MIMIC AND
REAL TRAGEDY

The James Neill company arrived
yesterday on the Alameda and
before noon had found the way to the
stage of the opera house and began re-
hearsing for tonight's presentation of
"A Gentleman of France" The COM
pany consists of James Neill and his
wife, Edythe Chapman, George Bloom

pany are J. De Lacy. Miss A. Ebbetts,
Miss F. Forbes, Miss r. Hickstein,
Miss G. Keller, S. Lewis, c. H. Lom-
bard and Mrs. Morris, recently mar
ried to Robert Morris.
The company had an experience last
in shocking contrast to the scenes de-
picted upon the stage.
A miner insisted in smoking a cigar
in the gallery and the house police
officer, after requesting him to drop
the cigar, put the miner out. As the
curtain went down on "a Gentleman
of France in which Neill had killed
about six men, the house policeman
pushed open the doors for the audience
to leave. AS he did SO, the miner.
who had armed himself with Win
chester rife and stood waiting on the
sidewalk, opened fire. The bullet
grazed the policeman's shoulder but
crashed into the head of DR.. Sims, a
physician and mason, who was just
behind. He dropped dead. The chief
of police who was near by, drew
revolver and shot at the miner. The
latter retreated, but kept up the fire.
The audience was panic-stIicken and
soon the stage was covered with
frightened people. Another man was
shot in the leg by the miner and the
chief of police was wounded in the
hand. The miner was finally shot. re-
ceiving seven bullet wounds from
which he died.
The Neills, who were in their dress
ing rooms, thought that firecrackers
were being discharged

WITH GROWTH
James Neill Surprised
at Development OF
Honolulu.

James Neill and his company of
players arrived in Honolulu yesterday
on their third engagement. Most of
the players are well known to Homo
lulu audiences, and as a whole the
company looks as if it would win favor
with local playgoers.
James Neill and Edith Chapman
(Mrs. NeilD, are both glad to be back
in Honolulu. While they were re-
hearsing their parts yesterday after
noon at the opera house, both Mr.. and
Mrs. Neil told an Advertiser man that
it was like getting back into paradise
again to be here in the winter months.
Mrs. Neili wore a long carnation and
MALE lei about her neck and several
others were festive in similar decora-
lions.

to when you've been f1oundering about

Mr.. Neil took UP the thread of the
discourse.
We're always glad to come to Ho-
nolulu. The city always treats US
well and we like to reciprocate the
compliment by our presence.
But how Honolulu has grown--it's

THEATRICAL.
Q ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,


The opening bill for the Neill season
at the Opera House tonight viii be an
elaborate production of Stanley Wey-
mans splendid romance of the six
teenth century, "a Gentleman of
France"
The play resembles somewhat 1.-THE
Three Musketeers," inasmuch as it is
replete with just such stirring action,
and the lovable D'Artagnan of the lat
ter has a dangerous rival in the De
Marsac of the former.
De Marsac's trusty blade and jaunty
devil-may-care manner never leave
him for a moment
The stirring story tells of his Jour-
ney to the court of Henry of Navarro
where he offers his sword in the service
of the king and meets for the first time
Mile de la Wire, the fairest lady of the
court. Shortly afterward the lady is
imprisoned by the opposition who have
set themselves to overthrow the King
dom of France. Henry of Navarro and
De Rosney, a court power, engage De
Marsac to rescue her from the tower of
the Castle of Chize six leagues to the
south.
The following incidents tell of De
Marsac's journey to Chize and his res
cue of the lady fair, of how his COM
panions, while on the road from Chize
to Montez, play him false. and he again
loses her; how he enters the den of his
enemies and alone and practically un-
aided does battle with six cut-throats
ocfc- %< 1,1 L.
he regains the beautiful prisoner and
conveys her safely to the court of Hen
ry of Navarro. where the charming
romance is brought to happy ending
in a marriage between De Marsac and
Mile de la Wire sanctioned by the king
whom he so zealously served.
In the character of the valiant SOL
der of fortune Mr.. Neill will appear
to splendid advantage, while Edyth
Chapman in the role of Mile de la
Wire, the court beauty, will find ma
terial for the display of her most win
some talents.
The scenery will be feature of the
production and the eight different sets
ment of the play, will certainly evoke
much favorable comment.

the ACCESSIBILITY of the city purchasing
a supply and selling to consumers at
the actual cost of delivery. Several
factories will be compelled to shut
down unless the situation is relieved at
once, thus causing further distress
The Mayor was authorized to see II

It GOES 70 HAGUE TRIBUNAL
ALLIES AND CASTRO AGREE TO
SUBMIT THEIR DIFFERENCES
TO HAGUE TRIBUNAL.
Understanding Is That Blockade Will
be Raised and That Some Money
Must be Paid in Advance Of Arbitra-
ton.

Washington: II has been definitely
decided that the differences between
Venezuela and foreign powers be sub
mitted to The Hague Tribunal for arbi-
tration. This information was given
out after the Cabinet meeting and, aft
err a two hours discussion Of the Ven.
ezuela imbroglio by the President and
his advisers. No official statement has
been made in this connection, but the
decision is as sure as anything is sure
in diplomacy.
The decision to refer to The Hague
was reached in consequence of the for
nal note which was received from the
powers the day before Christmas. in
which. while renewing the suggestion
that President Roosevelt act as arbiter,
an avenue to renew the suggestion of
The Hague was left open. Now the
department has word from its repre-
sentatives abroad that the powers ac-
cept The Hague.
The failure to issue formal state
ment is due to the fact that the accept
ance of The Hague by all the powers
has not been received in formal Ian
guage.
The next step to take will be the
decisions rs to the scope of the arbi-
tration and what shall be the status
of relations between the powers while
the arbitration is in course.
There is reason for believing that
the powers are inclined to have the
preiminaries disposed of in protocol.
This protocol will provide certain con-
ditions which must be complied with
before the machinery of The Hague
can be set in motion Venezuela In
sists that the ships OF war seized by
the allies shall be returned to her.
Great Britain and Germany insist that
there shall be apologies from Nene-
zucla for the insult to their flags, in
the stuniug CT their subjects after the
cCCrcive measures were inauguratcd.
Venezuela wants all corciye measures
suspended. She also wants PREPARATION
for the alleged aid given to the reyoIu-
tiCnia,s by the allies since the coercion
was applied. Germany wants cash
payment of about $3.50 900 as pre-
liminary to further steps toward arbi-
tration.
The United States viii want def
mite agreement by all the nations that
nothing in the awards shall even re-
motely affect the Monroe doctrine prin-
