LITTLE THEATER CHOSEN
VARIED EXCUSES ARE GIVEN
T. J. Malurkcy, Jr., Said He Drove
at 2 5-Mile Gait Over Broadway
Bridge to Get Boil Dressed,
but Is Assessed $10.
Records were broken in the Municipal
Court yesterday when 30 speeders and
traffic violators, an aggregation rep
resenting nearly as many trades and
professions, were lined up before the
bar of justice. It was the largest day's
business in traffic violators handled by
the court since Judge Langguth took
the bench. The fines levied represented
a grand total of $289.
Of the 30 violators four were arrested
by Motorcycle Patrolman Crane, one by
Patrolman Young, one by Patrolman
Iong and the remaining 24 were vic
tims of Speed Policeman Frank Ervin.
They were all arrested within the past
two days.
The heaviest sentence, was handed
to K. B. Stevens, an engineer at St.
Johns. It was five hours in Jail and
a fine of $25 for speeding on hia mo
torcycle. According to Patrolman Ervin.
Btevens was driving at the rate of 40
miles an hour down Lombard street.
Maple Fined IO.
F. Mapl was fined $10. The testi
mony of Patrolman Ervin was that Ma
ple was going 27 miles an hour in his
automobile down Ladd avenue. He was
arrested at Ladd and Hawthorne ave
nues. A boil under his arm which required
medical attention caused D. J. Malar
key. Jr., to drive across the Broadway
bridge at the unwonted speed of 25
miles an hour. The result was that
he was arrested by Patrolman Ervin.
r. J. Malarkey appeared in court with
his son and explained the situation.
The judge considered the case to be
not an aggravated one and levied a fine
of $10, to be paid in weekly install
ments of $L
"Speeding is not an accident In the
great majority of cases," declared the
judge in pronouncing sentence. "It is
a habit. The only safe way is to cul
tivate the habit of keeping the speed
down.
E. W. Ttossman, Jitney driver, who
nppeared in the Municipal Court yester
day for the fifth time on charges of
traffic violation, promised to go out of
the jitney business, and sentence was
suspended. He was arrested by Pa
trolman Ervin on a charge of speeding.

this week at a mid-day luncheon at
the Hotel New fahendan with a com
munity development talk. The business
men have decided to perfect a perma

Four carloads of potatoes have been
shipped from Kelso during the past
week for MSddle West and California

the same delicate humor in "The Ro
mancers." which is the story of a ro
mantic .young couple, two scheming
fathers and a spite fence. The fence
is an extremely formidable one. con
structed of stone and completely sep
arating the estates of the two fathers.
Passing years break down the hard
feeling between the old men. They
wish to unite their estates, so they
tear down the wall and scheme to
unite their only children, a son and a
daughter: by marriage. This is done
by imposing upon the romantic na
ture of the young people. A swords
man is hired to "fake'1 an abduction
of the young woman at a meeting with
the young man. Combat ensues. The
swordsman feigns a mortal wound.
The victor embraces the rescued hero
ine. ,The fathers arrive on the scene,
give each other the wink and bless
the young people.
Endlngr Is Happy.
Then the fathers quarrel. They re
build the wall. The disillusioned ro
mantic couple separate and the swords
man, who the'old men refuse to pay be
cause the engagement Is broken, plans
a real abduction of the daughter
claiming that he is a marquis, dis
guised as a stone mason. - But, bad as
the tangle appears, Rostand straightens
it out to the satisfaction of the char
acters and the delight of the audience.
Bernard's "French Without a Mas
ter," is a one-act curtain raiser, which
will be staged in connection with the
Rostand comedy. It deals with the
tribulations of a. young Englishman
who elopes with a Parisian maiden and
falls into the clutches of "Percy," an
English tramp, who poses as a hotel
interpreter, but who can "parlez-vous"
no more French than his unfortunate
dupe. Things get so bad that the law
has to step in.

The collegians are working hard on
both plays. H. C. Merriam, assistant
