OLD THEATRE TO
BE REMODELLED
FOR RETAIL STORE
The work of tearing out the front
'and flooring of the old Liberty or
Star theater, which wag begun yoster
'day gave rise to a false rumor that a
'new theater was going to be built In
'that location. The lease on this sti uc
ture Is held 6y the George A. Hunt
' Theater company and has seven years
'yet to run.
It. P. Antle states that a new front
Is being Installed and a new level
'flooring laid to replace the old slant
ing floor, and the old theater room
'otherwise improved to be used as a
'store room, for which a number of
applications 'have already been made
to house a retail business.
These improvements will be wel
comed generally. In the business dis
trict, especially the tearing out of tho
' old rather delapidated looking lobby
front and replacing It with a modern
store front, as the structure has laid
Idle for years past except now and,
then being temporarily occupied as a

dergo Internal improvements: this
week a new candy cabinet is being con
structed in the candy department of
the establishment. The management
cf the lending cufo hi the city evident
ly realize the advantages of such Im
provements, and the benefits derived
therefrom, as evinced from their ac
tion.
The mid-year examinations are now
being given at the local high 'school
the first semester having come to an
end this week. Next week starts the
second part of the school year.
The eighth grade basket-ball team
played the Washington school team
yesterday at Medford. Among the
members of the local team are Donald
Faber, Russell Ross, Michael Snyder,
Carl Coleman and several other young
men, making a good team.'
Mr. Herman Brieme left for Sac
ramental, Cullforuiai, Tuesday -morn
ing. He will doubtless spend several
months In the south before returning
to his home near Central Point.
The fact that the corner at Fourth
and Pine streets is quite dangerous
for auto traffic was again demonstrat
ed last Tuesday forenoon. A Chevrolet
driven by Mr. Everhard of this city
collided with a Studebaker car com
ing from Medford. The latter was not
materially damaged,' only a front wheel
being thrown out of line, but the
Chevrolet was disabled quite badly.
The corner at this point is dangerous
because the view Is obstructed so that
the antolBt Is unable to acquaint him
self with the approach of another car,
until It is often too late. j
The ancient game or horseshoes has
again revived In the city, and now
many hotly contested games are pl.iy
ed on the municipal pitching grounds.
The city championship has not yeet
been decided. However there are sev
eral champions in the making. Veter
ans of the game are dally proving their
wonted skill as pitchers by deftly plac
ing ' "ringers" around the peg.
Mr. Morrison, en route south, spent
Wednesday with Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Wiley or this city.
A certain personngo, perhaps or the
city, perhaps not, has taken up the
practice or being a "Peeping Tom,"
gazing through the windows of the
residences or the city at late hours of
the night. At times putting the occiij
pants in rear of him and the actions he
might do. He has not only annoyed a
few residents, but ninny in fact, it
rather seems to Ue his hobby. What
personal enjoyment he receives out of
his actions, seems to be a question of
doubt. With his nightly meanderings
continued he will run afoul, and then
no doubt, -a plausible theory can bo
given for his annoying actions.
Mr. J. T. Sutton and Mr. Howard
Kell were visitors in the city Satur
day night from Gold Hill. Ill luck be
fell the former. The young man had
just received a nice large turkey at
the country store at the F. and E.
theater. He felt qulto elated over his
good fortune, hut some miscreant who
decided that he needed the turkey
worse than .Mr. Sutton, availed himself
of Hie opportunity of getting himself
the fowl while the owner was absent.
Ho was successful In his venture nml
us yet is nnappreliented. The owner
being a very shrewd man hus traced
several good cluos, but they were
valueless. Nevertheless ho still wishes
to know why ho was the victim of
such a foul robbery.
As the fourth number-of tho lyceum
course is given on Monday night the
country store always given at the F
and E that night, will again be given
on Saturday night, in conjunction with
Agnes Ayres starring In "Racing
Hearts," supported by Theodore Rob
erts and Richard DIx. The famous
photoplay "The Illrth of a Nation,"
libs been secured by the management
for three nights next week, commenc
ing with Tuesday. Tonight William
Desmond will star In the serial start
ing 'tonight, "Around the World In
Eighteen Days."
The city is improving the various
city side walks' and streets with heavy
granite. Indeed, a great benefit to
the pedestrian and nutolsts of the
city.
Miss Margaret Collins Is now re
covering rapidly from a severe case
of appendicitis and was conftnod to
her bed 'for over a week as a result
thereof.
Miss Grace E. Bowman spent Sun

ents and brothers, Wayne, Raymond,

CENTRAL POINT, Jan. 24. The
Central Point high school basket ball
teams will play the Ashland boys and
girls teams tonight in the gymnasium.
This is a return game on the boys'
part, while thls is the first one play
ed by the girls, both games will prore
to be very good. Last Friday night
the teams of Phoenix played Central
Point on the local floor. The Centml
Point girls 'werd accorded victory by
a score of 14 to 10. However the boys
were defeated by'several points, but'It
was a very good game.
A large audience was present at the
presentation of tho third number of
the lyceum course. ' The speaker of
the evening, Emam Dee Handle, was
In every sense a good entertainer, she
presented dramatic selections, descrip
tive and numerous selections. The au
dience was kept in a laughing mood
throughout the evening, no doubt some
of the individuals present had not had
such a good opportunity to enjoy them
selves by laughter for a long time.
The opening of the new service sta
tion located on Pine and Fourth
streets, was delayed, because of the
painting operations still being carried
on. IHowevers the painting is now
practically completed, so that the
station will soon be able to cater to
the public. ;

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Albert
H. Kail was back in WashinKton toduy
under a subpoena to appear for ex
amination by tho senate Investigating

tional disclosure wus made yesterday
by K. L. Doheny, California oil mug

The purpose, he said, was to enable
Fall to purchase further rAnch prop
erty in "New Mexico nnd he was em
phatic that It was a purely personal
loan to a life-long friend and one
which he intended should be repaid.
Mr. Fall had been summoned for
examination today but at his request,
because of his physical condition, his
appearance, has been deferred until
Monday.
Upon his arrival here late last night
from New Orleans, ho declined to dis
cuss Mr. Doheny s testimony or to
make' any statement other than to an
nounce ho was a slck man.1
Accompanied from the south by
J. W. Zevely, personal friend and
counsel of Harry F. Sinclair, Mr. Fall

proximately $100,000 Which It has
been testified was made him by Sin

of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve

During the more than two hours of
vigorous cross-examination of Mr. Do

the loan to Mr. Fall he was not willing1
to turn back the lease.
Mr. Doheny replied that if It would

lie would be. "perfectly willing" lo
recommend such a course to his com
pany. Sinclair to llctiim.
In addition to Mr. Zevaly, several
representatives of the Sinclair inter
ests are In Washington and are pre
paring to present to the committee a
statement covering nil essential -features
of the transactions leading up
to and following the awarding of the
Teapot Donio lease. They declare
that Mr. Slnclnlr, now In Europe, will

abroad will permit. (Jrattan T. Stan

An angle of the Teapot Dome con
troversy developed today on the ho.uac
Hide of the capltol when the naval
committee asked Rear Admiral Greg
ory, who was before It on other mat
ters, to produce Monday the leases for
the naval oil reserves in Wyoming and
California.
Members of the committee Indl
