Progressing.
Robert L. Scott Speaks of Mrs. Turner as a
Directress- Company That VIII
Play Jane Doing Wen.

In speaking of the coming produc-
ton of II Travotore Robert L. Scott
remarked last night that during his
thirty years experience on the stage
he has never seen more painstaking
director than Mrs. Turner.
Il have been on the outside several
times when rehearsals have been in
progress and it is really astonishing
the work Mrs. Turner accompanies.
have no doubt that the opera will be
one of the greatest artistic successes
ever had in Honolulu"
Mr.. Scott has been engaged by w. H.
Levers to direct the rehearsals for the
comedy of Jane to be given at the
Opera House a few nights after the
opening. Speaking of the possibilities
of success in the comedy Mr.. Scott
said:
Il have taken out good many COM
panies where l have had new PEOPLE
and after the first production was Gnx-
ious to change some of the members
into anything, but the characters for
which l booked them. But with the
Jane" company there is nothing 10 be
wished.
Last night we went over the first
and second act for the third time, and
the third act for the first time and
really never saw people grasp the sit
utions so readily. The fact that so
competent an actor as Mr.. Levers
is in the cast has much to
do with the success, but then,
too, he has excellent support. 1 can
say this much for the company as it
now is. If had the same people play
ing Jane in the United States l would
not be afraid to play the large cities
and the best theatres. l feel that
when the play is put on, with all the
elegant scenery provided by Mr.. Irwin,
and with the costumes worn by the
members of the company, for it is a
modern play, that the audience will be
surprised. Surprised because the actors
are so nearly like professionals that a
stranger cannot tell the difference.
There is lots to laugh at in Jane and
these people know just how to say and
act that which will strike the funny
bone of the audience"

the telegraph cable, from the north
point of Hong Kong to the southeast
point of British Kowloon, on Sept. 4.
In answer to the usual question of
the Magistrate as to his pleading, Cap
tain Pearne admitted only the correct
ness of the date, and then went on to
address his worship in the following
terms, says the Hong Kong Press:

that we were rather nearer the Know

knew from the fact of the Kowloon
lights having been shut in before we
let go the anchor that we were not near
the telegraph cable. The Hong Kong
lights were not to be observed without
the glass unless they were pointed out.
The fact of seeing the steamer in the
fairway and being within 500 yards of
her induced me to let go the anchor.

 "Campos is very unpopular in Ha~ vsna, Those who are slA loyal to the spanish government are waiting for him to resign.

HANSEN ARRATGNED.
Identification is Positive-The Demented
 Thcoly Weakens.

Theory Weakens.
 New Canaan, Jan 9-The trial of Christopher Hansen, the Swede, who bcmbarded half a dozen houses in this town last Saturday night and early Sunday morning with bullets and stones, smashing in anywhere from a dozen to fifteen panes of glass at each house, began here this afternoon at ? o'clock. Justice Hall and Grand Jury man John E. Whitney conducted the hearing. A long list of witnesses were examined, whose testimony proved al- most without doubt that Hansen was the man who aroused the people on the night mentioned.
 The theory that he is demented has fallen through completely, and the pros- ecution is much more severe than he had anticipated. He was identified by several of the people whose homes he visited early in the evening and de- manded money at a revolver's point A deputy sheriff from Milford was also present at the hearing, and he has strong suspicion that Hansen is one of the three men who 4bombarded the Clark homestead at Woodmont a few nights ago.
 Other prominent police officials be- lieve that Hansen is one of a gang of thieves who are at present operating throughout the entire western part of the state. They believe he is connect ed with half a dozen recent robberies.
 Hansen was bound over tonight to the superior court without bonds The hearing lasted from o'clock to 6:3O this evening.
