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.

BY ARTHUR A. 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.

HOLY WAR PROCLAIMED
After Last Effort to Negotiate, Na

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.

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.
