MURDERER PUUEO
GROWING STRONG
The Native Who Killed His
Wife May Stand
Trial.

Puueo, the murderer of Naomi Kaai
hue, still lies in the Queens hospital,
as well as can be expected under condi-
tons which seem to render recovery al
most impossible. The wound in his
throat still gapes wide open and food Is
yet passed into the stomach through
the oesophagus at the neck. Puueo
takes drink of water occasionally,
but it slakes only the parching OF the
tongue and dry throat until the ragged
opening is encountered. The water
then trickles out of the neck orifice.
This physiological wonder sleeps as
sound1y as a child and Is less affected
with the discomforts with which hos
pital patients are usually beset than
would be supposed. His waking hours
are not much fraught with pain and he
Is as carefully fed as an infant. Dr.
Wood personally attends to the feed
ing of the murderer, that important
function needing steady and trained
hand to master. Hawaiian friends
who have visited Puueo are able to un-
derstand him In his mutterings and 1t
is possible that the police will have an
interview with him IL the task is not
too great for him In his present con-
dition.

est SabbatarianS wrong in going to the
theatre. On these nights the best plays are pro-
duced and the highest prices are realized; at the
matnees the regular prices are cut in two On
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings the houses are turned over to societies,
lodges to religious orE1 nizatiOns, at prices
ranging from 500 to $3.50. The prices
graded in keeping with the play and the number
of people in the cast.
The troupes in these theatres are composed of
people who come from Russia, Rumania and
Galicia, and they all speak the corrupt German
which is known Yiddish The plays in which
they appear range from Shakespeare and Goethe
to those with local color which written by
the "house author for each theatre has its own
playwright and composer, who write several
plays each season. The homemade plays are
mixture of religion and New York life, in which
the author always shows how the poor Russian
may become a valuable American citizen. In
these plays the comedian usually makes his
greatest hits by using jargon which is a mix
ture of Yiddish and Bowery English. One of the
most popular of these plays Chain in Amer
ica," was performed at the Thalia Theatre last
week, and another, THE Ghetto by ThOma-
shefsky had a long and successful run at the
Peoples Theatre. The East Side pushcart man,
the little shOpkeeper and the prosperous mer-
chant, the sweatshop worker and the Division

the successful ward politician, are all represent

ers, and not with the courtesy which is due
to artists" On the other hand, the managers
say that the union was called into existence
not to correct abuses nor to guard against
tyranny but because some East Side agtators
wanted to take revenge on the managers for
their refusal to aid the agitators in their pOlit
ical undertakings.
One of these managers said: I'VE see more of
lhe Actors Union in the newspapers than we do
h theatres. If allowed our authors to
write and our actors to decam things to suit
these labor leaders. and if let our pro
grammes be used campaign sheets, we
should probably never hear anything about the
Actors Union. AS it is our actors have not
struck, we are playing to full houses and
long as the cooperative plan is in operation
fear no trouble"
The cooperative plan makes the actors part
ners of the managers far as the receirts
two equal parts, of which the management
ceives one, the other being divided among the
actors in keeping with their Importance.
The Russian immigrant of the East Side has
the help Of his family in his work, and his fam
ly usually shares his pleasures. He has little
inclination in the direction Of sprees and while
some of his countrymen frequent the coffee
houses, where they play games and smoke, and
others go to the clubs, Of which there are many
