The whole story is of feuds, and is one of Bret Harte a best, based on "halomy Janes Kiss." It is Salomy's kiss to the man that Inspires him to outwit the vigilantes and return- for her. A trio of talented children add luster and cumulative interest to the play. Corliss Sherman, a young lad whose work has a distinctive and per sonal appeal, ia Willie Smith, who out wardly scorns girls as playmates, but secretly cherishes devotion for one. Anna May. This young lady, in pigtails and a seraphic grin and patched gingham, played tellingly by Beverly Treglio, while Olga Levit. the talented and dain ty little lass who delighted us in "On Trial." appears as Anna May's sister.

The play has any number of good acting part.s and Walter Gilbert has made an artistic production of It. Mr. Gilbert appears In a splendidly-dons characterization of Ked Pete, a hold-up man. Lora Rogers, as his saddened, hard-working wife, adds a, note of true reeling and tils plays excellent emotional art In -her scenes with the children, and with her husband and the vigilantes. George R. Taylor, as the peppery and talkative Colonel Starbottle, added comedy unctuous and effective. Smith Davles. as the love-sick driver, played his comedy delightfully. Eugene Shakespeare had a sort of villain role. the bitter Jealous Rufe. and he played It with dramatic distinction. William Dills, as Salomy's old father.

April 14. fSpecial.) uch mysterious silence permeates the city election to be held in Tacoma next Tuesday that no wagers have been offered. It is a 60-50 break, say the wise ones, between Mayor A. V.' Fawcett and Major C. M. BIddell. In the Mayoralty race. A new situation has developed during the last week. resulting from Mayor Fawcett's shrewd political sense in patching up his dif ferences with the labor unions. As a result of the friendly feeling existing between the administration and the labor chiefs it is likely that the workers will throw their influence t" Fawcett and he will cast hla strength with H. Roy' Harrison, labor candidate for Commissioner. George Thompson, defeated in the primary for Mayor, is working for Fawcett. Fred Shoemaker, high man in the primary for Commissioner, and Harri son are picked as the winners for places In the Council. They are being pressed hard, however, by Edward Meath, former state treasurer, and Calvin J. Carr. John F. Meads seems to have the edge over John M. Roberts for Controller. Fifty-one per cent of the voters went to the polls at the primary. What the remaining 49 per cent will do in the finals cannot be determined. There seems to be but one certainty and that the defeat of the 14.000.000 bond issue, to cover the cost of acquiring new power sites and erection of power plants to meet the demand of Indus trial concerns. As the capita! Issues committee of the Twelfth Federal Reserve Bank. San Francisco, disapproves of anything but highly necessary bonds in war time the voters do not favor the proposi tion. At tha primary they rejected the S3.200.000 issue to purchase the street car lines by a ratio of more than three to one. Bowen, salesmen In the liberty bond campaign, called on William Isensee at his business place at 49 North First street and attempted to sell him a bond they say they were so unceremoniously received that a near-fight resulted. M Isensee was taken to the police station, where a charge of uttering unpatriotic remarks was lodged against him. "I won't buy a bond and don't believe in buying bonds, it is reported Isen see said when solicited. This war is not my war and I am not in sympathy with the cause." Mr. Bowen and Mr. Jones remon strated with him, and when action be came more violent Isensee was placed under arrest. Captain Inskeep set his bail at S500, which had not been furnished late last night. 251 MORE MEN ASKED THIRD DRAFT CALL IX, 35 DAYS REACHES PORTLAND. Disloyal Suspect Is Jailed. When C W.
