With Writer, Life is Always at the
BEGINNING.

1t is not as easy for a writer to tell
how he succeeded as it is for a business
man. In finance, for example, a man
may think that he mas succeeded when
he has made 81 100000. or $4,000, 900. or
$50, 100000. In this case there was a
definite aim. a definite attainment, and
Il definite measure of success. In the
profession of law. young man may look
forward to a judgeship in the supreme
court as the goal of his professional sue
cess. If he wins it, then. by his own
calculations, he has succeeded Illustra-
tons could easily be multiplied when you
are talking of success outside Of art As
soon as you raise the question whittier
or not a painter. a sculptor. a musician,
or a writer has succeeded. such an in

such workers, there is no end to their
work. No matter what they may have

ton come up for whether

Furthermore. with a writer. life is al
ways at the beginning. Each undertake

and the last problem may be the great

THE WRIGHT CASE TO
TO Be TAKEN Up
SATURDAY
HIS ATTORNEYS WANT sUPERIN-
TENDENT BOYD AS A WITNESS
OTHER GOVERNMENT Off
GALS WILL BE CALLED.

Evidently there is something doing"
in the Wright case. The sensation
which everybod believes to be at the
bottom of the charge of embezzlement
against b. IL. Wright, the former chief
clerk Of the Public Works Department,
may break into startling eruption this
week. An intimation, very slight of
course, but nevertheless an intimation,
of what the defence in the Wright case
will be, was given this morning in the
police court. Wright may be convicted
of the alleged charge, but he proposes
to make a fight over every inch of
ground and in his fight, he will prob
ably call on some high government Of
ficials, James IL. Boyd, Superintendent
OF Public Works included, to give evil
dence in the matter.
The case was called for examination
this morning in Judge WilcoXs court
Wright was present with his attorneys
c. w. Ashford and Carlos A. Long,
George A. Davis not being present.
Deputy Attorney General Douthitt rep
resented the Territory, High Sheriff
Brown was also present.
Your honor" said Mr.. Ashford, as
soon as the case had been called, Mr..
Boyd, the Superintendent of Public
Works is a material and indispensable
is desired here as a witness. We there
fore ask for a continuance to await the
arrival of Mr.. Boyd who is now absent
from Honolulu. We will not waive pre-.
liminaTy examination. We will in all
probability make our fight here and in
siSt in the prosecution making its fight
here. see by the papers, and 1 am in
formed that it is correct, that Mr.. Boyd
is due here on the China from San
Francisco, and therefore ask for a
continuance in order that he can APP
pear here as a witness"
The prosecution is ready to proceed
in this case" said High Sheriff Brown.
Deputy Attorney General Douthitt Is
present to conduct the prosecution for
the government"
Mr.. DOuthitt repeated the statement
that the prosecution was ready to pro-
ceed.
Mr.. Boyd is the head of the depart
ment where the defendant was employ
ed rejoined Mr.. ashford, "and his
presence here as a witness Is very nee
essary."
After some discussion a continuance
was granted until next Saturday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock. Mr.. Boyd will prob
ably arrive here on Friday morning as
the China is due on that date from San
Francisco. He will therefore have am
pie time in which to appear in Judge
Wilcox's court to give his testimony.
Just what line of policy the defence
proposes to follow was not divulged,
In the opinion of many, Wright's attor-
ney think they have something up their
sleeves and they propose to spring it
at the preliminary examination.

HALF CENTURY AS
SEAFARING MAN
NOTABLE RECORD OF CAPTAIN
CAREY OF MOANA-VESSEL AR
RIVES TODAY AHEAD OF TIME.

The S. S. Moana, Captain Carey,
arrived off the port at an early hour
this morning, day ahead of time from
Sydney, Brisbane and Suva. The pres
ent trip has special significance to Cap
tain Carey, and he probably took occa-
sion to celebrate the fact by causing
his vessel to make faster time. This
is his fiftieth trip across the Pacific
and also his fiftieth year as a seafaring
man. The event was celebrated by the
passengers on the Moana, who held a
concert last evening. 1t is proposed to
further celebrate the Captains ami
VerSary by having a grand entertain
ment between Honolulu and Victoria.
The through list of passengers on the
vessel is quite limited, so the managers
of the big show decided to wait until
after the passengers at Honolulu had
boarded the vessel The reputation of
Honolulu people as musicians and en-
tertainers is we'll known, and their fell
low passengers and the officers of the
Moana propose to profit by these tai
ents.
The Moana left Sydney September 5,
Brisbane September 10, and Suva Sep
tember 10. In the poetic language of
b. b. Bendall, the purser of the vessel,
The water of the Great Pacific during
the entire voyage was as sea OF oil
Although the vessel left Suva two
days later than the latest news brought
to this port by the Alameda last Fri
day, Purser Bendall states that he
heard no news at Suva. He was con-
versing with the cable man at Suva
shortly before the Moana sailed and
was Informed by that official that no
important news of the outside world
had been received.
DR.. and Mrs. Gordon Campbell and
daughter-are through passengers. They
have been visiting the various South
Sea Islands. Dr. Campbell is a physi-
clan of New York City and intends to
write a scientific work dealing with his
observations of the islands visited.
They boarded the vessel at SuVa.
Mrs Drieer Is the wife of the surgeon
