TIE ACTION IN
ENSIGN WADE'S CASE

Secretary Bonaparte has disapproved
martial III the case of Ensign Charles
T. Wade, who was tried on charges
growing out of the accident on the
gunboat Bennington last July, and has
sent the entire case back to San Fran
cisco for review by the court-martial,
the personnel of which is still there.
The sentence of the court was a light
one. and it is evident that Secretary
Bonaparte does not believe that Wade
was sufficiently punished by the court
martial. Ensign Wade was the senior
engineering officer of the Bennington at
the time that vessels boilers blew up.
The court of inquiry which made the
preliminary investigation of the disas-
ter recommended that Wade be court
martiaIed.
Secretary Bonaparte approved this
recommendation and also ordered that
Commander Young. commanding Off
GER of the Bennington, be taken before
the same court and tried. The charges
made against Wade were for the most
part under the general head of neglect
Of duty" The affairs of the boiler
room came directly under his control
and the court of inquiry discovered a
good deal of neglect there. The Wade
court-martial was delayed for some
weeks by the critical illness Of the Of
ficer, who suffered severely from the
shock of the accident and the suisse
quent action against him. The case is
sent back for review. The court is not
required to change the sentence, al
though the Secretary does disapprove.

HARRIS At
THE WHEEL.
Names Committees to
Revive the Builders
and Traders,

\ The new president, Hon. ". W. Har.
| ris has taken the first decisive ster
| toward making the Builders and Trad
| ers' Exchange a power to be felt in the
| business life of Honolulu. Yesterday
Mr.. Harris announced the appointment
| of the following list of committees to
serve for the ensuing year:
Membership-A. Hamburg, G. F.
| Bush, A. D. Scroggy. A. F. Clark, J.
| Emmeluth.
Fnance-L. E. Pinkham. Thos,
| Sharp, E. r. Bath, J. Emmeluth Geo.
| H. Angus.
Legislative-A. F. Clark. Marston
Campbell, A. Gartley, G. H. Angus,
G.. F. Bush.
Committee on Revision of Bylaws
"A. F. Clark, John Emmeluth, Thos.
Sharp.
It is the last committee whose ap-
pointment has particular significance
at this time The Builders and Traders
Exchange, as everybody knows, lost
ground so fast during 1905 that the
1uN VI TIE
ization altogether was seriously con-
sidered and once almost determined
upon. Afterwards however it was de-
cided to make one more trial at resus-
citation, and with new officers and ]
new blood to see whether the Ex-
change could not be made, as it prop
she n hn fao 20
with in the business life of the town.
This was felt to be the more important,
as shrewd business men believed that
a better day was dawning for Homo
lulu.
Many things, not necessary to be
gone into now, contributed to the de-
cadence of the Exchange, not the least
among them being the collection agen-
cy, now abandoned. That led to all
kinds of complications.
At the annual meeting held last week,
when Mr.. Harris was installed as the
president, there was no definite an
of a change of policy, but
a strong hand was felt to be at the
helm, and in the discussion that fol-
lowed the inauguration of the new re-
gime a determination was announced
to get quarters somewhere in the bust
ness center, make the Exchange
place where business men could see
each other frequently, and generally
to begin to act as though the Elk
change was really alive.
To the end that all this might be
DONE and that changes might be made
in the rules SO that new members
could be secured and the settlement
Of the affairs of old ones facilitated.
it was agreed to appoint a special
committee to revise the bylaws of the
concern, and this is the committee re-
lied upon to be of the most material
assistance to President Harris in put
ting the Exchange back on its feet.
George F. Angus was appointed to
the Board Of Directors of the Ex-
change to fill a vacancy.

TBE BLACK hand
A GOOD DRAMA

'tThe Black Hand" a stirring melo-
drama of the Kentucky mountains,
with one of the deadly family feuds
as the central plot, was given at the
Orpheum theater last night by the
Butler company. This is one of the
best melodramas yet presented, and
bids fair to be a drawing card for the
rest of the week
Aside from the strong climaxes in
which revolvers and knives form a
principal element, there is pretty love
story running through the entire play
which gives Miss Brenda Fowler an
opportunity to display her talent in
this direction. Several pretty scenes
in which the love passag es are partici-
pated in by Miss Fowler and Mr.. Buh-
Ter, are extremely attractive. In ira
gic scenes Miss Fowler is exceptional
ly good.
Mr.. BUTLER as the hero is in one of
his best roles, and as the son Of
man who killed the grandfather of the
heros sweetheart. the role is in good
hands. Mr.. Lowell as the villain shows
to the best advantage. His playing in
The Black Hand - is the best piece of
acting he had done here
Chas. Place as Col. Clayton, Rupert
Drum as Dick Bats, a goodhearted
Southern mountaineer; Auerbach as
the Dutch grocer, Harry Earle as Jim
Clayton, Ernest Wilkes as the sheriff
Reufort as Wash the negro boy, and
Otto CIamens as Judge Clayton are
well cast
Miss Hayward departs from her, US
ual roles to play a character part, that
of an Irish washerwOman. and does
some good comedy work. Louise Oren-
dorf as the voodoo or WITCH is excel
lent. and Juliette Chandler as a sort of
Topsy keeps the audience in good
humor.
The scenery is fine throughout The
cave scene in the third act, where some
thrilling climaXes take place is a fine
stage setting. Taken all in all, with
the soft Southern accent prevailing.
The Black Hand" appeals to a Homo
lulu audience.
