A crowd of 20 Chinese trying to arrest a pair of American loggers, can' make lots of noise and Patrolman Oelsner might have been a little deaf and still have heard the racket which arose at Fourth and Davis streets about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. The noise was punct uated with blasts from a police whistle. Which is the Chinese's most efficient weapon of offense. Running to the place, the policeman found a crowd of Celes tials trying to capture Jim O'Donnell and George Light, whom they accused of committing depredations in a restaurant. O'Donnell, when he saw the officer coming, knocked down several Chinese and ran away. Oelsner pursued and caught his man in less than a block's run. He returned to the crowd and found the Chinese still fighting with Light, whom he also arrested. The men were taken to a Chinese res taurant at 75 North Fourth, where the employes said that O'Donnell had at tempted to carry off everything in sight and that he had knocked the waiter down. The Chinese said that Light took O'Donnell's side and showed a police star, saying that he was a detective. The badge was lost or thrown away In the scuffle. Light and O'Donnell were booked on a charge of disorderly conduct. MOTHS BOARD FERRYBOAT Floury Creatures Bother Crew and Fly in Eyes of Passengers. VANCOUVER, Wash., July 11.

It's a serious undertaking to set out to make people laugh, but Mr. Collier does it. In point of fact he is a post graduate in the gentle art of pulling laughs. He has created for himself a place In the hearts of the better class of theater-goers which is everlasting. His audience last evening at once fell Under the spell of his enormous vitality and the personal Collier. The step between comedy and farce is so small, that he is wise in his day who is able to distinguish the dividing line. Mr. Collier is a farceur who calls his play a farce, when it Is in reality excel lent comedy. Too, unlike a farce, the plot is not lucidly transparent. It is the unexpected that happens, and conse quently holds interest. "A Lucky Star," which is an adaptation of C. N. and A. M. Williamson's novel "The Motor Chaperon," by Anne Craw ford Flexner, is one of those rippling but peculiarly entertaining plays, a bit more definite perhaps than is usual in this class of theatricals. Briefly it tells of the complications which arise from the, chartering of a motor boat to. two separ ate parties, one of whom is an American artist, and the other two young girls. In order to make the trip a concession needs be made Mother Grundy and a chaperon Is engaged and a sort of house-party organized. The story is embellished by numerous episodes and counter plots, but the chief strain is the efforts of the artist to de termine which one of the two girls he is in love with, and the discovery after he has placed his floating affections that neither of the maidens care for him. Fortunately, so that all may end happily, the chaperon turns out to be in diKiruine. and under the gray wig and glasses is very cnarmmg. So, once again, traditions are preserved and each Jack finds his JUL Mr. Collier is indeed a lucky star, save In one thing. Chance, or probably Charles Frohman, who has given the production such lavish and elaborate scenic equip- ucui, una aiso seen ttt to give Mr. Col lier a most inadequate support. The charm of the play lies solely in the ar tistry of the star. He is in his element, and at no time needs the aid of a specialized part to project him into' the foreground of public interest. He is more droll, and quietly humorous than ever, and his gatling-gun repartee takes In the additional virtue of being partly impromptu and charged with original hot from the griddle CoHierlsms. "A Lucky Star" will shine again tonight, tomorrow night and Wednesday night, with a mat inee on that day.- It's a certain cure for that indigo feeling. Gaekwar of Baroda, Ruler in India, in Toils for Speeding. LIBERTY COMES QUICKLY Maharajah, Stopped in - New I Io dic lie,, Produces Passports With Ust of Titles That Fairly Stagger Rural Officials. NEW YORK. July 11. (Special.) For the first time in his life' the Maharaja Gaekwar, of Baroda, was un der arrest this afternoon. The absolute ruler of two million Indian subjects wasr charged with being an "accessory before the fact to excess automobile speeding through the streets of New Rochelle. The- Maharaja was in the hands of the law no longer than five minutes. The' policeman said the car was go ing 25 miles an hour. "How can I tell how fast we were going; it -didn't seem to me a reckless pace," exclaimed Gaekwar, Impatient of the law's de lay. Professor Bumpus, of the Museum of Natural History, came to the rescue of the East Indian visitor. He chanced tobe acquainted with the policeman and formally Introduced the policeman to Gaekwar. The potentate smiled and produced from an inner pocket a much emblazon ed passport which he showed to his captor. The long list of titles and dignities to which the passport referred fairly staggered the bluecoat, who saluted, and Gaekwar lifted his plaid cap In return.

FIGHTING RELIGION BEST North Yakima Woman Has No Time for "Molly-Coddle' Type. ' NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., July 11. (Special.) Mrs. Charles Gibson, the wife of the pastor of the First Metho dist Church of this city, received a round of applause at prayer-meeting this week for her bold declaration that she had no use for the "molly-coddle" sort of religion whichtakes its owner off in a corner somewhere, there to exercise it alone, but that she believed In the fighting variety, which can min gle with the crowd. The statement followed some re marks by the "pillars of the church" to the effect that they had spent a quiet Fourth, away from the prize fighters, gamblers and horse-racers. Mrs. Gibson said that she heard at the Fourth of July celebration, which the brethren had tabooed, a speech which had stirred her patriotism, and which she wished every young person could have heard. Mr. Gibson, who had charge of the meeting, skillfully saved the day by announcing the closln hymn. ACID DOES NOT KILL BABE Two-Year-Old Drinks Four Ounces of Carbolic, but Recovers.

Bowles, of ?fo. 1717 Highland Court, Los Angeles, Cal., of a very severe case of rheumatism ii sufficient reason why any sufferer of thia disease should give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a thorough trial. She saya : "Aa a result of several attacks of th grip, I was finally left in such a condi tion that I fell a victim of inflammatory and muscular rheumatism. The attack came on suddenly and settled in my arms, shoulders and limbs from the knees down to the feet.. My heart soon became affected. I was obliged to go to bed as soon as I was taken sick and for over two months I was helpless. The pains were terrible and drew my arms up tight to my eides. My fingers were swollen to nearly, twice their natural sixe and I could not pick up my handkerchief even. I couldn't feed myself or bear to have the sheets touch me. My feet were swollen and sore and gave me great pain. I had terrible pains in my head which the doctor said were rheumatic and there Were frequent pains in my back. "My home was in Canada, and s doc tor from Toronto treated me for over a year. Then I gradually stopped using his medicine until I quit entirely. I was able to get up from the bed for a few minutes only and had to be helped in everything I did. While in this condi tion, a fnend urged roe to try Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills. In a few days I noticed they were helping my back. The rheumatic pains began to go away and I felt better generally. ' I improved so much that I was able to sew and finally was able to do all my housework. I have been in the best of health since taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and can recommend them very highly for rheu matism."
