ton fled against J. J. McCarty, one OF

McCarty never entered the premises
named in the information and no evil
dence has been produced to show that
the defendant was connected in any way

Kamehameha Concert.

The program of the Kamehameha
concert to be given next Tuesday will
contain some new features, which, it is
hoped, will prove very attractive. A
chorus with an obligato part by Miss
Richards, and a Ia song by large
chorus, including the Preparatory
School boys, are worthy of mention.
Two plantation oddities of a new and
striking character and a Hawaiian song
with yodel will also be rendered.
The Hawaiian Band will give moon
light promenade concert before the reg
ular concert, and there is some thought
of making the whole affair an outdoor
moonlight concert, with all the attend
ant features.
