justice said in effect that It was the
duty of the jury to make a clear deci-
sion as TO the guilt or innocence OF the
prisoner. he said that, while they knew
his opinions of Wright's transactions.
they must not let them influence them.
as the verdict must be theirs and not
his.
The justice added that should they
feel inclinded to find verdict of guilty,
they must not be affected in their judg-
ment by the fear that they might by
finding such a verdict cast a slur on
the memory OF the Marquis of Dufferin,
who accepted the chairmanship Of the
London and Globe Corporation on the
strength of statements made by Wright
which facts did not bear out.

His Noble Friends
When Wright FIRST started the com
panies 1t was OF course necessary that
he should first sell stock. To sell stock
he must inspire confidence. This he
did by arraying on his side many OF the
noblemen OF England. among them the
Marquis of Dufferin who became chair
man OF the London and Globe When
the company failed and the real char
acter OF the man, the child Of whose
brain il was, became known. the mar

shortly afterward, his death clearly the
result OF sorrow.
The Prince OF Wales. now King Ed
ward. was Wright's guest aboard his
yacht. and other great names In British
annals were placed alongside that Of
Wright in the social register This
naturally gave him a prestige which
materially aided his business. His

Russia Must Retreat

Europe Regards Island Government as Exas
perated Beyond Further EnduranCe--Japs
Suspect Gar of Playing for Time.

LONDON. Jan 26-Advices from the
Far East have again taken on a more
sinister tone, and it is clearly manifest
that in all the capitals. not even ex-
cepting Berlin, which has held out for
peace hitherto, the belief is rapidly
gaining ground that matters have about
reached the breaking point and that
nothing short OF well defined back
down by Russia can avert a clash.
The Kobe correspondent of the Cen
tral News wires this morning that the
Japanese government is continuing
preparations for war with unabated
energy. The war council, he says. met
yesterday in the presence Of the EN-
peror.
This dispatch is taken as an indica-
tion that Japan has little faith in the
reports Of the pacific intentions Of the
Russian government, and is rapidly
coming TO the conclusion that the Car s
advisers are causing the peace reports
to be circulated for the purpose Of
avoiding sending a reply TO Japan's lat
est communication, and thus gaining
time for more thorough preparations
for eventualities.
japanese Losing Patience.
Although this belief is by no means
universal in the Japanese capital. many
who have up TO this time believed that
pacific settlement would eventually
be arranged are beginning to lose hope.
The arrest Of the japanese interpreter
at the Russian embassy In Tokyo and
the report that he was at the head of
an elaborate system of spying on Jap
anese Official secrets, has been far
reaching in its effects, and the lingo
element in the Japanese capital have
grasped IL and are holding II up as an
other instance OF Russian underhanded-
ness and a further reason for melting out
punishment to those responsible for the
system OF espionage.

KAPPA IS MISSING

Yesterday the police made a thor.
ough search for Henry Kapea. who is
wanted for an alleged embezzlement
of 500 from the Hawaiian Trust Com.
pany. of which firm he was an employee.
The search was continued today but
still only few traces have been found
OF the missing young man.
The police are Of the opinion. in
view of the few clues which have been
discovered. that Kapea took French
leave" by the steamship China. which
left for the Orient last Saturday after.
noon.
Detective McDufie. who has been
detailed on the case. has discovered
several facts which seem to confirm
this theory. Manager Gait of the Ha.
waiian Trust Company interviewed
Kapea on Saturday morning and ON
that occas sion let the young man know
that he would be criminally prosecr
ted.
McDuftie finds that at about ]
o'clock Saturday afternoon Kapea met
girl named Annie Konia, with whous
he was on a very friendly footing.
Kapea gave her q picture Of himself,
telling her she was not likely ever to
see him again.
At 4 o'clock the same afternoon,
Kapea went to the Hub clothing store.
There he purchased a hat, q cap and
several pairs of socks. No Information
can be found regarding Kapea's move
ments after that hour.
Kapea's words to the young lady
are ambiguous. as they might indicate
that he contemplated suicide. as ssat.
ed In the letter which kapea wrote to
his friend Dunn. It might also mean
that he thought Of leaving the Terri
tory. However, the purchase OF cloth.
ing speaks much In favor OF the latter
theory. He would not need new cloth
Ing II he contemplated suicide. but the
clothing, especially the cap, would
come in very handy on an ocean voy'
age.
Kapea lived at the Kamchamehu
Alumni Club house on Fort street. but
he has not been there since Friday
night. II was stated to McDuffie thai
