life. Miss Doro Is fortunate in having for her leading man Edwin Arden. a thoroughly finished actor, who plays Marcus with certainty, fine repression and subtlety. It is one of his best performances. Also In the cast, playing the role of Mrs. Or deyne. a pompous, title-hunting dowager, is Marie Walnwrlght, whose fame as an actress of highest ability Is a matter, of common knowledge. With an exception or two the rest of the cast is quite suf ficient. The play runs until Thursday night. BILLS AT THE THEATERS THE MORXIXfl PERSIAN REBELS EPER TEHERAN Vigorous Fighting Follows in City Streets and Shah Is . Near-Fugitive. HOLY WAR PROCLAIMED After Last Effort to Negotiate, Na tionalists Declare Shah Is Non Moslem and Call Faith ful to Fight. TEHERAN, July 13. One thousand Nationalists entered Teheran at 6 o'clock this morning by three gates. The Cossacks occupied the Central Square ftnd surrounding streets. Fighting started at once and la vigor ously proceeding. The Shah Is momentarily expected to take refuge in a foreign, legation. NEGOTIATIONS BROKEN OFF Nationalists Canse Priests to Pro claim Holy War Against Shah. TEHERAN. July 12. Further efforts by Said Ed. Dowleh. the Persian Foreign Minister, on behalf of the government, to reach a friendly settlement with the Nationalists, have failed and serious fighting is now looked for. The British and Russian legations have informed SIpahdar. the leader of the Na tionalists, that they would supoprt any reasonable demands, and they received the reply that the Nationalists would re main strictly on the defensive until even ing, to give the government an oppor tunity to send envoys to open negotia tions. The news, of the arrival of the Rus sians at Kazvln having produced little effect upon the rival" forces, the Shiite sacred college of Mujtehids has at last decided to bring its influence, to bear on the situation and mollahs already have crossed the Turkish frontier with orders to proclaim a holy war. A holy war against Moslems is unpre cedented, but to legalize it the Shah and his supporters have been declared non Moslems. Already the country adjoining the fron tier is in arms. THREE CROOKS CAUGHT Nabbed as They Were Leaving City and Are Held In Jail. Three cVooks with National reputations fell into tne clutches of the local police last night. Tommy King alias the "Hair lipped Kid" "and "one of the smoothest "stalls" in the country, with "Bud" Taylor and Johnny O'Keefe, are now de tained at police headquarters on the spe cific charge of vagrancy. The catch was made by Detectives Snow and Day just as the three had boarded a train for Spokane early last evening. When "fanned", at police headquarters each, of the trio contributed a varied as sortment of plunder and paraphernalia attendant to their vocation.. Several "The Blue Mouse" at the Lyric CAST. J Paulett. Divine, the "Blue Mouse" Elaa Ryan Lewellyn. president of the Inter state Railroad Wilton Taylor Mrs. Lewellyn Tnda Palmer Augustus Rollett. . .Godfrey c. Stein' Mrs. Rollett Caroline Pearce Wallua, her father... G. D. Mclntyre Philip Scandals. . .Harry R. Millarde IT'S all In the point of view the "Blue Mouse." The Shubert production adapted by Clyde Fitch from the German, given at the Lyric is funny, is one big laugh. It is suggestive, built on a sug gestive theme, and with suggestive situ ations all the way through, but it is not Immoral. It will do nothing to "elevate the stage." It may have a tendency the other way, by creating or tickling an ap petite for things commented upon with a wink and a smile. It Is whispered the production as seen In Portland has been expurgated; that it is not the same as that given in New York. It Is even hinted the devious ways of the press agent are responsible for a certain repu tation the play has attained. Whew the audience was gathering, many were the curious looks flashed about to see who else was there; little self-conscious glances of wonder as to whether one were really quite proper after all in being there. As the action progressed, one settled back in his seat with the comforting re flection that his reputation was safe and he might enjoy the fun as much as he wished. The plot is involved and Intricate, even hard to follow at times, events come with such rapid succession. A' young man, secretary to a wondrous railroad president, wants to be division superin tendent. He pays a salary to a notorious actress, the Blue Mouse, to exert her wiles and she has plenty of these on the boss to obtain for him the coveted position. In the turmoil of the winding and unwinding of the play, the presi dent, a "gay old boy," tangles the Iden tity of the actress and his secretary's wife and everybody else gets very much mixed up, developing situations amusing, peculiar and at times hinting at things that might be construed two ways. Elsa Ryan, as the Blue .Mouse, Is charming, persuasive and appears truly as the sort of woman who can wind a man around her finger. Her Ingenuous ness saves certain doubtful situations, as when she appears on the stage In woful need of someone to "hook her up," from becoming coarse. Wilton laylor, as president of the road, acts his part well as sport and admirer of women. Godfrey Stein, as Augustus Rollett. has much difficult work cut out for him, and in the main fills his part. Caroline Pearce. taking the part of his wife .pleases the audience, as does Inda Palmer, who has rather a difficult role as the wife of a henpecked husband. The "Blue Mouse" runs all this week.
