MURPHY AND
THE BR|BE
The PunchbowI Sport
Looks For a Sure
Thing.

AT attempt to bride Murphy who is
to meet Barry in a fifteen round con-
test at the Orpheum on Saturday
night, has been shown up by Murphy
handing the letter of his correspondent
to Joe Cohen the manager of the Or
pheum and arranger of the contest.
The letter, which was received
through the mail yesterday by Murphy
reads as follows. There is no address but
Murphy is asked to reply through the
post office if he accepts the proposition.
Mr.. Murfy, in care Joe Cohen.

Mr.. Joao at Mr.. Cohen's hands or feet.
whichever happen TO be most conve-
nient, if Joao shows up round the Or
pheum. Cohen wanted Murphy to
write an acceptance at first to get hold
of Joao but the press agent thought the
story too good to be lost and Cohen did
not want Joao betting around Punch
bowl on false pretences before he came
round to deposit the stake money.
Murphy was mad when he first read
the letter especially when Nicolls, his
manager, calculated that he was being
asked to throw the fight for a possible
$3.50. This is the first time / WAS
ever bribed'', said Murphy yesterday to
an interviewer, land by Jim l didn't
think I was reckoned that cheap as a
sport. I'd like TO get that Dago in the
ring for about ten hits of the gong, he't
look like a busted MUNICH of Portuguese
grapes before 1 got through with him"
This attempt at despoiling Murphys
honor having failed there is nothing in
the way of a fair fight on Saturday and
Murphy does not intend TO come out at
the losers end of the contest Eat all,
at ALL" Neither does Barry and Irish
blood will be up about the second round
and probably flowing before the deci-
sion comes.
Cohen who is supposed by many to
favor Barry, though from a business
he is simply looking for the
best man to meet Millet and others yet
to come, said yesterday afternoon that
it would take a clever man than he was
to pick the winner. IF either of them
wins they will know they have been IN
a contest" said he. I'D wager that
both of them will be looking for the
soft side of the pillow for week or
two. They are both in elegant shape
and there's nothing backward about
either of their dispositions

PIANIST TO
PLAY AGAIN
Prudential Will Give
Matinee Recital at
Punahou.

Arrangements have been made with
Prudential to give a matinee concert
at Punahou Hall Saturday afternoon.
SO many music lovers had no opportun-
1ty to hear this celebrated artist in his
previous concerts that Mr.. Prudential
has been besieged with numerous let
tiers and personal visits from those who
wish for another recital and he has
finally been prevailed upon to play
once more. A program has been ar
ranged that will please musicians as
well as students who may attend the
concert and by special request the
CHOPIN Funeral March Sonata viii be
played and also the Corelli Gavotte.
FriedenthaPs mastery of Chopin is
well known. He is generally accorded
to be at his best when interpreting
this author and if pressed as to his
fayorite composer the pianist would
hardly hesitate to name Chopin. A
famous European critic, perhaps the
most famous, once said that Friederl-
thai was the best interpreter that
Chopin's themes had ever known. His,
meaning F'riedenthars, touch, went on
the critic, is peculiarly adapted to the
nocturnes and indeed to all Chopin's
compositions. Prudential possesses a
unique singing quality in his touch
which makes one forget the instrument
and fancy that he hears the melody ,
sung by some sweet voiced chorister 20
stringed accompaniment. This is
great mastery when tech
nfque and mechanism are forgotten and
only harmony remains
While Honolulu fully realized the
opportunity they had of hearing such
a master as Prudential, the tempes-
tuous weather that accompanied his
previous concerts prevented many,
sorely against their wills, from ven
turing out, especially of an evening. 1t is
in response to the urgent requests of
these that Saturdays program has
been arranged particularly for the aft
ernoon. The program will be seen to
be unusually attractive, embracing as
it does the more widely known of
Chopin's compositions and selections
from Brahms and List that are house
hold words to all musicians and music
students. /
Prudential has been fortunate also
IN securing for this concert the SUI
oerb Kranich & Bach piano belonging
% Professor Gerard Barton, loan
which viii much enhance the concert.
Tickets can be reserved at Wall,
Nichols up to noon on Saturday. School
children and students will be admitted

oeing seventy-five cents. The complete
program is as follows:

HUMAN NATURE
AT PROBLEM CLUB

Judge Dickey gave an interesting
| address. last evening, in the rooms. of
the Y NJ. c. A, on Human Nature. >
He said that mans disposition was as
often the cause of lawsuits as his wish
for justice; that is, take away jealousy.
fear, greed, etc, from men and the
judges would have very little work TO
do. He gave several very amusing
examples of legal cases to illustrate
his statement
Mr.. Owen wished to know if the
judges had much to do with liquor and
was answered that forty-nine out of
fifty cases before the police department
had share in drink.
Mr. Martin, said that he, somewhat
like Diogenes in Athens, went around
San Francisco some years ago, to find
an honest lawyer to defend a pooc
man. He succeeded at last by defend
casion, Mr.. Martin heard man charg-
ed with crime plead guilty, when the
judge offered to appoint lawyer to
ue1eiIu iliII. MARTIN wanted also
to know why there We're so many more
technicalities in cases where there was
much money than in cases before the
police judges? He was answered that
lawmakers We're the cause mostly of
technicalities.
Mr.. Brewer wanted to know why
cases could not be decided at once in
stead of being so frequently postponed
and was answered that the people made
more work than the judges could prop
erly attend to.
Messrs. Harrison. Toellner and Young
spoke of the necessary and important |
work of the lawyer.
Mr.. Law said that he had great res
pect for dignified and cultured judges, |
who loved justice, and he would like
to see more of them such as is so fIe-
1uently found among clergymen.
Next Thursday evening P. c. Jones |
will speak on the Use and Abuse of /

Orient on business trip. he thought
himself so we'll known here that IT
would be useless TO spend any time in

Brown told him that his case would
have to be looked into before he would
be allowed to land as the immigration

declared that Brown was holding him
simply because he. Kentweu. was a
Democrat, and Brown, a Republican.
Then kentwell went ashore. AS the
steamer people would be liable to a
fine in case Kentwell was declared to
have no right in the country bv the
immigration officials, if he landed. the
officers of the Doric sent on shore and
had Mr.. Kentwe1 return TO the deck
of the steamer.
Inspector Brown then had wordv
war with Kentwell but later j. K.
Brown, the head of the Chinese In
spection Bureau, went down to the
steamer and ordered Mr.. Kentwell's
release. The latter left the vessel VOW
ing all sorts of vengeance on the Off
Ger who had detained him.

KENT WELL
BACK AGAIN
Gives His Views
Upon Manila
Affairs.
Good Openings In Land
Grants But Labor
Is Lacking.
Mr.. KentweII Thinks Cocoanuss
Should Pay In Hawaii As
Well As In Philippines.

L. K Kentwell returned in the
| steamer Doric from a business pros
pecting visit to the Philippines. He
left here about two months ago.
Il found that the conditions in the
Philippines are very good for future
enterprise Mr.. KentweI said to an
Advertiser reporter last night, but a
at present.
Grants of land are easily obtained
and the soil is good. I took up a grant
of land, only to find the labor ques-
ton staring me in the face
What is the matter with labor
there?" Mr.. Kentwen was asked.
THE Filipinos win not work. They
may work four or five days in the
month and get enough to keep their
families. That is all they want
Hemp, rice, etc, is cultivated on
shares. About twenty families will
do the work on an average plantation.
They get about six-tenths of the pro-
ceeds. Using the cream of the land
they cultivate enough to live on.
''There is something remarkable
about the cocoanut plantations there.
went up to a place called Benquet and
to the Laguna provinces. There you
would see magnificent >cocoanut trees.
IT is a very profitable cultivation. The
Filipino who owns 5000 trees is well-to-
do. Each tree will yield him net
profit of $3.50 a tree The product is
shipped to France. If there is a profit
in cocoanut cultivation in the Philip
pines, I don't see why certain sections |
in Hawaii should not be cultivated |
in cocoanuts. It takes about six years |
for the trees to reach bearing in the |
after which they yield a |
steady income for a long time.
Mercantile interests in Manila are
very much depressed. During the |
American occupation there We're about
IS, 900 soldiers there. Wholesale and
retail houses then did a splendid bust
ness. Since the soldiers have left |
there, business has decreased to such
IN extent that quite a number of mer-
chants have dropped out. Only the

The way things swing around
the circle in Indian Territory is
astonishing even TO those who
live here, when we take time to
pause and consider. 6. D. binds,

newspaper men in Indian Territory

as much advertising as South Nc
Alester. ]. Fleming Jones, editor
OF the Okeemah Independent re-
Gently published a commentary in
which he said that newspaper is
a correct mirror Of the town in
which it is published. And that
is true. The town that is a good
advertiser is a hustler. The town
that does not advertise is not look
ing for new business and when il
don't get new business it loses
part of the old. If South
McAlester were to do more adyer-
Using it would get more business,
ust as the merchants in Muskogee
who advertise are getting more

Self-interest is the spur to all
effort but town in which every
is looking out exclusively
for himself can never become any
thing more than a mere town.
Public spirit is required to build
a city and this sometimes requires

Oklahoma Veterinarian Here-Try,
ing to Exterminate the Disease

Or. L. D. Brown, territorial
vet erinarian of Oklahoma was in
the city from Guthrie today He
was here on official business look
ing after some glandered horses
that were brought across the line
from Oklahoma. One of these
horses, it was learned, was sold on
the streets Saturday for SIPS. II
was afterwards located and was
killed.
J. S. Downs, one of the veter-
inarians of the city, was assisting
Or. Brown. Mr.. Downs thinks
that the council should pass an
ordinance compelling all transient
horse traders 10 have their horses
examined before offering them for
sale.
DIR. Brown stated that 50 gland
cred horses had been killed in Ok
ahoma by his orders since Sept.

THE SMALL FACTORY.

The value Of factories to towr
is conceded and if anybody were tC
come along with proposition tc
establish a sroo, 600 plant Of some
kind in chickasha, the town would
be all excitement. Such enter
prises are Of vast benefit to city
and no opportunity to secure one
should be lost.
But while we lre reaching out
for big things, the fact should not
be overlooked that the small fac
tory is no less important element
in the industorial development of
the community. Ten small fac
tories with a capital Of $40, 900 and
employing ten or more people each
will possibly contribute as much to
the business Of the town as one
factory of ten times the capital.
We have a number Of such insti-
tutions in Chickasha, such as Sig
mon furniture factory, the Chicka-
sha Iron Works, planning mills,
bottling works etc. Encourage
ment should be given to every
home institution. "Patronize
home indurtsy," is an injunction
that cannot be too often repeated.
Use home made products in prefer
ence TO those Of foreign nanufac-
ture, for hereby you will be contri-
buting TO the welfare of the entire
community and thus beneftting
yourself as well as your neighbor.
The fact that an article is made
in Chickasha" should recommend
it to you every time.
Not only should the home in
dustries that we have at present
be encouraged and patronized, but
we should reach out for more like
them. While we are awaiting an
opportunity to land something big
it may be possible to lose by mac
ton the opportunity to get the
smaller factories which are of equal
Importance.
The commercial club should be
wide awake to such opportunities
and every citizen should constitute
a committee of one to head !

any sort toward Chickasha. i

chickasha's commercial club has
done much valuable work during
the past year. Il has perhaps not
done all it might have done. All
things considered, however, it has
done we'll It can do more next
year. The great obstacle it has
encountered has been the indisposi-
ton of large numbers of its mem
bers to actively participate in it. 1t
has had its critics, to be sure. A
large number who were not mem
bers and many who we're members
but did not take any active part in
its wark, could have run things
much better Next year it is to
be hoped that all OF these will enter
heartily into the work of the club
and give the town the benefit Of
heir ideas. Make the commercial
dub the means of building. up every |
interest Of the town.
